However, the prime minister was quite old after all and eventually died of his illness.
The Prime Minister's Mansion and his disciples were in great mourning.
In contrast, the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion was filled with joy.
There was always a constant stream of ministers coming to the reception room in the main courtyard to offer congratulations.
Lord Xiao responded with a proud look on his face and a humble tone.
Waterside Residence.
Li Nian looked at the man teasing Jin He and asked, "Are you really not going to the front yard to entertain the guests? After all, they are all here to congratulate you on being granted the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."
Xiao Yunyu casually threw the colorful ball in his hand behind Jinhe and asked her to pick it up.
He replied lazily, "Father and Xiao Yunchen will handle it. Besides, I only have an empty title, so it doesn't matter whether I go or not. Xiao Yunchen has been promoted to Prime Minister now, and those people are actually trying to curry favor with him."
He followed the little girl with his eyes, watching her pick up the ball with her short legs, reach out to take it, and throw it out again.
Let the little girl continue to pick up the ball.
Li Nian's mouth twitched as he watched.
She couldn't understand the game between the father and daughter. She always felt that when Xiao Yunyu took his daughter out, it was like playing with a dog.
However, Jinhe likes it very much and never gets tired of it.
"By the way, the emperor has bestowed the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion upon me. Do you want to move there?" Xiao Yunyu suddenly asked.
Li Nian thought for a moment and said, "I like Liuli Pavilion."
"Then let's live in Liuli Pavilion." Xiao Yunyu said.
Li Nian was a little hesitant again. If she left Xiao Mansion and went to Liuli Pavilion, it would mean that she and Sisi would be separated.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Xiao Yunyu said, "Xiao Yunchen should move to the Prime Minister's Residence."
He asked Xiaobai to play with Jinhe.
He walked over to Li Nian, held her on his lap, and sighed softly, "After all, you've already started a family, so you can't stay together forever. Besides, the capital isn't that big, and it only takes an incense stick of time to ride there. Why do you always want to live in a house?"
Li Nian whispered, "We were always together before, and never lived apart."
"But you need to get used to it..." Xiao Yunyu held her hand, his low, magnetic voice carrying a hint of coquettishness, "Nian Nian, try to rely on me, too, okay?"
Seeing that she remained silent, Xiao Yunyu continued, "Li Sisi and my second brother should also have their own family and children. Even if they are sisters, it is impossible for them to live under the same roof for their entire lives."
"Let's wait until my second brother makes his decision. Anyway, the waterside pavilion is a great place to live. It's bigger than an ordinary family's entire house!"
Xiao Yunyu was not surprised by her answer, but just responded in a low voice with some helplessness.
The two best friends have not yet decided where to live.
In the capital, there were different opinions about the right and wrong of the empress's ascension to the throne.
The luxurious and spacious carriage passed through the bustling streets and arrived at Prince Xin's Mansion.
At the gate of Prince Xin's Mansion, the doorman knew who the carriage belonged to as soon as he saw it.
The Xiao family is currently in its heyday.
The eldest son was granted the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery by the Empress, and the second son was granted the title of Prime Minister by the Empress.
He was appointed Prime Minister at the age of 20. What an unprecedented talent!
Two elegant ladies got off the carriage. The doorman knew one of them; she was the wife of the young prime minister.
He immediately went forward to greet him respectfully, and then led him to the main courtyard.
At this time, the Fourth Prince was teasing his only son, while Wen Luoxin stood aside with a calm expression, watching coldly.
The two best friends entered the reception room and bowed.
"Meet the prince."
The Fourth Prince raised his hand and said, "Madams, please be polite. Please take a seat."
He then ordered the servants in the reception room to make tea.
"Take Qi'er down first!" The Fourth Prince handed his precious son to Wen Luoxin.
Wen Luoxin took the child, not even bothering to make a formal gesture, and turned to leave.
Did the two best friends sense that Wen Luoxin was angry with the Fourth Prince?
The Fourth Prince didn't seem to care at all, and it seemed that he really doted on Wen Luoxin.
There were only a few servants in the reception room. The Fourth Prince was at ease, his tone joking: "It's really rare for the two ladies to come together!"
Li Nian said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I've actually wanted to come here a while ago, but things have been so busy at the palace that I've only recently found some free time, so I decided to come and congratulate Your Highness on receiving the title."
Li Sisi took out an exquisite little wooden box and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Highness, on getting what you wished for. The Emperor said you were not feeling well, so we came here to offer you medicine."
The Fourth Prince immediately stood up and asked, "What medicine?"
Although he asked this, he actually had a guess in his mind.
Now everyone in the circle knows that the two ladies of the Xiao family have a "magic pill" in their hands that can save the dead and turn bones into flesh and blood. It is miraculous.
