Chapter 12: Why is He, Dominating the Empress's Favour Alone?

On the other hand, I especially allow you to attend the lectures in the court every day!"

The official trembled again and turned his head towards Lion.

If before it was just admiration mixed with envy and hatred, this time it was absolute, crazy admiration!

One must know, what is the court assembly.

It is the centre of power in the country!

Officials gather, discuss the great affairs of the country, and decide the fate of the country's prosperity and decline!

Normally, only high-ranking officials of the third rank or above have the opportunity to come here regularly. Lower-ranking officials can only have the opportunity to come here if they are summoned by the emperor himself.

Being able to enter the imperial court and listen to lectures once is a great honour, and whatever a small official says to you is a great favour.

In these past two days, Lion was able to enter the court multiple times because of special circumstances, which was already a great and special honour.

Moreover, listening to lectures in the imperial court not only grants a great honour but also rare privileges.

Because the country's important affairs all come from here.

By waiting here, you will be closer to the centre of power.

In the future, whatever policies are announced from here, you will be the first to know.

Furthermore, the Great Martial Imperial Court is right here.

You can often appear in front of the emperor, express your opinions, and influence national policies.

With good performance, you can also receive the emperor's favour and be promoted to higher ranks.

There are really many good things here.

Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads in admiration. What kind of luck does Lion have to monopolize the favour of the Empress?

In just two days, he was promoted by half a rank and obtained such a huge achievement. He also has the special privilege of being able to enter the imperial court to listen to lectures every day...

This is really like winning the lottery!

At this moment, Lion was also extremely surprised. He did not expect that the Empress would "favour" him so much and even give him a little pampering.

Did he not do anything significant and just take over a house?

Would the other party not think highly of him?

Lion couldn't help but touch his face. Suddenly, a face appeared above him that was more handsome than any other. He was as beautiful as a jade, with 10 parts of handsomeness, and Lion nodded in agreement.

Yes, it is possible!

The Empress really values him!

The Empress exceeds his imagination!

Escaping from the imperial palace, she is just an ordinary woman, but naturally, she will be swayed by my beauty!

Sometimes being too beautiful is like activating a cheat code in life, unstoppable!

Seeing Lion's terrified appearance, the Empress was extremely satisfied.

I will now lavish you with my favourite, think of every way to please you, promote you, and let you experience what is called the overwhelming grace of the emperor and the imperial palace. Then, devote yourself completely to my service!

"Lion, my Dear, I hope you don't disappoint me!" The Empress encouraged him with a gentle smile.

"I will serve with unwavering loyalty, even if it means sacrificing my life!" Lion clasped his hands together and declared resolutely.

"Good!" The Empress laughed heartily. "Do any of you have any objections, my beloved officials?"

The officials looked at each other, but what objections could they have?

It was clear that the Empress wanted to promote the new official Lion, but they were unsure of the risks involved!

After all, he was just a minor official, not significant enough to make a difference. Let him have it, it won't affect the overall situation!

"Your Majesty is wise!" The officials spoke up.

"Good! Considering Lion's recent promotion to middle-ranking official and yesterday's promotion, he may have other duties to attend to. Therefore, I will allow you to adjust your schedule for a few days! In three days, you will go to the Imperial Academy to take up your post!" The Empress smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lion said loudly and enthusiastically.

After the court session ended, Lion ran back.

On the second day, he changed out of his official robes and put on a simple, clean white robe. He looked like a young gentleman full of excitement as he walked out to take a stroll around the city.

Since he arrived in this world and activated the examination system, he had been studying day and night without much rest. Now that he was at the middle school level and had activated the system, he felt more relaxed and wanted to take advantage of the past three days to take a walk around the capital and relax.

The capital was the centre of the Great Material Dynasty with a dense population and a bustling atmosphere. The streets were crowded with people and horses, and the shops were full of people. The sound of vendors selling their wares was endless, filling the streets with a lively atmosphere.

However, amidst all this noise and activity, the most popular topic of discussion was a love affair.

Lion pricked up his ears and walked into the alleys, where a group of people were discussing a topic with great excitement.

Inside, an old man in ragged clothes was talking excitedly, spitting as he spoke: "The Night soldier is really a good person! He showed off his skills again last night, and how much did I make? Haha, I made eight pieces of silver, enough to improve my life!"

"Exactly, The night soldier is a good person! I was in need of money for medicine and treatment, but this morning when I woke up, I found a pile of gold nuggets at the head of my bed. My medical expenses are now taken care of. Thank you! Ha ha!"

"I hope there are more kind people like this in the world!"

"What do you mean by a kind person? I think he is not just an ordinary person, but a living Bodhisattva! How else could he have such a compassionate heart?"

"Absolutely, he is a living Bodhisattva! Living Bodhisattva!"

...

Lion was overjoyed to hear them mention "The night soldier" as he knew they were talking about him.

"I've worked so hard for the imperial exams, and I've criticized them so much, but now I feel it's all worth it!"
