Chapter 78 The Emperor Has Changed
Shen Qingtang deliberately kept a distance from Lu Jiuan, and didn't say much along the way.
Lu Jiuan's sword was fast and steady, and he deliberately slowed down to take care of Shen Qingtang. Three days later, they finally arrived at the imperial city.
Shen Tianming and Mu Wan waited for Shen Qingtang to return in the Golden Palace early.
Seeing Shen Qingtang again after more than a month, Shen Tianming felt that Shen Qingtang had changed a little, but it seemed that he had not changed. In short, he felt weird.
"Qingtang, you are finally back, come here and let your father take a good look."
Shen Tianming smiled and waved to Shen Qingtang.
"Yes, father." Shen Qingtang walked over with a well-behaved look.
"Qingtang, you've lost weight." Shen Tianming's eyes were filled with heartache, "Tell your father what happened during this period of time?"
To be honest, Shen Qingtang had been away from the palace for so long, Shen Tianming missed her a little.
"Yes, father."
Shen Qingtang told him everything that had happened during this period of time, but she still kept some things secret.
In order to let Li Yi get promoted smoothly, Shen Qingtang gave Li Yi the credit for destroying the enemy's nest in Lingquan Town.
Mu Wan was terrified when she heard this, she didn't expect Shen Qingtang to have experienced so many things outside.
At the birthday party, Shen Qingtang ruined Mu Wan's plan. Prime Minister Xiao took advantage of this incident to let his daughter sit on the throne of the Crown Princess. Although Xiao Hening and Shen Junlin have not yet started the marriage process, this is already a done deal.
Because of this incident, Mu Wan is still angry with Shen Qingtang.
But now after hearing Shen Qingtang's experience, Mu Wan's anger has subsided a little.
After all, Shen Qingtang is still her daughter. She can't just stop having anything to do with Shen Qingtang forever.
Mu Wan had to admit defeat in the end. In the future, she will pay more attention to Xiao Hening. She wants to train Xiao Hening into a qualified Crown Princess.
Mu Wan took Shen Qingtang's hand and looked at her tenderly: "Qingtang, you have suffered outside."
Shen Qingtang smiled at her: "Mother, my daughter is not suffering, but Lord Li and those dead girls and soldiers are more suffering." Shen Qingtang
turned to look at Shen Tianming, "Father, Lord Li is a good official. He not only eliminated the enemy spies hidden in Lingquan Town, but also saved my daughter's life. You must reward him well."
"It's a pity that such a brave and resourceful person is only a small county lieutenant."
Shen Tianming nodded with satisfaction and agreed: "Okay, father will definitely reward him well."
Shen Tianming couldn't tell who was a good official and who was a spy. Now Shen Qingtang stood up and recommended a candidate to him. Shen Tianming was so happy that he couldn't contain himself.
"Qingtang, you have become much more sensible after your trip. Father is very pleased."
Shen Tianming patted Shen Qingtang on the shoulder and looked at her lovingly.
"Father, mother, I was ignorant before and I made you worry."
"My daughter only now understands your difficulties. Father and mother, rest assured, I will do my best to help you in the future."
Shen Qingtang's mouth was like honey, saying a lot of nice things, making Shen Tianming and the others happy.
"Okay, okay." Hearing that Shen Qingtang wanted to help him, Shen Tianming was even happier. Getting rid of the spy was just around the corner!
After a moment, Shen Qingtang looked at Mu Wan with a guilty look on her face, tears sparkling in her eyes.
"Mother, last time at your birthday party, my daughter did something wrong, which hurt Miss Xiao and my eldest brother..."
"Mother, please punish my daughter."
Shen Tianming was not present at the time and did not hear Shen Qingtang's thoughts. He did not know that Shen Qingtang did it on purpose.
Now that Shen Qingtang has become so well-behaved, she will do her best to do things for him in the future. Shen Tianming will not punish her no matter what.
Shen Tianming spoke in front of Mu Wan: "Silly child, how could your mother punish you?"
"Since you already know that you are wrong, let it go."
Shen Tianming thinks it is good to let Xiao Hening be the crown princess. After all, he has watched this child grow up since she was a child.
At present, only Mu Wan knows that Xiao Hening will lead to the destruction of Fengyin Kingdom.
Mu Wan had thought that she could handle Xiao Hening herself, so she didn't tell Shen Tianming about this matter, and she didn't find a suitable reason to mention this matter to Shen Tianming.
Now that Xiao Hening is set to be the Crown Princess, Mu Wan is even less likely to tell this matter.
Shen Tianming has already spoken, and Mu Wan can't say anything else.
"Yes, how could mother blame you? Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, as long as you correct them."
Shen Qingtang looked at them with emotion, choking and said: "Father, mother, you are so good to me."
Shen Qingtang climbed up along the pole, and continued to fight for more benefits for himself, so that he could do things better with real power.
"Father, mother, the New Year is coming soon. The palace will hold a banquet on New Year's Eve. I want to do my part and participate in the banquet."
"I did a great job at the last birthday banquet. I will definitely do better at this New Year's Eve banquet."
Shen Tianming agreed immediately after hearing this. It was not a big deal. It was good to let Shen Qingtang exercise.
Shen Tianming thought that on the one hand, Shen Qingtang was his daughter, and he had to pamper her when it was time. On the other hand, he still had to rely on Shen Qingtang to catch the spies, so it was necessary to build a good relationship with Shen Qingtang.
"Qingtang, father already knows what Fang Yu, that bastard, did to you. You've worked hard on this journey. Go back and have a good rest. We'll talk about anything later."
"When you were captured by the assassin, there was a fire in the Moon-Catching Palace. Father has sent people to repair the Moon-Catching Palace. It's better than before. Go and take a look. Do you like it?"
Shen Tianming's expression was like offering a treasure.
"Thank you, father. I'll go back and take a look."
Shen Qingtang bowed to them, then turned and left.
After leaving the Golden Throne Hall, the smile on Shen Qingtang's face disappeared instantly.
[Something's wrong. Father's condition is very wrong! ]
[Is he too nice to me?]
The renovated Moon-Surrendering Palace was much more luxurious.
Shen Qingtang was immediately shocked.
[With this level of luxury, won’t Shen Muchin be jealous?]
Shen Qingtang thought again.
[Maybe Shen Muchin’s bedroom is better than mine.]
The palace maids and guards are still the same as before.
[That old Deng is still a bit trustworthy.]
The guard guarding the palace door saw Shen Qingtang and thought he was seeing things. He wiped his eyes and took a closer look. It was indeed the Fourth Princess! Following behind her was General Lu!
He shouted happily to the palace maids and guards in the palace: "The Fourth Princess is back, the Fourth Princess is back!"
