Soon, the carriage stopped outside the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Shen Luoxi strode in. The concierge immediately took her into the backyard and went straight to Shen Liubai's study.
Shen Luoxi walked so fast that the concierge almost failed to keep up.
At this time, Lu Xiangyun happened to come over with tea. When he saw Shen Luoxi coming, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Shen Luoxi nodded slightly and greeted her.
When she was about to walk into the study, Lu Xiangyun smiled and talked to her.
"Luoxi is here. Your elder brother was thinking about you the past two days." She said warmly: "Are you busy these days? I see that your face has become a lot thinner. It's rare for you to come back, so you have to stay today. Dinner?"
"Do you have anything you want to eat? I'll let the kitchen prepare it."
Shen Luoxi looked at her with some surprise. Lu Xiangyun didn't want to see her because the original person caused Shen Liubai to break his leg. Why are you so enthusiastic today?
Even if Lu Xiangyun married Shen Liubai, she didn't think Lu Xiangyun would treat her as a family member.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite. I just came here to chat with my eldest brother today. I don't want to make a living."
A bit of embarrassment flashed across Lu Xiangyun's face, "Why would Luoxi go back to his own house just to have a meal? Luoxi is really good at joking..."
"Why did you start chatting in front of the study door?"
Shen Liubai heard the voices outside and walked out. He reached out and took the tea from Lu Xiangyun's hand, "Luoxi and I have something to say. You can go back."
With that said, he called Shen Luoxi into the study.
Lu Xiangyun watched them walk in, his eyes flashing.
In the study, Shen Liubai asked Shen Luoxi to sit down, "The emperor passed away, so you didn't have any time, right?"
"Look, you are much thinner than before. No matter how much you have to do, you still have to take care of your body."
Shen Liubai looked at Shen Luoxi distressedly, and she just smiled lightly.
"My sister-in-law just now said something similar to my eldest brother. I just slept less and it's nothing." Shen Luoxi said, "My eldest brother came to me just to nag me, right?"
Shen Liubai looked at her angrily, "You think your elder brother is nagging you now? You..."
"That's all. Now you can make up your own mind. I won't talk about this anymore. I came to you to talk to you about the prince's enthronement."
When Shen Luoxi heard this, his expression became serious.
"When the prince ascends the throne, you will become the queen." Shen Liubai said seriously: "I asked you before if you wanted to reconcile with the prince, and now I ask you again."
"As long as you want, my eldest brother will go to the palace tomorrow to ask for an order."
Shen Luoxi was stunned. Before she came, she had guessed that Shen Liubai was looking for her because of Cang Yunxuan's ascension to the throne, but she didn't expect that this was what Shen Liubai was going to say.
She stared at Shen Liubai blankly, and then said slowly for a long time: "Brother, you don't have to do this for me..."
Cang Yunxuan is about to ascend the throne. At this time, I don't know how many people will be fawning over the prime minister and want to get some benefits in the future. What's more, as long as she becomes the queen, the benefits will be countless. Shen Liubai actually wants to take this opportunity. Push away.
If Shen Liubai really went to tell Cang Yunxuan about this, you can imagine the pressure he would have to endure.
"You are my sister. How can I, the eldest brother, not see what's going on between you and the prince?" Shen Liubai sighed softly: "If you ask me to exchange my sister for a high-ranking official and a generous salary, am I still worthy of being your eldest brother? ?”
"Luoxi, my eldest brother doesn't want you to compromise for the sake of the family. My eldest brother is talented and learned. Even without the shadow of my father and the icing on the cake of you becoming the queen, I can still accomplish something."
Hearing these words, Shen Luoxi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.
She felt her eyes burning and a warmth welling up in her heart. In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, only Shen Liubai would put her feelings first.
Shen Luoxi took a deep breath and looked at him firmly, "Thank you, brother. Even if I have to do this, I can only do it myself."
"Go and talk to the prince about this. How can the prince agree?" Shen Liubai frowned, "The enthronement ceremony is coming soon, and it will be too late if we delay it like this."
"still me……"
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Luoxi interrupted him.
"I have my own plan for this matter. Big brother must not interfere." Shen Luoxi said seriously.
If Shen Liubai interferes, Cang Yunxuan will remember it in her heart, and it will definitely affect Shen Liubai's career in the future. She will never allow such a thing to happen.
"But what can you do? Today, the prince has confirmed the process of the enthronement ceremony with the Ministry of Rites. Except for the clothes you will use for the ceremony, everything is ready." Shen Liubai said.
Shen Luoxi remained silent.
Cang Yunxuan's speed was faster than she thought. She planned to get everything ready and then put it on the shelves.
She thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "I have already thought of a way, brother, don't worry."
When Shen Liubai heard this, he immediately asked, "What can I do?"
Shen Luoxi smiled and said, "The secret must not be revealed."
"Brother should be busy with a lot of things, right? Then I'll leave so as not to delay my official duties."
As she spoke, she turned around and walked out, giving Shen Liubai no chance to stay.
Shen Luoxi strode outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, his mind spinning rapidly.
Although she and Shen Liubai said there was a way, in fact she hadn't thought of a suitable way yet.
To solve this matter, we need a suitable opportunity...
"Luoxi, wait!"
Lu Xiangyun's voice came from behind. Shen Luoxi stopped and turned around to see Lu Xiangyun's slightly hesitant face.
She looked at Lu Xiangyun calmly and said, "Sister-in-law, there is no need for the kitchen to prepare my meal. I will go back right away."
Lu Xiangyun wrung the handkerchief with his hands, and after a moment he spoke as if he had made up his mind, "Luoxi, I have something I want you to help me with."
Shen Luoxi looked at her expression and had already guessed it. She smiled and said, "We are a family. Sister-in-law, that's what she said."
With Shen Luoxi's words, Lu Xiangyun instantly relaxed a lot.
"It's like this. My father is only the seventh-grade county magistrate now, and his official position is really low." She said warmly: "In a few days, you will be the queen. I want you to promote my father..."
"In this way, you will have more help in the palace in the future, which is not a bad thing for you."
She stared at Shen Luoxi closely, for fear of missing her expression, but Shen Luoxi's expression did not change at all, making Lu Xiangyun unsure of what she meant.
"Sister-in-law must have struggled a lot to be able to open her mouth to me." Shen Luoxi smiled, "It's just that I really can't help."
Lu Xiangyun's smile froze, "Why? Isn't this an easy task for you? Since we are a family, aren't you even willing to help with this small favor?"
She looked at Shenluoxi angrily, but she just smiled slightly.
