Yan Jingze has been very busy recently.
Su Moxiu is ill, so the Su family still doesn’t let him see him. Maybe it’s because he’s working in the Ministry of Justice…Those officials wish that he wouldn’t stick his hand in.
He had involved a large group of people in Cai Tinghe’s case before, which frightened the people in the Ministry of Justice.
Yan Jingze himself didn’t want to work in the Ministry of Justice, so he didn’t go to the Ministry of Justice very much. He ran to the palace every day, pestered Emperor Chengde, and asked Emperor Chengde to let him marry.
Emperor Chengde was terrified from being pestered, so he hid whenever he saw him, but there were always times when he couldn’t hide…
Today, Emperor Chengde was blocked by him again.
Emperor Chengde was also terrified of being entangled, so he finally said: “Well, if Su Moxiu agrees, I will have the cheek to go to Su Gu.”
His son probably won’t be able to return to normal, so let it be!
“That’s what you said!” Said Yan Jingze immediately.
“Yes, I said it!” Emperor Chengde said.
“Su Gu is celebrating his birthday, emperor father, aren’t you going? I will bring Su Moxiu to find you then!” Yan Jingze said.
He could feel that Su Moxiu liked him very much, so Su Moxiu must also agree.
“Are you in such a hurry?” Emperor Chengde asked. On Su Gu’s birthday, if he went to talk to him about it…Su Gu’s birthday is going to be difficult!
“If I’m not in a hurry, what if the Su family engaged Su Moxiu to someone else?” Yan Jingze asked.
This is really a problem, Su Moxiu is not young anymore either…
But Emperor Chengde was really annoyed when he saw his hapless son, and immediately said: “Okay, okay, get out! If you have the skills, why not pester Su Moxiu more! Make him promise you.”
“I’m going right now!” Yan Jingze said.
Yan Jingze did go to Su’s house again, but…still didn’t see the person.
What illness did Su Moxiu suffer from? Yan Jingze became more and more worried. He caught Su Gu and asked him several times, but Su Gu kept saying that he was fine, just a small problem.
Why did the little problem persist for so long?
If it wasn’t for making a good impression on Su Gu, Yan Jingze would have already broken into Su’s house.
While Yan Jingze was depressed because he couldn’t enter the Su family, the second prince, third prince, and fourth prince were even more depressed.
After Cai Tinghe’s case was clarified, their emperor father has been displeased with them all the time. Obviously, their father knew about their little tricks in private.
But what makes them most uncomfortable is not this matter, but the crown prince and old fifth, who have won their emperor father’s attention.
It’s alright for the crown prince, why old fifths too?
Most of Cai Tinghe’s case was solved by Su Moxiu, but old fifth took all the credit!
Old fifth has been running to the palace every day recently. According to the news they inquired, he wants to marry Prime Minister Su’s youngest daughter.
They are careless!
Why didn’t they think of Prime Minister Su’s youngest daughter earlier? After marrying this woman, even if prime minister Su Gu doesn’t help them on the surface, will he not help them secretly too?
Those civil servants related to Su Gu will definitely not bother them all day long.
Unfortunately, they all already have wangfei.
They are now, in fact, standing on the opposite side of the crown prince. They can’t stop even if they want to stop, but in the current situation, after they pull the crown prince down, they could maybe take advantage of old fifth.
Third Prince’s Mansion.
The third prince told his wangfei the situation outside, and then asked: “Zhaoluan, fifth brother’s request to marry Su family’s daughter…Can you stop it?”
Liu Zhaoluan said: “The solution is the way people thought. The more you think about it, the more you will have it…The most urgent thing is to do this as soon as possible.”
Liu Zhaoluan remembered that the fifth prince’s wife was indeed Su Gu’s daughter.
However, there are very few records about this Miss Su in the history books. As for those novels…those novels were written about the Su family, there was even a novel whose main character was the Su family daughter.
However, the Su family written by the author has a lot of concubine and concubine daughters, it was a mess. When she came to this dynasty, she only now knew that there was only one young lady in the Su family.
However, one thing is very clear, that is, in history, Su Gu has been helping Zhou Zhen in planning because Zhou Zhen married his daughter.
At the beginning of Zhou Zhen’s ascension to the throne, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince were not convinced, so they looked for a group of ministers to work against Zhou Zhen. They didn’t listen to Zhou Zhen’s orders, then with Su Gu and Zhou Zhen cooperation, these people who should be killed were killed, those who should be exiled are exiled.
Winner is king, loser is the outlaw. She can’t say that Zhou Zhen did something wrong, but her own family was one of those killed, and she doesn’t want to die.
Liu Zhaoluan discussed this with the third prince, and finally decided that when Su Gu celebrates his birthday, they will do something.
Of course, they can’t do it themselves, it’s better to make the second prince’s people do it.
If something like this happened, it would only be the second prince’s fault.
The third prince arranged for someone to be beside the second prince, and asked that person to talk to the second prince a lot, and even gave the second prince that idea.
If the fifth prince had a serious accident at Su Gu’s birthday banquet, then Emperor Chengde would definitely investigate, but if he just lost his morals after drinking, Emperor Chengde would just take him away and probably wouldn’t get to the bottom of it.
But like this…their father must be too embarrassed to ask Miss Su to marry their fifth younger brother.
The second prince discussed with the fourth prince, and immediately decided to bribe the Su family’s servants to give the fifth prince some medicine.
In a blink of an eye, it was Su Gu’s birthday.
The female family members and servants of the Su family have been busy for more than half a month. They cleaned the house in advance, and then bought a lot of things for the birthday party.
Then, today…it’s still dark, but the servants are all up and busy.
Su Moxiu also got up.
The servant brought breakfast to his room.
Two meat buns, a fried dough stick, and a bowl of bean curd.
Su Moxiu stared at the breakfast for a while, then picked up the bun and took a bite.
The Su family’s chef is very good at making buns. He has loved meat buns since he was a child, but at this moment, he can’t taste them at all.
When he was with the fifth prince before, when he ate every place like in the streets and alleys, everything he ate was delicious, but this half a month…he didn’t want to eat anything.
He wasn’t actually sick, but his head was dizzy and he couldn’t eat anything. He had a feeling that he was seriously ill.
The fifth prince…wants to marry his sister.
The fifth prince said he liked him, but wanted to marry his sister.
As soon as he thought of this matter, he felt heartbroken.
However, even if it’s like this, he still misses the fifth prince and wants to be with him.
He is clearly sick!
Su Moxiu, as usual, spurned himself while eating steamed buns with bean curd.
He chewed the buns into pieces, then took a sip of bean curd to swallow it, then just ate it in a mouthful, finally finished two buns, and then gave the fried sticks to his servant.
Oil is very expensive, so the fried golden and crispy dough sticks are generally not eaten by the servants. The servants around him happily ate the dough stick.
Seeing him like this, Su Moxiu smiled wryly.
Maybe he…just has too many good days, so he is cheap.
He obviously has enough food and clothing and his life is much better than ordinary people, but he just wants to fall in love with someone he shouldn’t like and make himself like this.
I wonder when the fifth prince will come…
Suddenly realizing that he thought of the fifth prince again, Su Moxiu’s face turned pale.
At this moment, the steward came over and asked him to clean up and go out to entertain guests.
Just as Su Moxiu guessed, on the day his father celebrates his birthday, he will be able to go out.
A few days ago, his mother had already delivered the clothes he was going to wear today, so Su Moxiu changed into his clothes and went out.
He went to see his mother first.
Mother Su didn’t know that he was imprisoned by his father, so she only thought that he was really unwell. After seeing him, she was worrying about him for a long time. His third brother and younger sister also ask about his health.
Su Moxiu talked to them with a smile, hiding the guilt in his heart.
His family cares about him, but he wronged them.
He still…wants to be with the fifth prince.
Even if the fifth prince doesn’t want him.
Seeing that Su Moxiu was fine, Mother Su asked Su Moxiu to go to the front yard to receive guests.
There are not many Su family members, and Su Moxiu’s eldest brother is also out, so there are not enough people now.
In the front yard, Su Gu saw Su Moxiu and asked, “Have you changed your mind?”
Su Moxiu was silent.
Su Gu couldn’t help but say: “Evil creature!”
Su Gu looked at Su Moxiu bitterly, and stopped talking.
Su Moxiu bowed to Su Gu, then went to receive those guests who did not need to be received by Su Gu himself.
Although he has just reached adulthood, he has been in the officialdom for three years. He is familiar with these things, and others also won’t come to make things difficult for him. Naturally, the host and guest enjoy themselves.
At this moment, someone suddenly reported that the fifth prince had arrived.
It’s still early, and most of the people who came were relatives of the Su family and some small officials. With his status as the fifth prince, he should have come later.
Such a thought flashed through Su Moxiu’s mind. However, he still greeted the person in front of him, then said he was going to receive the fifth prince, and left in a hurry.
After half a month, Su Moxiu saw the fifth prince again.
The fifth prince still looked the same, without any change. When he saw him, he still smiled.
“Ziyan! Long time no see! Are you alright?” Yan Jingze asked.
“I’m fine.” Su Moxiu couldn’t help smiling seeing the fifth prince’s smile.
“You’ve lost weight…What’s wrong with you? You have to rest for so long?” Yan Jingze asked again.
“My illness is a minor illness, but there are many things at home these days, so I stay at home to help.” Su Moxiu explained.
“So that’s how it is.” Yan Jingze talked non-stop with Su Moxiu, so Su Gu came over in a hurry, then directly said to him: “Prime Minister, don’t worry about me! Ziyan and I are good friends, I want to talk to him.”
Yan Jingze is the prince after all, he has said so…Prime Minister Su can only leave.
Yan Jingze came so early, the news spread quickly, so many people who originally wanted to come later came here early.
They were also very grateful that they had come early – after a while, the crown prince also came too! He also brought the crown princess and the little imperial grandson!
As soon as the crown prince arrived, the second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince arrived together.
The ostentation of Prime Minister Su’s birthday banquet was astonishing!
That’s alright but those with high official positions know one thing – Emperor Chengde will also come.
It’s a great honor for his majesty to come here to congratulate Prime Minister Su on his birthday!
The officials of the imperial court have great admiration for Prime Minister Su.
At this moment, Su Gu was accompanied by several princes, a stiff smile on his face.
He didn’t want such an honor.
Especially…The fifth prince has been following his son, these princes even asked about his son.
Fortunately, when they were seated, everyone separated.
Su Gu greeted and arranged everyone’s seat early.
Yan Jingze: “…” He still wants to talk to Su Moxiu!
Yan Jingze really wanted to sit with Su Moxiu, but it was obviously impossible. He arranged to sit with the other princes.
Not only that, Su Gu also called Su Moxiu away and asked Su Moxiu to go to the kitchen to have a look.
T/N: Su Gu birthday gonna be very eventful lol
