After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Fan Shiming's purpose of coming was beyond Qin Yaoguang's expectations.

He actually came here as a lobbyist.

The purpose was to prevent her and Yan Changqing from divorcing.

"Your Highness, I know that my words are not taken seriously and I dare not discuss your family affairs."

Fan Shiming bowed respectfully and said, "I came here at the request of Su Jijiu and Wu Taifu. I know that Your Highness cares about the people, so please consider this."

If Wu Taifu and Su Jijiu are representative figures of the upright class, Fan Shiming represents the humble class.

These three joined forces and sent the most inconspicuous Fan Shiming to the Princess's residence. The meaning they expressed was clear.

Qin Yaoguang smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that my family affairs would alarm so many people."

Fan Shiming expressed his position: "My Lords, please let me tell Your Highness that as long as you change your mind, the Qingliu and the poor families will be at your service."

Qin Yaoguang raised his eyebrows in surprise.

This promise is an implicit joy.

At present, the combined power of the noble families cannot match that of the aristocratic families, but in the future, they will be the backbone of the court.

This is a very large force.

Qin Yaoguang did not agree immediately, but asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will ask you to do something you don't want to do?"

"We trust Your Highness."

Just six words reveal the careful consideration behind it.

Fan Shiming's decision to come to Qin Yaoguang was naturally not a momentary impulse, but the result of repeated consultations with the people behind him before making this important decision.

It was during the lifetime of the late emperor that the upright officials were able to gain a foothold in the imperial court.

The purpose of implementing the imperial examination system to select talented people was to promote capable and talented people from poor families.

Unfortunately, with the death of the previous emperor, the change of the three dukes and nine ministers into the system of three provinces and six ministries and a group of prime ministers was stopped halfway. The poor have never recovered since then, and the upright have to survive in the cracks.

Tutor Wu was a veteran of three dynasties with an extraordinary status and a well-educated scholar, but he had no real power and it was difficult for him to protect his students.

Just like her husband Zhou Lin, who was killed by Xiao, he was an outstanding student from a poor family during the reign of the previous emperor.

There were a dozen or so people in the same group as him, all of whom were Master Wu's favorite disciples, and Zhou Lin was the best one among them.

Originally, they had a bright future.

However, after the death of the previous emperor, they were banished from the capital by Xie Shu for various reasons. Some died, some became exiles, and it seemed that if they continued to waste their time, this group of people would never have a chance to make a breakthrough.

After much consideration, they decided that relying on the eldest princess was the best option.

But the premise is that imperial power cannot be separated from military power.

Once Qin Yaoguang and Yan Changqing divorce, the army that the royal family can directly control will be almost nothing.

Of course, the imperial edict and military token could mobilize any army in the world, but everyone knew that Xie Shu was the sole power in the court. Once he had second thoughts, the royal family would be in danger.

What the humble families needed was an army that obeyed the royal orders directly.

The military power controlled by Yan Changqing is indispensable.

Even though he was conferred the title of Prince of a County, he only had the honorary title of General Guarding the Country.

No one believed that he would lose his influence in the military because of this.

Fan Shiming expressed their thoughts one by one, including his selfish desire to support the poor, and his attitude was very sincere.

Qin Yaoguang discovered that this future commoner prime minister did have his strengths, at least he was fully qualified in lobbying.

Not to mention that the divorce with Yan Changqing was just a trap she set up. Even if she really wanted to divorce, she would probably be persuaded by him by now.

She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can agree to your request. But there is one condition."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"I only promise you that I will not divorce you. As for the process, please just stand by and watch."

After hearing this, Fan Shiming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "It cannot be said. It cannot be said."

It soon became no longer a secret that Xie Shu was trying to win over Yan Changqing.

He will definitely do something to announce his alliance with Yan Changqing, so as to intimidate everyone and prove to everyone that he is still the powerful Grand Tutor.

The matter was of great importance, and even if Fan Shiming expressed his loyalty to her as a representative, he still could not say it.

It is a secret that cannot be spoken out loud, it can only be hinted at.

Fortunately, talking to a smart person is worry-free. Fan Shiming immediately said, "I understand. Your Highness, please rest assured."

After seeing Fan Shiming off, Qin Yaoguang placed a pot of the only remaining daffodils on the windowsill of the study.

The fact that daffodils can bloom until February is the result of careful care.

The flowers have a faint fragrance and the green leaves are slender and upright.

The snow-white petals bloomed, and even just a few of them were enough to fill the air with fragrance.

Yan Changqing was overjoyed when he received the report.

This was the first time Qin Yaoguang summoned him, and he immediately started walking around the mansion.

What should I wear and what kind of gift should I bring when I go to meet my wife?

There is still an hour or two before dark, which is enough time for him to make preparations.

He now lives in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. The last time he saw her was when he attended the funeral of Duke Ningguo.

It’s really too long ago.

When the lawyer went to discuss matters with him, he noticed that Yan Changqing was fidgeting and felt strange.

"My Lord, what is the matter?"

In front of him, Yan Changqing had nothing to worry about and told him everything directly.

It is natural to please your wife.

The master looked at him and laughed, which made him feel confused.

"My Lord, don't you know that there are many women in the capital and in the army who admire you?"

Hearing this, Yan Changqing said seriously: "I am a married man."

He is very smart, how could he not know?

But whether at the border when he knew nothing about his wife, or now, he would not give other women the opportunity to take advantage of him.

The master shook his head: "My Lord, that's not what I'm talking about. Do you know why they like you?"

Yan Changqing nodded: "I know roughly."

The love between men and women starts from emotion and ends with courtesy. The superficial affection naturally comes from appearance.

This is what love at first sight is all about.

The master spread his hands and said, "Now that you know, doesn't the general know what to do?"

It turned out to be the case.

Yan Changqing thought about it carefully and gained some insights.

Of course, the lady is not a superficial woman who only looks at appearance, and the relationship between him and the lady is not so shallow.

But why not tidy yourself up?

He remembered that there were several times when his wife showed admiration in her eyes when she saw him.

So that night, Qin Yaoguang harvested Yan Changqing who smelled like pine snow.

Falling into his arms, the woody scent makes me feel at ease, and the strong heartbeat makes the cold snow scent even warmer.

Qin Yaoguang looked up at him, having the illusion that he had walked from the snowy mountains into the mortal world.

When he is not smiling, Yan Changqing looks solemn and stern.

The overly superior bone structure and sharp facial features combined together give him an awe-inspiring aura that makes people afraid to approach him easily.

However, what he left her was always a warm smile.

Yan Changqing lowered his eyes and looked at her, a smile flashing through his eyes: "Madam, are you satisfied with what you see?"
