Perhaps having anticipated this outcome, Yan Chuan had his own plans.
On the contrary, Sun Feizhang became a hot figure in the capital, simply because the top scholar of this year said, "I have achieved such results because of the good teaching of my teacher."
Whenever Sun Feizhang went out, he was surrounded by people who wanted to ask him for advice.
And the name Sun Feizhang was brought up again and saw the light of day once more.
The regret of missing the scientific expedition years ago was completely made up for at this moment.
Yan Chuan waited and waited, and finally the day of meeting the Emperor arrived. As the top-ranked candidate, according to etiquette, His Majesty would give them some reward.
Yan Chuan wanted nothing. He knelt before the emperor in the imperial court and begged him to grant him and Yan Qimeng a marriage.
Nangong Qing did not agree immediately. After the court session, he had someone stop Yan Chuan and take him to a side hall.
"May Your Majesty be well..."
Upon seeing Nangong Qing enter, Yan Chuan bowed to him.
Although the two had known each other for a long time, the proper etiquette between ruler and subject could not be disregarded.
"Yanchuan, I have read your articles. You have studied them diligently over the years, and you have not disappointed me."
Yan Chuan was dressed in a bright red robe, and his appearance was in no way inferior to that of Nangong Chiyu back then.
"If I can share the burden of the country, I will not fear any hardships or dangers. As a subject, I will always remember my original aspiration."
Nangong Qing had always had high hopes for Yanchuan since childhood. He believed that the two siblings, one controlled the merchants of Nanning, and the other would surely be promoted in the imperial court in the future.
The Chen family!
Ultimately, they will become a great clan that lasts for millennia.
"Very well, Yanchuan. You just asked me in court to grant you a marriage. Does Prime Minister Yan disagree with this?"
Yan Chuan immediately knelt down before Nangong Qing in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yan had some grievances against me before, but he did not respond to what happened just now, nor did he object."
I and Miss Yan are in love. My mother has proposed to the Yan family but was rejected. Now, Prime Minister Yan needs a way to save face.
Your Majesty has watched me grow up; I beg Your Majesty to grant my request…
"You are quite insightful at such a young age, but Miss Yan is, after all, the Empress's younger sister, and I naturally need to know the Yan family's intentions."
Even the emperor had to consider these social niceties, and Yan Chuan waited in the side hall for about half an hour.
Even if His Majesty and the Empress discussed it, they would surely have reached a conclusion.
Yan Chuan was extremely nervous, but Nangong Qing suddenly burst into laughter.
"Alright, the Yan family has probably received the imperial edict by now, so you don't need to worry. Gao Yi, read the imperial edict to him."
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
Yan Chuan straightened his posture and knelt down to receive the imperial decree.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The Yan family has a daughter of gentle and virtuous character; may the two families unite in marriage, a blessed union to last forever..."
Even after Gao Yi finished reading the imperial edict, Yan Chuan was still excitedly stunned on the spot.
"Your Highness...Your Highness...why don't you accept the imperial decree and show your favor..."
Gao Yi reminded Yan Chuan, who then snapped out of his excitement, raised his hands high, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
As Nangong Qing watched him clutch the imperial edict like a precious treasure, she was reminded of herself back then.
Although it was a marriage arranged for Yan Chuan, wasn't it also a way of making amends to his younger self?
"Your Highness and your mother-in-law would better hurry. I'm only giving you two months. I will personally attend the wedding."
Tell Prince Yu and the Deputy Minister of Agriculture to prepare well, and make sure nothing goes wrong.
Yan Chuan: "Yes! The Yuwang Mansion will definitely make it a grand and glorious affair."
Before Yan Chuan even left the palace, the good news reached the Yu Prince's residence, and Nangong Chiyu and Su Luo immediately began preparing everything for the marriage.
The Three Letters and Six Rites are all indispensable!
The wedding ceremony includes: accepting the bride's name, making auspicious betrothal gifts, setting the wedding date, and welcoming the bride!
The wedding date is set for two days from now!
Yan Chuan and Yan Qimeng finally got married...
