  Everyone quickly knelt down and was curious about what happened.

  In an instant, time seemed to freeze, and the surroundings were completely silent.

  “Xiaofu Ji takes the order!”The eunuch exclaimed loudly.

  Following heaven's destiny and according the imperial edict: Xiaofu Ji, the magistrate of Qi County, is upright, honest, brave, and capable. He is a rare talent in our Tang Dynasty and has been specially promoted to the position of Imperial Censor.You will go to the capital today to finish this order!

  Thanks to Lord’s solemn favor.

  Ji received the order with great joy, and the next day he set off for Chang'an City, accompanied by Qin’An along the way.

  This trip was relatively long,so Ji asked NingShuang to stay at home temporarily and contacted him by letter after he arrived at his post.

  For Ji, he was excited. Originally, he was still regretting his failure to win the championship, but now only a year had passed and he was returning to the capital. Moreover, he was personally appointed by the emperor. What an honor!

  Great fame was gained through the case of Ming. Liu ,Later,Ji took a series of measures to govern Qi County in an orderly manner, which received praise from the local people.

  Before taking the position, Ji remembered his benefactor Chaoyi Xu and ready to visite him.

  When Xu saw Xiaofu Ji, he knew that Ji was the child he had been desperately protecting, and he was very pleased.

  He moved how correct his original decision was. Ji had become a graceful young man after ten yesrs. Seeing him so outstanding, Xu was extremely excited and couldn't help but shed tears.

  Xu once again told Ji to love his country and the people, fulfill his long unfulfilled wishes, and he would keep paying attention to Ji silently.

  After hearing about Ji's great actions in Qi County, Xu was very pleased and quietly wrote a letter recommending Ji to the manager.

  The Minister of Rites often heard his son HuaRong praise Xiaofu Ji so he had a good impression of him. Now he had received a recommendation letter from Xu, which was even more impressive.

  It coincided with the passing of Grand Master Feng of the Imperial Censor, and the position of the Imperial Censor (from the sixth rank down) was vacant. The Minister of Rites immediately recommended Ji to the emperor and told him about his deeds.

  At that time, New Emperor and Prime Minister Yan Yang were vigorously promoting the "Tax Laws". Xiaofu Ji was the first person in Jiangnan Region to actively support and achieved good results, thus winning the favor of the emperor.

  The emperor was overjoyed and immediately ordered Xiaofu Ji to enter the capital.

  Xiaofu Ji, Qin’An, and others came to the capital without stopping and found a place to live.

  Hua Rong was very happy to hear about Ji's arrival and actively entertained him.

  They were of similar age and personality, often gathering together, and had a very close relationship, just like brothers in blood.

  Shortly after, Ji became familiar with various young masters and celebrities in the capital.

  Xiaofu Ji, HuaRong were young, talented, and handsome,they quickly became famous figures in the capital.

  A gossip rank was privately listed of the "Top Ten Young Scholars in the Capital", with Ji and HuaRong being the top figures which became the discussion among people at leisure time in the capital .

  One day, Ji was wandering in the street when he suddenly met a group of people and horses. The boy in front of them took the initiative to get close to Ji.

  “What's the matter? "Ji Xiaofu asked in confusion.

  My master asks, please! "Replied the boy respectfully.

  “Who is your master? "Ji Xiaofu asked again.

  “You will know when you go,my lord.”

  Ji followed the boy over.

  Walking to a pavilions, the boy suddenly stepped back. Just as Ji was puzzled, a figure appeared behind him.

  She was wearing a pink gauze dress, with small strands of hair. Her figure was slim and fair, with a pair of big bright eyes hidden beneath her curved eyebrows.

  “You are? "Ji looked at her in confusion, his eyes wided open.

  “Sisi Qin "the woman replied.

  Ji suddenly realized that she was the young master Qin who met at the banquet a few days ago.

  Ji didn't expect that she was a girl and an unparalleled beauty.

  Until now, Ji realized that she was the prime minister, Jin Qian’s daughter Sisi Qin, who was known as the "first beautiful lady in the capital".

  At this moment, Ji suddenly thought of something.

  “So your brother... "Ji pursued.

  “She's my sister, Ruru Li. " Sisi answered first before Ji finished speaking.

  Until now, Ji realized that the two young masters he met at HuaRong's house that day were actually the daughters of two prime ministers of the current dynasty, Sisi Qin and Ruru Li.

  Lord Qin and Lord Li had been close friends for many years, they were very close and were neighbors. Coincidentally, the two lords gave birth to a daughter in the same year and month, which was even more surprising.

  Sisi and Ruru grew up together as sisters in blood.

  They always went out together, played together, and had fun together.

  They were both great beauties, with very close relationships but vastly different personalities.

  Sisi was agile while Ruru was gentle, Sisi was good at martial arts while Ruru was fond of literature. Sisi was straightforwardwhiel Ruru was calm. Sisi was fierce and sharp, however,with a soft heart while Ruru's witty words are continuous, like a gentle interpretive flower.

  They were both prime ministers of daughters, with extremely beautiful lookings and always appearing together, making them very famous in the capital.

  Sisi was known as the "first beautiful lady in the capital", and Ruru was known as the "first talented lady in the capital".

  Ji and HuaRong made many friends and participated in various activities during their leisure time, leading a happy life.

  Sisi and Huarong families were also close. They had known each other since childhood and had a good relationship.

  Sisi was lively and outgoing,she enjoyed making friends. On that day, HuaRong invited friends including Sisi. Sisi was afraid that she was a girl and was embarrassed to play with the young masters, so she disguised herself as a man with Ruru to attend the party.

  Ji did not expect to meet two prime ministers’s daughters at this gathering. That day they had a great conversation, so Sisi specially invited Ji to meet again. Later, Ji met Ruru again, and the images of the two beautiful ladies emerged in Ji's mind.
