Red apricots make spring

Chapter 132 Expedient measures
Shen Yuan has always admired Lu Ce in his heart, and of course he wanted to betroth his beloved daughter to him, but he had no choice but to test many times, and Lu Ce never answered his words, let alone showed any intention of marrying Shen Mengyi, so today Although Lu Ce's confession in front of the imperial court somewhat hit him and made him worry that his daughter would not accept it after hearing it, he didn't feel much resentment towards Lu Ce. Seeing that he was so determined not to be rewarded by Xie Zhengrui at this moment, he became cold again. After the scene, he spoke for him instead.

"Speaking of which, Nephew Lu Xian really doesn't have much financial resources to maintain such a big mansion! When he left home, he planned to rent a small house in the city, but I still invited you repeatedly, and even put down words, if he didn't move to The minister came to live here, but he looked down on the minister, so he moved here. This year, the minister watched coldly, and he was very frugal in food and clothing, so he took care of his daughter more. In my opinion, the Holy Majesty might as well give another smaller one. Give him the house."

With these words, he not only defended Lu Ce, eased the cold atmosphere, but also defended Shen Mengyi's reputation as a boudoir. He really deserved to have been in the officialdom for many years, and he has developed a sophistication.Xie Zhengrui thought to himself, and said with a smile on his face, "Aiqing, don't be fooled by this little fox, Lu Ce! He has no money? I'll tell you the truth, he is a rich man!"

"This...how do you say this...I don't understand." Shen Yuan was surprised, he really didn't understand.

"Ask him yourself, why doesn't he meddle in all kinds of business in the capital? There is a lot of income every month. Even if I deduct his salary for ten years, the Lu family will not give him a dime. He won't starve to death!" Xie Zhengrui looked at Lu Ce with a smile and said, "Is what I said right?"

He knows all of this!I really can't figure out that those hidden guards in the Ouchi have nothing to do all day long, and they are all investigating such nonsense!Although Lu Ce was annoyed in his heart, there was a faint smile on his face, and he said perfunctorily, "Your Majesty is wise."

Rourou had already been left aside and ignored, she was a little bit dumbfounded, and wanted to reject this inhuman arrangement on the spot, but in this way, wouldn't it be another crime of deceiving the emperor to expose Lu Ce's words just now?I was thinking wildly, not knowing what to do, and finally gritted my teeth and endured it!Anyway, if there is a policy, she will come here and have a countermeasure. Lu Ce doesn't seem like a sex maniac. Besides, he may not like her, so he won't come to a bully to force his bow. It's better to perfunctory the emperor in front of him. , Let's think about the next strategy, so I endured and endured, and finally didn't make a sound.

"Okay, that's the deal." Xie Zhengrui stood up and said with a smile, "I've been nagging Aiqing all night, and I should go back to the palace. I have to go to court tomorrow morning! But tonight, I'd rather Teach Aiqing to take care and prepare a place for them to consummate the house."

"It should be, it should be..." Shen Yuan was startled by the gossip leaked by Xie Zhengrui, the corners of his mouth twitched twice before he smiled and said, "I dare not force the Holy Majesty to stay, but I would like to invite the Ninth Prince to sit down for a while longer." , drink two cups."

Xie Tianhao thanked Shen Yuan for his kindness, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, my nephew should go back earlier, and besides, the father came out in disguise, and there are not many people around him, so my nephew is worried, so I have to send my father to you first." Go back to the palace and come back to bother me later!"

Travel in microservices?Rourou glanced at the pair of bright yellow satin boots out of the corner of her eyes, and thought very unkindly: Do they know what micro-service is?Think plain clothes are called Weifu?He also brought a group of court ladies and eunuchs with him, dressed in the emperor's clothes. If so, it would be strange that no one would recognize him as an emperor.

This farewell is lively, and the noble concubine and Mrs. Shen are holding hands and talking, Shen Yuan's concubines are surrounded by concubines, Shen Mengyi and her maids follow behind, with her face down, unable to see clearly , but it seems that the mood is really not very good.

Wen Wen was in a worse mood than her, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She just knelt down with others and said: "Respectfully send off the Holy Majesty, the Imperial Concubine and the Ninth Prince." Then she stood up again, and a large group of people rushed up , sent the emperor and the imperial concubine to the shore of the lake, where there were three sedan chairs prepared in advance, the emperor waved his hand imposingly before getting on the sedan chair, and said: "Ai Qing, stay here, let's rest early!"

A large group of people from the Shen residence knelt down again with Shen Yuanhulala, watching the emperor, the noble concubine and the nine princes get on the sedan chair. The maids and eunuchs surrounded the sedan chair and followed, preparing to transfer to the carriage at the gate of the residence.

Finally, it's over——

Seeing that the sedan chair was lifted far away, all the kneeling people stood up, Wen Rou also got up, but she has been standing here for a whole day, before kneeling and standing, her legs were already sore and numb, after another shock, she was full of worries , After he breathed a sigh of relief, his legs softened, and he sat back on the ground without standing still.

What a bad luck!

Depressed in her heart, Rourou was about to stand up with her hands on the ground, anyway, her whole body was already filthy, and she would definitely have to take a shower when she went back, but at this moment, a hand was stretched out in front of her.

The hand is slender and well-proportioned, the nails are rounded, and the most important thing is that it is very clean, and this hand is not as soft and delicate as she thought, and there is a thin callus on it. Judging from the location of the callus, it should be from practicing swords all year round. Grind it out...

"Why, don't you want to wake up?" Lu Ce slightly raised his eyebrows.

Only then did Rourou realize that she was distracted again, she hurriedly grabbed his hand, stood up with strength, lowered her head and patted the dusty skirt, and whispered: "I have something to tell you."

"Let's take a while." As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuan finished talking to the two officials who accompanied the banquet, and then walked over to him and cupped his hands and said, "Nephew Lu Xian, congratulations, Your Majesty personally bestowed upon you Concubine, the old man didn't realize that you and Miss Wen are lovers."

As soon as he said this, the expressions of Shen Mengan, Shen Mengyi and Wen Wen all became ugly, but fortunately they could not be seen clearly under the light and could still be concealed.

Lu Ce smiled slightly and said, "Secret uncle, don't say that, my nephew can't afford it."

"Father, don't you really want him to take a concubine tonight? What about the younger sister?" Shen Mengan couldn't hold back anymore, he felt that no matter how he looked at it, Lu Ce and Wenrou didn't look like adultery!Most of the previous incidents were perfunctory to the emperor, so is it necessary to play the whole show?
Just now, his performance at the banquet had already made Shen Yuan very angry, and now Shen Mengyi was mentioned in his words, which was even more inappropriate. Shen Mengyi's face turned pale with anger, and when he wanted to scold, he had to worry about his identity and demeanor , I really couldn't swear, so I had to stomp my feet bitterly, turned around and left.

Shen Yuan gasped, thinking how could he raise such a pig-headed son?Not to mention that now that Lu Ce has made it clear that he has no personal affair with his daughter, there is, the emperor has spoken, can he not accept this concubine?What's more, he is only a concubine, not a regular wife. The children of the official family, except for Princess Shang, who doesn't have three wives and four concubines?There is nothing wrong with Shen Mengyi remarrying at that time, why should he be so eager and anxious?After much deliberation, I'm afraid it was he himself who wanted to accept the woman surnamed Wen!I didn't realize that this woman had such great tricks to seduce Lu Ce and his son into a state of fascination!
For a while, Shen Yuan had several thoughts in his mind. He wanted to reprimand Shen Meng'an on the spot, but felt ashamed of himself. Finally, he sneered for a while, and shouted: "Sinister! What's the matter with you here? Why don't you go back quickly?" Go to the room and think about it behind closed doors!"

"I said something wrong, I have to think about it behind closed doors..." Shen Mengan muttered, she was a little bit unconvinced, but seeing that his father was so angry that his beard was about to stand up, he didn't dare to say any more, and was finally dragged by Mrs. Shen forcibly gone.

Shen Yuan took a few deep breaths, finally controlled the anger that was about to burst out, and sighed to Lu Ce: "Look at my son, alas, I made you laugh again."

"Meng'an is just outspoken and outspoken." Lu Ce lowered his eyes.

"Oh——" Shen Yuan sighed again: "Don't talk about this, look, where do you live tonight? Is it the Yunshuixuan where you lived before? I will send someone to clean it up immediately. This matter It came out suddenly, I really didn't prepare for it, if there is any brevity, nephew Lu Xian will forgive me a lot!"

"No... no need, I want to go home..." Rourou finally found a chance to intervene, no matter how inappropriate it was, if she didn't say it, she would be sent to the bridal chamber in a while, so it would be better to let her die Forget it.

"How can this be done? The Holy Majesty's will..." Lu Ce took Shen Yuan's words halfway, and said, "She is shy, sir, don't mind. I think we should live in Yunshuixuan, but It's already midnight, and there's no need to bother to clean it up, I'll just take her there, Shibo, you should go to rest earlier." Then, he glanced at him and asked softly, "Is it going to be overnight?"

Gentle frowning, the words have come to this point, Lu Ce has the intention of persuading her to endure, can she continue to be tough?Besides, if the matter is broken, it will not be good for her to be accused of deceiving the emperor, so she can only grit her teeth and say, "Okay, but I still have a companion, Mr. Shen can send someone to bring her here, let me talk to her Two sentences?"

Shen Yuan nodded, and told the servant next to him to lead him to Yunshuixuan, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, and she shouldn't go back. When you finish talking later, let her sit quietly It’s good to stay in Biguan for one night.”

"Secretary, don't worry." Lu Ce thanked him.

"Those two rest early, I won't bother you." Shen Yuan laughed, turned and left with the people.
