Taking Yang Shao's path was already quite a deviant move.
However, it wasn't that Xie Xian couldn't understand.
Although Yang Shao was engaged to the Second Lady of the Xiao Family, Second Master Xiao was chased out of the Xiao Family by Sikong Xiao. The future son-in-law and son-in-law were not very happy. Other than Yuan Zheng's visit, the two families did not interact.
Second Lady Xiao took the initiative to throw herself into his arms and even caused a ruckus in front of Emperor Yu Heng. As a result, Emperor Yu Heng's impression of her was not good. He and Pan Shuo tried their best to recommend her, but they were unable to move her. It was almost conceivable that it would be difficult for Yang Shao to advance even an inch in the future.
Anyone around the Emperor could be promoted, only Yang Shao had no hope. This was the weakest link.
