Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

When the Regent arrived, Chen Jia was holding a bow and arrow, looking very ready. He aimed at the target and shot an arrow, hitting the bull's eye.

Chunlu and the others jumped up excitedly and clapped their hands, "Your Majesty hit the target, amazing!"

Chen Jia glanced at the Regent from the corner of her eye. He stood there silently. She continued to draw her bow and shoot arrows, no longer looking at him, her attention completely focused on the target in front of her.

She shot arrow after arrow until she had used up all the arrows in the quiver and then she put down her bow.

Chunlu immediately stepped forward to take it, and Xiali brought a basin of water and a clean towel, saying softly, "Your Majesty, please wipe your hands."

"Okay." Chen Jia washed her hands and dried them slowly.

Xia Li retreated with the basin and handkerchief.

The Regent stepped forward at the right moment, "Your Majesty——"

"Let me have a cup of tea." Chen Jia walked to the stone table and sat down. Dong Zhi poured a cup of tea and brought it to Chen Jia. She took it and drank it all in one breath without tasting it carefully.

"Your Majesty..." Dong Zhi quickly poured another cup. Chen Jia did not drink it all at once, but took a few sips. "Pour tea for Prince Changping."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." The Regent was stunned for a moment, then sat down opposite the Queen. He played with the teacup but did not drink.

"Uncle, you can talk now." Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, Chen Jia reminded him.

"Your Majesty is quite leisurely!" The Regent sighed and looked straight at her. "I heard that Your Majesty had a very pleasant conversation with the young man from the Cui family yesterday. I believe you must be very satisfied with him..."

The son of the Cui family, Cui Yi?

Chen Jia smiled and said, "He is indeed more interesting!" That was all.

"What a pity..." He suddenly spoke again, and said meaningfully, "The young man of the Cui family has great ambitions and is unwilling to live in the backyard of the palace. I have promised him a bright future."

At last, he said with deep emotion, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you will be disappointed——"

Even if I follow His Majesty, I will have a bright future. After all, if there is a chance for gossip, a young man with a high aspiration like Cui Yi will definitely give up the original one if there is a better and brighter way forward.

This is not difficult to understand.

"It's human nature." Chen Jia nodded. She was not surprised at all. What was surprising was that the Regent would actually ask about this matter.

In Chen Jia's view, this was just a very ordinary little thing, so ordinary that it was not worth mentioning.

He doesn't seem like the type to fuss over little things.

"Your Majesty, aren't you disappointed? Finally, a toy to relieve boredom appears, and it is really aimed at the high branches!" The regent said coldly, "I only gave a small benefit, but he didn't even hesitate for a moment--"

This is really an exaggeration!

In fact, the two met each other outside the palace gate last night. Cui Yi hesitated for a while before getting off the carriage and taking the initiative to walk towards him.

The Regent thought that he was well-mannered and had a clear temperament, and was a rare and outstanding person!

Master Cui has indeed cultivated an outstanding young man, who will surely become a great man in the future!

Unfortunately, it was too hasty——

If you want to find another way, it depends on whether he agrees!

"Greetings, King Changping. Is King Changping waiting for me on purpose?" Faced with many ministers who were secretive about their existence, Cui Yi still managed to remain calm and behave in a generous and decent manner.

The Regent did not say much. There was a huge difference in status between the two men: one was a powerful prince with outstanding literary and military skills; the other was not well-known and had not even entered officialdom, and was still protected by his family.

He doesn't even take such second- and third-generation officials seriously.

The Regent raised his hand, revealing several letters in his sleeve pocket, his expression distant and cold, "Pick one?"

Cui Yi opened the letters one by one in front of him. Each letter contained only a few words. Cui Yi was very smart and could understand them at a glance.

He was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.

The regent remained calm and warned, "You are smart and should know the consequences of greed..."

Cui Yi originally wanted to ask His Majesty whether he knew about this matter, or whether this matter was instructed by His Majesty.

Now it seems that there is no need to ask.

The attitude of Prince Changping more or less answered some of his questions; if he asked further questions he would be classified as stupid.

The letter only contained simple place names and official titles. He could choose one and take up the post immediately without having to worry about the other party secretly trying to trip him up.

The only thing is that these places are very far away, thousands of miles away from Kyoto.

If you really go there, you will probably suffer a lot.

Cui Yi believed that the King of Changping would not let him get promoted easily. Even if he gave him a chance, he would be able to pull him down again.

However, as long as he has the ability and can make achievements, promotion is a matter of time.

Since the King of Changping hoped that he would be "sensible" and took the initiative to give him the choice, he was promising that he would not interfere!

Cui Yi really went through a struggle between his conscience and his desires. On one side was his grandfather's earnest expectations, and on the other was an opportunity he had been desperately seeking.

A chance to prove your ability in a fair and aboveboard manner;

An opportunity to rise to prominence without having to rely on a female ruler;

An opportunity that is hard-won but represents a brand new turning point!

Cui Yi held the letter tightly, recalling the scenes of his time with the lady in his mind.

Although the time was short, he had a great time.

Unfortunately, it’s too short!

It was not short enough to be a weight on the scale, and it was so short that after King Changping threw out a few temptations, his heart was already biased!

Cui Yi's face was pale, his fingers were white, and he thought for a moment. He took a deep breath, as if relieved, "I've thought it through!"

He pulled out one of the letters, and that was his answer.

The Regent nodded, not at all surprised, and just ordered, "The appointment document will be issued tomorrow, you can prepare now!"

Cui Yi was shocked again. He didn't expect that the other party was well prepared. Then he smiled bitterly.

I am too young and immature now. If I want to compete with an old fox like my grandfather, the means are too different.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, King Changping!" Cui Yi calmed down and thanked him.

The Regent waved his hand and got into the carriage.

Cui Yi looked at the carriage going away with mixed feelings. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad for a moment. He could only sit back in the carriage nervously and go back first.

Yesterday, Cui Yi's repeated hesitation turned into no hesitation when it came to the Regent; coercion and inducement turned into active pursuit.

He really spared no effort to discredit Cui Yi's image, trying to let the lady know his "true face"!

"People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. It has been like this since ancient times." Chen Jia did not do as he wished, and still had a good impression of Cui Yi. "He is a talented person. As for how much ability he has, we will know soon."

A talented person may not necessarily be suitable for being an official; a person who is suitable for being an official may not necessarily be talented.

Since Cui Yi was interested in a career in politics, Chen Jia had no objection to the Regent giving him this opportunity.

It was not until the queen stamped the document he handed over without changing her expression that the Regent vaguely realized that he might have made a mistake!

However, he does not regret it!

All hidden dangers that pose a threat to him must be eliminated.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The fact that the queen did not blindly believe in Cui Yi's talents had already pleased the regent, and he readily stamped his seal to release him, further proving that the queen did not have any other thoughts about Cui Yi, whom she had only met once.

Chen Jia stared at the clerk and smiled, "I hope Cui Yi will not disappoint us!" Work hard at your post and benefit the people!

The Regent King looked sanctimonious and smiled, "I hope so!" Don't even think about getting close to the queen, just be quiet!

The two smiled at each other. Although their train of thought were different, they strangely coincided at this moment!

Because the appointment document was issued, Cui Yi, who had left Kyoto and was on his way to take up the post without stopping, said: You are noble, but I work like a slave!
