However, what I didn't expect was that the emperor immediately closed the list and said, "From today on, no one is allowed to interfere in Shen Yunjue's marriage."
The queen looked shocked and asked tentatively: "Does your Majesty mean that it doesn't matter who General Shen wants to marry?"
"Do you want me to say it again?" The emperor showed displeasure.
"I must remember the emperor's words." The queen immediately agreed, fearing that the emperor Long Yan would be angry.
The emperor glanced at the queen and said with a cold tone, "I and the King of War still have important matters to discuss. Please step aside first."
After the queen left, the emperor mentioned it to Xiao Jingzhi, "You are right. If I interfere too much, I will lose the support of the people."
After Lin Jinran and Tang Mingzhang decided to have a private life, the emperor still had doubts about the matter.
But later Xiao Jingzhi enlightened him that the more he took care of some things, the more accidents and mistakes would occur, and he should trust the loyalty of the General's Mansion.
What's more, Shen Yunjue doesn't care about his marriage now.
If it comes to a time when it is truly unavoidable, it will not be too late for him to take action.
"It's the Emperor's brother who is transparent."
Xiao Jingzhi knew very well what the emperor was worried about, so he used these to enlighten him.
Now that the emperor can give up interfering in Shen Yunjue's marriage, Shen Yunshu will no longer worry about it.
But the queen who returned to Fengyi Palace was very angry.
She couldn't understand why the emperor changed his mind in such a short period of time.
"Did the King of War say something to the Emperor?" Aunt Xin had some guesses. After all, the person the Emperor trusted the most was Xiao Jingzhi.
Apart from Xiao Jingzhi, there is no one else who can make the emperor change his mind.
"Xiao Jingzhi?" The queen shook her head, "He will not forget his oath!"
Xiao Jingzhi once promised her that she would always support the prince.
"Even though the empress cannot intervene in the Major General's marriage, there is still a chance to intervene in Miss Shen's marriage." Grandma Xin suggested.
The queen's eyes turned, "Do you mean to make her the crown prince's concubine?"
If Shen Yunshu becomes the crown prince's concubine, the power of the General's Palace will definitely be in the hands of the crown prince.
Although she thought so, she quickly gave up the idea, "The prince will not allow it."
What's more, she had promised the prince that she would not touch Shen Yunshu for the time being.
"Your Majesty, this is a kind intention, and it is an honor for Miss Shen. I believe the prince will not say anything."
After hearing this, the queen thought about it carefully. Now the imperial concubine also wants Shen Yunshu to marry the third prince, but now Shen Yunjue has no way to do it.
If she really doesn't do something, the power of the General's Palace will definitely become the help of the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince.
"Let me think carefully."
After what happened to Shen Yunjue, she could no longer make decisions easily. She had to be cautious and careful to make sure nothing went wrong.
At the same time, Zeng Shangshu also heard that the imperial concubine went to ask the emperor for instructions on granting a marriage to the third prince, and then hurried to Shucui Hall.
"Chen Yunshu's palace is extremely deep, and he will turn into a poisonous snake around him if he is not careful." Zeng Shangshu retorted directly.
The imperial concubine believed that Zeng Shangshu's remarks were prejudice against Shen Yunshu because of Zeng Fengwu's death.
But she didn't say it so directly, which hurt Zeng Shangshu's heart.
"I underestimated her before, but if she becomes You'er's concubine, she will definitely have plans for You'er. Besides, I didn't catch her before, so I might not be able to do that in the future."
Even if Shen Yunshu turns into a poisonous snake, there will always be a day when she can tame him.
Zeng Shangshu only felt that the imperial concubine was too naive when she said these words.
"In short, I will not agree to the third prince marrying Shen Yunshu as his concubine."
He knew that since the imperial concubine had this intention, she would not change her mind so easily.
The imperial concubine felt that Zeng Shangshu was complaining about his daughter, "Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now. What are you going to do about He Shangshu's matter?"
"Don't worry, this case can't be traced to me." After all, what caused Xu Xianzhong's tragic death in the first place, he could only be regarded as a knife-handler at best, and no matter how much investigation was done, no trace could be traced to him.
"I heard that you have already recommended Langzhong Cao to the emperor as the new minister?"
Cao Langzhong was also trained by Zeng Shangshu in the Ministry of Household Affairs, in order to prevent one person from making mistakes and other people to take over.
In addition, it can also play a good role in mutual supervision.
Zeng Shangshu calmed down and said, "Now only Langzhong Cao is the most suitable candidate. Even if I come to the queen, I can't find anyone better than Langzhong Cao."
The imperial concubine's face darkened, "So you can take this opportunity to arrange for Prince Qi to work in the household department?"
"The King of Qi is already on our side. Although we have the support of troops, we still need more people in the DPRK."
Zeng Shangshu believed that Song Xiuche should be allowed to make certain contributions if he were to succeed.
"My brother has always arranged matters in the court, and it is not convenient for me to interfere. But regarding You'er's marriage, can my brother also let me make the decision?"
After all, the imperial concubine still wanted to persuade Zeng Shangshu to let Xiao Linyou marry Shen Yunshu.
But Zeng Shangshu was still very firm in his thoughts, "I have a more suitable candidate for the third prince's marriage, so Shen Yunshu, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."
In the end, the imperial concubine and Zeng Shangshu broke up on bad terms.
On Chen Yunshu's side, he just saw Mr. Liu coming out.
"Do you think I should accept my grandfather's advice and take over the business?"
Shen Yunshu couldn't help but ask Chunrou, because she couldn't make up her mind either.
It stands to reason that her grandfather is old and has no more thoughts to take over the business. As his granddaughter, she should help him share his worries.
But she just felt that her abilities were limited and she couldn't be as good as her grandfather.
"Miss, you are afraid of disappointing Mr. Liu." Chunrou immediately revealed what Shen Yunshu was most concerned about.
Shen Yunshu is now focused on revenge. As for other things, she is afraid that she will not be able to do it wholeheartedly.
"But I think the young lady wants to help Mr. Liu share the burden." Chunrou knew that her young lady was filial and didn't want Mr. Liu to give up the business he had built for so many years.
Shen Yunshu said gently: "Are you the tapeworm in my heart? You know everything."
"Does the young lady want to see Uncle An?"
If Shen Yunshu went to see Uncle An who had just arrived from Huijing after inquiring about the shop today, it would mean that Shen Yunshu had agreed to take over Liu's business.
"Let's go."
In her previous life, it was her ignorance that caused Liu's business to go bankrupt due to someone's scheme, so she should be responsible and it was her duty to take over the business.
After meeting Uncle An, she realized that the business had been seriously threatened, and someone in the court was trying to make profits from this.
But because he was afraid that Liu Gong would not be able to bear it if he found out about it, Uncle An never said anything about it.
After Shen Yunshu continued after thinking deeply, he asked Uncle An: "It seems that someone has a different heart. Is there anyone who has doubts in Uncle An's heart?"
"People do, but there is no evidence." After all, Uncle An has been with Liu Gong for so many years, and he understands and is more sensitive than anyone about business matters.
From Uncle An's description, the name Wei Yuan sounded familiar to Shen Yunshu, as if he had heard it somewhere.
Not only that, according to Uncle An, this person should be using her name to make deals.
