Chapter 297 Have these two been flirting with each other for a long time?
Li Wuyang remained expressionless as he handed over a confession, "Yes, this is the confession of the troublemaker."
The emperor flipped through the documents and found that the mastermind behind this was the Emperor of Nanyue, and the man who came to him was their spy in Da Qi.
He snorted coldly, "The thief is still determined."
"Wuyang, although this is a grand frame-up, many ignorant people will believe it, which is extremely detrimental to your reputation. Do you still insist on marrying her?"
Li Wuyang had already sent people to guide public opinion, but it was difficult to say it out loud, "Marriage is not a joke. Once a marriage is promised, it will never be changed."
He paused and said calmly, "What's the point of having a good reputation? I don't want to be an emperor. As an emperor, I get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, and work harder than cows. What's the point?"
The chief eunuch gasped. This man was becoming more and more outspoken.
Li Wuyang said it very frankly, "From the moment I took charge of the Mingjing Division, I knew that my life was to protect the emperor and the royal family. My reputation is not important."
The emperor looked at him steadily, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"I can't take care of so much, but you are responsible for the marriage between the two countries."
Li Wuyang was silent. He wanted to use him, but was also suspicious of him. This was the heart of an emperor.
"In my opinion, only by taking the princess into the palace can the interests of both countries be maximized. Otherwise, I will not feel at ease marrying her to anyone."
The emperor was thinking over and over again, "I am too old to handle this."
Li Wuyang said expressionlessly, "You are the king of a country, so work harder for the country."
The emperor's mouth twitched, and he said disrespectfully, "Don't you want to share my worries?"
There was something hidden in his words, and Li Wuyang refused without hesitation, "No, I'm not interested in those women."
The emperor asked in return, "Isn't Jinyun a woman?"
Li Wuyang smiled faintly, "A wife is equal to her husband, and her body is equal to his."
Time passed quickly, and everyone in the Yun family was busy preparing for the wedding.
The clan office came almost every day to discuss the details of the wedding.
Prince Rui's marriage is a big event, and it must be done to perfection.
Yun Zheng, on the other hand, had the most free time. She went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to work every day and kept the Guangchusi firmly in her hands.
Every time Manager Zhang saw her, he seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Yun Zheng ignored him and didn't ask a single question.
Don't ask, she knew exactly what he wanted to say.
One day, Zhang Zongguan finally couldn't help himself and said, "Princess, the wedding is coming soon, why aren't you at home preparing for the wedding?"
Yun Zheng glanced at him with a strange look in her eyes. "My parents will take care of it. I'll just need to provide some support when the time comes."
Manager Zhang: ...I have never seen such a dear wife.
He forced a smile and said, "After you get married, who will take charge of the Guangchusi? I have a good candidate and I would like to recommend him to you."
Yun Zheng asked calmly, "Who is it?"
Zhang, the chief steward, said with a smile, "Yes, the tea storehouse manager, Niu Tianci, was originally the manager of your Yun family's business. He followed you to the Imperial Household Department and is incredibly loyal."
Niu Tianci? He was her direct descendant, someone who had followed her all the way. Would he defect to someone else?
Yun Zheng weighed the matter in her mind and said, "I'll consider it."
Manager Zhang couldn't see anything unusual on her face and felt a bit of a headache.
"How about the deputy general manager? He'll take your place. If there's anything important that can't be decided, you'll still be asked to make the decision."
Yun Zheng's mouth twitched. Is that what he meant by asking her to just put her name on the list, so that others can take the good things and she will have to bear the consequences if something goes wrong?
"Oh, let me take a look first."
When Manager Zhang heard that there was a way, his eyes lit up and he felt extremely disdainful.
As for women, no matter how hard they work before, they will retreat to the backyard after marriage and devote themselves to their husbands and children.
Haha, she had wanted to compete with him for the position of the Chief of the Imperial Household Department before, which made him worry and unable to sleep for several nights. He overestimated her.
The two of them had their own thoughts and they had a pleasant chat.
After seeing off Manager Zhang, Yun Zheng let out a long sigh.
Zi Yan on the side couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you really going to retreat to the backyard?"
That's such a pity.
Yun Zheng smiled slightly, "How is that possible? I was just teasing him and wanted to see how many people would jump out."
It’s no wonder that not only the Imperial Household Department is ready to make moves, but other departments also have their own ideas.
After all, the several projects she has are very profitable, and she wants to get them all for herself and make them her own political achievements.
Besides, who doesn’t want to take the opportunity to make more money?
Unfortunately, no matter how they hinted or expressed it, Yun Zheng remained unmoved.
They didn't dare to use force because Jiu Qian Sui was standing behind her.
After Yun Zheng got off work at the yamen, she did not go home immediately, but went to the most luxurious restaurant in the capital.
The shopkeeper took her to the luxurious box on the third floor and pushed open the door. The two young men stood up in unison and saluted at the same time.
"Meet the princess."
Cui Changyan stood tall and graceful, "Princess Jinyun, we are truly flattered that you are willing to come."
Yun Zheng nodded slightly and took a seat in the main seat, and then the two of them sat down.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Cui Changyan presented a list with both hands, "This is a wedding gift from the Cui family of Qinghe to you."
Zheng Changrong also handed over a list, "This is the wedding gift from our Xingyang Zheng family to you."
Yun Zheng took it and glanced at it. The list was very long, and every item was a rare treasure.
“That’s thoughtful.”
Seeing her accept the gift, Zheng Changrong boldly said, "There's one more thing. Linglong Porcelain, our cooperative, has run into some trouble, and I'd like to ask for your help."
Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
Zheng Changrong looked dejected. "My father insisted on handing this project over to my half-brother, saying he'd need this as a backup when he splits up from the family business."
"And I will inherit the Zheng family in the future. All the Zheng family property will be mine, so don't be too stingy."
"He also asked me to introduce my half-brother... to you. Now, he insisted on coming to the capital with us. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to come and see you too."
His tone was a little strange, and Yun Zheng's heart moved, "Just an introduction?"
Zheng Changrong's expression was complicated. "My half-brother has a good appearance and is very deceptive. He always manages to seduce young girls and wives to follow him."
Yun Zheng understood everything, "So he's a pretty boy who flirts with other girls."
Zheng Changrong: ...There's nothing wrong with that. His half-brother is a loser, but he has a natural talent for seducing women.
A cold voice sounded, "So, you want to snatch people from me?"
When they heard the sound, they both jumped up in unison, startled and frightened.
Once you hear it, you'll never forget it.
"I've seen Nine Thousand Years Old."
Oh my god, why is this guy here too? Is he here to catch someone cheating?
Although, they didn't have any affair.
Yun Zheng smiled slightly, "You're here."
Li Wuyang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, his eyebrows and eyes smiling, "Well, I'm here."
He sat next to Yun Zheng without even looking at the menu, "What do you want to eat? Their camel hoof soup is pretty good, would you like to try it?"
Yun Zheng nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll also order a stir-fried chicken breast, a pork tenderloin, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and a duck in a gourd with eight treasures."
The smile in Li Wuyang's eyes became even brighter. "These are all my favorite foods."
Yun Zheng smiled sweetly, "I love to eat it too."
The two of them were chatting and laughing as if no one was around. Cui Changyan and Zheng Changrong were embarrassed. It turned out that they had made an appointment.
They looked at each other, not knowing whether to leave or stay. What should they do?
"Sit down."
"yes."
Cui Changyan was as quiet as a chicken. He didn't dare to recall the scene when he proposed to Yun Zheng. Oh my god, it was so stupid.
Only now did he realize that the two of them had been flirting with each other for a long time...ah, they were in love.
Zheng Changrong explained carefully, "It's just a small matter, I just wanted to remind you."
Li Wuyang said calmly, "It's time to give the Zheng family a good beating."
There was a commotion outside. Zheng Changrong frowned, "What's going on?"
The waiter's eyes lit up with excitement. "The two princesses of Nanyue Kingdom and the prince and princess of Xiling Kingdom have arrived in the capital at the same time. The people are all watching."
Everyone looked out the window and saw two teams with completely different styles entering the city together.
Just happened to pass by downstairs.
Yun Zheng lowered her head to look at the gorgeous carriage in the middle. The woman in the carriage happened to look up, and their eyes met, sparks of fire flew everywhere.
