Minister Cen said this, but his body was very honest.
He quickly squeezed into the room, stretched his neck and looked around.
Seeing that the room was empty and no one was seen, Minister Cen frowned slightly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liang Yuyu stretched out her hand towards the emperor, her little mouth opening and closing, making a whimpering sound.
[Mother, I can only buy you some opportunities. You must prepare your words well.]
[The guy who led us in today is probably not from Yueyang Tower at all, but was arranged by Minister Cen.]
[If we want to break the impasse, we must make Minister Cen bring disaster upon himself.]
While Liang Yuyu was thinking, the emperor clapped his hands with a smile, stretched out his arms, and teased Liang Yuyu: "Little guy, do you miss me?"
Liang Yuyu climbed into the emperor's arms.
The little paws hooked around the emperor's neck, the pink lips smacked each other twice, and the little head rubbed back and forth on the emperor's cheek.
In this way, Liang Yuyu really wanted to buy some time for Shen Yuexi so that Shen Yuexi would have enough time to figure out how to break the deadlock.
Secondly, Liang Yuyu really wanted the emperor's money.
[What does the Emperor plan to reward me with today? ]
Liang Yuyu sucked her fingers, smacked her lips, and her milky eyes wandered over the emperor.
Her eyes fell on the jade pendant on the emperor's chest.
【The color is bright and rich, it is a good thing. 】
Just as the little fellow's restless hand reached out to the emperor, Minister Cen asked in a deep voice, "Madam Liang?"
Shen Yuexi suddenly came back to her senses.
She glanced at Minister Cen twice, then stepped forward and bowed to the Emperor. "Your Majesty, I came to Yueyang Tower today at someone's invitation. I didn't expect to meet you, Your Majesty."
The emperor was stunned and looked at Minister Cen blankly.
The latter's expression immediately turned cold. "Madam Liang, Yueyang Tower is cleared today, and the Emperor has been specially invited to taste the food. The owner of Yueyang Tower was notified two days ago. Who would invite Madam Liang here to meet him?"
Shen Yuexi still looked at the emperor, holding a handkerchief and covering her lips.
A hint of surprise flashed across his wide-open black eyes: "Really?"
Shen Yuexi turned her head and looked at Minister Cen with interest: "Didn't someone from your residence invite me here today, Lord Minister?"
Cen Shangshu's expression froze, with a hint of panic in his eyes: "Someone from my house?"
Shen Yuexi raised her hand and gestured: "About this tall, fair and clean. She came to my Rouge Pavilion early this morning to deliver the news."
"I'm still wondering, if Minister Cen has something to say, why didn't he invite my master?"
"But the person who came said that Minister Cen wanted to talk to me about Miss Cen's matter, so I came to Yueyang Tower."
When Minister Cen heard Shen Yuexi mention Cen Yiyi, his eyebrows twitched and he subconsciously looked at the emperor.
"Miss Cen?" the Emperor demanded. "What do Madam Liang and your Excellency wish to discuss with you about Miss Cen?"
"emperor……"
"emperor."
Before Minister Cen could speak, Shen Yuexi interrupted him.
"A few days ago, I had a minor conflict with Miss Cen on the street. Miss Cen was dissatisfied with the marriage proposal between my eldest son and the eldest daughter of the Duan family. She blocked the plan in the street and even had some arguments with me."
"If Shuda hadn't arrived in time to rescue me, I'm afraid Miss Cen would have wanted to fight me."
The emperor's eyes widened in surprise, his eyebrows raised slightly, and his astonished gaze roamed back and forth between Minister Cen and Shen Yuexi's faces: "Is there such a thing?"
In the deep palace, all the women were obedient to the emperor and treated him with tenderness.
Even the most "ferocious" queen could only tease the emperor a few times at most.
Blocking people in the street and even trying to fight with elders is totally unheard of and unseen!
Not to mention that Cen Yiyi is the daughter carefully taught by Minister Cen.
This is simply horrifying!
The corners of Minister Cen's mouth twitched, his face was full of embarrassment, and even his eyes were full of mischief.
He rolled his eyelids in displeasure, glared at Shen Yuexi, and when he looked at the emperor, he forced a smile: "Your Majesty, my daughter is ignorant and has offended Madam Liang many times. It's because I didn't teach her well. After I returned, I punished my daughter severely. She..."
"Your Majesty, I can testify to this." Shen Yuexi interrupted Minister Cen again, "Ms. Cen has indeed not come to my house again in the past few days. I believe she is troubled by the recent rumors in the capital and is unable to leave."
When the emperor heard Shen Yuexi mention the recent discussions in the city, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a stern look flashed across his eyes: "Madam Liang also knows about the recent discussions in the capital?"
Shen Yuexi lowered her eyes and nodded, "I heard about it a few days ago. It was simply that there were many problems with the marriage proposal between our Liang Mansion and the Zhenguogong Mansion. However, this marriage proposal was originally a matter that had not even been decided yet, and I don't know how this matter leaked out."
Shen Yuexi half-turned her head, her gaze fixed on Minister Cen with a pointed look: "Could it be that someone, having failed to reach an agreement on marriage with Shu Da, is resentful and is fabricating such rumors in an attempt to sow discord?"
Minister Cen panicked, his lips twitching. "Your Majesty, although my daughter is a bit naughty, she definitely doesn't have such thoughts, let alone do such a thing."
Shen Yuexi lowered her eyes and said softly, "That's true. After all, such rumors directly damage the reputation of our Liang Mansion and the Duke of Zhenguo, and will also allow those with ulterior motives to take advantage of this opportunity to disrupt the court. Such a thing is indeed not something that a girl like Miss Cen would do."
After finishing speaking, Shen Yuexi shifted her gaze and slowly looked towards Minister Cen.
The emperor followed Shen Yuexi's gaze, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.
Minister Cen's heart sank, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed to the emperor. "Your Majesty, Lord Liang and the Duke of Zhenguo are both loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Even if this marriage is a marriage, it must have been carefully considered and for the sake of the stability of the court. If anyone uses this to spread rumors, they are certainly a villain who is making trouble out of nothing."
"I can't guarantee it for other officials, but there will definitely not be such a person in the Cen Mansion."
After Minister Cen finished speaking, beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
Today he had planned to bring the emperor with him to block Shen Yuexi and Duan Yang in the house, so as to prove that Liang Ruitian and Duan Yang were colluding with each other and had evil intentions.
Who would have thought that before his wishful thinking could be realized, he was outmaneuvered by Shen Yuexi.
He was filled with resentment. If the emperor had not been here, he would have wanted to slap Shen Yuexi twice.
The emperor stared at Minister Cen for a moment, then waved his hand, "Don't worry, Minister Cen. Madam Liang was only telling me the facts, she had no other intentions."
Shen Yuexi immediately nodded, agreeing with the emperor's words.
"However, Lord Cen, please discipline your daughter more in the future. Fighting with an elder in the street is no small matter."
Minister Cen was sweating profusely and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand."
The emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at Liang Yuyu in his arms: "Since you are here, let's have dinner together. I haven't seen the little girl for a long time."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a bang from the inner hall.
