The Empress Makes a Private Visit, and I'm the All-Purpose County Magistrate!

Qin Mo transmigrated to an unfamiliar ancient kingdom and was appointed county magistrate. After one year of governing, the people in his county lived in peace and prosperity, and everyone praised Magistrate Qin. In March of the following year, the reigning empress traveled incognito among the people, searching for talent to help secure her rule. When she reached Qiu Kou County, she found it so prosperous that it rivaled the imperial capital. It even had all kinds of novel things she, the emperor herself, had never heard of. She approached Qin Mo under the guise of an official's daughter, and so... "Thank you, Master Qin. My father said His Majesty used your plan a few days ago and caught all those treacherous ministers who harbored ulterior motives! This is half the reward my father received. He asked me to bring it to you~" "Thank you, Master Qin. My father said His Majesty used the military treatise you sent a few days ago and drove off all those barbarian invaders plotting against us! This is half the reward General received. He asked me to bring it to you~" "Thank you, Master Qin. My father said he told His Majesty you were hiding out here, and that she wants to summon you to court and appoint you to a high office~" Qin Mo went to court to meet the emperor, but when he looked up and saw the familiar face, he froze. "Magistrate Qin, would you rather serve among the civil and military officials, or become the steward of my private chambers?"
