Chapter 103: Serving as an Official in the Court
Chapter 103: Serving as an Official in the Court
"Xiao Jian, you have finally cleared your parents' charges!" As Xiao Jian's confidant, Benjamin patted Xiao Jian on the shoulder and said.
"Xiaoyanzi, Xiao Jian, you two should go and thank the emperor! Your Xiao family is finally cleared of all charges!" Ziwei reacted quickly, looking at the silly Xiaoyanzi and spoke.
The shock that had just happened to Xiaoyanzi and Xiaojian was too great! They had finally solved the problem of the enemy who had killed their parents! They had done it!
At once, many emotions surged in their hearts, including excitement, happiness, loneliness and sadness. These emotions made them stay where they were for a while.
After hearing Ziwei's reminder, Xiaoyanzi and Xiaojian hurried forward and said to the emperor, "Father Emperor, Xiaoyanzi would like to thank you on behalf of my parents! Thanks to you for helping them clear their grievances and clearing their name! You also treat their daughter like a treasure! Father Emperor, thank you!" Xiaoyanzi was so moved and excited! She avenged her parents, but the person who helped her avenge her gave her too much love! She really wanted to cry!
"Xiaoyanzi, why are you saying all this? You always said that I treasure you like a treasure! How could I let you suffer any injustice? It is my duty to clear your parents' name." The emperor cried bitterly as he looked at Xiaoyanzi, whom he loved so much. He felt very distressed. Although Xiaoyanzi was not his biological daughter, the happiness that Xiaoyanzi brought him was real! He would always regard Xiaoyanzi as his own daughter.
Xiaoyanzi was so moved that she went forward and hugged the emperor, crying loudly.
"Xiao Jian! Since your parents' innocence has been proven, and your parents are both righteous people with feelings and righteousness, and I see that you are also well-spoken, I wonder if you are interested in staying in the court to work?" The emperor made this decision after careful consideration. He invited Xiao Jian to stay in the court not only because of Xiao Jian's family background and his own abilities, but also because of the relationship between Xiao Yanzi and Xiao Jian.
He! He was worried about Xiaoyanzi every day. Now that she had found her brother and had the status of a princess, her brother would have to stay in the capital. If he had nothing to do, it would not be good. Moreover, there was Xiaoyanzi's marriage. Concubine Yu had always disliked Xiaoyanzi, not only because Xiaoyanzi was not suitable to be a concubine, but also because Xiaoyanzi was not a girl from an aristocratic family and did not even have the support of her mother's family. Now, if Xiaojian entered the court, even if he was a minor official now, with his eyes on people, Xiaojian would definitely become an important official in no time.
Of course, he could come to such a conclusion because Erkang Ertai and Yongqi had a good opinion of him. They met at that time because they were attracted by Xiao Jian's good conversation, and then they learned that Xiao Jian's martial arts were also extraordinary. Such a man who is both civil and martial must be very popular in the court!
As soon as the emperor said this, everyone looked at Xiao Jian, wanting to know his answer.
Song Qing and Xu Tian didn't expect that the emperor would extend an olive branch to Xiao Jian. This opportunity to enter the court without taking the imperial examination is like becoming a civil servant without taking an exam. Xiao Jian is lucky! But I don't know what choice he will make?
Ertai, Erkang, and Yongqi were also very surprised by this, but they very much hoped that Xiao Jian could agree to it. If the court could have such a talent, it would definitely be a blessing for the court!
Benjamin's thoughts were simpler. He knew that if Xiao Jian became an official, it would be easier to meet him in the future. He could go to the palace with Erkang Ertai and the others.
But no matter what everyone is looking forward to, the final decision is in Xiao Jian's hands.
In fact, facing the olive branch extended by the emperor, Xiao Jian was also struggling. If it was before, he would definitely refuse without hesitation, because he did not like the court and did not want to stay in the court. But now, he really hesitated. On the one hand, it was because the emperor helped him and Xiaoyanzi to avenge, and there was Xiaoyanzi's future. He was Xiaoyanzi's brother, and he knew the relationship between his sister and Yongqi, but in such a palace, their relationship needed too many things to maintain, and he could not live too selfishly. He should also consider Xiaoyanzi.
"Of course Xiao Jian is willing. Xiao Jian would like to thank the emperor for his grace." The reason why Xiao Jian agreed was not only because of what he had just said, but also because he knew that the emperor did this for Xiao Yanzi. It was very rare for an emperor to be so thoughtful for Xiao Yanzi and act so low-key, so he naturally agreed.
The matter was settled in this way, and everyone was very happy. The problem was solved, and Xiao Jian also had a job.
——Shufangzhai——
"We got a great bargain this time! Not only did we avenge Xiaoyanzi and Xiao Jian's parents, but we also helped Xiao Jian get a job." Benjamin said happily.
Benjamin was really happy. He regarded Xiao Jian as his confidant. Now that Xiao Jian got what he wanted, he was naturally happy.
"Yes! It's really a pleasant surprise to be able to do this!" Ziwei also thought that what Benjamin said made sense, and they really did a good thing this time.
"To be honest, Tiantian and I didn't expect it to be like this today. It's really worth celebrating." Song Qing felt that this matter was really well handled, mainly because the emperor was really awesome! Otherwise, this matter would definitely not be resolved smoothly.
After hearing Song Qing's words, everyone was even happier. They knew that Song Qing and Xu Tian were from the future, and they knew their stories, but they had never asked about their own affairs, and Song Qing had not said much, probably to prevent them from losing their expectations for the rest of their lives! Now with Song Qing's affirmation, everyone knew that perhaps their performance in history was not so good.
I have to say, they really are the truth! They are so willful!
"This is really a pleasant surprise. My brother can now serve as an official in the court. I am so happy!" Xiaoyanzi has been very happy. As for whether her brother will become an official or not, she has not thought too much about it. She only knows that her brother has a job and is no longer an unemployed vagrant!
Xiao Jian actually didn't feel anything. Maybe he was a little numb after the great joy. He only knew that he had taken revenge and his whole body relaxed. Now, listening to everyone's words, he finally found some feeling.
"I never thought that I would be able to serve as an official in the court." Xiao Jian told the truth.
