If he doesn't accept the imperial edict of transfer today, he might never be able to hold his head up in the officialdom again!
What's more, if you don't accept the order, it would be tantamount to disobeying the order!
Even if Shen Yuming had more courage, he would not dare to do such a thing as losing his head!
"Your Majesty, I naturally accepted the marriage proposal because I love Princess Xinyue." Shen Yuming gritted his teeth, firmly holding down Shen's mother who wanted to rush out, and stepped forward with red eyes, "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I will obey your order."
Looking at Shen Yuming's expression, a sense of comfort rushed directly from the soles of Lin Chunhuan's feet to his head. The feeling was like the first sip of frozen Sprite on a 38-degree summer day.
It’s so cool!
She didn't understand what Sprite was, or how such a word came into her mind. She just squinted her eyes and looked at Shen Yuming's suppressed madness.
In the past, whenever Shen Yuming wanted something, he didn’t even have to ask for it. As a princess, she would run to her father and ask for it for him.
No matter how flattering the gift is, Shen Yuming will act as if he is annoyed and accept it reluctantly.
In the end, you will not only get all the benefits, but also gain a good reputation as someone who is not greedy for wealth and fame.
But now, she didn't want to do that. Instead, she wanted to see how far a mediocre person like Shen Yuming could go on his own without her help.
After taking a deep breath, Lin Chunhuan slowly emerged from behind Feiying, "I'm glad Lord Shen isn't angry."
"I personally asked my father for this proposal. You must behave well and don't let my father and me down."
After saying this, Lin Chunhuan pretended to be frightened, patted his chest and returned to the sedan chair, "Return to the palace!"
The princess's procession gradually moved away, and the streets returned to their former smooth flow. However, this time, even though Shen Yuming received the imperial edict, many people still pointed and looked at him.
"What are you looking at! Didn't you hear what that little bitch Lin Chunhuan said? This is the emperor's great trust in my son. You bunch of lowly people, have you ever seen what the emperor looks like?"
Although the Shen family rented the courtyard, as an official in the court, Shen Yuming naturally would not live in a too bad place.
So the people living on this street can only be said to be not that rich, but they are not ordinary people either. At least they have some knowledge.
Who can stand being scolded for no reason?
He immediately laughed unhappily and said, "Reuse?"
"Madam Shen, your son has at least passed the imperial examination and has won the third place. As his biological mother, you should have at least read some books. From a third-rank Minister of Works, you have become a fifth-rank Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple. You have been demoted four levels!"
"Those of us may not have much experience, but we have never seen anyone being reused like this before."
"If you have the time to curse at us here, why don't you think about whether your good son has been rejected by the princess? Don't scheme for so long and end up with nothing!"
No wonder the person who spoke was so ruthless.
The top scholar who took the imperial examination in the same spring as Shen Yuming was this person's student. Although he was not his formal teacher, he was responsible for his enlightenment.
Having produced a top scholar has always been the pride of this gentleman.
It just so happened that in that spring examination, a prospective imperial consort named Shen Yuming appeared, who not only stole all the glory, but also surpassed the number one scholar in official position.
It would be fine if the other party really had some ability.
But that gentleman had read Shen Yuming's articles and knew that he was just an ordinary person. In the past, he could do nothing but shake his head and lament the injustice of the royal family.
But today, he witnessed with his own eyes that Shen Yuming was pulled to the position he should be at his level. He felt very proud. How could he still bear it?
You should know that the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple and the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple seem to be of the same rank, but their future careers are completely different!
The gentleman laughed at him and left contentedly. However, Shen's mother panicked and quickly pulled Shen Yuming's sleeve to ask, "Son, is what those people said just now true?"
"You really got demoted four levels in a row?"
"Then...will anyone still send money to our family in the future? Is there a big difference between the third rank and the fifth rank?"
"And that little bitch Lin Chunhuan, she won't really abandon you, right? Back then, that little bitch you mentioned was completely devoted to you, telling you not to please her. Son, she's a princess, she won't..."
Shen Yuming was already extremely irritable, and after hearing what Shen's mother said, his uneasiness became more and more intense.
Although Lin Chunhuan came here today, she didn't mention anything about breaking off the engagement at all. She only responded when he brought it up, but that was the only response.
That had never happened before.
Lin Chunhuan, are you really going to cancel the engagement?
Thinking of this possibility, beads of sweat appeared on Shen Yuming's forehead. Until his fierce eyes fell on Bai Xiaoxiao, the other party shuddered suddenly, "Cousin."
"You...why are you looking at me like that?"
In an instant, Shen Yuming's eyes softened again. After comforting Shen's mother, he slowly walked to Bai Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, you have seen what happened today."
"Fu'an is already somewhat dissatisfied with me. At this time, Qin Song must not reveal the matter of the child." Shen Yuming sighed, "If I can't reach the highest position in the government."
"How can I give you the life you want in the future? Xiaoxiao, I'm really useless."
Bai Xiaoxiao is a really annoying person, and even more so, she is really vicious. Otherwise, she would not have killed her own half-sister when she was young just because of her youth.
But her ambition is real, and her friendship with Shen Yuming is real.
He immediately took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, cousin, Xiaoxiao knows what to do."
Seeing the light in Shen Yuming's eyes, Bai Xiaoxiao's heart changed subtly.
"Oh? What does Madam want to do?"
Before the two of them walked into the door, he boiled another bowl of abortion medicine.
Qin Song, who was definitely not supposed to be here, was standing in front of the two of them. Shen Yuming's expression changed immediately.
If you want to get rid of the baby in Bai Xiaoxiao's belly quietly, this is the best time. The longer you delay, the more trouble it will cause.
But Qin Song...
Qin Song walked up to the two of them with great strides, looking at Shen Yuming with a half-smile, “Master Shen and my wife have a really good relationship.”
"I just left home, and right after that, my wife actually moved into the Shen family. It's really unexpected."
Bai Xiaoxiao's expression changed several times, but after what happened last time, she didn't dare to show her power in front of Qin Song. "I just came to see my aunt, how come I live here? Qin Song, don't talk nonsense!"
