After the engagement was called off, the senior sister of the sect took the initiative to consummate

The person leading the civil servant group was none other than the old gentleman he had met by chance on the street three days prior.

Holy crap? This is outrageous!

Who would have thought:

While strolling around, I unexpectedly ran into Jun Moxie, the Prime Minister of Qin and Dean of the Academy, who is usually elusive and rarely seen!

Qin Yichen hurriedly cupped his hands in a bow, "Greetings, Prime Minister Jun. It's been a few days since we last met, and you are even more dignified than before!"

Jun Moxie smiled and nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He seemed quite surprised that Qin Yichen could recognize him, and returned the greeting with clasped hands: "This old minister greets Your Highness. I never expected that our hasty parting that day would lead to our reunion in this court!"

Qin Yichen was secretly pleased; it seemed that this old gentleman did not have any ill feelings towards him.

Perhaps, in the future, I might gain his support in the imperial court.

The Qin Emperor nodded in satisfaction and continued, "The second is to publicly reveal your identity, allowing you to acknowledge your ancestors and officially become a member of the Qin royal family."

Qin Yichen bowed again, "Thank you, Father Emperor."

The Qin Emperor laughed heartily, "Guards, draft the decree."

The chief eunuch hurriedly stepped forward, spread out the imperial edict, and dipped his brush in ink.

The Qin Emperor looked at Qin Yichen with eyes full of affection, "Prince Qin Yichen has been living among the common people since childhood, experiencing all kinds of hardships and suffering. Now he is hereby granted the title of Prince of Jin, and is bestowed with a mansion and ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers reacted in various ways!

Even the five princes present cast envious and jealous glances at him.

To know……

Apart from the eldest prince who went to the border to serve in the army and was granted the title of king for his outstanding military achievements, no other princes in the Qin Dynasty were granted the title of king.

In other words, Qin Yichen is one of only two princes in the Great Qin Dynasty to be granted the title of King!

Among the titles conferred by the Qin Dynasty, there were four most prestigious ones, and the King of Jin was one of them.

Second only to the title bestowed by the King of Qin!

Before a crown prince is established, the princes who are enfeoffed as the King of Qin can generally become the crown prince without much difficulty.

Although the title of War King held by the eldest prince was prestigious, it was still a miscellaneous title. Therefore, the nobility of Qin Yichen's title of Jin King was evident.

[Ding! It has been detected that Qin Muchen, the chosen one of destiny, has become jealous, causing him to lose 5000 points of destiny. Congratulations, host, you have gained 5000 villain points!]

Qin Yichen's initial joy was completely stunned by the mechanical voice of the system.

"What? Qin Muchen is actually the chosen one of destiny? How is this possible?"

Qin Yichen's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief, his heart churning like a stormy sea.

He simply couldn't understand why a second chosen one of destiny would suddenly appear in this world.

Taking a deep breath and trying to calm himself down, Qin Yichen silently chanted in his mind, "System, you better come out here and explain yourself! How could there be two chosen ones of destiny in this world at the same time?"

That annoying system voice came again, but this time it carried obvious disdain and mockery:

[Hmph, what a country bumpkin! What's so strange about this?]

[It exists because the world needs it and Heaven desires it; who has the right to interfere!]

Hearing this, Qin Yichen was so angry he almost jumped up. He thought to himself, "Can't you speak properly? Stop with the sarcastic remarks! According to you, if the Heavenly Dao were willing, wouldn't there be even more chosen ones?"

Seemingly sensing Qin Yichen's anger, the system remained silent for a moment before reluctantly replying:

No, so far, the Heavenly Dao can only mobilize enough primal power to support the birth of two chosen ones. Any more than that, and it cannot bear it!

"Phew... thank goodness, as long as there aren't a few more chosen ones, you can leave now!"

Upon learning that no new chosen ones would appear for the time being, Qin Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Muchen, this chosen one, isn't all that great!

Narrow-minded and petty!

The reward wasn't something I asked for; it was something I offered up willingly. What are you jealous of?

Just as Qin Yichen was about to express his gratitude, someone stepped forward before him.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

The speaker was Mei Limou, the Minister of Rites. He looked anxious and bowed to the Qin Emperor, saying, "The ancestral precepts of the Great Qin state that a prince cannot be enfeoffed as a king without military merit. Your Highness has not yet achieved any merit and is therefore unworthy of being enfeoffed as a king!"

Qin Yichen stared at him blankly.

Holy crap? You're trying to cause trouble, aren't you?

I just made veiled insults about you two brothers, calling you dogs, and even beat your son in the street, didn't I?

Why are you so vengeful?

You bastard, don't let me catch you off guard, or you won't even know how you died!

The Qin Emperor's face darkened. "Although he has no merit, I have made mistakes! As a father, I have failed in the slightest, causing him to be orphaned and suffer endless hardships since childhood!"

His voice was filled with self-blame and guilt.

The Qin Emperor looked coldly at Mei Limao, the Minister of Rites, and said, "Ancestral precepts must be upheld, but special circumstances require special treatment. Didn't our ancestors never encounter a situation like mine?"

Mei Limou sensed the displeasure in the Emperor's voice and hurriedly knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I did not mean to obstruct you, but this ancestral precept cannot be violated!"

The Qin Emperor said coldly, "Enough. If I say it's okay, then it's okay. What? As the ruler of the Great Qin, do I not even have this much power?"

There was an unmistakable authority in his voice.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Mei Limou still refused to give up and continued to persuade, "The ancestral precepts are the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty. If they are easily changed, it may cause turmoil in the court!"

"Humph!"

The Qin Emperor snorted coldly and said, "Will it cause turmoil in the court? I'd like to see who dares to cause trouble."

Mei Limou was about to continue arguing when the Qin Emperor interrupted him, saying firmly, "Alright, my mind is made up, there's no need for further discussion!"

All the ministers bowed their heads, not daring to utter the slightest objection.

Then, the Qin Emperor turned his gaze to Qin Yichen, "Are you dissatisfied with my rewards?"

A fleeting, almost imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.

"Satisfied!"

Qin Yichen nodded quickly, then bowed and expressed his gratitude, "Your subject thanks Your Majesty for your grace!"

After Qin Yichen stepped aside, Emperor Qin looked at the ministers and said, "Do any of you ministers have anything else to report? If not, let's adjourn the court today."

A minister stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, the position of Crown Prince is vacant. I believe that the most urgent task is to select a suitable candidate to stabilize the court.”

Another minister immediately retorted, "The position of crown prince is a matter of great importance and should be considered carefully."

For a time, the court was filled with endless debate.

Finally, it was General Nangong Xiaotian who spoke up and stopped the endless argument: "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is virtuous and talented, and has the world in his heart. He is the only choice to be the Crown Prince!"

Seeing the old story brought up again, the Sixth Prince Qin Muchen smiled again.

Just when he was confident of securing the position of crown prince, a single sentence from the Qin Emperor shattered his illusions: "Qin Muchen cannot be the crown prince of Qin!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was excited!

"What does Your Majesty mean by this? Why have you rejected the Sixth Prince, the most popular candidate for the position of Crown Prince?"

"This is practically a death sentence for the Sixth Prince; he's destined to never be the Crown Prince!"
