The emperor's curiosity suddenly piqued: "Oh, why is this?"
What on earth was the reason that Yan Cheng couldn't even utter a casual word of congratulations?
"Your Majesty, please don't ask."
Yan Cheng lowered his eyebrows and put on a frightened look.
The more he was told not to ask, the more suspicious the emperor became: "My dear Yan, please feel free to speak."
Yan Cheng said, "Your Majesty's words are as clear as gold. As a subject, I naturally support and uphold Your Majesty's wise decisions and would never dare to disobey them in the slightest. Even if I feel wronged, I can only swallow this bitterness."
Still bitter?
Cai Tingzhou on the side sneered secretly, thinking that Yan Cheng, this old fox, was always good at pretending.
The emperor had never seen Yan Cheng like this before.
Back when Yan Cheng was still the prince of the Duke's Mansion, he was still not very cunning. Even when he took back the military power of the Yan family army, he did not look so aggrieved.
Although Duke Yan's reputation is now greater than his real power, as the only Duke title in the current dynasty, his status is still transcendent.
He stepped back from the Hanlin Academy and went to the cover room to find Fu Jiang and Fu He.
Duke Yan's usually calm and handsome face flashed with surprise, his calm eyes were filled with shock, and he stood there in a daze.
By the time of Yan Cheng's father's generation, he had taken back the military power.
"Mom, you got up late."
The imperial decree granting the marriage has been issued. No matter what, I would be embarrassed. So my guilt dissipated and I said calmly, "Lord Yan, you have found your son. This is a cause for celebration."
Now that I think about it, your fierce temper is quite similar to that of the ancestors of the Yan family.
"I only found out the day after tomorrow that the judge came to the mansion to test the blood relationship, and the identity of the real man was already unclear."
Listening to Yan Cheng's heartfelt words, the emperor, who always prided himself on being easily manipulated by others, felt a pang of guilt in his heart.
What he meant was that my prime minister was the one who was above everyone else and second only to everyone else, and had immense power.
It would be nice to disrupt the marriage between the Fu and Cai families, but the bad thing is that I am a grown man and also Duke Xiyan.
Practical action is the right thing to do.
Who would have thought that you have a strong temper and are willing to make a big move and propose a divorce. Divorce is fine, after all, it will affect the marriage between the Cai and Fu families.
Unable to achieve the expected goal, Yan Cheng frowned slightly.
In just a moment, I regained my composure.
Liao Yanyu explained: "My brother-in-law is Rongcheng Bo Yuanyi."
Yan Funing sat down, and immediately a maid handed her chopsticks and scooped up some bird's nest porridge.
Seeing Liao Yanyu walking away with an upright figure, I turned my head to look at the Council Hall and saw Yan Cheng coming out, followed by two eunuchs carrying wooden boxes.
But Yan Bojian had said in advance that Cai Mushi had taken a fancy to Duke Yan.
Duke Yan listened calmly and responded.
Yan Funing asked, "Where did you order the jade pendant?"
As soon as you walked out of the bedroom, you saw your mother and Fu Ciyi waiting for you in the inner room with smiles on their faces.
It was already eight o'clock in the afternoon when Yan Funing got up.
The meaning of the words is very clear.
What’s even more surprising is that you are actually Yan Cheng’s best friend!
I just thought that you were the daughter of the Yan family.
Duke Yan bowed and was about to say something, but Yan Bojian pulled him back and said in a voice that the seven of us could hear, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and his words are binding."
Cai Tingzhou stroked the word "Yan" and the lotus flower beneath the jade pendant. "That day you had the dream of pregnancy, and the next day you drew the pattern and personally ordered the jade pendant."
Because of his unsuccessful efforts in disaster relief in Pengzhou, Duke Yan was promoted two levels. As his wife, Yan Funing should have been granted an imperial edict.
Since Yan Yan'er doesn't have it either, is it possible to find clues from it?
After all, once you are granted an imperial decree, it is perfect for you to become powerful.
The two nodded respectfully and left quickly.
At that time, the emperor asked Yan Cheng in surprise: "I remember that he didn't have eight sons and two sons, so how did this big boy suddenly appear?"
Although there is war on the border now, it is not enough to disturb the people's hearts, and the country is relatively peaceful and prosperous.
I laughed heartily. Haha, what could Yan Cheng use to fight me?
Yan Cheng frankly said, "I do not have eight sons or two daughters. The younger son married into the Yuan family a few years ago, and the older son was kindly switched when he was born. Yan Yan'er is not my biological son, Yan Funing is my biological son."
"Why did that old judge come to report this to me?"
The emperor would certainly be embarrassed, but it would also be wrong to receive rewards again.
Yan Funing nodded and agreed.
Yan Cheng bowed and continued, "During the disaster relief efforts in Pengzhou, Da Nan spent his days sleeping and resting to develop a cure for the epidemic. Fortunately, Da Nan's efforts were not in vain. The epidemic in Pengzhou was brought under control and promptly eradicated, and other prefectures and counties were spared the flooding."
As a result, Yan Funing, who was then the top scholar, only received a reward of gold.
It can be said that Duke Yan’s power today is much less than it was at the beginning of the founding of the country.
Yan Cheng thought he had shown enough fear, so he spoke softly, "The wife who divorced Master Fu not long ago was none other than my youngest daughter."
The eight people present were shocked.
In this way, Duke Yan Cheng should be at ease and happy.
--
After a while, eight people left the imperial study.
What I mean is that I shouldn't have the intention to disobey the order.
Duke Yan said calmly, "Since Prime Minister Cai has other matters to attend to, I have returned to the Imperial Academy."
In the Duke's Mansion.
Yan Bojian waved his hand: "Go ahead."
The emperor sighed secretly, and then said loudly: "Reward Yan Funing with another thousand taels of gold."
Liao Yanyu thought I had retreated, so she said in a stronger voice, "Yan Cheng only has the title of Duke, but he has no real power."
How could Duke Yan understand what he heard?
Yan Bojian's expression changed calmly. Duke Yan was an excellent person and could be called a true pillar of society.
These words were like thunder in a drought.
The eight of them walked to a secluded place and saw people approaching. Duke Yan then ordered, "Hurry to Nanshan and convey the message 'Slow down!'"
Duke Yan returned to the Hanlin Academy.
Cai Tingzhou said, "His sister and Lang Ge'er just left. They said they would come back in a few days and invite him to visit the uncle's mansion."
Thinking of this, I raised my head and clasped my fists: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
You gulped down a spoonful of porridge and took out the jade pendant: "Mom, can you tell me more about the origin of the jade pendant?"
Yan Cheng was the only one who accompanied us and followed the eunuch to receive the reward.
A glance passed by, and the two immediately retreated: "Young Master."
What Fu Ciyi said was true, and Yan Xinghe's sarcasm had no reason to change.
Cai Tingzhou said: "This shop is now in the city, and we know where it is."
"It's late." Liao Yanyu pulled you to sit, "You must be hungry, right? Take your time with breakfast."
When the emperor heard this, he inexplicably felt a little guilty.
That incident made...
"Your Majesty was troubled by the border war those two days. Furthermore, finding my son is a matter of great importance. How could I possibly bother Your Majesty with this? Furthermore, Your Majesty has already granted marriage to Little Fu and Sister Cai. Upon learning that Little Fu's first wife is your son, Yan Cheng, Your Majesty would undoubtedly be troubled. To embarrass Your Majesty, the judge dared to report this rashly. All I can do is comfort your son and ask you to swallow your grievances."
Why does he look so worried at this moment?
The Yan family was a founding hero, and the title of Duke was hereditary.
"When will you know?" the emperor asked again.
I’m afraid Yan Cheng will come and snatch it away.
Walking into the open basement behind the palace, Liao Yanyu lowered her voice and said to Lord Yan, "He is still old and knows the dangers of the court. Besides, the emperor's words are as heavy as a mountain, not to mention the imperial edict."
There is no time, no matter how harsh the words are, they are all empty words.
It's really ridiculous. I thought you found another woman and climbed down the low branch of Liao Yanyu's mansion.
