Chapter 89 She Wants to See the Heroine's Costume 13
"Mom, can I take my little sister with me to the Winter Banquet?"
I want to go. I want to go.
[My beautiful mother, please agree to my sister's request.]
The little baby on the couch stopped chewing her toes and stared at the two of them with bright eyes full of anticipation.
"The people attending the Winter Banquet are all unmarried young men and women. It's not appropriate for you to bring Xiao Wan'er with you."
"Besides, Xiaowan'er needs milk every hour and diaper changes frequently. Where can you take her to take good care of her?"
Hearing this, Shen Qingyi felt a little embarrassed.
I didn't think of this when I agreed.
"Mother, you can ask the wet nurse to come with us. She can stay in the carriage. When I'm hungry, I can just ask my sister to take me to the carriage to find the wet nurse."
[The baby is so considerate in taking care of me, Mommy, don't worry.]
[That was the Winter Banquet, the highlight moment where the heroine dominated everyone and attracted countless men's admiration. I want to see the heroine act like a 13.]
Mrs. Shen: “…”
Now that things have come to this, how can she refuse?
"Mom, how about letting the nanny go with us? Big brother doesn't know about the winter banquet, but Shen Yaoxing will definitely go. Shen Yaoxing and I will definitely take good care of my little sister."
Hearing that Shen Wan had taken the initiative to solve the problem, Shen Qingyi spoke out what was in her heart.
"Mother, please let me take my little sister with me."
Shen Qingyi gently shook Madam Shen’s arm and acted coquettishly.
Mrs. Shen was helpless, sighed, and had to agree.
"Okay, okay, but it won't work just with you and Yaoxing."
"Ask your father to send two more people to keep an eye on Xiao Wan'er. Don't let anything go wrong."
Hearing this, both sisters were very happy.
"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely protect my little sister."
[Great, I can go watch the fun.]
study.
Shen Yuanhong was dealing with some matters in the military camp when suddenly, his followers appeared outside the open door.
"My lord, the second young master requests an audience."
"Let him in."
"yes."
Soon, footsteps were heard, and a young man in a black and gold brocade robe walked in leisurely.
"Hey, Dad, are you busy?"
Chen Yaoxing stretched his neck and looked towards the desk.
Shen Yuanhong scribbled on the document with a pen, saying without even looking up, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out."
Chen Yaoxing: “…”
"Dad, I am your son after all. Can't you be gentle with me?"
"Oh!"
Shen Yuanhong sneered and said mercilessly, "I've always been strict with you, and you've grown up like this. If I were gentler with you, I don't know what kind of weird thing you'd become."
"I risked my life to build this family business, and I don't want it all to be lost in your hands."
Chen Yaoxing: “…”
Is he that bad?
He doesn't seem that bad, does he?
Why does he have this image in his father's mind?
"Dad, have you forgotten how hard I worked for you the other day? That's not how you said that to me when I was doing it for you."
"Back then, you were full of praise for my extraordinary abilities, saying I was even better than my teacher. How come just two days later, you're calling me a black sheep and saying I've grown up crooked?"
Shen Yuanhong placed his pen on the pen holder, picked up the document, blew on it slowly a few times, and said nonchalantly, "Can you do the same as you do now?"
"How can I get you to work hard if I don't praise you a few times?"
"But you don't have any idea of what you are like, right?"
Chen Yaoxing: “…”
So he only deserves to be praised and hear good words when he is useful, right?
"Alright, alright, Dad. I don't want to argue with you about this anymore. I came here to ask you, what's going on in the court today? Did it achieve the expected results?"
These days, he was busy collecting tokens from the Su Mansion guards, forging evidence, plotting against several major families, and provoking conflicts between them.
After working so hard for so long, I finally closed the net today. I hope all the hard work was not in vain.
"Not bad, you did a great job on this."
Shen Yuanhong closed the document and finally said something sensible.
After hearing this, Chen Yaoxing could roughly guess that the effect might be even better than he imagined.
He instantly raised his lips in a good mood.
That damn old man Su Chongyuan was really tired of living. He dared to attack the princess and even threw dirty water on his Shen family.
In that case, don't blame him for retaliating.
Of course, this is just the beginning. There will be many exciting things waiting for that old man in the future.
"That's good, Dad. I'm afraid this old guy will take revenge on us after he recovers. So, we might as well take advantage of his illness and kill him."
Chen Yaoxing lowered his voice, and a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.
"No."
Shen Yuanhong waved his hand to stop him. "Right now, in the court, the Prime Minister's faction and the Grand Marshal's faction are competing against each other. The situation is very balanced."
"If something unexpected happens to Su Chongyuan, the emperor's checks and balances will be broken. Then, your father and I might be affected."
"Since ancient times, the relationship between the emperor and his ministers has been like a spring. When the emperor is strong, the ministers are weak; when the ministers are strong, the emperor is weak. Whether the emperor is supreme or the ministers are supreme, it is not a good thing for the officials."
"This state right now is when your father and I are most comfortable."
If the emperor's power is too strong, he will not take his subjects seriously and will kill them at will; but if the subjects' power is too strong, they will inevitably want to disrupt the government, treat the emperor as a puppet, and replace him.
Therefore, the current tripartite situation is the most stable and comfortable.
The late emperor had been very kind to him, and Shen Yuanhong didn't want to be a powerful official, so naturally he didn't want anything to happen to Su Chongyuan. He just wanted to cause some trouble for that guy at the right time.
Chen Yaoxing: “…”
My father is such a loser. He is the Duke of Ningguo, but he doesn't seek to be second to none and above everyone else. Instead, he only seeks comfort and stability.
well!
Not getting approval, Chen Yaoxing sighed helplessly and gave up the idea of killing Su Chongyuan.
The next day at noon.
After the court session, all the officials left the court together.
After saying goodbye to their colleagues, brothers Shen Yuanhong and Shen Yuanhao rode home with their entourage.
A rosewood carriage with carved patterns was parked alone on the bluestone ground outside the vermilion gate. After the two brothers dismounted, their eyes fell on the carriage.
The next moment, the curtain was lifted, and a smoky gray figure came out of the carriage. The attendant immediately opened an umbrella and held it over his head.
"Duke Shen, can we talk alone?"
"I'm busy. My duke has to go back home to be with his wife."
Shen Yuanhong narrowed his eyes and said something indifferently, handed the reins of the red horse to his follower, held his head high and prepared to leave.
Swish!
Several strong guards immediately stepped forward and blocked his way.
Shen Yuanhong stopped and looked coldly at the man not far away who had a gentle face but was strong in every way.
"What does your Excellency the Grand Marshal intend to do?"
"What do you want to do? The Emperor has ordered me to investigate the assassination of my colleagues. This was Duke Ning's suggestion. Duke Ning must be aware of this, right?"
"I am merely following orders. I hope Duke Ningguo will cooperate."
Su Chongyuan sneered, his narrowed eyes filled with strong anger.
