"Your Majesty, I ask for nothing. I just want to do something for Tianqi."
His words came from the heart, without any hypocrisy.
I had wasted my time in the past, but fortunately my adoptive father did not despise me and gave me a meaning in life. He did this not for reward, but to make his mother feel at ease in Jiuquan.
"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. This is the emperor's order."
Mo Kang couldn't refuse and thanked him.
"Your Majesty, I have something else to say."
"you say."
"I have been entrusted by Master Mo to come here today to tell you that he will no longer be able to create sophisticated mechanical devices."
As soon as these words were spoken, the joy on the ministers' faces instantly disappeared and their expressions became serious.
If he can't do the delicate mechanical work, doesn't that clearly tell them that Mr. Mo's hands are useless?
They were expecting Master Mo to create something even more powerful to sweep across the two countries, but now they say that Master Mo's hand is broken?
"How could this happen?"
Looking at the ministers' incredulous expressions, Mo Kang pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Mo is old, so it's to be expected that his hands won't obey my command."
Others may not know why this matter was revealed at this time, but the Fourth Prince knew it very well.
The reason why my grandfather told this at this time was to pave the way for him.
Once this news came out, it stopped anyone from questioning whether the military puppet show was a way for him to become famous by borrowing his grandfather's name.
"Everyone, don't worry. Grandfather is doing well now. With me here, the Mo family's mechanical engineering will not stop here."
The Fourth Prince spoke loudly, without a trace of fear on his face.
He knew in his heart that once he said this today, it was equivalent to taking on a heavy burden in front of all the ministers, and there was no turning back after taking on this burden.
"Well," the emperor said with a smile, "they say that the new wave pushes the old wave forward. I will see how you, the new wave, perform."
[Fourth Brother is really going all out, putting himself on the line. He has to give it his all.]
It seems that Elder Mo feels that Fourth Brother has grown considerably and is capable of shouldering the heavy burden of the Mo family's mechanical arts, which is why he asked Mo Kang to reveal the fact that his hand was broken today.
…
After the group left the military camp, the emperor called the fourth prince to the imperial study.
"Do you understand your grandfather's intention now?"
The Fourth Prince nodded, "Your Highness understands. After I say this today, there is no turning back."
"I'm glad you understand. After hearing what these old foxes have said today, and considering the training puppets you just made, do you have anything to say?"
The Fourth Prince thought about it seriously.
"I won't let them have the chance to laugh at me."
emperor:"……"
My silly Fourth Brother, Master Mo made you proud today, and Daddy praised you, proving that you've gone from being despised to being a hot commodity. Judging by the nature of these ministers, they're definitely trying to find someone for you, a single guy.
[Although I don't have a daughter who can be my principal wife, I can still have her as my concubine.]
"Still don't understand?"
The emperor looked at the fourth prince and thought that Luo'er was the one who understood these old foxes.
"I understand."
"So what reward do you want?"
The Fourth Prince said without hesitation, "I don't ask for anything else, I only ask that the Emperor grant me and Qin Qianqian a marriage."
[Daddy is indeed a master of the old foxes in the court. He directly predicted their predictions.]
"Alright, go see your mother before leaving the palace."
The fourth prince took his leave from the imperial study and went straight to Concubine Shu's bedroom.
Because Defei and Xianfei sometimes come to visit, Shufei's bedroom is not equipped with any mechanisms.
The Fourth Prince walked safely to the door of the bedroom and asked Tao Ye who was at the door.
"Is mother here?"
"The Empress has heard about Your Highness's affairs. She said that if Your Highness doesn't want to be remembered, you should take this opportunity to ask the Emperor for an imperial decree to grant him marriage."
"The Emperor has already agreed."
Seeing that Tao Ye still had no intention of letting him in, the Four Emperors asked in doubt, "Could it be that Mother is not in the bedroom?"
As soon as the words fell, the voice of Concubine Shu was heard in the bedroom.
"Since your father has agreed, you can leave the palace now. I eat well and sleep well, so I don't need you to watch over me."
She paused, then continued, "When your father issues the imperial decree granting the marriage, bring Qin Qianqian to see me."
…
at the same time.
Lord Qin rushed back to the Qin Mansion, got off the carriage and went straight to the main hall.
"Ma'am, we were wrong."
Madam Qin and Qin Qianqian were talking. Seeing him rush in and say some nonsensical things, she asked in confusion, "What's going on?"
Lord Qin took the tea from Madam Qin's hand and drank it before speaking.
"The Fourth Prince has become a hot commodity now."
Those guys looked down on the Fourth Prince before, but after what happened today, they must have become more active.
"What's so delicious? Master, please explain it more clearly."
So Lord Qin recounted what had happened today in detail. Qin Qianqian raised her lips and said, "I knew it would be like this when I saw the puppets training that day."
Lord Qin: “…”
"Qianqian, the point right now isn't this. The point is that you might have a competitor. You said the Fourth Prince doesn't have a principal wife, so if someone were to be shameless enough to ask for the position of concubine, the Emperor probably wouldn't refuse."
Mrs. Qin nodded in agreement.
"I should have let you get engaged to the Fourth Prince earlier. After all, she's just a concubine. The Emperor wouldn't be so disrespectful to his ministers."
Qin Qianqian looked distressed.
"What should I do now? Should I ask the Emperor for permission to marry me?"
No, she promised to wait for him, how could she break her promise.
"No, the Fourth Prince has a heavier burden on his shoulders now, and I cannot add to the chaos."
Mrs. Qin was silent for a while, and suddenly looked at Lord Qin who was silent.
"Master, why don't you be shameless and ask the Emperor for permission to marry you?"
"How can that be possible?"
Lord Qin immediately refused, "It would be too hasty for the Fourth Prince to go and ask for it."
"Oh, for the sake of our daughter's happiness, I'll risk my pride for once."
When Lord Qin was hesitating whether to go, a voice was heard at the door.
"The imperial edict has arrived—"
The three of them looked at each other, then quickly stood up, left the main hall, and knelt on the ground to receive the order.
When Eunuch Cao finished reading the imperial edict and handed it to Qin Qianqian, Qin Qianqian was still confused.
It turned out to be an imperial decree granting marriage.
Lord Qin looked at his daughter's silly look and reminded her in a low voice.
"Thank you quickly."
Qin Qianqian came back to her senses, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."
"Miss Qin, Master Qin, there's no need to be so polite. Please get up quickly."
"Eunuch Cao, is this the Fourth Prince's request?"
Qin Qianqian stood up and asked expectantly.
"Who else could it be if not the Fourth Prince?"
Eunuch Cao said this and said goodbye with the people who followed him.
"Dad, Mom, did you hear that? It's actually an imperial decree granting marriage. This means that the emperor also approves of me."
