Chapter 181 Token of Love
Yun Zheng felt sorry. Why did she back down? She should have fought till the end. How could she chase her and beat her if she backed down halfway?
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
She easily won a resounding victory, and everyone is so disappointed. Tell me, what's going on with the Zheng family's eldest son? I'm halfway through eating the melon, and I feel uncomfortable!
Manager Zhang was also very disappointed. That was it? There was no fight!
No, I have to give her some trouble and let her know that he still has the final say in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Lord Xiaoyun, a country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. You are only a fifth-rank official here, not a second-rank princess. You must abide by the rules here."
Yun Zheng asked curiously, "What rules?"
Zhang Zongguan handed over a thick book. "This is the rules and regulations of the Imperial Household Department. There are 109 articles in total. You have three days to memorize them. There will be a test."
The officials exchanged glances, thinking that this was a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for the female official.
Even a genius couldn't memorize so much content in three days.
Lord Zheng had a smile on his face, wishing Yun Zheng bad luck.
Yun Zheng flipped through the pages casually and found some were reasonable, some were unreasonable, and some were weird.
She casually asked, "Manager Zhang, what is Article 57?"
Manager Zhang was stunned. Was she testing him?
"I am your immediate superior, you are turning against me."
Yun Zheng said confidently, "As the head of the Imperial Household Department, you must lead by example. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public."
Manager Zhang: ...We can’t live like this anymore!
Everyone remained silent, having a clear understanding of how difficult Yun Zheng was to deal with.
She didn't even give Shangguan face, she was unscrupulous and fearless, so what were these people to her?
Don't mess with her! You can't afford to mess with her!
A clear voice sounded, "That's right."
Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a handsome man in a wheelchair, surrounded by a group of Mingjingsi.
Manager Zhang felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Why did this evil star come?
He did not dare to neglect and was the first to bow down, "Greetings to the Nine Thousand Year Old."
Everyone saluted in unison.
Li Wuyang noticed the shining Yun Zheng in the crowd at first sight. This official uniform suited her very well.
"Everyone, get up."
Yun Zheng raised her head and smiled sweetly at him, and Li Wuyang's mouth corners rose slightly.
I haven’t seen her for three days, I miss her!
Zhang Zongguan asked cautiously, "Nine Thousand Years Old, why are you here?"
Li Wuyang looked at Yun Zheng openly, "Princess Jinyun, the Emperor has a message."
Having said that, he stopped and looked around with cold eyes.
Manager Zhang understood that this was an oral order that could not be heard by others.
The emperor favors Yun Zheng too much. On her first day of work, he sent people to support her.
But the situation is stronger than people.
He immediately dismissed his men and pointed to the main room on the east side. "Nine Thousand Years Old, there's no one in that room. Please go in and issue the decree."
Inside the room, there was a set of desks and chairs by the window, a row of large cabinets against the wall, and two armchairs and a coffee table on the right.
Yun Zheng glanced at the large window. The lighting was good, but there was no obstruction, which was not good.
"Did the Emperor really give an oral order?"
Li Wuyang cleared his cough. There was no oral instruction at all. He just wanted to find an excuse to see her.
"The Emperor has ordered that Yongning be ordained as a nun in three days, and that royal nobles and officials of the third rank and above be present with their families."
This doesn't require him to make a special trip.
Yun Zheng's eyes lit up. Although she was a fifth-rank official, she was a second-rank princess and a noble.
"I want to go, but the emperor is busy with all sorts of things. Why would he suddenly think of Yongning?"
Li Wuyang just smiled and said nothing. Yun Zheng understood immediately that he was the one who had put on eye drops.
Yongning did something like that and still wanted to get away with it? He was dreaming.
“Well done.”
Looking at her shining eyes, Li Wuyang felt a little happy in his heart. She praised him.
He really wanted to hold her hand, but there were too many eyes staring at him.
Their affairs cannot be put on the table yet, just endure it!
He resisted the urge to get close to her and asked softly, "Do you need my help?"
Yun Zheng smiled and shook her head, "No, I can handle it myself."
She looked very proud and said, "Let me set a small goal for myself first. I will take over Master Zheng."
She was so cute when she was cocky and arrogant that Li Wuyang couldn't help laughing.
Yun Zheng pursed her lips slightly, "What are you laughing at? Are my words funny?"
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Li Wuyang quickly explained, "You are so beautiful when you are ambitious and high-spirited. I like it that way."
Yun Zheng was a little embarrassed, her face flushed, "Hehe, I think I'm beautiful too."
The relationship between the two of them suddenly changed, and she hadn't adapted yet, so she felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
Li Wuyang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and took out a brocade box from his arms, "This is for you, do you like it?"
It is a phoenix hairpin inlaid with luminous pearls, which is extremely exquisite.
Yun Zheng fell in love with it at first sight. "It's so beautiful! Why did you think of giving me a phoenix hairpin?"
Li Wuyang blushed slightly, "I thought this jade hairpin suits you very well, so I bought it."
He looked up at the sky and the earth but didn't dare to look at her, his ears were red, "Well, it can be regarded as a token of love."
He actually has this side to him! Yun Zheng's heart was filled with sweetness, and she smiled brightly, "It's so beautiful, I like it very much. What do you want? I'll buy it for you."
The smile in Li Wuyang's eyes was about to overflow, and he played with the jade ring, "I like everything you give me."
Yun Zheng's eyes fell on the jade ring. It looked so familiar. Wasn't it the one she had given him? Did he always wear it?
She said proudly, "I have a good eye."
Li Wuyang pointed at himself and said, "Yes, I have a very good eye, and an even better eye for choosing men."
Is he praising her or himself?
Yun Zheng couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha."
Li Wuyang also laughed, and for a moment, the atmosphere was sweet and warm.
At this moment, a depressing sound came from outside, Mingjingsi's scolding, and someone wanted to get closer.
"This humble official requests to see the Ninth Prince. I have something to report."
It was Lord Zheng. He had gone away and returned, ignoring the obstruction of the Mingjing Division, and insisted on breaking in to file a complaint.
Ming Jingsi, who was guarding the door, stared at him. This guy was so annoying.
Li Wuyang was extremely disappointed and shouted coldly, "What's the matter?"
Lord Zheng spoke righteously, "I accuse Princess Jinyun of forcing Old Madam Qian into submission and attempting to manipulate me for her own ends. She is also forming a clique for personal gain and attempting to manipulate promotions and demotions within the Ministry of Internal Affairs. These crimes are heinous."
He wanted to give in temporarily, but after being ridiculed by his opponent, he could no longer suppress his anger.
They have bad intentions, but there is a saying that is true: if you take a step back, you will retreat step by step until you have nowhere to retreat and can never turn around.
He didn't expect to completely suppress Yun Zheng, but rather to try to salvage her a little.
The most important thing is to drag the Qian family into this! Kill with a borrowed knife!
Li Wuyang: ...? Does he look like a selfless person?
Yun Zheng immediately denied it, "I didn't do it. If you don't believe me, call Madam Qian to confront her face to face."
Lord Zheng was furious, "Old Madam Qian was so angry that she had a stroke, how come?"
Yun Zheng's heart moved. This was an opportunity that had come to her door. "Are you senile and confused? She clearly fainted because of the anger she felt from her unfilial descendants."
She was just looking for an excuse to attack the Qian Mansion. Qian Hui had already entered the palace, but the Qian family had not yet fulfilled the agreed terms.
You can't deny your debt.
When she thought of this, she immediately became full of fighting spirit, "Let's go to the Qian Mansion to confront him."
She wants to fleece the sheep!
Li Wuyang's wheelchair slid down the stairs. He stared at Lord Zheng with a flicker in his eyes and asked deliberately, "Princess, what did you say just now about the Zheng family's eldest son?"
Lord Zheng trembled all over and his face turned pale instantly.
