After reading the gifts, the two sat down and talked.

Zhao Wangshu honestly told Ma Qiaoqiao about shooting her with an arrow and causing her injury. If he didn't tell her, Tianying would definitely report it.

Yun Hao's face turned gloomy when he heard it, and murderous intent suddenly arose in his chest. However, he was afraid of scaring Zhao Wangshu, so he suppressed his anger and asked with concern: "Is your injury healed?"

"The injury is healed, but there is a scar left." Zhao Wangshu pouted.

Yun Hao gently stroked Zhao Wangshu's hair and said softly: "I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you."

Zhao Wangshu shook his head, "It's not your fault, you weren't there."

"I will avenge you." Yun Hao's eyes flashed with a stern voice.

"She is so unscrupulous because of her father's power." Zhao Wangshu raised his eyebrows proudly, "I have asked Tianying to collect evidence of Weiyuan Marquis."

"Once Marquis Weiyuan falls, Ma Qiaoqiao will have nothing to fear."

Yun Hao smiled and nodded, "That's right. To capture the thief, capture the king first."

The two chatted for a long time, until the sun gradually set in the west, and Luzhi said outside the door: "Mr. Yun, miss, my wife wants you to have dinner in the front hall."

Zhao Wangshu and Yun Hao got up and went to the front hall together. Dinner was already prepared, and the table was full of delicacies, and the aroma was overflowing.

"Yunhao, come and sit down. Today I asked them to cook a table of delicious dishes, all of which are your favorites." Zhao Li greeted warmly,

When Zhao Cui saw Yun Hao, she said, "Hao'er has lost weight."

Yun Hao laughed and said, "I lost some weight because I was running around outside."

Mrs. Zhao Cui personally gave him a piece of pork ribs, "Eat more quickly."

"Thank you, grandma." Yun Hao said.

"Yun Hao, with you as my grandson-in-law, my grandson is no longer in my eyes." Zhao Yin joked.

Zhao Wangshu smiled after hearing this and gave him a piece of ribs, "Don't worry, my sister will pick it up for you."

"Thank you sister, I'll pick it up for you too." Zhao Yin picked up a piece of fish and gave it to her.

Mrs. Zhao Cui said with a smile: "These two children love to make trouble. Hao'er, please ignore them and eat your food quickly."

The meal was enjoyable. After the meal, Yun Hao accompanied Zhao Wangshu for a walk in the courtyard to eat.

The next day, Yun Hao went out with the Zhao family and his son. The Zhao family and his son went to the Yamen, and Yun Hao entered the palace.

The emperor retired from the morning court and then summoned Yun Hao to the imperial study.

Yun Hao walked into the imperial study. The emperor sat behind the desk with a happy smile on his face, "Jingyao, you worked hard in the south. The situation in Jiangnan has stabilized, and it's all thanks to you."

Yun Hao bowed and said: "It is the duty of a minister to share your Majesty's worries. I don't have to work hard."

The emperor nodded and said: "After you pacified Jiangnan, you rushed back without stopping. It shows that you are very efficient and loyal in your work. I am very satisfied."

"Your Majesty is overly complimentary. I'm just doing my best." Yun Hao said expressionlessly.

The emperor picked up a stack of memorials from the desk, handed them to Yun Hao, and said, "These are the memorials that were submitted after you left. Some praised you, and some impeached you. Take a look."

Yun Hao took the memorial with both hands and read it one by one.

Most of them praised his efficiency and impartiality in handling cases in Jiangnan, while some impeached him for interfering in local government affairs, controlling Jiangnan, and being disloyal.

After reading it, Yun Hao put the memorial back on the desk, took three steps back, knelt down and said, "I am handling a case in Jiangnan. I am only focused on official matters and have not interfered with local government affairs."

"Although I control Jiangnan when handling cases, I do not have disloyal intentions. I am loyal to your majesty and have no second thoughts." The emperor smiled and said: "Jingyao, you are effective in doing things and upright. Naturally, I can trust you." . There are always some villains in the court who like to stir up trouble, so you don’t have to worry about it."

Yun Hao bowed again and said, "I thank your Majesty for your trust. I will do my best to share your Majesty's worries."

"What you did in Jiangnan this time has won the hearts of the people, but some powerful people are also dissatisfied. You need to be more cautious in your actions in the future to avoid being framed." The emperor hit him.

"Your Majesty cares about me, and I am very grateful. I will act more carefully and live up to your majesty's trust."

The emperor added: "You have just come back, so you must not have had a rest yet. You go back and have a rest first. I will hold a banquet for you in the evening to wash your hands."

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness, and I will attend the banquet on time." Yun Hao saluted, "I take my leave."

They had to go to the palace for a banquet in the evening. Yun Hao, who originally wanted to go back to the Zhao family, had to go back to the Yun Mansion.

Back at the mansion, the housekeeper reported to him: "Master, Madam has returned with a message."

With that said, he presented a letter to him.

Yun Hao took the letter and read it: My son Yun Hao personally signed it with complicated eyes.

Taking the letter and entering the study, Yun Hao put the letter on the desk. He sat on the chair and stared at the letter on the table for a long time.

After a long time, Yun Hao picked up the letter and folded it. On it, his mother wrote two simple sentences, "I hope that my son will take state affairs as his priority, take the people into consideration, and benefit the common people."

"State affairs?" Yun Hao sneered, folded the letter, put it back into the envelope, opened the drawer, put the letter in, stood up, picked up the sword hanging on the wall, and walked to the yard.

Yun Hao's swordsmanship was inherited from his father, and every sword swing carried a fierce momentum. He danced the sword happily in the courtyard, venting the depression in his chest.

As night fell, the inner courtyard of the palace was brightly lit, and the emperor held a banquet in the palace to welcome Yun Hao.

Yun Hao arrived at the banquet on time, and the chamberlain led him into the palace.

After a while, the emperor came with the queen, Concubine Jing and Prince Baofu.

Yun Hao saluted everyone one by one and sat down.

The banquet began, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively. The emperor chatted with Yun Hao and asked him about his handling of cases in Jiangnan.

Yun Hao succinctly described the situation in Jiangnan and the cases handled, without exaggerating or concealing anything.

The emperor, who had read the secret report, still listened with interest and nodded in agreement from time to time.

The Queen and Concubine Jing occasionally interjected and asked about the customs and customs of Jiangnan, and Yun Hao also answered them one by one, concisely and concisely.

As time went by, the queen suddenly changed the subject, "Jingyao must be twenty years old. This man is getting married, and the girl is getting married. Your Majesty, it's time for you to marry Jingyao."

Concubine Jing's eyes flickered and she glanced at Prince Baofu. Prince Baofu shook his head slightly. Concubine Jing picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The emperor knew that Yun Hao and Zhao Wangshu were in love and would get engaged when Mrs. Yun came back from the nunnery. He did not take the queen's advice.

But the queen didn't know what was going on, and continued: "The third princess is already a hairpin in six months, so she is about the same age as Jingyao."

"Mrs. Yun has to worry about Jingyao's marriage." The emperor gave the queen a warning look.

The queen's heart trembled at the emperor's gaze, but she still refused to back down, "I also think about the future of the princess. Your Majesty, you also know that the appearance and conduct of the three princesses are excellent. If you can be like Jingyao It’s a match made in heaven if we become friends with Qin and Jin.”

The emperor put the wine glass on the table and said coldly: "Mrs. Yun has made arrangements, you don't need to say more."

Concubine Jing covered her mouth and smiled happily.

The queen's face turned pale. She was flattering the horse instead of flattering her. She didn't dare to say anything more.
