The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Shao Dian Chun'e smiled and said, "Although I have never heard of this person, I just asked the doctors and they all said that he is eloquent and upright, and is a good candidate. I think he can be the head of the Grand Tutor."

"As for the position of Zongzheng, it would be best to give it to Lord Wen. Lord Wen is the Right Zongzheng, and now she is the right person to be the Left Zongzheng."

"As for the position of Right Zongzheng, I will listen to Sixth Sister and recommend Feng Rankai. I heard that this person is well-educated and intelligent. I heard that you have taught her, so I think she will definitely be able to serve as Right Zongzheng well."

She paused slightly as she spoke and moved closer to Shaoding Haolan.

"Second sister, Master Shi is the head of the Southern School of Confucianism. She can do such a despicable thing. Needless to say, the great Confucian scholars in the court will never let someone from the Southern School take the position. Wu Xin is from Nanyu and is from Second Sister's fiefdom. It is better to let her take the position than to let someone from the Northern School take the position."

Shaodian Haolan took a deep breath. She had not checked the background of Wu Xin and didn't know the whole story, so she ignored him.

Instead, he bowed and looked at Emperor Feng on the high platform.

"The matter of recommending official titles still needs the decision of the Mother Queen. I have no idea."

Emperor Feng looked back and forth at Shaodian Sishui, Shaodian Haolan, and Shaodian Chun'e.

Finally, her eyes fell on Wenren. She thought about it for a while before issuing the order.

"From now on, you will be appointed Right Zongzheng Wenren as Left Zongzheng, and be granted the Jade Butterfly and the Official Feather, and you can take up the post immediately."

Wenren frowned slightly and glanced at the Sixth Princess. She always felt that there was some conspiracy that she had not yet figured out.

But now is not the time to refuse. After all, no one is more suitable for this position than her. She can be promoted to a higher level. No matter what conspiracy is behind it, as long as she does not participate in it, those conspiracies will not fall on her.

"Minister, I accept your orders."

Shaodian Sishui had just taken out the memorial and stood up to continue his report when he saw Emperor Feng's face suddenly change and he started coughing violently.

"Ahem... The position of the head of the Grand Tutor will be discussed later. I adjourn the court."

She stood up and left, walking quite quickly, without giving Shaodian Si Shui any chance to make another report.

Shaodian Sishui touched the tip of his nose with his index finger and looked at Emperor Feng who was almost fleeing in panic.

There was originally a memorial to be submitted regarding the snow disaster, but she didn't want to hear it, so it's not her fault.

Shaodian Sishui put the memorial in his hand back into his sleeve, with a smile on his face.

When Emperor Feng left, all the ministers did not leave yet. They waited for the princesses to leave first, then the three dukes and nine ministers, and finally the lowest-ranking officials to leave.

Shaodian Haolan flicked his sleeves and walked away with a sullen face.

Shao Dian Chun'e sighed and joked, "Second sister, don't walk so fast. Wait for third sister!"

Shaodian Haolan ignored her and strode away.

Shaoding Chun'e looked at Shaoding Haolan's back, walked towards Shaoding Sishui and stood beside her.

Although she was a head shorter than Shaodian Si Shui, she acted very self-important and reached out to pat Shaodian Si Shui on the shoulder.

"I didn't expect it. What Sixth Sister did today was really eye-opening. Three loyal subordinates died in two days. I'm afraid Second Sister will be pissed off by you, hahahaha..."

Shaoding Chun'e laughed heartily and was very pleased with herself.

Shaodian Sishui had a faint smile on her face. She stood there with her arms folded, watching Shaodian Haolan's back as she angrily left. Only after she disappeared did she look away and glanced at Shaodian Chun'e beside her.

"That's what Third Sister said."

"Although you hurt my face before, I don't intend to pursue your fault. You did a good job today. Keep up the good work in the future. I will never forget your kindness in the future."

Shaodian Chun'e patted her shoulder again, looked at Shaodian Sishui deeply, and said something meaningful.

Shaodian Sishui sneered, "Third sister is really generous."

Shaodian Chun'e was not angry at Shaodian Sishui's ridicule, but felt very comfortable instead.

Shaodian Sishui is nothing but a useless waste. Watching her fight with Shaodian Haolan is quite pleasing to the eye.

Shaoding Chun'e laughed wantonly a few times and strode away arrogantly.

Shaodian Sishui walked forward a few steps slowly and arrived next to Prime Minister Yan Xiangru.

She looked at Yan Xiangru for a few times and said something meaningful.

"The Prime Minister is just like Master Wen Zhong. He was so tired that his face turned pale in such a short time today. Could it be that the continuous heavy snow in Bianjing has caused the Prime Minister's family to run out of charcoal fire, causing him to catch a cold? If you are sick, you should rest well. If the Great Zhou loses the Prime Minister, who can share the worries for the mother emperor?"

As he spoke, he looked at Shaodian Ziqing beside him.

"Seventh sister, I remember you have a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. Why don't you give it to the Prime Minister to take care of his health?"

Shaodian Ziqing was slightly stunned. How could she not know about that hundred-year-old wild ginseng?

But since her sister said so, she certainly couldn't refute it.

"Yes, there is one." She looked at the Prime Minister and sized him up. "If the Prime Minister is really ill, I will give him one."

Shaodian Sishui hummed, clenched the inner edge of the cloak with both hands, raised his head and chest, and left with brisk steps.

When Shaodian Sheyu and Shaodian Ziqing saw Shaodian Sishui leaving, they followed closely and caught up quickly.

Wen Zhong frowned slightly and squinted his eyes to look at Shaodian Si Shui's back.

Thinking about what she just said, he couldn't help but chuckle and sigh.

"Prime Minister Yan, this Sixth Prince is really different from what has been rumored. You often attend the morning court, so you must know a thing or two about the Sixth Prince."

She looked at Yan Xiangru beside her, with tentativeness and shrewdness in her eyes.

Yan Xiangru concealed the light in his eyes, raised his fist and coughed a few times, then nodded suspiciously.

"Oh, really? If General Wen hadn't mentioned this, we wouldn't have even seen his true face."

She smiled and flattered Wen Zhong, bowing and speaking ambiguously.

"General Wen is still as discerning as ever. Unfortunately, I am shortsighted and have never noticed it. Now it seems that the Sixth Princess has indeed changed a lot."

She pondered for a moment, looked at Shaodian Sishui's departing back, and then looked at the snowy winter outside and sighed meaningfully.

"It has been snowing heavily in Bianjing for a long time, and the charcoal stored at home is almost burned out. If this continues, my old bones really can't stand it!" She sighed and looked at Wen Zhong; "Perhaps I can find someone to borrow some charcoal."

She seemed to have figured something out, laughed heartily, and walked out.

Looking at Yan Xiangru's departing back and thinking about what she had said to the Sixth Princess, she reacted extremely quickly.

"Charcoal, I don't have much left at home, I should borrow some from someone. Who do you plan to borrow from, Minister Yan?"

Yan Xiangru ignored her.

When the two men met other officials who were bowing and flattering them, they just weakly returned the greeting and left without saying much.

After the two of them left the palace, Yan Xiangru looked at Wen Zhong who was pestering her with displeasure, and bowed after getting in the car.

"Master Wen, let's say goodbye now."

Without waiting for Wen Zhong to say anything else, she quickly asked the driver to drive away.

Looking at the direction the carriage left, Wen Zhong cursed inwardly; "Old fox."
