Soon, the second prince and his party also returned after finding Xuelian. The emperor personally summoned all the officials to wait in the main hall.

As Nangong Yichen, dressed in Xuanyi, entered the palace, all the courtiers greeted him with salutes. "I see you, the regent. May the regent bless me, Yunlan, for eternity!"

After the courtier finished speaking, the emperor's hands curled up slightly in the high hall.

"My dear brother, see my emperor, long live my emperor!" Nangong Yichen took a step forward and said as he saluted the emperor.

The emperor, who was still deep in thought just now, saw this scene and immediately got down from the dragon chair and walked to Nangong Yichennan, holding up Nangong Yichen's saluting hand.

"Royal brother, there is no need to pay such a big gift. I am very pleased that you can come back this time."

"Come here, give the regent a seat," the emperor said as he asked someone to bring a soft chair.

"My dear brother, I would like to thank the emperor for giving me the seat, but I am here to present the treasure I got from the Snow Lotus Pond to my brother." Nangong Yichen said and asked someone to bring over a box.

I saw that the box was made of Mobei ice and was engraved with dragon patterns. As I walked closer, I felt a chill coming into my body.

"What a box carved from ice. It can be packed in a box like this. It shows that the things inside must not be vulgar." The ministers below had already begun to talk about it.

"Come here, open the regent's box and open my eyes."

"Here!" After hearing the emperor's order, Eunuch Cao immediately stepped forward and opened the box.

When I opened the box, the fragrance suddenly overflowed, and I saw a snowdrop lying in the box, blooming like full snow, with petals blooming in layers, and the stamens condensed with pearls, jade and ice-clear.

"Could it be that...this is the legendary century-old snow lotus?" Finally, a courtier recognized it.

"Emperor brother, what is this?" the emperor asked in disbelief.

"Brother Emperor, this is the century-old snow lotus I picked for you. Eating it can not only strengthen your body, but also prolong your life."

"I congratulate your Majesty on the treasure. May your Majesty live forever!" The courtiers congratulated in unison.

"Okay, okay, the emperor has thanked the emperor! Come on, the regent and the second prince have contributed a lot to this trip to find the snow lotus. They are now given a mansion each, ten thousand taels of gold, and fifty pieces of silk. The rest of the people

I'll give you a hundred taels of gold each!" Emperor Tianjing was really happy to see this hundred-year-old snow lotus.

"Long live my emperor!" Everyone thanked him again.

"Royal brother, I have specially prepared a big gift for you today!"

"Now that you have returned to the court and have made great achievements in finding the century-old snow lotus, I have specially given you Ye Qingge, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, to marry you. Are you willing?" Emperor Tianjing asked.

"The emperor is willing, thank you for the marriage," Nangong Yichen replied.

"Okay! Okay! Qin Tianjian, wait until the Ye family's legitimate daughter gets her hairpin, and choose a good and auspicious day for the regent and the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter Ye Qingge!"

"Eunuch Cao, please go down and hold a grand banquet in the palace today to welcome the regent!" Emperor Tianjing originally thought that Nangong Yichen would refuse, but he did not expect that he actually agreed, and it was not in vain for him to waste all his efforts.

"Here!" Eunuch Cao and Qin Tianjian responded at the same time.

On the other side——

Ye Qingge, who was far outside the village, suddenly sneezed twice before he entered the door. Who is plotting against me? Could it be that stunningly handsome man? Hey, forget it, that guy is too scary, or

It's best to stay away from him. At this time, Ye Qingge just wanted to go home and lie down.

Before she even reached the door, she saw a large crowd of people surrounding her courtyard. She was three days late. What happened?

Could it be that something happened to Lin'er? Ye Qingge quickly quickened his pace and walked towards the door.

"Look, the crazy girl is back." Someone in the crowd pointed at Ye Qingge and shouted.

"Sister, sister, you're back." Lin'er let go of Aunt Li's hand and jumped into Ye Qingge's arms with her calves in tears.

"Auntie, what's going on?" Ye Qingge approached and asked Auntie Li.

"Qingge, these are people from the palace who want to see you." Aunt Li pointed at the people wearing palace clothes next to her and said.

"They are here to grant a marriage!" Before those others could say anything, Mrs. Guan said to Ye Qingge first.

Several palace servants who had not spoken yet immediately gave Mrs. Guan a look, and Mrs. Guan was so frightened that she hid behind her.

Marriage? What the hell? The Ye family must have sold her? Ye Qingge was thinking in her heart.

A man in palace clothes walked over. His clothes were different from the others. He seemed to be the head of these people.

"Excuse me, is the person here Ye Qingge, the eldest daughter of the Ye family of the Prime Minister's Palace? This servant is Eunuch Zhuo, who is beside the emperor. He is here today to announce the emperor's will." The leader said.

"I am, what's wrong?" Ye Qingge looked at the man and said.

"Ye Qingge, the eldest daughter of the Ye family in the Prime Minister's Palace, accepts the order." Eunuch Zhuo opened a yellow scroll and spoke in a drake voice.

Everyone in the yard hurriedly knelt down, except Ye Qingge and Lin'er, who stood there blankly. Seeing this, Aunt Li quickly pulled Ye Qingge's sleeves and motioned Ye Qingge to kneel down.

After all, this is an imperial society. Ye Qingge just pulled Lin'er next to him to kneel down to receive the order. Unfortunately, he couldn't kneel firmly and sat down on the ground.

Eunuch Zhuo glanced at Ye Qingge, whose legs were weak, and continued to announce the decree

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: I heard that Ye Qingge, the daughter of Prime Minister Ye Rong, is skillful, generous, gentle and honest, and has good conduct. I am very pleased to hear that now, when the regent Nangong Yichen is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous daughter as his wife.

For the sake of the beauty of a good couple, I specially betroth you to the Regent Nangong Yichen to be my wife. When you are hair-haired, you will be married on a good and auspicious day. I appreciate this!"

Only after Eunuch Zhuo finished the last note did Ye Qingge react.

Marriage grant? Regent? Nangong Yichen?

Don't tell her that he was the scary handsome man that day! If it were true, it would be over. How would you live in the next life?

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?" Lin'er shouted from the side. Ye Qingge slowly stood up. Everyone thought she was too happy.

"Miss Ye, why don't you accept the order quickly?" As expected, she is a girl who grew up in the countryside and has never seen the world. Eunuch Zhuo said while looking at Ye Qingge who was stunned.

"Your Majesty, accept the edict!" Ye Qingge quickly came to his senses and took the edict from Eunuch Zhuo's hand.

The crowd burst into cheers. No one expected that this crazy girl could actually get the emperor's marriage. Everyone was sincerely happy for Ye Qingge.

"This is one hundred taels of silver and ten pieces of silk and satin that your majesty has given to the eldest lady." Eunuch Zhuo watched Ye Qingge accept the imperial edict, and then took two square plates covered with red silk and satin from the guards and gave them to Ye Qingge.

.

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Zhuo." Ye Qingge quickly took the square plate from Eunuch Zhuo. She may not like the regent, but she absolutely cannot dislike the silver. According to the prices here, these one hundred taels are enough for many people in the village.

People live a lifetime.

"Miss, the master has asked us to escort you back to your home." Several people dressed as servants walked up to Ye Qingge and said.
