Chapter 1929: Chapter 960: The Obsessive Baby-Boasting Maniac (Dragon and Phoenix Twins Extra)
Ever since Xiao Hen took over the cabinet, he has always been high-profile in handling affairs and low-profile in personal conduct. He saves on formalities wherever possible and never puts on airs.
But today, for the first ti ever, is the Pri Minister actually planning to call each one into his room for a talk?
The two Vice Ministers, three Grand Academicians of the Cabinet, and several Secretariat Officers all gathered outside the Pri Minister’s Interdiate Hall, puzzled by today’s proceedings.
“Is it because we’ve committed so recent offense and been caught?” asked Vice Minister Liu.
He was originally a confidant of Grand ntor Zhuang. After Zhuang was defeated, Liu defected and sincerely proved himself to His Majesty.
Another Vice Minister with the surna Zhang, due to his severe offences, could not be pardoned even after defecting, and was dismissed and prosecuted. The person who replaced him was surnad Wu, selected from among the Grand Academicians of the Cabinet.
Vice Minister Wu pondered, “We haven’t committed any offenses recently… Could it be the Pri Minister has discovered I’ve promoted a relative?”
In clear waters there are no fish; no era can guarantee that its officials are completely clean. However, these few people at most have so minor sches and can’t be seen as the country’s parasites.
On normal days, Xiao Hen would turn a blind eye, and he generally wouldn’t interfere unless things went too far.
“If even the two senior cabinet mbers don’t understand the situation, then for us—” said the Grand Academician of Wuying Hall, surnad Kong.
The cabinet has a total of six Grand Academicians, only the Pri Minister and the two Vice Ministers are qualified to be respectfully called cabinet elders. The other three, from Wuying Hall, Wen Yuan Pavilion, and Dong Pavilion, are only referred to as junior cabinet elders.
“Indeed.”
“Indeed.”
Grand Academicians from Wen Yuan Pavilion and Dong Pavilion nodded in agreent with a sigh.
Vice Minister Liu said, “The three Grand Academicians need not worry, the Pri Minister is not one to be capricious. His summons today must be to inquire about recent official business.”
Vice Minister Wu hurriedly responded, “Yes, indeed, since the Pri Minister took office, he has never really had a confrontation with us. Even when things went awry daily, he would lightly remind us. Today… perhaps there’s good news.”
“Hopefully, it is so,” said Academician Kong.
Not long after, the secretary beside the Pri Minister ca out and called Vice Minister Liu in first.
Despite claiming not to be worried, Vice Minister Liu’s face turned pale once he was summoned.
For so reason, he felt the atmosphere today was overly serious.
Has sothing major actually happened?
Is the Pri Minister going to groom his people, making them secretly pledge allegiance one by one?
If one doesn’t surrender to the Pri Minister, would they be ruthlessly eliminated in secret?
With clenched teeth, he entered the Pri Minister’s study room.
Xiao Hen was sitting on the official chair behind his desk, this youngest Pri Minister in the history of Zhan Country demonstrated what it ans to be accomplished at a young age, becoming a head of Guozijian at thirteen, suffering betrayal, wandering the common society, yet returning to the Capital City at eighteen as the top passer, and at nineteen topped the scholar list, joining Hanlin Academy, the cabinet, and the judicial departnt, and at twenty-one rising to the Pri Minister position.
It’s a legend of Zhan Country that will surely be recorded in history.
“Under-crier, pays respect to the great lord,” Vice Minister Liu dared not act dismissively due to Xiao Hen’s youth.
“Mm-wa~”
Suddenly a small, sweet voice ca from next to Xiao Hen, and Vice Minister Liu paused for a mont.
He had a poor sense of sll and didn’t catch the milky fragrance in the room.
But his ears weren’t deaf.
Bracing himself, he took a glance beside the Pri Minister, oh my god!
Two kids!
Xiao Cong and Xiao Yang lay side by side in their cradles next to the table. As the weather wasn’t too cold anymore, they weren’t wrapped in swaddles. Xiao Cong continued being a quiet little handso boy, while Xiao Yang was nibbling her hand.
The little sweet voice just now was made by her.
“Are they the young lady and young master of the lord’s family?” he asked in a daze.
“Mm.” Xiao Hen answered mildly, with a proud expression.
Vice Minister Liu was stunned, what’s going on? You’re pulling duty and bringing your kids?
So the purpose you called to your study—
“Mm.” Xiao Hen signaled to the secretary beside him.
Understanding the cue, the secretary brought over two red chicken eggs with a kindly expression, saying to Vice Minister Liu, “The lord gives you these red eggs.”
Vice Minister Liu: “???”
He’d seen people giving eggs two days after a child was born, but have you ever seen two months later still giving red eggs?
Without changing his expression, Xiao Hen said, “Mainly because I forgot last ti, so I’m making it up this ti.”
Vice Minister Liu: So the whole ti, you just wanted to give so red eggs? You should have said earlier! Look at how scared you got everyone else!
“Cute?” Xiao Hen asked with a straight face.
“Cute… cute!” Vice Minister Liu was almost doubting his sanity.
