Chapter 325 Shower
Shen Tang nodded heavily.
"Of course I can."
The princess forced a smile on her face.
Although the princess also hoped so, she knew in her heart that finding the Grand Master's brother might not be as likely as persuading the Emperor to let Mrs. Huo's offspring inherit the title.
But as long as people live in this world, they must always have hope.
The princess did not ask Chen Tang to accompany her back to the Peony Courtyard, so Chen Tang returned to Chenxiang Pavilion.
Unfortunately, the princess only gave birth to one son, Xie Guimo. Even if Xie Guimo took the initiative to give up the title of Jingyang Palace and inherit the Zhenguo Mansion, the prince would not agree. It would be better if the princess had another son.
You will be adopted by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion first, but not inherit the title. If you make meritorious deeds on the battlefield in the future and ask more ministers to speak for you, the emperor will most likely let you inherit.
It's a pity that the princess doesn't have another son. Madam Huo could have taken this path, but the child is still in her belly. It will take at least twenty years for the child to grow up to an age where he can make achievements. Can Madam An hold on until then?
Once Madam An is gone, it will no longer be possible to take back the title of Duke of Zhenguo.
…
The news that Pingyuan Marquis Mansion found the lost second young master spread throughout Kyoto.
Before and after the morning court session, all the civil and military officials congratulated Shen Sui.
It will make people hate you if you say it out loud, especially if you have a prodigal son at home.
Shen Sui's two sons were murdered and left to wander outside, and were raised by others. Neither of them was raised in a wrong way. They were born and raised by themselves, but it turned out that they were neither good at literature nor martial arts, and they were only good at fighting cocks and walking dogs. If I had known that I would raise them like this, I would have thrown them away right after they were born.
Many ministers congratulated him while feeling wildly jealous in their hearts.
Congratulations were not just verbal congratulations. The ministers all sent gifts to the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion, but Shen Sui was in a dilemma as to whether to accept the gifts or not.
After receiving the gifts, a ancestral banquet should be held. It is reasonable to do so, after all, tracing one's roots is a big deal.
But in the past few months, Pingyuan Marquis's Mansion has held too many happy events. Chen Tang got married for the first time, Chen Xi got married, Chen Tang married Xie Guimo for the second time, and Xiao Huan returned to his ancestral home...
There are too many wedding banquets and they are too concentrated. Generally, there are only one or two weddings in a year. After all, there are still many honest officials in the court, and giving gifts is also a big burden. As officials in the court, other ministers have sent gifts, and it would be unreasonable for you not to send one. Everything requires reciprocity. If you don't send one today, when you hold a wedding in your house next time, no one will come, and it will be cold and deserted, which will make people laugh at you.
There are too many wedding ceremonies, which may give people the suspicion of taking advantage of the opportunity to make money.
But his colleagues sent him gifts to congratulate him on finding his lost son, and he couldn't just refuse them.
Besides, Chen Xing had been wandering outside for so many years, and Chen Sui felt guilty about it. Now that he had narrowly escaped death, he should hold a grand banquet to welcome his return.
As for whether to hold the clan return banquet, Shen Sui hesitated for two whole days before making a decision.
That day, Chen Tang came back from visiting the garden with her maid and went to the study to find Xie Guimo.
As soon as I walked outside the study, I heard two light coughs coming from inside the study.
Ginkgo whispered, "Is the prince catching cold?"
Chen Tang thought that was not the case. Xie Guimo was a martial artist, and his body was like a furnace. It was not easy for him to catch a cold.
Ginkgo was a little worried. "I heard from the maid in the yard that she saw the prince taking a shower by the well last night..."
It's already autumn, and it's too cold to sleep even under a blanket at night. I don't know why the prince would take a shower in the middle of the night when it's so hot.
Chen Tang, "..."
Shen Tang’s face flushed.
She slept soundly at night and didn't know that Xie Guimo got up to take a shower.
She doesn't even know about this, so how can you tell her what to do?
Thinking about the way Xie Guimo looked at her these days, sometimes with resentment, sometimes like a hungry wolf, Chen Tang felt that she was not doing him justice.
But she didn't dare to ignore Zhao Yuanzheng's advice, and neither did Xie Guimo.
It’s better not to enter this study.
Chen Tang turned around to go back, but Xie Guimo had already spotted her, "Come in."
Chen Tang had no choice but to turn around and go back into the study.
Seeing her go in, Xie Guimo looked at her and asked, "Don't you dare to come in?"
Chen Tang, "..."
To be honest.
I am a little afraid.
But even if I don't dare, I can't admit it. It's so embarrassing. Chen Tang said, "I just suddenly remembered that I have something to ask Mother Zhou..."
"Come closer."
"You are busy, I will go find Mother Zhou..."
near?
Impossible.
Chen Tang was about to leave, but Xie Guimo stopped her with one sentence, "There's news from Ganzhou."
Shen Tang's steps came to an abrupt halt.
She turned to look at Xie Guimo and asked, "What news?"
Xie Guimo picked up the book on the table and did not answer.
Shen Tang saw through his deliberate actions and wanted her to get closer before he would tell her.
Although the affairs of Ganzhou have nothing to do with her, they are related to her second brother. The affairs of Ganzhou are related to the case of Envoy Lu Xuanfu. The Lu family raised her second brother for sixteen years, so she can't help but pay attention to it.
Chen Tang glared at Xie Guimo, then walked over. As soon as he walked over, he was pulled into his arms and asked, "What husband would take cold showers every day after marrying a wife?"
He said this while almost biting Shen Tang's earlobe.
But that place was Chen Tang's most sensitive spot. When bitten, his body went limp. Chen Tang blushed and said, "This, this can't be blamed on me..."
"Then who should be blamed? Blame Zhao Yuanzheng?" Xie Guimo asked.
Chen Tang, "..."
At this moment, Zhao Yuanzheng, who was busy dealing with things in the Imperial Hospital, sneezed for no reason.
Can't this bastard blame himself?
Shen Tang retorted in his heart.
Xie Guimo said, "It's been ten days."
Chen Tang whispered, "But Dean Zhao said half a month..."
The man's face darkened visibly.
This topic was not good, so Chen Tang quickly changed it, "You haven't told me yet, what news has come from Ganzhou?"
Xie Guimo gritted his teeth and said, "You care about Lu Xuanfu's family more than your husband does."
Jealousy comes unexpectedly.
Shen Tang couldn't resist at all.
It's not that she didn't let him touch it, it's Zhao Yuanzheng who said it's best not to. Zhao Yuanzheng prescribed medicine for her, so she must be right to listen to Zhao Yuanzheng.
Chen Tang said, "You lied to me. There is no news from Ganzhou, right?"
Xie Guimo pinched Chen Tang’s nose, “I’m not lying to you, can you come to my arms?”
They couldn’t sleep together, and even hugging each other had to rely on lies. Xie Guimo didn’t want to talk anymore.
Chen Tang stood up to leave, but Xie Guimo wouldn’t let him, “Just stay with me.”
How can I read a book like this?
Shen Tang looked helpless.
Si'er ran in from outside and saw Chen Tang sitting in Xie Guimo's arms. Her face turned red and she quickly turned her back and reported, "Prince, Princess, the Marquis requested that the Second Young Master be made the Crown Prince. The Emperor has approved it."
It was expected that my second brother would become the crown prince, but it was a bit too hasty.
But after thinking about it, Chen Tang knew why. In order to hold the Returning Clan Banquet, establishing the Crown Prince was also a big event, and generally a banquet would be held. His father invited the Crown Prince to be established at this time and held it together with the Returning Clan Banquet, so he could receive one less gift...
Chen Tang, "..."
I have seen people coming up with all sorts of excuses to receive gifts, but I have never seen people combining things into one to receive fewer gifts.
