Bondage

Relying on Song Wan's suggestion, coupled with the information collected by Dongchang, Shen Qianyu can be said to be like a tiger with wings added to the water in the court these few days.

The methods of women in the back house are different from Dongchang, they pay more attention to tactful and gentle pictures.

Although there is Wan Xiao by his side, he can still use Dongchang as a weapon in his hands, but it is okay to let the people of Dongchang intimidate and lure them to loot their homes, and it will only be counterproductive to use it to win over courtiers.

Now he can let go of his figure and is used to acting, whether he is supporting a senior minister with a low official position when he is in court today, or he will occasionally send a casually mentioned snack to someone's house tomorrow when he is in court.

Moreover, the people Shen Qianyu took the initiative to make friends with were never famous and high-ranking ministers, but most of them were officials of the fourth or fifth rank or even lower ranks.

Even if he met the eunuch in charge of refreshments in Hou Chao's Zhifang, he still looked gentle and tolerant.

Wan Xiao had personally seen him give the stove in his hand to a lowly eunuch, and when the little eunuch looked at Shen Qianyu, who was wearing the crown prince's crown, he was as pious as if he had seen a god descending to earth.

In the East Palace, Wan Xiao looked at Shen Qianyu, who was becoming more and more majestic as the emperor, and sincerely praised: "Your Highness's pretending skills are getting more and more proficient."

Shen Qianyu sneered: "What do you know?"

Song Wan taught him that a gentleman should be harmonious but not aloof, which is really wonderful.

Wan Xiao pursed her lips, thinking that he doesn't understand his master more and more now.

Unwilling to suffer that inexplicable reprimand again, Wan Xiao said: "Why didn't the master directly win over those important ministers?"

"What am I going to do with them?"

Shen Qianyu's eyes showed complacency: "They are used to being complimented by others, but now the more I look up to them, the more they feel that I need their support, so I lost my initiative and fell to the bottom."

"And what they can do is limited, and most of them are left to the subordinates?"

"Isn't it better for me to skip this group of things now and let the people who actually do things directly use it for me?"

"and……"

Shen Qianyu snorted coldly: "The more I ignore you, the more anxious they will be. When the crown prince's virtuous name is known to the world, they will turn around and coax me."

This is similar to what Song Wan said about how to play and how to play.

Playing the Emerald No Matter card in his hand, Shen Qianyu was inexplicably impetuous on the face and in the heart.

"So you have nothing to do today? What are you doing in the East Palace?"

Wan Xiao's eyelids twitched, knowing that he was about to suffer again.

"This subordinate is here to inform His Highness that Concubine Yun has already taken action."

Shen Qianyu waved his hand: "I've been waiting for today."

With a slight bend of his fingertips, he flicked the "nothing happened" card into the box, stood up and strode out.

The crown prince of the Eastern Palace came directly to him without paying his respects, which made Song Lan'an a little confused.It's not that he couldn't see the tricks Shen Qianyu played in the previous dynasty, but he had to admit that the prince played hard to get to the top of his head.

That day he bowed to himself in public, but then repeatedly rejected the invitation he asked Song Fu to deliver, and now when he was about to put pressure on the prince, this person swaggered directly to the door.

Song Lan'an sat in the study, thought for a while and let out a laugh: "It's a character."

After speaking, he asked his servants to find Song Fu and come back, while he went out to greet him.

"Meet Your Royal Highness."

"Sir Song, there is no need to be polite."

Shen Qianyu was wearing a plain straight gown, and helped Song Lan'an up with a smile on his face.

In his left hand he held four refreshments from a long-established store in Shangjing and a special smoked goose from Cuiweilou, while in his right hand he held two jars of wine.

Song Lan'an saw it, and couldn't help but smile.

The prince is really interesting, even if he sees this scene, he can't hide his good feelings.

Shen Qianyu looked at Song Lan'an with a smile in his eyes.

The combination of truth and falsehood is the right way.

If you just blindly be a real gentleman, you will be defeated by the villain's cunning tricks. Only by keeping the gentleman's heart, but using the villain's method to return the villain, can you get twice the result with half the effort.

"The East Palace has been busy these days, so it is really rude of me not to come to see Mr. Song. Today I am here to apologize to Mr. Song."

"His Royal Highness is too serious, the old minister can't afford it."

"You are worthy of it. I have contributed a lot to being able to have Mr. Song today."

Stretching out his hand, Shen Qianyu said: "I have brought wine and meat, Master Song, can you show me your face?"

Song Lan'an laughed, and greeted Shen Qianyu into the guest room of the Song Mansion.

As he was walking towards the wing, Song Lan'an smiled secretly behind him and shook his head.

I really didn't expect that he was also a sycophant.

"I would like to take this glass of wine to thank Mr. Song for his kindness."

"I can't be an old minister."

The prince's eyes were too sincere, which made Song Lan'an feel a little guilty.When he was about to hold the prince's wine glass, Shen Qianyu said: "Master Song, there is no need to worry, this palace has never taken your desire to support the fifth prince to heart."

He spoke sincerely, but Song Lan'an smiled embarrassingly.

If he really doesn't care about it, what is he talking about today?

In the past, he was used to speaking with people in the court, but when he heard the prince's straightforward words, he felt quite uncomfortable.

"Sir Song, don't worry too much, I really don't care about it."

Song Lan'an looked up at Shen Qianyu, and pushed the goose leg in front of him after a while.

Shen Qianyu followed kindness like a stream, picked it up and put it in his mouth.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here today, but is there something you need to look for?"

"There is indeed something."

Song Lan'an's expression was slightly positive, and after a long time of pleasantries, he finally talked about the business.

"Please advise, Your Highness."

"I can't talk about advice, but I have something to ask for."

"Oh?"

Song Lan'an straightened up: "The old minister can't live up to a word of begging, Your Highness has beaten the old minister."

Even so, when he finished speaking, he picked up the wine cup on the table and took a sip.

Shen Qianyu sighed slightly: "I am here for Song Wan, the eldest daughter of the mansion."

With a bang, the wine cup in Song Lan'an's hand fell on the table.

Shen Qianyu saw his brow furrowed for an instant, and his face quickly sank, fearing that he didn't know where he was going.

"I don't know what is the relationship between the little girl and His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Shen Qianyu said: "A few days ago, Ji Rong, the servant next to me, met Miss Song's family, and she was the one who met Song Fu for me."

"Speaking of which, Miss Song's family and Mr. Song are the Bole of this palace. Without them, this palace would not be able to drink with Mr. Song here today."

"I came here today because Chengyanghou's mansion is too miserable, and I don't want Miss Song to return to the pit of fire."

"Prince Xie cares about my daughter, and this minister also has this intention."

Song Lan'an's face was relaxed, and he smiled faintly.

Originally, he was afraid that he would fall on both sides again, so Fang found such an excuse that he thought that Song Wanyu had something to do with the prince in his boudoir.

If so, she really can't stay.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the old minister has already sent the handwritten letter of my daughter's separation from Cheng Yanghou Yijue to Li Jia, and my daughter's yellow book and household registration have also moved back to my Song Mansion half a month ago."

Shen Qianyu laughed and nodded: "Lord Song is indeed a loving father, which is admirable."
