Chapter 107 Don’t Be My Lord, Be My Concubine (Thirty-Four)
Yu Huo has been very happy recently. He can go to work when he wants to, sleep at home when he wants to, and fall in love when he wants to. The key point is that the Wan family is rich, the emperor is rich, and the emperor is rich, so all the good things are thought of him.
Even the tribute strawberries could be eaten. In ancient times, being able to have a bite of this was really a novelty.
He had been living a leisurely life, but a small accident happened and he never had peace since then.
The reason was that Wan Chengwei was urged to get married by his mother. In order to avoid listening to the nagging of his elders, that guy dragged him out to hang out every day.
Jiang Feng hadn't seen him for several days, and the air pressure dropped to freezing point in the morning.
The ministers lowered their heads, looking as if they dared not say much, and then secretly glanced at Yu Kangping.
Yu Kangping: What are you looking at me for?
At this moment, a cold question came from the upper level: "Why are you all silent? Don't you have anything to report to the court this morning?"
The newly appointed Minister of War had no other choice but to step forward, holding up his tablet and whispering, "I'm going to beat you up. Yesterday, while cleaning up the Ministry of War's meeting hall, I discovered a case of suspected corruption involving the Wu family, the mother's clan of Concubine Xian. Your Majesty, please make a ruling."
Jiang Feng raised his chin towards Eunuch Sun who was serving beside him.
Eunuch Sun yawned and walked forward to present the memorial. Jiang Feng glanced at it and said, "Well, the evidence is complete. Arrest him and chop him off! Oh, by the way, before I ascended the throne, I heard that the eldest son of the Wu family was rampant in the village and was guilty of ten unforgivable crimes. That person named Wu Renyao should also be arrested and chopped off!"
After he finished speaking, the jade crown on his forehead swayed slightly, and he said to Eunuch Sun, "Go and pour me a cup of cold tea."
"yes."
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Everyone: “…”
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word. Everyone could see that the emperor was in a bad mood today, and he tried to put aside the things he was doing as much as possible.
"By the way, have the officials assigned to the Ministry of Personnel been drafted?"
At this time, Eunuch Sun came in with a teacup to serve tea. Who knew that the emperor had insomnia last night, and he had been accompanying him until now and felt dizzy. His eyes went dark, and the teacup in his hand spilled onto Jiang Feng's sleeve.
Eunuch Sun was now fully awake. He slowly raised his head and looked at the emperor who was gazing at him coldly. He was so frightened that he dropped to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
The sound of a pin drop was so deafening in the hall that one could hear it. Jiang Feng stared at the eunuch who had been with him for less than a month, his thin, crimson lips moving in and out. "Eunuch Sun has behaved inappropriately in the court..."
Eunuchs, especially those who have worked their way up the social ladder, are the best at handling things and even reading people's faces. He immediately stopped kneeling before the emperor, rubbed his knees on the ground, turned his body towards the commander of the imperial guards who was secretly dozing off in the hall, and cried out loudly.
"Commander Yu! Please save me, considering that I have served you well in the past."
Yu Huo was suddenly awakened by the fright. He looked at the kneeling eunuch in front of him and the broken teacup on the ground and blinked his eyes.
Perhaps he was so sleepy that he forgot it was morning court. In front of all the civil and military officials, he impatiently clicked his tongue at the emperor: "Isn't it just a broken cup? Just consider it a peace treat. I'm already sleepy this morning, you're almost done..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt the person in front of him turn around and stare at him.
Yu Kangping frowned and said softly, "Shut up!"
Yu Huo finally came to his senses, glanced at the officials around him who were looking at him curiously, and quickly lowered his head.
Silence returned to the hall. After a while, Jiang Feng suddenly kicked Eunuch Sun and waved his hand: "Hurry up and clean up! Waiting for the reward!"
Eunuch Sun was overjoyed and immediately picked up the broken teacup: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Commander Yu!"
Yu Huo touched the tip of his nose and slipped away as soon as the morning court was over. When he left the palace, he seemed to hear someone calling him from behind.
When I turned around, it turned out to be Wen Nian, the third place winner of the previous session.
Wen Nian was an interesting person. He had been very indifferent to Jiang Feng before, but after Jiang Feng ascended the throne, he changed his previous sharp attitude and became more friendly to him. He even asked Wan Chengwei to be his lobbyist and showed goodwill several times, which eased the relationship.
Who lets Wen Tanhua be such a straight man? When the cousin becomes the cousin, I instantly lose all feelings.
Because the other party always treated him to drinks before, Yu Huo stood on the street and waited for a while.
Wen Tanhua ran up to him breathlessly, and bowed to him with his hands clasped together.
Yu Huo took a step back and asked cautiously, "What are you doing?"
Wen Tanhua bent down and pleaded, "Commander Yu, please save me! The journey is long and arduous in Lingnan. Brother Yu, please give me a chance to survive!"
Lingnan?
Yu Huo asked in surprise, "You were exiled to Lingnan? Then why don't you go find some help from your family? Your father is the Minister of Justice, can't he help you find a good place?"
Wen Tanhua sighed: "Who would dare to operate in the place chosen by the emperor?"
“…”
Seeing that Yu Huo didn't say anything, Wen Nian winked at the servant beside him. After a while, the servant brought out a jar of wine from his carriage, unsealed it, and it was the best girl's red wine. The aroma made Yu Huo swallow his saliva.
Wen Nian's eyes lit up and he handed the wine forward: "This is a small gift from my brother, please accept it, Brother Yu."
Yu Huo reached out and took the wine: "I accept this wine, please take it back for the gift."
Wen Nian's smile froze on the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of resentment: "Then give me back the wine!"
Yu Huo hid the wine jar behind his back, his eyes scornful: "You've already given it away, and you still have the nerve to ask for it back?"
"Then you can't just take the things and not do the work!"
"Look at how stingy you are!" Yu Huo tutted and turned away: "Alright, alright, I get it. You go back and wait for the news. I'll find time to go to the palace and say a few good words for you."
Wen Nian retracted his hand and bowed to him again: "Brother Yu, thank you very much!"
Yu Huo took the wine and went to find Wan Chengwei, and the two of them had a happy drink in the restaurant.
After three rounds of drinks, Yu Huo looked at Wan Chengwei, who was the same age as him, and said something: "Auntie has been looking for me for so many times, isn't it just about getting married? Your Wan family is so powerful now, why don't you just find someone you like and marry him? Otherwise, tell me the type you like, and I will talk to Auntie later, and everyone will be happy, right?"
Wan Chengwei picked up the cup and thought for a moment, then chuckled: "I like big eyes, pointed chins, long legs..."
"Mantis spirit?" Yu Huo turned his eyes away in disgust.
Wan Chengwei turned his head away angrily and ignored him.
Yu Huo drunkenly patted his shoulder and stood up: "No more drinking. I have to go into the palace before the palace gates are locked."
Wan Chengwei pulled him back, a smirk in his eyes: "What are you doing in the palace at this hour?"
“Self-love.”
The smirk in Wan Chengwei's eyes was replaced by a look of astonishment, and then his cheeks suddenly turned red. He shook off his arm and shrank into the corner: "You are so shameless!"
"You just met me today?"
Wan Chengwei: “…”
