"Miss, Miss, please wake up. Master is back." Nangong Waner managed to recover her composure with this sleep of hers, sleeping from the morning until the afternoon. After sleeping for four hours, he had yet to have a single bite of lunch.

Ju Xiang thought that Nangong Waner might have gotten up early to become stronger, so he didn't wake up to call for her.

However, Nangong Waner did not get up even after the Lord Assistant Minister returned to his residence. Ju Xiang thought that if Nangong Waner wanted to follow him to send off the festivals, he had to join in the fun. When the Lord Assistant Minister returned to his residence, Ju Xiang rushed into Nangong Waner's room to call for help.

"Ah, Ju Xiang, what's wrong?" Nangong Waner was startled awake after being called a few times by Ju Xiang, and slowly sat up.

"Miss, the old master is back. Didn't you want to take a look?" Ju Xiang softly said to Nangong Waner.

Nangong Waner still could not react in time, "Where did the old master come from?" She looked a little dazed as she asked Ju Xiang.

Ju Xiang patiently reminded her, "Miss, didn't you go to the dining room to look for Lord Assistant Minister this morning? Lord Assistant Minister went to Prince Zhan's Mansion in the morning to deliver the festival gift, you did not go with me, aren't you disappointed? "Master must be heading to the Liu Estate to deliver the festival gift. Clean it up quickly and come with me to join in the fun."

Nangong Waner scratched her head, which was already messy from sleep, and said, "That's true, I had something I wanted to ask my father." After putting on some clothes, he left the courtyard to search for the Lord Assistant Minister.

Lord Assistant Minister was indeed very busy today, and there were some relationships that needed to be moved around privately. Since she had just stepped into the Assistant Minister this year, she also needed to strike up a relationship with the Department of Public Affairs.

On the surface, Prince Zhan was still the Senior Minister of the Department of Public Administration, and privately, he had also owed her a lot of favors.

Assistant Minister’s Residence was not rich after all, and could be considered to have sincerely obtained some local specialties from Jin Cheng, a bag of rice, a bag of winter dates, and some pork and vegetables.

When the Duke Palace's butler saw that it was the Lord Assistant Minister s of the Department of Public Affairs, logically speaking, the rank of the Duke Palace's butler should not be too low, but when he saw the Lord Assistant Minister, he was exceptionally respectful and courteous. The Lord Assistant Minister truly repeatedly praised the warm hospitality of the Prince Zhan's Mansion.

After all, it was in the middle of winter, so it was indeed a little cold when Lord Assistant Minister walked over. Or perhaps it was because the Duke Palace's butler was really warm and hospitable, so the Lord Assistant Minister followed the Duke Palace's butler around the hall.

"Prince went to the palace early in the morning. According to the past years, and the thirty days of the new year, prince will always stay with the empress dowager to keep watch over the years." The butler of the Duke Palace poured hot tea for the Lord Assistant Minister, and then explained in a somewhat slow and leisurely manner.

Wen Guang had always lived in the palace and followed the army for many years, always getting up early in the morning to teach them a lesson. When he saw that the butler of the mansion led the Lord Assistant Minister and was even very respectful, Wen Guang naturally did not recognize the Lord Assistant Minister and followed along curiously.

"This is?" When Wen Guang entered the living room, Lord Assistant Minister was sitting straight up drinking hot tea. Wen Guang studied the tea for a moment, but could not find anything special.

"This is the Lord Assistant Minister of the Department, who came today to deliver the Prince's wedding gift. The Prince entered the palace very early in the morning, and the cold wind blew. I invite the Lord Assistant Minister to enter the Prince's Mansion for a cup of hot tea." the Duke Palace's butler said while smiling at Wen Guang.

Wen Guang thought, the Assistant Minister in the Government Office was indeed a low-ranked official …

No, that's not right, isn't Nangong Waner the eldest daughter of Lord Assistant Minister in the Department of Public Relations? Doesn't that mean that this person …

"I have heard great things about you, my apologies. So you are a Lord Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Government, I am Wen Guang, and have been stationed at the border with the army for many years. I was appointed as a strategist in the army of the Prince Zhan." Wen Guang immediately became more refined and polite. Previously, he was bare-chested and only had on a casual shirt. Right now he was buttoning up his shirt in a flurry and tidying it up.

Lord Assistant Minister had previously seen a young man practicing martial arts bare-chested in the cold winter months, and judging from his figure, his firm chest was definitely not that of an ordinary person. After hearing the introductions, he realized that he was the advisor in the army of Prince Zhan, so wasn't that the son of Old General Wen? The more he looked, the more satisfied Lord Assistant Minister was. He was really unable to climb up the high branches of the Xiao Residence, Old General Wen should not be that kind of ordinary person.

Thinking about that, Lord Assistant Minister revealed a kind smile, looking at Wen Guang, he also seemed to have some enthusiasm, he even went forward to shake Wen Guang's hand, "So it's Military Advisor Wen, it's really better to see than hear, Military Advisor Wen is truly a genius on the surface."

Wen Guang was not back at Shangjing city for a long time, he was cooped up in his own room, with no connections at all. I heard that Assistant Minister’s Residence has a joyous matter to attend to, so I hope that you could give me an invitation to join in the fun.

Lord Assistant Minister did not manage to react, "A happy occasion? What's the good news? "

"I heard that Assistant Minister’s Residence and Xiao Residence are going to become relatives soon, and the date has already been set. Wen Guang thinks that it should be about time to go to Spring Festival."

When Lord Assistant Minister heard this, his face paled, as if he was embarrassed to the point of not being able to reply. It's all just rumors, the Assistant Minister’s Residence and the Xiao Residence aren't really close, and it's impossible to even talk about becoming relatives. I actually heard that Lord Xiao intended to become relatives with Sir Sun from the Supreme Court. "

"Oh? "Yeah, looks like the rumors are really scary." Wen Guang laughed, his laugh had a deeper meaning.

The Lord Assistant Minister still had things to do, so the Duke Palaces didn't stay for long. After sitting for a while, they stood up and bid their farewells to the Duke Palaces.

In the afternoon, Lord Assistant Minister was mostly busy. Since the Liu Estate had paid their respects to him for sending him off, he rushed back to Assistant Minister’s Residence in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the room and had yet to have a sip of hot tea, Nangong Wan'er chased after him like a mad woman. When the assistant minister saw Nangong Wan'er's disguise, he couldn't help but feel that she was not the daughter he had seen at the royal banquet a few days ago.

Then, he looked at Nangong Waner's messy hair which was not recognizable at all, and he was dressed in a long and loose robe. Lord Assistant Minister did not see the deity girl who had descended to the mortal realm in the morning, but he did see the devil's makeup on earth in the afternoon.

Lord Assistant Minister shut his eyes in disgust, "Look at you, what do you think?!" Lord Assistant Minister thought, if this does not work, then he better not climb onto Old General Wen's relatives.

Madam Yang had never seen Wen Guang's appearance before, so he was not clear about the thoughts and actions of Lord Assistant Minister. He could only see that Lord Assistant Minister looked at him with eyes closed as if he despised Nangong Waner and was a bit troubled and pained, "Old master, quickly drink a mouthful of hot tea and go feel the cold air around you."

Madam Yang poured a cup of hot tea for the Lord Assistant Minister and passed it over. Then, he looked up with a pampered expression and asked Nangong Waner, "Did you come to find your father for something?"

Nangong Waner naturally had something to ask the Lord Assistant Minister, so he asked the Lord Assistant Minister with a smile on his face, "Father, did you go to the Prince Zhan's Mansion in the morning to give him a Boxing Ceremony?"

"I did, but I didn't see Prince Zhan. The steward of the Duke Palace said that he was going to the palace to accompany the empress dowager on the thirtieth day of the year of the Prince Zhan, according to the tradition of the past, to keep watch over the years with the empress dowager."

When Nangong Waner heard this, he was very disappointed. Without even greeting anyone, he turned around and quickly walked away.

Lord Assistant Minister was completely confused as he looked at Madam Yang in confusion, "Is Wan Er that girl … It's happening again?! "
