Yuchi Yan excitedly spun around a few times, then grabbed Qin Huaiyuan's shoulders and patted him hard. "Beloved Official Qin, zhen thanks you! On behalf of the people of Dayan, zhen thanks you for your brilliant plan! "
Qin Huaiyuan hurriedly knelt down and bowed deeply. "This official doesn't dare. As a Dayan official, this official naturally has to think for the people of Dayan. This official only did a little bit of my meager strength. How can I let Your Majesty do this? Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and you need to take care of the entire world. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Your Majesty is busy every day. To be able to share one of Your Majesty's burdens is this official's honor. "
Qin Yining also knelt down and listened to his father's words. In his heart, he secretly remembered his father's flattering words.
However, the Emperor felt a wave of warmth in his heart. His efforts and contributions were acknowledged and understood. This was something that couldn't be happier. When he looked at Qin Huaiyuan, other than being a virtuous official and a good teacher, there was also a sense of mutual appreciation.
"Beloved Official Qin, please rise." Then, he looked at Qin Yining with great praise. "Xuansu has been taught by Beloved Official Qin. She is the most intelligent woman in this dynasty."
Qin Yining hurriedly bowed. "This official's daughter doesn't dare. This official's daughter hasn't seen much of the world. I only know a few things about needlework. How could I dare to receive such praise from Your Majesty?"
When the Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He knew that he wasn't proficient in court affairs. Sometimes, when he looked at things, he couldn't see things as accurately as Qin Yining. If Qin Yining only knew about needlework, then wouldn't he not know anything about needlework as well?
However, the Emperor wasn't a paranoid person and didn't think too much about it. With a solution, Yuchi Yan felt much more relaxed. He then discussed with Qin Yining the matter of setting up the altar tomorrow.
After the discussion, Yuchi Yan and Qin Huaiyuan left together.
Qin Yining escorted him to the door. When they reached the Chuihua Gate, Yuchi Yan didn't forget to turn around and say, "You should go back quickly. There's no need to escort me. There are many flowers and trees here, so there must be a lot of mosquitoes. Later, I will instruct them to make a large veil to cover the entire loft. "
When Eunuch Lu, the palace servants accompanying him, and the imperial bodyguards in front of the door heard this, the way they looked at Qin Yining was different. They were even more respectful than before.
On the other hand, Qin Huaiyuan, Second Old Master, and Third Old Master were all upset. By doing this, could it be that the Emperor wanted to treat their family's daughter as a fan?
After Yuchi Yan left, Qin Yining, Ji Yun, and Qiu Lu went back to rest early.
At this time, in Feng Yi Palace, Empress Li Yanyan was wearing a red nightgown. She was sitting cross-legged on the arhat bed by the window in a daze.
Li mama, who had accompanied her in marriage, advised her in a low voice, "Empress niangniang, don't think too much. His Majesty must have rushed over because there are too many commoners at Xuansu Temple. He was worried that there would be trouble. No matter how beautiful that little hussy of a Family Qin is, she is now a layperson. Moreover, she was personally conferred the title of layperson by His Majesty. What kind of trouble can she cause? No matter what, you are now His Majesty's only Empress. "
Li Yanyan's white hand stroked the long hair that fell in front of her chest. Her eyes were full of sadness and resentment. "Although that's the case, His Majesty's heart is still with that woman. Since the Selection of Consorts, ben gong has seen His Majesty's special treatment of the Qin Clan. Ben gong originally thought that I was only destined to be an imperial concubine. I didn't have the life to compete with the Qin Clan. However, the Heavens took pity on me. Ben gong became the Empress and became His Majesty's only legitimate wife. Since the Heavens have given ben gong such an illustrious husband, why did they let him refuse to change his heart even after the wedding … … "
Li Yanyan thought of His Majesty's delicate features, elegant demeanor, and gentle smile. Her heart felt warm and sour.
Then she thought of how the two of them were about to go to bed. Just as they were about to be intimate, an eunuch suddenly came to report that something had happened at Xuansu Temple. Then His Majesty abandoned her without saying anything and left … …
Li Yanyan's burning heart felt like it had fallen into an ice hole.
His Majesty wasn't just her husband. She knew that His Majesty didn't belong to her alone.
However, it was fine if the imperial concubines in the palace fought with her. How could she allow a layperson to fight with her?
She picked up the mirror and looked at her gentle features under the light. Then she thought of Qin Yining's beautiful appearance that made her, a woman, greedy to look at him. Her heart was sour and jealous. Even if she had a good impression of Qin Yining before, it was gone now.
"It seems that ben gong needs to let His Majesty know her identity."
Hearing this, Li mama smiled and said, "Niangniang is the mother of the country. It's natural for you to teach a little layperson a lesson. Moreover, Ning Wang's life is in danger now. The only person who can be the commander-in-chief against Da Zhou is Duke Guogong. His Majesty has many things to rely on Duke Guogong. Empress is Duke Guogong's beloved daughter. His Majesty naturally treats you differently. "
Li Yanyan just smiled when she heard this. There was helplessness in her smile, but also pride in her mother's strength.
At this time, the eunuch who was guarding outside came in, "Niangniang, His Majesty has returned to the palace."
Li Yanyan hurriedly stood up, "Quickly, prepare for ben gong."
The eunuch saw that the Empress was in high spirits and hurriedly said the second half of the sentence, "Replying niangniang, after His Majesty came back, he went to Yangxin Hall to rest. He told niangniang not to wait."
Li Yanyan's smile suddenly froze on her face. It took a lot of effort not to show her disappointment. Instead, she waved her hand in a dignified manner and said, "I know. You may leave."
After His Majesty went to see the Qin Clan, he didn't even want to look at her after he came back …
The jealousy in Li Yanyan's heart was about to ignite her whole body.

The news that the Holy Maiden was going to hold an altar to question the heavens had spread.
Master Zhong, the disguised Huzi, and Mu Jinghu, who was dressed in a green robe, left the door early in the morning and headed towards the courtyard.
They felt that they left early, but who would have thought that there were already many people gathered in front of the courtyard. It was obvious that they had been waiting for a long time.
It was boring to wait, but it wasn't convenient to squeeze in if they left. The three of them could only talk in low voices to pass the time while waiting for the courtyard to open and the ceremony to begin.
Who would have thought that just after Chenzheng, the clear sky suddenly started to rain. The rain wasn't heavy, but it didn't stop falling. It was very annoying.
The people had nowhere to hide from the rain, but they didn't want to leave. Fortunately, the rain wasn't heavy, and it was still hot in the summer. It wasn't unbearable.
Finally, the courtyard's door was opened.
Someone shouted, "Everyone, don't push. It's still the same old rules. If the Holy Maiden has something to say, someone will naturally spread it out to let the people outside know. Therefore, it's the same whether we enter the Xuansu Temple or not. Everyone, don't step on each other and don't offend the Holy Maiden …"
The commoners had come here to see how the "Saintess" would set up the altar to inquire about the heavens. The people in front were naturally anxious to enter and find a good spot. The people behind also followed suit and crowded in.
Master Zhong, Huzi, and Mu Jinghu were squeezed so hard that their hats fell off, their clothes were crooked, and Huzi's fake beard was almost squeezed off.
After some effort, the three of them finally stood on the arch bridge. From afar, they could see that a hundred Daoist nuns were sitting in a circle in the square. In the middle of the circle, there were already incense tables and offerings.
