Ren Ge didn't expect the Emperor would inquire about this matter. How could a Sixth Rank position be worth the Emperor's attention?
As for whom it's reserved, there's no need to guess; the answer is obvious. Recently, whoever is most favored by the Emperor, that's who it will be!
Unexpectedly, Gu Chengyu has been in the Hanlin Academy for such a short time and he's about to be promoted to Standard Sixth Rank? But he was not convinced—why should Gu Chengyu cut him off halfway?
He's been diligent at the Hanlin Academy for over three years. Although his qualifications aren't as senior as those veteran Hanlins, he considers himself far more capable than them.
Moreover, he's always been meticulous, never slacking in his duties for over three years. Any task given by Shangguan, he's completed without fail.
All his energy was drained, and he leaned against the desk, his eyes became vacant.
