Chapter 32 Chapter 32 You can’t have your cake and eat it too, but I…
The next day, we set out for Beijing, with His Majesty and others leaving first.
When Yuan Susu woke up, it was already noon, and she was walking with Shen Rang.
Lin Zhuozi and Su Su were in the same car.
He hesitated for a long time after getting on the car, and finally tried it cautiously.
Lin Zhuo looked at Su Su, who was resting with her eyes closed, with a gentle gaze, and said in a clear voice: "Your Highness, did you drink last night?"
"Well, I had a little drink by myself." Yuan Susu raised her eyelids lazily.
Lin Zhuo caught Su Su's words "alone" and breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe he really heard it wrong last night.
But he clearly understood that many people were coveting the position of the eldest princess's husband, which had been vacant for a long time.
Lin Zhuo's voice was melodious. He held Su Su's hand, which was covered with a layer of calluses. "Lin Zhuo is grateful for your kindness. If your Highness wishes to marry this year, we will ask His Majesty to grant the marriage upon our return to the capital. How do you think?"
Su Su raised her eyes to look at Lin Zhuo, her long eyelashes drooping as she frowned. "Why are you so anxious? Didn't you tell me that urgent matters should be dealt with slowly? We should take our time with our marriage?"
Lin Zhuo pulled Su Su into his arms and said, "I was too hasty to get married to Your Highness when we first met. If we only discovered after we got married that our personalities were incompatible, wouldn't that have wasted Your Highness's best years?"
"Don't worry, I will go to ask His Majesty for an order in the next few days." Su Su hugged him with a smile on her lips and a soft voice.
Lin Zhuo lowered his head and kissed Su Su's temple. "Well, I've recently bought a new house for my mother. Her birthday is in a few days. If you have nothing to do, could you please come to my house?"
Su Su's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Lin Zhuo's hand and fantasized, "Hmm~ I'll go to the palace in a few days to ask the emperor to arrange a marriage for us. Then... I'll pick out a good piece of land, and we'll travel around and enjoy the scenery. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Lin Zhuo's eyes froze for a moment, then he continued with a doting smile as he said, "Your Highness, do you want to visit the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou Dynasty after your marriage?"
"Yeah~"
Lin Zhuo stroked Su Su's hair, his eyes soft and bright as he asked, "Are you going back to Kyoto?"
Su Su was stunned...Of course not replying!
But just as she was about to speak, she happened to meet Xiu Dunshi. Cuicui knocked lightly on the carriage door, her voice full of excitement: "Your Highness, Master Shen is here to bring you the hangover soup."
Suddenly, Su Su pulled her hand away from Lin Zhuo, and she had the inexplicable illusion that she was in a high school relationship and was discovered by the dean of studies.
When she woke up this morning, she saw Cuicui and Aunt Jin looking at her with strange eyes. When she thought of her actions towards Shen Rang last night, she felt like killing him.
Yuan Susu felt it was inconvenient to let Chen Rang get on the bus, so she said to Lin Zhuo, "I'll get off first. I happen to be feeling a little uncomfortable after sitting for so long."
Without waiting for Lin Zhuo's response, Su Su turned around and got out of the car with her head down.
For some reason, all the servants had been sent away by Chen Rang, and there were only the two of them and Cuicui who left while trying to hold back her laughter around the carriage.
Cuicui should have supported herself, but suddenly Shen Rang stretched out an arm.
Yuan Susu's eyes suddenly became stern, and the scene of patting Chen's butt and letting him ride him like a horse last night kept flashing through his mind.
She ignored it. What did the height matter? Su Su lifted her skirt and jumped down.
Shen Rang chuckled and twisted his fingertips lightly with his hands behind his back.
He took out the food box and handed it to Su Su, saying, "Someone got drunk last night. Do you remember what you did when you woke up today?"
"I can't remember. I can't remember anything today." Su Su answered very straightforwardly, then lowered her eyes and drank the sour and sweet soup silently.
Suddenly, Shen placed his left hand on the shaft of the cart. Susu was enveloped by the scent of rime. His voice was deep and hoarse, "Last night... Your Highness slapped me three times. How do you deal with that?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Su Su frowned and looked at Shen Rang, "There are clearly two of them."
"Oh? Really?" Chen Rang raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of comfort at the corners of his eyes, "Little liar."
Suddenly there was a movement in the car, as if Lin Zhuo was anxious to come find her, and Su Su wanted to break free from Chen Rang's confinement.
The tips of their noses suddenly touched, and a taut string in her brain suddenly broke. She only felt the scent of pine scent entering her nostrils and then slowly moving away.
It was as if Shen Rang had just fallen accidentally, an unintentional action.
Their eyes met for a moment, until Lin Zhuo pushed open the door, and Shen Rang had already turned around and left.
"Your Highness?" Lin Zhuo called.
Su Su licked her lips lightly, breathing a little faster: "Oh... here it comes."
After returning to Kyoto, Susu fulfilled her promise and asked Yuan Che for permission to marry her.
Yuan Che looked at Su Su and said, "Sis, I am satisfied that you are so happy."
Su Su held a plate of snacks and chatted with the emperor, who looked older than herself. "Your Majesty, what do you think of Lin Zhuo?"
"She's very observant and thoughtful. Not to mention her looks and talent, but..."
Yuan Che paused, holding the teacup and hesitating for a moment: "Lin Zhuo has great ambitions. I am worried that if my sister really wants to leave the capital after getting married...this prince consort may not be willing to let her go."
Su Su was stunned. She pursed her lips and comforted His Majesty, "No, I told him my idea yesterday, and Lin Zhuo didn't object."
"But why must my elder sister leave the capital? By then, my elder sister will be gone, and my elder sister Hua Zhao will also be married off... I will be completely alone."
"How could that be?" Su Su shook her head and reached out to touch Yuan Che's meticulously tied hair. "When I've had enough fun, I'll come back to accompany you, okay?"
Yuan Che raised his lips and smiled: "Okay."
But how could he not understand that separation and death are everyone's ultimate destiny.
The emperor in his high position controlled the thirteen states and twenty-eight counties in the north and south of the Zhou Dynasty, and faced countless internal and external troubles.
He was just a young emperor, and most of the power in his hands was not yet fully under his control.
Yuan Che looked at his sister's happy face and felt sad.
When the elder sister was in power, he had someone to rely on. Later, when the eldest princess became extremely powerful, he could have the support of the emperor even though he was alone.
However, he would still be framed by powerful officials in the court and deprived of his power.
Now that his elder sister was getting married, he was completely isolated and helpless.
It is ironic that the true dragon emperor who is above everyone else is a lonely man.
Suddenly, a sharp voice came from outside: "Master Shen is here."
Shen Rang never needed to be summoned to enter the study, and soon he pushed the door open. He was wearing the crimson official uniform of the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.
The crane patch soared into the sky. After glancing at Yuan Susu, he quickly turned his gaze to the blank imperial edict in front of His Majesty's desk.
Chen Rang's eyes darkened slightly as he spoke directly, "Your Majesty, marriage is a major event. Lin Jieshizhong is of low status. According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, we should deprive him of his official career to correct his heart."
"If I remember correctly, Lin Jieshizhong originally had lofty ambitions when he entered the court. If I don't explain this to him before granting this decree, wouldn't that be..."
Chen Rang glanced at Su Su and said, "We finally became a couple with grudges."
"You!" Yuan Susu didn't expect that Chen Rang would interfere at this time!
Yuan Che was somewhat dissatisfied. He wanted to support the poor starting from his elder sister's marriage, but Master Shen brought out the rules of the dynasties of the Great Zhou Dynasty to pressure him.
He couldn't say a word more.
Yuan Che's smile didn't reach his eyes: "Young Master is really thoughtful. Let Lin Zhuo enter the palace."
A moment later, Lin Zhuo came from the Ministry of Justice. He was wearing a brand new indigo official uniform. The cuffs used to be scuffed and dirty, but now, as he leaned against the eldest princess, his sleeves were embroidered with lifelike auspicious cloud patterns.
"Your humble servant Lin Zhuo pays his respects to Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess." He had already seen the imperial edict when he entered and tried hard to suppress the joy in his heart.
"I summoned you here because my sister wanted me to mention your marriage," Yuan Che moved his gaze to Shen Rang.
Chen Rang understood and said, "This official has recalled that the disparity between Lin Jieshizhong and Her Royal Highness the Princess is indeed too great. According to the Great Zhou royal family's rule that princesses and their husbands are not allowed to enter the officialdom again, it is still necessary to make Lord Lin aware of this rule before His Majesty issues the decree."
Lin Zhuo's smile froze on his lips, his throat choked with sobs, and he looked at the eldest princess.
What does this mean?
Shen Rang's pace happened to block his view. "Lord Lin won the first place in his youth and became a household name overnight. Now he has been in the imperial court for several years. Recently, I heard that he has made many contributions in the Ministry of Justice."
Chen Rang paused slightly, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp, and a sense of oppression slowly overflowed with the mockery in his eyes: "In everything, there is a trade-off. The choice between official career and His Highness depends on which one Lin Jieshizhong chooses."

The author has something to say: She is here, she is here, she is here with the benefits of writing. Thank you again for your generous irrigation~~
Today’s bonus is an analysis of Shen Rang’s inner thoughts:
Shen Rang covets Su Su, the beautiful little cake baby
Lord Shen's heart is like that of someone who has been suppressed by feudal ethics for too long. When he meets someone he likes, he will do whatever it takes to make her stay by his side.
But our Master Shen, the most beautiful lady who is adored by everyone, will not easily admit that she is moved!
Those who approach Susu are all doing it for the public good, but in reality, it's all for their own little thoughts, haha~
Shen Rang's heartbeat is due to two points:
①The only woman he has no physical resistance to, who can ignite the fire in his heart (hehe)
②Su Su's personality and behavior are completely different from many other noble ladies. She's like a kitten, cunning, tsundere, and lazy. Shen Rang grew up in an aristocratic family, but his mother was tragically killed by their indifference and pretense of appearances. This led to Shen Rang's PTSD-induced misogyny, and whenever he came into contact with women, he could only imagine his mother's tragic death.
And Su Su is completely out of the context of this era. This is a point where Shen Rang can redeem himself.
In short, the highlight moments of Shen Rang and Yuan Susu have not yet arrived.
Look forward to the young couple shining and hot~

I read chapter 31 of Bao last Saturday. I suggest you go back and read the last few hundred words where Shen Rang is alone. I copied it wrong and changed it back later. I’m really sorry [dog head]
