For the first time in these days, Shengyuan felt what it meant to be physically and mentally exhausted.
On the one hand, letters from girls who were in the same year as her peers were piling up on her desk like catkins. The messages containing complaints, worries, and indignation were all mixed together, and they were burrowed into her mind. Even if she is full of energy, she will still be in trouble.
On the other hand, Anyu, who was staying in Beijing, would go crazy from time to time, and Sheng Yuan almost went crazy.
Unlike Sheng Yuan who was unable to leave the capital due to his responsibilities, Anyu, who originally planned to leave the capital alone, stopped leaving because of the suspected appearance of King Jing's son.
It was true that he was eager to rush to the family garden and support the coffins of Emperor Jinghe and Concubine An, but he did not want to let the throne fall into the hands of other heirs.
"If those two brats are allowed to pick peaches, who will remember my uncle and aunt in the future? In order to fight for legitimacy, the successor may have the idea of inviting Prince Jing to the Ancestral Temple. If he succeeds, will he be able to tolerate my uncle? There's no way I'm going to have to find another way to move my uncle out of the Ancestral Temple!" Anyu pulled his hair and paced back and forth in the study impatiently.
Sheng Yuan didn't expect Anyu to be so knowledgeable!
However, his worries are not unreasonable. Thinking about the famous ritual discussion in her previous life, wasn't it caused by the dispute between orthodoxy?
Thinking of this, Sheng Yuan also made Anyu express his worries.
If Anyu was just talking about it, Shengyuan wouldn't be as big as one.
I don’t know whether he felt uncomfortable because he was “uneasy when leaving the capital and uneasy when he was in the capital”; or because he suffered a huge blow but couldn’t find anyone to fight back, and the torture turned him into an active volcano, ready to erupt at any time. .
Anyway, Shengyuan felt that this guy was a little abnormal.
"What if the courtier holds his breath and chooses those two brats? No! I want to kill them!"
This is an idea that Anyu has been having from time to time lately. He doesn't just say it out loud, he really wants to execute it.
Sheng Yuan had never felt that Anyu was so powerful, and she had to knock him out several times before stopping him.
According to Chengdong's report, this kid also learned to be flirtatious with her and wanted to do things secretly.
If Cheng Dong hadn't secretly held back, there's no telling that he would have simply passed on.
Probably because of the continuous setbacks, Sheng Yuan felt that Anyu's hair seemed to be standing on end.
"The good words have been said, the truth has been explained... I have repeatedly broken down the pros and cons and told you in pieces. Why can't you listen?!" Sheng Yuan felt that she was getting more and more irritable.
She pinched Anyu's shoulders and shook her, and she roared loudly. The guy still looked like he was in a state of indifference, and he really couldn't hold it back. Sheng Yuan clenched his fists, and finally ended the conversation with a head-on blow.
Chengdong looked on: "..."
Silently looking away.
Although I feel sorry for the little Marquis, it is better to be beaten than to lose my life!
Now that there is no unlimited protection from the emperor, the young marquis must learn to live in peace in Chu without the emperor and his concubine.
"Sheng Si Cheng...really want to tie up the little Marquis?" Cheng Dong looked at the little Marquis who was tied into a rice dumpling by Sheng Yuan, feeling a little at a loss.
"Either you tie him up, or I go crazy with him!" Sheng Yuan rubbed her head that was about to explode and snorted angrily.
Chengdong scratched his head angrily. Although he didn't dare to say anything more, he still circled around Shengyuan.
Xiaoyao couldn't see it, and whispered to Shengyuan: "Miss, don't you always say that treating the symptoms is more important than the root cause? It's not a problem for the young marquis! Don't forget, he is also the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto army. ! Just because the court doesn’t use it now doesn’t mean it won’t be used in the future! If it continues like this..."
This is what Sheng Yuan is worried about.
"What's more, there are only those who have been thieves for a thousand years, how can they guard against thieves for a thousand years? If the young prince is really stubborn, he may not be able to escape!" Xiaoyao said, licking his lips towards Chengdong, "Look at them Do the people in the Ancheng Marquis Mansion think they can be cruel enough to treat the young Marquis like this for a long time?"
"I really owe him!" Sheng Yuan let Xiaoyao say so confused that he stamped his feet and had to turn back immediately.
Seeing Sheng Yuan running away, Chengdong hurriedly caught up with Xiaoyao and repeatedly held his hand.
"It's also for my young lady!" Xiaoyao sighed and hurried after her.
…
"Anyu, I'll give you two choices now." Sheng Yuan pushed open the study room and slapped Anyu awake with two slaps. Da Ma Jin Dao sat in front of him, faced his blank gaze, raised her finger and said, "Either Let's break off the engagement. From now on, you can do whatever you want. It's up to you to continue doing it and reunite with the emperor's concubine!
Either you be more sensible and I will find a way to convince the court ministers. As long as someone in the cabinet can listen, as long as the Queen Mother insists, and as long as Princess Yuanning is ambitious, it is still possible to inherit the throne.
Of course, don’t ask me to guarantee that it will be done.
However, I can promise that I will do my best to make it happen. "
I don't know whether it was because the words "break off the engagement" were too irritating, or because Sheng Yuan's tone was different from before. Anyu, who had been going crazy just now, completely sobered up.
"Sister Yuan, I listen to you!"
Chengdong cried for joy when he heard him speak normal words for the first time in these days.
Unfortunately, Sheng Yuan was not moved. He clenched his fists and could not hold back again. He knocked him down with one punch. He said "just wait and see" and walked away.
…
"Miss, do you really have a way to convince the court officials?" Xiaoyao remained skeptical.
My young lady knows very well that if she had a way, she would have used it long ago.
"Take a step and see what happens!" Sheng Yuan sighed and shook his slightly red fist.
Sure enough, power works both ways! It seems that I should use tools next time.
"Ah? You don't have a clue yet?" Xiaoyao exclaimed dumbfounded as he trotted after Sheng Yuan who was striding forward.
Why does she feel like the words "big fool" are flashing on her young lady's head? !
"Where are you going? Miss! Miss! Shouldn't we go back to Dali Temple for work?"
"Chen Sicheng is still on duty. It doesn't matter if we let him take over for a while. Let's go back to the house first!"
Since Sheng Yuan agreed to help Anyu with things, she would definitely work hard to get it done, even if she didn't fully explain it to Anyu.
Speak only three words and use all your energy is her code of conduct.
…
"Don't talk about your father!" Mrs. Zheng heard her youngest daughter ask about her husband's recent reaction, and she was also two older than the other. "He seems to be fine in front of others, but behind the scenes, he often talks nonsense." Cry!
It looked fine before, and I thought he would recover slowly. Who would have thought that ever since King Jing's son appeared, he has been restless.
Especially yesterday, he said a lot of incomprehensible things to me! I just figured it out today, I'm afraid he is going to have a hard time with the cabinet ministers at the court meeting.
It would be fine if the throne falls on Princess Yuanning in the end, but if Prince Jing's son takes the throne, I'm afraid she will be liquidated. "When Mrs. Zheng said this, her mood was very calm, as if she had looked away.
Sheng Yuan had already guessed that her father would make this choice, but she didn't expect that her mother would not object.
"Your father and the Emperor have grown up together since childhood. Their friendship is extraordinary. Not to mention, the Queen Mother has cared for her as if she were her own child for decades."
Mrs. Zheng looked out the window calmly: "People, you must have a conscience and know how to repay."
Having said this, she smiled helplessly at her youngest daughter: "The debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay!"
Sheng Yuan rubbed his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Okay, now that her father is ready to offend King Jing's son, she doesn't have to look forward or backward.
Just do the math and get started!
let's go!
…
As soon as the sedan chair of Yan Yuan, the first assistant, entered the mansion, a steward came to report that the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Sheng Si, had come to pay a visit and was waiting in the living room at the moment.
"Master Sheng Si of Dali Temple?" Yan Yuan heard this and didn't react for a moment. Fortunately, the surname Sheng was a bit special, and he quickly realized who had come to his door.
Their Da Chu, the sixth-ranked female champion, was very proud. It seemed that she was rarely seen taking the initiative to visit the homes of cabinet ministers!
"It's a rare visitor!" Yan Yuan smiled and stroked his elegant beard.
Sheng Si Cheng of Dali Temple, the youngest daughter of Yongxing Marquis, the Empress Dowager Qin’s most beloved grandson, and the niece that Emperor Jinghe valued very much... She came to the door of his Yanfu at this juncture, and it didn’t take much thinking to know that she was Why come.
"Interesting." Yan Yuan shook his head and told the steward with a smile, "I will go change clothes first. After half a cup of tea, you will bring him to the study."
"Here."
…
"Yan Shoufu, I'm sorry for your inconsiderate words, but you are in trouble. If you are not careful, you will lose everything!"
Yan Yuan's kind smile gradually disappeared.
He didn't expect that he enthusiastically prepared tea and water to entertain the Shengsi Cheng, but when they met, the other party gave him a slap in the face without saying a word!
Yan Yuan felt that he was really generous in not kicking the person out on the spot.
