After Hua Moer followed Hua Luxiu back, Shen Qing Wan also felt very comfortable. Furthermore, Liu Chu Rong rarely came to look for trouble with her, so she was quite happy.
It was the beginning of winter, and the weather was not too cold. Thus, he took this opportunity to hold a poetry gathering in the palace. All the famous girls that were invited to Beijing came over. Firstly, they could communicate with each other, and secondly, they could observe the movements of the various families.
The palace was also bustling with activity because of this matter. There were busy palace maids and eunuchs everywhere, and everyone was very happy. Seeing Fu Yuheng and Xiao Shushen coming over to pay their respects.
"Alright, get up." Fu Yuheng was in a good mood and treated the Palace People nicely as well. At this time, Xiao Shushen who was following behind him could only smile and maintain a dignified manner.
Everyone loved this kind of peaceful times, and he was no exception. However, there were always people fighting for power that caused the entire palace to be filled with miasma.
A fierce look flashed across Fu Yuheng's eyes. Since he wanted to take the items from him, he would have to prepare to trade with his life!
"This humble subject pays respects to Your Majesty, Empress. May Your Majesty live for tens of thousands of years, and the Empress live for thousands of years." At this moment, the sound of a bow came from behind him.
Hearing this, Fu Yuheng frowned, almost indiscernible. He then turned his head and saw the Prime Minister Liu's respectful appearance, "Exempt from formalities. Now that we're in the imperial government, it's all thanks to the Prime Minister Liu." Recently, he had been acting like he was the best in the court. If he didn't know what personality he had, he would have been tricked by the respectful look on his face.
"The Emperor is too kind. His Majesty is wise and wise, and this old subject is only doing small things for the Emperor." Although Prime Minister Liu knew what Fu Yuheng meant, he still forced himself to speak.
Liu Chu Rong had finally gotten his favour again after much difficulty. Originally, he had wanted to rely on her to contribute to the family. However, recent events had occurred in the harem, so he could only stabilize himself before making his plans. After all, Fu Huaiyu still had to make more plans.
"Your majesty, chenqie will first go inside and take a look at the ladies of the various families." Seeing the two of them talking, Xiao Shushen knew that it was inappropriate for him to be here. She whispered a greeting into Fu Yuheng's ear, and then bowed slightly.
"Mm, go ahead." Fu Yuheng did not stop Xiao Shushen as he watched him enter. Only then did he return to the Prime Minister Liu to exchange pleasantries with him.
"This humble subject dares to ask Your Majesty, I wonder how my daughter is doing. I heard that he was shocked when he fell into the water a few days ago. " After Xiao Shushen left, the Prime Minister Liu could not help but ask. His own daughter had been bullied in the palace not only to herself, but also to the entire prime minister's estate, so he had no choice but to ask.
Fu Yuheng had other intentions when he heard this. Of course, he knew that Liu Chu Rong had fallen into the water. It was because Third Princess Fu Lingling loved to play and was not careful, that she pushed Liu Chu Rong into the water.
However, both of them were fathers, so he doted on the weird Fu Lingling a lot. Furthermore, Liu Chu Rong and Fu Huaiyu were in cahoots, so how could he look good?
"It's nothing serious now, it's just that I've had a bit of a cold, and I've already had the best tonics sent over by the Grand Hospital. "My beloved concubine has always been healthy and healthy, I am much more at ease." It was not a bad thing for him for Liu Chugrong to fall into the water. Just by looking at Shen Qingwan, he felt much less troubled.
"This old official thanks Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of my daughter. However, the emperor is also a father, so he should understand this old official's vexation. After all, this old subject is of flesh and blood, and has been wronged. This old subject's heart aches a lot! " Fu Yuheng wanted to side with him on purpose, but he insisted on holding on to him. On the surface, however, he looked as if he was in deep pain.
"Mn, regarding Third Princess, I have already punished her with a punishment, but she is still a child after all. Presumably, my beloved concubine will not bother with her." Fu Yuheng knew that he would not easily compromise and had already thought of an excuse. Since he did not want to pursue the matter any further, then what reason did he have to lecture even as a father?
At this point, Prime Minister Liu also understood Fu Yuheng's intention. It was obvious that he would not pursue the matter. "Your Majesty is right." This humble subject didn't have any other intentions, it's just that Chu Rong is this humble subject's most beloved daughter. I hope your majesty can forgive me. "
Prime Minister Liu's words were sincere, but he was naturally unwilling to do so. However, even if it was so, he definitely wouldn't dare to lose all decorum with him at this time. Now that Fu Huaiyu's grand plan had failed, in the end, he was still a prince. If Fu Yuheng gave his order, the whole world would probably shake violently.
"Mm. It's good that you know it." Fu Yuheng nodded and was silent for a moment before speaking again, "Without the General Shen in this court, I'm afraid we won't be able to remain safe in the future. Now that you have less of a threat, I will have to trouble Prime Minister Liu to take care of you. " He had noticed everything that he had done recently, and now that there were no longer any restraints on him, he became even more arrogant.
"Yes, this humble subject will remember that this humble subject will also bring up a few more officials in the future." Having been an official for so many years, the Prime Minister Liu naturally understood Fu Yuheng's meaning. This was a reminder to him that if he did not restrain himself, his achievements would likely be great and the consequences would be unending. His face was full of fear, but he still complied.
Fu Yuheng left without even looking at him, leaving Prime Minister Liu standing on the spot, his hand covered in cold sweat. He only hoped that the fact that he had defected to the Ninth Prince's side would not be discovered, and he even hoped that the Ninth Prince could act faster.
The poetry meet had already begun, and all the ladies were no longer restrained in their rooms, but were full of liveliness. However, this was the palace, so he could not lose face for himself.
"Whose daughter is this? "It doesn't look too bad." Shen Qingwan watched on the side and was in a very good mood. When she was in her room, she also liked to read some books, but her martial arts skills were not wasted either.
"Reporting to the Empress, this is Minister Liu's daughter, Liu Nian." She's famous in the capital for being a talented girl. " Hearing her question, Lian Yun immediately spoke up.
Shen Qingwan nodded her head, it seems that the ladies this time are all not bad.
"This is the daughter of the Vice Minister Li, Li Yin." Lian Yun pointed to another lady in a red dress and said. Li Yin had been pampered since he was young, so he was not very popular amongst the ladies, but he was also a bit talented.
Looking up, a woman in a green gown walked forward and said, "The early snow shadows rise to the sun, the plum blossoms are shameful. "To cherish a king is undesirable, but to ponder over such a thing is to be unable to sell." She was dignified and elegant as she walked, and her actions did not lack the spirit of everyone. When he finished, he attracted the applause of the crowd.
"Sister Liu is really talented. I'm not as talented as you." Liu Nian nodded, his tone carrying a trace of humility.
