Chapter 145: Fearing that he had lost his original intention and had delusions
She wants to try the mutton here.
"We have mutton hotpot, hand-pulled lamb and roasted lamb. Which one do you want to eat?" Shen Shilang asked.
Su Jinshi closed the door and pulled Shen Shilang out of the inn, saying, "I didn't expect it to be so cold here. How about having hotpot for lunch today? We'll have hand-pulled food tomorrow, and roasted lamb the day after tomorrow."
Shen Shilang laughed, "Okay."
However, Shen Shilang had to deal with official business in the afternoon.
Remind Su Jinshi not to go out alone, and if he wants to go out for a walk because of boredom, he must bring bodyguards with him.
Everyone in the inn knew about her relationship with Shen Shilang, and they would arrange guards to follow her whenever she went out.
However, Su Jinshi is a person who can sit still in the modern world, otherwise he would not have chosen a job like writing that requires sitting in front of a computer for a long time. Unless he travels to a completely unfamiliar place, he is not very interested in going out.
So even if I was alone in my room in the inn in the afternoon, I didn’t feel bored.
While Shen Shilang was away, Su Jinshi took out his notebook and started working.
However, because Shen Shilang was not there, her phone had no network signal, so she could not see what was happening on Shen Shilang's side through her phone.
The time thereafter was almost always arranged in this way.
While Shen Shilang was handling official business, Su Jinshi was working in the room.
When the situation in the northwest stabilized and a heavy rain came, everyone relaxed and watched the heavy rain excitedly.
Two days after the first heavy rain in the northwest, Emperor Jiacheng also received the letter sent back by Shen Shilang.
“Hahahahahahahaha!” Emperor Jiacheng looked at the contents of Shen Shilang’s letter and laughed loudly while sitting in the imperial study, “It turns out that I am destined to be king!”
Eunuch Shen stood aside, close enough to Emperor Jiacheng to be able to serve him at any time, yet far enough away so that he could not see the contents of the letter. He watched the emperor with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
After Emperor Jiacheng finished speaking, he promptly added, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Jiacheng was in a good mood. He chuckled without turning his head, "Do you know what it is? Just to congratulate me?"
"I don't know, but since Your Majesty is so happy, it must be a good thing, a great thing." Eunuch Shen bowed and said.
"Your Majesty, is there good news from the northwest?" Grand Tutor Liu, who had just returned from Liangjiang not long ago, also spoke up at the right time.
“Hahahahahaha!” Emperor Jiacheng laughed before he spoke. “Shen Shilang said in the letter that he has successfully communicated with the Supreme God and even asked the Supreme God for an elixir. Didn’t it rain heavily in the northwest two days ago? It must have been the work of the Supreme God!”
Master Liu: “…”
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, when was this letter sent out by Lord Shen?" asked Grand Tutor Liu.
That’s just the excuse the dog emperor gave in his letter to Shen Shilang.
It was clearly a coincidence.
Maybe Shen Shilang sent the letter overnight because it was raining.
However, the road to the northwest is long, and even if we run our horses to death for two days, we may not be able to deliver the letter.
I don’t know how Shen Shilang did it.
"Hahahahaha, I knew that the Grand Tutor would have such doubts." Emperor Jiacheng said happily, "However, Shen Qing's letter was sent seven days ago. It was delivered to me by fast horses, day and night."
Master Liu: “…”
Since it was sent out seven days ago, it should have rained six days ago.
How come it only dropped two days ago? What happened?
Do gods also need a ceremony to cast spells?
However, Master Liu didn't dare to say this because the dog emperor was very happy.
Master Liu felt that the rainfall must be a coincidence.
Only the dog emperor insisted on attributing the rain to the gods above.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Daxi has Your Majesty's blessing, and the blessings are immeasurable!" Grand Tutor Liu said immediately, "Now that the Supreme God is here, Your Majesty will definitely be among the immortals in the future!"
When Emperor Jiacheng heard this, he was quite happy at first, but then he thought something was wrong.
If he became an immortal, wouldn't that mean he was dead? What he had always pursued was immortality and immortality in the flesh! Was Grand Master Liu cursing him?
But then, Grand Tutor Liu said, "When your majesty becomes an immortal in the future, you will return to Daxi as an immortal and become the eternal emperor of Daxi, protecting Daxi for thousands of years!"
Eunuch Shen: “…”
Grand Tutor Liu's flattery skills have improved again!
"Hahahahahaha!" Emperor Jiacheng was delighted by what Grand Tutor Liu said, "You're right! I can definitely do that!"
He wants the immortals to have a lifespan as long as the heavens.
He also wants the power of an emperor in the mortal world! "Mr. Liu, tell me, how should I reward Mr. Shen?" Emperor Jiacheng suddenly asked.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Grand Tutor Liu glanced at Emperor Jiacheng quickly and carefully, then immediately bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Shen entered the court after taking the imperial examination this year. He has just started his career, but within a short period of time, Your Majesty has recognized his talent and promoted him to Grand Tutor. This is already a great honor for him!"
"Isn't your majesty's trust in him and your appreciation of him the greatest reward for him? He will be grateful for your majesty's reward for the rest of his life, so why should your majesty reward him again?"
"Besides, Lord Shen has reached the highest position at such a young age. I am afraid that he has lost his original intention and has developed delusions." Liu Taishi said, "I think that Your Majesty should not only not reward him, but also warn him from time to time, so that he can be more sober, understand his own status, reflect on himself from time to time, and concentrate on serving Your Majesty."
Emperor Jiacheng listened and nodded slowly, agreeing deeply, "What the Grand Master said is very true."
Emperor Jiacheng sat on the chair, withdrew his eyes from Shen Shilang's letter, and said, "Then let's follow what the Grand Tutor said. I won't reward Shen Shilang this time."
"Your Majesty is wise." Grand Tutor Liu said hurriedly.
Shen Shilang didn't know yet that he had been tricked by Grand Tutor Liu.
However, Shen Shilang would not be surprised no matter what Emperor Jiacheng did.
The disaster situation in the northwest has been alleviated and food prices in the market have been brought under control.
Shen Shilang and others were about to set off back to Beijing.
Shen Shilang and Su Jinshi rode in the same carriage, while the fifth prince drove his own carriage.
Unexpectedly, not long after setting off, the convoy stopped.
After a while, the fifth prince got on Shen Shilang's carriage.
"..." Shen Shilang thought that the Fifth Prince had something to say, but he actually sat directly opposite Su Jinshi.
"Let's set off." The fifth prince ordered.
The carriage set off again.
Shen Shilang: "...Your Highness, don't you think the car is a bit crowded?"
"That's okay. I like the hustle and bustle." The fifth prince sat upright with his hands placed neatly on his knees.
Shen Shilang: “…”
The Fifth Prince looked at Shen Shilang and tried to suppress the smile on his face.
Of course he knew that the Master wanted to be alone in the car with Miss Su, but he was too bored in the car alone, with no one to talk to and relieve his boredom.
The eunuchs who served him did not dare to chat with him casually, for fear that something bad might be said and spread out, which might cost them their lives.
Anyway, the Master will have plenty of time to spend with Miss Su in the future, so the time spent on the journey won't be a big deal.
