C121

Inside the city gates, the Sixth Prince, Shen Yu Su, was leading the way.

It was unknown whether it was because they hadn't seen each other in a month or because Shen Yu Su was sitting on her horse, but Feng Ning Yan felt that he was much taller than when they first met at the General's Estate.

Shen Yu Su jumped down from her horse, bowed and said: "Sixth Brother pays his respects to Brother Yu and Sister Wang."

"Yu Su, no need to be courteous." Shen Ling Jue also praised Shen Yu Su's sturdy body and smiled, "To return to the capital from Ningnan County, your body has grown quite a bit. I wonder if you have improved in martial arts?"

Shen Yu Su shyly looked at Feng Ning Yan, scratched her head and said, "In front of brother Wang and sister-in-law who both know both the arts and culture, how could sixth brother dare to say that he's improving?"

"You'll know when you have time to spar." Feng Ning Yan laughed.

Shen Yu Su's face turned red: "Aunt Wang is saying, why don't you spar with Yu Su?"

Shen Ling Jue laughed: "Why not?"

Shen Yu Su's eyes lit up with anticipation and nodded her head: "Okay!"

At this moment, the other two horses arrived. They were the Head Steward of the Heaven's Expanse Palace, Wu Nian En, and the fourth rank Imperial Guard, Sikong Qing.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone knew that the Emperor had sent someone to bring back King Yu and Princess Wangfei for them.

The guards at the gate all shrank back, and even the barricades were quickly carried away.

When Commander Li heard that the Sixth Prince had arrived with Chief Eunuch Wu and Sikong Jing, he hurriedly went forward to plead his grievances.

However, before he could even open his mouth to accuse Feng Ning Yan of blinding him, Wu Nian En scolded him, "I haven't even left the city when I heard that some blind bastard is blocking His Highness' carriage. So it really is true. Who gave you the guts? "

Commander Li felt extremely wronged. "It's too …"

"How dare you argue against something so outrageous!" Shen Yu Su didn't expect that this sixth grade Battalion Commander would actually dare to stop the Great Yue State, so she kicked Commander Li to the ground. "Lord Sikong, this thief shall be handed over to you to deal with."

Sikong Jing accepted the order and had the Imperial Guards drag Commander Li away.

Wu Nian En smiled apologetically. "Your highness Prince Yu, please don't blame the Sixth Prince and his servant for coming late."

Shen Yu Sura stopped Shen Ling Jue, "Let's not talk about this over this wind. Imperial Father and the empress dowager have already prepared a banquet to wash the dust away for the brothers. Let's quickly enter the palace! "

Feng Ningyan heard that. "Brother Wang? Could it be … Prince Cheng is back? "

Shen Yu Su said as she walked: "Yes, Brother Cheng came back from Henan Province to provide assistance. Coincidentally, he entered the capital today, so he entered the palace a step earlier than you."

Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan looked at each other. They knew that Prince Cheng would not let go of this opportunity to establish his power.

"I've just returned to the capital, and now I have to meet someone I don't want to meet. How unsatisfying …"

Feng Ning Yan grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Shen Ling Jue helped her onto the horse and said with a smile, "Once you enter this city gate, even if you win the wager with this duke, won't the wangfei be happy?"

Feng Ningyan suppressed her laughter and rolled her eyes at him. "Hmph, I already told you that I don't care about your winnings, what's there to be happy about?"

Seeing how the two of them were looking at each other, Shen Yu Su was moved and envious.

Wu Nian En saw Shen Yu Su's envy and smiled: "Sixth Prince, you don't have to be envious of others. Wu Nian En saw Shen Yu Su's jealousy and smiled:" Sixth Prince, you don't have to be envious of others, you are also old enough to be married.

Shen Yu Su turned around and thought to herself, "There is no other girl as good as elder sister Feng …"

Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan rode their horses into the palace until they dismounted from their horses and rode with Shen Yu Su towards the direction of the Empress Dowager's Thousand Blessings Palace.

At this moment, banquets had already been set up in front of the palace. The emperor and empress dowager sat side by side, while Imperial Concubine Su stood to the left of the empress dowager, talking and laughing.

Meanwhile, Hua Ruyu was also standing on the right side of the emperor. Even though she wasn't considered to be the master of the palace, she was standing there arrogantly. Clearly, she felt that she was superior.

At this moment, Shen Youhuang walked out from the imperial garden. She was travel worn as she hurried over and knelt on the ground. "Your son greets Imperial Father, the empress dowager, and Imperial Concubine Fu."

The emperor quickly beckoned for Shen You Huang to take her seat. Shen You Huang looked at the seat next to the emperor, her heart surging with emotion. She hesitated for a moment before sitting down.

Before today, other than the Queen, Shen Lingjue was probably the only one who could sit by the Emperor's side and eat with him.

And today, he could finally sit in this seat as well. What did this mean? He finally had a place in royal father's heart.

As soon as he sat down, the emperor eagerly asked about the disaster at Henan Province.

"My son and I have been following the Yellow River to change routes, storing food, settling the victims, and eliminating the epidemic situation. Most of the refugees have now successfully moved to the towns on the north bank of the Yellow River. Now Henan Province is working hard to build new dykes and rebuild destroyed towns. "

Shen Youhuang answered cautiously and proudly.

The emperor nodded and continued, "It's not a long term plan to store food in the city, and there's suddenly a large number of victims in the towns around. It must be under a lot of pressure."

Shen Youhuang smiled happily. "Yes, your son has also considered this issue, so when we were rebuilding the towns, we divided the surrounding wastelands and distributed them to the affected people for cultivation. The grains have already been distributed to the families.

"Good!" Well done! " The emperor couldn't help but pat Shen Youhuang on the shoulder. He was both surprised and delighted. "I really didn't think that the usually meek fourth elder would be able to manage things on his own and with great care and meticulousness!"

When the empress dowager heard this, she was extremely happy as well. "He's also a good child …"

Hua Ruyu, who was at the side, raised her eyes to look at Shen Youhuang as she spoke softly behind the emperor:

"In the past, Prince Cheng was like an unpolished treasured sword, but he also blamed His Majesty for doting on the princes and princes. "Now that there's a chance to repay Da Yue and the Emperor's grace, he can show his strength. This servant congratulates Your Majesty. From today onwards, I will be able to do my best to support you by your side."

His words were clever. First, he praised Shen Youhuang, and secondly, he flattered the emperor. The emperor looked at Shen Youhuang with even greater satisfaction.

The empress dowager and Imperial Concubine Fu were busy with the matter of the talent show and only knew that Hua Ruyu was favored by the emperor, but didn't know what was so special about her.

From the looks of it, Hua Ruyu's mouth was unusually sweet, and her flattery made the emperor feel extremely comfortable.

Today, the emperor had come to a banquet at the Palace with a palace maid. The empress dowager originally wanted to say a few words to him, but was dissuaded by Imperial Concubine Shi, so when she heard Hua Ruyu's tone of voice, the empress dowager felt completely uncomfortable.

Just as the empress dowager wanted to reprimand Hua Ruyu for her impudence, she saw a group of people walking in from outside the Penglai clan. They were Shen Lingjue, Feng Ning Yan, Shen Yu Su, and the rest.

When the empress dowager saw her, she immediately forgot about Hua Ruyu.

"Jue'er, Yu'er, little girl Feng, come quickly!" Her Majesty waved them to go faster.

Shen Yu Su skipped over to the empress dowager's side and said with a smile, "Imperial Father, empress dowager, your son has brought brother Yu and his wife back!"
