Chapter 41 The bumpy road of love
But then he thought again, the purpose of this bracelet is to see the ancestors of the royal family, and it would be useless for the right prime minister to ask for it.
But once the seeds of doubt are planted in your heart, they will grow and sprout.
Li Yueyao thought about it and decided to only wear it when she slept and not wear the bracelet at other times.
After Feng Shenyu returned to his mansion, he called his secret guard leader Yu Zhan and ordered him to "Send someone to investigate the whereabouts of the 1.1 million taels of silver for disaster relief."
"Yes." Yu Zhan took the order and left.
Feng Shenyu was in a good mood today. He stood up and personally trimmed the orchid by the window.
Yantai came in from outside, looked at her husband standing in the light, and said with a smile: "My husband, did you have a smooth journey into the palace?"
"Well, it went well." Feng Shenyu said with a smile in his voice.
"You've chosen a good outfit. You've done a great job."
Upon hearing this, Yantai grinned and said, "My dear, is the person you are looking for the Grand Princess of Jinyang?"
"Yeah." Feng Shenyu answered simply.
Yan Tai grinned and laughed when he heard this.
But then he heard Feng Shenyu say, "Go and deliver this letter to Zi'an."
"Yes."
Huan Zi'an was the second son of Duke Xing. He and Feng Shenyu had studied together at Nanshan Academy and had always been good friends.
After entering the court, Huan Zi'an always followed Feng Shenyu's lead and was Feng Shenyu's loyal supporter in the court.
He currently serves as Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Feng Shenyu knows the court very well, which means he has not been willing to take care of court affairs in recent years. If he were willing, the court would have been peaceful long ago.
Now that I have agreed to Li Yueyao, I naturally have to do something to win the favor of the beauty.
To deal with the Left Prime Minister, we must first take down those people in the Ministry of Revenue, and then fill the Ministry of Personnel with our own people.
If the teeth of those people in the Censorate were broken, Gao Hongchen would not be able to move.
To deal with the Ministry of Revenue, it is natural to involve a large corruption case from the small cases in the hands of the Dali Temple, so that all the people in the Ministry of Revenue can be caught in one fell swoop.
Feng Shenyu had prepared for this small case a long time ago, and now all he had to do was let Huan Zian dig it up.
Yan Tai took the letter handed to him by Feng Shenyu, turned around and left.
Feng Shenyu continued to prune the flowers and trees, and after a while, Prince Shou'an Li Huaiyu arrived.
He sat down on the chair, leaning against the backrest with a boneless look.
"Hey, Ice Face, I heard you found that girl? Whose family is she from?"
Prince Shou'an is the grandson of Li Yueyao's legitimate prince, Prince Cheng, and is considered the emperor's cousin and another nephew of Li Yueyao.
This man is two years younger than Feng Shenyu, and he usually hangs out with Feng Shenyu in a lazy manner.
Feng Shenyu ignored him and continued pruning the flowers and trees.
Prince Shou'an sat down, drank a sip of tea, observed for a while and said, "You are in a really good mood today. You have been cutting flowers for such a long time."
"I heard that you went to the palace today. Did you go to see the virtuous concubine?"
Feng Shenyu replied: "No."
"Is that to see His Majesty?"
"no."
After hearing this, Prince Shou'an pondered carefully and said, "Could it be that he is going to see the Grand Princess of Jinyang?"
"You're smart, you guessed it right."
Feng Shenyu put down the flower scissors in her hand and went to wash her hands.
After hearing this, Prince Shou'an thought for a long time, and suddenly jumped up as if he was pricked by a needle in the butt.
He rushed to Feng Shenyu in a few steps and stammered, "You...you...you can't be...are..."
Feng Shenyu turned to look at the dumbfounded Shou'an County Prince and said with a smile, "It's just what you think."
When Prince Shou'an saw Feng Shenyu's smile, he was stunned.
He murmured, "Ice face, you smiled."
After a while, he turned back and muttered to himself: "Tsk tsk... the person you are looking for is actually Aunt Jinyang."
After saying that, he reached out and patted Feng Shenyu's shoulder and said:
"You are such a disloyal fellow. I treat you as a brother, but you want to be my uncle.
Then I will be a generation shorter than you."
Feng Shenyu smiled and said nothing.
"Tsk tsk, you're really different. You're laughing more right now than I've seen you laugh in the past ten years I've known you."
After saying that, he curled his lips and said, "Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you, my aunt is not someone who is easy to deal with.
The late emperor had previously betrothed him to Pei Xiang from the Pei family, but Pei Xiang died unexpectedly just after the engagement.
Later, some people said that she was unlucky in marriage, so this delay lasted for three years. After the death of the previous emperor, she went to Chunshan for seven years.
At this age, I'm afraid I've already given up the idea of getting married.
I'm afraid your love life has been a bit bumpy."
Feng Shenyu listened and said calmly: “I have been looking for you and waiting for you for ten years.
Now that I've finally found it, how can I give up just because of this little difficulty? "
Prince Shouan nodded and said, "That's fine. I wish you a successful start."
Then he smiled and said, "Since you have a happy event today, you have to treat us. Shall we go to Wanhua Tower?"
Then he denied it himself and said, "No, Wanhua Tower was raided last night for some reason.
How about we go to Yanyu Tower?
The Misty Rain Tower is built by the lake, and the twilight is hazy, with a beautiful view.
The key point is that two sisters, Yanyun and Yanyu, have recently moved there. I heard they are both stunningly beautiful. Let’s go and see them together.”
Feng Shenyu shook his head and said, "No. We've found everyone, so why go there?"
Prince Shou'an looked Fengshenyu up and down and said, "Are you going to remain a virgin to my aunt?"
Feng Shenyu said seriously, "Haven't I been guarding her all the time?"
Prince Shou'an touched his chin and said, "No wonder you never stay overnight at Wenroufang.
I thought you were not capable of this?
It turned out to be for my aunt.
In that case, I'll forgive you for now and go by myself."
As he said this, he stood up, waved his sleeves, and walked out gracefully, as if the person had never been there.
Feng Shenyu seemed to have gotten used to the mysterious appearance of Prince Shou'an, and didn't even raise his eyebrows.
When dusk fell, Li Yueyao went to accompany the emperor for dinner again.
"Your Majesty, you can't take the Imperial Master's longevity pills anymore. They're full of poisonous drugs. If you don't take them, you might even recover faster."
The emperor nodded without saying anything.
Li Yueyao added, "I talked to the Right Prime Minister today, and he agreed."
"What are the conditions?" the emperor asked calmly.
"Let me promise him one thing."
The emperor put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's the matter?"
"This is a matter that has nothing to do with the country and the people, and does not violate the law, morality, or righteousness. This matter only concerns me, and has nothing to do with others."
After hearing this, the emperor looked at Li Yueyao with a strange expression and said, "He won't..."
I must have some intention towards you.
The emperor did not say the second half of the sentence.
"What's wrong?" Li Yueyao asked.
"You don't want the token in your hand, do you?" the emperor made up a random sentence.
"This matter has nothing to do with the country. Besides, I don't want to give him those tokens, so I'll use the excuse of returning them to you and ask him to ask you for them."
Seeing that Li Yueyao didn't think about that at all, the emperor continued eating.
While eating, Li Yueyao said, "Fortunately, I cooperated with Feng Shenyu this time. He said that the position of Minister of Revenue was sidelined.
The money Zhaoqing used to provide disaster relief in Lingnan Province might have fallen into the hands of the Left Prime Minister.”
The emperor looked at Li Yueyao abruptly after hearing this. "This batch of silver has been passed through a clear channel, yet you dare to touch it. Has the Ministry of Revenue become so corrupt?"
Li Yueyao saw this and said soothingly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Feng Shenyu has volunteered to handle this matter."
Then he smiled again and said, "He's not ordinary smart. As soon as I mentioned it, he knew we were going to use him to contain Gao Hongchen."
The emperor listened, lowered his head and continued eating: "He is very smart, but it seems that his mind is not in the court.
But... let's wait and see, maybe he'll be more attentive in court this time."
After saying that, he glanced at Li Yueyao, only to see that Li Yueyao was happily eating a plate of fried yam in front of her.
The emperor sighed inwardly, "This girl is like a piece of wood. When will she ever get married?"
