This little bastard will have to ask for help one day.
A ferocious smile appeared on Shen Junjue's lips.
Shen Yanjin methodically recounted all the major events that had occurred in the past five years, including water conservation, cultivation personnel, sowing seasons, and harvests.
He spoke slowly and concisely.
Wait until he finishes all the trivial matters he wants to report.
The old emperor nodded slightly. He stroked his pale beard with his hand and smiled kindly, "Yes, you are a very smart child. I knew that sending you out was the right decision."
laugh…
Keep acting. Don't think that you can't be noticed just because you pretend to be so similar to others.
Xiao Xu angrily dug into his clothes. His movements were not big, and anyone who didn't observe Shen Yanjin carefully would not notice.
"My dear Lord Shen, you have saved the people from suffering and assisted the Lord of Huan'an City in governing Huan'an City. Although it has not yet fully recovered to its former state, in my opinion, it will soon be restored. You have made great contributions this time. I originally wanted to reward you with a thousand taels of silver and more than ten acres of high-quality farmland outside the capital..."
Hearing this, all the officials below gasped. Grant us land, land outside the capital!
That would be so expensive, more than a thousand taels of silver.
For a moment, all the officials were envious and jealous, looking at Shen Yanjin with vicious and bitter eyes.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't really reward him with those.
But the old emperor's next words surpassed everything he had said before.
"I see you're frail, and even after five years of recuperation, you still have the same old illness. I see and remember all you've done for your country and your people, regardless of your own injuries. I grant you a golden medal of immunity from death, and grant you no more kneeling rites. I'll also reward you with ten hundred-year-old ginseng plants and ten hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum plants."
boom!
Quiet, extremely quiet!
The entire Golden Palace suddenly fell silent.
The officials all looked solemn, and several of them almost rushed forward and shouted that etiquette must not be abolished, but no one dared to do so.
Shen Yanjin: "Your Majesty, I, Shen Yanjin, bow to thank you. Long live the emperor."
Even if he received great benefits, he remained calm, as if nothing could attract his attention.
All the officials were so sad that they wanted to grab the back of the young man's clothes and throw him out of the throne room.
Fuck you kid, you’re so ungrateful!
Shen Junjue's face turned green with jealousy, but there were ministers whispering in his ears: "Sir Shen, why did you drive such a good seedling out of the Shen Mansion?"
"Yes, in my opinion, this kid has a bright future."
When these words reached Shen Junjue's ears, they stung him like a poisonous bee.
I really wanted to open my mouth to refute, but then I remembered the warning that the evil beast had given me.
He could only grit his teeth, force a faint smile, and not reply. Similarly, the other people in the Shen Mansion who held lower positions and were ranked behind him were almost mad with anger, and they gritted their teeth and kept silent.
As soon as the court was dismissed and the Golden Palace was left, many ministers came forward to talk to Shen Yanjin, but seeing that he ignored them, they left in frustration.
Unexpectedly, it was not the emperor but the prince who kept him this time.
The prince...
Xiao Xu was also stunned when he heard the message.
According to this time, the prince and Shen Yanjin were almost at the stage of getting to know each other.
Pursing its lips, it found that the plot it was watching was slowly, bit by bit, beginning to connect.
The prince's bedroom is not complicated, but it is also grand.
It has everything you need: flower seeds, dwarf plants, rockery and streams, rare species everywhere, and precious Polygonatum.
There is no gold or silver jewel better than gold or silver jewels.
Shen Yanjin was taken all the way into the Prince's Palace.
"Master Shen, please wait for a moment. I will go and call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
