The Prodigal Son

Qin Yu and Luo Qingyi chatted until very late.

During his absence, Luo Qingyi also took over a significant portion of the Luo family's original business.

However, Luo Qingyi was also afraid of arousing Zhao Luan's suspicion, so she deliberately held back and did not dare to take too big a step.

Around midnight, Luo Qingyi, who had been taken advantage of by Qin Yu, finally returned to her room to rest.

Originally, Qin Yu wanted to hold her while she slept.

But she was afraid that Qin Yu wouldn't be able to resist, and she was also afraid that she wouldn't be able to resist, so she didn't dare to grant Qin Yu's wish.

She knew in her heart that if Qin Fumeng found out that she and Qin Yu had consummated their marriage, he would definitely not let her off the hook.

Even though Qin Yu had secretly told her that he and Nan Que'er had consummated their marriage, it still didn't work.

Nan Que'er did it to save Qin Yu's life, so anything she did is understandable.

But she can't!

She needs to always be aware of her place.

Qin Yu slept soundly, feeling utterly depressed. Before dawn, Luo Qingyi knocked on the door and helped him put on the official robes of a seventh-rank scholar.

Qin Yu ate something quickly and then took Qi Dachui to court.

When he arrived outside the Zichen Hall, many ministers were already there.

"Look, our Wenquxing (a legendary Chinese dictionary) is here!"

"Qin Yu, you've done a great service to the imperial court this time!"

"You've been keeping it well hidden, haven't you!"

"You're such a jerk! You clearly had a plan to defeat the enemy, but you refused to tell us, making us worry for ages!"

"Hmm, not bad, not bad! At least you didn't embarrass Qin Laohu..."

Upon seeing Qin Yu, many officials who already had a good relationship with the Qin family greeted him warmly.

Some were pleased, while others made fun of it.

Even some officials who had previously been forced to lend money by Qin Yu changed their attitude and smiled at him.

Although His Majesty has not yet announced how to reward Qin Yu, everyone knows that the reward for Qin Yu this time will certainly be substantial.

Now, Qin Fumeng is highly valued, and Qin Yu is skilled in both literature and martial arts.

As long as Zhao Luan doesn't suspect the Qin family, the Qin family will surely soar to new heights!

However, Song Zhuo and the others had no interest in joking around.

It's been a whole night!

I wonder if Zhao Luan has figured it out yet.

If she still refuses Zhao Yan's marriage proposal, there's likely to be trouble in Yinzhou!

Ugh!

Unexpectedly!

Qin Yucai expanded the territory of Da Ning, but Da Ning is now facing internal and external troubles again!

Why can't they all stay still?

"My lords, please don't humiliate me!"

Qin Yu chuckled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the crowd. "If you ask me, the greatest contributor to this battle is His Majesty! It's thanks to His Majesty's foresight and foresight that he bestowed upon me a gold medal; otherwise, you probably wouldn't be seeing me today..."

Although he hadn't met Zhao Luan yet, Qin Yu had already started flattering her.

However, this is nothing short of flattery!

Without the imperial gold medal, the battle of Chenzhou would not have been so easy!

Hearing Qin Yu's words, many people secretly gave him a thumbs up.

The younger generation is truly formidable!

His flattery skills are truly exceptional!

Just as everyone was secretly sighing, Lü Chunqiu and his son appeared in their sight.

Lu Si wasn't wearing armor today; like Qin Yu, he was wearing the official robes of a seventh-rank official.

The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix exchanged a glance, but showed no surprise whatsoever.

It was as if the other person was simply meant to be there.

"Lu Si, I didn't expect you to be such a hidden master!"

Upon seeing Lü Si, an official from the Ministry of War immediately began to tease him: "Tell us quickly, how did you manage to kill over 150 people in battle?"

"Yes, yes!"

Xue Chengdao, unusually, also chimed in, "I want to know too!"

As Xue Chengdao spoke, the others joined in the teasing.

I wonder which bastard came up with this terrible idea to Lü Si.

Even if we give Lü Si a credit for devising a plan, it would be more reliable than some bullshit credit for killing more than 150 people!

If you put 150 scarecrows there for him, he'd piss on them for ages!

Faced with everyone's teasing, Lü Si strangely showed a "shy" demeanor, and didn't know what to say for a long time.

You can't exactly say he was actually cheering from behind, can you?

"Go! Go! Go!"

Lu Chunqiu stepped forward to defend his son, saying, "This is my son's first time attending court; he's a little reserved. Please don't frighten him!"

Lü Chunqiu's life has been getting better lately.

The lady is pregnant, and this wicked beast has finally gained face.

The series of happy events brought a lot more smiles to his face.

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing Lü Chunqiu's words, everyone burst into laughter.

Is Lü Si reserved?

Dogs don't believe it!

Just as everyone was laughing, the eunuch on duty announced loudly that the court assembly had begun.

The officials then stopped questioning Lü Si and stepped into the Zichen Hall.

Qin Yu and Lü Si, the two little karami, naturally came to the back of the line.

"The Martial Star is indeed exceptionally powerful!"

Qin Yuchong and Lü Si gave each other a thumbs up.

Lu Si was slightly taken aback, then clasped his hands in a rather imposing gesture towards Qin Yu: "Even the God of Literature has an imposing presence!"

"Get the hell out of here!"

Qin Yu chuckled and cursed, then followed Lü Si to the very back of the line. Together with everyone else, he bowed to Zhao Luan on the throne, and then obediently stood at the back.

Compared to Qin Yu, who was attending court for the second time, Lü Si was more nervous on his first visit to court.

However, Lü Si had a good attitude.

He already told his father yesterday how he got his credit.

Instead of scolding him, his father surprisingly praised him, saying that he wasn't exaggerating his achievements.

He killed more than 150 people in battle, that's for sure!

The enemies killed by his guards should be attributed to him!

Zhao Luan seemed to have shaken off the gloom in his heart. His gaze swept over Qin Yu and Lü Si, and a smile appeared on his face. "It's rare for the two stars of literature and martial arts of my Great Ning to gather in the court. You two, stop hiding and quickly step forward so that I and the ministers can have a good look at you!"

Upon hearing Zhao Luan's words, the assembled officials almost burst out laughing, turning their heads to look at Qin Yu and Lü Si at the back of the procession.

Faced with Zhao Luan's teasing, Qin Yu twisted his hips and knocked Lü Si out of the line.

Lu Si instinctively wanted to curse, but then suddenly realized that they were in the imperial court, so he quickly swallowed his curse and gave Qin Yu a furious look.

Seeing that Qin Yu did not step forward, Zhao Luan immediately suppressed her smile and said sternly, "Qin Yu! Do I have to invite you?"

"what?"

Qin Yu paused for a moment, then asked knowingly, "Did His Majesty address me?"

Zhao Luan glared at Qin Yu. "You're the God of Literature, who else should I call if not you?"

They're putting on quite a good act!

Did he think he didn't understand his little scheme?

"Your Majesty is joking."

Qin Yu quickly chuckled dryly, "Elder Su is the literary champion of our Great Ning. If we're talking about who the God of Literature is, it has to be Elder Su!"

Su Yu glared at Qin Yu with a smile, "Don't try to flatter me, kid. I can't accept that!"

That little bastard!

Just like his shitty grandpa!

They're all no good!

Still trying to use yourself as a shield?

"Alright! Everyone in the world knows who the God of Literature and the God of War are."

Zhao Luan raised his hand to stop Qin Yu and Su Yu, and slowly said, "In this rebellion in Chenzhou, the Wenquxing and Wuquxing have made great contributions to the court! I have always been fair in rewarding and punishing! Qin Yu, Lü Si, step forward to receive my decree!"

So direct?

Qin Yu was slightly surprised, and was forced to follow Lü Si a few steps forward...
