The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Zhao Zhen got up from the chair, walked to Qin Wan, and pulled her to the couch.

Feng Shun immediately served tea to the two of them and placed it on the table between them.

Qin Wan said, "I have something to discuss with Your Majesty."

"Oh? I heard that my brother-in-law entered the palace, but it has something to do with him."

Zhao Zhen kept Cao Zeyu entirely for Qin Wan's sake, thinking that his wife would not be averse to that younger brother.

Qin Wan nodded, "Well, I have to tell His Majesty about this. Cao Zeyu came to the palace and wanted to leave with the Cao family."

"I have already promised him. Your Majesty will not blame me, right?"

Zhao Zhen had already told Cao Kun to keep Cao Zeyu, and Qin Wan's decision to let him go was considered a rejection of Zhao Zhen's good intentions.

Zhao Zhen shook his head, "How could that be? I just want to leave Wanwan's relatives to accompany you."

Qin Wan shook her head. "No need. I have Your Majesty and the children, and that's enough."

Zhao Zhen: “….”

Zhao Zhen was happy when she heard Qin Wan say this.

He also felt that with Wanwan and the children by his side, no matter how difficult the situation was, it would not be a problem.

The Great Yan Dynasty experienced two wars last year, and money in the national treasury was spent like water.

Also, after the war, the population of the Great Yan Dynasty dropped sharply, and many fields were left barren and uncultivated.

People from all over the country have fled everywhere because of the war. Now that the war is over, the court has to consider how to appease the people and how to provide disaster relief.

There is also the issue of how to prevent the disaster relief funds from being embezzled, and whether the relief food distributed by the court reaches the hands of the people.

These messy things are what worries Emperor Zhao Zhen.

In short, after the war, the Great Yan Dynasty was in a time of reconstruction.

After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, he was never idle.

At this time, the harem was stable, and Qin Wan and the children were Zhao Zhen's best medicine.

Seeing that the children were healthy and cute, Zhao Zhen’s daily fatigue was relieved.

Qin Wan continued, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to tell you."

"what's up?"

Qin Wan said, "I want to adopt my second cousin under my father's name so that he can inherit the incense of the second branch."

"If he has no objection, I would like to confer a title on my father posthumously."

This was the first time Qin Wan sought benefits for her parents' family.

Since she became queen, she has never asked for anything.

Zhao Zhen understood Qin Wan's meaning. If Qin Ting was willing, then she would give the title to Qin Ting.

If he doesn't want to, then he will have no chance of getting the title.

Zhao Zhen felt sorry for Qin Wan at this moment. He reached out and held Qin Wan's hand. "Okay, whatever you say. What title do you think is appropriate?"

Zhao Zhen knew that Cao Zeyu must have disappointed his wife, which was why she thought of adopting a child.

Otherwise, the father-in-law clearly has his own children, so how could he adopt his nephew?

Qin Wan smiled and said, "You really want me to choose?"

Zhao Zhen is very generous. This is equivalent to writing a check to Qin Wan. You decide how much you want.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Well, choose!"

When Qin Wan came, she already had a plan, "Then let's elect a marquis, and the title will be hereditary!"

Zhao Zhen nodded, "Okay, it will be hereditary."

Don’t think that Qin Wan chose the second-class marquis instead of the first-class duke for Qin’s father.

However, the Qin family’s descendants have been marquises for generations since the Yan Dynasty.

The Qin family's titles and fiefdoms can be inherited from generation to generation and will not be downgraded when inherited. Descendants can always keep the titles and corresponding treatment obtained by their Qin father.

Other titles in the court are generally hereditary and may be downgraded by one level every generation. For example, the Xia family is now an earl's house.

After Mr. Xia passed away, Xia Tongqi inherited the title of Viscount.

Xia Yizi inherited only the baronship.

By the next generation of Xia Yizi, the Xia family no longer had any title.

The Xia family was keen on marrying women into the palace simply to gain the emperor's favor and avoid being demoted in title.

Seeing Zhao Zhen agreed, Qin Wan smiled and said, "Okay, then I will go and summon the two cousins to the palace."

Qin Wan wanted to have Qin Ting adopted as her daughter, so she also wanted to ask for his opinion.

Soon, Qin Xiao and Qin Ting entered the palace.

Qin Ting stopped going up the mountain because his wife was pregnant.

When Qin Xiao and Zhao Zhen went on the expedition, he was responsible for weapons research and development.

Now Qin Xiao has taken over the Military Equipment Bureau, an official position of the fourth rank.

"Qin Xiao/Qin Ting, meet the Emperor/Empress!"

The two brothers bowed to Zhao Zhen and Qin Wan.

"Be flat!"

After the two brothers got up, Qin Ting naturally asked, "Awan, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Compared with his brother, Qin Ting seems to be more honest and straightforward.

This is also the reason why Zhao Zhen entrusted Qin Xiao with an important task and did not arrange any official position for his second uncle.

Another thing is that my second uncle occasionally plays with my son, which is also quite nice.

Zhao Zhen also has a clear understanding of the division of labor between the two Qin brothers.

Besides, his second uncle is his brother-in-law. For the sake of his cousin, it would be very suitable for his second uncle to have a fifth-rank idle position.

But all we can say is that fools have good luck.

Zhao Zhen knew Qin Wan's decision and looked at Qin Ting with great emotion.

Qin Ting was stared at by Zhao Zhen and moved his feet.

In fact, he was a little afraid of the emperor's brother-in-law.

Hey, he clearly has the same face as my little nephew, why does he look so scary?

Zhao Zhen still didn't know what Qin Ting was thinking.

Qin Wan said, "Now that we are all in the capital, I want to send someone to bring the remains of my father, uncle and aunt to Chang'an City, and then find a good place to rebury them."

Qin Xiao immediately said: "This is a good thing, I can bring someone to pick him up in person."

In the past, the two brothers would go to the Qin family’s ancestral tomb to worship together. Later, they came to Chang’an City and had not worshipped there for several years.

Qin Ting said: "Brother, I will go with you."

Qin Xiao shook his head. "No, your sister-in-law's belly is getting bigger now. You should not leave. Someone needs to take care of the family."

Qin Ting, who got married later, already has children, but Qin Xiao, who got married first, does not yet.

However, this is not Qin Xiao's fault. He followed Zhao Zhen to the northern expedition last year and was not in Chang'an City. If Lu Ruying was pregnant, it would be strange.

Qin Ting heard his brother say this, so he didn't insist, "Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."

After the two brothers made their decision, Qin Ting scratched his head and said, "Awan, you are still careful and still think about your parents and second uncle."

Qin Wan looked at Qin Ting and said, "Second brother, I wonder if you are willing to be adopted by our father and inherit the incense of the second house."

Qin Xiao: “….”

Qin Xiao's mind worked quickly, and he also thought of his little cousin. He had been back for so long, but he was not close to the two brothers.

Originally, he wanted to ask him privately whether he wanted to change his surname, but firstly, he was busy, and secondly, his aunt had amnesia, so he didn't dare to bring it up.

Now that my cousin said this, I guess it must be that my little cousin disappointed Awan.

"No problem, let's adopt our second brother to our second uncle!"

Qin Ting had no objection. He scratched his head and said, "I am willing, but my second uncle has a son!"

Qin Ting still remembered the good things about Cao Xia. Just like him, his cousin had a very good impression of him.

"Isn't Zeyu the second uncle's son? We both have the same hair!"

Qin Ting's tone was a little anxious, he was afraid that Qin Wan would doubt Cao Zeyu's identity.

Qin Wan said: "He is my father's son, but his last name is not Qin!"

Qin Ting: “........”

Qin Ting was stunned at first, but then he figured it out, "Okay then, I'll be Second Uncle's son. I've kowtowed to him a lot in the past anyway, hehe!"

In Qin Ting's opinion, this has no impact at all, he is still a member of the Qin family.

"So, my second uncle became a grandfather before my father, hahaha!" Qin Ting laughed.

Qin Wan looked at Qin Ting and laughed, "Yes! Father is going to be a grandfather!"

Qin Ting didn’t know that the things he didn’t care about were such a blessing for his descendants!

How many people secretly envy his good luck!
