After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

Qin Yao didn't want to laugh, but when the palace servants brought the rewards to her one by one, she really couldn't hold back the corners of her mouth that were wildly raised.

Qin Yao swore that from today on, Xu Wenqing was her half-sister!

She would do anything to anyone who bullied Xu Wenqing in the future!

The female official congratulated Qin Yao while politely handing the imperial edict to her.

Because of this huge reward, the palace maid couldn't help but look at Qin Yao twice more.

She was really curious about what the woman who could be so favored by His Majesty looked like, and whether she was stunning.

However, Qin Yao could only be considered pretty, which disappointed her.

But the female official felt that Qin County Lady, who was so favored by His Majesty, must have her outstanding qualities.

It's just that she was short-sighted and didn't find it for the time being.

The female official politely bowed to Qin Yao again, completed the task, and led the palace servants back to the palace to report.

As soon as they left, the neighbors came to congratulate Qin Yao.

Old Lady Wang also came, and with the help of her maid, she looked at all the rewards that were placed in the courtyard and had not been put away yet.

The more she looked, the more shocked she was, and the more fortunate she was that her family had arranged this marriage with Qin Yao's family early.

Otherwise, once Mr. Liu was promoted, her silly son would never be able to marry him again.

Old Lady Wang lived in Kyoto for a lifetime, and she had listened to the imperial edicts of various rewards for a lifetime.

But no matter whether it was the previous dynasty or the present dynasty, the rewards for county ladies were not as extravagant as Qin Yao's.

Now everyone in Kyoto knows that Liu Ji led half of the people in the city to the palace gate to invite the Queen to ascend the throne.

Since the Queen became the Emperor of Ziwei, everyone guessed that Liu Ji, a little-known Jinshi in the past, would become rich.

But he did not expect that he would be appointed as the director of the Imperial City Department as soon as he arrived.

Who doesn't know that the Imperial City Division only obeys the orders of the emperor?

Although the director is only a fifth-rank official, he holds real power and controls the intelligence of Shengguo. All the officials in Kyoto respect him.

This is the true emperor's loyal minister, and he is so glorious.

Although her Wang Jin is also a fifth-rank official, he is about one Qin County Lord away from the director of the Imperial City Division.

Earlier, Mrs. Wang learned from Wang Jin some secrets between Qin Yao and Emperor Ziwei that could not be said openly.

Now, looking at the luxurious rewards in the yard, it is more certain that Director Liu, I am afraid, has the luck of today because of Qin County Lord.

Look at these precious things, the Ziwei Emperor gave them to Qin County Lord without blinking, which shows how much favor he has.

Mrs. Wang looked at Qin Yao, who was surrounded by stars like the moon. This woman is amazing.

Neighbors came to congratulate one after another, and Qin Yao was tired of dealing with them. At first, she smiled.

Later, she couldn't laugh at all.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang was there. Seeing Qin Yao in such a predicament, she hurried forward to greet her.

After a long time of politeness, she finally sent the neighbors out.

Even though Mrs. Wang was good at these things, she was exhausted after the work.

Qin Yao invited the old man to have dinner at home. Mrs. Wang knew that Qin Yao still had work to do, so she waved her hand and refused.

She asked Yin Le to send her out and went home.

Given the current relationship between the two families, Qin Yao was not polite to the old lady and asked Yin Le to pick some gifts and send them to the Wang family to show her gratitude.

The emperor's rewards were really a lot. Qin Yao and her family packed them up until dark before putting these imperial gifts into the warehouse.

Thinking that everyone who saw it would have a share, Qin Yao took out some of the less valuable rewards and divided them up.

For a while, the whole yard was filled with laughter.

No one even remembered that there was still someone at home who had not returned.

After dinner happily, she went back to her room to sleep.

Qin Yao told Awang to remember to leave the door open for someone who hadn't returned yet. After washing up and returning to her bedroom, she lay on the bed but couldn't sleep due to excitement.

Whenever she thought of the rewards, she couldn't help laughing.

The 100,000 taels of silver she had given Liu Ji before, not only did she get her money back, but she also doubled it and made a lot of money.

Unfortunately, she couldn't spend it all.

Thinking about all sorts of things, Qin Yao finally felt sleepy.

Just as she was about to turn off the lights.

Footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Dong Dong" twice, the door was knocked gently.

Liu Ji asked in a low voice with hidden excitement.

"Madam, are you asleep?"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and sat up from the bed, her heartbeat inexplicably faster.

"When did you come back?" Qin Yao's tone sounded faint.

Outside the door, he was wearing a full set of dark red official robes.

Liu Ji, who had already prepared for burning incense and bathing, swallowed his throat secretly.

He replied, "I came back half an hour ago. I spent too much time in the palace, so my clothes were a little dirty. I burned incense, bathed, and changed into clean clothes before I dared to come to see my wife."

The room was silent for a moment, and then a cold voice came: "Come in."

Liu Ji rubbed his hands nervously, lowered his head to re-arrange his brand new and bright dark red official robe, and straightened his crown, then raised his hand to push open the door.

With a "creak", the door slowly opened.

The only candle in the room was the one beside the bed, and the candlelight was weak, so it was difficult to see the situation in the room clearly.

Liu Ji took a deep breath and walked into the door.

In just a moment, the fragrance hit him, and before he could react, he was pressed against the door by Qin Yao.

Liu Ji was startled, looked up, and met a pair of extremely aggressive eyes like a wolf looking at a lamb.

Qin Yao stretched out her legs to hook the open door and closed it.

Only then did he have time to look at the person in front of him.

In the candlelight, Liu Ji, dressed in a dark red official uniform, had an upright posture, broad shoulders and a thin waist, and the texture of his muscles, which were neither thin nor thick, could be seen clearly.

His facial features were also made to look several degrees more delicate than usual.

Those peach blossom eyes that looked affectionate to even dogs were now filled with sparkling water, making people's hearts itch.

Qin Yao looked him up and down, poked his clearly defined chest, "Isn't this the official robe you wear in summer?"

Liu Ji smiled proudly, and did not argue, only asked: "Madam, just tell me if you like it or not."

Qin Yao nodded, and said politely: "It's OK."

She said so, but her hands were not polite at all.

She reached out to take off his hair crown, and his long hair that had just been washed fell down like a waterfall.

The beauty under the lamp was amazing.

She approached him, looked again and again, kissed his lips, and without any nonsense, she started to untie the jade belt around his waist.

Liu Ji asked, which man of his father could stand this? !

He quickly held down the rebellious hand, bent down, picked up the person horizontally, and put him on the bed.

The red curtain fell, and the candlelight swayed.

It was snowing outside the house, and the snowflakes turned with the wind, swaying in the vast sky and earth.

The wind and snow melted together and condensed into a ball.

On the earth, there were white snow dragons, with a shocking momentum, wishing to sweep away everything in the world.

Until a ray of light appeared in the sky and the day was coming, the wind and snow stopped and covered the earth softly.

"Liu Ji, your family will be handed over to you from now on. I want to travel around the world."

Qin Yao closed her eyes and lay on the bed, saying lazily.

Liu Ji was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. He only vaguely heard the first half of the sentence and was secretly happy in his heart.

But he didn't hear the second half at all.

He dazedly grabbed her into his arms and hugged her tightly, resting his head on her neck and shoulders and said coquettishly:

"My wife, stop talking, let's go to sleep, okay?"

After asking, without waiting for Qin Yao to answer, he tilted his head and fell asleep. (End of this chapter)
