Your scumbag application has been returned
Chapter 158 Encounter on a narrow road
Qin Xiwan usually woke up at this time and was practicing in the yard. Chen Yuenian went over to greet her, "Sister Wan."
Qin Xiwan saw that he was dressed like a gentleman and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. "Not bad, not bad. It's a good thing you still remember that you are a subject. This set of clothes will get moldy."
Chen Yuenian raised his eyebrows and said, "When did I forget? I am loyal to Your Majesty and have devoted my life to him. It's just that I was injured a few days ago and I really can't spare the time. I will go as soon as I recover."
"Just mess around," Qin Xiwan drove him away with disdain. Others didn't know, didn't she know what evil things Chen Yuenian was up to? "Don't be an eyesore here. I get annoyed when I see you. You're really not as interesting as your wife."
"Okay, I won't disturb Sister Wan anymore. When Ayuan wakes up, I'll have to trouble you to look after him for me." Chen Yuenian bowed in a fake manner.
What answered Chen Yuenian was a leaf that cut through the air and penetrated three inches into the thick wooden door.
Chen Yuenian rarely attended court.
First, he found it troublesome. He had to get up before dawn every day. Wouldn't it be better for him to lie in bed or practice sword-fighting for a while? Instead, he had to listen to a group of people nagging and shouting "Your Majesty is wise" and "Long live the emperor" from time to time.
Chen Yuenian was afraid of being struck by lightning if he said something against his will.
Second, he didn't want to hang around Emperor Liang. He and Emperor Liang hated each other and felt uncomfortable seeing each other. Emperor Liang wanted to kill him, so hanging around him would only increase his hatred, and would have no effect.
Third, he has been away from Shengdu for most of the year, and today is the only day he has rested. Emperor Liang does not need anyone to show his loyalty to him. Instead of wasting time on this, he might as well show more filial piety to his grandfather, who might even be happier.
It's just different today.
He had made great contributions in suppressing bandits, and lied that he was seriously ill and bedridden. Chen Yuechu helped him receive the reward. This illness would eventually heal, and he would go to Emperor Liang to see him. He was almost well now, and he would take the opportunity to thank him for the reward.
The carriages stopped at the palace gate and the officials had to dismount and walk.
Most of them were walking in groups, but Chen Yuechu, standing alone, stood out from the crowd. He had been waiting at the palace gate for a long time.
When those people saw him, they would greet him, and he had to respond. He was exhausted just dealing with them, and he had no idea how many times he had cursed Chen Yuenian in his heart.
On such an important day, he came so slowly. Not only that, but he also insisted on asking him to wait for him at the door. Did he think he was a door god who could be visited by people for free?
Chen Yuechu was so angry that he shivered.
Chen Yuenian walked leisurely, as if he was not coming to court but to visit the palace.
Chen Yuechu's temples throbbed and his fists clenched, "Hurry up and leave. You really think you're a big shot."
The two brothers were both wearing crimson official robes, which also became a beautiful landscape.
The pattern on Chen Yuechu's clothes was embroidered with cranes, while the pattern on Chen Yuenian's court dress was embroidered with unicorns. Different auspicious animals were used to distinguish between civil officials and military officials.
Generally speaking, for a family to produce one first-class person is the result of the efforts of eighteen generations of ancestors, but the Chen family produced two at once. It cannot be simply described as smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. No wonder Emperor Liang was afraid of their family.
Chen Yuechu has been busy with the prince's affairs these days and has become much more haggard. He cannot be close to his wife. Does Chen Yuenian understand how lonely he is staying alone in the empty room?
Of course Chen Yuenian didn’t understand.
On the other hand, Chen Yuenian has a rosy complexion and looks radiant. One can tell at a glance that he is living a very comfortable life with his wife taking care of him closely.
The gap is obvious.
Chen Yuechu and Chen Yuenian walked side by side, and said sarcastically: "I see that big brother is in a very good mood, very happy, and smiling like a flower. I will send you to the painted boat tomorrow to sell your smiles, so as to attract more customers for me."
Chen Yuenian flicked the non-existent dust off his clothes and choked Chen Yuechu with one sentence: "If I don't laugh, am I going to cry? And you asked me to attract customers, but I'm afraid you can't afford my wages."
"What a shame. Then just cry. The more miserable you cry, the more it will appear that you have done your best to eliminate a great scourge for His Majesty. Maybe His Majesty will be pleased and reward you again." Money is needed everywhere now, and Chen Yuechu needs to find more ways to make money.
He is almost dying of poverty, and his family depends on him alone to earn money. Woohoo, I should have known earlier that he should go to the border.
There was an opportunity in front of Chen Yuechu before, but he didn't know how to cherish it. Now he regrets it deeply.
Before Chen Yuenian could reply, a voice from the side interrupted them, with a familiar tone: "Hey, isn't this General Chen? It's really rare to see you. How come you have time to come to court?"
Someone followed up and echoed him: "Yes, as your Majesty's subjects, we should share your Majesty's worries, instead of relying on your Majesty's consideration and disappearing all day long."
Chen Yuenian turned around nonchalantly and found that it was Prime Minister Nan, who spoke in a sarcastic tone and acted as if he was no one.
"Sir Zhao, how do you know that I didn't share Your Majesty's worries? Besides, I didn't come because I made great contributions in suppressing the bandits, and Your Majesty specifically asked me to recuperate at home. Do you want me to drag my injured body in front of Your Majesty and show pity?" Chen Yuenian spoke in a high-sounding manner, calling His Majesty every time, which made Sir Zhao so angry that he had to hold his anger back.
Chen Yuenian is not only strong, he is also very eloquent, not to mention that standing next to him is Chen Yuechu, who is also capable of debating with many scholars.
They had already lost half the game before Chen Yuechu even came on the court.
Chen Yuenian turned to Nan Zhongze, Nan Yuan's father, and said, "Lord Nan, no, no, no, it should be father-in-law. I would like to greet you first. This is the first time I have seen you since I married Ayuan. I am ashamed to say that I did not meet you in person on the day Ayuan came home. I wanted to have a drink with you. Now that we meet, I wonder if you would be so kind as to allow me to have a drink after court."
Chen Yuenian kept calling him "son-in-law", which seemed to lower his posture and show respect for his "father-in-law", but Nan Zhongze felt a burning pain on his face. The news that Madam Nan had forgotten Nan Yuan and didn't even let him in the door spread all over the city, and even now there were still people who laughed at him behind his back for being unwilling to do anything.
With a father and mother like him, who would dare to marry the daughter of the Nan family in the future? They are all waiting to be severely humiliated on the day of returning home.
Afterwards, Nan Zhongze had to "go to the door to apologize", but Chen Yuenian took Nan Yuan away. No one was there, so he couldn't find a chance to apologize even if he wanted to. But Madam Nan couldn't say anything, so he could only swallow this loss by himself, secretly cursing Madam Nan for being so petty that she was unwilling to even pretend.
He couldn't get angry at Chen Yuenian. He originally wanted to embarrass Chen Yuenian, but Chen Yuenian dug a pit and kicked him into it, and he had to stand at the bottom of the pit and greet him with a smile.
The four people met unexpectedly, and Chen Yuechu found that some people passing by slowed down, as if they didn't want to miss this good show. It was estimated that after the court was over, the after-dinner talk in Shengdu would be updated.
Nan Zhongze couldn't explain himself even if he had ten mouths. He was in the wrong and had to rush to ask for a scolding. He smiled reluctantly, "No, I heard that General Xiao Chen was injured and should not drink. Let's wait until next time."
Chen Yuenian bowed to him and said, "Thank you for your consideration, father-in-law. I will definitely bring Ayuan to visit you some other day."
Lord Nan left in disgrace. He was a little anxious and forgot about the matter completely, and was made fun of by Chen Yuenian for no reason.
It's true that he is popular in front of His Majesty, but His Majesty has to give him some face when facing Chen Yuenian. It is not wise to use His Majesty to suppress Chen Yuenian. It also indirectly proves that Chen Yuenian is arrogant and does not take His Majesty seriously.
Seeing them walking so fast, Chen Yuenian snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm a fool with only strength but no intelligence? How dare you mock me? How naive! It's really hard for Nan Zhongze to be as intelligent as you."
Chen Yuechu patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "After all, you don't look very smart, so it's normal for you to underestimate the enemy. Besides, His Majesty needs someone to flatter him, and I can't do that, so it's just right to let Nan Zhongze come."
Chen Yuenian chuckled: "Chen Yuechu, you are getting bolder, aren't you?"
Chen Yuechu's figure flashed and he took two or three quick steps forward. "Let's go, let's go. Don't waste time."
When they arrived at the Zichen Palace, Chen Yuenian and Chen Yuechu stood on either side.
Almost an incense stick of time had passed before Emperor Liang came over slowly. His steps were unsteady and he needed the support of a eunuch.
The eunuch stood on a high place and shouted shrilly: "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."
Emperor Liang supported his head with one hand, sitting on his dragon throne bored, with an impatient look on his face, as if there were nails piercing him on the dragon throne, making him just want to leave here as soon as possible.
From his dark eyes and pale face, it can be seen that he is deficient in energy and blood, and has not taken good care of his body in time.
If this goes on, his health will only get worse and worse. In such a physical condition, he still wants to select concubines. It can only be said that the concubines in the palace are coaxing him into doing nothing in order to gain favor.
Chen Yuenian and Chen Yuechu glanced at each other secretly, which was noticed by Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang's tone was not good. "I haven't seen Lord Chen for a long time. How come you are so free today? Didn't Prime Minister Chen say that you are still recovering from your injuries? I specially allow you not to come to court. Recovery is the top priority."
As expected, he has heard so many compliments from Nan Zhongze that even his way of making fun of others is almost the same.
Chen Yuenian took a step to the middle, bowed his waist, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Thanks to your majesty's kindness and your majesty's great fortune, your majesty's care is more effective than any panacea. My injury has almost healed. Now that my injury has healed, there is naturally no reason for me to stay at home. I am your majesty's subject, and I should come to the court to share your worries."
Emperor Liang almost burst into curses. What he said was so righteous. It was good enough that he didn't come to cause trouble for him. But he even shared his worries. Did he think he had lived too long?
He is a typical example of someone who takes advantage of others and still acts ungratefully. He cannot even do anything to Chen Yuenian.
Emperor Liang felt even more depressed and pinched his brows.
Having successfully angered Emperor Liang, Chen Yuenian smiled and said, "You must click on me." Since he cared about him, he would naturally say something nice in return. However, only Emperor Liang knew whether it was pleasing or unpleasant to hear.
