The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

As the sky in the east began to light up, the capital city was brightly lit. Civil and military officials rode in sedan chairs or on horses, and headed straight for the palace.

The originally quiet streets were now dotted with lanterns, creating a lively scene.

The gates of the palace were opened early, and these civil officials and military officers entered in an orderly manner.

At this time, Chu Mingyang also arrived at the Ministry of War. With his official position, he naturally could not go to the court, but he was very diligent in his work.

Ever since he entered the Ministry of War, he could only sleep for a few hours a day.

Even when he was on leave at home, he would still study hard under the guidance of the staff that Brother Tan had found specially for him.

It's even harder than taking the imperial examination, but the results are still obvious.

He always remembered what his father said, saying that his official position was not easy to come by. If it were not for Brother Tan Songyun asking Miss Qin for help, he would not know what his life would be like at home now!

So you have to spend many times more time than others to work hard~

"Master Chu."

The word "Master Chu" interrupted Chu Mingyang's thoughts, and he saw a man who looked like a servant hurried over.

She bowed to him and then said softly, "The superiors have just sent down a message that the prince of Prince Yong's mansion is going to the southern border. You must prepare the formalities in advance~"

Chu Mingyang's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. "Who? The prince of Prince Yong's mansion?"

"That's right, it says above that no matter who comes to ask, Lord Chu, you must say you don't know anything and just do your own thing!

Once the paperwork is ready, just wait. Someone will come to look for you, sir~"

Chu Mingyang's heart began to beat faster and faster. He casually took out a rather thick purse and quietly put it into the servant's hand. "Thank you for your hard work. I will definitely be ready and waiting. You should leave quickly and don't let others see you."

The servant quickly put his purse into his pocket, lowered his head and walked out quickly!

Chu Mingyang also began to prepare the documents for taking office. He picked up the pen and wrote his name very carefully, his heart still beating violently.

Even if he has prepared the document, it will only take effect after being stamped by his superior.

He carefully prepared the documents, put them in the bookcase and locked it, then wrote some more words, rolled them up and stuffed them into his sleeve.

After carefully checking to make sure nothing was missing, he walked directly outside. Seeing his followers, he whispered, "Send this note to Brother Tan. Be sure to do it quickly. There must be no mistakes."

"Yes, sir, don't worry, I will definitely see to it." The attendant took it and quickly stuffed it into his sleeve, then turned and left.

Chu Mingyang then relaxed a little. Fortunately, his father was a smart man who kept reminding him to listen more and watch more. He didn't expect that his father would be of use today.

If it weren't for his father's repeated warnings, he might have been in trouble today.

It was obvious that Gu Jingyi was going to serve as a lieutenant general under Jing'an Hou at the northern border, but the servant just now conveyed that he was going to the southern border.

He didn't even mention the official position, let alone who he would work for. This was definitely a trap for Chu Mingyang.

If he fails to do his duty this time, he will have to bear all the responsibility once the higher-ups investigate. Not only will he lose his official position, but if things go wrong, he might even lose his head!

How did he get this official position? Even though not many people in the Ministry of War knew about it, there were still some people who were jealous and waiting for him to make a mistake!

On the other side, Qin Wenlan was checking Min's dowry. She wanted to see how much of it she could take directly to Prince An's mansion.

After receiving the note sent by Tan Songyun and carefully reading the contents, she couldn't help but snort coldly.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Changan made any movement, Gu Yunzhou would immediately make some small moves.

Originally, Gu Chang'an wanted to let Gu Jingyi serve as a lieutenant general under Jing'an Hou. After she knew about it, she made a bet with Gu Chang'an, saying that things would not go that smoothly, and if she didn't believe it, she could just wait and see.

What did Gu Changan say at that time? "Gu Yunzhou wouldn't care about such an official position. Besides, he, Gu Yunzhou, probably wouldn't even look down on an official position outside the capital."

Haha~

How about now? Isn't this a slap in the face?"

In his previous life, even if Gu Yunzhou no longer wanted something, as long as Gu Changan touched it, he would definitely snatch it away.

But Chu Mingyang works in the Ministry of War, so how did Gu Yunzhou know that he was his man?

It seems that some things are still not rigorous enough!

But the palace is almost like a sieve, how could a Ministry of War not have spies like Gu Yunzhou?

It seems that Gu Yunzhou wants to kill several birds with one stone this time!

After thinking about this, she called Han Song directly, looked at him and ordered: "Go see Liang Yong now, give this to him, and tell him to deliver it to Prince An quickly, and make sure it's quick."

Qin Wenlan sealed the note he had just written and handed it to Han Song. Han Song took it and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely not delay anything."

After Han Song left, Qin Wenlan asked Lihua to prepare the carriage and horses, and she quickly left the Qin Hou Mansion.

In Penglai Restaurant~

Princess Yong was personally led upstairs by Wu Qingfeng. Just as she was about to step into the designated private room, she heard footsteps coming from behind. She turned slightly to the side and saw Qin Wenlan walking slowly towards her in a purple dress.

Wu Qingfeng bowed slightly, "Master."

Qin Wenlan nodded, "Manager Wu, go and do your work!"

"Yes." Wu Qingfeng responded and retreated.

Qin Wenlan personally pushed open the door of the private room, looked at the Princess of Yong and said with a smile: "Wenlan took the liberty of inviting the Princess today, please forgive me."

Then he stepped aside to let Princess Yong enter the private room first.

The entire upstairs was silent, which was also because Qin Wenlan asked Wu Qingfeng to clear the area in advance.

Princess Yong walked into the private room with confidence and said as she walked in, "Miss Qin invited me here today. It's not just for a chat and tea, is it?"

Qin Wenlan said with a smile: "Of course it's not that pure."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Qingfeng appeared at the door again.

He walked in personally, carrying a tray of tea and snacks. He put everything in place quietly, and then left quietly, just as he had come in.

This made Princess Yong, who was watching from the side, sigh secretly. It was indeed somewhat well-behaved.

It is said that this girl came from the Qin family manor and was very vulgar. Now it seems that this is not entirely true. Rumors cannot be trusted!

Qin Wenlan didn't care what Princess Yong was thinking. He just handed the note that Chu Mingyang had sent to her and said, "Princess, please take a look at this first."

Princess Yong didn't take it directly. Instead, she glanced at it and then looked at Qin Wenlan and asked, "What is this?"

"Princess, you will understand after you see it."

Princess Yong didn't say anything else. She picked up the note and took a closer look. Her expression changed slightly. "Is that really the case?"

"This was just delivered by my people. It happened this morning. If it weren't for the emergency, Wenlan wouldn't dare to disturb you like this!"
