“No need, my parents are waiting for me to go back for something.

I'll see you next time."

The Sixth Princess had originally thought that maybe she could have dinner at the same table with him in the evening, but when she heard that he would not eat here, she felt disappointed.

But then she heard him say that she would come to see her another day. Was that what she meant?

The Sixth Princess' heart was pounding, and by the time she came to her senses, Qin Sixi had already left the courtyard.

Seeing that everyone had walked a long way away, the Sixth Princess patted her face in regret, "I was such a coward, such a coward!"

*

At the morning court session that day, some ministers were supposed to present reports, while others were not. The emperor, however, asked Xiao Anzi to announce an imperial decree.

Xiao Anzi took a scroll of imperial edict and read it aloud in front of all the civil and military officials.

The ministers did not hear clearly the rest of the content, such as the praises on how virtuous the Sixth Princess was, and how talented and brilliant Qin Tanhua was, etc. Anyway, the two were a perfect match made in heaven, so they were granted a marriage and an auspicious day was chosen for the wedding.

The wedding date will be chosen by the Qin family together with the Imperial Observatory.

All the ministers were thinking that since they had lost their prime minister son-in-law, no one else could hope for one either. But this time, he became the emperor's brother-in-law.

Some people thought more deeply that the emperor just couldn't stand one family dominating the world. Princess Xiaoyao had just been conferred the title of the Lady of the State, and the princess's second brother was an imperial envoy. He was very good at managing the disaster victims in the south, so he might be promoted when he returned.

That's why they all looked at Qin Tanhua eagerly, hoping to make him their son-in-law or brother-in-law. As long as they could establish a relationship, they would not have to worry about anything in the future.

But now?

Well, in the eyes of all the adults, the emperor's favorite person has become a son-in-law, which means that they don't want him to take power and don't want the Qin family to be too powerful.

Some people think they have seen through the essence of things and are secretly gloating in their hearts.

Many people are waiting to see Qin Tanhua panic, or have a look of loneliness, reluctance and other negative emotions, or even think that he might not accept the order and disobey it, which would be even more interesting.

But what no one expected was that Qin Tanhua was actually full of joy and knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace with many thanks.

The sincere expression of gratitude on his face didn't seem fake.

Many people are speculating, could it be that Qin Tanhua is actually a love-brained person?

For the sake of beauty, would you give up even your own great ambitions?

There are many people who think this way, and they feel fortunate that their daughter did not marry such a man. Otherwise, if she was sentimental all day long, she would not be able to achieve anything great and would be ridiculed in the end.

Luckily fortunately!

But as these people thought about it, they all felt that their thinking was a bit too narrow.

Just look at how hard Qin Tanhua has been working these past two days, and how much he is valued by the emperor!

Maybe that's not the case.

But no matter what, Qin Tanhua is now married to the princess, so there is no need to talk about his future.

Some people sympathized with him.

However, the following period of time made these ministers even more confused about the emperor's intentions.

Doesn’t this Qin Tanhua want Princess Shang to become her husband’s princess?

Why does the emperor still value him so much?

In just one month, Qin Tanhua was promoted twice.

But Qin Tanhua is capable, and they also feel that it is a waste of his talent to let him be a small editor.

Everyone also thought that maybe the emperor wanted the son-in-law to have a higher status, otherwise he would not be suitable for the princess's son-in-law, so it was probably like this.

Such speculations have not yet ended. As the New Year is approaching, Qin's Erlang finally returns.

They were so worried all day long that they couldn't sleep at night. But the Qin family themselves were happy and cheerful the whole day long, and the celebration was very lively.

Qin Erlu returned with great merit.

Because he went quickly and brought food with him, he was able to stabilize the refugees in time and many people were prevented from dying.

He also successfully controlled the plague. No matter who gave the prescription for treating the plague, no one could have done as well as he did.

There is one most important thing. After they arrived, they dealt with all the corrupt officials in the south. Some were beheaded, some were arrested, and their properties were confiscated. The national treasury was filled a lot more. You can see that the emperor is in a good mood these days.

In short, the south is now under the emperor's nose, and there won't be any trouble. It's all thanks to Erlang of the Qin family.

So when Erlang of the Qin family came back, the emperor almost went to the city gate to pick him up in person.

The ministers were so jealous when they saw this!

Although Qin Jia Silang did not achieve anything significant after marrying the princess.

But Qin Jia Erlang's momentum is steadily rising.

The emperor did not disappoint the ministers' speculation about him and directly appointed Qin Erlang to the civil post of Left Censor of the Censorate, an official position of the third rank.

The third rank officials are more powerful than other second rank officials, because with them around, even if they are first rank officials, if there is any misconduct, the Inspector General is qualified to supervise and report directly to the emperor.

Basically, one has to look at his face and be careful not to be caught by him, and even has to flatter Yu Qin Erlang in order to avoid being caught.

But no one dared to object. The emperor was becoming more and more rebellious, and would ask people to retire and return home if he was unhappy.

After all, Qin Erlang did a great job on this mission, and everyone was convinced.

But because Qin Erlang did his job well, he began to travel all over the country for the emperor. He was away from home for at least eleven months a year, because he was always working as an imperial envoy to fill the emperor's treasury.

The emperor chose him because he is a capable fighter, smart, daring and capable.

The mission to the south was originally a test for him, and it turned out that he was the most suitable person, so the position of imperial envoy belonged to him. This is a story for later.

(The imperial commissioner = the governor, this official position is used when going on business trips to inspect. There is no such actual position in the court, and it is usually held by officials of the third rank or above.)

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the wedding date of Qin Sixi and the Sixth Princess has been set. It will be on the 16th day of the first lunar month next year, which is an extremely auspicious day.

The New Year is coming, and no matter how poor the family is, they want to buy a new piece of clothing for everyone in the family, let alone the Qin family.

Qin Zhongyue's belly was unusually big, and it was inconvenient for her to go out now. She was due to give birth in more than a month, and she didn't dare to go out for a stroll, so she stayed in the palace and didn't go anywhere.

She was not idle in the mansion either, leading the maids and servants to make beauties and things that would be used in class. But now she basically did not do anything herself, she just let the maids do the last step of making the finished product, and then she would add the system potion.
