Chapter 117 This is the consequence of offending Yun Zheng
The emperor rarely said more, "I just want to balance the forces of all parties. This time I will let them do it, and next time I will let Jinyun do it. Please help me explain it."
He never explains to anyone, nor does he need to explain.
But at this moment, my conscience is hurting, although it is only a little bit.
Li Wuyang glanced at the emperor. The emperor didn't want Yun Zheng to dominate the Imperial Household Department completely, so he wanted to try to find a substitute.
From the emperor's perspective, this idea is not wrong. However, people are alive and their hearts are warm.
"She is different from others. She is only interested in making money for you and building an imperial mausoleum for you. Who in the court has such a heart? They only want to benefit from you."
He sighed softly, "She doesn't care about others, so no matter what others do, she can't be hurt. But she is sincere to you, Your Majesty, you have hurt her heart this time."
The emperor felt uncomfortable and frowned, "Doesn't she like calligraphy? I will write a few for her."
He doesn't believe in sincerity, but hopes that others will be a little sincere to him. Human nature is so complicated.
Li Wuyang asked back, "Do you really think she likes it?"
“Sincerity is the least valuable, but also the most precious.”
After Li Wuyang left, the emperor sat there in a daze for a long time, with those words echoing in his ears.
Yes, sincerity is the least valuable and emperors don’t want it, but why would there be a little regret?
"Otomo, am I really wrong?"
The chief eunuch replied firmly, "How could the emperor be wrong? It was Princess Jinyun who failed to uphold the code of conduct of a subject."
The emperor frowned slightly, "But, which minister is willing to spend money only for me? Otoko, are you willing?"
The chief eunuch was secretly shocked. After this incident, Princess Jinyun's weight in the emperor's heart increased, which was not a good thing.
There is one more person competing with him for favor.
"Of course I am willing. I belong to the emperor."
The emperor said coldly, "But you have no money."
The eunuch: ...It hurts!
At Princess Jinyun's mansion, Yun Zheng sat in the yard, looking at the gifts on the table.
There is a gold-inlaid jade ruyi, a black lacquer and gold-painted flower and bird dressing box, and inside is a set of kingfisher feather and sapphire inlaid headpieces, a total of 16 pieces, shining brightly.
"What's the meaning?"
Li Wuyang smiled slightly and said, "The gift bestowed by the Emperor is meant to appease us."
"Hmph." Yun Zheng snorted coldly and arrogantly. You think you can appease her with just this little thing?
She's not that easy to coax!
Li Wuyang took out a three-layer food box and said, "I got it from the imperial kitchen. Eating sweets will make you feel better."
The aroma of various exquisite snacks filled the air, and Yun Zheng's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Mr. Nine Thousand Years."
"It's delicious, worthy of the craftsmanship of the imperial kitchen."
She took a bite of the dessert and a sip of tea, her mouth full of fragrance. "But don't worry, I'm not that fragile."
Li Wuyang was still worried, "Are you really okay?"
Yun Zheng's eyes rolled, "Something's going on."
She took out an invitation and said, "This is an invitation. I invite you to attend the celebration banquet for my title as Princess."
Father Yun had wanted to do this for a long time, but Yun Zheng had been busy before and had no time. Now she can finally do it.
Li Wuyang took it solemnly and said, "I will definitely go."
Yun Zheng smiled sweetly, "Don't you want to check the time and place?"
When he saw this little expression, Li Wuyang's first reaction was, who is going to be unlucky?
He opened the invitation and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly.
The time is the day of the charity auction and the location is the original Yun Mansion.
In other words, the venue that was originally intended for a charity auction was transformed into her celebration banquet.
There was no waste at all, and he stabbed those people hard.
"Do you have any blank invitations? Give them to me and I'll write them and deliver them for you."
The royal family has to submit, all the important ministers have to submit, and the heads of various departments have to submit. Let’s see who dares not to come.
Yun Zheng's eyes lit up, and things became even more interesting when he made a move.
This is clearly a way to support her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are a very kind man."
Li Wuyang's eyes, as black as the abyss, stared at her steadily, "I won't let anyone bully you, no one."
Yun Zheng asked with a nonchalant smile, "Emperor, can't you do that too?"
She was just joking, saying it casually.
Unexpectedly, Li Wuyang's answer was extremely firm, "He can't do it either."
Yun Zheng was stunned, a strange feeling flashed through her mind, and she stared at him blankly.
The man looked focused and serious, his beautiful black eyes reflecting her figure, with a hint of tension in his eyes.
Yun Zheng's heart skipped a few beats for unknown reasons.
No, that's impossible. She must be overthinking it.
How could he possibly fall for her? He was the high and mighty Ninth Thousand Years Old, the Ninth Emperor's Uncle, revered by all.
"you……"
Li Wuyang's heart was beating wildly, and his bony fingers suddenly tightened.
At this moment, an urgent voice sounded outside, "Nine Thousand Years Old, there is urgent military information at the border."
This sound disrupted the dark night of infatuation, and a sense of loss flashed through the hearts of both of them.
Li Wuyang gritted his teeth secretly, but remained expressionless. "I'm leaving first. If you have anything, come find me at the Mingjing Division."
"good."
Before leaving, he reminded me, "Don't worry about anything, I'm here."
Yun Zheng smiled slightly, "I'm not worried, I just want to see the joke."
The various ministries almost came to blows in order to compete for the power of presiding. After repeated negotiations, they reached an agreement that the six ministries would jointly handle the matter, and the Censorate and the Dali Temple would be responsible for supervision.
This can be considered as sharing the benefits equally.
Everyone is full of expectations and just wants to make a fortune.
However, the cold reality taught them how to be a good person. They can handle officialdom well, but they cannot handle the business world well.
One day, the Left Censor-in-Chief's eyes suddenly widened, "What did you say? Say it again."
The subordinate reported cautiously, "The Yun Mansion will host a grand celebration banquet for their own county that day, and all social engagements will be declined."
Everyone was shocked.
The Left Censor-in-Chief was furious. "We agreed to hold a charity sale at the Yun Mansion, and the preparations were almost complete. How could she go back on her word?"
The Minister of Revenue scoffed coldly, "You don't even pay, and you still want to take advantage of someone else's garden and preparatory work for free. How is that possible?"
This is Princess Jinyun's style. She will not suffer any loss and will always seek revenge.
The Left Censor-in-Chief had a good plan and had made preparations in advance. He also had a venue and everything was ready.
They just need to wait patiently for that day and hold the auction.
However, as time was approaching, Yun Zheng took action to cut off the source of the problem, disrupting their plans.
They were so anxious! Their eyes turned red with anxiety!
It’s too late, ahhhh!
This is just the beginning, and what will make them even more devastated is yet to come...
