"My fifth princess is smart and dignified, and I love her the most. Now that she has reached marriageable age, I have carefully selected a group of young talents in order to find a suitable husband for her."

"Now, the Queen and I have carefully selected and found that the Doctor of Rites Su Wenxuan is very suitable. We have specially issued an order to grant the marriage between the Fifth Princess and Doctor Su, and the Ministry of Rites will handle the wedding."

As soon as Qin Yishu finished speaking, the entire Chongyang Palace was in an uproar.

Su Wenxuan is about to become a royal consort! The Su family has three children in total, one is the youngest Shangshu's wife in the Great Qin Kingdom, the only princess with a different surname, and the youngest first-rank imperial lady.

One is the soon-to-be-married Crown Princess, the future Queen, and the mother of a country.

Now there is another prince consort? This is unprecedented in the entire Qin Empire...

No, it has never happened in all dynasties! The Su family is probably going to be in trouble! At this moment, even Su Wenxuan was stunned when he heard such an order.

Last night, he stayed in Chongyang Palace in fear and trepidation all night. Even in the morning when the emperor changed his clothes and washed up, and led him to the main hall for court, he glared at him fiercely.

Su Wenxuan felt that the emperor must dislike him.

And there would no longer be any hope for his marriage to the fifth princess.

But now…

The emperor actually granted him a marriage with the fifth princess in front of all his ministers in the hall?

Is this true? Seeing Su Wenxuan's dull eyes, Qin Yishu shouted impatiently, "You don't even know how to thank me?"

Su Wenxuan finally came to his senses and quickly knelt down to kowtow, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your favor!"

Because of his excitement and disbelief, Su Wenxuan's movements seemed a little flustered, and even his voice trembled.

Promising!

Qin Yishu curled his lips again, but in front of everyone in Chongyang Palace, he did not show too much unhappiness. He just restrained his emotions and sat upright.

Su Wenxuan thanked him, and the other court officials knelt on the ground, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the fifth princess, and congratulations to Doctor Su."

The voices of the crowd were so loud that they could be heard from far away through Chongyang Palace and echoed throughout the entire palace.

The news that the emperor had granted marriage to the fifth princess and Su Wenxuan quickly spread through the streets and alleys of the capital and became known to almost everyone.

A talented man and a beautiful woman, a beautiful story.

Now that the imperial decree had been issued, Su Wenxuan felt at ease. He first informed his family of the good news, and then worked with the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the next step.

The Crown Prince and Su Yunruo's wedding will be in May of the following year, while the Fifth Princess and Su Wenxuan's wedding will be in July.

There was only a difference of two months.

One was the wedding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the other was the marriage of the fifth princess favored by the Emperor. All the items used in their weddings were carefully selected, and no mistakes or omissions were allowed.

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites and the Palace Eunuchs were extremely alert and busy every day, almost to the point of being exhausted.

After two more snowfalls, New Year's Eve is getting closer.

The Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department naturally became increasingly busy.

Ordinary officials and common people were also busy all day preparing for the New Year.

The weather was good in the second half of this year, and the grain harvest was abundant. Also, because the war was settled, the people no longer had to pay extra taxes to cover the war expenses, so they had some spare money, so the New Year's goods purchased this year were much more abundant than in previous years.

As the years go by and the people become more prosperous, they are naturally happy.

Memorials describing this situation were submitted one after another. The emperor was pleased to read them, which alleviated some of his sorrow for his daughter's upcoming marriage. He was so happy that he even invited the empress to the imperial garden to admire the plum blossoms in full bloom.

The red plum blossoms, as red as the clouds, reflected the white snow that has not melted in the past few days, and the scenery is particularly beautiful.

The two of them did not bring any palace maids or eunuchs with them, they just walked slowly along the corridor hand in hand.

A breeze blew, a faint fragrance floated in the air, and a few plum petals fell and landed on the queen's black hair.

Today's queen did not use too many hair accessories. She only used a few hairpins carved from flawless white jade to fix her hair, which made the red petals of the plum blossoms look even more beautiful.

Qin Yishu stopped and gently picked the petals of the plum blossom for the queen.

While doing this, Qin Yishu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Your Majesty, is this how you make fun of me?" the Queen said coquettishly.

"I'm not making fun of you. I just remembered the scene when I first saw you." Qin Yishu said with a smile.

The queen was slightly startled when she heard this, and her thoughts were distracted by Qin Yishu's gaze.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At that time, Qin Yishu had just been named the crown prince. That day, the empress dowager held a banquet in the harem and invited all the ladies with royal titles and unmarried ladies from famous families in the capital to attend the banquet.

In name, it was because the plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden were in full bloom and everyone was invited to come and enjoy the flowers. In reality, it was because they knew that Qin Yishu was depressed because he could never be open with his first wife. Now that Qin Yishu had become the ruler, they wanted to choose someone who suited his taste as a concubine for him and fill his harem early.

As the legitimate daughter of the He family, the Queen was naturally also invited and followed Old Madam He into the palace for the banquet.

The He family is a prominent family, and the Empress Dowager and Old Madam He also have a deep friendship. Naturally, they look upon the Empress differently and intend to introduce her to Qin Yishu. They specially order someone to take the Empress for a walk in the garden so that Qin Yishu can have a look at her.

At that time, Qin Yishu saw the dignified and virtuous queen standing among the clusters of red plum blossoms.

At that time, red plum blossoms were in full bloom after the snow, as warm as fire. Standing among them, the queen looked even more elegant and beautiful, with an extraordinary demeanor.

At first sight, Qin Yishu fell in love with her and begged the late emperor to grant him marriage.

From then on, the two of them lived in love and harmony, the envy of others.

Recalling the past, the queen smiled and said, "These are all old stories. Your Majesty still remembers them."

"Of course." Qin Yishu reached out and tucked the queen's hair behind her ears.

The movements are gentle and intimate.

Some people can be recognized at first sight.

Some moments need to be remembered for a lifetime.

Qin Yishu smiled and said, "I have been very busy these days and have not been to the harem for a few days. Today I am free, so I will go and pay my respects to the Queen Mother and have lunch in her palace."

"Your Majesty is filial, but I'm afraid it won't work right now. Let's go later." The Queen said with a smile, "I guess your mother will ask someone to invite your Majesty and me over before you and I can go."

"Oh?" Qin Yishu tilted his head, "Why is this?"

"Just now, someone came to report that the wife of Duke Dingguo entered the palace today."

The Queen's words made Qin Yishu even more surprised. "Duke Dingguo's wife came to the palace just to chat with my mother and relieve her boredom. There is no need for us to accompany her."
