Zhong Niangzi Wanfu

Chapter 90: Your Majesty has noticed Xianggong Shen’s temperament and wants to reuse Xianggong Shen.

"Why?" Zhang Yan was not surprised, with a smile in his eyes, "Is it still because of the reason for being in Qianming Village?"

"Yes and no. I have been an official for several years, and after many ups and downs, I feel powerless." Shen Feng said frankly.

"After what happened to the You family, I really understand what it means for officials to protect each other, and I despise the intrigues in the officialdom. However, there are pros and cons, the moon is cloudy and clear, and the water is clear, there are no fish. My original intention is not practical, and I have no ability to do it. Let the whole Beizhao do what they want."

Shen Feng sighed: "Now Beizhao will usher in a prosperous age, and there are many capable people. If there are too many Shen Feng, there will not be many of them, and if there are few of Shen Feng, there will be too many. Please let me go, and I also advise Your Majesty to let me go."

Zhang Yan and Wen Yi were speechless upon hearing this.

After a long while, Zhang Yan stood up: "Have you made up your mind? Have you asked your Lady Zhong what she means?"

Shen Feng nodded slightly: "I have made up my mind and discussed it with her."

"Since Mr. Shen is determined, I won't persuade him anymore." Zhang Yan turned around and walked out with a faint smile.

Wen Yi, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up: "Have you forgotten the promise we made to the royal capital?"

He said anxiously: "Brother Zhang broke the promise, are you going to break the promise too?"

"Sorry." Shen Feng lowered his eyes and did not look at Wen Yi. "Fortunately, Taiming is not far from Yong'an. When you rest, we can still reminisce about old times and travel."

"Who wants to go on a trip with you to reminisce about old times?" Wen Yi hates the fact that steel cannot be made into steel.

"Okay." Zhang Yan called Wen Yi outside the door, who was about to make a move, "Let's go."

Hearing Zhang Yan's voice, Wen Yi had no choice but to glare at Shen Feng fiercely, then turned and left without saying anything.

After returning to the royal capital, Zhang Yan went to Zihe Palace to plead guilty to Qi Cheng.

"Did he really say that?" Qi Cheng asked, and when Zhang Yan nodded in response, his brows furrowed more and more.

"When it came to the You family, I betrayed him to save face. In the past three years, I have tried hard to protect the Shen family, and he just wants to let it go?" Qi Cheng said with a little anger.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Everyone bowed.

"I beg you, Your Majesty, not to force Mr. Shen too hard," Zhang Yan said.

"Your Majesty is interested in Xianggong Shen's innocent heart. However, he has experienced the death of his father and found out the dirty things behind the You family. It is inevitable that he will have mixed emotions for a while that are difficult to describe."

Qi Cheng calmed down: "Go on."

"But from my perspective, Mr. Shen is a humble man. He has been influenced by saints since he was a child. Now he is just temporarily frustrated in officialdom. Your Majesty still leaves some leeway for Mr. Shen. When Mr. Shen figures it out for himself, he will naturally respond to the edict."

Qi Cheng pursed his lips and said nothing, then relaxed for a long time: "Then I'll do as you say. I'll give him some room and let him think about it."

"Your Majesty, you are wise." Zhang Yan bowed and left.

"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you." Wang Shan came in to report.

"Pass." Qi Cheng's brows relaxed and his eyes softened.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty, and ask His Majesty for your holy bow, Jin'an." Xu Songqing entered the door dressed in rich clothes and knelt down to salute.

"I bow to you, please forgive me." Qi Cheng stood up from the throne and stepped forward to help Xu Songqing.

Unexpectedly, Xu Songqing did not stand up, but only raised his head to meet Qi Cheng's eyes: "I have something to ask your Majesty. I would like to ask, is it true that Your Majesty issued an edict to adopt Jun Pingjun's son to my knees and make him a prince? ?"

Qi Cheng smiled: "Yes, in a few days the prince Minping Jun will also be sent to the royal capital. Then you can have a taste of what it's like to be a mother."

"The concubine is unwilling." Xu Songqing shook her head stubbornly.

The smile on Qi Cheng's face faded slightly: "Songqing, this is to contain Lord Minping and the Duan family. I have no choice but to do it. And I don't want the child to sit on the throne of the prince, but to prepare for the west." Liang's side is in need. When you give birth to a child in the future, I will naturally leave the country to our child. "

"I understand, so I don't want to." Xu Songqing had a sullen look on his face. "Your Majesty, that child is a person, not an object! I heard that Mrs. Minping died after giving birth to the child because she was too worried about the adoption. You have already killed someone!"

Seeing Xu Songqing's behavior, Qi Cheng calmed down slightly and stood with his hands behind his back: "I am not a foolish king. I have given Duan a royal concubine to be buried with, and I have also given him a thousand taels of gold to accompany him. When the child comes, I will also be with you. Raise him well and give him the glory and wealth I can give him."

"Song Qing, it is embarrassing for me to do this, but it is entirely for the continuation of Beizhao Sheji."

"I beg your majesty to return the prince Minping Jun. The grudges of the previous generation should not be inflicted on the innocent baby!" Xu Songqing said stubbornly.

"Qing Song, I can't promise you." Qi Cheng shook his head, "Wang Shan, please send the queen back."

Wang Shan was embarrassed and stepped forward: "Queen, please come back."

Seeing that there was no room for maneuver in Qi Cheng's decision, Xu Songqing raised his head and glanced at Qi Cheng, his eyes full of pain and chill: "A Cheng, if you continue like this, one day you will suffer the consequences. Don't regret it then."

"I will not regret it. Even if I suffer the consequences, as long as Emperor Beizhao's career lasts forever, I will accept it!" Qi Cheng retorted, waving to Xu Songqing, "Queen, you should go back."

"My concubine, please leave." Xu Songqing saluted to Qi Cheng absentmindedly, then turned and left.

Three months passed after Xu Songqing's incident, and Qi Cheng lost his patience and ordered Wang Shan to go to Taiming in person to deliver an ultimatum to Shen Jie.

"According to what the angel said, does your Majesty mean that if I refuse to obey the edict, will I be threatened with what happened to the You family?" Shen Feng asked with a smile.

Wang Shan nodded and said with embarrassment and worry: "Now I have seen Mr. Shen's temperament and want to reuse Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is a kind, humble and sensible person, so he must understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."

"We would like to advise Mr. Shen not to disobey your Majesty anymore. Mr. Shen cannot bear the wrath of thunder and lightning as he is the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan."

"Thank you Angel for your kindness. I understand." Shen Feng nodded, "But I still don't want to. Thank you Angel for reporting me. If Shen Feng's life can extinguish the anger of me, I can come and get him."

Seeing that Shen Feng was serious, Wang Shan was even more embarrassed: "Ms. Shen is making things difficult for our family."

"Angel, forgive me." Shen Feng refused to accept any hard words.

Wang Shan could only find his way down the steps: "Fortunately, our family is given ample time today, so we will stay in Taiming for a few days. If Mr. Shen changes his mind, he will send someone to inform our family that our family will I will report this to you at the meeting."

"There is a wing in the mansion, where angels can stay." Shen Feng sent Wang Shan out according to the ceremony and ordered Jiang Chuan to lead him to the wing.

While walking on the road, Wang Shan suddenly remembered something and grabbed Jiang Chuan: "Brother, our family wants to meet your Lady Zhong."

"Our eldest lady?" Jiang Chuan was confused for a moment.

Seeing that Jiang Chuan was puzzled, Wang Shan simply put on his airs and said: "We are the internal officials who are delivering the letter for today, and our status is as high as your Majesty's coming in person. Brother, do you also want to ask about our ideas?"

Jiang Chuan was frightened by Wang Shan and quickly led Wang Shan to Zhonglan's yard.

"The angel next to Wangdu Jinshang?" Zhong Lan had just put Ah Nian to sleep in the inner room. When he heard Chang Huan's report, he hurriedly changed his clothes and went out.

"I'm here, Mrs. Zhong, to pay my respects to the angel of the capital." Zhong Lan stepped forward and saluted.

"Mrs. Zhong, please get up." Wang Shan helped Zhong Lan up, screened everyone away, and told her everything about Shen Feng.

"So the angel means to ask me to persuade my officials?" Zhong Lan asked strangely after hearing this.

Seeing no one around, Wang Shan sighed and said, "Our family knows that Mrs. Zhong is a real person. Before our family came to Taiming, we went to visit Master Zhang. Master Zhang said that if Mr. Shen still doesn't change his mind, , so I came to ask Madam Zhong for help."

"Now that your Majesty is angry about this matter, there is no need to sacrifice the entire Shen family for the sake of Mr. Shen's anger." Wang Shan advised, "What's more, Mr. Shen is already very talented, and it is a pity to be confined to a small place on the border of Taiming. Madam Zhong Say so?"

"I understand what the angel means," Zhong Lan said thoughtfully, "I will try my best, but my officials have to come and get the idea."

Wang Shan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then there is Lady Lao Zhong."
