Palace.

"What did you say?" The emperor threw the fold in his hand, his face turned pale, "When did you have a marriage contract with the Wang family?" You Rui, it shouldn't be that you want to go to Canglan, so you just made up a reason to coax me, right? ”

Inexplicably, there are many marriage contracts, and I have to go to the vicissitudes!

You Rui arched his hand, "If you go back to the emperor, it is a marriage contract made by the minister and Lord Wang a few days ago. The parents and elders of the Chen family have passed away, and I am the only one left in the You family. ”

Such a serious and normal sentence made the angry emperor laugh out loud, and the atmosphere in the hall was not as tense as before.

The emperor slowly leaned on the cushion behind him, with a smile between his eyebrows, "You Rui, over the years, you have been conscientious, abiding by your official duties, and you are upright, and even this dress has become exquisite, after so many years of pretending, do you think I can forget your previous appearance?" ”

If someone else said something like spreading branches and leaves, the emperor would naturally have to think about it, but today he was facing You Rui, so naturally he couldn't think according to common sense.

"What the emperor said, the minister doesn't understand." You Rui continued to pretend to be stupid, his face calm.

Looking at the other party's appearance, the emperor coughed lightly, raised his hand and asked everyone in the palace to retreat, and only after leaving only a personal eunuch, did he ask: "Say, what do you want me to do for you, do you want me to help you push off this marriage?" ”

The government and the opposition all know that Wang Chen is a trusted minister of the emperor, although his temper is a little short-tempered, but he is heartfelt and has never had two hearts.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Chen not only won the trust of the emperor, but also was quite respected among many courtiers, not to mention those officials with lower ranks than him, even those who were equal to him, or who had higher official positions and status than him, did not dare to easily offend him.

Now, You Rui inexplicably has a marriage contract with Wang Chen's family, not to mention, and he has to enter the palace in front of him and re-mention the matter of going to the vicissitudes, how can the emperor not be suspicious?

But You Rui's face was calm, and his tone was light, "The emperor is too worried, and the minister has no other ideas." I just feel that since Miss Wang is about to leave for Canglan, it is logical that the minister, as her husband, naturally wants to go together. ”

"Nonsense!" The emperor slapped the case a few times, and his voice suddenly rose several degrees, "You Rui, you'd better say something directly, if you continue to turn around like this, I won't help you!" ”

You Rui stubbornly stood aside, hanging his head and not speaking.

Seeing this, the emperor's personal eunuch hurriedly lowered his voice and persuaded: "Lord You, just say it directly, if it goes on like this, the emperor will be angry." ”

You Rui raised his eyes to look at the emperor's appearance, and smiled, "Your Majesty, you won't be really angry, right?" ”

"Speak quickly!" The emperor impatiently patted the table a few times and urged.

After all, the other party is the emperor, and You Rui doesn't dare to anger the emperor even if he is presumptuous, so he cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask you to cancel the marriage contract between the two of us, and the minister doesn't want to marry that Miss Wang." ”

Hearing him say this, the emperor's face improved a little, and his tone softened, but he still showed no mercy on his lips, "Since you don't want to marry, don't agree to anyone in the first place!" Agreed and repented, what kind of situation did you put that girl in? ”

Hearing this, You Rui lowered his shoulders and sighed helplessly, "When the minister agreed, he was not sober at all, and he was beaten by Wang Chen's old ... I was drunk by Lord Wang! Otherwise, how could I have agreed to marry his daughter! ”

The emperor lifted his eyelids and glared at him, then waved his hand slightly, "I know, I will deal with this matter, you can go back first." ”

"Then the emperor must cancel this marriage!" You Rui frowned a little uneasily, looking at the emperor's unconcerned appearance, he couldn't help but add: "If the emperor doesn't agree to cancel this marriage, the minister will really go to Canglan with Wang Youhe." ”

"You still dare to threaten me?" The emperor's voice was low.

You Rui was secretly dissatisfied, but he had to laugh dryly twice and explained: "No, the minister really doesn't want to marry a wife, so I also ask the emperor to cancel my marriage with her earlier, so that the minister can feel more at ease." ”

"I know, I know, go back to you."

After You Rui left the palace, the emperor sitting on the couch lowered his head and thought about it, and after a while, he summoned the eunuch and asked in a low voice: "Is this Wang Chen really taking advantage of You Rui's drunkenness to mention the marriage contract with him?" Do you know when this happened? ”

I only knew that the Wang family had a daughter, but I had never heard that this girl had anything to do with You Rui, and now that this girl wants to make trouble, You Rui must not have anything to do with him.

In case this You Rui also went to Canglan with him, wouldn't he have another right-hand man in the court?

"Back to the emperor's words; The old slave has indeed heard a lot of gossip these days. The old eunuch squinted his eyes and replied with a smile.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately raised his head and raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Let's hear it. ”

The old eunuch bent down, came to the emperor's side, lowered his voice, sorted out the words he had heard in the palace in the past few days, and repeated: "The old slave heard that Lord Wang's daughter didn't want to marry Lord You, and she committed suicide a few days ago, and she knocked a big wound on her head, and she still can't get out of bed." ”

"Is it really that serious?" The emperor was very surprised, "It's all to the point of committing suicide?" ”

"That's what the rumor is, but no one has seen it with their own eyes." The old eunuch didn't dare to say too much, "But since such a thing can be reported, it also means that this Miss Wang really doesn't want to marry Master You." ”

Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but chuckle a few times, thinking: There are still people in this world who don't want to marry You Rui, and they are still looking for death and life, which is indeed unexpected.

However, You Rui is also smart and clever, so he didn't dare to offend Wang Chen, but came to the palace to find himself an idea, so that he could put pressure on Wang Chen and let the other party have to cancel the marriage. In this way, the marriage was canceled, and Wang Chen was not offended, killing two birds with one stone.

It's a brilliant idea.

Thinking of this, the emperor smiled, "Go, summon Wang Chen into the palace." ”

The old eunuch's eyes rolled, his heart was clear, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, the old slave will go." ”

After You Rui left the palace, he didn't rush home, but turned around and went in the direction of Lu Mansion.

After meeting Lu Li in the Lu Mansion, You Rui told the other party about the conversation with the emperor in the palace word for word, and added at the end: "This time the matter can be done, thank you a lot to Mrs. Sister-in-law, Brother Lu, it is really your blessing to be able to marry Mrs. Sister-in-law." ”

Lu Li glanced at him, "Okay, don't talk about these things that I don't have, I still have something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" You Rui hurriedly corrected his attitude and listened attentively.

Xiao Satisfaction wants to hold the competition before and after, but now it seems that he can't be there in person, I wanted Xia Wanrou and Wei Xiuyuan to host it, but considering that Wei Xiuyuan is not very proficient in embroidery, Xia Wanrou is sometimes too soft-hearted, so Lu Li and his wife thought about it and hit the idea on You Rui's body.

Of course, it's not just for You Rui to host it alone. Xiaoman had already persuaded Jiang Qiming to let him hold this game with Wei Xiuyuan and his wife, You Rui and others.

The four of them have their own strengths, so that Xiaoman can rest assured that her months of hard work will not be wasted.

"Embroidery competition?" You Rui was very puzzled, and showed a look that he had never heard of, "You want to hold an embroidery competition?" What is this competition for? What's going to be at the top of the list? ”

Speaking of which, although this You Rui is an important minister of the imperial court and knowledgeable, he has never dealt with these things, and even the clothes he wears every day are not very elegant, so Lu Li is not very surprised to see You Rui's ignorant appearance.

He patiently explained to the other party, and then added: "Actually, it's just through your fame, you only need to supervise the field at that time, and the rest of the things are in charge of Wei Xiuyuan, Jiang Qiming and others, so you don't bother." ”

After listening, You Rui nodded thoughtfully, and responded very refreshingly, "Okay!" Then I'll promise to do you this favor! ”

"So fast?" Lu Li was very surprised, "Don't you think about it?" ”

"You've helped me so much, and that's what you should be in return."

After speaking, You Rui got up and arched his hand, "It's not early, I'll go home first, and on the day Brother Lu leaves, I will definitely come back to see you off, if you need help in the future, just say it!" I will definitely do my part! ”

Being able to get You Rui's support so quickly, Lu Xuan was still a little surprised, but seeing the other party's cheerful appearance, he no longer stuck to others, so he also got up and said goodbye, watching the other party leave.

After sending You Rui away, Lu Li returned to the bedroom to find Xiao Man and told the other party what You Rui had promised.

Xiao Man was also a little surprised, "I agreed so quickly, what if I regret it when I think about it later?" It's like, I agreed to Lord Wang's marriage contract so readily before, but now we have to cancel this marriage contract in the law, won't we be embarrassed at that time? ”

"Don't worry, You Rui is very sober this time." Lu Li stepped forward and rubbed Xiao Man's head, and said with a gentle smile: "Besides, You Rui is repaying his kindness, which is not the same as promising Wang Chen's marriage contract." ”

After speaking, Lu Li lowered his head slightly, looked at the other party's eyes, and said seriously: "What's more, there are Wei Xiuyuan and Jiang Qiming to help, even if you are not present, this game will definitely end smoothly, you have to believe in their ability and vision, right?" ”

Xiao Man wrapped his hands around Lu Li's waist, rested his head on the other party's chest, and said lazily: "It's okay, anyway, we will already be in Canglan by then, and there will definitely be a lot of things waiting for us to do, so leave the matter of this game to them." ”

There are too many things to do during this time, Xiaoman is already very tired, and she really doesn't have the extra heart to think about the competition in a few months.
