Fortunately, she said something, otherwise if the emperor asked about it, she would have to bear some of the anger for the Wei family.

Thinking of this, she also remembered the Wei family.

The emperor's expression became better now. He looked at the pile of memorials beside him and sighed, "Beichuan cannot do without the Su family. Su Qiruo must shoulder the responsibility of the Su family."

The Su family enjoys prestige in Beichuan, and Su Qiruo has a deep hatred for the Tartars. No one is more suitable to guard Beichuan than her.

If he is really just a playboy, it would be fine to keep him in Kyoto, but the emperor would still have to take the trouble to find someone from the court to replace Duke Su in guarding the North Gate.

But if Su Qi can take on the important task, the emperor will be happy and at ease.

As long as the Beichuan Su family is loyal, she is willing to give them a little more respect.

The senior palace maid bowed and did not dare to respond to the emperor.

The emperor can decide whether Su Shinu stays or goes, but if someone else speaks up, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion.

Having served the emperor for so many years, no one knows the emperor's temper better than her.

Even if she wanted to speak for Su Shinu, she should save it for the critical moment.

"Afu."

"The servant is here."

"Bring the imperial edict."

Su Qiruo accompanied the princess for dinner before returning to Prime Minister Si's residence, where Si Qianling brought her admission certificate.

"Why so fast?"

Su Qiruo remembered that both the Queen and the Crown Princess had said that it would take three days to get the result.

"You are the only one who entered the Imperial College halfway this year, so the teachers will review the examination papers faster."

Their teacher didn't come to teach in the morning. He just assigned them the task of practicing calligraphy and left. I think Cai Jijiu called them to mark the papers. "Then I will go to school with you tomorrow."

After saying that, Su Qiruo asked Su Yun to come in and asked her to write a letter to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she would not accompany her to visit the capital tomorrow.

The emperor also granted the princess three days of leave, but it seems that it will not be needed.

The next morning, the whole capital was talking about what happened at the gate of the Imperial College yesterday.

Those who had laughed at the orphan Su Qiruo behind her back no longer dared to mock her out loud. They had only said that before in order to suppress the Beichuan Su family who was too high up. But really, who has the qualifications to ridicule the descendant of a meritorious official?

  Especially what Su Qiruo said. If they dared to talk nonsense again, and Su Shinu really came with the Su family's gun to ask them for advice, who could be her opponent?

Su Qiruo had just finished her breakfast and had not yet had time to leave the house when the imperial edict from the palace arrived.

The person who came to announce the decree was Aunt Afu, the chief palace maid beside the emperor.

The Prime Minister's Mansion got busy, setting up tables to receive orders, and everyone in the mansion arrived.

Even Prime Minister Si did not expect that the Emperor would issue an imperial decree to inherit the title so early. Su Qiruo is now the youngest Duke Protector of the Country in the history of Northern Yan.

On the other hand, the imperial decree to reprimand Wei Ziyao and Wei Zinian had also been delivered. The emperor was clearly slapping Marquis Shun'an in the face.

Marquis Shun'an knelt there with a pale face and listened to the emperor's oral instructions, and the words of the palace maid who delivered the order kept echoing in his ears.

"Marquis Shun'an, the emperor asked you to discipline your children well. Don't forget your original intention."

  What's the original intention?

She only remembered that when the emperor conferred the title of Shun'an Marquis on her, he asked her, "My dear, do you know what I mean?"

She knelt down and replied: "I know, and I will not let Your Majesty down."

Everything will go smoothly, everything will go smoothly.

If things don't go well, you will naturally feel uneasy.

  The emperor is warning her!

Shun'an Hou then ordered his men to beat Wei Ziyao with 20 boards and put him in the ancestral hall, where he had to kneel for three days and three nights to reflect on his mistakes before he could come out. (End of this chapter)
