Chapter 184: The wedding is coming soon, don’t get angry easily

The Office of the Minister of Personnel.

Tang Shihuan stayed in her yard every day under the pretext of praying for the people of Jizhou.

In fact, she was almost going crazy.

At the beginning, Jiang Yunyao ran around the capital under the title of Crown Princess.

She was the chosen Crown Princess, but she couldn't go out and show off to her younger sisters, which made her feel very depressed.

But when she thought that this would earn her a good reputation as a kind and benevolent person who cares about the people, she endured it.

Just look, after hearing that Pei had a secret meeting with a strange man in a teahouse, Tang Shihuan almost went crazy with joy.

Inside the room, Tang Shihuan's maid Cai Lian said with a look of smug delight, "Little Princess, that bitch Jiang Yunyao has a mother like that. She's definitely not going to make it in the capital."

"So, you don't have to worry day and night."

Tang Shihuan felt relieved when she heard the words "Crown Princess".

She held herself high and raised her eyebrows, "Cai Lian, go out and spread the news. Tell them that this Crown Princess has been kneeling before the Buddha day and night to pray for the people of Jizhou and has fainted several times!"

Cai Lian looked at the somewhat thin Tang Shihuan with a smile on her face, "Crown Princess, I promise to take care of this matter."

"Go!"

After Cai Lian left, Tang Shihuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Recently, she was always worried that Jiang Yunyao and Xiao Mocheng would rekindle their old love, and this period of "seclusion" was extremely painful.

Oh! This time I feel completely relieved.

Even if Prime Minister Jiang went to provide disaster relief, he would never be able to hold his head up high for the rest of his life because of being cuckolded.

Daddy said he also wants to be Prime Minister...

lobby.

As the wedding date approached, the wives of officials and noble ladies in the capital city made an appointment to come to the Minister of Personnel's residence to add to Tang Shihuan's makeup.

They said congratulations, but in fact, they were already jealous to death.

At the beginning, Tang Shihuan followed Jiang Yunyao like a follower, and she really took advantage of her.

This method works.

During the casual chat, a young lady from an official family said sarcastically, "Madam Tang, Huan'er has been praying for blessings for so long. We sisters miss her so much!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Tang raised her lips slightly and instructed the nanny beside her, "Take them to Huan'er's yard!"

She secretly complained in her heart: Missing Huan'er? Is he trying to curry favor with my Huan'er, the Crown Princess?

Ever since the imperial decree granting the marriage came down, the status of their Tang family in the capital has risen sharply.

Haha~ It’s human nature to curry favor with the powerful.

Even if the scandal involving the Pei family hadn't occurred, the Prime Minister's Mansion would have gradually declined...

Several young ladies from official families took their make-up bags, bowed to the ladies present, and followed the nanny to the backyard.

Although they don't want to please Tang Shihuan, she is the Crown Princess!

If they get along well and catch the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, perhaps she could become his concubine.

Ever since Jiang Qinian took on the task of disaster relief, the Minister of Personnel, Lord Tang, has been feeling angry.

Now, seeing that his daughter was about to marry into the Eastern Palace, he began to find ways to win people's hearts.

You go to Jizhou to provide disaster relief, and I will set up tents and provide porridge to beggars in the capital. This kind act can be regarded as a "gift" for my daughter to marry into the Eastern Palace.

The slums of Beijing.

After Lord Tang left the court, he went straight to the slums without even having time to change his position as an official.

He looked at the beggars who were wolfing down their food and said with a dignified manner, "Don't be anxious, everyone. Eat slowly. This meat porridge is enough for you to eat."

After he shouted this, the beggars immediately slowed down their eating.

The beggars were not stupid either, they naturally knew why Mr. Tang would do such a good deed of "giving out porridge".

Isn't it just to gain a good reputation?

They all understand.

The beggar leader said to the younger brother beside him: "Do you understand what Master Tang means?"

"Brother, we all understand. Please eat the meat quickly." The beggar said, and pushed the meat in his bowl into the bowl of the beggar leader.

After eating, they went to the streets and alleys to spread the good deeds done by Lord Tang.

Haha, as to whether it is a good thing for Lord Tang, these beggars have no idea.

Inside the palace.

After the news of the Tang family's porridge distribution in the slums reached the palace, Xiao Junze, who was handling the memorials, sneered.

He placed the memorial in his hand on the table, stood up and walked out of the hall, "This Lord Tang is even more ambitious than Prime Minister Jiang." There was a hint of anger in his tone.

Steward Ji pursed his lips, lowered his brows and followed Xiao Junze, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Anger is harmful to your health!"

The legitimate daughter of the Tang family is the Crown Princess, in other words, she may be the future Queen.

Lord Tang has become a little too proud of his status now that he has gained power.

Xiao Junze sneered, "I understand."

Forget it, they were just using the prince’s marriage to ward off bad luck, so if the Tang family wants to be in the spotlight, let them be!

East Palace.

After Xiao Mocheng heard about this, he was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand.

"idiot!"

"It's his turn to set up a tent and distribute porridge under the feet of the emperor." Xiao Mocheng was so angry that his face turned ashen and his chest kept heaving.

My father is very suspicious. He might think that I was the one who ordered the Tang family to do this.

The personal eunuch Xiao Shunzi looked at the furious Xiao Mocheng and knelt on the ground tremblingly, "Your Highness, please calm down..."

"You're getting married soon, don't get angry easily!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mocheng closed his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm not angry."

She is just the daughter of a civil servant, and she will succeed to the throne in the future... and become the new queen.

What he ultimately wants is military power.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mocheng's anger immediately subsided a lot.

Xiao Shunzi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Mocheng calm down.

Is Lord Tang out of his mind?

In order not to attract the emperor's attention, his prince is extremely low-key in everything he does.

Lord Tang, that idiot, just comes and makes trouble right away.

Alas, none of the noble ladies in the capital were worthy of his Highness.

The next day.

The prince's wedding was celebrated throughout the country, and the streets of the capital were bustling with activity.

All officials above the third rank could bring their families into the Eastern Palace to celebrate.

Princess Anran attended the ceremony in her best attire after being carefully dressed up by her maid.

Before leaving, Princess Anran smiled at Sheng Yunshao who was standing in the front hall.

"Brother Sheng, please stay at home. I'm going to the East Palace to attend the wedding of that unfilial nephew."

Sheng Yunshao was dazzled by this gentle smile, and his heart skipped a beat.

His old face flushed, and he said with a wandering look, "Well, take care of yourself. If you feel tired, come back early."

This heartwarming scene happened to be seen by Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin.

The two of them looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief.

Jiang Ruo lowered her voice, "Aunt and the old man are making pretty fast progress!"

"Ruoruo, you can rest assured and entrust your father-in-law to your aunt!" Xiao Chengjin said with a wicked smile.

Princess Anran, supported by her maid, turned and left shyly.

After spending these two days together, she always felt that Sheng Yunshao... seemed like a different person.

When he was the imperial physician in the palace, he never dared to look at himself.

Find a suitable opportunity...to express your feelings.

I don’t know whether Sheng Yunshao wants to be a prince consort.

If you don’t want to be a prince consort, you can just be his wife.

Sheng Yunshao looked at Princess Anran's departing back and sighed slightly.

I always feel like Princess Anran is looking at me, no, at my original self...

Sheng Yunshao, who saw through the truth, suddenly felt a little conflicted.

If Princess Anran knew she wasn't "him"...

Xiao Chengjin looked at the absent-minded Sheng Yunshao and raised his eyebrows.

"Father-in-law, Ruo Ruo and I will go to the palace. Please stay in the mansion."

Sheng Yunshao looked at Xiao Chengjin's smug look and said fiercely, "Let's go!"

An unfilial son-in-law will gloat over other people's misfortunes.

If it weren't for your dead father, would I have to hide here and there?

We, father and daughter, really owe you, father and son.
