Chapter 855 The Day

However, it seemed to not be the right time yet.

He was going to wait. He was going to make the decision later.

Since he had another plan in mind, he did not dare to say anything to his father, who was going to counter him for sure. He was very burdend.

***

Ten days later.

The imperial order for Gu Zhenkang’s promotion was pa.s.sed on and he became the Officer of the Ministry of Personnel.

That a small officer was promoted directly to being the Officer of the Ministry of Personnel was a rare thing – Gu Zhenkang was the only person who had achieved that in history. The Gu Mansion was extremely glad for that.

Gu Zhenkang, finally, had a normal position. He was the Officer of the Ministry of Personnel!

Mrs. Gu was the most delighted.

After Gu Ruxue married Lord Ling, Mrs. Gu had received greetings from many people. Every madame came to her politely, but she felt that something was missing.

The other madames all had husbands with a high position, whilst she was the only person who gained her reputation because of her son-in-law.

From this day on, Mrs. Gu felt that she had all the right to straighten her back.

“I am Mrs. Officer of the Ministry of Personnel, the mother-in-law of Lord Ling. No one else is more happy than me,” Mrs. Gu said with a smile as she looked at the imperial order.

Gu Zhenkang laughed too.

It was indeed a very delightful thing.

Gu Ruxue just walked in and corrected her mother as she heard the words. “Mom, you are not right.”

“Why not?” Mrs. Gu asked in confusion. That was totally right!

“You are the heir’s mother-in-law, the Princess Consort of the Heir’s mother,” Gu Ruxue said with a proud look on her face.

It took Mrs. Gu, Gu Zhenkang and Gu Yunhe a long while before they realized what she meant.

After a long while, the three of them were surprised. “Is… is that true?”.

Gu Ruxue smiled and nodded. “The imperial order has just been pa.s.sed today – Lord Ling has become the heir officially and the announcement will be made soon. You are the first ones to know about it.’

Mrs. Gu gasped. She just could not believe what happened, then she was overcome by excitement.

Lord Ling had become the heir, and Ruxue was the Princess Consort of the Heir! So Ruxue was soon going to be the Queen! Mrs. Gu got so excited!

“Gu Chaoyan never believed that she is worse than you, but she will never be able to catch up with you,” Mrs. Gu said proudly.

Her daughter was always better than that of Ms. Lin’s.

Gu Ruxue snorted.

“She is nothing. When the heir takes the throne, I am going to deal with that b.i.t.c.h directly. She is just daydreaming when she thinks that she is better than me!” Gu Ruxue said sinisterly.

“True. No need to hurry! Ruxue, let’s wait and see!” Mrs. Gu said with a smile.

Gu Zhenkang was very happy too, as he laughed alongside.

The King was in a good mood too. He had pa.s.sed on a series of imperial orders, but what mattered most was to have a discussion about the endowment ceremony. It was the first heir set up for the court, and the Ministry of Rites people were not very familiar with the process.

The heir was also not yet healed. He was still lying in bed.

The King was worried that his ideas would not be good enough, so he asked Honored Princess Jing to join him for discussions of more details.

De Fu was waiting outside, feeling anxious as he saw the discussion carried on vividly.

News had come from the town – The Queen pa.s.sed away and it was time for the ceremony, so De Fu had no idea what to do.

The King, who noticed De Fu’s anxious look, asked, “What is it?”
