Xiao Qingning shook his head disapprovingly, "That's not the way it should be. Even if it's an accident, you still need to have this kindness. The fact that you and Fifth Brother can think of doing something for the poor people is not easy."

Lin Qingyao felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. Although they would do things for the people on weekdays, if it weren't for her memories of her previous life, they wouldn't go to such great lengths to do so many things.

Lin Qingyao was talking to Xiao Qingning when she looked up and saw Li Zhehao waving at her and greeting her from the opposite side.

Lin Qingyao smiled back at Li Zhehao, indicating that she saw it.

Xiao Qingning beside him also saw Li Zhehao. When the two looked at each other, both of them blushed and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Lin Qingyao saw the whole scene and said with a smile: "Why didn't I realize that Hao'er was so handsome before? He was so handsome that our little princess blushed when she saw him."

After hearing what Lin Qingyao said, Xiao Qingning became even more shy and said angrily, "Fifth sister-in-law, what are you talking about? You are always making fun of me. I will ignore you."

Lin Qingyao smiled upon hearing this and hurriedly said, "Good Ning'er, don't ignore me. Tell your fifth sister-in-law how you and Hao'er are doing recently."

Xiao Qingning sighed when she heard this, "How can there be any progress? You and Fifth Brother have been busy these days, and Mother doesn't allow me to leave the palace at will. Apart from going to Fourth Sister's house with you before, I have never left the palace. How can I have the chance to see him?"

After hearing this, Lin Qingyao felt helpless. There were too many things going on these days and she really had no time to take care of their affairs.

But Hao'er is really something. He doesn't know how to take the initiative and has wasted a lot of time.

Fortunately, I have more free time these days, so I have to put their matter on the agenda.

Before Lin Qingyao could respond, a noise came from the entrance of the hall.

Just like when Xiao Jingxuan and Lin Qingyao entered the door just now, there was also a person at the door who was surrounded by people, and he was greeting the people in front of him with a smile on his face.

This man was only about sixteen or seventeen years old, very handsome, with bright eyes. Although he was smiling at the moment, it was obviously just out of politeness. It can be seen that he was not a person who liked to smile. Although he was still young, he looked upright in his official uniform, giving people a sense of integrity.

Lin Qingyao suddenly became curious about this person. Seeing how polite these people were to him, his identity must be extraordinary, but she had never seen him before.

Lin Qingyao couldn't help but ask curiously: "Husband, who is this person? Why have I never seen him before?"

Jamel Xiao chuckled when he heard this, "Why, Madam, when you see this handsome young man, you can't wait to know who he is? Madam, you care about other men like this, but I will be sad."

After Jamel Xiao finished speaking, he covered his chest and pretended to be in great pain.

Lin Qingyao glanced at him and said angrily, "There are so many people watching, you should be serious. Don't worry, my husband, in my eyes, no one is more handsome than you. I am helping my fourth sister find a suitable husband. I think he looks handsome and is of the same age, but I don't know what his family background and character are like?"

Xiao Jingxuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Madam, you have a good eye. He is indeed a good match for Yi'er. This man is the new champion scholar Jiang Wenjun. Although he has not been appointed yet, his talent is highly praised by the emperor, and he must be used. So you see, today is the first day that Jiang attends the banquet, and these people are already scrambling to get to know him, right? I don't know what kind of person Jiang is, but I heard that he comes from a poor family with only a mother. His father died early, and his mother worked hard to raise him, which was not easy, so he is very filial and has brought his mother to the capital."

Lin Qingyao listened very carefully, and was very satisfied with Jiang Wenjun after listening to him.

"The fact that he is appreciated by the emperor shows that he has some ability. His family is simple, which is good. My fourth sister has always been outspoken and easily offends people. If she marries into a family with complicated people, she will be restricted. It's just that his family background is low, but I don't think it's a problem. Since he has become the top scholar by his own merit, his future is limitless. Besides, it's better to have a low family background, at least he won't bully others. If my fourth sister marries him, I think she won't be wronged."

Xiao Jingxuan felt that Lin Qingyao's analysis made sense. "Madam, you are right. I also think that he should meet the requirements of my aunt and Madam Bai. However, Madam, you have said so much. Didn't you overlook one problem? We still don't know whether Mr. Jiang has married or has an engagement."

"Yes, I only thought that he was the right candidate, and forgot about this. But this is just my thought. After all, we don't know what his character is like yet. I'll trouble you to send someone to inquire about these two matters. This concerns the happiness of my fourth sister, so you must inquire carefully."

Upon hearing this, Jamel Xiao nodded solemnly, patted his chest and assured, "Madam, don't worry, I will personally inquire about this matter, and I promise to find out everything clearly. Madam, just wait for the news."

Lin Qingyao smiled when she heard this, "Okay, I'm confident that my husband can handle things."

"The Emperor is here, the Queen is here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness."

Xiao Chenyu and Zhou Menglin sat down hand in hand. Xiao Chenyu was obviously in a good mood today and waved his hand with a smile.

"No need to be polite, please stand up. Today we are here to celebrate the fact that our Great Qi Nation has successfully survived this disaster. Please don't be shy, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The banquet began with a singing and dancing performance as usual to celebrate.

After everyone had toasted each other for a few rounds, they finally got down to business.

"We were able to successfully get through this disaster this time, and the Prince and his wife are the top contributors. I plan to give them some rewards, do you have any objections?"

Xiao Chenyu asked this question not because he really wanted to hear anyone's opinion, but because he wanted to give others a chance to praise the two of them together with him.

Zhou Menglin naturally understood Xiao Chenyu's intention, but Xiao Jingxuan was her son, so it would be inappropriate for her to say anything at this time.

It was Concubine Zhang's turn to come on stage. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince and his wife contributed both money and effort this time. Thanks to them, the people are safe. They have worked so hard and made so many contributions that they deserve your praise and reward. How could anyone object?"

Xiao Chenyu nodded with great satisfaction after hearing this, "My beloved concubine is right. I also think that this is what they deserve. Xuan'er, Yao'er, come forward to receive your reward."
