Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me
Chapter 147 1 Opening, full of backers
Murong Xuan slammed the table and said, "Possessed by a demon! This description is really appropriate!"
Shen Xiyue weighed the wine pot slowly and poured the last bit of peach wine to herself: "Now that you have found out, how do you plan to operate it?"
Murong Xuan was not in a hurry:
"There have been too many things to do recently. The new branch you mentioned today is not urgent. Since we need to use the Wan Xiu Ze you mentioned, it is time for the palace selection. As for the present, the Lu Ming Banquet is the first time we co-host it. I am afraid that the slick old guys in the Ministry of Rites will be a bit difficult to deal with... Ran Luoguo and I have discussed it and just asked them to keep an eye on the fourth brother first."
"If you have an idea, go ahead and do it. Leave the Luming Feast to me." Shen Xiyue raised her lips and drank the last bit of Fugen in the cup. "The Minister of Rites Liao Guangyuan is the eldest grandson of Master Liao and has been the companion of Prince Yao since childhood... I am not afraid of this kind of scholar who likes to follow the rules."
Murong Xuan looked at Xiyue patting her chest and making promises, and finally couldn't help but laughed with his head tilted back.
His Xiyue, his wife, supports and trusts him, and he is completely at ease with her back to him.
"Then let's do as you say and divide the work." Murong Xuan stretched out his slender fingers to hold her hand, wrapped it in his palm, and placed it on his chest so that she could feel his heartbeat.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were soaked in moonlight, and the corners of her lips were always slightly raised under her straight nose, making people feel that nothing could hold her back. The scent of peach blossom wine lingered in the flower hall. Murong Xuan swallowed his saliva, reached out his other hand to touch the back of her neck, and leaned over to kiss her.
In the distance, a faint rooster crowed. Murong Xuan paused, as if awakened by a startle: "Ah, the rooster is crowing, it's the third watch."
Shen Xiyue smiled, slowly stood up, pulled her hand out of his arms, stretched lazily, and told him: "Your Highness, please go back soon. I will send my father and mother off the next morning and then go back to the mansion."
"Okay." Murong Xuan stood up with bright eyes: "I'll watch you leave, then I'll go back."
Shen Xiyue couldn't do anything about him, so she had to turn around, go down the stairs, yawned, and slowly went back.
......
The next morning, Shen Xiyue was awakened by the sound of people practicing martial arts in the yard.
When she listened carefully, she realized that it was her parents who were practicing some exercises to strengthen their bodies.
She blinked her misty eyes, and hurriedly called Shuangye to help her get up, and then rushed out after washing up.
Shen Xiyue smiled and posed, and said coquettishly: "Dad, Mom, you practice it again, let's practice together."
Lord Shen and Madam Shen naturally obeyed her in everything.
Shen Xiyue followed the exercises meticulously and felt that the more she moved, the more energetic she became. In the past few months living with her parents, she would move with them every day and felt that her arms and legs were more useful than before.
With motivation, you can do more.
After the practice, Shen Xiyue asked Shuangye to help her wash and dress up, and then went to the Ministry of Rites with high morale.
The emperor issued an edict, asking the prince and his wife to co-organize the Lu Ming Banquet. The original intention was to have the prince show up at the banquet and get closer to the new scholars, but Liao Guangyuan made up his mind to be a hands-off boss and not take care of anything.
In the past, all the etiquette and rules of the court were managed by the Ministry of Rites. He always held the Deer Singing Banquet at the instruction of Prince Yao. Even though Prince Yao was no longer in the capital, his heart still followed Prince Yao loyally.
He had already thought of a bunch of excuses to deal with the "weak and sickly" prince and the princess who was married "against ancestral teachings".
He must shirk responsibility!
When Shen Xiyue came, Liao Guangyuan was very enthusiastic and came out to greet her personally. Looking at the extremely beautiful Crown Princess, he immediately decided in his mind that this was a "vase" that would be easy to get rid of.
He stood under the eaves and called out respectfully, "Crown Princess."
But his feet stood still, not moving at all.
Shen Xiyue smiled slightly, her red skirt fluttering like a butterfly, with joy and elegance as she flew into the gate of the most rule-abiding Ministry of Rites.
She walked up to Liao Guangyuan in a few steps, full of concern: "Master Liao, have you been waiting for a long time? The emperor has issued an order long ago, but I only got around to come here today. I'm afraid Master Liao has no idea about the Lu Ming Banquet. I don't know what to do, right?"
So the pretended respect on Liao Guangyuan's face could no longer be seen with naked eyes.
The muscles on his face twitched. What did the Crown Princess mean by this?
He had no idea what she meant by not coming. As the Minister of Rites, how could he not be able to host a banquet?
Who to humiliate?
However, Shen Xiyue didn't care what he thought. She walked into the door of the Ministry of Rites leisurely and went to the main house. She acted as if she had returned home.
The people from the Ministry of Rites had already been warned by Liao Guangyuan that no matter what the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess said, they would never take over the matter of the Lu Ming Banquet.
Everyone had already thought about it in their hearts. Since Lord Liao said so, if the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came, even if they said all the nice things, Lord Liao would just send them away perfunctorily.
But when they saw the Crown Princess coming in and ignoring Lord Liao, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Why is it different from what I imagined?
Shen Xiyue walked into the main hall like a big boss and sat down in the main seat. Shuang Ye followed her and urged the people from the Ministry of Rites to serve tea and snacks.
Everyone in the Ministry of Rites: “…”
I was used to being polite, and this was the first time I saw someone so impolite. For a moment I didn't know what to do with her.
There was nothing I could do but to quickly make tea and get some snacks.
After Shen Xiyue tasted all the snacks and hot tea in the Ministry of Rites, she picked and chose and asked people to take some away and replace them with new ones.
Only when she was satisfied did she speak with a smile: "Lord Liao is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. He really knows how to enjoy himself. When the prince is feeling better next time, I will definitely bring him here to taste it."
Liao Guangyuan shuddered: "......"
What does the Crown Princess mean? Is she saying, explicitly or implicitly, that he is corrupt?
He was about to say something to defend himself, but Shen Xiyue retracted her expression and said, "But right now, we still have to focus on business."
Liao Guangyuan: “…”
Shen Xiyue got straight to the point and said, "Lord Liao, I was just joking with you at the door just now. How could you not have a clue? The one who has no clue is me! Tell me, my Shen family is made up of military generals, and there are only a few scholars. How could we hold a banquet for scholars like this?"
"I was so worried that I had to ask my uncle. My uncle told me not to worry. Sir Liao, you are used to doing these things. Just follow the usual practice of previous years."
"After all, it's the Emperor's order. Lord Liao will definitely not...what's that phrase? Oh, right, you don't know how to appreciate a favor, right?"
"Well, since I'm here today, I can't leave empty-handed. Lord Liao should write me a schedule for the Luming Banquet so that I can have an idea in my mind and know what Lord Liao is planning.
Lord Liao, if you really have no idea for the time being, please discuss it with everyone in the Ministry of Rites. Anyone who has any ideas can come and talk to me."
Liao Guangyuan: “…”
He had thought of a lot of words to perfunctorily deal with the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, but he did not expect that the Crown Princess would openly mention so many backers as soon as she opened her mouth, including the Shen family, Prime Minister Song,
There is also a naked threat from Emperor You'an who issued the imperial edict, and...if he is unwilling, the Ministry of Rites will naturally have the reality that people are willing to do so.
For the first time, Liao Guangyuan felt that even though he still wanted to follow Prince Yao, he was currently under attack from all sides and he dared not be perfunctory with the Crown Princess no matter what.
