Does this person deserve so much reward?
Jing Li was hesitating when he heard Qi Xuan continue, "Master Qin is right. It's as it should be. I'll pay for it and give it to them in Master Qin's name. Is that okay?"
Qin Zhao didn't refuse at all: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
The imperial physician came here and earned five taels of silver for nothing. He was confused and left after saying a few words of thanks to Qin Zhao.
The farce was finally resolved.
Qin Zhao was in a good mood today. He did not get angry with Qi Xuan and even invited Qi Xuan and Xiao Yue to have dinner at his house.
Only the little fish boy was really aggrieved today, and he kept pestering his father and refused to leave no matter what he said.
It was late at night, and the little fish fell asleep in Jing Li's arms. Qin Zhao hugged the father and son from behind.
He lowered his head and kissed Jing Li on the side of his face, then moved his palm down, first rubbing the little fish's head, and then falling on Jing Li's lower abdomen.
This time they discovered it early, Jing Li's lower abdomen was still flat and tight, and they couldn't feel anything.
"What should we do next?" Jing Li asked in a low voice.
Based on previous experience with koi, the gestation period is short and consists of two parts: laying the eggs and then hatching them. Calculating the dates, Jing Li estimated that the time it would take for the koi to have a baby would be no more than four months.
When they had the little fish cubs before, they could hide the birth of the cubs by moving, but now that Qin Zhao is an official in the capital, it is not so easy to hide this secret.
"Don't worry." Qin Zhao said, "Just take care of yourself now. I'll figure out the rest. Just leave it to me."
"All right."
Jing Li certainly believed that Qin Zhao could handle everything. He stopped thinking about it and looked down at the baby sleeping in his arms: "I just don't know how the little fish will react when he finds out."
They couldn't tell anyone about the pregnancy for now, so they didn't tell the little fish either. After all, the little one didn't know how to keep a secret, and who knew if he would let it slip.
Also…his fish cub is so clingy, what if he doesn’t want a brother or sister?
Jing Li was a little worried.
"He will accept it." Qin Zhao kissed Jing Li's hair and said softly, "This child will be born with everyone's blessings. I promise."
.
From the next day on, Qin Bianxiu's work efficiency improved by leaps and bounds. He handled the tasks assigned to him very quickly and usually finished them all before noon.
Not only was it completed, but the results were better than most people's, and all the colleagues in the Hanlin Academy were shocked.
It seems that this person has been hiding his abilities all along?
There was a lot of discussion in the Hanlin Academy about Qin Zhao's changes.
Everyone knew that the emperor favored talent and intended to personally preside over the wedding ceremony for the newly crowned top scholar. This was a first for the dynasty, but it wasn't unprecedented, so it wasn't surprising. However, Qin Zhao's sudden change in attitude at this crucial moment was intriguing.
Many people felt that Qin Zhao had finally lost his patience and wanted to continue climbing up.
Qin Zhao didn't care what outsiders speculated.
He just wanted to go home early to be with his husband.
As for the wedding, Qin Zhao did not allow Qi Xuan to bother Jing Li again. He made all the decisions on the matter, and the efficiency of the preparations was greatly improved.
The wedding is set for a month later.
Before the wedding, the emperor issued an edict stating that he and Jing Li hit it off at first sight and were willing to become sworn sisters and confer the title of princess on her.
This is also the first Shuang'er to be canonized as a princess since the founding of the country.
The imperial edict was delivered to the mansion personally by the chief eunuch. When Jing Li received it, he was still confused.
"What's going on?" Jing Li pulled Qin Zhao aside and asked after everyone left.
Qin Zhao said calmly: "You are Shuang'er in name only, so you cannot be crowned a king. You can only be given the title of Princess."
"That's not what I'm asking!" Jing Li frowned. "What are you and Axuan planning? Why did you make me a princess out of nowhere?"
"Isn't this good?" Qin Zhao put away the imperial edict and said with a smile, "If I bully you again in the future, the emperor will stand up for you. Speaking of which, we may be the first couple in history to go from prince and princess to princess and consort. It's quite interesting."
