His Majesty's imperial edict has naturally spread throughout the capital, and the Prime Minister's Mansion has naturally received the news. When the news came in from the servants, the Prime Minister's wife couldn't believe it.
After confirming twice, I believed that the young master of the Zhao family had really been rewarded by His Majesty. Of course, not only that, he was also given an official rank. Although he was only a fourth-grade official, he was recognized by His Majesty.
Of course, the Zhao family master certainly does not have the ability to help His Highness Pluto, but it is just a coincidence. Perhaps it was because of her master's face that she gave him a fourth-grade official.
Just when Madam heard the news, Yue'er also heard the news.
"What did you say? His Majesty gave my cousin a fourth-grade official title?" Yue'er asked in surprise.
"Yes, Miss. I saw with my own eyes the little eunuch who followed Eunuch Wen carrying large and small boxes of rewards into the Zhao family. It was so lively." said the servant.
"Where's my cousin?" Yue'er asked.
"Young Master Biao has indeed left the capital. He seems to be unaware of the imperial edict. If he had known that His Majesty would issue an imperial edict, he would have stayed in the capital to receive it. In addition, Young Master Biao has not returned home in the past few days and did not return until last night.
Come to Zhao's house," the servant said.
"What has cousin been busy with these days?" Yue'er asked.
"I heard that Young Master Biao has been to Anlinghou Mansion and Hades Mansion in the past few days. I heard that the missing daughter of Anling Hou Mansion has been found. I don't know if it has anything to do with Young Master Biao. Also, Young Master Biao has not been here these past few days.
Live in another courtyard." The servant said.
"Okay, go down." Yue'er said.
Yue'er didn't expect that her cousin would be given an official position by His Majesty when he came back from a trip to Licheng. How did he help His Highness Pluto and get such a reward?
My cousin has been living in another courtyard for the past few days and only returned to the Zhao family last night. It seems that he helped His Highness Pluto a lot, otherwise His Majesty would not have sent so many rewards to the Zhao family.
But, when did my cousin get involved with the Anling Houfu?
Chun'er, who was beside me, saw that the young lady seemed to have something on her mind, so she quickly reminded her, "Miss, it's time for you to dress up. The prince will be here soon."
Yue'er came back to her senses and said, "Please dress me up."
Today, the Crown Prince invited her to go to the lake to admire the moon. Originally, because of her cousin's affairs, she was feeling uncomfortable, so she wanted to refuse. But then she thought about it and she shouldn't be thinking nonsense at this time, so she had to agree to the Crown Prince.
After the Prime Minister returned home, the Prime Minister's wife said to him: "Sir, you heard it. Your Majesty actually rewarded Bin'er and gave him a fourth-grade official."
"I heard about it," said the Prime Minister.
"This time, His Majesty must have done this for your sake. You should make it clear to His Majesty not to reward the Zhao family because of you," said the Prime Minister's wife.
"Didn't we just raid Wen Shangshu's house a few days ago?" the Prime Minister said.
"Well, of course I know about this," the lady said.
"This matter has something to do with Licheng, so the fact that Bin'er received your Majesty's award this time has nothing to do with me." The Prime Minister said.
"Even if there is no relationship, it is just a coincidence. Bin'er can't even do business well, how can he help His Highness Pluto?" said the lady.
"But there is no need for Pluto to lie. He praised Bin'er every time in the court. After hearing this, I was very surprised." The Prime Minister said.
"Is everything you said true?" said the Prime Minister's wife.
"What did I lie to you for? Of course it's true. Even An Linghou was full of praise for him. I don't know how Bin'er met An Linghou." said the prime minister.
"Didn't An Linghou recently say that he found his daughter? Could it be related to Bin'er?" said the lady.
The Prime Minister naturally understands the meaning of Madam's words. This makes sense why An Ling Hou wanted to speak for the young master of the Zhao family during the morning court. Especially since An Ling Hou did not go to court all year round, he felt very upset when he suddenly went to court that day.
Surprised.
He suddenly spoke for the young master of the Zhao family for the first time, and he looked even more confused.
Hearing what his wife said, he seemed to have figured it out. Could it be that the missing daughter was found by the young master of the Zhao family in Licheng?
It's just that although Madam is smart, how could she have thought that the girl from the Anlinghou family was found by the young master of the Zhao family? You must know that she, as an aunt, knows best how much her nephew weighs. She has been idle all day long and has never done anything.
It was a serious matter. So, was it really the daughter he helped An Linghou find?
"Why do you say that?" asked the Prime Minister.
"Master, I know you don't believe you. In fact, I don't believe it either. However, I heard that Bin'er went to Hades Mansion and Anlinghou Mansion after he came back. If this matter has nothing to do with him, why did he show up?
At the Anling Houfu?" said the lady.
"We have never had any contact with the Anling Marquis. Bin'er's sudden visit is indeed very strange. You are right, I am afraid he is really the young lady found in Licheng." The Prime Minister said.
"What a piece of luck. I didn't expect that this useless nephew would be appreciated by His Majesty," the lady said.
"Bin'er is your nephew, you should be happy for him." The Prime Minister said.
"Originally I was happy for him, but didn't I blame my sister-in-law? My sister-in-law knew my plan clearly, even after so many years, but she suddenly encouraged Bin'er to marry Yue'er. Fortunately, our Yue'er has been recognized by the prince.
She will be the crown prince soon. Otherwise, he will still stalk her. But fortunately, he has self-awareness and finally did not come to make trouble this time," said the lady.
"Bin'er has liked Yue'er since he was a child. If he can do business with his father in a down-to-earth manner, I agree with this marriage. At least, he will treat Yue'er wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter if he has no future, he still spends all day.
He only thinks about women. It’s really disappointing. I can’t marry my daughter to him.” The Prime Minister said.
"Master, you are confused. Even if Bin'er is down-to-earth and helps his brother with his business, I don't agree with this marriage. Our Yue'er is going to fly up the branches and become a phoenix. Even the Crown Princess would have wronged her. If there was no Bin
If you make trouble, you may have married into Prince Mo’s Mansion long ago." Madam said.
"I know you are thinking about Yue'er's future, but isn't it good to be like this now? In the future, she will be Princess Rong and enjoy endless glory. What else do you want?" said the Prime Minister.
"We, Yue'er, want our mothers to honor the world, why can we only be princesses?" the lady said without restraint.
The Prime Minister was frightened when he heard this. He immediately stepped forward and covered his wife's mouth, scolding her: "Madam, you can't say these things, you are confused."
The lady opened the Prime Minister's hand and said, "I understand, I understand, why don't you stop talking? Even if you say it now, it won't change the facts."
The Prime Minister's wife just couldn't believe that even the unpromising Zhao Wenbin could be appreciated by His Majesty.
However, her Yue'er had no choice but to compromise and marry the prince as a princess.
However, the couple did not know that Yue'er once plotted against Ye Tianmo. Although he did not succeed, with his temper, how could he easily spare Yue'er? Ye Tianmo just wanted to spare Yue'er for the sake of the Prime Minister.
Save Yue'er's life. Otherwise, Yue'er would have turned into a corpse long ago.

Mr. Zhao's carriage entered Licheng. He first went to the shop and met Uncle Xian.
"Uncle Xian." Mr. Zhao said.
"Master, is this going smoothly?" Uncle Xian asked.
"It went well. My father asked me to stay in the capital for the New Year, so I came back specially to pick up Xu'er." Mr. Zhao said.
"As long as things go well, I will be relieved to see you come back. You really impress me. You have been wronged for so many years," Uncle Xian said.
"I haven't suffered any grievances, but Xu'er has suffered a lot. What my mother did makes me feel very guilty. I can make up for it in my own way," Mr. Zhao said.
"Are you planning to leave early tomorrow morning, or now?" Uncle Xian asked.
"Let Xu'er go back and pack her things first. I'm going to Luo Mansion." Mr. Zhao said.
"Okay, go get busy." Uncle Xian said.
Before Mr. Zhao left, he left a letter to Uncle Xian, telling him everything that happened in Licheng during this period.
They told Uncle Xian, so Uncle Xian understood Mr. Zhao's good intentions. He also understood that Mr. Zhao was not as they knew him to be. In fact, he was a very well-planned person.
Mr. Zhao came out of the inner hall and saw Xu'er who was working. He said to him: "Go back to the other courtyard to pack your things. Let's go back to the capital."
"Didn't father say that we should stay in Licheng for the New Year?" Xuer asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"When I went back to do business, I went back to the capital. After seeing my father, I specifically asked me to take you back." Mr. Zhao said.
"Really?" Xu'er asked.
"What did I lie to you for? You go back to the other courtyard with Da Yi to pack your things first. I want to go to Luo Mansion. After Da Yi, the second young master packs his things, take him to Luo Mansion." Mr. Zhao said.
"Yes, Master." He said carelessly.
So, Da Yi drove the carriage and took the second young master back to the other courtyard, while Mr. Zhao went to Luo Mansion alone.
When the housekeeper saw that the person coming was Mr. Zhao, he hurriedly invited Mr. Zhao in.
"Is your lady here?" Mr. Zhao asked.
"In the past few days, the lady has stayed at home to investigate the accounts and has not gone anywhere," the housekeeper said.
"Tell her that I'll be waiting for her in the front yard," said the young master of the Zhao family.
Soon, the housekeeper invited Mr. Zhao to the front yard, and he quickly went to the study to report to the lady. After hearing the housekeeper's words, Luo Ying immediately put down the account book in his hand and returned to the front yard.
"Brother, it's only been a few days and you're back so soon?" Luo Ying said with a smile.
"Now that the matter is done, I'll come back to see you and take Xu'er back with me." Mr. Zhao said.
"There are no big problems with the accounts, and now the Luo family's business has gradually recovered." Luo Ying said.
"That's good, I'll take Xu'er back to celebrate the New Year, and then come back after the New Year." Mr. Zhao said.
"Don't worry, brother, we will celebrate the New Year together. A few days ago, I made a special trip to the Luo Mansion over there and sent some things to Mrs. Luo. Even though the second uncle is hateful, they are all innocent." Luo
Ying said.
"It's up to you to handle the affairs of the Luo family. It's all left to you anyway. If the elders and clan leaders make things difficult for you, remember to go to Yixiang Pavilion to find Miss Ruyan. She will find a way to inform me." Mr. Zhao said.
"I know brother, they only care about the Luo family's business, so they are naturally very polite to me." Luo Ying said.
"Take care of them. By the way, take these banknotes in case you need them in case of emergencies. Keep them and don't refuse." Mr. Zhao took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and said.
