Gu Qingyin took the exam despite her injuries. Although the injuries weren't serious, they still hurt her flesh and blood, and pain was inevitable. She had managed to endure until now entirely thanks to her willpower. Now, if she relaxed even a little, she would feel weak and sore in her legs, and she wouldn't even want to move.
"Are you alright?" Gu Qingyin was about to struggle to get up when she saw Li Jinglan walk to her seat and ask with concern, "What about your foot?"
Gu Qingyin shook her head and stood up. "It's nothing." Before she finished speaking, she swayed.
Li Jinglan looked at her and said, "Don't push yourself. Let me help you."
Gu Qingyin thanked her again, and the two headed towards their bedroom.
Gu Qingyin was surprised to find that Li Jinglan lived in the same courtyard as her, in the south-facing wing room on the east side. Gu Qingyin let her help her to the door, thanked her, and then went into the room to clean her wounds. Although the wounds were all on the skin, they still caused a sharp pain when she walked.
She applied some ointment to her wound, thanks to Ning Feiran's gift to her. She had always carried it with her and never expected it would actually come in handy.
Actually, she had another small, dark blue porcelain bottle in her bag, but for some reason, she didn't use it.
After changing her dressing, she changed into a clean and tidy court dress, tidied her hair and official hat, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and then went out.
Li Jinglan was already waiting for her at the courtyard gate. When the two of them arrived at the dining hall, it was already packed with people.
This time, the seating arrangement did not clearly separate the officers and female officers who were participating in the performance evaluation. Although most of the female officers still sat together, it did not prevent some female officers from sitting among the officers, and some officers from sitting at the table of female officers.
Gu Qingyin and Li Jinglan looked around and saw that the only two empty seats were occupied by a group of officers. They glanced at each other but did not make a move.
"Please, gentlemen, have a seat here," said Qi Yunheng, the Minister of Personnel, a highly respected official.
Qi Yunheng had been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for many years and had always had a good reputation in the court. He belonged to the upright faction and worked with the integrity and competence he had accumulated over the years, which made him convincing to people.
Gu Qingyin paused for a moment, but was still pulled over by Li Jinglan.
Although she had only caught a fleeting glance, she could clearly see who was sitting at the table. Besides the Minister of Personnel and several other officials from the Ministry of Personnel, Wei Lengyao and Ming Xiaohe were also sitting there, with the two empty seats between them.
After thanking Qi Yunheng, Li Jinglan walked over casually and tried to pull out a mahogany armchair next to Wei Lengyao. However, she pulled it twice but the chair wouldn't budge. Just as she was wondering what kind of rare sandalwood it was made of that made it so heavy, she inadvertently looked up and met Wei Lengyao's icy gaze. She couldn't help but shrink back, and knowingly pulled out the chair next to Ming Xiaohe, sitting down with a smile.
With a quick glance, she pulled out the chair next to Wei Lengyao for Gu Qingyin. This time, although she still used some force, the chair was pulled out without any resistance.
Gu Qingyin's smile was a little stiff. She straightened up and sat in the large mahogany armchair, her gaze cautiously falling only on the dishes closest to her.
The two men's seating arrangement did not attract much attention, and soon the conversation among the men resumed.
Li Jinglan was probably really hungry. She devoured everything in a flash, completely forgetting where she was. Gu Qingyin was injured and had Wei Lengyao sitting next to her. Although he was talking to officials from the Ministry of Personnel and seemed completely oblivious to her, she usually ate very little at such a banquet. She only picked up a couple of bites of vegetables and then stopped eating.
"Lord Gu, please eat more. This Crispy Duck with Egg White is quite delicious. You should try it." Ming Xiaohe smiled gently on his handsome face, his beautiful eyes half-closed, and he picked up a piece of duck meat with his chopsticks and put it into Gu Qingyin's bowl.
Gu Qingyin was taken aback. She looked up at Ming Xiaohe, then at the duck meat in the bowl, but didn't know where to start eating.
The officials from the Ministry of Personnel and Wei Lengyao, who had been preoccupied with discussing state affairs, all turned to look at Ming Xiaohe and Gu Qingyin, their expressions shifting several times.
The officials of the Ministry of Personnel were well aware of the situation of the female officials in the court. Qi Yunheng had already sorted out who used their beauty to curry favor, who had real skills, and who could truly stand alone and achieve political success. However, at this time of performance evaluation, no matter how unrestrained these officials were in private, they all maintained a dignified and secretive demeanor on the surface.
