Chapter 981 Must Stay in Beijing
The scholars who were waiting to see Shao Yunduan's excitement were very disappointed.
How lucky is this guy! He didn't expect that the Crown Prince and the Emperor would cover up for him, allowing him to escape so easily!
With the words of the Emperor and the Crown Prince, who would dare to bring up this matter again? If anyone dared to bring it up, wouldn't that be going against the Emperor and the Crown Prince?
When Emperor Xuan of Qi saw Lord Tian and Shao Yunduan drinking, he laughed and praised them. Everyone joined in the fun, and the scene became lively again.
Afterwards, they appreciated everyone's poems, Emperor Xuan of Qi gave each of them rewards, and all the scholars wrote poems together and drank wine, having a great time!
It was lively for half a day before it dispersed and everyone left the Imperial Garden one after another.
When he left, in addition to Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou, Shao Yunduan was also accompanied by some other classmates, who took the initiative to greet him and exchanged polite words with him.
Shao Yunduan acted as if nothing had happened before and exchanged greetings with them politely.
The world has always been like this, and most people have the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. He did not mock or disdain their quick change of attitude.
However, it is also true that a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Greetings are greetings and pleasantries are pleasantries, but in his heart he would not easily regard them as real friends.
Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou were genuinely happy for Shao Yunduan. They admired Shao Yunduan's talent. With Shao Yunduan around, they subconsciously relaxed a lot, as if they had found a backbone.
Now that the danger has been resolved, they thought the Tian family would no longer hold on to this matter, so they were of course relieved.
The two of them sent Shao Yunduan back together. When Qiao Xuan saw them coming together, with Lu and Gu smiling, she was stunned.
Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou's eyes were shining with excitement. They talked to Qiao Xuan one after another about Shao Yunduan's glory at the Qionglin Banquet, and how the matter with the Tian family was settled with no future troubles.
Qiao Xuan hurriedly looked at Shao Yunduan.
Shao Yunduan smiled and nodded, and quickly handed her the jade ruyi: "This is a gift from the emperor, keep it well."
This jade ruyi was not only given by the emperor, but also for this matter. If anyone dares to talk too much and keep pestering me, I can use this jade ruyi to deal with him!
Qiao Xuan took it and carefully opened the brocade box, and saw a white jade ruyi several feet long quietly placed on the bright yellow silk. The jade was warm and soft, and one end was carved with auspicious clouds, auspicious grass and Ganoderma lucidum, which was very exquisite.
This is genuine and priceless stuff!
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "I am finally enlightened today. It is indeed a gift from the Emperor. It is such a beautiful jade ruyi!"
Lu Min smiled and said, "Brother Shao is very talented and has caught the emperor's eye. He has a bright future ahead of him. In the future, I'm afraid there will be so many rewards like this that my sister-in-law won't be able to accept them all!"
Gu Zhiyou: “That’s right, hahaha!”
Several people burst into laughter.
The crisis was temporarily resolved and the tense atmosphere disappeared. Lu Min and the other person had endless things to say to Shao Yunduan, so the three of them went to the study together. Qiao Xuan then asked Liqiu and Lixia to buy some groceries and asked them to stay for dinner before returning.
When Lu Min and Gu Zhiyou left the Shao family courtyard, dusk had just fallen and the afterglow of the sunset in the sky was slowly fading.
Qiao Xuan was tending to and pruning a bunch of azaleas in the courtyard, while Shao Yunduan stood by and watched.
"My husband, you can't quit your job, right?"
The emperor has given her the jade ruyi! Qiao Xuan understood clearly.
Shao Yunduan nodded, "I'm afraid he will definitely stay in Beijing."
