"Hahaha!"

Haha …" Lin Yue laughed madly, feeling extremely comfortable in his heart. He pulled Zheng Wan to his side, and enjoyed all of the officials' kneeling, with no trace of fear or dread on his face.

"It's done!?"

The feeling in his heart was unimaginable. It was just that when facing the Spirit Sword that was resting on Lin Yue's neck, he had no choice but to lower his head and temporarily restrain his anger.

"Scram!" Lin Yue coldly snorted, he did not want to go overboard, if he were to kill the governor of Tianxuan City, then he would not be able to continue participating in this trip of the Leader Board.

The Grand Master felt a great sense of relief. He quickly helped the Prefecture Overseer stand up and retreated. The other silver-armored warriors carried the corpses of their comrades away and quickly left the room.

As he was walking down the stairs, the Prefecture Overseer turned his head and stared at the complacent Lin Yue and Zheng Wan. His eyes were filled with malice.

Why would Lin Yue be afraid of him? In this world, the strong preys on the weak. If the other party still wanted to take revenge against him, he wouldn't hesitate at all.

"Oh, Lord Prefect, why are you here too?" Suddenly, three eunuchs came up from below. The leader wore a light purple official robe and was dressed like a leader. He held his horsetail whisk as he greeted the Prefecture Overseer with a smile.

When the Prefecture Overseer saw the eunuch who had arrived, his eyes narrowed and changed into a smile. He did not dare to be arrogant and cupped his hands in greeting as he cried out, "Eunuch Hu, this official is here on my orders. May I know why this eunuch is here?"

Eunuch Hu laughed and said: "What a coincidence, I am here on the orders of the honored tutor to tell Young Master Lin about the following arrangements of the Leader Board."

"Hmm? "Lord Tutor?" The Prefecture Overseer frowned, feeling extremely shocked. The current Tutor Wei Qianqing had a lot of power and influence, much more than the ones in the Marquis Lingxiao, and he was even more important to the Monarch. He could control the general affairs of the Leader Board this time, and such a person would actually take care of Lin Yue?

"The honored tutor is busy with his work, why would he pay attention to this kid?" The Prefecture Overseer was perplexed as he asked.

Hearing the governor's tone, Eunuch Hu paused for a moment, then revealed a smile. He lowered his head and said, "Eunuch is joking, this Young Master Lin is after all, a participant in the Leader Board this time. The Imperial Tutor was just a little interested in his introduction, he didn't have any other intentions … If you are busy, please leave first, we still have to talk to Young Master Lin about something. "

The Prefecture Overseer nodded, led the Grand Master and the silver-armored knight down the stairs and left.

Eunuch Hu's expression turned cold as he looked at the back of the Prefecture Overseer and the people killed on the backs of the silver-armored riders following behind him. He swore in a low voice, "The Imperial Tutor still dares to make a move on a person he values. He is truly reckless!"

The two eunuchs by his side spoke in a low voice, "With the Crown Prince supporting him, he has never been concerned about anyone else."

"Humph!" Sooner or later, we'll make him pay! "

Eunuch Hu let out a cold snort, then brought his two subordinates upstairs, personally reporting to Lin Yue about the following arrangements.

"..." She then heard that Ye Xiao was Yue Ye and she was worried about Empty Mountain … It has the high standard of six dragons, the backward-breaking of downstream echo... ".

The sounds of quiet and serene reading emanated from a pavilion. The nearby rock garden, pond water, peach trees, and bamboo forest were all extremely pleasing to the ear.

In the pavilion, Qin Yao read a few pages of the thick ancient scroll, then placed it on the side and drank a mouthful of tea.

At this time, in a distant corridor, several maids were holding a large fan embroidered with a phoenix. Underneath the fan was a middle-aged woman wearing a phoenix robe.

Seeing the person that had arrived, Qin Yao's face revealed a happy expression. He ran out of the pavilion and welcomed him from afar, shouting, "Mother, why have you come!"

The woman was none other than Imperial Consort Qing from the Eastern Tang Empire, one of the three great imperial concubines that the Emperor doted on.

The Imperial Consort Qing's family was known as the Li Clan, and was one of the eight great clans within the Eastern Tang. They had deep roots, were close to Monarchs, and were incomparably loyal to the Qin Emperor.

Seeing his daughter come over, Imperial Consort Qing's dignified expression faded to reveal her love. She raised her hand to stroke Qin Yao's hair and said in a warm voice, "Mother hasn't seen you these past few days, come over to take a look. Why are you reading those books again?"

Qin Yao laughed, and said: "Mother, that is a classic scroll left behind by our Eastern Tang Ancestor, even if you read it ten thousand times, it is not considered much."

"You ah, if you tell your father these words, he might be very happy, but after mother hears it, she will not feel good." You, ah, if you tell your father these words, he might be very happy, but after mother heard it, she will not feel good.

"Pu ci." Qin Yao smiled charmingly and said, "Mother, then don't you often discipline my royal father?"

He did not hide anything from his own daughter as he arrogantly said: "How can that be lacking? When we were just married, and he did not know how to go up, was it not my mother who took out a duster? "However, since his talent was good and he started to cultivate seriously, I was no longer able to defeat him. Thus, I could not use the most effective method, and had to think about other things."

Qin Yao and the Imperial Consort Qing spoke as they walked forward. They sat in the pavilion, looked at the scenery around them and spoke about intimate matters.

Slowly, the sun began to set in the horizon. Stars began to rise into the sky, and a circle of moonlight shined down onto the small pavilion.

The Imperial Palace had long since been lit up by torches, illuminating the entire place. The veranda was illuminated by the candlelight, and the brilliant red color was very distinct.

Those palace maids were all guarding the small pavilion, and only Qin Yao and Imperial Consort Qing were talking to each other inside.

At this time, a praying light rose from the sky and slowly rose into the air. It floated between the buildings and then fell down.

After chatting for an entire afternoon, no matter how stupid Qin Yao was, she was still able to tell that there was something on Imperial Consort Qing's mind. It was as if she wanted to say something to him, but was unwilling to say it.

It was only at this time that Qin Yao asked this question. Only then did Imperial Consort Qing look deeply at her daughter.

"Mother, tell me, even if it's not good news, your daughter is not afraid." Qin Yao smiled, she was very sensible.

Imperial Consort Qing muttered to herself for a moment, before finally steeling her heart, as she faintly said: "Yao Yao, you should be seventeen this year, right? At this age, you should consider the major event of your marriage."

Qin Yao's heart tightened. Indeed, she had faintly felt such a possibility from Imperial Consort Qing's words.

"Daughters aren't big, either," she said.

Imperial Consort Qing nodded her head, and said: "Amongst all the princes and princesses, seventeen years old is not very old, the Empress's eldest daughter has already gone over a hundred, and has not married yet. It is just that your cultivation is not high enough, and cannot reach that stage.

Qin Yao lowered his head quietly in silence. After a while, she raised his head again and asked with a smile: "Then, who should I marry?"

Even though the Imperial Consort Qing felt extremely pained, she still said it out loud: "Your royal father gave you two choices. One, you should tie the knot and marry the Great Wei Emperor's eldest grandson, Wei Wuji, to the north …"

The Great Wei Empire was also one of the Eternal Emperors. The Emperor's surname was Wei, and Wei Wuji was twenty-two this year. With exceptional talent, he was seen as a strong contender for the future heir of the Great Wei Empire.

"And the second?" Qin Yao asked.

"The second, is to pick from the young people of the Leader Board …"

The moonlight was clear, but Qin Yao still had a smile on her face, but her eyes became sad and bitter, her talent was not good enough, her cultivation was not good, and she could only marry early, no one could blame him.
