Shen Yu has never been afraid of fate, and he has come through such a difficult situation in his previous life. No matter whether the order on him is intentional or not, he will not care. He always believes that the road is his own. .

"I will protect Ayu well, and no one will want to hurt you." Shang Junlin hugged Shen Yu tightly.

"Does your majesty believe what that man said? Does your majesty believe in fate?" Shen Yu leaned in the man's arms and asked softly.

"Fate?" Shang Junlin sneered, "I never believed in this, when I was a child, everyone let me accept my fate and be a prince who was abandoned in a corner, but I didn't, I never believed in the so-called fate, what do you want? , If you don't fight for it yourself, but blindly rely on the illusory fate, it is better to give up at the beginning."

Shen Yu smiled grimly: "What Your Majesty said is that I have never believed in fate. When I was a child, the servant girl in the house said in front of me more than once that I didn't have this fate, and I took the name of my son-in-law for nothing. , I thought at the time, so what, Shen Qingran and Ru Yi Niang think about it again, the fact that the first son is me will not change, I have to occupy this title, not only that, I will stand in the future where they can't Look down on them from the heights you can reach."

Facts have proved that Shen Yu has done it. No matter in the previous life or this life, he stood in a higher position than Shen Qingran's mother and son. What if Shen Qingran had the preference of King Yue in the previous life, he could only shrink when he saw him.

Shen Yu never wronged himself. In his previous life, he didn't like Shen Qingran, so he wouldn't force himself to befriend him. King Yue tried to repair their relationship several times, but it was only boring to beg him.

"Does your Majesty think I'm bad for this?"

"How could it be? Whatever Ayu does is right." Shang Junlin rubbed his cheek.

"If Your Majesty catches that person, I would like to see him." Maybe the two kings of Yue came to him because of this person, and Shen Yu was a little concerned about this person.

Shang Junlin, who wanted to catch the person and execute him on the spot, paused for a while. In private, he didn't want Shen Yu to touch that person.

"Ayu sees what he does, he's just a liar."

"Since he has accurately stated the name of 'the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei', he may have been active in the capital before, and what's more, maybe he has been to the Marquis of Zhenbei. I am a little curious about the identity of this person." If it is a liar, Let Shang Junlin solve it directly, if not, that person might be able to solve some doubts for him.

"Okay, but when you go to see him, take me with you."

Speaking of Shen Qingran, after Shang Junlin went to court the next morning, Shen Yu asked Mu Xi about the situation of Zhenbei Hou's mansion.

His people have been staring at Zhenbei Hou's mansion, and any movement will be directly passed on to Mu Xi.

"Shen Qingran has been very quiet during this time, and it seems that she has died down and stopped making noise. Ruyi Niang is also very quiet."

Shen Yu was a little surprised by this result. It stands to reason that Shen Qingran and Ru Yi Niang are not like people who would accept their fate obediently. Otherwise, they would not have tossed around in Zhenbei Houfu before.

Shen Yu thought well, how could Shen Qingran accept the current fate? He thinks that he has come from modern times, and it makes no sense that he can't fight against some ancient people. How can he be reconciled when he sees Shen Yu's life getting better and better?

When the summer was hot, he made a fuss and said he wanted to see Zhenbeihou, saying that he had something very important for him, but Zhenbeihou didn't see him at all. ice.

As soon as these words were spoken, before they could be reported to the Marquis of Zhenbei, the servant who delivered the letter laughed: "I said, Second Young Master, you should save your time, now that the imperial court uniformly sells ice at a low price, there is already an ice maker. There's a way, don't you just make an excuse to trick the Marquis to come here, right?"

"How is that possible?" Shen Qingran didn't believe it. He clearly remembered that Da Huan had no way of making ice. He was holding on to this method and wanted to make a better future for himself in the future. He didn't tell anyone, he grabbed the servant's shoulder. , with a grim expression on his face, "Did you lie to me? Did you get the benefit of depression and deliberately didn't let me see my father?"

"Second son," the little servant broke his hand with a cold face, "calling you 'Second son', you really think you are the same as before, why am I lying to you, you can ask if I lied or not? You, if it wasn't for the court selling ice at a low price, do you think that with your current situation, you can still use ice?"

The expression on Shen Qingran's face was blank for a moment. He never thought about this issue. Since he came across, he was favored like his aunt, and he was no less than Shen Yu's heir. During this time, he has also been Thinking about how to change the current situation, and how to climb back onto the gloomy head, I didn't even bother to pay attention to the changes around me.

"Not only you, but even the little ones can use ice. You can get a good night's sleep with a little money. Who wouldn't like it?" The summer in Beijing is really hot. When there was no money, they were by the owner's side during the day. Waiting, you can still take a sip of coolness, but at night there is no way, it is too hot to fall asleep.

"Besides the matter of being instructed by the eldest son, the eldest son is now living in the palace, how can he instruct the people in the palace through the heavy palace walls? Besides, your majesty will soon go to the palace to escape the summer, as the only person in your majesty's harem, majesty The son naturally has to be busy preparing for the summer, so how can you be in the mood to take care of your business?"

The little servant's words made Shen Qingran's face turn blue and white, especially the gloomy meaning in the little servant's words that he was living a good life now, which made him feel like sitting on pins and needles.

The little servant was angry here, and didn't want Shen Qingran to feel better at all. When he went back to Zhenbei Hou, he only said that his attitude was bad, and he didn't mention a word about the ability to make ice.

When going to the palace to escape the summer, Shen Qingran remembered that the Marquis of Zhenbei took him there when he was a child. This time, Marquis Zhenbei would definitely be able to go too, so this was his only chance.

He wants to tell the emperor in person that he is the one who should enter the palace, that Shen Yu has taken his place, and he wants to take this opportunity to return everything to its original position!

Unexpectedly, he waited and waited, but did not wait for Zhenbeihou to take him to the palace, but took another concubine in the house.

Shen Qingran was so angry that she smashed one of her favorite ornaments.

After Mu Xi finished speaking, he covered his mouth and smiled: "Master Hou scolded him again after he went back. Since then, Shen Qingran has been much quieter in Zhenbei Hou's mansion."

"Marquis Zhenbei is probably completely disappointed with this son." Shen Yu played with the empty teacup on the table.

"No, sir, don't you know that after the Marquis of Zhenbei returned from the summer palace, Shen Qingran made a lot of trouble, and ran to ask why Marquis Zhenbei didn't take him, whether he didn't take his son seriously. Here, Ruyi Niang finally made Zhenbei Hou feel a little guilty because of her tenderness, and she almost didn't get angry."

Speaking of this, a light flashed in Mu Xi's eyes. When they were in Zhenbei Hou's mansion, how arrogant were Shen Qingran and Ru Yiniang? Relying on Zhenbeihou's favor, how many bad things have you done to her son? Right now, it's finally retribution.

Shen Yu just remembered and suddenly asked. After knowing the situation of the two, he no longer paid attention to this matter. He looked at the place where the flowers and plants were placed, and raised his eyebrows: "Your Majesty sent someone to send flowers again?"

Among the bunch of flowers and plants, there was one more plant with huge yellow buds.

"When was this pot delivered?" Shen Yu looked at the flower and asked.

"It seems like two days ago?" Mu Xi's eyes flashed for a moment of confusion, "Why don't you have a lot of impressions on slaves, slaves asked someone to ask."

Mu Xi called the attendant who was in charge of taking care of the flowers and plants.

The waiter saw the flowers, recalled them for a moment, and replied, "This flower was sent by King An. King An heard that your nobleman likes flowers and plants, and specially found a precious one to send."

An Wang?

What does King An send flowers for no reason?

"Remove the flowers. In the future, only the flowers sent by His Majesty will be put here. You can find a separate place to put the flowers sent by others." Shen Yu instructed quietly.

"Yes." The waiter hurried forward and moved the flower away.

Shen Yu turned around and found no stranger flowers.

"It's the slave servant who was ineffective and didn't ask about this matter carefully." Mu Xi bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Just pay attention in the future, let the people below pay attention, and don't just collect flowers and plants of unknown origin." There are too many people who can do things on flowers and plants.

"Yes."

"Let's find someone to see what kind of flower that potted flower is, and by the way, check the origin of the flower."

"Yes."

"Young master, there is one more thing. Several people in the palace asked me if they could donate some money as well. Although it is not much, it is also a kind of heart." On the way back, Mu Xi asked.

"Um?"

"At that time, didn't the young master let many people in the palace watch "Return to Spring"? They have already looked for slaves several times and said that they hoped that they could also contribute."

At that time, after the "Return to Spring" was arranged, in order to test the effect, Shen Yu asked them to perform in the palace several times. There were no concubines in Shang Junlin's harem, so Shen Yu asked the palace people to listen. After the reaction.

"You can do your best, but you must warn them not to compare, just do your best, and leave this to you and Eunuch Meng."

Shen Yue also heard the news in the imperial concubine's palace, she couldn't help being stunned, and at the same time, she became more and more admired and depressed in her heart.

Donations outside the palace are managed by the imperial court, and Shen Yu in the palace can't be completely ignored, but with Mu Xi and Eunuch Meng in charge, it doesn't cost Shen Yu much.

Shang Junlin returned from court and heard Eunuch Meng talk about this on the way.

"If you want to tell me, your gentleman's method is really good. Now almost everyone is paying attention to Subei's affairs. What those Xiaoxiao want to do must be impossible."

"Well," Shang Junlin was proud in his heart, "Ayu can always solve my worries and problems."

When he arrived at Yuzhang Palace, Shen Yu was looking at the account book, which Mu Xi had sorted and handed over, about the donation from the palace staff.

"What is Ayu looking at?" Shang Junlin waved the palace servant to step back and walked to Shen Yu's side.

"Looking at the account books donated by the palace staff, there are more than I thought." Shen Yu handed one of the account books to Shang Junlin.

Shang Junlin took it and said: "The court has also sorted out a copy, which is much more than expected. In order to reduce the time spent on the road, I let them transport them directly from the original place to Subei, just for the garrison in various places. Do something."

"What about the reaction from the lord?"

"Maybe it's because of the New Year's Day that I was frightened in the capital. After the people from the imperial court passed by, what did they do? They were also very concerned about donations. Did Ayu receive anything from the lord?"

Shang Junlin did not forget that before the vassal king left the capital, he was brutally slaughtered by his A Yu.
