Fu Hengyu had no fear at all. After all, she knew in her heart that she could get this position now because of Shen Yuerong's relationship with Lord Su.

As for why the prince spoke up for me in the end, perhaps it was because my talent really caught his eye.

"General Fu, my prince wants to see you."

Just when they were in a stalemate, a group of people came in from outside the door, and the person leading them was Chi Mu's personal bodyguard.

In this way, everyone had their own opinions.

Fu Hengyu was a little surprised, but still went out with them.

At the entrance of the government office.

It was very low-key on the outside, but inside there was an extremely luxurious carriage parked not far away.

When Fu Hengyu saw it, he lowered his head and hurried over.

He did not get on the carriage, but replied from under the carriage, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Since returning to Beijing, he and the prince had only met briefly on the city wall, and they had no contact since then.

He really couldn't figure out why the prince would ask for an official position for himself in front of His Majesty, but he still thanked him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for speaking well of me in front of His Majesty. I am now able to sit in this position. I will never let Your Majesty down in the future. If Your Majesty wants to help me in any way, I will do my best."

Chi Mu lifted the car curtain and looked up at the person in front of him.

Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, that face still makes me feel extremely disgusted.

"Master Fu, you are joking. As a prince, I dare not easily interact with ministers in the court. I just felt like this today. I think Master Fu is having a hard time in the frontier. If he can get a position in the capital and stay in the capital, not only will he be free, but also... he can make people in the palace worry less."

"Yes, but no matter what, I still want to thank you for speaking well of me in front of His Majesty. Because of your words, His Majesty not only gave respect to me, but also to the officers and soldiers in the army."

Originally it was just some rewards, but because of the prince's words, several other people in the army also stayed in the capital, and each of them gained fame.

Although he was only a minor official of the eighth or ninth rank, he could still stay in the capital and no longer have to go back to the frontier to live a hard life.

"I only met the general's wife by chance. I used to have some dealings with the miracle doctor and met her several times. But now she looks a little haggard. Since the general has stayed in the capital, he should take good care of his wife and not let her suffer any grievances."

"You know... my wife?"

In the previous few meetings, he and Shen Yuerong pretended to be very unfamiliar with each other.

Even in front of His Majesty, they only exchanged a few words of greeting.

He originally thought that the two of them had only met a few times in the past.

"Whether they are familiar or not, you should ask your wife. After all, what I say does not count. Moreover... in my eyes, I also treat your wife as a sister. I just wonder if your wife takes me, her brother, to heart?"

"Of course she is... but she hasn't seen the prince for a long time, and her family is not doing as well as before, so she doesn't dare to easily get close to the prince's mansion."

"Then when you go back today, tell her that I haven't seen her for a long time. Three days later, I will invite you and your wife to a banquet together."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Chi Mu said everything he wanted to say, then turned and left.

Fu Hengyu watched his carriage going away, his heart filled with joy. He asked for leave in the afternoon and hurried back home, telling the old lady everything.

"My son, you finally made it. Mother is naturally happy, but...will there be any explosion? And that prince, as far as I know, he didn't have a close relationship with the Shen family before, so how could..."

"Mother, why do you have to care so much? As long as he can get close to the palace, your son's future will be bright. Why bother about the relationship between the two?"

"Besides, there is no true love between me and that Shen Yuerong at all!"

Madam Fu sighed.

"Then you must not take it lightly. If they have an affair and their relationship is not right, and someone sees them...then you will be the one who bears the blame."

Fu Hengyu sneered.

"Mother, how can Shen Yuerong, who is now a broken flower and a withered willow, attract the favor of that prince? If she were not still useful, my son would have divorced her and expelled her from the mansion long ago. How can a person with an incomplete body and hair be worthy of the prince?"

His eyes were full of calculations, and he said again, "Now that I can maintain a friendly relationship with the palace, I think it's good. When the banquet comes, I will bring Yue'er with me. If Yue'er catches the prince's eye, our general's palace will also have a marriage with the palace. Then, won't there be a future?"

Madam Fu's expression softened.

"That's right. If you can get close to the palace, you can also help your sister. In this case, you can go down and make good preparations. If there is anything you need, just ask the housekeeper in the palace to give it to you."

"Okay, mother, I'll go down first."

The old lady nodded, and then spoke with some fear, "Although Yue'er has been under the guidance of Nanny Zhou recently, and her behavior has improved a lot, she is still not as good as the noble ladies in the capital. When you take her out, you must keep an eye on her for your mother."

"Don't worry, mother. I will."

After Fu Hengyu left the old lady's courtyard, he went to Shen Yuerong and told her about this matter.

"You said that for this fifth-rank official position, not only did the prince mention your name before His Majesty, he even asked you to come to the palace for a gathering in three days?"

Shen Yuerong was very confused.

It was just a game at first, but Chi Mu actually made it real.

Could it be because of what I said in the carriage last time?

She frowned, somewhat confused.

Things are getting a little out of control.

…

Naturally, this matter also reached Fu Hengyue's ears. She was very happy and began to choose what kind of clothes she should wear and what kind of jewelry she should bring when attending the banquet.

Originally, Nanny Zhou was responsible for taking care of these things, but after asking Shen Yuerong, she followed her.

Without Nanny Zhou to stop her, Fu Hengyue's outfit looked a bit petty and unsuitable for such a solemn occasion.

Nanny Zhou wanted to speak, but when she saw the man's smug look, she didn't want to say anything more.

Three days passed in a flash.

In three whole days, Fu Hengyu visited all the famous families in the capital.

Although he was only a minor official of the fifth rank, he had obtained the emperor's order and was favored by the prince, which was considered pretty good.

Standing at the gate of the palace, Fu Hengyu and Fu Hengyue both looked envious.

Now they can easily step into such a noble gate.

Inside the palace.

Chi Mu had already ordered people to prepare everything that Shen Yuerong liked, and even adjusted every item in the banquet hall according to the previous specifications of the Shen Mansion.

He looked outside impatiently, and saw that the group of people had been led in by the servants in the mansion, so he sat back in his original seat.
