Chapter 456 Appreciation
Qin Huiyin lay on the stone table, looking gloomy.
"That unruly princess must not become my sister-in-law, otherwise our family will never have peace."
"As long as Lord Tang doesn't agree, she won't become your sister-in-law. Even if Prince Zhong's Mansion is extremely powerful, can it force your brother to marry?"
"You're right. Let's see how big brother behaves in the palace tomorrow. If we're lucky, maybe we can solve this matter soon." Qin Huiyin sat up. "It's too late. Go to bed! Your eyes are red. How long have you not had a good night's sleep?"
"I'm not tired." Song Ruize said, "I'll sit with you for a while."
Qin Huiyin knew that he was not tired, but he knew that she might not sleep all night, so he wanted to stay with her for a while longer.
He always digested his emotions by himself, and kept many things from her. But she would always look for him when she had something to do, and she would make him worry about her.
"Brother, do you think I'm a troublemaker to you? I can't help you with anything, but I always cause you trouble. You've already had a hard time, and now you have to worry about me."
Song Ruize touched her hair: "What's in your little head? Why didn't you help me? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here today. Also, you are my only relative and you are very important to me. I hope that I am the first person you think of when you have something to do, which means that I am also very important in your heart."
"Don't worry. You'll be the first person I think of when I'm in trouble. Who made you so powerful?" Qin Huiyin leaned over and rubbed his arm.
Song Ruize touched her hair, his eyes full of satisfaction.
That's enough.
That night, Qin Huiyin didn't know how she fell asleep, and when she woke up, she was lying in her own bed.
Seeing that the sun was already high in the sky, she hurried back to the Tang family.
Tang Yichen should have entered the palace by now. She had to wait for the first-hand news from the Tang family.
At noon, there was still no news from Tang Yichen. However, Tang Yixiao came back first.
"Xiao brother..." Li Taohua looked at Tang Yixiao. "Are you okay? Did Prince Zhong's Mansion cause you any trouble?"
Tang Yi smiled and lifted his sleeves, revealing the whip marks on his arms: "I'm injured. That unruly princess beat me. But she only whipped me once. When she wanted to hit me again, I just sprinkled her with powder."
Qin Huiyin was curious: "What kind of powder did you sprinkle?"
"I carry a lot of powder on me. After all, I don't know martial arts, and I can't outrun others. It's not safe if I don't have something to protect myself. When she whipped me, I sprinkled it with itching powder, which was enough to make her itch for three days. There is no antidote for this itching powder, and she has to itch for three days, so she has been soaking in ice water for three days."
Qin Huiyin raised her thumb and stretched out her hand: "I want some too. Prepare some for me and Sister Luwu."
"No problem, as much as you want. Besides itching powder, there's sneezing powder, and..."
"Ahem..." Li Taohua coughed lightly. "You guys are getting carried away right after you got out of danger! Xiao Ge'er, you are the one who caused this incident after all, don't you know how to reflect on yourself?"
"Mom, I have reflected on it." Tang Yi said with a smile, "I will definitely hone my medical skills and make myself more prestigious in the medical community, so that no one will doubt what I say."
Li Taohua: “…”
"Mom, I have been on tenterhooks all night in Prince Zhong's mansion. I am sure I didn't get enough rest. Let him go and rest first!" Qin Huiyin said, "We will scold him after he has rested well."
"You two are siblings, and I, as your mother, am a bad person. He didn't sleep well in Prince Zhong's mansion, but we slept well at home. Look at them, their eyes are red like rabbits."
Tang Yixiao then realized that the eyes of his whole family were red. It was obvious that they had been worried about him all night and had not rested well.
"Little brother, why did Prince Zhong's Mansion let you out?" Tang Luwu asked.
"Yes, we almost forgot about the main thing. How did you get out? They went to so much trouble to capture you, and they let you go so easily?" Li Taohua asked.
Tang Yi smiled and shook his head: "I don't know either. Apart from that unruly princess who wanted to take revenge on me and whipped me in a wheelchair right after I was caught, no one else in Prince Zhong's mansion used any torture on me. When I heard someone coming in today, I thought they were going to play some tricks again, but they sent me to the door directly and closed the door without saying a single extra word."
"Since we don't know the reason, it means that there has been progress from Big Brother's side. You arrange for Mo Yan and Mo Yu to find out about Big Brother's situation and see if his plan has succeeded."
"What are your plans, brother?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.
"Ask first, and then tell us once you have found out clearly."
Tang Yixiao arranged for Mo Yan and Mo Yu to find Tang Yichen, and by the way, told Tang Yichen the news that he had returned home so that he would not worry.
Mo Yan and Mo Yu came back soon.
"After the eldest son came out of the palace, the palace issued an imperial decree. Now the eldest son is the Minister of Works, a fourth-rank official."
"Minister of the Ministry of Works?" Tang Yixiao felt strange. "Isn't my elder brother in the Censorate? Transferring from the Censorate to the Ministry of Works, this transition is a bit strange, isn't it?"
"Not surprising." Qin Huiyin saw that Tang Yichen had succeeded, so she told him what she and Tang Yichen had discussed last night. "The reason why my brother was transferred from the Censorate to the Ministry of Works should be related to the drawings I gave him. Those drawings need someone to implement them, and my brother, who handed in the drawings, is the best candidate."
"But you were the one who gave those drawings to Big Brother. You know the purpose of those drawings better than Big Brother."
"It's impossible for the emperor to give a woman an official title, right? He transferred my elder brother to the Ministry of Works, and it's reasonable for my elder brother to take me there occasionally. Besides, my elder brother is the top scholar, and it's impossible for him to stay in the Censorate forever. He will be transferred to the six ministries and be familiar with their affairs, which will help him get promoted in the future." Tang Yichen represents the poor students in the world. If the emperor can cultivate such a noble minister, students in the world will study harder. Tang Yichen is a bait given by the emperor to students in the world. The faster he is promoted, the more he can boost morale, so that the emperor can have his own people in his hands.
Just when everyone was relieved, the imperial edict arrived.
That’s right, it’s an imperial edict.
Tang Yichen had just returned from his shift when a eunuch came from the palace, gathered all the members of the Tang family, and read out the imperial edict.
"By the providence of Heaven..."
The eunuch read out the imperial edict in a shrill voice. Everyone in the Tang family was confused at first, and then they were furious. They didn't react until the eunuch finished reading the edict.
"Sir Tang, are you still not accepting the order?" the eunuch reminded.
Tang Yichen stood up and took the imperial edict.
"Eunuch, why does the emperor suddenly want to grant me a marriage with Princess Yuanying?" Tang Yichen stuffed a purse into his pocket.
The eunuch accepted the purse and said with a smile: "Sir Tang, if you marry the princess, you will be a member of the royal family. This is a happy event! It was Prince Zhong who personally went to the emperor to ask for this marriage!"
