After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

After Long Yan hurriedly gave instructions to the servant, he went into the palace to meet the emperor.

The servant followed the steward into the storeroom, took out some things, and prepared the registration book.

"Did the Fourth Prince say which young lady of the Qin family he wanted to give it to?" asked the steward, picking up a pen.

The servant hesitated.

"It should be the second young lady of the Qin family, right? Last time she fell into the water, the Fourth Prince sent people to rescue her."

The manager suddenly realized.

He thought of the rumors from the past few days and became more certain that the person the Fourth Prince liked was Qin Suyu, the second lady of the Qin family.

"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong, this headdress must be for Miss Qin Er, you should send it quickly, don't delay the Fourth Prince's marriage!"

The servant took the things and hurried to Qin's house.

Qin Shizhao and Fang Rushuang were having lunch when they saw the servant from the Fourth Prince's mansion coming to deliver something, so they put down their bowls and chopsticks.

"The Fourth Prince has ordered me to give this set of seawater jade and pearl headpiece to Miss Qin Er."

"To the Second Miss?"

"Yes, congratulations to Minister Qin. It looks like the second young lady will soon have good news."

The couple looked at the sea water in front of them and the jade-beaded headpiece, their faces changing from gloomy to happy.

"Master, could it be that the Fourth Prince heard that Qin Suyu was kneeling in the ancestral hall and sent something to support her?"

Qin Shizhao nodded, he thought so too.

"It is indeed possible. The Fourth Prince is trying to warn our Qin Mansion."

Fang Rushuang was worried.

"It seems that the Fourth Prince really likes Qin Suyu, but with her demeanor, how can she be the prince's principal wife? She is more like a concubine."

Qin Shizhao's expression froze when he heard this.

He interrupted Fang Rushuang and said, "No! What's the point of being a concubine? If she wants to keep the Qin family rich and prosperous, she can only be the fourth prince's principal wife."

"Don't forget, Taoist Qingxu said that Su Yu is our noble daughter, who can bring great wealth and honor to the Qin family!"

For a moment, both of them were silent.

After a long while, Qin Shizhao reluctantly said, "Let Ling'er teach her some rules. Otherwise, she will be ignorant of etiquette and cause trouble again."

Fang Rushuang sighed.

After all, Qin Suyu is her biological daughter, so naturally she has to make plans for her daughter.

But her daughter needs to be disciplined properly.

She was about to elaborate when she was interrupted by the sound of footsteps.

"Master, Madam, General Qi from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion sent a blue-green and white porcelain vase, saying it was for the second young lady to enjoy."

The servant held a vase in his arms and spoke loudly.

Qin Shizhao and Fang Rushuang looked at each other and asked at the same time: "General Qi gave it to the second young lady? Did you hear it right?"

The servant was very happy: "Yes, yes, General Qi also gave me a silver ingot as a reward."

They were both stunned.

Could it be that the Fourth Prince and Qi Qiyuan both have their eyes on Qin Suyu? !

Qin Suyu was released from the ancestral hall.

She has been scolding everyone in the Qin Mansion these days.

What a shitty Qin family, everyone looks down on her.

When she marries into the Fourth Prince's palace, she will definitely come back and trample them all under her feet!

When she returned to the room, she saw the head ornaments and vases on the table.

She thought these two things were given by Qin Shizhao and Fang Rushuang.

The maids in the room congratulated her again and again.

"What do you mean?"

"Congratulations, Second Miss. This is something that the Fourth Prince and General Qi sent to comfort you, knowing that you have been wronged!"

The maids all gathered around, and congratulations were heard one after another.

Qin Suyu was overjoyed when she heard this.

She knew that the Fourth Prince really loved her terribly.

But she didn't expect that Qi Qiyuan would not marry anyone else but her.

As expected, the heroine’s script is invincible!

Qin Suyu was caught in a dilemma.

The fourth prince's mother's family is very powerful and highly regarded by the emperor. It is very likely that he will be made the crown prince and inherit the throne.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had the military power in hand and the merit of following the emperor in the past, so it was at the peak of its power.

Qi Qiyuan has gained fame at a young age and his future is immeasurable.

She didn't know whether to choose the powerful Fourth Prince or the promising General Qi.

Only children make choices, she might as well... take both!

At this moment, the two men who were specifically named by Qin Suyu were arguing in the imperial study.

"Father, our treasury is tight, and we don't know how many years this war will last. It would be better to send a princess to marry and pay some money as compensation. After collecting taxes for a few years, the treasury will be full, and it won't be too late to attack the southern border."

The Fourth Prince has secretly colluded with the Southern Border and wants to cede the Southwestern border to them.

Qi Qiyuan disagreed.

He was trying hard to persuade Emperor Dongyue to send troops to fight.

"Your Majesty! The southern barbarians are invading our Dongyue. This is really too much. If we give in and seek peace this time, I am afraid that the Turks and Japanese will also invade us one after another!"

Emperor Dongyue hesitated.

He is old and doesn't like fighting. He just wants a stable life.

But if he asked for peace, it would make him seem like a coward as the king of his country.

For a moment, he couldn't make up his mind.

Long Yan saw what Emperor Dongyue was thinking and asked Qi Qiyuan, "General Qi, if this war cannot be fought to the end, the military pay cannot keep up, the soldiers starve to death and the city is lost, can you afford the consequences?"

Qi Qiyuan frowned.

Although he was a military general, he was not completely ignorant of the issue of taxation.

"In recent years, our country has not experienced wars or natural disasters, the weather has been good, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. How could the national treasury be empty?"

"Could it be that someone has embezzled money from the national treasury?"

When Emperor Dongyue heard this, he felt a little guilty.

Because he was the one who embezzled money from the national treasury.

In recent years, Emperor Dongyue has been obsessed with the art of immortality.

In order to please him, officials invited Taoists from all over the country to make elixirs for Emperor Dongyue.

Refining elixirs requires a large amount of money.

In addition, he also built a Taoist temple in the palace, which was extremely luxurious.

There were so many places to spend money that Emperor Dongyue simply opened the national treasury and embezzled a large sum of silver.

More and more silver was embezzled from the national treasury, and gradually the treasury became empty.

It’s just that Emperor Dongyue couldn’t speak of these things out loud.

He also wants to save face.

"In my opinion, it would be better to send someone to the southwest border to check the situation and then decide whether to fight or surrender."

Master Pang was cunning and came up with a compromise.

"This is a good idea, but who should we send?"

Long Yan remembered that Qi Qiyuan always opposed him, so he wanted to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson and make him never come back.

"I've heard that General Qi is both a man of letters and a warrior, and has extraordinary talents. Why don't you go there on behalf of the Emperor?"

Qi Qiyuan's father, Lord Qi, quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"No, no. My son has just woken up and has not recovered yet. I am afraid that I will fail your Majesty's kindness..."

A month ago, Qi Qiyuan was attacked and injured on his way to Xishan to suppress bandits, suffering severe head injuries.

The injuries were serious, but after treatment by the imperial physician, his life was finally saved.

But Qi Qiyuan fell into a coma and never woke up.

Until a few days ago, he suddenly opened his eyes on his own.

Old Marquis Qi always felt that something seemed different after his son was injured this time.

The person who used to be gentle and cheerful has become silent and taciturn.

Emperor Dongyue didn't have any good candidate in mind, so he agreed casually.

"General Qi, I will give you ten days to recover. After ten days, leave for the southwest border immediately!"
