Xu Wei and Ji Liuyun listened to the conversation between the two in the study, hearing it crystal clear.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Xu Wei peeked out through the gap in the window and could just make out Su Ziqin’s elegant profile.

“Mhm.”

Lin Jinyun came in with a memorial, smiling as he explained, “Sister Ziqin is the daughter of my younger sister’s adoptive parents.”

“Oh.”

Xu Wei laughed in understanding, “No wonder, I was wondering where Miss Lin had acquired another elder sister.”

“Sister Ziqin and my younger sister have a close relationship, so don’t be glib with her when you see her in the palace tomorrow. You’ll only make yourself disliked.”

Lin Jinyun cast him a glance and reminded him with a smile, “Otherwise, if you offend Sister Ziqin and my sister holds you accountable, you’ll have a potful to drink.”

“Ah, I understand.”

Xu Wei, unconcerned, straightened his back and bragged, “Anyway, I am someone who will soon be entering the court and possibly be titled king or a high-ranking minister. I have talent, looks, money, and power; why would I ever stoop to doing something that would make me disliked?”

“Hehe, you.”

Lin Jinyun joked with a smile, “I haven’t seen any other talents, but your skills in running your mouth are top-notch.”

“Become a king or a high-ranked minister?”

Ji Liuyun’s train of thought on a test question was interrupted as he glanced at Xu Wei, “You really dare to boast.”

“How is that boasting?”

Xu Wei’s eyes darted around as he moved closer to his junior brother, winking and making faces, “With the talents of you and me as senior brothers, the backing of our respected teacher, and our close relationship with our younger sister, entering the court this time, we should at least be a Vice Director of the Central Secretariat.”

“Maybe, if our younger sister is happy, she’ll directly promote us to the inner cabinet, holding a quasi-first-rank position, commanding the Six Ministries. It’s not impossible.”

“You wish.”

Ji Liuyun rarely engaged in a war of words with him, giving him a roll of the eyes, “Do you think the Six Ministries is just for anyone to pick and choose?”

“Junior brother, don’t you doubt it.”

Xu Wei glanced at Lin Jinyun, observing his reaction. Seeing his smile without speaking, he felt emboldened, straightening his neck to argue with his junior brother.

“How about we make a bet? I’ll bet that our little sister will definitely not treat us poorly. The first thing she does after ascending the throne will be to announce our appointments, ensuring that we have a firm hold on the Six Ministries. As for which ministry we’ll be appointed to, that will depend on Jinyun’s preference.”

“Me?”

Lin Jinyun didn’t expect the topic to suddenly shift to him, his sword-like eyebrows raising slightly in surprise, “Why would Brother Xu think so?”

“Our little sister is not familiar with my and junior brother’s abilities.”

Xu Wei’s mind was agile, and his thoughts spun quickly, “She will naturally consult Brother Liuyun for advice on appointments. At that time, we will have to rely on Brother Liuyun to say a few good words for the two of us in front of the Empress.”

“Brother Ji has taught my sister before.”

Lin Jinyun understood and chuckled, “My sister is well aware of Brother Ji’s moral character and talents; there’s no need to consult my opinion.”

“Uh.”

Xu Wei choked, lost for words.

“Hehe.”

Ji Liuyun found it amusing and joked, “Senior brother, do you still want to bet?”

“Yes.”

Xu Wei refused to admit defeat, his neck stiff.

Ji Liuyun’s eyebrows raised slightly, a hint of a teasing smile on his face, “And if you lose?”

“If I lose.”

Xu Wei’s eyes lit up, and he sent an ambiguous glance toward the two young men, “I’ll treat you to tea and poetry at the Bright Moon Pavilion, listen to music, drink wine, and indulge in the company of beauties.”

“Ahem.”

Lin Jinyun’s handsome face flushed, and he coldly scolded, “Such refined taste, Brother Xu.”

“Hahaha.”

Xu Wei, unashamed and proud, shook his head in satisfaction.

“In this world, the most carefree and joyful thing is to enjoy the sights of flowers and the moon, indulge in elegance and grace. At the Bright Moon Pavilion, there are noble ladies gathered, and who knows, we may have a chance encounter with our destined lover, turning it into a beautiful story…”
