Qin Yi was so busy in Dali Temple that he was immersed in reading files when he was pulled away by Gao Cheng, saying that His Majesty wanted to see him for something.
Qin Yi looked confused. What good could the emperor do by looking for him? He suddenly felt that he had no love in life and had great thoughts of resigning and leaving.
It's too difficult, it's too difficult. Being a young minister of Dali Temple is much harder than being in the Hanlin Academy.
He was dragged to the Qinzheng Hall with a numb expression on his face. Unexpectedly, the emperor opened his mouth and asked: "Qin Aiqing, you are already a grown man, have you ever thought about the big things in your life?"
Qin Yi was confused for a moment and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what does this mean..."
"I see that you are quite old now. It's time to get married." Xiao Chengye said slowly, "Do you have a girl you like? If so, tell me and I will make the decision for you."
Qin Yi: "...ah?"
"That father of yours is a big boss, and he doesn't know how to help you pay attention." Xiao Chengye said helplessly, "That child Zhenzhen is also anxious, and she has come to me for help. She is very anxious about your life-long affairs.
"
Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had some suspicion.
His good sister did a big thing behind his back.
Qin Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart, coughed slightly, and said with a righteous face: "When I was young, I was focused on studying and had no interest in love affairs between men and women. When I entered the court, I was also thinking about taking care of His Majesty's worries. I really had no time for him to care about it.
.”
"This life-long event... Wei Chen really hasn't thought much about it."
There was a smile in Xiao Chengye's eyes: "So, you don't have a girl you like yet?"
Qin Yi's face was full of seriousness: "I have never spoken to a strange girl."
Xiao Chengye burst into laughter.
He looked at Qin Yi, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became. Before he returned to the Qin family, Xiao Chengye himself admired this young man very much.
Now that he has returned to the Qin family, Xiao Chengye pays more attention to him.
"Your sister has found a partner for you, and I think it's pretty good. Do you want to consider it?" Xiao Chengye asked.
Qin Yi's heart was beating wildly, but he said: "That girl Zhen Zhen loves to play tricks and does unreliable things. Your Majesty, please don't let her lead you astray."
"Am I someone who is easily led astray?" Xiao Chengye raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't think she's fooling around. I think she has a pretty good sense, and I'm very optimistic about her."
Qin Yi was confused: "Then...who is it?"
"My fifth princess, Xiao Yu." Xiao Chengye stared at Qin Yi's expression and said, "She was also there in Qiu Lie last year. Have you seen her?"
Qin Yi couldn't hide the surprise on his face. He knelt down in an instant and said: "The princess is like a fairy, how can a humble minister be worthy of her? Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible."
Xiao Chengye was shocked by Qin Yi's reaction, and it took him a while to come to his senses.
He stared at Qin Yi meaningfully and asked, "A fairy-like person?"
Qin Yi: "..."
Qin Yi's face turned red instantly. He was kneeling on the ground and lowering his head, and you could tell that he was uncomfortable.
Xiao Chengye understood in his heart and asked him: "So, have you met the fifth princess?"
Qin Yi answered honestly: "We met several times during the hunting trip last autumn."
Then he said hurriedly: "But I just looked at her from a distance and did not violate any rules with the princess. Please tell me for your Majesty's warning."
If Qin Zhen were here, she would definitely spit hard on his elder brother's face.
She saw with her own eyes that Qin Yi was holding the princess's little hand and whispering to her. Now she looked at her from a distance, which was shameless.
The emperor was amused and comforted him: "Don't be nervous, I haven't said anything yet."
Qin Yi remained silent.
"Since you have met her and it sounds like you are quite satisfied with her, how about I make the decision and grant you a marriage?" Xiao Chengye said.
Qin Yi raised his head and still refused: "Your Majesty, I am a humble minister without talent and virtue. It is really..."
Xiao Chengye frowned and interrupted him directly, saying: "I heard that her mother saw a man for her, who was a branch of the Liu family. He beat his first wife to death and was a gambler. If you think you are not worthy,
What if I betroth her to this man?"
Qin Yi became angry all of a sudden and said immediately: "How is that possible?"
Xiao Chengye looked at him steadily and said nothing.
After a while, Qin Yicai slowly lowered his head, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision, and said: "Wei Chen... listen to your majesty."
Only then did Xiao Chengye smile again on his face, and then said: "Recently, things have happened one after another in the palace, so a happy event can be considered a rush."
"However, the Queen passed away not long ago and the Crown Princess is newly mourned. It is not appropriate to hold a wedding at this time. The marriage has been decided in advance and will be completed at the end of the year."
Qin Yi didn't dare to have any opinions. He was so happy that he wanted to get up and run around, and said directly: "Yes, I obey the order."
Xiao Chengye was very satisfied and waved his hand to let him go.
Qin Yi left the Qinzheng Hall with a sullen face, and Gao Cheng personally escorted him out.
When he entered, he even joked: "After the new year, I will be able to address you as Lord Qin's son-in-law."
Qin Yi glanced at him and said restrainedly, "Yes."
Gao Cheng: "..."
Qin Yi coughed lightly and added: "That will have to wait until the end of the year."
Gao Cheng: "..."
Qin Yi controlled his expression and returned to Dali Temple all the way, meeting many colleagues along the way. Seeing his expressionless face, everyone thought he had been scolded by the emperor, and did not dare to ask him.
After entering the door, Qin Yi went straight to his immediate boss and said, "I want to go home."
The immediate boss didn't even raise his head: "There are still a lot of things to be busy with, you can't leave."
Qin Yi: "I want to go home."
The superior looked up at him and wanted to reprimand him, but seeing his serious expression, he was wondering if he had been reprimanded by His Majesty, and he softened a bit at the moment.
"Forget it, forget it, go back first." The boss waved his hand and said, "However, I can only give you one night off, and you will come back tomorrow morning."
Qin Yi turned around and left without any delay.
He left the palace with a sullen face, and when he returned to Qin's house, he went straight to Qin Zhen's yard.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Zhen drinking tea in the yard. He quickly walked over, picked up Qin Zhen and spun her around.
Qin Zhen almost spit a sip of tea on Qin Yi's forehead: "Are you crazy?"
Qin Yi's sullen face finally broke, and he smiled with big white teeth. He stared at Qin Zhen and said, "You are really my good sister."
He put Qin Zhen down, lowered his head to look at her, and said with some excitement: "His Majesty just summoned me and said that he wants to betroth the fifth princess to me. The marriage decree will be issued soon, and the wedding date is set at the end of the year."
"Zhen Zhen, I have a wife, and you have a sister-in-law."
"You are so capable. Why are you so powerful? My brother really loves you!"
Qin Zhen took a step back, pointed at the door, and said, "Go out and calm down for half an hour, then come and talk to me again."
