Yan Zhigao tightly gripped his appointment document and the official seal in his hand. He was so excited that his hands trembled a little, and it was only when he returned to the post station that his mood finally settled down a bit.
"Congratulations, my lord!"
Advisor Xiao stood at the courtyard gate. As soon as he saw Yan Zhigao, he cupped his hands and offered his congratulations.
Yan Zhigao had been tense outside, but now, back on his own turf, he could no longer suppress the joy welling up inside. The corners of his mouth kept turning up. "Has Master already heard the news?"
Advisor Xiao nodded with a smile. "Brother Shounian still knows a few people in the Governor's Office. Early this morning, someone came to inform us, saying that you might soon be promoted. Now seeing your cheerful complexion, it must be done."
The joy on Yan Zhigao's face could not be concealed as he said with a smile, "Come, let's talk inside."
