As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 84: Appointment of an official, a visitor

Sister Killer Star traveled far north to the battlefield.

Restaurant,

A black shadow flashed by and threw itself into the man's arms.

The pitch-black cat was very aloof and didn't get close to any of the guests or waiters in the tavern.

There is only one exception.

Mingchen withdrew his gaze from the distance, gently stroked the cat's head with his palm, looked at the cat's bright, heterochromatic eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Mo Xing, can you see the fate of my sister Sha Xing?"

The cat tilted its head to look cute and didn't say anything.

"Can you see my destiny?"

The cat shook its head.

"Sir~ I'm back~"

Just then, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.

A stream of white light passed through the window and landed precisely on Mingchen's shoulder.

Humph, sir, you are touching this lazy cat again.

Fuyaoer doesn't know what it means to be a scumbag.

But she inexplicably felt that she was working hard outside to support the young man at home, but the young man used her hard-earned money to get close to the annoying lazy cat.

She is a green bird!
hateful!

"Fuyao'er is back."

Mingchen glanced at the sword that was neatly placed beside the table and asked with a smile, "Is she okay?"

Fuyao paused and said, "She smiled."

"Yeah~"

……

"Have you heard? The Imperial Master has fallen!"

"I heard it, I heard it! Heaven has eyes! Your Majesty has finally come to his senses!"

"The demon is a disaster for the country. He should have been killed long ago. How can anyone in this world live forever?"

"I, Qian Yuan, suffered this great disaster because that so-and-so Imperial Master deceived Your Majesty."

"This is truly a heinous crime! Fortunately, Your Majesty came to his senses in time!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"I heard that the Wu Huiyuan of this year's imperial examination is a disciple of the God of War!"

"Is this true? The God of War? Is that the one? My Qian Yuan is saved!"

"Speaking of Huiyuan, I wonder what happened to Shopkeeper Ming? Did he sell the restaurant after becoming an official?"

……

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

My brother has not been heard from since he passed away. There has been no news from him to this day, as if he had fallen into the sea.

As long as the war outside does not threaten the capital, there will not be any major changes here.

The restaurant was bustling with people, chattering and drinking.

People talked about their recent experiences at the dinner table, including major family and national affairs as well as trivial matters.

What people don’t know is that all those big events are inextricably linked to the owner of this restaurant.

Mingchen has been living a very peaceful life these days. He either goes out for a stroll when he has nothing to do, or plays with birds and kittens at home.

Whether it's the Emperor or the Crown Prince...

They all seemed to be keeping their composure.

The Imperial Master left in a very miserable manner, as if nothing had changed, and no one investigated the cause of his death.

All we need to know is the result. We only need to know that this mysterious alchemist is dead, his property has been confiscated, and his entire clan has been executed.

The emperor seemed to have come to his senses, and Qian Yuan was saved.

This is enough.

Until now, no one has come to talk to Mingchen, the culprit.

The emperor took advantage of the death of the imperial teacher to clean himself up. Those who believed believed it, and those who did not believe it dared not speak out.

The prince remained silent. The letter brought to him by the bird did not cause any waves, and no one knew what he was thinking.

It is a good thing to be able to keep calm when a latent dragon is not in use.

If the prince gets angry now, Mingchen will have misjudged him.

……

Although Xiao Yu is lazy in government affairs, he is still very efficient.

Before taking the final palace examination of the imperial examination, Mingchen had already received the emperor's decree, granting him an official position and a residence.

Hanlin Academy editor, sixth rank official,
The Hanlin Academy is similar to the emperor's small secretariat and the cabinet's reserve force, and can be upgraded to the cabinet's large secretariat in the future.

The editor was mainly responsible for compiling the Veritable Records, recording the emperor's words and deeds, drafting documents related to ceremonies, and a series of other matters.

The official position was not high-ranking and he didn't even need to attend court.

At the beginning, no matter how much the old emperor trusted Mingchen, he would not let him soar to the sky directly.

Random promotions will only lead to the collapse of the bureaucratic system.

Before the palace examination was held, he was directly assigned such an official position, which was enough to express the emperor's attention and sincerity.

The position of the Imperial Master is in an awkward situation now, and it is destined to be impossible for someone as young and excessive as Mingchen to take it.

Besides, Mingchen is not Xu Yingsu. He not only has the ability to help Xiao Yu live forever, but also has more outstanding political ability and national vision, so he needs to be entrusted with real power and promoted like a normal official.

The actual official position will never compare to the "official position" in the old emperor's mind.

A little revision is just the beginning.

……

"Congratulations, sir. Xinyue will have to call you sir from now on."

Although he became a civil servant, he was also allocated a house.

However, Mingchen didn't like living there. Instead, he preferred restaurants with more lively atmosphere.

He basically doesn't show up anymore, leaving everything to Xiudie and his men.

We have guests visiting today in the private room on the second floor.

The bird flew away to play, and the cat lay lazily by the window.

The beautiful woman raised her wine glass, her bright almond-shaped eyes reflecting the shadow of the person in front of her, and she said with a smile.

The second princess of Daqian, Xiao Xinyue.

Compared to the famous crown prince, this princess seems to be less well-known.

It was not until the war between the two countries broke out that this name came into the public eye.

Being the fuse of war is not a good reputation. It is also the nightmare of this beauty. For three long years, the gorgeous flower has been tortured by guilt and almost withered.

Until recently, she seemed a little different.

After being watered, it became shiny and beautiful again.

The princess raised her eyebrows, her eyes were bright, and she was confident and cheerful, no longer as depressed as before.

There are always different kinds of beauty in beauties.

Compared to Sister Killer Star, she lost some of her sharpness and decisiveness, but gained some natural nobility, as if her grace and pride were natural.

It must be said that this old man Xiao Yu has good genes.

Mingchen waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, no, it's just a small edit. It's not worthy of your Highness's attention."

Chatting with a beautiful girl is certainly much more interesting than chatting with that old orange-faced imperial teacher.

The old emperor's son and daughter actually left a pretty good impression on Mingchen.

No one is perfect. Everyone has shortcomings. Mingchen himself has some, and they are not small.

But their shortcomings cannot cover up their own brilliance.

But unfortunately, Xiao Yu refused to die and tortured both of them severely.

"Hey, sir, you're joking."

The princess couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this. She leaned closer to Mingchen, her bright eyes trying to see through his playful face and into his inner self. "I'm afraid it's just the little princess Xinyue who can't catch your eye~"

This person said "I dare not", but he did not show any humility at all.
