He gave a signal to the people behind him, and the ministers all followed suit.

“We, the ministers are also willing to give up our… positions.”

Nalan Cui was so angry that he laughed, and left the imperial court with a gloomy face.

Returning to the imperial study, the eunuch delivered a letter.

Nalan Cui asked, “Where did you get this?”

The eunuch replied, “Your Majesty, this was just delivered by imperial guard Chen Zhao. He said that he handed it to the Emperor on behalf of an old friend.”

Nalan Cui still had some impression of Chen Zhao. He took the letter. On it was written: Yuyan.

He raised his eyebrows. Since when did this Yuyan have a connection with Chen Zhao? He could even ask him to help deliver the letter. This was not something a normal relationship would do.

Opening the letter, there was only one sentence: this commoner dares to recommend himself just to help you solve your problems.

Nalan Cui put the letter aside and pondered for a while. Then, he found a eunuch and gave some instructions.

Su Yan had nothing to do. She brought a group of servant girls to pick osmanthus flowers in the Imperial Garden. The osmanthus flowers in this season were just enough to make osmanthus cakes.

At this time, a figure walked over from afar. It was somewhat familiar.

Yuyan saw Su Yan and turned around. He walked over and bowed, “Princess Consort.”

Su Yan became a little interested and said, “Why didn’t you stay at Star Seizer Pavilion? Why did you come to the imperial palace?”

Yuyan cupped his hands and said, “It was the Emperor who invited me into the palace.”

Su Yan was even more curious. A eunuch walked over from afar and said that the Emperor was urging him.

Yuyan bade Su Yan farewell.

Su Yan did not stop him and waved him off.

After being bored for so many days, she had finally encountered an interesting matter. Of course, she would not let it go.

She quietly followed. After Yuyan entered, the door to the imperial study was closed.

Just as Su Yan approached, the door was suddenly opened.

Yuyan’s eyes were always unfathomable. He said, “Princess Consort, if you want to hear it, come in.”

Su Yan was surprised that he knew that she would come. However, his curiosity only gained the upper hand and he walked in.

Nalan Cui smiled and said, “Yuyan just said that sister would come. I didn’t believe it.”

Su Yan looked at Yuyan again. There was no emotion on his face.

Yuyan cupped his hands and said, “I just passed by the Imperial Garden and bumped into Princess Consort. I dare to guess that with Princess Consort’s temperament, she will definitely come.”

Nalan Cui followed up and asked, “Then why did you pass by the Imperial Garden?”

The path from the palace gate to the imperial study was not on the same path as the Imperial Garden.

Yuyan calmly cupped his hands and said, “Isn’t the Emperor worried about the resettlement of refugees this time? I am helping you solve your problems.”

Nalan Cui looked at Yuyan with a thoughtful expression.

Su Yan was confused.

Yuyan had already turned his attention to Su Yan and said, “Princess Consort, there is a granary in your dowry, right?”

Su Yan nodded and asked, “How did you know?”

Yuyan smiled and said, “I have my own ways.”

Nalan Cui also understood what he meant and was even more afraid of Yuyan.

Su Yan understood the seriousness of this matter and immediately nodded. “I will open the granary and release the food now.”

However, Yuyan stopped her and said, “Princess Consort, don’t be anxious. We still have a long way to go.”

Su Yan was puzzled and asked, “Then what should we do?”

Yuyan said, “Princess Consort, how about giving me the right to use this granary?”

Su Yan nodded. This was not a big deal.

Yuyan bowed to Nalan Cui again and said, “Emperor, how about giving this matter to me?”

Nalan Cui said indifferently, “What do you want?”

Yuyan smiled and said, “I want to enter the imperial court as an official.”

Nalan Cui revealed a smile and said, “I have allowed it, and I have also allowed you to take the position of chaplain.”

However, he had given it to him. Whether or not he had the ability to sit still was up to him.

While the two of them were chatting and laughing, they threw Su Yan, the current boss, to the back of their minds.

Su Yan reminded him, “Yuyan, if you enter the imperial court as an official, what about Star Seizer Pavilion?”
