He was almost driven to death by his own sister's stupidity, and it was even more impossible for him to defend his sister in front of those people, just as if he didn't know her at all.

His sister also saw her brother and wanted him to say a few words for her, but when her brother winked at her vigorously, he took the lead and drove the group of noble ladies out of the alley.

These noble ladies were completely humiliated, but no one dared to say a word.

At this time, the person who had been driven away suddenly remembered something and his face turned pale.

"It is said that Qin Tanhua seems to be Princess Xiaoyao's brother."

As soon as this girl said this, the other girls also reacted.

"Ahhh—what should I do?

Will the princess go to her parents' house and tell them about our behavior today?

It’s so embarrassing!”

They actually acted like shrews in front of their sister-in-law and might even have cursed the princess.

My sister-in-law saw everything clearly. It was really embarrassing.

I was so focused on looking at Qin Tanhua just now that I didn’t notice the person behind him!

Princess Xiaoyao was so despicable that she actually stood behind them and eavesdropped.

Of course, these people didn't dare to say these words out loud, for fear that they would be heard and suffer the consequences.

Qin Zhongyue didn't know nor did he care what these people talked about in private after they were driven away.

"Sister-in-law, why did you stop me just now?

I just want to let those people know who I am and ask Mammy to slap them in the face for being so presumptuous!"

The Sixth Princess was really furious.

"Xiao Liu, you have to know one thing: don't argue with a fool.

Otherwise, what's the difference between you and a fool? "

After Qin Zhongyue said this, the Sixth Princess thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Indeed, I almost became a fool.

"Luckily my sister-in-law saved me. Next time, if someone dares to act so presumptuously in front of me, I will do what my sister-in-law did today and have my servants take him out!"

Qin Zhongyue: That’s not what I meant…

But she didn't say it out loud, which actually showed off the princess's generosity and made her a role model for everyone.

A truly respectable person would never bother to argue with others.

Qin Zhongyue asked Du Juan beside him, "Did you remember all the names?"

"I've got it all down, princess."

Dujuan took out a small notebook filled with names. Upon closer inspection, they were all girls' names.

Qin Zhongyue glanced and nodded, she didn't know who was who.

"Let someone find out more about it, and then send these lists back to the Qin family immediately. Let the parents take a good look at them. If these girls come to propose marriage, they won't be accepted."

"Yes."

It turned out that when those people were chattering and talking without thinking, Qin Zhongyue asked Dujuan to watch and remember them.

Of course it is impossible for Du Juan to know everyone, but aren’t there people who know each other?

Just ask this one and that one, and you will know.

When she inquired, she deliberately asked to add fuel to the fire.

For example: Who is this?

So shameless?

When people who knew the person heard this, they immediately became excited. They also felt that they were no match for themselves and that they were competing with them for the title of Qin Tanhua. They wanted to dig up every detail of the other person's ancestors and what they had done.

So it was easy for Dujuan to find out.

Dujuan immediately called the servant to take the list back to the Qin family.

The Qin family had just sent away the twenty or so matchmakers, and when they saw the servants from the palace coming over, they knew that something must be wrong with their daughter.

"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Madam! The Fourth Master has won the Third Place in the Imperial Examination and is being paraded through the streets by the Emperor himself.

It should be here soon."

"Really, that's great, we can see the Holy Face!

Oh, this needs to be recorded in the family tree!

Even if I go down, I can brag to my ancestors, hahahaha!"

Qin Renshan thought about the highlights of his life, and it was quite brilliant.

I could go down and play it for three days and three nights for my ancestors and still not be able to finish.

"You fool, what nonsense are you talking about on such a happy day!

I am not afraid of being laughed at by the servants."

After hearing what Qin Renshan said, Jiang patted him lightly, reminding him to be more dignified in front of the servants.

"Hehe, it was my husband who said the wrong thing."

Qin Renshan immediately admitted his mistake, "It was your princess who asked you to come, right?"

"Yes, Master and Madam, this is the list that the Princess sent over."

"What list? What's it for?"

Jiang took it and looked at it. Qin Renshan also leaned over to take a look. Seeing that they were all names, and they were girls' names, he became confused.

"The princess said that she has seen these girls and their behavior is very bad. Please remember this clearly. If anyone from these families comes to ask for marriage, you must not agree."

The servant replied respectfully.

"Okay, I'll take it. Go back and thank your princess for me. It's really thoughtful of you."

"Yes, I will go back and report right away."

"Slow down."

Qin Renshan asked the servant beside him to give the servant from the palace an ingot of silver as a reward.

"Yue'er is such a smart girl. She couldn't rest even with a big belly. She even found a list for us. I was just worried that if the fourth child asked us to find someone for him, we wouldn't know who to find.

I don’t even know which family is good and which is bad, and I’m afraid I might end up finding him a bad one.”

"This is a simple matter. Just spend some money and ask the servants to go out and inquire, and ask the maids to go out and inquire more.

Those in the streets and alleys who have suitable girls and come to propose marriage, you can also go and ask around.

You definitely can’t marry someone who is not good. You must marry a virtuous wife, even if she is illiterate. Otherwise, she will be a troublemaker in the family, and you will never have a peaceful life. That is a disaster.”

The couple discussed it while waiting for their son to be paraded through the streets after being beaten and scolded so that they could take a look at him.

There are too many people on the street now. I wanted to go out to see, but I was afraid that I would be squeezed and couldn’t find it, and would miss my son passing by the door.

Thinking that his son couldn't escape anyway, he simply waited at the door of his house.

Of all the new Jinshi this year, except for a small number of sons of noble families who passed the exam on their own, the majority will be loyal to the new emperor.

This means that the emperor will soon have a large number of people who truly belong to him.

Most of the ministers left over from the previous dynasty were loyal to the late emperor. There were also a few factions, and even the remnants of the third prince's party, who were ready to make moves from time to time.

With these new fresh bloods, we can slowly replace those disloyal ones.

So the emperor was very happy, which is why he personally took these newly-crowned Jinshi scholars to tour the capital. He also wanted these newly-crowned Jinshi scholars to feel that the emperor valued them.

After swimming three laps, the emperor was about to lead these scholars back to the palace. The young eunuch in the palace ran to the emperor with sweat all over his forehead. However, he could not go up to him directly under the current circumstances. He whispered a few words to eunuch Xiao Anzi first. Eunuch Xiao Anzi's face changed drastically, and he hurried to the emperor's guard of honor and whispered a few words as well.

The scholars who were originally going to go to the palace for the banquet saw the emperor say a few words to the ministers and then return to the palace first.

"The Emperor has important matters in the palace, please follow him."
