An Tian followed Yao Chuguang's footsteps through the backyard of Xueyue Tower, and the sound of their footsteps echoed in the quiet courtyard.

"How come you have time to come here?" An Tian asked as they walked.

Yao Chuguang smiled slightly and replied, "I came to give you something."

"What is it?" An Tian's curiosity was completely aroused.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the main building in the backyard.

Yao Chuguang gently pushed open the half-open door, and what came into view was an exquisite and gorgeous dress.

The main body of the dress is a deep dark green, and the fabric is made of high-quality silk, which has a soft texture, a warm luster, and feels great to the touch.

The lapels and cuffs are embroidered with complex cloud patterns in gold thread, and every stitch and thread reveals delicacy and sophistication.

The most eye-catching thing is the patch on the chest, which is a square embroidered piece with a pattern representing a third-rank civil servant - a phoenix with wings spread out, ready to fly, with plump feathers, bright eyes, and a lifelike look.

The official hat is more exquisite. The hat body is made of black gauze, and the top of the hat is inlaid with a piece of jade. The jade color is warm and has a faint luster.

On the brim of the hat, golden tassels hang down gently, swaying gently in the breeze, making it look both solemn and lively.

An Tian approached the official uniform, her fingers gently touching the fabric, feeling the delicate texture.

This style is actually the official uniform, and it is the court dress of the third rank.

An Tian felt an incredible shock in her heart. She looked at Yao Chuguang, as if silently asking: Is this for her?

Yao Chuguang walked up to the official robe, gently stroked the delicate fabric with her fingers, and said, "In three days, wear this court robe and enter the court. You will be the first female civil official in Qi."

An Tian's heart was filled with ecstasy and sorrow. She suppressed her emotions and said worriedly, "The ministers will not agree to a merchant serving as an official, let alone a woman."

Yao Chuguang has been on the throne for less than a year, and his relationship with court officials is already delicate. If he allows An Tian to serve as an official in this reckless manner, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court.

Yao Chuguang appeared calm and composed, saying calmly, "It's normal for the ministers to object. I'll just ignore it."

Yao Chuguang looked back into An Tian's eyes and said seriously, "I won't say anything high-sounding to help you settle this matter. All I can give you is an opportunity, a platform for you to display your ambitions and talents."

"In the future, you will undoubtedly face all sorts of doubts and ill will, and even be targeted for no reason. You will have to face these all on your own. I will not favor anyone in the court."

"If you don't have the ability to shut everyone up, then I can only say that you are not fit to be an official."

After saying that, Yao Chuguang slowly walked out of the main building. Other people's doubts are not scary. What can defeat yourself are often the doubts in your heart.

If you don’t even believe that you can do something well, how can you make others believe that you can do it well?

If it was other matters, Yao Chuguang might encourage or help An Tian, but when it came to court affairs, Yao Chuguang could not bring in personal emotions.

The officialdom is cruel. If you step into this arena ignorantly without the ability, you will only hurt others and yourself.

Every move of an official is related to the livelihood of the people. It can even be exaggerated to say that your words determine the fate of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people.

Even if Yao Chuguang appointed An Tian as an official today because of her talent, once Yao Chuguang found out that An Tian could not control the people under her, she would not be able to deal with the ministers' doubts and difficulties towards her.

Yao Chuguang would remove An Tian without hesitation at the first opportunity. Although it was a bit cruel to her, it was Yao Chuguang's duty.

Yao Chuguang turned around and looked at An Tian outside the door and said, "You have three days to think of a way to make all the officials shut up."

An Tian turned around and shouted, "What if I can't figure it out after three days?"

Yao Chuguang waved his hand without replying, "Then keep thinking. When you come up with something, you can put on this official robe."
