Just as Luo'er said, the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is extremely important, and it has been left vacant because he has not found a suitable person to fill it.
Now that Li Yunhe has spoken, he can just pass this assessment and take office, leaving the ministers in the court speechless.
Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Li Yunhe's eyes.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely not affect the progress of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's teaching."
He thought the emperor would not agree easily, but he didn't expect the emperor to be so easy to talk to.
Moreover, he did not doubt his request just because his father was already the prime minister. It was truly a blessing to have such an emperor.
Li Yunhe seemed quite happy. I'm really curious what caused him to change his personality.
Yu Yiluo looked at Li Yunhe with gossip in her eyes and laughed secretly in her heart.
[Could it be that his love life has blossomed and he's looking to make progress? I heard from Aunt Shufei that Fourth Prince has been working very hard lately.]
[I don't want to. As long as he doesn't have any ill intentions towards Tianqi, that's fine.]
[Once he actually takes on the position of Minister of Personnel, I'm afraid many people in the court will start to feel jealous again.]
The emperor listened to the little guy's wild ideas and suddenly spoke.
"Master Li, do you have a girl you like? If so, I can help you get married once you pass the assessment. Wouldn't that be a double blessing?"
[Oh my, the Tyrant asked what I was about to say. Looks like I'm not the only one who's gossiping.]
Li Yunhe had not expected the emperor to ask this question. He was a little surprised, but he said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't have a favorite girl."
[It doesn't seem like she's lying. She spends every day in the palace, interacting with eunuchs, maids, and the Crown Prince. It seems like there's really no one she can develop a romantic relationship with.]
[Since the tyrant is so eager to help arrange a marriage, I should be able to point one out to my second brother today.]
The emperor waved his hand to let Li Yunhe leave, and then heard someone outside report that the second prince wanted to see him.
[Oh my god, if I don't become a fortune teller when I grow up, I'd be wasting my talent.]
emperor:"……"
"Send someone in."
The second prince strode in wearing a pink brocade robe, with his usual fan tucked into his waist. Perhaps because he was walking in a hurry, his tied-up hair was a little messy and hung on his shoulders.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father."
[Tsk, looking at Second Prince's expression, I guess he personally went to the Du Mansion to inquire about the results, and then came directly to the Imperial Study to find the tyrant.]
The second prince, whose thoughts were guessed, raised his eyes slightly. Was he so obvious?
Luo'er guessed all of this.
"Get up," the emperor glanced at him and said calmly, "What's the matter?"
[It's so obvious, why even ask? Second Brother is so eager to have the words "I have a wife" written all over his face, yet he still asks.]
[Of course, they came to you to arrange a marriage. The tyrant has never loved anyone before, you can't even tell.]
emperor:"……"
Second Prince: “…”
"I have come to ask the Emperor to grant me a marriage with Miss Du Shuyan of the Du family."
"Today or tomorrow?"
The second prince scratched his head and realized that the emperor was teasing him, and his ears turned a light red.
"Tomorrow, if Father is free."
The emperor looked at him with a smile, putting away his serious expression.
"I thought you were worried. Tomorrow I will send someone to the Du Mansion to convey the imperial edict. Go and tell your mother now."
"Yes, I will tell Mother right now. Thank you, Father."
[Hahaha, the tyrant knows how to tease people.]
…
The second prince left the imperial study, the smile on his face becoming more and more unconcealed.
Feeling that the guards at the door of the imperial study were looking at him, he coughed lightly, suppressed the upturned corners of his mouth, took out the fan hanging from his waist and fanned himself as he went to Concubine De's bedroom.
The palace servants along the way looked at the Second Prince, who was laughing as if he had found money, with a puzzled look on their faces.
Concubine De expected that Madam Du would enter the palace today and was waiting for her.
As a result, Mrs. Du did not wait for the prince, but waited for the second prince instead.
She glanced at the second prince who walked in, "Are you so impatient to go to the Du Mansion by yourself? Look at how worthless you are."
The second prince raised his hand and touched his face. What does it mean to look worthless? Why is his mother the same as Luo'er?
"You didn't go directly to find the emperor?"
Defei gestured for him to sit down, and seeing his expression she knew that she had guessed right again.
"Mother really knows everything."
The Second Prince smiled and handed the tea to Concubine De, "Father said that the decree will be issued tomorrow."
"Seeing how anxious you were, I thought it would be today."
Second Prince: “…”
"Now that this has been done, I, as your mother, am happy for you, but there are some things I must tell you."
Seeing Concubine De's serious expression, the Second Prince put away his smile and said, "Mother, you speak, and I am listening."
After sending away the servants around her, Defei took a sip of tea, put it down and spoke softly.
"Now the relationship between the princes is harmonious. Judging from the emperor's attitude, he will not force you to take concubines. Since you want to marry Shuyan, you should treat her well."
"Don't worry, mother. I promised A-Yan that I would only marry her in this life and I will never let her down."
Concubine De sighed softly and looked at the second prince.
"Life is still long. She is now at the prime of her life. In ten or twenty years, even if she is no longer the same as she is today, Mother hopes that you will remember what I said today."
The mother and son talked for a long time before Concubine De sent the second prince away.
…
On the other side, Li Yunhe, who had returned to the East Palace, had just entered the house when the prince walked in.
Seeing Li Yunhe was about to salute, the prince signaled him not to be so polite. After both of them sat down, the prince asked with a smile.
"What do you want, Brother Yunhe?"
Li Yunhe nodded and said, "The Emperor has already agreed, but it will only take a few days..."
"It won't take a few days. Brother Yunhe will focus on the assessment these days. You don't have to worry about me."
The prince interrupted him and said that this decision was made suddenly and he didn't know if it was too late for him to cram at the last minute.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The Crown Prince picked up his tea and said with some concern, "I heard that the Emperor's assessment this time is different for each department, but it all combines theory with practical cases. I wonder if Brother Yunhe is confident?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Even if I can't say it's 100%, it's definitely 90% certain."
After coming down the mountain and returning to Beijing, he never slacked off and continued to study after returning home, so he was not worried about the assessment.
When we were on the mountain, the master said that with his abilities, if the emperor valued him, it would not be an exaggeration to appoint him as prime minister.
At that time, he felt that it didn't matter whether he was the prime minister or not. He just hoped to learn enough and do something for the people. He didn't care about the high or low position of the official.
But after knowing that the little princess was the reincarnation of the master, his mood changed.
"That's good. Why did Brother Yunhe suddenly make this decision?"
Is it sudden? Not sudden either.
He began to think about this after he knew that the little princess was the reincarnation of his master.
Now that the master is still young, nothing will happen as he is favored by the emperor.
But he had to consider what would happen after the emperor was gone. He had to start building a world for his master while she was still young that would be enough to deal with all kinds of sudden changes in the future.
Otherwise, after the emperor passes away, those ministers who are dissatisfied with the emperor's favoritism towards the master will surely start to attack the master.
