Shi Yechen accepted the punishment and left the Yangxin Palace with a gloomy face.
My father is really cruel. He removed him from his position in the court. How will those ambitious ministers view him?
It seems that everything has to be advanced!
Shi Yechen narrowed his cold eyes and strode forward.
The roads in the palace are complicated and you might meet someone at any intersection.
Today, Shi Yechen met Shi Yubai and Shi Chuan. It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet.
Shi Yubai gained favor at the banquet, and the emperor gave him full authority over all matters related to the appointment of female officials. He will be very busy these days, and Shi Chuan is here to help him.
The two brothers have a very good relationship. Shi Yubai is not as smart as Shi Chuan, but he has his own heart. Both of them are gentlemen.
Although there are always rumors that the three brothers have a bad relationship, only they themselves know the actual situation.
"Third brother, Sixth brother is so elegant today. It's rare to see you two gathered together." Shi Yechen took the initiative to walk over and say hello.
Shi Yubai closed the book in his hand and responded coldly, "Fourth brother, have you just come out from the emperor? I wonder what the emperor wants to see you about?"
Shi Chuan already knew the inside story. After all, the evidence was delivered by Fu Yanci himself. He jokingly said, "Fourth brother doesn't look too happy. Did he make father angry?"
Shi Yechen's pupils trembled slightly, his eyes filled with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's just some state affairs."
"I heard that fourth brother went to see father today, wanting him to arrange a marriage for you and my cousin? Fourth brother is really affectionate. A few days ago, he was with Miss Yan..." Shi Chuan raised the corners of his eyes and teased deliberately.
Shi Yechen didn't want to hear about this, so he said a few more words and said goodbye hastily, obviously very angry.
Shi Yubai reminded, "Sixth brother, you are not afraid that he will target you when you say this to him."
"Hasn't he been targeting you and me enough?" Shi Chuan stretched lazily, his long eyelashes like crow feathers drooping, looking very comfortable.
The two walked towards the Imperial Master's residence.
Shi Yubai thought for a long time before speaking, "Shi Chuan, you know I'm not as good as you, why do you help me so much?"
Shi Yubai's appearance is largely like that of the emperor. He is born strong and his personality is most like his. He is straightforward and honest, and has always been like this since he was a child.
Shi Chuan tilted his head and spoke slowly, "Third brother, don't underestimate yourself. The Imperial Master has long said that you have great love in your heart, and you have a straightforwardness that I don't have."
Shi Yubai was stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed, all his emotions were self-evident.
——
The next day.
The sky gradually brightened, and the morning sun filtered through the window paper, adding light to the room.
It was Chunhua again today. She had a look of ashamedness on her face and forgot to put down the scissors in her hand as she ran into the house.
"Miss, don't sleep, tell me if it's true!"
"My mother, my grandmother, my clothes, my jacket, my brain has become a cerebellum, Miss, when did you get together with the Imperial Master?!"
Jiang Qiao was so annoyed by the noise that she tried hard to open her eyes. A pair of large scissors appeared in front of her, frightening her instantly. "Chunhua, you were sent by Feng Ruoxi, right? Do you want to kill me?"
Chunhua then remembered that she was still holding a pair of scissors in her hand. She quickly threw them aside and said, "No, no, I'm on your side, Miss."
"Why are you calling me so early?"
Chunhua quickly got down to business, "Miss, you know the Imperial Preceptor, the one in the palace! Rumor has it he won't live past thirty-five!"
Jiang Qiao: "Let's get to the point."
"He brought a whole yard full of stuff to our house early this morning, and he said it was a betrothal gift! Miss, could it be that the Imperial Master wants to marry you?"
Jiang Qiao: "Maybe. I didn't expect him to be so fast."
Chunhua was about to cry. Didn't her daughter like the Fourth Prince? And she had never met the Imperial Preceptor before, so why was she suddenly getting engaged? If this wasn't forced marriage, what was it?
"Master Imperial Preceptor is such a scoundrel! He actually wants to force you to marry him. It's all right, because he's so handsome, but...but...Miss, you'll have to be a widow from now on!"
Jiang Qiao: ...
"Chunhua, actually... I'm quite willing to do that. I'm not afraid of being a widow."
Chunhua: I never thought that the lady was so obsessed with beauty! (/ω＼)
Jiang Qiao couldn't sleep, so he got up and asked, "Has Fu Yanci left?"
Chunhua also figured it out. Her young lady would marry him first. After all, a genius like the Imperial Master was rare. She could sleep with him as long as she could. After the Imperial Master died, her young lady could remarry.
"Not yet. The Imperial Master went to the General's study."
Jiang Qiao didn't know that she was that kind of person in Chunhua's heart. "Then help me with my makeup first."
…
In the study.
Jiang Hao would definitely not talk to Fu Yanci like this normally, but today was different. He kept talking, "My Qiao Qiao has been..."
Fu Yanci sat upright. He seldom left the palace and seldom visited the ministers' homes, so he seemed a little awkward today.
"You are right."
Jiang Hao remembered something and spoke with a serious tone, "In a few days I'll be heading to the border again. This time the situation will be different. You must have heard that things in Southern Qiang have been uneasy lately and there's a possibility of war. This time it's very dangerous... I don't plan to let Qiao Qiao and her daughter accompany me. I don't know if I can come back this time... Fu Yanci, please take good care of them for me."
Jiang Hao had lived for decades, and although he wasn't often at court, he knew that the emperor had been able to hold onto power for so many years thanks to Fu Yanci, a man he could entrust his life to. It was a pity that his life was short-lived...
"good."
…
The wedding date is set for three days later, which is really tight. Jiang Hao doesn't want it to be like this, but he has to leave soon.
Jiang Hao wanted to see Jiang Qiao get married in person, just in case he couldn't come back...
