After the change of monarchy and the ascension of the new emperor, the most eye-catching family would have to be the Zhaojia family.

The Minister of War, Malhan, only realized belatedly that his identity had changed after he had finished preparing for the army's expedition.

Originally, at the previous annual banquet, his daughter was favored by the emperor and was granted marriage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which was already a great joyous event. However, less than a few months later, the emperor suddenly abdicated and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne directly, and his daughter became the future queen overnight.

This, this, this ... ... Why don’t we go and see if there’s any smoke coming out of our ancestral graves?

Malhan was both happy and panicked. Their Zhaojia clan was truly struck by overwhelming wealth.

After all, although the Crown Princess could eventually become the Empress if everything went well, the promotion from Crown Princess was naturally different from the Empress who was formally welcomed into the Imperial Palace through the Daqing Gate.

To say something extremely outrageous, among the three empresses of the retired emperor, only Empress Yuan was formally welcomed into the palace through the Daqing Gate, and her status was extremely honorable.

Malhan was happy but also worried. He had the wealth in his hands, but he might not be able to keep it. This was still a problem.

After all, their Zhaojia clan is just a branch of the Plain White Banner. Although it belongs to the top three of the Eight Banners, there are still the Bordered Yellow Banner and the Plain Yellow Banner ahead of them. The position of the mother of this country is watched by many people. If she really uses some tricks, I am afraid it will be hard to defend against.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his daughter's future would be difficult, and Malhan's face was filled with worry.

It would be nice if the new emperor could marry before or after he came of age like other princes and dukes...

Yes! When did getting married around the age of 16 become a common practice?

Malhan suddenly woke up and realized as if he had been enlightened. There was no clear rule that stated that a man could only get married before he came of age!

It was just the princes of their dynasty who all waited until they were about 20 years old to get married and start a family. Even the royal nobles and the descendants of the Eight Banners followed suit, and gradually it seemed as if it was normal for everyone to get married at this age.

But in fact, there are no explicit regulations or mandatory requirements for such things!

Malhan suddenly fell into deep thought again. This development trend, in addition to the influence of top-down influence, is also due to the universalization of education, right?

Because everyone, regardless of gender, age or status, could attend academies and take the imperial examinations, those who were interested did not want to be burdened by marriage, while those who were not interested just went with the flow. Gradually, the situation evolved into what it is today, where everyone tacitly agrees to marry and have children later.

Malhan sighed deeply, he thought of his young daughter who was also studying in the girls' school. Although her identity as the future queen meant that she could not take the imperial examinations with her classmates, she would have plenty of opportunities to display her talents when she became the mother of a country in the future. However, she would still have to stay in the harem more often.

Therefore, instead of letting his daughter enter the palace early because of some possible speculations, he would rather think of more ways to protect his daughter so that she can enjoy the free time before getting married.

Thinking of this, Malhan has made a decision.

Not only did he have to keep an eye on those aristocratic families whose minds were wavering, he also had to find opportunities to communicate with the emperor.

If the emperor is difficult to communicate with, he can spend more time with Prince Yong. There are plenty of ways to go anyway!

Forbidden City, Hall of Mental Cultivation

"Ah!"

Yinxiang, who was drafting an imperial edict, suddenly sneezed, looked up in confusion, and muttered in confusion, "Who is scolding me behind my back again?!"

Yinreng, who was standing in front of him, saw this and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Maybe it was Khan Ama who was assigned a task by you. He has retired but still has to work. I have to scold you, right?"

Yinreng came to report to Yinxiang on matters related to establishing diplomatic relations with foreign countries. He was serious about the business, but it did not stop him from taking some time to laugh at Yinxiang's jokes.

"How dare you say that, second brother? Obviously you also contributed to the bad idea!"

Yinxiang glared at Yinreng, and his mouth full of swear words condensed into an eye roll, which made Yinreng unable to help laughing.

"So what? Khan Ama doesn't know I'm doing something behind your back."

Spreading his hands and shrugging his shoulders, Yinreng didn't care at all.

Anyway, the task was arranged by the Thirteenth Brother, so if Khan Ama wants to scold someone, it should be the Thirteenth Brother. It has nothing to do with him.

"I will have Fulai send a pigeon to Changchun Garden to tell Khan Ama that it was you who was behind this!"

He spoke with gritted teeth, and Yinxiang wrote with much more force.

Damn second brother, he just loves to make him angry. Just wait, after the eldest brother returns triumphantly, he will go on a tour with a group of brothers, and let the second brother and Khan Ama govern the country!

Yinxiang was muttering to himself while his abacus was clattering.

Yinreng on the opposite side looked at him dimly, with a slight twitch of his lips, looking somewhat amused and helpless.

How come this Thirteenth Brother has become even more childish after becoming the emperor? Even when he is saying bad things in his heart and making bad plans, doesn't he know how to restrain his expression?

With this cunning look, even a blind person can guess what he is thinking!

"Hey, hey, hey, please stop it. I feel like you're about to say what's on your mind." Knocking on the table helplessly, Yinreng couldn't help but cover his face.

So, it’s really not that he doesn’t want to abide by the rules between the monarch and his subjects, it’s mainly because his Thirteenth Brother’s performance is really disgusting!

" ... ... Well, well, second brother, there's a saying that goes 'see through but don't speak out', at least you know it in your heart, don't say it out loud!"

Yinxiang was a little embarrassed when his performance was criticized, but he forced himself to control his stiff expression.

It doesn't matter. It's not been a year or two since his second brother has been tearing him down. He's used to it.

Really, I'm used to it!

"Okay, quickly draft the imperial edict. I'm going to go back and deal with some follow-up matters, and then I can rest."

In order to save face for his thirteenth brother, Yinreng stopped complaining and started to urge him to issue the imperial edict, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to go back."

If we keep dragging our feet, it will be dark soon.

"I know, I know. Don't rush me."

Urged by him, Yinxiang continued to draft the edict very obediently. After he stamped the imperial seal, he frowned and said, "No, why are you urging me? You are not as efficient as me!"

As an emperor, Yinxiang realized belatedly that he seemed to have not only inherited Khan Ama's throne, but also inherited Khan Ama's position at the bottom of the food chain. This scene of being urged to draft an edict was once exclusive to Khan Ama!

——Although he was also a member of the Khan Ama before.

But that's not important!

The important thing is, "Second brother, those who are capable should do more work. After you finish your work at the Lifanyuan, go to the Ministry of Personnel. Come on, I'm rooting for you!"
