Xia Chujian did not care in the least. "Then tell me the rumors you found out about. Let me see how valuable your achievement is."
Quan Yuxun said, "You don't believe me?"
Xia Chujian said, "What does this have to do with whether I believe you? Fine, I believe the Empress favors you especially. You're her favorite Little Wolfdog, all right?"
Quan Yuxun only felt the veins in his forehead throbbing. Without realizing it, Xia Chujian had led him astray again.
He said unhappily, "I'm older than Your Majesty! How could I be a Little Wolfdog?"
Xia Chujian clicked her tongue. "You really don't know what's good for you. Calling you a Little Wolfdog sounds much better than calling you an Old Wolfdog, doesn't it?"
Quan Yuxun: "..."
The corner of his mouth twitched. "Enough. Stop talking nonsense."
"Since you want to know, I'll explain it to you for free."
Xia Chujian: "..."
Talking to a lawyer was really expensive.
Quan Yuxun could tell at a glance what this little miser was thinking.
He curled his lips. "By ordinary reasoning, there are two possible reasons for this."
"First, the Empress wants to use your current fame to further consolidate her influence and support among the grassroots people. That is very important for stabilizing the Throne she has only just obtained."
"Second, she wants you to carry the sedan chair for someone else."
"Your momentum is at its peak right now. If she doesn't make full use of it, she's no longer a member of the Tantai Clan."
Xia Chujian asked curiously, "What does it mean to carry the sedan chair for someone else? Do you mean literally carrying a sedan chair, or something else?"
Quan Yuxun said, "Simply put, it means becoming someone else's stepping stone to a higher position."
