The young ladies present were silent, not daring to make a sound. Yi Zishu pointed a trembling finger at Chen Su and said angrily: "Chen Su, don't go too far! As the Marquis of Xuanping, you lower your status..."
Chen Su put one hand behind his back and gave Yi Zishu a stern look. "Master Yi, if the news of the women gossiping about others behind their backs gets out, it will only hurt the reputation of each family. You'd better think carefully before making a decision."
Yi Zishu's hand slowly dropped down. He glanced at his daughter who looked worried, and knew that this matter was not groundless. Perhaps someone had used the recent rumors as a topic of conversation and was heard by Chen Su.
The thought in his mind flashed away, and he heard Chen Su say again: "I will not pursue today's matter any further. I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."
Chen Su seemed not to notice the ugly faces of the crowd and left quickly.
Yi Zishu was very angry at his rebellious behavior, and stared at Chen Su's back with fire in his eyes.
Yi Qian's face also turned ugly. She glared at the instigator, walked forward and bowed to her father, saying, "Father, it's my fault that I couldn't stop this in time. Please take care of yourself. I'll leave this matter to you."
We can't leave outsiders alone forever. Fortunately, not many people followed us, otherwise things would have gotten out of hand.
Yi Zishu's face turned pale, he waved his hand and left in a hurry.
Yi Qian looked at the person who started it, a trace of anger flashed across her face. Before she could say anything, someone said, "This is clearly an unprovoked disaster. We weren't the ones discussing it, so how can it be our fault?"
"Exactly, what if this gets out?"
"Princess Mingyi was personally appointed by His Majesty. If anyone has any dissatisfaction with her, why not go and speak to His Majesty and His Majesty instead of coming to our Yi family to say such malicious things? If anyone spreads unfounded rumors again, they will be sent back to where they came from. We no longer welcome them in our Yi family!"
Miss Li Er tried her best to shrink into the crowd. People's contemptuous eyes fell on her from time to time. She didn't dare to look up. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and ran away with her face covered.
Yi Qian didn't say anything, but sent two servants to send Miss Li Er out of the house safely.
Chen Huaixu didn't find out about this until the evening, when Lidong let it slip.
"Daddy, did you have a fight with someone?" She was a little worried. If she could use physical force, she wouldn't be worried, but this was the capital, and she couldn't use physical force easily.
"Nothing." At first, Chen Su's face was not very good. He sat at the desk and didn't concentrate on anything. After seeing his daughter, his face softened a lot. "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Shen Huaixu, who was wearing a cloak, shook his head and said, "Dad, you hate to argue with others the most. Why don't you talk to Miaomiao?"
Just after she heard some bad rumors about herself, her father started arguing with others. She couldn't help but feel suspicious and thought it had something to do with her.
"There are bound to be many gossipers in the capital, and even more. If Miaomiao hears something unpleasant in the future, just reveal your identity as the county lord and your father's name."
Shen Huaixu waved his hand nonchalantly, "Dad, rumors are just rumors after all. They can't come true, and they won't hurt me. Even if I do, as your daughter, I won't suffer any loss."
This father is very easy to coax. I entertain him with colorful clothes and tell him some funny things that happened today to make him laugh, and then the matter will be over.
The father and daughter were not greatly affected, but Lord Yi Zishu tossed and turned at night, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Finally, he ran to the emperor to complain.
The emperor could neither get a word in nor be absent-minded, so he could only close his eyes and pretend to be serious.
"······Your Majesty, the post of Jingzhao Yin is related to the safety of the capital of our Great Jin State. Xuanping Hou is vindictive and arrogant - how can he be worthy of the important task of Jingzhao Yin with such behavior? Your Majesty, please think twice!" He knelt on the ground and kowtowed with worry.
The emperor slowly opened his eyes and asked instead of answering, "Lord Yi, I heard that your father's birthday was a few days ago. How is the old man in good health?"
Yi Zishu didn't understand why, but he still answered honestly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My father is in good health..."
He wanted to continue talking about the Jingzhao Yin matter, but was interrupted by the emperor, "Some time ago, the Marquis of Chen gave me a painting. I like it. Why not give it to Yi Qing as a gift to your father?"
Eunuch Xi seemed to have been prepared for a long time. After a while, he brought a painting. Yi Zishu recognized it as the "Lovesickness Preface" at a glance. His face turned red and white, and he secretly cursed Chen Su as an "old fox" in his heart.
Before, you didn't even bother to give it to him, causing him trouble. Now, you are using Your Majesty's hand to "bribe" him. You let him do all the good and bad things, and he can't even say "no"!
Yi Zishu took the "Lovesickness Preface" and left the palace, stroking his chest.
The handwritten letter appointing Shen Su as Jingzhao Yin was quickly delivered from the palace to the Marquis' Mansion, and Shen Su became busy.
After a series of tedious matters, the news of Shen Su's appointment as Jingzhao Yin reached Beichuan County with a letter sent home by Shen Huaixuxin.
The entire Jiuxi Village was talking about this, not to mention the Jiang family.
"I didn't expect that His Majesty still thinks highly of the Marquis. The position of Jingzhao Yin is a good job." Jiang Zhengmao said with emotion.
"Uncle, what does the Jingzhao Yin do?" Jiang Wei couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Sanlang knew this, and he raised his hand. "It's just like our county magistrate. The county magistrate is in charge of the county town, and the Jingzhao Yin is even more powerful. He is in charge of the capital city!"
Jiang Wei's eyes widened in surprise. "So powerful?! Isn't the imperial palace also in the capital? Can it also control the affairs of the imperial palace?"
"Silly!" Jiang Boliang tapped Jiang Wei's head gently. "The whole world belongs to the emperor. The emperor controls all the world's affairs. Don't say that outside."
