Shen Shaoyu nodded and returned the greeting. Since the emperor wanted to honor him, he would definitely accept it. Moreover, the emperor entrusted everything to him now. If he didn't accept it, how could he control the overall situation and manage these noble princes and kings in the future?

Xia Jinhe saluted Xia Nan again and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

Xia Nanxing nodded, his expression was not as serious as when he treated Xia Jinxian, but rather very gentle.

The father and son chatted briefly about family matters.

Xia Jinhe has already married and has several children. It is said that his wife is about to give birth again.

While the father and son were talking, a palace maid came to serve tea to Shen Shaoyu.

Shen Shaoyu picked up the teacup and took a sip. In just a quarter of an hour, Xia Jinhe left.

He really came to pay his respects to Xia Nanxing.

Xia Nanxing said, "My eldest son is honest and kind. He has never given me any worries since he was young. He is a blessed man."

Shen Shaoyu now listened to everything Xia Nanxing said as if it were his last words.

Xia Nanxing did not mention his other sons, and Shen Shaoyu did not ask.

I guess none of the rest are going to be at peace.

Xia Nanxing stood up and walked to the bookshelf without avoiding Shen Shaoyu at all. He turned an ornament in the corner, revealing a secret compartment, and took out a wooden box from it.

"I will give you this most important thing. When necessary, use it to stabilize the situation. I will also issue an imperial decree to appoint you as the regent, and you will hold the power to stabilize the situation."

Shen Shaoyu frowned, looking reluctant.

Xia Nanxing said helplessly: "Take it out when necessary, and don't take it out if it's not necessary. I know you don't like these things and don't want to be restricted by the court, but you are the only person I have the ability and can trust."

Shen Shaoyu could only take the box, which felt heavy in his hands.

It was definitely not possible to just take him away like this, so Xia Nanxing waved his hand and rewarded him with a lot of things.

If you hold a bunch of them in your hand, they won't attract attention.

If you want to know where is the safest place to put this box, it must be in Yuan Junyao's space.

When he returned to the old house, Leng Qinghe and Liang Chao's carriage happened to be parked at the door.

He stopped at the door and looked at the carriage parked there in confusion.

Then, Leng Qinghe got out of the carriage, and his expressionless face suddenly became gentle.

"Qinghe."

"cousin!"

Leng Qinghe jumped off the carriage, and Liang Chao followed closely behind with a helpless look on his face.

Shen Shaoyu stared at her beautiful face, glanced at Liang Chao, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Why don't you just rest at home? What are you rushing over here for?"

Leng Qinghe chuckled, his eyes full of joy, and it was obvious that he had a very happy first day of his wedding.

Come to think of it, there is no elder in this marquis's mansion. I heard that the loyal and brave marquis went to the military camp early in the morning, but no one set rules for Leng Qinghe.

"I missed you, cousin. Let's go inside. I still need to check on Jun Yao's injuries."

When Leng Qinghe talked about the injury on Yuan Junyao's hand, the smile on her face faded a lot.

"Cousin." Liang Chao nodded and greeted him respectfully.

Shen Shaoyu nodded and said, "Let's go inside first."

"Cousin, why are you carrying so many things?"

Shen Shaoyu said calmly: "Just came back from the palace."

"The Emperor has given you so many rewards!"

Leng Qinghe raised his lips and smiled, "My cousin is so capable, it's only right that he's respected."

The three of them entered the house.

There were no servants in this house, not even someone to serve tea. What's more, Wen Yan'er was injured again, Jin Qi was busy taking care of her, and no one else was around.

Fortunately, Leng Qinghe and Liang Chao don't care about these things.

Shen Shaoyu went back to the house to put his things away, and they sat in the front yard.

Yuan Junyao woke up after sleeping for more than an hour and was now teasing the tiger in the backyard.

Huaqiu now has his own room, and Lin Mo and others take turns taking him out hunting, but they only go out at night. Going out during the day would scare passers-by.

"Why are you carrying so many boxes?"

Yuan Junyao noticed Shen Shaoyu as soon as he entered the yard.

Shen Shaoyu said, "Go back to the house. I have something to leave with you."

After Yuan Junyao followed him back to the house, she saw Shen Shaoyu put the pile of boxes on the table and closed the door solemnly.

Yuan Junyao asked curiously, "What is so mysterious?"

Shen Shaoyu took out the most inconspicuous one from the pile of boxes.

When you open the box, you will find a very exquisite wooden box inside.

"Keep it well. There's also this."

Shen Shaoyu took out another imperial edict from it.

Yuan Junyao stared at the two objects and asked doubtfully, "Could this be the imperial decree to appoint the crown prince? And in this box, could it be..."

Shen Shaoyu shook his head gently and told her not to say it.

Yuan Junyao closed her mouth and whispered, "Can I see it?"

Shen Shaoyu nodded.

Yuan Junyao carefully opened the box and looked at the things inside. Her eyes were full of shock and she couldn't take her eyes off them for a long time.

"The Emperor truly has unconditional trust in you!"

Shen Shaoyu pursed his lips and said nothing.

The more you trust him, the greater the pressure!

Yuan Junyao put the box away and opened the imperial edict.

"Fuck! This isn't an imperial decree appointing you as the Crown Prince. It's an imperial decree appointing you as the Regent! Isn't he afraid you'll seize the throne?"

Shen Shaoyu looked helpless.

Yuan Junyao put away the imperial edict and said with a smile, "I think you must be extremely unhappy."

"Okay, Qing He and her husband are here. They're staying in the front hall now."

"Ha, wasn't last night your wedding night? Why are you here today?"

The two came to the front yard.

Yuan Junyao was dressed in women's clothes in the old house because she had no plans to go out today.

As soon as Leng Qinghe saw her, he immediately stood up and shouted, "Jun Yao!"

But Liang Chao looked as if he had seen a ghost.

"You, you, you are a woman??"

At the wedding banquet yesterday, Yuan Junyao was clearly dressed in men's clothes.

Yuan Junyao said calmly: "It's convenient to disguise as a man."

Leng Qinghe immediately asked: "Where are your injuries? Let me take a look."

Yuan Junyao rolled up her sleeves and bandaged her wrist.

"It's all taken care of, don't worry."

Leng Qinghe was still worried, so he opened the box and checked the wound. He was relieved to see that it had been treated well.

"Who treated this for you? The suturing method is so unique. And the thread used to sew the wound is so thin. What kind of material is it?"

Yuan Junyao couldn't answer a word and said vaguely: "This is what my master left me. I don't know what kind of thread it is, but I can teach you how to sew it."

Leng Qinghe looked expectant. Yuan Junyao thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you the medical book when I get back. You can learn it on your own. I don't know any medical skills."

Leng Qinghe's eyes lit up.

"Okay, I'll give you some money and consider it my purchase."

Yuan Junyao said with a smile: "We are all family, why do we need money?"

"A family..." Leng Qinghe's gaze immediately fell on Shen Shaoyu.
