As the real helmsman of the Yan Empire, the eldest princess Ji Yurong was worried about the country and the country. Since King Yan Jicheng was not in good health and her future was worrying, she also considered who should have a successor, so she said: "Your Majesty, we are getting married now.
The future queen is about to be beautiful and smart. After consummating your marriage, you must work harder to give birth to a prince as soon as possible so that the Yan Kingdom can be passed down for generations to come. “
As an aunt, Ji Yurong didn't know that her nephew had lost certain abilities, and she still expected Ji Cheng to continue the family line.
A hint of imperceptible anger flashed in Qiu Yu's eyes, and he secretly blamed his godmother for being troublesome. He couldn't help but curse, Qingxin is my woman, how could I let a pig like Ji Cheng fall in love with her!
Ji Cheng was embarrassed by his words, and it was difficult to tell the truth. How embarrassing it would be, so he could only bite the bullet and agree, "Don't worry, aunt, I will try my best."
Ji Yurong nodded with a smile. Now that her nephew was about to get married, she could comfort the spirit of the late king in heaven. It also made her feel a big thing in her heart. She said sincerely: "Your Majesty, look at how beautiful the princess of Qin is. Can you marry her?"
She is so lucky to be a queen."
"Well, I guess so." Ji Cheng responded perfunctorily.
Seeing her nephew's attitude, Ji Yurong frowned. She felt a little bored and didn't want to stay any longer, so she said, "Your Majesty, please rest, Xiaoyu, let's go back too."
Ji Cheng wished that her aunt would leave early so that she could be in peace, so she hurriedly said: "Farewell to my aunt."
Ji Yurong snorted, stood up and dragged her long skirt away, as if she had the aura of a queen, followed by her adopted son Qiu Yu, and the two of them walked slowly out of the palace.
At dusk, the mother and son returned to the princess's mansion. Ji Yurong ordered her servants to prepare a banquet, specially to cleanse her adopted son. For her, Xiaoyu was not only a sensible and filial child, but also a capable subordinate, equivalent to her right-hand man, helping him.
She solved many difficult problems.
The banquet was set up in the dormitory. As Ji Yurong waved her hand, several palace maids withdrew knowingly. Only she and her adopted son were left in the room. Their bright eyes looked over and fell on Qiu Yu's face. Ji Yurong
He said in a deep voice: "Xiaoyu, if I ask you something, you must tell the truth and not tell any lies."
Ever since he got married to the future queen of Yan Kingdom, Qiu Yu seemed to be harboring evil intentions. When facing his godmother, he was inevitably a little uncomfortable, for fear of being seen through. Now he felt even more guilty, thinking that his mother had revealed some clues, so he felt that way.
nervous.
Fortunately, this boy had a certain psychological quality, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Mom, please ask me, I will definitely tell you the truth."
"Why are you injured? Are you in danger during your mission to Qin?" Ji Yurong asked with great concern.
It turned out that as a godmother, she cared deeply for her adopted son and noticed that Qiu Yu was still injured, so she asked about it. She was also afraid that Xiao Yu would not tell the truth because of her worries, so she ordered him not to lie.
The tense nerves relaxed in an instant, and Qiu Yu finally felt relieved, so he recounted his experiences in the Qin State, explaining his experience of fighting against Young Master Ying, but hiding the original reason. After all, that incident
Because of the beauty Meng Yaru, a series of reactions arose.
"What, you had a duel with Mo Ying?" Ji Yurong had a look of surprise on her charming face. She found it unbelievable, because she had also heard of the name Young Master Ying. As the person with the highest cultivation level among the young generation of Qin State, he was naturally very powerful.
Remarkable.
Qiu Yu nodded and said with a wry smile: "I'm not talented, I couldn't beat this guy, and the final result was that I was seriously injured, and I haven't recovered yet."
Knowing the truth of the matter, Ji Yurong couldn't help but feel angry, with a livid look on her charming face, and said angrily: "In the final analysis, that King of Qin is really shameless, what do you think of you? After all, you are also an envoy of our Great Yan Kingdom, and he was granted the title of Marquis Lingyun.
How dare you treat me like this is really abominable."
My godmother still cares about me! Qiu Yu felt warm in her heart and pretended to be relaxed: "It's nothing. How can you not bow your head under the roof of a human being? In order to achieve the goal of marrying the princess of Qin, it doesn't matter even if the child endures hardships."
.”
Such remarks won Ji Yurong's approval. His face softened a little, and he nodded: "You are able to put national affairs first, regardless of personal safety, and you have done a very good job. Originally, my mother was worried that you would be arrogant due to your high position, but now it seems
You are worrying too much, you have a strong character and must be put to good use."
In Qiu Yu's heart, there was no difference between the other party and his mother. He said modestly: "Mom, thank you for your praise. In fact, I didn't think much about it. Anyway, the tasks you assigned must be completed."
"Very good, my mother saw you right. How is it? Does the injury still hurt?"
"Don't worry, I'm much better..."
Through Qiu Yu's performance on his mission to Qin, Ji Yurong was even more impressed. Now that the adopted son has endured humiliation and shouldered the burden to complete the mission, he should be rewarded. Otherwise, he would have been injured in vain, which would easily make this kid feel chilled!
On the next day, the eldest princess went to the palace in person to discuss with her nephew Jicheng, and wanted to reward Qiu Yu heavily. King Yan obeyed his aunt, especially Qiu Yu who was his financial sponsor, and he had to rely on her talent for elixirs.
Enjoy life and don’t dare to have opinions.
In the afternoon, King Yan summoned all the civil and military officials and announced in public that Qiu Yu would be granted the title of Duke of Wind and Cloud and rewarded with 100,000 gold coins, which shocked many ministers. In this way, Qiu Yu's status would be even more noble and elevated to a higher level.
Upstairs.
The rank of Duke is higher, and they are awarded to those who have made great contributions to the country. There are only a few people alive in the entire Yan Kingdom who can enjoy such treatment, and they are all important ministers who are in their 70s, 80s or over 100 years old.
, and how old is Qiu Yu? He was named Duke at the age of twenty-five, which was a first in the entire history of the Yan Kingdom and had no precedent.
Unexpectedly, he was made a Duke and his status rose again. Qiu Yu was very happy, but money was no longer necessary for him. All he had was gold. These 100,000 gold coins were definitely a fortune for others.
It was a huge sum of money, but it was nothing to him and he didn't take it seriously.
Just above the main hall, Qiu Yu thanked the Holy Spirit for his grace and immediately stated that he would donate 100,000 gold coins to remote areas of the Yan Kingdom to contribute his small amount to the people's livelihood.
This move shocked all the civil and military officials. One hundred thousand gold coins were actually donated like this. This man was really unusual, treating money like dirt.
The officials respected Qiu Yuyu very much, and they all felt that this son was a pillar of talent, with an unlimited future and no one could compare with him.
In fact, they really didn't understand this kid. Qiu Yu himself also loved money. When he ransacked Prince Yun's mansion before, he secretly hid a lot of gold and silver jewelry, making a huge fortune.
