Chapter 87 Leaving the Palace to Meet Qin Shangyu
After returning to Jiang Mansion, Qin Shangyu always felt that this saint girl was weird in every way. He realized belatedly that something was wrong.
So much so that when he returned to Yimeyuan, he was still distracted.
There is a painting in Qin Shangyu's study. The painting shows his wife who left home and never returned, and there is a poem he wrote on it.
They met at Jinse Garment Shop and fell in love. Qin Shangyu painted this picture after Jiang Yuyan left, and has been hanging it on the wall ever since, looking at it every day and missing her.
"The moon shines brightly over the sea, and the pearls shed tears. The sun shines warmly over the blue field, and the jades emit smoke..."
Qin Shangyu stared at the words and chanted softly, "The moon is bright over the sea, the sun is warm over the blue fields..."
Suddenly, Qin Shangyu suddenly remembered the words of the Holy Son of the Lingshu Clan at the palace banquet. What did he say?
The scenes of that day flooded into his mind like a tide.
"Lingshu clan's Chen Yi and our clan's saintly maiden Shen Canglan come to see His Majesty the Emperor..."
Her name is Shen Canglan!
Qin Shangyu's heart was beating like a drum, almost jumping out of his throat, and he was breathing heavily.
"Is she Wanwan? It must be...it must be..." Qin Shangyu paced back and forth anxiously, he wanted to confirm!
Qin Shangyu soon got the opportunity he had been waiting for.
In order to please Jiang Yuyan, Emperor Shengyuan decided to renovate Changle Palace. In order to appease the empress and the imperial concubine, he also ordered the renovation of Jiaofang Palace and Yiyue Palace.
He had originally planned to use his own private treasury. The dividends that Jiang's Soap Industry had given him over the years were already very considerable. But the Ministry of Revenue actually took the initiative to allocate funds. It was said that it was proposed by the newly appointed assistant minister.
The Minister of Revenue was an upright man and felt quite ashamed of this matter, so he handed the job over to Qin Shangyu and the Ministry of Works.
"Your Majesty, although the national treasury is still ample this year, the construction of the various palaces also requires careful planning. I am willing to personally inspect the expenditures to prevent my subordinates from cheating and profiting from it." Qin Shangyu reported to Emperor Sheng Yuan.
Emperor Sheng Yuan knew that he was careful, so he approved it.
Qin Shangyu immediately notified the Ministry of Works to list the details of each expense one by one and submit it to the masters of each palace for verification and signature. Only after they had mutually confirmed the authenticity of the expenses could the funds be allocated.
The Ministry of Works was confused and blamed the minister for being too cautious, but they had no choice but to do as he asked.
Jiang Yuyan is in charge of Changle Palace, so naturally she has to sign.
When Qin Shangyu received the details, he immediately turned to Changle Palace. Although Jiang Yuyan intentionally changed the font, he still found the clue at a glance.
Perhaps Jiang Yuyan had never noticed that although her blue character was not written incorrectly, it was not the elegant style commonly used in Dayue Country. And she habitually drew horizontal strokes, and there would be no other person in the entire Dayue Country who had such a writing habit!
Qin Shangyu repeatedly compared the handwriting, and his inner joy was about to burst out. There was no mistake! It must be her!
He was so excited that his eyes were red and he couldn't sleep. But since he had returned to Beijing, why didn't Wanwan recognize them? But she was still angry with them? Should he tell his elder brother and the others? Why did she become the saint of the Lingshu tribe?
All kinds of questions were like a mess of spider threads. In the end, Qin Shangyu suppressed the impulse in his heart and waited for an opportunity to ask Jiang Yuyan before making a decision.
He didn't want to go against her wishes anymore.
Jiang Yuyan naturally didn't know that she had revealed her true identity. When she met Qin Shangyu again in the palace, the way he looked at her had changed.
Such deep affection is like water, and such longing is like overwhelming.
Jiang Yuyan's heart skipped a beat. This place was not far from the imperial study. If others knew about it, there would be trouble. So she didn't want to pay any attention to it.
Who knew that Qin Shangyu had already spoken, "I wonder if the Saint has ever heard a poem?"
Jiang Yuyan paused and frowned, "Which song?"
"The brocade zither has fifty strings, each string and each pillar reminds me of my youth." Qin Shangyu said this and stopped talking.
Jiang Yuyan looked into his eyes intently. It turned out that he knew it so quickly. His mind was quite quick.
"Heh... Lord Qin is bullying me for my lack of knowledge. I haven't heard this song. But I know of another song that Lord Qin may not have heard either."
"Please teach me, Saint." Qin Shangyu said.
"If we don't meet in this life, we will be as far apart as the sun and the moon." Jiang Yuyan said.
The two chatted for a few words as if playing a riddle, and then walked into the imperial study one after the other.
In the evening, Qin Shangyu received a sleeve arrow with a note on it, "Tomorrow afternoon, Shenshang Restaurant, among the sparse shadows."
Qin Shangyu pressed the paper tightly against his chest, feeling extremely excited...
………
After the morning court session the next day, Jiang Yuyan waited in the imperial study and tenderly asked Emperor Sheng Yuan, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen my senior brother and my clansmen for some time. Can you allow me to leave the palace today?"
Shen Yi is now her nominal senior brother.
Emperor Sheng Yuan just thought that she was bored in the palace, "Yes, take more guards with you to protect you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Yuyan smiled sweetly.
Emperor Sheng Yuan appointed six Xiaolong Guards to provide close protection. However, when passing through a downtown area, an oncoming carriage rushed towards them. Several Xiaolong Guards shouted and rushed forward to force the carriage to stop with force. No one noticed that a figure had quickly entered the carriage. It was Cang San, who was good at disguising himself!
After arriving at Chen Garden in Jiyun Lane, the "Saintess" got out of the car with the help of her personal bodyguard Xiao Wu. Xiaolong Guards naturally followed her in to provide close protection.
Jiang Yuyan escaped quickly and headed straight for the Cangshang Restaurant.
Today, Qin Shangyu cleared the third floor. In the shadowy room, he stood in front of the window, waiting rather anxiously. Every minute and every second was an indescribable torment.
Finally, the door opened and a familiar figure rushed in.
The two stared at each other for a long time. Jiang Yuyan took the lead in removing her veil, revealing a flawless and stunning face.
Qin Shangyu almost burst into tears. Even though he had been hardened to a hard tone over the past two years, his heart softened like a pool of water in front of her, wishing that his love could seep into her bones and blood.
He also didn't want her to see him so weak, but he couldn't control himself at all!
"Wanwan..." Qin Shangyu said with difficulty, "Is it really you?"
"It's me, I'm back." Jiang Yuyan looked at him intently. Qin Shangyu had changed a lot in the past two years, but the way he looked at her remained the same.
Seeing the man's excitement, Jiang Yuyan almost jokingly asked, "Would you like a hug?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Shangyu stepped forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Wanwan..." Qin Shangyu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You have such a cruel heart!"
The sound was like weeping and complaining, full of pain and joy, making Jiang Yuyan feel like a heartless mother.
Jiang Yuyan patted his back gently.
Qin Shangyu looked her up and down for a long time. "How did you become like this? And how did you become the saint of the Lingshu clan?"
"It's a long story, but it can be said that I have turned a disaster into a blessing. Look at my appearance now, I am not any worse than before, right?" Jiang Yuyan said with a smile, trying to liven up the atmosphere.
"She is really beautiful." Qin Shangyu felt bitter in her heart. She had gone through so much hardship outside after changing her appearance!
Jiang Yuyan picked out some key points and talked about it, "I entered the palace partly for the Lishan Ice Lotus and partly because of what happened back then."
Qin Shangyu hugged her again with a distressed look in his eyes, "Back then, it was because we were useless that you suffered..."
"Don't, it's because I couldn't stand your attitude back then, so..." Jiang Yuyan said: "The perpetrator is at fault in this matter, not you. Stop blaming yourself and trust me more."
Qin Shangyu naturally responded. He had lost her once and now he had her back, so whatever she said was what he agreed to.
Thinking of the gorgeous and beautiful Saint Son, Qin Shangyu felt a little jealous, but he gave Wanwan a new life, so he was grateful to him anyway, "Does Wanwan like that Saint Son very much?"
Jiang Yuyan thought that she and he had an eldest son, but she couldn't say this, and said: "Chen Yi was expelled from the clan because of me, and he treats me the same way as you do."
"Okay, as long as he is sincere to Wanwan, we can accept him."
Qin Shangyu kissed Jiang Yuyan's forehead gently. Although her face was unfamiliar now, she had lost her immaturity and became more mature and charming, radiant and incomparable.
He had been thinking about this for two years before he finally had the chance to touch this warm and fragrant body. He immediately held her delicate lips and kissed her deeply, passionately and fiercely.
After a while, Qin Shangyu looked at her blushing cheeks and felt very happy. He said slowly, "Do you want to tell your elder brother and Jing Yu? They have missed you a lot in the past two years."
Jiang Yuyan thought of Xie Jingyu's temperament and frowned, "Wait a little longer. I can come to see you because you are the most calm and can listen to my advice. I still have some things to do now. When the time is right, I will reunite with you."
Qin Shangyu was reluctant but helpless, so he said, "Okay."
Jiang Yuyan sneaked back to Shen Garden from the back door and had sex with the fake saint. When Shen Yi saw her appearance, he felt bitter.
"Tsk, you can still have an affair in such a short time? Your husband is in poor health!" Shen Yi folded his arms and sneered.
"What nonsense are you talking about! What can you do in a restaurant in the middle of the day?!" Jiang Yuyan glared at him. This Shen Yi was really outrageous!
Shen Yi avoided everyone's sight and rubbed her soft and swollen lips with his fingertips, his eyes dark.
What should I do?! I can’t stand it now, what will I do in the future?
Shen Yi kissed her fiercely, as if he wanted to tear her apart and eat her. Jiang Yuyan was kissed so hard that she almost died, and then someone let her go with satisfaction.
"When the dust settles, I don't want to live with your lovers. If you want to find me, come to Chen Garden." Chen Yi frowned and said in a low voice.
He really wasn't that generous! As long as he couldn't see her, he could pretend that she was his wife...
Jiang Yuyan knew what was bothering him, and patted him soothingly, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
