The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 617 - 617 297 Praise (Third Watch)

?Chapter 617: 297 Praise (Third Watch) Chapter 617: 297 Praise (Third Watch) The following day, Xiao Liulang got up early to go to the Hanlin Academy.

There was a festive atmosphere within the Hanlin Academy, with frequent sounds of congratulations and laughter coming from another row of offices.

Xiao Liulang initially did not understand what was happening, until Ning Zhiyuan arrived and quietly informed him that Yang Xiuzhuan had been promoted.

News of Yang Xiuzhuan’s imminent promotion was no longer a secret, though it was understood to take place at the end of the year.

“Do you know how he got promoted?” Ning Zhiyuan asked.

“How was he promoted?” Xiao Liulang was not particularly interested in Yang Xiuzhuan’s affairs, but simply indulged Ning Zhiyuan’s desire for gossip.

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s talk about it at your place!” Taking Xiao Liulang by the arm, Ning Zhiyuan led him to the office that always emitted a captivating aroma.

“Mr. Chen was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue early this morning,” Ning Zhiyuan noted.

It was not uncommon for the Six Ministries to requisition staff from the Hanlin Academy. Moreover, Mr. Chen, a royal aide, had long been desired by the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue to work under his supervision.

Yang Xiuzhuan was promoted as a result of the vacancy created by Mr. Chen’s departure.

Originally, Mr. Chen was also supposed to be transferred only after the new year, but things happened to unfold just so.

“I heard that several books that were restored in your Book Pavilion were well received by Prime Minister Yuan,” commented Ning Zhiyuan.

Xiao Liulang had restored most of the books, but not all. Yang Xiuzhuan and his group had also restored a portion, so Xiao Liulang could not guess immediately whether the books that were favored by Prime Minister Yuan were the ones he had restored.

Ning Zhiyuan was even less informed.
