Chapter 440 It is your honor to die for the princess
Seeing that the court officials were still discussing the selection of a concubine, Ah Qi spoke up: "The emperor's husband has already been selected, and there is no need for you to discuss it any further."

When she said this, she could clearly see Fan Shi straighten his chest, as if to say, yes, that's right, it's him! Not some servant of the emperor, but the emperor's husband. With him here, no one else can get close to His Majesty.

His appearance made Ah Qi laugh, but the minister naturally did not dare to look at her as he was stunned by the news.

His Majesty has already chosen a wife? Who is it? Which family was so quick to win His Majesty's favor? How come they didn't hear anything?

By the way, hasn’t Your Majesty just returned two days ago?

Isn't he from here?

The ministers were silent for a while, and Xue Shanhui asked, "Your Majesty, who is it? Since Your Majesty has a candidate for the Empress in mind, you should prepare for the marriage early."

So who is it? Xue Shanhui was also very curious.

His words touched the heart of everyone in the court. Yes, who was this person, so treacherous, to be chosen by His Majesty? They wanted to see what this kid was capable of.

Ah Qi said, "It's Fan Qing."

Fan Shijian saw the whole court staring with wide eyes, and snorted in his heart, is he that surprised? He is just the right age, he is good at both literature and martial arts, and he is absolutely loyal to His Majesty. He and His Majesty have the same dream, to create a peaceful and prosperous world, what a perfect match! Some old men still want to sell their little ones at home, without even looking in the mirror, how can they compare with him?
Xue Shanhui was stunned. Is it Prime Minister Fan?

At that time, A'qi let Xue Shanhui continue to be the prime minister, and later it was divided into left and right prime ministers, two prime ministers in the same dynasty, one was Xue Shanhui and the other was Fan Shi. However, Fan Shi was more responsible for military and political affairs, and also served as a military advisor.

Xue Shanhui was quite speechless when he saw Fan Shi's proud expression. It was rare to see such an expression on Fan Xiang's face. He thought that anyone would feel proud to be favored by such a woman as His Majesty. It was an honor. Thinking back to the last palace banquet of Northern Qi, Fan Xiang was the first to hand the arrow to His Majesty, as if he knew what she was going to do. It was also his call of His Majesty that made others react and immediately follow the wise ruler above.

Now that I think about it, Prime Minister Fan seemed born to stand by Your Majesty's side.

The whole court was shocked for a moment, but seeing Fan Shi raising his chin, no one dared to say anything.

Forget it, what's the point of arguing? How can their kid surpass Fan Xiang? No way.

The entire court was still very disappointed. Originally, they not only wanted to propose the matter of His Majesty selecting a concubine, but also wanted to find a matchmaker for Fan Shi. However, these two people got together, and their plan had to fall through.

Fan Shi snorted in his heart. He had just annexed Southern Qi not long ago, so he had things to do. He saw that the people in the court were too idle. After he and His Majesty got married, he would arrange for them to be busy. Before that, he had written a lot of plans, and he would just arrange things for them one by one when the time came.

Instantly, everyone in the court felt a chill on their backs. They glanced outside the main hall. Was it windy? The weather was cooler now, and even a slight breeze was very cold.

After the court was dismissed that day, the news of A'rui's selection of the emperor's husband spread, and the wedding date was set for the beginning of spring next year.

When the people learned about this, they cheered and offered their blessings.

Although many fallen nobles particularly disliked the two and tried every possible means to tarnish their reputations, such as wanting to eat their flesh, drink their blood, pull out their tendons, and break their bones, in the hearts of the common people, Asui and Fan Shi were undoubtedly gods who came to save them. Since becoming Canglan people, their lives have been getting better and better. Knowing that the two were having a happy event, they were naturally overjoyed.

Song Yuheng, who was now much freer and was strolling on the street, sighing at the new look of the capital, also heard the news. He was not surprised, after all, he had seen the two of them being very close that day. He looked at the people coming and going, and the people all had a relaxed look on their faces. Even in this more affluent area, they did not walk cautiously or hurriedly, fearing that they would bump into some noble person. They held their heads high and their spirits were completely different.

They have ruddy complexions, and many of them, even those in ordinary clothes, look plump and well-fed, which is obviously due to them having enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and a stable life.

I heard that shortly after the establishment of Canglan State, the household registration system was re-established, which was particularly strict. Some wealthy families would take great risks if they wanted to hide their population. I heard from the guards that it was quite chaotic during that period, and her actions violated the interests of many people, and many people wanted to kill her. But what the Queen of Canglan wanted was to take advantage of the chaos to make things right. It was already very chaotic, and she was not afraid of getting more chaotic, so everything just happened.

As for those who wanted her dead, Song Yuheng couldn't help laughing. Only those who had witnessed the scene of the palace banquet knew how powerful she was. Assassinating her was simply a fantasy.

Song Yuheng felt that there might be no more slaves in Canglan Kingdom soon, and slaves would no longer be allowed to be raised. Now it was forbidden to beat or kill slaves at will, otherwise there would be punishment.

Song Yuheng had no doubt that this day would come. But many things didn't happen so quickly and needed to be done step by step. Everything should be under her control.

Was she meant for this world?

Otherwise, how could she come from a small family like Cui, and even Cui didn't know she had these abilities?

With mixed feelings, Song Yuheng was escorted to the capital.

Over the past few years, with so many changes, he no longer had the same feelings for Song Jing as he did at the beginning. Especially with the destruction of Southern Qi and the exposure of her and Empress Canglan's identities, he no longer thought about it.

More than a month later, Song Yuheng's convoy arrived in the capital.

He had been to this place before, when he was traveling around to gain more knowledge.

This journey was very different from the past. At least on this road, there were no more dangers than before, and we were always worried about bandits coming to rob our cars.

The people in the convoy directly pulled Song Yuheng to the small courtyard where Song Jing was, and then knocked on the door.

Song Jing opened the door and was stunned when she saw the person at the door: "Third... Third Young Master?"

Obviously, it is not appropriate to call Song Yuheng the Third Prince at this time. It is safer to call him the Third Young Master, so that no one will catch him wrongly. Her life is still relatively stable now, and she does not want to cause trouble for herself.

Of course, deep down in her heart, she was extremely looking forward to seeing her brothers in the east achieve something and rebuild a new world for Southern Qi.

"Cui..." When Song Yuheng saw Song Jing, he subconsciously wanted to call her "Miss Cui", but soon remembered that the other person was Song Jing, "Miss Jing'er, I haven't seen you for a few years. I hope you are doing well."

Song Jing gave a bitter smile: "Are you here to mock me, Third Young Master?"

"When the Northern Qi royal family was massacred, I thought...why did she..." Only let Song Yuheng go?
