Chapter 284: Happy to be a father
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart
Yuan Chen sat at the top, his face gloomy, and he complained, "I said a long time ago that those old people are pedantic and not easy to deal with. ”
Shen Ji chuckled and said in a low voice, "The dust has settled, why does the emperor take them to heart?" ”
Yuan Chen's face was cold, and his tone was very displeased, "I was surprised that Cen Zhenjiang dared to be so bold, and he didn't take me seriously at all. ”
Shen Ji picked up the teacup on the table, and his tone was flat, "He intends to win over the Xiao family, I'm afraid he wants to make plans for Yuan Ye." ”
Hearing this, Yuan Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth, and a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, "He has the heart to do this, and it depends on whether the Xiao family is willing or not." ”
"General Xiao Xiao said bluntly today, he is not afraid of offending Cen Zhenjiang at all, and he already understands the thoughts of the Xiao family." Shen Ji's fingertips rested on the pale cyan tea cup lid, and his tone was smiling, "Who can have meat to eat, Old General Xiao should be clear." ”
"Having said that, don't take it lightly, don't withdraw the ones you sent out first, so that they keep an eye on Yuan Ye." Yuan Chen leaned on the soft pillow behind him, his expression was serious, "My second brother has been a nest since he was a child, and he is a mud that can't support the wall, but there are often people behind him to help, and it should not be underestimated." ”
"I understand." Shen Ji frowned slightly, and put down the teacup, "The informant is keeping an eye on it, once Yuan Ye makes a move, he will immediately send someone to suppress it." ”
"With you, I can also worry less." Yuan Chen pinched the bridge of his nose, his face was tired, "The twists and turns that have been handed over recently are all trying to persuade me to draft, which is really annoying." ”
"A country cannot be without a king for a day, and the same is true for the queen." Shen Ji sat up straight and persuaded in a low voice, "After the emperor doesn't stand for a day, they will talk for one more day." ”
Yuan Chen hung his head slightly, and a touch of pain flashed in his eyes, "But the country is unstable, I don't have the mood to love, and I don't want to trap those girls in the harem." ”
"The harem is uncertain, how can the country be stable?" Shen Ji sighed lightly and took a sip of warm tea, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, the harem will check and balance each other, and the country will be stable, you don't want to, but there is no other way." ”
Yuan Chen stared at him and was silent for a long time before he replied in a low voice, "That's it...... I don't force those girls, the draft will fall, who has the heart to enter the palace, you can see it at a glance. ”
"The minister knows one person." Shen Ji opened his mouth quietly, and when he saw Yuan Chen staring at him, he said in a deep voice, "Yun Qinghe, the concubine of the Prime Minister's family, is a good candidate. ”
"Mrs. Yong'an County once said to her ministers that Yunqing had a good relationship with Xie Wanzhou in the same house, and she once bluntly said that she belonged to the emperor when she was young."
"Do you want me?" Yuan Chen was in a trance for a moment, and muttered, "Yun Qing and ......"
When the words landed, Yuan Chen's mind suddenly appeared with the face of a girl, and her face turned red inexplicably, "I remember her, when she was young, she ran to the street playfully, but she was penniless but ate three strings of sugar gourds from others, and the angry stall wanted to beat her, and it happened that I was passing by and tied the silver for her......"
Shen Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and quipped, "I didn't expect the emperor's acquaintance with Miss Yun to be so interesting." ”
"But a few copper plates, I didn't pay attention to it." Yuan Chen's earlobes were also flooded with red tides, and he said in a deep voice, "Who knew she was ...... No, why are you so familiar with Mrs. Yong'an? Can these words reach your ears? ”
Shen Ji's face was pale, and he was rarely confused, "Minister......"
Yuan Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a solemn tone, "Shen Qing, don't you hide anything from me, right?" ”
Shen Ji pursed the corners of his lips, and under Yuan Chen's burning gaze, he reluctantly opened his mouth, "The minister has been pleasing to her for a long time, and he is naturally interested." ”
"Joyful... Mrs. Yong'an? Yuan Chen was shocked and his eyes widened, "You...... Are you serious? ”
Shen Ji straightened his expression and tilted his head slightly, "The minister will not joke about this." ”
Yuan Chen opened his mouth and paused for a long time before saying, "She is a loyal widow and has three children. ”
"So what?" Shen Ji asked rhetorically, his expression calm, "Wouldn't it be better for the minister to be a father directly?" ”
"But you're a father to Xie Li!" Yuan Chen swallowed his saliva and lowered his voice, "Does Xie Li know?" ”
Shen Ji lowered his eyebrows and nodded slowly.
Although Yuan Chen was shocked, he still had a trace of reason, and asked in a low voice, "Mrs. Yong'an County is also interested in you?" ”
Shen Ji paused, his head hung down, "She doesn't know about this......"
"She doesn't know, but Xie Li does?" Yuan Chen stood up abruptly and paced in the hall, "Shen Qing, Shen Qing, tell me what is good about you!" ”
Shen Ji touched the tip of his nose, his eyes dodged, "The minister is waiting for the right time......
Yuan Chen was speechless, stared at him for a long time, and muttered, "Go out, let me slow down." ”
“…… The minister retired. ”

Yongcheng Houfu
"Madame......"
"Ma'am?"
"Madame!"
Fang Xu's body shook and suddenly came back to his senses, but he saw two faces piled up in front of him, and he was frightened for a while.
"What are you two going to do?" Fang Xu patted his heart, gasping for breath in small sips, "Good people are gathered around me, and the work in your hands is done?" ”
"The slave and maid have been calling you for a long time, and they think something has happened to you." Su Zi's face turned pale and his expression was worried, "I've never seen Madame like this." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Bai Ji pouted, looking afraid, "The slave still thinks you have been taken away." ”
Fang Xu glanced at the two of them and scolded in a low voice, "What nonsense? I was just thinking about things, and I was just in a trance. ”
When Su Zi heard this, her eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and she said softly, "Madame, but what is stumped?" ”
"What's the matter that even Madame can't do?" Bai Ji scratched his head, looking puzzled, "Madame, who is bothered?" The slave went and dealt with him. ”
Fang Xu's body was shocked, and he looked at Bai Ji in surprise, and before she could speak, there was movement outside the door.
"Ma'am." Ye Ming stood outside the door and called into the house, "Lord Shen is here, waiting in the lobby." ”
Fang Xu paused, and a different color flashed in his eyes.
"Lord Shen is here again?" Bai Ji grinned, and subconsciously said, "Lord Shen has been too diligent these days, is it that our prince is going to be promoted again?" ”
Fang Xu got up slowly, without too much expression on his face, and said softly, "Don't speculate, go and go about your own business." ”
"Madame doesn't need a slave to serve ......"
"Yes, ma'am." Su Zi was puzzled by Mrs. Strangeness, but she couldn't ask more, so she had to answer and dragged Bai He out of the room with a confused face.
Seeing the two girls leaving, Fang Xu breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
For some reason, she always had a nervous feeling of cheating behind her back.
Fang Xu walked quickly to the lobby, and happened to see Shen Ji standing sideways in front of the table, playing with something in his hand.
Getting closer, Fang Xu saw the appearance of the thing clearly, and his face was hot.
It was the string of beads she loved to hold in her hand, and it fell in the hall last night, and she didn't expect Shen Ji to see it.
