Riding the Pheonix Chapter 225: Given official status
Yang Shu's eyes were cold: "What do you know?"
Concubine Pei looked at him with a calm expression: "You brought her into the Imperial City, do you still expect to hide it from others?"
Seeing that he was silent, Concubine Pei waved her hand, and the palace attendants retreated one by one, leaving only the two of them. ()
Concubine Pei said: "When you are older, my aunt will not pry into your life, but there are some things that you have to ask about."
Yang Shu lowered his head, and the thorns on his body slowly softened.
"Aunt, we talked about this topic three years ago." He said softly, "You said fate is a fool's talk, but for those who live in it, this is real bad luck. What's more, , I don’t know how to face my family after getting married, and this has nothing to do with anyone.”
"My aunt originally thought so too." Concubine Pei looked at him, "But after that girl appeared, you changed a lot."
"..."
Concubine Pei gently held his hand: "Shur, now that changes have occurred, do you still want to live your life with the same ideas as before?"
Such tenderness made Yang Shu unable to get angry.
But when asked to obey, he was completely unwilling.
After a long time, he said: "Auntie made these portraits today, not for me to look at, but to say this?"
Concubine Pei chuckled: "These ladies are for the Crown Prince to choose his concubines. My aunt just borrowed them for her own use."
Yang Shu frowned: "Why are you doing this?"
"It's not that you are too stubborn." Concubine Pei said, "If my aunt directly asks about that girl, I'm afraid you won't even look good to others."
When Yang Shu heard this, he raised his head uncomfortably.
Concubine Pei patted his hand: "Okay, don't think too much. What my aunt wants to tell you is, don't think too much. If you like that girl, just come and ask for it. Your wife, nothing else It doesn’t matter, as long as you like it.”
Yang Shu whispered: "What did you say? She is engaged."
"If you have an engagement, you can break it off, and it doesn't matter if you have a bad reputation. If I can get you married, it doesn't matter if my aunt uses her power to bully you. Anyway, my reputation will never get better."
The last sentence was said with a hint of ridicule.
Yang Shu's heart trembled.
Although Concubine Pei is the most favored concubine in the Sixth Palace, she is not the same as the doting concubine in the eyes of the world. Her only hobby is painting, and she can stay out of Lingding Pavilion all day if she has nothing to do. After the queen died, she became the head of the harem and rarely used palace affairs to establish her authority. She just did whatever she wanted.
But she still doesn't have a good reputation despite being so quiet.
Just because she is a beloved concubine and has a bad background.
"Look at you, you haven't had a good rest for a few days, haven't you? Don't act recklessly because you are young, you will suffer in the future. Stay for lunch, the imperial kitchen happened to kill a live deer, and asked them to roast the deer. ..."
……
Everyone in the Ji family was still in a daze after sending away the **** who had delivered the order.
Just half an hour ago, everyone in the Ji family came back from school, and suddenly they were greeted by the **** who was delivering the order.
The Ji family has been in decline for so long, and they no longer know how to welcome the imperial decree.
Nama Tong had met her at the Ming family in the early years and hurriedly arranged it.
Then the **** announced the edict and granted Ji Wei, the fifth son of Ji, the eighth rank of minister.
Everyone in the Ji family was stunned.
After a high-ranking official is honored, it is not difficult for his children to become unofficial officials. However, the Ji family has no foundation now, so why did they inexplicably reward Ji Xiaowu as a minister?
Although he is only of the eighth rank, he is still an official!
Mr. Dong was puzzled and poked Ji Ling: "Hey, my uncle actually became an official earlier than you."
Ji Ling was jolted back to her senses and looked at Ji Xiaowu.
This boy did not feel any joy at being awarded the official title, and his whole body shrank.
He looked at Master Ji and Mrs. Ji again.
Madam Ji still looked like she was in a state of confusion, while Mr. Ji's face sank and he shouted: "Ji Xiaowu!"
Ji Xiaowu shivered and almost knelt down, crying and saying: "Dad..."
Master Ji was furious: "Tell me, what did you do?"
"I, I didn't do anything..." He sighed.
"The Holy Emperor will grant you an official position if you haven't done anything? Why go deep into the den of thieves...don't you tell me?!"
Ji Xiaowu mentally scolded the person who requested the order so badly that he didn't dare to show any trace of his face. He lowered his head deeply and had no courage to speak.
Master Ji was so angry that he wanted to ask for help: "It's really amazing! If I don't beat you, it seems you won't say anything!"
"Master!" Mrs. Ji saw something bad and stopped her in time, "You can't do it! Xiaowu has just been commended by the Holy Father, so why don't you just beat him up? How can this be heard?"
Master Ji was stunned for a moment and became even more angry: "That's awesome! Your father can't control you anymore!"
When Ji Ling saw this, he could only comfort him: "Dad, don't worry, I'll tell him."
He picked up Ji Xiaowu and asked, "Do you want to **** dad off to death? Since the Holy One has rewarded you for your birth, it shows that what you have done is a good thing. Is there anything you can't say? When dad scolds you, he is just worried about your business trip. "You made a mistake. If you didn't do anything wrong, tell me properly, and dad will understand, right?"
Ji Xiaowu was frightened: "No, don't hit me?"
"Are you still afraid of being beaten?" Ji Ling laughed at him, "Come on, hurry up and say it. You have gained an official position, which means you are promising. What are you doing hiding behind you? It's a joke that big brother is much older than you, but he's still a human being. Bai Shen, have you been asked to take the lead?"
"No, of course not."
"If not, just tell me quickly! I don't know how worried your parents are about you, fearing that you won't be able to support your wife and children in the future. Now that you are proud and proud, you will also make them happy!"
Three halls interrogated, Ji Xiaowu saw that he could not escape, so he had to carefully tell the story, how he sneaked into the Beggar Clan and worked as an internal agent for the Imperial City Division...
"That's it!" After listening to this, Mr. Ji tasted the food and suddenly became furious, "So you and your husband lied to you, saying that you were going on a study tour, but you were actually going to do it?"
Ji Xiaowu realized something was wrong~IndoMTL.com~ and shouted: "Dad, it wasn't me who did this, it was my cousin! My cousin worked with others to deceive me, and I didn't know she gave me anything until my husband came home. What do you mean by study tour..."
Master Ji was furious and grabbed the feather duster to beat him: "How dare you slander your cousin!"
"I didn't slander you!" Ji Xiaowu hurriedly said, "She really pushed me to the top. Dad, you believe me!"
The screams spread outside, and Mingwei sat on the roof next door and cracked melon seeds.
"Did you do this?" She glanced at Yang Shu who was peeling melon seeds opposite.
Yang Shu had no expression on his face: "I originally wanted to summon him to the Imperial City Division and give him an identity token to get rid of the problem. Who knew he didn't know a good person's heart, so I had to report the truth. After all, it's not like taking credit from others. I won’t do it.”
Mingwei sneered: "You are really narrow-minded. Didn't you just reject you once? This is how to retaliate against him. Now that my uncle and the others know about it, even if my cousin still wants to stay out of the matter, they will probably urge him to help you. Work. Kill two birds with one stone, good strategy."
Yang Shu corrected himself in his mind: Killing three birds with one stone.
