Riding the Pheonix Chapter 224: Marriage

When Yang Shu entered the palace, the court had just dispersed. ()

Many courtiers were walking towards the palace gate, but he was the only one going against the flow of people.

Most of the veterans who have been officials for many years know Princess Mingcheng well, and when they see her, they rarely stop to say hello.

Prime Minister Lu Qian deliberately stopped to carry his father - he was old and had inconvenience in his legs and feet. The emperor was considerate and gave him a special carriage to carry his father.

"Third Young Master, are you going to see the Holy One?"

Yang Shu was still very respectful to this veteran minister who was over seventy years old. He bowed and said, "Yes."

Lu Qian smiled and said: "Today morning, Jiang Wenfeng reported that the beggar gang in the capital has been uprooted by you. This is well done! In the early years, when I was Jing Zhaoyin, I also cleaned up the beggar gang, but they couldn't help it. The cunning rabbit burrowed three times, and within a few years it came back to life. You young people are still motivated and can outcompete us old guys."

Yang Shu replied: "Thank you, Prime Minister Lu. Combating the beggar gang is not a one-day achievement. Although the thieves' den has been cleared now, it will take a lot of effort from Mr. Jiang to prevent future troubles."

Hearing what he said, Lu Qian smiled even more kindly: "The third young master is right."

The two of them only said a few words and then separated. One goes out of the palace to work, and the other enters the palace to meet the saints.

In the eyes of others, this is nothing. Who doesn’t know that Lu Qian received help from Princess Mingcheng when he was in despair in his early years? It is human nature to take more care of their descendants, let alone just meet and chat.

But in the eyes of Prince Jiang Sheng, it was a bit of an eyesore.

Wen Yuan whispered: "Mr. Lu really looks at him differently."

Jiang Sheng felt uncomfortable, but said: "After all, I have my aunt's kindness."

Wen Yuan said again: "He is not so kind to His Highness."

Jiang Sheng said nothing and strode forward.

Lu Qian is the Prime Minister and has always upheld his integrity. No matter how others fawned over him as the prince, he always dealt with business matters and was neither close nor distant.

Jiang Sheng thought this was good before. He is the crown prince, the rightful heir apparent, and Lu Qian's best attitude is to be non-partisan and unbiased.

But these days, I don’t know why, but I feel more and more uncomfortable.

He is not party-minded or partial, but he is so kind to that boy that he has nothing to say. Whenever my father is mentioned, he always has something nice to say.

That boy does not have the status of a prince, but if one day...

The more Jiang Sheng thought about it, the unhappy he became.

But Wen Yuan said something else: "The fourth sister seems to be frightened. She has not been able to sleep well these days. The third sister is very distressed and wants to go to Xuandu Temple to ask for an amulet for her. Your Highness, you have been uneasy recently. Ning, how about going together?"

Jiang Sheng suddenly paused.

Wen Yuan was startled by him. Seeing that his face was not good-looking, he wondered if he should relax a little.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Sheng smiled again: "Okay!"

I just picked him up and wanted to push him to him. I was really anxious.

The Wen family has helped him a lot over the years, and it is his uncle's family. He originally thought that it would be good to have a cousin to calm their hearts, but who knew they would actually deceive him like this.

I have been missing for half a month, and I don’t know if my innocence is still there, so I still want to blame it on him. Now she is the Crown Princess, and in the future she will be the Queen. The Queen who was once kidnapped by the Beggar Gang for half a month, is he still shameless?

It's time to tell them to give up.

……

The emperor soon met Yang Shu. After hearing his report on the case of bones in the bridge cave, he smiled and nodded: "Jiang Qing reported that you have done a lot of work. Have you been working hard these days?"

Yang Shu lowered his head and replied: "I'm just an assistant manager, so it's not hard work."

"You are responsible for all the intelligence. What you have done is no less than Jiang Qing!" The emperor smiled, "You have made a contribution, tell me what you want? I will reward you."

Yang Shu thought for a while and said, "I just couldn't think of it at the moment. Can I save it first?"

The emperor laughed: "Okay, just save it first."

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Yang Shu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the intelligence is the work of another person. I would like to ask for a reward for him."

"Are you talking about Ji Wei?" The emperor played the chapter.

"Yes." Yang Shu said, "He has no official or position, but he is willing to take this risk just because of his righteous indignation."

The emperor smiled and said: "Do I need to speak personally about this matter? Under the Imperial City Division's gold medal, you can handle it as you wish."

Yang Shu was a little embarrassed and said, "He doesn't want to come to the Imperial City Division."

"Oh?" The emperor thought of something, "Yes, you said that he is a descendant of the Ji family. His father and brother should hope that he will have a decent family background, right?"

"Yes."

"It's easy, I just make him a casual official."

After talking about business, the emperor smiled and said: "Okay, I have nothing to do here. Go see your aunt. She has something to tell you."

Yang Shu agreed and respectfully resigned.

Cui Shun was already waiting outside. When he saw him coming out, he greeted him with a smile and led him to Qianqiu Palace.

Concubine Pei is still in Lingding Pavilion, but instead of painting, she is discussing with the palace officials about brewing plum wine.

Seeing him coming, he smiled and waved: "You haven't been here for a long time. You don't like your aunt anymore when you are older, right?"

Yang Shu saluted and said softly: "I've been busy lately, and it's just come to an end now."

"My aunt has heard about it." Concubine Pei sighed and said, "The fate of those women and children who were abducted and trafficked is really tragic. Fortunately, you solved the case, and they will not suffer anymore in the future."

Yang Shu smiled faintly and changed the topic: "Your Majesty said, do you have anything to ask me about?"

"Oh." Concubine Pei remembered the business and waved to the palace attendant with a smile, "My aunt has been paying attention to you for a long time. Come and take a look. How do you think these are?"

Yang Shu saw that the palace servants brought scrolls of paintings and spread them out in front of him. The paintings showed young women in different postures.

"..." His face became a little stiff.

This is not the first time. When he paid filial piety, Concubine Pei came just once.

He thought that this matter had been explained clearly, but it turned out that she...

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Concubine Pei asked him.

Yang Shu suppressed his anger~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "Empress, I have already said that I will not consider this matter..."

When he is angry, he will call her empress and call himself a minister.

Concubine Pei stopped laughing and said seriously: "Shur, the so-called fate has always been a fool's talk. The more you take it seriously, the more it becomes the same thing. Your father only has one bloodline, you If he doesn’t get married and doesn’t keep a wife, do we want him to have no children?”

"I am not the only one in the Yang family." Yang Shu said harshly, "The eldest brother and the second brother have descendants, they are all descendants of the Yang family."

"But they are not your father's sons!" Concubine Pei did not give in this time, "This is not one person's business."

Yang Shu lowered his head and did not retort, but he did not intend to give in.

His appearance made Concubine Pei helpless. He has been like this since he was a child, refusing to give in to anything he doesn't want to do.

Concubine Pei's eyes softened and she asked softly: "Shur, tell your aunt the truth. Is it because of that fate or because of... this girl that you don't want to marry?"
