The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

Heavy rains in recent days have caused the water level of the canal west of Kyoto to rise. However, the imperial court did not pay enough attention to this.

Over the years, the prince has been responsible for supervising the canal, and there has never been any accident.Therefore, Emperor Yao simply gave the prince a few words in the morning meeting.

After going to court, the prince ordered relevant officials to investigate the dam downstream and stopped asking about the matter.

As soon as he returned to the East Palace, he couldn't wait to take out the account book about embezzlement of official salt that he had accidentally obtained a few days ago, and he was extremely excited.

Immediately, he summoned several confidants and began to discuss how to use this ledger to deal with the second prince.

At noon that day, the showers began to subside.

Uncle Shi took the handkerchief and table flag embroidered by Ning Ziqing and went to the study to meet Su Yanqi.

After entering, Su Yanqi took the square handkerchief from Uncle Shi's hand and looked at it.

The outline of a blooming pink and white lotus embroidered on the handkerchief is clearly visible. The stitches are fine and the layers are rich and vivid. The exquisite embroidery techniques carefully outline the stamens and petals of the lotus, making it look lifelike and real.

Su Yanqi's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but admire: "Mrs. Xiang'an's original embroidery method is indeed wonderful, the embroidery skills are so lifelike."

Uncle Shi happily praised Ning Ziqing: "The third lady is really skillful. She embroidered this square handkerchief for the young master with such care."

As he said this, he glanced at Su Yanqi and saw a smile on his face, staring at the handkerchief lovingly and reluctant to put it down for a long time.

Uncle Shi looked pleased and quickly suggested: "Master, you haven't gone to have lunch with Miss Third for several days. Why don't you take advantage of today to thank her for embroidering handkerchiefs for you and go to the main room to have lunch with her later?" .”

Su Yanqi looked up at Uncle Shi, hesitant.

That day, he lost control of his emotions and lost his temper at Ning Ziqing. After he calmed down, he regretted it.

Later, in order to avoid embarrassment, he always deliberately avoided meeting Ning Ziqing and spent most of his time busy outside.

Uncle Shi saw what he was thinking and explained to him: "The third lady said that she is not angry with the young master, so he does not need to worry."

Su Yanqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said guiltily, "It's my fault that I couldn't hold back that day and scared her."

Uncle Shi comforted him: "That's not true. The old slave thinks that the third lady is not that timid. After getting along with her for the past few days, the old slave thinks that the third lady has a cheerful and lively temperament, is tolerant to others, is dignified and beautiful, and is very suitable for the young man and the talented woman. The old slave likes her very much."

Hearing Uncle Shi's praise and affection for Ning Ziqing, Su Yanqi smiled slightly and felt a sense of warmth in his heart.

Seeing this, Uncle Shi solemnly asked: "Master, when will you marry the third young lady? With her here, the Zouhe Zhai will be much more lively. The servants of the Su Mansion are looking forward to your early marriage."

Su Yanqi lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled, hiding the sadness in his eyes, and there was a burst of sadness in his heart.

He folded the handkerchief carefully and put it into his sleeve, suppressing his disappointment and chuckled: "I still have to ask the third lady what she means."

Uncle Shi looked anxiously: "Then young master, hurry up and ask. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming again, and I hope that the third lady will accompany you next year."

The Su Mansion was already sparsely populated, and in this generation there was only one master, Su Yanqi.

Su Yanqi spent most of the annual festivals alone in the Su Mansion. Occasionally, Emperor Yao would go to the palace to attend family banquets out of consideration for Concubine Wan.

But every time he saw other people's family reunions, he was always just an outsider.

When he thought of this, Uncle Shi sighed in pain.

In order to appease Uncle Shi, Su Yanqi nodded and agreed: "I understand, Uncle Shi. You go down first."

Uncle Shi bowed and left with satisfaction.

After he left, Su Yanqi picked up the tea table runner Ning Zi Qingxiu and spread it out in his hands to admire it.

On the dark blue cloth, two osmanthus branches blooming lushly are embroidered on the left side, extending to the full moon hanging in the sky.

Under the flower branches, there are two little rabbits, gray and white, squatting innocently on the ground covered with osmanthus petals.

The whole embroidery has exquisite composition and beautiful artistic conception, and every flower and leaf appears vivid and spiritual.

Su Yanqi was fascinated by the sight, and stretched out his hand to slowly brush the branches, as if the scattered osmanthus flowers were scattered by him.

The full moon at night is such a beautiful scene.

He still remembered that Qingxu and Qiang Ze had said that Ning Ziqing liked osmanthus trees and also liked to eat osmanthus cakes.

Her nickname is Manman.

Therefore, she must be looking forward to such a beautiful worldly perfection.

It's just that she doesn't have him in her perfection.

As Emperor Yao's birthday is coming next month, Emperor Yao sent Ning Zijun to Shengming Mountain three days ago to welcome the third princess Huo Yunxi back to the palace for reunion.

At the same time, he learned that Qian Ye's congress sent envoys to celebrate his birthday, and he issued a decree to pardon the ban on Concubine Yue and the second prince.

All the palaces in the palace began to get busy, and the Queen was extremely busy as she personally supervised and organized all the matters related to the birthday banquet.

The Gucheng fine iron theft case pursued by Huo Yunjue and Gu Liaohe finally came to fruition. Zhang Mengde's body was finally found in an abandoned mine.

However, apart from that letter, they didn't have much evidence in their hands to prove that the prince had instructed Zhang Mengde to make money and colluded with people from the Qianye Kingdom to steal the fine iron.

Because there are many officials involved in this case, it is complicated, including the prince, the second prince and the Duke of Qi.

In order to avoid shock to the government and the public and serious damage to their vitality, Huo Yunjue and Gu Liaohe discussed and only reported Zhang Mengde to the court as the main culprit of self-stealing.

After reading the report, Emperor Yao became furious and ordered severe punishment for all the officials involved in the case.

Courtiers who committed crimes of varying sizes were deposed, imprisoned, beheaded, and all were eliminated.

For a time, people in the court were in panic, fearing that they would be involved.

After removing this group of people, Emperor Yao prepared to arrange for new officials to take office in Gucheng.

In the morning meeting, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince unexpectedly did not compete to recommend their own person.

They were both afraid that Emperor Yao would be suspicious of them, so both parties remained silent.

Emperor Yao knew the thoughts of these two people. Although he asked a few questions in person, since Gucheng was an important city for the source of iron ore and weapons in Nan Yao Kingdom, he still carefully selected Cao Huan and Mr. Lin Ge. Wait for the personnel recommended by the veterans to take up their posts.

Huo Yunchue and Gu Liaohe made great contributions to the Gucheng case, and Emperor Yao praised them in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

In addition to rewards, Huo Yunjue was also ordered to receive envoys from various countries who came to celebrate his birthday on behalf of the royal family next month.

The crown prince and the second prince immediately became serious. In the past, Huo Yunchue had no chance to appear on such an important occasion.

Emperor Yao's move was obviously a change in his attitude towards Huo Yunchue.

After this incident, the courtiers' views on Huo Yunchue changed greatly.

After going to court, some officials even took the initiative to talk to Huo Yunchue.

The second prince gritted his teeth in hatred for this, but he could only endure it silently.

He stared at Huo Yunchue's retreating back with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Let you be proud for a while, whether it is a blessing or a curse, we will see!"
