Cheng Liyan and Shen Yuyao looked at each other, then said to her, "Let's go and take a look together."
The old emperor was older than Prime Minister Shen and had passed away several years ago. His eldest son now succeeded him.
The new emperor was the son of the queen. He was made crown prince at a very young age and had to learn how to govern the country from the old emperor's side early on.
Therefore, he was also very clear about the things that happened in the Shen family.
The change of dynasties was smooth, without any chaos or strife among brothers.
Therefore, the emperor's mentality was relatively good, at least he did not have any thoughts about the Shen family.
But this is also related to the fact that the Shen family is now too powerful.
The three brothers of the Shen family can be said to have grasped the lifeline of Wushuang Country now. The opportunities and future of Wushuang Country are inseparable from the three brothers. To attack the Shen family is to attack the foundation of Wushuang Country. Any king with a little bit of brains would have to think about it.
Therefore, after confirming that the Shen family had no intention of rebellion, the emperor would treat them with courtesy and would not let them get away with it.
The same was true for the new emperor at this time.
The eunuch he sent to issue the decree was the head eunuch in the imperial palace. The decree was written in a very polite manner, inviting Shen Yuyao, Cheng Liyan and their children to visit the palace and saying that they would be entertained with a banquet.
Cheng Liyan was actually annoyed when the white-faced, beardless old man was reading the imperial edict in a nagging tone.
He came back this time to accompany his wife to see his mother-in-law off, and he had no other plans.
Although he couldn't understand what the long-winded imperial edict was saying, he understood one thing: the little emperor wanted to invite their whole family to dinner.
But Cheng Liyan didn't want to have this meal!
The little bit of good impression he had of the emperor when he visited the imperial city disappeared without a trace in the face of this imperial edict.
Cheng Liyan felt that this person was so unreasonable!
What are they doing now?
Today is the second day since the old prime minister passed away!
The whole family is heartbroken and is busy preparing for the funeral!
Would you like to have dinner at this time?
Are you trying to please me or to provoke me?
What's more, if you want to treat me to a meal, just treat me to a meal. Why make it so condescending?
Cheng Liyan glanced at the Shen family members kneeling behind them, and looked at Old Yue Li who was helped out of the Buddhist temple and kneeling tremblingly in the front. He felt really angry!
What a damn feudal dynasty!
Really. They don't treat people as human beings!
Yue Fei worked hard for this country, and what did he gain by dying?
There is not even the most basic respect!
Cheng Liyan thought that this damn new emperor was disrespectful to the Shen family by ordering them to have dinner at this time!
It's a provocation to their family!
Perhaps the new emperor really didn't think so. The reason he did this was more due to his innate superiority.
But at this moment he obviously had angered Cheng Liyan.
The head eunuch finally finished reading the imperial edict, and then he looked at the couple standing in the front with a friendly face.
He was about to say something respectful when the incredibly powerful male god standing next to the goddess suddenly sneered and said, "A mere Human Emperor, yet he's so arrogant! He even wants us to go to his residence for a banquet. Who is he? Can he afford it?!"
After saying that, he turned away.
The eunuch's face turned pale with fright.
He quickly looked towards Shen Yuyao.
But Shen Yuyao didn't even look at him, turned around and went to support her relative who was still kneeling on the ground.
Xiaoyi and Nanxi, on the other hand, cast a cold glance at the eunuch supervisor...
The head eunuch didn't know how he left the Shen family and was completely scared out of his wits.
Even though the people of the Shen family tried to persuade and explain to him later, telling him that the goddess and the priest had no ill intentions, it was just because they had kissed each other and were too sad inside.
But the eunuch chief still realized that what they did today had angered the two gods.
The head eunuch has been with the emperor for many years and has been by his side since the emperor was still the crown prince.
He also saw how the old emperor treated the goddess and how pious he was.
He even knew that the old emperor lived for several more days before his death thanks to the medicine he obtained from the goddess.
Now, if this invitation angers the two Divine Lords, the consequences will be...
The head eunuch shuddered and didn't dare to think too much.
Shen Yuyao did not express any dissatisfaction with her husband's behavior.
Perhaps it was because she had been away from this place for too long. Even after returning home, Shen Yuyao felt as if she was outside this world and could not fit in at all.
Especially since she had just seen the whole family kneeling in front of the old eunuch, and even her own haggard mother could only kneel silently.
Shen Yuyao understood, but was extremely angry!
She had no way to stop her family's behavior, but she did take her anger out on them!
She also felt from the bottom of her heart that the new emperor was a piece of shit!
This is such a big thing in my family, and I don't need your help, but at least don't get involved!
Who wants to eat your meal?
It's like alms!
So, it was fortunate that Cheng Liyan exploded first.
No, Shen Yuyao felt that what she said might be even more unpleasant than what he said.
Regarding the couple's actions, the Shen family expressed helplessness and had nothing else to say.
The main reason is that they have a strong foundation and are not as wary of the royal family as before.
The Shen family has been loyal ministers for generations and would not do anything to seize power or humiliate the country, but they are not afraid either.
So...you can scold me all you want, what can you do to me?
Compared with the calmness of the Shen family, the new emperor could not remain calm after learning about this!
He felt that he had done something very stupid!
He did this just to show goodwill and had no other intentions.
The reason why I chose today is not... it's because I'm afraid that the goddess will leave at any time.
He just wanted to express his enthusiasm.
But who knew that things would turn out like this!
"Who drafted this decree? Take him away and give him ten beatings!"
If you offend the goddess and the priest, it must be because the tone of the imperial edict is wrong!
The new emperor thought bitterly.
