Princess Lin An was the Emperor's Di Younger Sister.
She is sixteen now.
The Empress Dowager had always been worried about her marriage. She had met many people, but none of them had caught her eye.
She wanted to wait for this year's imperial examinations to come out before looking for young people.
He didn't expect that she would really take a fancy to one.
The Empress Dowager had specially sent people to inquire about this fifteen-year-old zhuangyuan. This zhuangyuan had always been number one.
During the provincial examination, he had caught the eye of the Grand Tutor because of his brilliant essay.
The Empress Dowager was not an ordinary woman in the inner courtyard. In the Imperial Palace, there was basically nothing that could be hidden from her except the Emperor.
During the court examinations, the zhuangyuan's thesis shocked all the examiners.
This was a young man full of knowledge and experience.
Especially when the Empress Dowager found Princess Lin An and stood on the city tower to watch the zhuangyuan parade the streets.
Not to mention the Princess of Lin An, even the Empress Dowager herself was shocked by this handsome scholar.
Later, the Empress Dowager specially went to the Grand Tutor and found that the Grand Tutor also had the intention of betrothing her granddaughter to Fourth Young Master Ye. She immediately sent someone to tell the Emperor about it.
She didn't expect that she had waited until now, but the Emperor didn't announce the edict. The Empress Dowager couldn't wait any longer and directly came to find the Emperor.
She was afraid that if she waited any longer, with the way the zhuangyuan was acting, she was afraid that they would soon get engaged.
Duan Yunxiu was sitting in front of the table. When he saw the Empress Dowager, he stood up and bowed.
When he heard the Empress Dowager's words, his pair of cold eyes sank, "I have already decided on the marriage in Lin 'an. The current top student, Li Tianxu, is 20 years old and concentrates on studying. He has no wife or concubine and there are no harsh elders in his family. His age is just right for Lin' an. I have drafted the imperial edict. Mother, can you take a look?"
Saying this, he waved his hand to have someone bring the imperial edict to the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager immediately frowned. "Why is it Ranked Eye? I think that zhuangyuan is very good, Lin 'an is also very fond of him. "
"Muhou, you don't know," Duan Yunxiu narrowed his eyes, his slender fingers taking down the imperial edict, "That zhuangyuan is not suitable to marry."
"Why is it not suitable?" The Empress Dowager didn't expect that the Emperor would lie to her, "Could it be that Grand Tutor married Ye Jiayi before me? He sure is fast. "
After all, he also doted on Lin 'an.
However, the Empress Dowager did not expect that there would always be some people who met another person, and all their principles would have to be discounted.
"He …" Duan Yunxiu lowered his eyes. When he heard that Grand Tutor and others also had ideas about the zhuangyuan, he paused. "It's not suitable. He's about to go to the frontier with General Yang. Do you have the heart to let him suffer in Lin 'an?"
"Frontier? You want him to go to the battlefield? " The Empress Dowager looked as if she had seen a ghost. Seeing that the Emperor was not joking, she asked carefully, "Did this scholar offend you?"
This was something that had never happened before.
Offend him? How could this be? However, this was because this Minister of Zhuangyuan was not just a pure scholar. His military tactics were even better than Yang Ziji's.
Yang Ziji begged him for a long time, and Ye Shaohua also had this idea. She had long wanted to go out of the capital to have a good time, but Duan Yunxiu did not let go.
Who would have thought that he would relent because of this matter?
Duan Yunxiu was irritated. When he heard the Empress Dowager's question, he directly replied: "Yes, he provoked me, so I will send him to the battlefield. Muhou, are you sure you still want to marry Lin 'an to him?"
The Empress Dowager hesitated this time.
She did not expect this situation. A Prince in law was naturally good, but a Prince in law that offended the Emperor.
She thought for a long time before shaking her head. "No, I will look at this Li Tianxu's situation. If it is okay, then it is him."
However, she might have to go back and persuade the Princess of Lin An. It was obvious that her eyes were glued to the scholar that day.
The next day, the Emperor's imperial edict was sent down.
What shocked everyone was that the second ranked scholar, Li Tianxu, was recruited as a Prince in law and was a sixth rank official in the Hanlin Academy. It could be said that he soared to the sky in one move.
Tan Hua was also a sixth rank official.
Even Ye Shaoming, who was ranked fourteenth, was awarded a seventh rank official position. It was not easy to have this civil position at the age of eighteen and it was easy to be promoted.
Ye Jin went to Mei Yiniang's courtyard again. Hearing that Mei Yiniang was not in the courtyard, she could not help but go to Ye shi.
She heard the news that Ye Shaoming was promoted to an official. "Third Younger Sister will first congratulate Eldest Older Brother. In the future, you can enter the court with Father and become an official."
Ye Jin said with a smile and was very likable.
Old Furen felt somewhat strange. "Then what about Brother Hua? He is the zhuangyuan and the second ranked scholar is a sixth rank official. Is he not going to be a fifth rank official?"
A fifteen-year-old fifth rank official was the first one in the Heavenly Empire.
Old Furen was very excited just thinking about it.
Hearing Old Furen's words, Ye Shaoming's smile became a lot more. "I heard from the Daren who announced the imperial edict said that Fourth Younger Brother will be sent to the border with Young General Yang. Recently, the Barbarians are stirring up trouble again."
"What? Sent to the border? "Old Furen was stunned.
Ye Jin was stunned for a moment and her heart suddenly became happy. However, she knew that she could not show it and only said worriedly, "Previously I heard that His Majesty intended to recruit Fourth Younger Brother as a Prince in law. How come he is now sent to the border? When will he be back? "
Ye Shaoming shook his head, "I also do not know, but he will not return in a short period of time."
These days, as the eldest son, Ye Shaoming was suppressed by Ye Shaohua, the concubine's son, and could not lift his head. He did not expect that Ye Shaohua would be rejected by His Majesty after he passed the examination.
Being sent to the border, not to mention anything else, he did not know whether he could come back alive. Ye Shaoming had always felt very happy in his heart.
