"You have a bell here."
After hearing this, the waiter immediately smiled and said, "Yes, of course!"
Then he led Ana Shen into the inner room.
"Sir, this is the bell you are looking for. Please take your pick."
Shen Yanjin nodded without saying much, walked past the waiter, and stepped forward to check.
There were big ones, small ones, and many kinds of patterns, but none of them caught his eye.
“These are all we have in this store.”
The waiter was smart. Seeing that the other party was about to ask a question, he spoke first.
The other party was dressed in expensive clothes and didn't look like someone who was here to cause trouble, nor did he look down on their bells.
“Chirp.”
Don’t buy it if you don’t have it. Also, the little bell is still there…
Shen Yanjin took it to visit all the shops selling bells and jewelry in the capital market, but there was nothing he liked.
Until finally we got back into the carriage.
Xiao Xu was finally happy that he didn't have to wear the little bell.
But.
The good times didn’t last long.
The next month, when Shen Yanjin went to the morning court, the little bell suddenly appeared on its neck again.
At that time, Ana Shen glanced at it and said calmly: “Go pick it up if you know.”
Xiao Xu was so angry that if he hadn't been going to meet the Dog Emperor, he would have pecked him long ago.
I could only watch him change into court robes with a fierce look on my face, and then I saw his entire aura completely change.
Those willow-shaped eyes seemed to emit a cold light, making people dare not look directly at them.
…
Inside the Golden Palace.
All the officials knelt down and kowtowed in great respect, except for Shen Yanjin in the corner, who half-bent his knees. It looked like he was kneeling, but if you looked closely you would find it was just a fake move.
The old emperor sat down on the dragon throne.
A loud and orderly shout rang out from below:
"Long live the emperor..."
"Stand up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Yanjin stood up straight. Because he was in the corner, he was particularly inconspicuous. But no one knew what the old emperor was planning. After answering some questions, he personally called Shen Yanjin's name.
Even through the clothes, Xiao Xu could feel the cold air coming from someone.
"Your Highness, I, Shen Yan, respectfully pay my respects to His Majesty."
Seeing that he was about to kneel, the old emperor actually interrupted him: "Okay, your legs are fine, don't kneel so easily."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Yanjin stopped kneeling and stood up.
"Huan'an City has recently been plagued by famine, and Lord Liu has also sent urgent letters requesting aid."
The old emperor spoke slowly, and his aged voice seemed intermittent.
"Would you be willing if I sent you to aid Lord Liu?"
Bah, old thing.
Are you willing to choose?
If Shen Yanjin answered that he was unwilling, would he not have to go and go to jail directly?
Xiao Xu despised the old emperor from the bottom of his heart. The old emperor in the original text was very bad. For the sake of power and status, he not only suppressed the prince, but also feared that the other princes would kill him to inherit the throne.
Normally, an emperor should have abdicated by this age, but he refused to do so. The prince's party was very anxious because he refused to abdicate.
The reason they were anxious was that they were afraid that the princes' cliques would intervene and seize the throne.
Therefore, as soon as Shen Yanjin returned from Huan'an City, the old emperor finally made Shen Yanjin his right-hand man. As long as he wanted to do something, he would order Shen Yanjin to do it.
The funny thing is that the old emperor died in the end.
When Shen Yanjin passed away at the age of eighteen, the prince ascended the throne as the prince's party wished.
Shen Yanjin is not the old emperor's right-hand man, he is actually the prince's most trusted confidant.
Xiao He sighed inwardly. If the old emperor knew that the minister he had brought up was actually a heartless and vindictive person, he would probably die with regrets.
"My lord, I obey the order."
After the court session, Shen Yanjin was indeed kept by the old emperor again.
