The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

With some thoughts in mind, the prime minister did not stay any longer and left with a sigh.

Upon seeing this, Prince Jin also walked down the steps and prepared to leave, but saw Yan Qi turned around and went back to the imperial study.

Emperor Hui had just solved a problem and was very happy at the moment. Yan Qi could not miss this good opportunity to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage.

When Emperor Hui saw Yan Qi coming back, he thought that Yan Qi had listened to the prime minister and came back to dissuade him, so he felt unhappy.

"Once the imperial decree is issued, it will never be changed. If you want to persuade me to take back my order, then don't say so."

Yan Qi knelt down straight.

"How dare I question your father's decision? The imperial decree has been issued and cannot be changed."

"Then what are you..."

When Emperor Hui saw Yan Qi kneeling down, he looked confused.

"I would like to marry the daughter of the Minister of Rites as my principal wife. I hope your Majesty can grant me the marriage!"

After saying that, Yan Qi kowtowed heavily to the ground.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Hui relaxed completely. It turned out that it was just a matter of asking for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, nothing special.

"As the daughter of the Minister of Rites, you are a good match for me. It's rare that you can take the initiative to ask me to marry you. Okay, I agree!"

Emperor Hui didn't care much about Yan Qi, let alone who he married. Since Yan Qi asked for it, he agreed without hesitation.

"Thank you, father, for your grace!"

Yan Qi felt relieved and very happy, but he did not show it on his face. He kowtowed to Emperor Hui to express his gratitude as usual.

"You go now. The imperial decree granting marriage will be issued soon. I am tired and need to rest."

Yan Qi bowed and left the imperial study.

Prince Jin was still standing there, and when he saw Yan Qi coming out, he had a look on his face that said "How could you not tell me such an important thing?"

Yan Qi ignored him, came out and went back to Changqiu Palace.

The King of Jin chased after him unwillingly.

"You didn't even tell me!"

"I thought you knew she was the only one I was going to marry."

"I knew it before, but you didn't say you wanted to marry me now!"

"So when do you want me to marry you?"

"..."

The two of them bickered all the way to Changqiu Palace.

The King of Jin could not wait to complain to Concubine Gao.

"Mother! Mother! Do you know that Fourth Brother is getting married?"

"I thought it was something else! I know about it. How come you just found out about it, Mu'er?"

Concubine Gao sat leisurely and teased her son.

King Jin became even more depressed after hearing this. Could it be that everyone knew about it, except him?

"You asked the emperor for marriage, but my future sister-in-law definitely doesn't know about it yet. Don't let her get angry and refuse to marry you?"

The King of Jin was still not giving up, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Yan Qi smugly.

"Don't worry about it. Huayin is willing to marry me. Even Lord Zhao and Madam have agreed. You might as well think about yourself more when you have time."

"You... Fourth Brother, you have changed. You actually did so many things behind my back. I am no longer the person closest to you..."

Prince Jin covered his chest with his hands, looking hurt, and cried out in complaint.

"It's not you who's marrying a wife, why should I tell you everything?"

Concubine Gao gave him a glare.

"Qier, leave him alone!"

"So you've already mentioned this to Lord Zhao. No wonder Lord Zhao just handed in a date when I sent someone to the Ministry of Rites to inquire.

I think Lord Zhao has carefully selected them for many days. Take a look."

Concubine Gao handed over a piece of plain paper, Yan Qi took it and looked at it - July 8th, auspicious day, suitable for proposing marriage and offering betrothal gifts.

"The day chosen by Minister Zhao is just right. It's enough time for us to prepare things. In addition to the betrothal gift prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, your mother will prepare another one for you.

You can’t treat your loved one badly.”

Concubine Gao patted the back of Yan Qi's hand as she spoke.

"Don't worry, mother will take care of everything for you. As long as she is the one you like, we will marry her and treat her well."

"Thank you, mother!"

Yan Qi bowed to Concubine Gao.

"But now you are all going to get married, and your mother has never seen Miss Zhao. When your father's imperial decree grants the marriage, you can bring her to me for a look."

Yan Qi quickly responded.

Concubine Gao agreed to Yan Qi's marriage even before she had met Zhao Huayin. Firstly, Benji and Zhao Huayin were not biological mother and son, and if she objected, it might cause rift. Secondly, Concubine Gao knew Yan Qi well and knew that he was not a reckless person.

Since they had chosen the daughter of Minister Zhao, this girl must have something extraordinary.

The King of Jin was eating snacks nearby and interrupted casually,

"Mother knows without seeing that anyone who can catch Fourth Brother's eye must not be an ordinary person. The embroidery that Fourth Brother sent to Qi State last time was repaired by her."

"really?"

Concubine Gao became interested instantly.

"She could actually repair such a complex embroidery?"

"It's true, mother."

Yan Qi spoke calmly,

"Huayin is Yaoniang's disciple."

Concubine Gao's eyes lit up. There had always been an embroidered screen made by Yao Niang in Emperor Hui's study.

Anyone who loves embroidery would want the work of Yao Niang, who is known as the "magic thread master".

Concubine Gao now wished that Yan Qi would bring Zhao Huayin to see her immediately.

"It turns out that he is Yao Niang's disciple!"

Concubine Gao, who was always dignified and graceful in her manners, spoke in an inappropriate manner.

Yao Niang's whereabouts are unknown and she has long retired from society. The works she left behind are becoming fewer and fewer, so it is very difficult to obtain one.

For Concubine Gao, who has always loved embroidery, she had already had a good impression of Zhao Huayin before she even met her.

"When the imperial decree granting the marriage comes out, I will summon her to the palace to see her."

Concubine Gao couldn't wait any longer.

Yan Qi quickly responded.

Thinking of the promise he had made to Zhao Huayin to pick her up, Yan Qi stood up and said goodbye.

When Yan Qi arrived at Yunshangfang, Zhao Huayin was with several embroiderers. She seemed to be teaching them something, and the embroiderers were listening very attentively.

Yan Qi did not disturb them and went to the second floor to wait.

After waiting for a whole meal, Zhao Huayin finally came up to find Yan Qi.

"Have you been waiting for a long time? Why didn't you call me when you came?"

"You're working, and I don't want to disturb you. Anyway, I have nothing to do today, so it's okay to wait for a while. Are you tired?"

Yan Qi thoughtfully poured a cup of tea for Zhao Huayin.

"Drink some water first and rest for a while."

"Did you have a smooth journey into the palace today? Is there anything going on?"

"I have something to tell you. I have asked my father for permission to marry me, and he has agreed. The imperial decree should be coming down soon."

Zhao Huayin was surprised that Yan Qi would say this, and her cheeks instantly turned pink.

"I have also told my mother that she is already preparing the betrothal gifts for me. Your father has chosen an auspicious date for the eighth day of the seventh month. I will come to your house on that day to propose marriage to you."

Zhao Huayin knew that the mother Yan Qi was talking about was Prince Jin's biological mother, Concubine Gao. Under Yan Qi's burning gaze, Zhao Huayin nodded slightly.

Yan Qi reached out and held Zhao Huayin's hand.

"Don't worry, mother won't make things difficult for you. After you get married, you will be in charge of all matters in the palace. You only need to go to the palace to pay your respects on the day of the audience."

"it is good."

Zhao Huayin knew that Yan Qi was trying to comfort her, so she listened and responded.

Yan Qi continued,

"But mother said she wanted to see you before the wedding. Once the imperial decree comes down, she will summon you."

Zhao Huayin was a little nervous when she heard this.

"see me?"

"Yes. My eighth brother said that you are Yao Niang's disciple. Mother loves embroidery the most and wants to meet you. I will accompany you then, don't worry."
