Capítulo 998: Chapter 998: Bootlicking!

Xue Qian was already stupefied by the situation before him!

He had thought Qin Yi looked familiar, initially figuring he was some royal relative or high-ranking official, but he never expected that His Majesty and the Empress would actually grace Yingtian Academy with their presence! What he found even more surprising was how amiable His Majesty was in conversation, exhibiting not a trace of superiority!

Standing behind Su Ke, tremulous and tense, he speculated about Su Ke's identity.

Although he hadn't joined the government, he had heard plenty about the court from his father and had mulled over the new Emperor's preferences, giving him his own thoughts and perspectives on the current situation.

Su Ke called His Majesty "brother-in-law", which meant Su Ke must be the current Uncle-in-law!

The realization that he had unwittingly befriended the Uncle-in-law of the state made his heart surge with excitement.

It seemed he had inadvertently found himself a shortcut!
