"Congratulations, Marquis Ye, felicitations to Marquis Ye!" A group of people stopped him after the court session, with continuous congratulations echoing around.
Assistant Minister Lan and others also ca over. At this mont, they looked at Ye Zi’an with extre displeasure, and their congratulations sounded stiff.
Humph, this Ye Zi’an is so petty. Even knowing which prince the Emperor favors, he wouldn’t tell them. As a result, he alone reaped the benefits.
Originally, being a marquis and working in the Ministry of Revenue was acceptable, but now he even received the title of Imperial Tutor to the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, he will be the Imperial Tutor, a person even the Emperor has to respect. How glorious!
"Many thanks!" Ye Zi’an cupped his hands in response.
"I say, Lord Marquis, we are at least colleagues, can you teach us a bit on how to get promoted every year?" Assistant Minister Lan asked sourly.
"Indeed, Lord Marquis, give us so guidance."
"... ..."
Looking at everyone, they were almost turning green with envy. How could they not be envious? In other courts, a title like Imperial Tutor is rely titular, but not here; it’s a genuine position responsible for the Crown Prince’s education.
Ye Zi’an helplessly said, "Work more, talk less!"
Leaving a six-word maxim, Ye Zi’an was the first to walk away.
"Is it really that simple?" Assistant Minister Lan asked in disbelief.
Another minister said, "He only left us those few words."
As Prince Qing’s heir passed by, he laughed and shook his head at the words, "Look at you, truly foolish. Always knowing how to envy others but never think about what they have sacrificed? Do you think Ye Zi’an can be appointed to teach the Crown Prince rely by the Emperor’s trust?"
"Then what is it?" soone asked.
"Humph, where were you when Ye Zi’an was confiscating properties in Jiangnan? When he pursued fugitives in Liangchuan leading to Prince An’s kidnapping, where were you? Where were you when he eradicated traitors in Xining? During the court coup, where were you when the Second Young Master of the Ye Family was held by Prince Le, and vanished for a year? Stop only seeing the benefits others received and not their sacrifices."
"Put aside your jealousy and work well for the people, the Emperor will naturally not let you down."
The group, reprimanded by Prince Qing’s heir, bowed their heads, feeling deeply ashad.
However, upon hearing the appointnt of Ye Zi’an as Imperial Tutor to the Crown Prince, the Eldest Imperial Prince was extrely pleased.
"Mother Empress, I said Father Emperor wouldn’t neglect his son,"
The Eldest Imperial Prince excitedly held onto the Empress, "Father Emperor has made the Crown Prince and appointed Marquis Changning as my teacher. This shows Father Emperor’s emphasis and trust in ."
"Indeed!" the Empress said with tears, "Marquis Changning’s knowledge and character are sufficient to guide you. Moreover, your Father Emperor appointing him as your teacher ans he’s personally brought him to support you. My son, you must study well in the future, be filial to your Father Emperor, and don’t disappoint his heartfelt intentions."
"I understand, Mother Empress."
Compared to the warmth and joy in the Empress’s palace, other palaces occasionally had the sound of shattering bowls and cups being swept away.
"I always said Brother An has potential," When the news reached Prince An’s Mansion, Ms.Wang laughed broadly, constantly praising Ye Zi’an, "How impressive, the Crown Prince’s teacher! I’ll go light incense to thank Buddha for blessing Brother An to succeed in his official career."
"Grandmother, my talented father’s official position is due to his capabilities, what does it have to do with Buddha?" Yangyang asked in confusion.
"Silly child," Ms.Wang patted him, "Don’t be disrespectful to Buddha, understand?"
