"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."
Lin Cuicui held her daughter's hand and thought that she would be getting married in a while. Her nose felt a little sore for a moment. She was afraid that everyone would notice, so she could only change the subject.
"A-Li, your third brother came back a while ago and even followed me all the way to the capital. Later, I told him to find a girl, but he left again."
"Mom, how is Third Brother doing?"
Before he left, I stuffed a lot of banknotes into his pocket. I don't know if he took them with him.
Speaking of this, Lin Cuicui and Shen Changshan twitched their lips slightly. "They drove a small broken carriage to the capital, and the clothes they wore were also tattered. If they were not in good spirits, I would not want them to go out and fool around."
"Third brother has no money?"
"no."
Lin Cuicui coughed lightly and said, "I asked him, and he said he didn't want to take so much money out."
"Oh, then forget about him. Mom, did Third Brother leave any contact information?"
"Yes, I told him that you might get married. He left an address and asked us to write a letter and send it there. He would come back after seeing it."
"That's good."
Shen Jingyuan took Xu Taohua and Shen Mochi back to their yard, holding one hand each. As soon as they entered the yard, they heard a small cry.
Xu Taohua hurriedly let go of Shen Changshan's hand, ran into the house, took the crying Xiaobao from the maid, and coaxed him softly.
Shen Jingyuan pulled Shen Mochi and followed closely. He glanced at the little meatball in his wife's arms and said, "Wife, I'll coax Xiaobao."
"good."
Xu Taohua handed it to him, and seeing that he was a little stiff, she adjusted the way she held him.
"Husband, you are not feeling well holding Xiaobao like this. Come, take your hand."
Shen Mochi sat on a stool and watched this scene. The maid beside him had already left, leaving the family of four alone.
But he had never seen Shen Jingyuan before, and the baby in his arms became quiet and kept staring at Shen Changshan.
"Xiaobao, this is daddy!"
Shen Mochi moved closer, stood on tiptoe, and spoke to the little treasure in his arms.
Shen Jingyuan gently coaxed his youngest son and looked at Xu Taohua, "My wife, thank you for your hard work."
She shook her head and said, "My husband, I agreed to your joining the army. Our family is well off now, and my parents treat me very well. It's not hard at all. As long as you are safe, I am willing to endure any hardship."
…
Pei Yu traveled at lightning speed and arrived in the capital in just ten days.
"Your Majesty, Prince Jingnan has returned and is asking for an audience outside!"
The eunuch trotted forward and said to Xie Yunci, who was sitting in front of the imperial table, with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, the man immediately put down his pen and said, "What are you waiting for? Announce it now."
"yes."
Eunuch Qu trotted out again and came to Pei Yu, "Your Highness, the Emperor lets you in."
"Thank you very much."
Pei Yu walked in and said, "Your Highness."
"Pei Aiqing, please stand up. I have received the message that you are coming back. I didn't expect you to come back so early."
He glanced around and said, "Hey, where's the Princess of Hui'an? Why didn't she come with you?"
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Hui'an has returned to Qingxi County. She will go to the capital with the Shen family in a while."
"That's fine. When Princess Hui'an returns, I'll have the Imperial Astronomical Observatory choose an auspicious date for you two to get married."
Pei Yu nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty. This is what I planned as well."
"Haha, it seems like you're anxious, Zi'an."
Pei Yu continued to nod, showing no intention of denying it. "Yes, Your Majesty, I have long wanted to marry the Princess of Hui'an, but she has always refused."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that there would be such a day for you!"
Pei Yu smiled helplessly. To be honest, he had never thought about what kind of girl he would fall in love with in his life.
Later, Chen Li walked into his world and occupied his heart little by little.
"Lord Pei, you and the Princess of Hui'an have made the greatest contributions this time. Tell me what you want, and I will grant it to you."
"Your Majesty, I've discussed this with Ali, and we don't have anything we want right now."
Xie Yunci nodded, "Well, let me think about it, what should I reward you with?"
"Since you, my dear minister, don't want anything, I will grant you the reward. The Princess of Hui'an County will be promoted to the Princess of Hui'an County and will be granted a fiefdom. As for the fiefdom, I will designate the city of Guliang next to the state capital, so that it will be easier for you two to govern in the future."
"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of Princess Hui'an."
"Well, I've already thought about the reward for Princess Hui'an. As for yours, my dear..."
He was really at a loss as to what reward to give Pei Yu, and couldn't think of one for a moment.
As a prince, Pei Yu had previously been conferred the title of first-rank prince, and now there was nothing else to be conferred.
But Pei Yu had made many outstanding achievements. As an emperor, he was very lucky to have such a minister and had to reward him.
"Since you, my dear, have nothing to lack, I will reward you with a golden medal of immunity from death."
"His Majesty!"
To be honest, Pei Yu didn't expect that he would give this reward, and was really surprised.
He quickly reacted and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"
"Qing Pei, please get up! You've traveled a long way, so go back and rest. Come back to court in three days."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."
Eunuch Qu pretended to be Pei Yu and sent him to the door of the imperial study. He bowed to him and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness."
"Thank you, eunuch. When I marry the princess, I will prepare a glass of light wine and invite you to come and drink in the wedding wine."
"Oh, thank you, Your Highness. Then I can ask the Emperor for leave in advance."
Pei Yu nodded slightly at him, then turned and left the palace.
Eunuch Qu watched him leave, his heart filled with gratitude. This Prince of Jingnan became famous at a young age, and today he was awarded a golden medal of immunity from death by His Majesty. Within half a day, the whole court and the public would be shocked.
However, the prince and His Majesty are of the same mind, and this is a good thing for both the emperor and the court.
As soon as Pei Yu entered the palace, he brought back two imperial edicts. The news was soon known to all the major families and they were all shocked.
At the same time, they also understood that Pei Yu was now in a high position of power and had the emperor's approval, so they had no choice but to be on good terms with him.
Pei Yu returned to the Jingnan Palace. Uncle Fu had already heard the news and was waiting at the door.
"Your Majesty, you are back."
Pei Yu's expression softened slightly when he saw Uncle Fu. "Uncle Fu, how's life in the mansion been while I've been away?"
Uncle Fu is old, his hair and beard are gray, but his eyes are still bright.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have helped you manage the palace in perfect order. The servants in the palace are also doing their jobs well, and there has been no trouble."
"Okay, Ah Li and I are getting married soon. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory will come to our house in the next two days. Uncle Fu, you need to prepare the necessary things."
He took into consideration Uncle Fu's age and said, "You are old, so just tell the people below you to do it. There are also some other things I will ask the chief eunuch to do. Don't worry too much."
When Uncle Fu heard that Pei Yu was finally going to get married, he almost burst into tears. But when he heard that the prince cared about him, he was immediately moved beyond words.
