Qin Shi was not alone in the small hall.

Qin Shi saw that on the chair on the opposite side, there was also a man of short stature.

The man has gray hair and looks like he is in his early forties. When Qin Shi looked at him, the man's gaze also turned to Qin Shi, and he nodded slightly at Qin Shi, revealing a smile.

Qin Shi also smiled generously at the man. It's just that he can feel that this man's eyes are like a sharp knife. If he guessed correctly, this man should have been born in the military and was an excellent general.

Qin Shi's guess was not wrong, it was just the identity of the man, but he couldn't speculate further. He couldn't imagine that sitting opposite him at this time was the deputy commander of the Fourth Division of the Vermilion Bird Legion, Zhang Huai.

Zhang Huai naturally didn't know that the little guy in front of him was the culprit who made him travel thousands of miles and bear the guilt.

Zhang Huai has already sent the heads of Mo Fei and Zhang Tiande, along with most of the wealth looted over the years, to the princess's mansion for several days.

After he came to see his intentions, he only received a reception from a small steward, and it was only last night that he received a message that the chief steward of the princess's mansion had summoned him.

Zhang Huai ran over early in the morning. Don't look at his words in Longyuan District, in Chaoge City, even the words of a steward in the princess's mansion have more weight than him.

After the briefing, he was taken to the small hall to wait for the chief steward. Zhang Huai was quite excited in his heart. Although it was not the eldest princess who received him personally, the chief administrator was willing to see him, which means that Her Royal Highness the princess should also know that this matter is a misunderstanding, and clarify the misunderstanding, then his career will be fine, and if he can get the support of the princess's mansion, the future will be limitless.

Zhang Huai's eyes swept over Qin Shi, and he could tell that Qin Shi's cultivation was low, and looking at Qin Shi's cautious appearance, he also judged that Qin Shi did not look like a child of a family.

"What's the origin of this little guy?"

Zhang Huai was still ready to get close to Qin Shi. However, before he could finish his words and prepare to speak, he heard a rush of footsteps outside.

"But Qin Shi and Qin Gongzi?"

The man in charge was still outside the small hall, and the voice had already drifted in.

Zhang Huai's heart was shocked, the voice of the chief steward was calm and mellow, full of confidence, and the force was unfathomable.

"It's ...... me"

Qin Shi jumped down from the chair and looked out the door, but saw a middle-aged man with a slender figure and a white beard striding in, full of spring breeze and very kind.

Qin Shi hurriedly learned the understanding of the Yin Tang people, bent down slightly to the chief manager, and saluted. In the princess's mansion, the position of the chief manager, but he has official character and can afford him as a commoner.

"Oh yes, when did Childe enter the city, I'm really slacking off......"

The chief steward turned sideways to avoid Qin Shi's salute, and said with a smile: "Son, don't kill the old slave, in our Yin Tang, there are few people who dare to let you salute, if it is seen by outsiders, the backbone of the old slave will be poked ...... pieces."

The chief manager's voice was so humble that Qin Shi was a little incredulous.

This is naturally due to information asymmetry.

After Yin Sa returned to Chaoge, he reported to the emperor that Qin Shi was considered a righteous brother.

If the emperor approves it, plus the Zongzheng Mansion confirms it, then Qin Shi will become the royal family of Yin and Tang. It's not like this hasn't happened before. In order to strengthen the royal bloodline, some young talents with great potential were either recruited as concubines or given princesses to bind them to the royal family.

There is also a method, which is even more simple and rude, directly giving royal status.

Emperor Yin Tang did not have much opinion on this matter, and quickly approved it. However, the Elders of Zongzheng Mansion stuck on the matter, saying that Qin Shi's talent had not been confirmed by Zongzheng Mansion, so he couldn't be so casual and dismissed it.

Of course, the people of Zongzheng Mansion didn't know that Qin Shi had a big killing weapon like the mother planet on his body, otherwise how could he push such a person outside.

Zongzheng Mansion has a transcendent status, and Yin Sa is helpless about their behavior. However, His Majesty the Emperor said that when Qin Shi arrived at Chaoge one day, he would go to Zongzheng Mansion to go through the motions and then give Qin Shi the status of the imperial family.

His Majesty the Emperor even said that even if Qin Shi was not accepted by the Zongzheng Mansion, he was determined to treat Qin Shi as an adopted son, and in the future, he would choose a princess or county lord who matched his age to marry him.

This can be regarded as the emperor's golden words, giving Qin Shi a rich future.

The emperor's words made the elders of the Zongzheng Mansion stunned. They don't understand. Why would Qin Shi have a blue eye for a little kid he had never met.

However, when they think about it, they think about something deeper.

His Majesty the Emperor is standing up for the eldest princess, and this kind of behavior is undoubtedly releasing a powerful signal, and the emperor's belief in the eldest princess has reached a new level.

No, that's a much more obvious sign.

Soon after, the eldest princess also made a splash and exploded her talent to the fullest. The title of the younger generation of the royal family fell on the eldest princess on the first day.

At this time, those who oppose the eldest princess must carefully consider their position.

What happened between Yin Sa, the emperor and Zongzheng Mansion is naturally impossible for outsiders to know, but it can't be hidden from the chief manager of the princess's mansion, and the inside story he knows is naturally more than superficial.

The chief manager even knew that the reason why Yin Sa was more and more valued by the emperor was because of Qin Shi.

This means that Qin Shi has a foothold in Yin and Tang, and he actually doesn't need the help of the eldest princess, and the emperor is his biggest backer.

Such a character, no matter how young he is, the chief manager does not dare to hold up in front of the other party.

Qin Shi sneered.

The chief steward led the way in front and wanted to take Qin Shi to the reception hall in the mansion to receive Qin Shi ceremoniously.

This scene made Zhang Huai, who had been waiting for two hours, sad to watch, and his heart was also shocked.

Whose child is this, even the chief manager of the princess's mansion, who is in the limelight, has to treat it with such humility.

This scene also made Zhang Huai faintly annoyed, he knew that this was the case, and when he saw this little guy, he should hurry up and get hot with him, and it's good to be familiar with his face!

"You are Zhang Huai, Master Zhang, right?"

Seeing Zhang Huai standing on the side with a smiling face, the chief manager stopped and showed an apologetic smile to Qin Shi: "Your Highness has read your letter." She said that she was not to blame for the past, and Yin Tang would not treat the heroes badly, but Yang Feng Yin disobeyed, and then did the silverfish thing, that is, she was guilty of the sky, and there was nothing to pray for. Take the things back, Your Highness doesn't miss you this thing......"

As he spoke, the chief manager took out a letter, flicked it lightly, and the letter flew flat to Zhang Huai's hand.

"Give this letter to your legion commander, and he will know what to do."

"Thank you for the grace of the eldest princess, thank you for the great grace of the chief manager!"

Zhang Huai knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed. However, when he raised his head, he found that the chief manager and Qin Shi were gone. He felt a secret annoyance in his heart again. There was still a thick envelope hidden in his sleeve, and the five million gold coins he had forgotten to give away.

I wonder if the chief manager will blame him for not knowing etiquette? Zhang Huai fell into self-pity.
