PNB Chapter 673: Slow Down One Step and Stay in the Nunnery
Chapter 673: Slow Down One Step and Stay in the Nunnery
After hearing what Xiao Jingyu said, everyone in the Anguo Mansion looked at each other imperceptibly, and then ate their vegetarian meal as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Jingyu returned to Qingguo Temple and, in front of everyone in Anguo Mansion, he confidently stated that he was engaged. This showed that his feelings remained unchanged and the emperor's will remained unchanged!
The third young master Fu Mingxiu raised his eyebrows, turned up the corners of his lips, stopped talking, and began to concentrate on eating.
The atmosphere in the house is warm and peaceful.
After the vegetarian meal, the servants cleared all the cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks on the table and served tea.
After doing all this, the servants left one by one and the door was closed. Only the Anguo family and Xiao Jingyu were left in the room.
Before entering the room, Xiao Jingyu had already learned from Qingyi the whole process of Leng Rongyue's encounter with Jiang Ruofu in the mountains, his arrogant provocation by Jiang Ruofu, and Leng Rongyue's sharp counterattack.
Xiao Jingyu felt particularly happy about Leng Rongyue's confidence, decisiveness, and clear attitude towards the marriage.
Now I know that Yue'er is not cruel to me, that's enough.
If you want Yue'er to truly put you in her heart, you will have to rely on your own efforts and hard work in the future.
I will treat Yue'er with all my heart;
It will also make Yue'er accept herself completely.
Xiao Jingyu thought to himself and looked at Leng Rongyue who was sitting next to Old Madam Xue.
It was just such a coincidence that I met Leng Rongyue's gaze.
The two people's eyes met, and for a moment, they could not look away.
Everyone else present saw this and smiled meaningfully on their faces.
The silence around them made Leng Rongyue and Xiao Jingyu realize something at the same time...
Suddenly coming back to their senses, they saw everyone looking at them with meaningful and smiling eyes.
They both felt their faces burning...
Leng Rongyue turned around and threw herself into Old Madam Xue's arms;
Xiao Jingyu pretended to be calm and looked away.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng and Old Madam Xue looked at each other, and the old couple both laughed.
The eldest master and his wife and the second master and his wife also showed knowing smiles on their faces.
Who hasn’t come from the days of being a child?
How could they not see whether the couple in front of them had feelings for each other?
Since the two children are so affectionate to each other, how can they, as their elders, not protect them?
At present, it seems that the two children are interested in each other;
The Emperor and the Empress also recognized the couple's destiny.
In this case, they can ignore other greed and ambition, obstruction and sabotage.
Although we don't take it seriously, we still need to be on guard against it.
Some people are not afraid of being greedy, and some people are not afraid of being ambitious.
However, if someone is greedy and ambitious, and uses some shady and vicious means, we must be on guard.
The brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu have not been in officialdom for long, but the three of them, Duke Anguo and his sons, have been in the court for many years. There are some things that are obvious and covert that they just don't say out loud, but they know them clearly in their hearts.
At least for now, it is not the time to be happy for this loving pair of children.
There are still thorns in their path that need to be cleared!
The eldest son Fu Mingjun, who was sitting at the bottom, spoke first and asked the question that everyone present wanted to ask.
"Excuse me, Your Highness Prince Yu, has the court been peaceful these past two days?"
Xiao Jingyu certainly knew what Fu Mingjun was going to ask.
So, he went to the palace to meet his father and mother at night after returning to the capital, and told them everything he heard from his father.
He recounted everything he had heard and seen when he went to court this morning without hiding anything.
The Duke of Anguo and his son looked at each other, and the meaning was obvious—
That is... just as expected, it is just as expected!
At yesterday's morning court session, the emperor indeed did not speak a word or express his opinion, allowing these greedy courtiers to jump around as they pleased.
It was precisely because the emperor did not speak or express his views that the court officials thought of taking a two-pronged approach.
They continued to persuade the Emperor to withdraw the imperial decree granting the marriage and cancel the engagement between Leng Rongyue and His Royal Highness Prince Yu;
On the other hand, they would send their daughters or granddaughters directly to the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain, hoping that they would meet and form a bond with His Royal Highness Prince Yu there;
Even using any means necessary!
In short, as long as it can involve His Royal Highness Prince Yu;
As long as there is a reason to stay in Prince Yu’s mansion, it will be fine.
However, what they did not expect was that His Royal Highness Prince Yu would suddenly show up at the morning court today!
They then realized that as early as yesterday evening, His Royal Highness Prince Yu had rushed back to the capital to avoid suspicion and entered the palace overnight;
He appeared in the Golden Palace again this morning and gave those ambitious court officials a slap in the face.
And His Royal Highness Prince Yu's return to the capital to avoid suspicion also enabled the Emperor to advance his plan by one day.
The emperor took advantage of the situation and extorted a large sum of money to fill the national treasury, and also made a lot of money to repair and gild the Qingguo Temple.
The court officials were so frightened that they hurriedly took their daughters and granddaughters back to the capital, fearing that if they were late, there would be another nunnery on Yunxiang Mountain.
And they had to pay for the construction of this nunnery themselves;
Their daughters and granddaughters will have their heads shaved and stay on Yunxiang Mountain forever, accompanied by the green lamps and ancient Buddhas.
nunnery……
Haha... Your Majesty's move is absolutely amazing!
