Of course, Crown Prince Yan Beichen had also thought of this.
Shen Changyuan also thought of this, which is why he said that Shen Mingzhu had offended the chief steward Wang Defu to death!
Despite the fact that Grand Eunuch Wang Defu is a favourite of Emperor Jingyuan and enjoys immense prestige, with everyone giving him face, there is one thing that cannot be changed: he is a slave.
Therefore, his son Liang Muyang would naturally also be a slave. According to the "Great Yan Laws", the sons of slaves such as servants of noble families, slaves who have taken refuge with them, and servants and attendants of officials are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations.
At that moment, the group of people who were deep in thought suddenly heard Guagua's voice.
[Host, Liang Muyang takes his mother's surname, and his mother is now a widow. As for Grand Eunuch Wang Defu, nobody knows he is Liang Muyang's father! Everyone knows he lives with his widowed mother. Every time Grand Eunuch Defu goes out of the palace to see them, he does so through an invisible gate he opened in his villa outside the palace. Nobody knows about it!]
[The chief steward, Wang Defu, was very attentive and meticulous about this!]
[Ahhh! Guagua, I never knew Consort Fu was so cunning!]
[Host, that person is a favourite of Emperor Jingyuan, incredibly cunning and shrewd. Do you think just anyone can become a favourite of the emperor? The kind who serves him intimately?]
The officials and civil servants looked at the two people at the head of the table and nodded repeatedly.
That makes sense!
They heard some really exciting gossip about Consort Fu today.
Wang Defu: Your happiness is built on my suffering!
Prince An: What does the invisible courtyard gate look like?
Curious...
What does the son of the chief steward Wang Defu look like?
He scratched his head, wanting to go and see after the court session!
Emperor Jingyuan: Is now the time to worry about the hidden door?
You have time to visit other people's sons, but can't you ever think about whether you have any sons outside the marriage?
You brat!
This is such a headache!!!
Prince An: Sure enough, he's not the only one in the Great Yan Dynasty who can "create" extra sons out of thin air. Look, even Grand Steward Wang Defu has a son now!
Emperor Jingyuan: Is this the key point?
After dropping a bombshell during the morning court session today, Shen Mingzhu let out a long yawn.
[Guagua, when is court over? I'm so sleepy!]
[Host, if only we could leave court now! You don't know that General Tian Xuezhou's youngest son who is a playboy, Tian Ping'an, is climbing over the wall of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, trying to find the Duke's youngest daughter, Su Jiu Mei!]
Su Huaiyuan: Damn it! That damned playboy actually dared to seduce my sister!!!
He glanced at General Tian Xuezhou, who was not far away, and his eyes flashed like daggers.
If he weren't in court right now, he would definitely go over and confront him.
His little sister is so well-behaved; she must have been deceived into getting entangled with the Tian family's boy.
When exactly did that playboy set his sights on his sister?
He had absolutely no idea!
This shameless boy must not be allowed to tarnish his sister's reputation.
Su Huaiyuan looked at Emperor Jingyuan with anticipation, hoping that he would end the court session now.
Unfortunately, Emperor Jingyuan ignored him and continued attending court.
The ministers continued to discuss state affairs.
Su Huaiyuan looked at Crown Prince Yan Beichen.
Brother, help!
Crown Prince Yan Beichen nodded at him.
Su Huaiyuan: He knew that good brothers are for life, but when it comes down to it, it has to be the Crown Prince.
This tutoring experience was worthwhile.
Su Huaiyuan silently moved closer to General Tian Xuezhou.
"General Tian, your son is quite something. Don't let me catch him, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Hmph! My son knows what he's doing and is safe."
Tian Xuezhou knows his son very well.
Although he was a bit of a playboy, he was very sensible.
Since he went to climb the wall of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, there must have been a reason why he had to climb the wall.
He will ask him when he goes back home.
Shen Mingzhu, on the other hand, only mentioned it briefly and then never followed up.
Grand Secretary Su Huaiyuan was so anxious that he was pacing around like an ant on a hot pan.
A person who was on good terms with him gently tugged at his sleeve.
"Grand Scholar Su, the court session has not yet ended."
"Thanks."
[Guagua, when can we finish court? My second sister-in-law's senior brothers and sisters from the Divine Healer Valley are here! I want to go back and see them!]
[Host, don't worry, it'll be over soon!]
Sigh... so many things are happening every day! I heard the people in the south are up to their old tricks again?
Guagua's voice came again; at that moment, the ministers were discussing how to deal with the those people.
[Guagua, why are they so dishonest? They're so annoying!]
[Yes, host, they have never been honest; they frequently harass the people of the south!]
[Those damn shorty, I'll wipe them out one day!]
Crown Prince Yan Beichen nodded repeatedly. He also wanted to destroy those people kingdom, but unfortunately, he had never succeeded.
The military officers in the hall were also very troubled.
Those people are very cunning; they would always harass the people of Yan and then run away.
It's quite annoying that they come every few days.
[Host, why do you seem to dislike them so much?]
[Guagua, absolutely! As a descendant of the dragon, my heart is red. To defeat them, to slaughter them, to storm their capital, and to burn the entire imperial city to the ground—that's a memory etched into my bones, a wish everyone wants to fulfil!]
Guagua didn't quite understand Shen Mingzhu's deep-seated memories, but felt that Shen Mingzhu hated evil and was very determined to drive the enemies of Yan out of Great Yan
Emperor Jingyuan: The Crown Princess is very righteous and hates evil towards her enemies!
The court officials were also troubled, wanting to exterminate them all, but they had not succeeded.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen: One day, he will destroy their kingdom and fulfil the Crown Princess's wish.
Shen Changyuan: My dear daughter's wish is wonderful.
[Ahhh, no!]
As the ministers were discussing the matter, they suddenly heard a sharp, cracking sound from the melon.
All the officials: What's going on?
Shen Changyuan: I hope my precious daughter won't reveal anything major.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen: What's going on?
He looked at Shen Mingzhu with some concern.
[Guagua, what's wrong? Why are you shouting like that!]
[Host, the eldest disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley, is coming to attend your second sister-in-law's wedding.]
[Guagua, isn't this a good thing?]
[Host, Divine Doctor Valley has always taken saving lives and healing the wounded as its mission and does not participate in the struggle for the throne. Your second sister-in-law, who is also the junior sister of Divine Doctor Valley, and her second senior brother Zhou Hanchuan, one is about to marry into the Crown Princess's family, and the other is helping the Second Prince's concubine Shen Jiaojiao run a clinic to make money in the Second Prince's residence. In the eyes of the senior brother Fusang of Divine Doctor Valley, this is all wrong and not allowed!]
The entire court: ...
What should we do?
Shen Changyuan: Will my son still be able to get married?
Qinglan, your dad will help you!
Crown Prince Yan Beichen: What does this have to do with him?
We can't stop the second young master of the Marquis's mansion from marrying the junior sister of the Divine Doctor Valley, can we?
He looked at Shen Mingzhu with lingering affection; this wouldn't do!
