The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Chapter 331

The carriages of Queen Yan and the Crown Princess slowly drove over. The magnificent carriage and the many palace maids and eunuchs accompanying them showed their incomparably noble status. Upon hearing the news, everyone hurried out, stood respectfully on both sides of the road, bowed their heads and saluted to show their respect.

When the carriage just arrived at the gate, Qin Xingfu happened to come out of the mansion. She was dressed in a simple and elegant dress, dignified and generous, with a faint smile on her face. Seeing Queen Yan and the Crown Princess coming, Qin Xingfu quickly quickened her pace to greet them, and was about to pay her respects. However, Queen Yan had sharp eyes and saw her from a distance, and hurriedly called out: "Huiyuan, don't be so polite!"

Qin Xingfu stopped moving when she heard the voice, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Queen, for your consideration." Queen Yan came today to celebrate her child's birthday, which made Qin Xingfu feel honored. She said with gratitude, "It is a great honor for the Queen and the Crown Princess to come to my humble home. Please come in!"

Hearing this, Queen Yan couldn't help but give Qin Xingfu a coquettish look and chuckled, "You! You are becoming more polite now."

After saying that, she shook her head slightly, as if she felt a little emotional about the changes brought about by the passage of time. But in a flash, Queen Yan regained her smile, and took Qin Xingfu's hand affectionately and walked into the palace together. Qin Xingfu always maintained a decent smile, took Queen Yan's arm, and the two walked side by side, as close as sisters.

Crown Princess Meng Man raised her hand to let the others stand up, and then followed behind the two of them. Many people saw the three of them coming to the hall talking and laughing. The three protagonists of today were already ready, and they all saluted when they saw the visitors.

"Greetings to the Queen, and to the Crown Princess." The three said in unison, and bowed respectfully. Queen Yan smiled and raised her hand gently, saying, "Hurry up and stand up! You three children have grown up now." Meng Man, who was standing by, hurried forward and carefully helped them up.

At this time, the Crown Princess smiled and praised: "That's right, our queen has become more and more beautiful now, she is simply a real beauty! Look at Yue'er and Ni'er, they are also elegant and talented young men!" As she said that, she and Queen Yan took the specially prepared gifts for today from the hands of the palace servants - three pieces of top-quality jade. The jade has a warm texture, transparent color, and a novel and unique style, which is very suitable for young people to wear.

Seeing this, the three of them were delighted and quickly accepted the gifts generously, while politely thanking them: "Thank you, Queen, thank you, Crown Princess!" Queen Yan and Crown Princess nodded with satisfaction, saying that they were welcome. Afterwards, Qin Xingfu warmly invited Queen Yan and Crown Princess to take a seat. After they sat down, everyone began to praise the three of them. The three of them had grown up in praise since they were young, but today's praise, like a tidal wave, still made them a little shy, and their faces flushed slightly.

At this time, Fu Yuan looked at the time and felt that it was almost time, and it seemed that no one else would come. So he planned to turn around and report to the host that he could start preparing for the banquet. However, just as he turned around, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid horse hooves. He was startled and turned around to look, only to see a gorgeous carriage galloping in the distance. When he got closer, he saw that it was the carriage of the First Emperor!

Fu Yuan was quick to react and immediately winked at Gao De beside him. Gao De understood and ran into the hall to report without saying anything. Not long after, all the people who were originally sitting in the hall stood up to greet him, and the scene became very lively.

"Greetings to the Emperor!" With a loud shout, the First Emperor slowly stepped down from the beautifully decorated chariot. Everyone knelt down to pay homage, and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

"No need to be polite!" The First Emperor smiled and waved his hand, his eyes then fell on the three young men who looked like adults. They were tall and straight, with outstanding temperaments and extraordinary heroic spirit between their brows. Seeing this, the First Emperor couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

At this time, Qi Le, who was standing aside, immediately stepped forward and read out the edict of the retired emperor loudly: "Now, the three sons of the Qin family are all outstanding and imposing. Born into the world, they have shown extraordinary intelligence and wisdom. Their thoughts are like a spring, and they can form a chapter as soon as they open their mouths. Their words are gorgeous and their talents are grand and vigorous. They have lofty ambitions, care about the people of the world, and study the classics, history, and collections with great concentration, in order to understand the changes of ancient and modern times; they are diligent in practicing the art of strategy, aiming to resolve the worries of the country. The wisdom and strategy they possess are like a sword that has just revealed its edge, and have already revealed the great ability to save the world and bring peace to the country..."

Qin Xingfu stood in the crowd. He was confused at first and didn't know what the emperor was going to do. But he continued to listen patiently, after all, it was the emperor's will. However, when he heard that his three children would be given fiefs and titles, he suddenly raised his head with an expression of disbelief on his face. Not only was Qin Xingfu shocked, but everyone else present was also stunned by the sudden news.

After Qi Le finished reading the long imperial edict, Qin Xingfu finally came to his senses. He quickly straightened his clothes and respectfully bowed to the First Emperor, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great grace! I will teach my sons to serve the court wholeheartedly and live up to Your Majesty's love!"

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely inappropriate! These children are still young and ignorant, and have not made any achievements at all. It is hard to convince the people to reward them like this..." the minister advised earnestly.

"I understand this in my heart. However, the titles and fiefs granted to them this time are not entirely due to their own merits. Back then, I had no more titles to bestow upon you, my dear, but now that the children have grown up, these rewards are quite appropriate." The emperor said slowly, revealing a hint of melancholy in his words. He knew that he was getting older, and the people in front of him were loyal and had made outstanding contributions, but he could not give them more substantial rewards, and he could not help but feel a little guilty.

Hearing this, Qin Xingfu was embarrassed, but seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, he could not say anything more, so he could only nod slightly to the children, letting them accept this gift. Qin Yue and the other three knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to express their gratitude under the envious gaze of the crowd.

"Thank you, His Majesty, for your grace!" The loud shouts echoed throughout the court, attracting either amazed or jealous glances from everyone present.

At this time, someone on the side whispered, "It seems that the Qin family will be very successful in the future!" Someone else nodded in agreement.
