Chapter 241 Plastic Father-in-law and Son-in-law
Wei Qingyan was used to being alert, so even though she was extremely tired, she woke up as soon as there was a knock on the door.
She didn't need to think about who was outside the door, Feng Ruobao's voice rang out, "Your Highness, His Majesty said that the time for offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple should not be missed, Your Highness can go alone."
Shi Yu's face darkened.
Without thinking, everyone knew what the emperor meant. Shi Yu got up from the bed and said to Wei Qingyan, "Sleep a little longer."
Wei Qingyan thought his parents must want to know about the Merit Seal, so he said, "Let's go together. Newlyweds should be in pairs to avoid gossip."
As she spoke, she stood up, but her feet went weak and she almost lost her balance.
Shi Yu hurriedly helped her up, "Be careful."
Wei Qingyan glared at him, and when he met his sullen eyes, he suddenly felt that it was a wise move for his father to send someone over so early in the morning.
Otherwise, if her legs were too weak to get out of bed as a general protecting the country, wouldn't her reputation be ruined in bed?
Shi Yu didn't know what Wei Qingyan was thinking. It had been a long time since he saw Wei Qingyan's weak side. He couldn't help but raise his lips and said, "I was wrong."
Just like when they were little, he would often tease her, making her angry, and then apologize to her, but his apology was not sincere because he would deliberately provoke her again next time.
Wei Qingyan felt his shoulders and chest trembling slightly, and naturally knew what he was laughing at. Thinking of the years when he was forced by him to call him a bastard, he secretly rubbed his aching waist and vowed to turn the situation around one day.
When Feng Ruobao learned that Wei Qingyan was also going to the palace, he first sent a small eunuch to the palace to report the news, while he waited at Prince Rong's mansion.
Seeing this, Wei Qingyan and the others did not waste any time. After washing and changing clothes, they went straight into the palace.
You can go directly to the palace to have breakfast. The emperor will definitely prepare it.
As they expected, when the emperor learned that Wei Qingyan would also come to the palace, he regarded today as Wei Qingyan's return home and hurriedly asked the imperial kitchen to prepare breakfast.
It just so happened that he didn't need to attend court today, so he waited directly in the dining hall.
The empress dowager was deposed, and the late emperor was hiding in some unknown corner. It was unnecessary to pay homage to Wengci. Shi Yu was not a member of the Shi family, so offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple was just a formality.
The two men soon arrived before the emperor.
Dismiss all palace servants.
The emperor looked his daughter up and down. She was still wearing the human skin mask, but she looked in good spirits. On the contrary, there were faint bloodshot eyes in Shi Yu's eyes. He knew that he probably didn't sleep much last night. Thinking of the reason why he didn't sleep, the emperor glared at him with the same bloodshot eyes.
Shi Yu knew how to exploit the emperor's weaknesses and said respectfully, "The son-in-law pays homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Good, good, very good!
This bastard is just trying to step on his sore spot, right?
The emperor gnashed his teeth, but smiled and said to the two of them, "Let's eat first."
Although he was eager to know about the Merit Seal, since it was related to his daughter's sexual life, the emperor was not in a position to ask in front of his daughter.
When Shi Yu sat down, he said to Feng Ruobao, "Ruobao, pick up two rice dumplings for your husband. They are his favorite."
Hearing the emperor's words with such gritted teeth, Feng Ruobao sympathetically picked up two rice dumplings for Shi Yu, placed them on the plate in front of him, and said with a smile, "Prince Consort, try some."
Favorite? Perhaps it's the one I hate the most.
The emperor originally wanted to use the title of "son-in-law" to suppress Shi Yu, because he knew that the status of a son-in-law was lower than that of a princess.
But unexpectedly, Shi Yu didn't care at all. Instead, he seemed to enjoy it very much and said with a smile, "Thank you, father-in-law."
It doesn't matter whether he is Prince Rong, the prince consort, or the Crown Prince Feng Zhao, as long as he is Wei Qingyan's husband.
Glancing at the pure white dumpling wrapper, Shi Yu guessed that the eggplant inside was something he couldn't eat. He picked one up with his serving chopsticks and gave it to Lan Shu, "Mother-in-law, please eat more."
The remaining piece was undoubtedly given to the emperor. "Father-in-law, you eat too. I see that you have been working so hard lately and you look haggard."
He trusted his royal brother so much, but he didn't expect that his royal brother would betray him in front of Xiao Yan. Fortunately, he predicted this possibility in advance, otherwise, his wedding night with Xiao Yan would definitely be ruined, and the seal of merit would never return to Xiao Yan.
The emperor's expression was almost unbearable. When he was thinking about tripping Shi Yu up again, the voices of Wei Qingyan and Lan Shu rang in his ears at the same time.
"Father, please try this."
"Today's bird's nest porridge is good, you should have some."
The mother and daughter looked at each other helplessly in the air, silently complaining about the two childish men.
His wife and daughter protected Shi Yu, so the emperor had to give up and had to accompany them to finish breakfast with a smile on his face.
After receiving Wei Qingyan's hint, Shi Yu no longer dared to provoke the emperor, and greeted the emperor with great respect.
When Lan Shu took Wei Qingyan to talk in private, the emperor's face immediately fell, and he wanted to scold Shi Yu.
However, he had betrayed Shi Yu before, and if he really wanted to scold him, Shi Yu was not someone who would give in to him. He might not get any good result, but would instead get angry.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and ask about the Merit Seal. Only when he learned that the Merit Seal had returned to Wei Qingyan did he finally feel relieved.
Then he got down to business. "Someone broke into the imperial mausoleum these days. It was Little Ghost's men, probably looking for the real body... Su Mao learned that Little Ghost couldn't bring Su Fu back to life, so he planned to escape during your wedding, but was caught by my men."
Although Shi Yu got married yesterday, he did not relax his surveillance of Xiao Gui and Su Mao. So, knowing the situation, he asked, "How do you plan to deal with him?"
Su Mao had done so many bad things in the Wei Dynasty that executing him secretly was too easy for him.
The emperor pondered, "I originally wanted to use the little ghost to lead out the late emperor, but I still haven't found any clues about the late emperor. The little ghost is also restless. It may cause more trouble and endanger innocent lives. I don't want to keep him any longer.
But your brother, Prince Jing, is innocent, so let Su Mao take the blame."
In fact, the most important reason was that he hoped to let Wei Qingyan marry Shi Yu smoothly before dealing with the little ghost, but in order to prevent Shi Yu from being too proud, the emperor did not intend to let Shi Yu know.
But Shi Yu was clear-headed. He was grateful to the emperor for this. He bowed and said solemnly, "I will fully cooperate."
The emperor's mouth twitched, and he no longer called himself son-in-law.
"Madam Wei will be arriving in Beijing soon. I have been planning this for so long. As soon as Madam Wei arrives, I will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble.
I have decided to let Qingyan clean up this mess. She will be very tired by then, so I will let her have a good rest these few days."
Shi Yu's eyes darkened slightly, and he asked what was on his mind, "Do you have any plans for Xiao Yan?"
"Yes." The emperor did not deny it and looked at Shi Yu, "Will you intervene?"
Shi Yu shook his head. "Xiao Yan is not an ordinary woman. I have never thought of trapping her in the harem. However, I hope that the emperor can ask Xiao Yan's wishes before making a decision. I don't want her to be forced."
The emperor looked at him for a long time, then said thoughtfully, "I understand."
The father-in-law and son-in-law ended their conversation in a riddle, then each picked up a teacup, took a sip, and then put down the teacup at the same time and stood up to go to the side hall.
In the side hall, Lan Shu also learned about the Merit Seal from Wei Qingyan. She was delighted and clasped her hands together, saying, "Amitabha, it is truly the Bodhisattva's blessing."
Seeing that her daughter didn't blame her for drugging her, she asked some private questions. As a mother, Wei Qingyan could only speak briefly with a blushing face since she cared about this.
After that, they also talked about Madam Wei's upcoming trip to Beijing. Wei Qingyan said, "Mother, I want to confess my identity to my elder sister. I don't want her to find out my identity from other people."
Lan Shu knew very well how Wei Shiran treated her daughter. Regardless of whether Wei Shiran was willing to treat her daughter the same way after knowing her daughter's identity, Lan Shu felt that she should not hide it anymore.
Because the daughter's identity could soon be revealed.
"Do you want Mom to go with you?"
At this moment, the emperor and Shi Yu came in. Shi Yu said, "Mother-in-law, just take care of father-in-law. I will accompany Xiao Yan."
emperor,"……"
Although it was true that she wanted Lan Shu's protection, but when Shi Yu said it, she always felt that he had bad intentions. But since they were newly married, she couldn't stop him from accompanying her daughter.
The emperor felt that Shi Yu was becoming less and less likable, but his daughter and Lan Shu both protected him. He secretly wanted to take up more of his daughter's time, so he ordered Feng Ruobao to invite Gong Mingcheng and his wife directly into the palace.
Wei Qingyan didn't have the heart to watch the father-in-law and son-in-law competing with each other. She was a little nervous, worried that her elder sister would blame her after knowing the truth and would no longer recognize her as her sister.
Wei Qingyan was somewhat stunned when he realized how much he cared.
