Chapter 456 Appreciation
Qin Huiyin lay on the stone table, looking gloomy.
"That unruly princess must never 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 still force your brother to marry?"
"You're right. We'll see how Big Brother behaves in the palace tomorrow. If we're lucky, we might be able to resolve this matter quickly." Qin Huiyin sat up. "It's too late. Go get some rest! Your eyes are red. How long has it been since you 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 it wasn't that he wasn't tired, but that he knew she might not be able to sleep all night, so he wanted to stay with her for a while longer.
He always kept his emotions to himself and kept many things secret from her. But she would always look for him when she had something to do, and she would make him work hard for 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're already having 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 where I am 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 something happens. This means that I am also very important in your heart."
"Don't worry. You will 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.
This is 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 at the Tang family for the first-hand news from there.
At noon, there was still no news from Tang Yichen. However, Tang Yixiao came back first.
"Xiao brother..." Li Taohua looked at Tang Yi and smiled. "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 was injured. That unruly princess beat me. But she only whipped me once. When she wanted to hit me again, I sprinkled the powder on her."
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, enough to make her itch for three days. There's no antidote for this powder yet, and the itching must last for three days, so she spent those three days soaking in ice water."
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 escaping danger! Xiao Ge'er, you're the one who caused this incident after all. Don't you know how to reflect on it?"
"Mom, I've reflected on this." 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, my younger brother has been worried all night in Prince Zhong's mansion. He must not have had a good rest. Let him rest first!" Qin Huiyin said, "We can scold him after he has rested well."
"You two are so affectionate siblings, and I, as their 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. Aside from that unruly princess who wanted to take revenge on me and whipped me in a wheelchair right after I was captured, the other people in Prince Zhong's mansion haven't used any torture on me. When I heard someone come in today, I thought they were up to some trick, but they just walked me to the door and closed it behind me without saying a single word."
"Since we don't know the reason, it means that there has been progress with Big Brother. Arrange Mo Yan and Mo Yu to inquire about the situation with Big Brother and see if his plan has been successful."
"What are your plans, brother?" Tang Yi asked with a smile.
"Ask first, and then tell us when 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 left the palace, the palace issued an imperial decree. Now the eldest son is the Minister of Works, a fourth-rank official."
"Minister of Works?" Tang Yixiao was puzzled. "Isn't Big Brother in the Censorate? Switching from the Censorate to the Ministry of Works, that's a bit strange, isn't it?"
"Not surprising." Qin Huiyin, seeing that Tang Yichen had succeeded, told him what she and Tang Yichen had discussed last night. "Big brother's transfer from the Censorate to the Ministry of Works was probably related to the drawings I gave him. Those drawings needed someone to implement them, and big brother, the one who submitted the drawings, was the best candidate."
"But, you were the one who gave those drawings to Big Brother. You know their purpose better than Big Brother."
"The Emperor couldn't possibly give a woman an official title, could he? He transferred my eldest brother to the Ministry of Works, and it would be reasonable for my eldest brother to take me there occasionally. Besides, my eldest brother is the top scholar, so he can't stay in the Censorate forever. He will be transferred to the six ministries and become familiar with their affairs, which will help him in his future promotions."
Tang Yichen represents the world's impoverished students. If the emperor can cultivate such a noble minister, the world's students will study harder. Tang Yichen is a bait given by the emperor to the world's students. The faster he is promoted, the more it will 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.
"Follow the sky..."
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, "Master Tang, by marrying the princess, you will become a member of the royal family. This is a happy event! Prince Zhong personally went to the emperor to ask for this marriage!"
