Forgive Shen Mingzhu's sins, and Shen Mingzhu expresses his gratitude.
The next step was to reprimand Xiao Xian, accusing him of setting up a porridge shed without the permission of the court, and being suspected of demonstrating to the court.
These are actually nothing more than sophistry by the court. Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian can refute them casually. If giving porridge is a demonstration, then who will dare to do good deeds in the future?
When disaster victims are everywhere and no one does any good deeds, will the imperial court be able to cope with it on its own?
Furthermore, this was the betrothal gift he gave to Mingzhu, and the court actually used this as a way to demonstrate to the court and incite the people. It was really funny.
He also knew that this was the court's show. If he didn't reprimand him, it would appear that the court was incompetent. It would be a shame for the court to let him parade around with Shen Mingzhu, who had been executed.
So he didn't say anything. When Shen Can came, he said that he had to listen obediently. After all, this was his future father-in-law.
After Shen Can finally finished reciting the imperial edict, he showed his appearance and looked at Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian, "I'm finally back."
No one asked why Shen Mingzhu didn't die or how she escaped. Everyone agreed tacitly that there was no need to ask. Anyway, she came back alive.
If it were mentioned publicly, it would be a slap in the emperor's face, so everyone might as well pretend to have forgotten it and no one would mention it.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian performed the junior ceremony again, saluted Shen Can and invited him in to drink tea.
The other eunuchs and guards who came with them were naturally greeted by the stewards of the palace, each received a big red envelope, and were then taken to the side courtyard for tea and snacks.
Those people are also very discerning and cannot follow him into the living room of the palace.
When Shen Can saw that all the people watching had left, and it was just him and his two followers, he relaxed a lot. As soon as he entered the hall, his voice was choked up, "As long as it's okay, it's okay."
At this moment, he looked like a father who was worried about his children.
Shen Mingzhu looked at his already gray temples, her heart ached, and her originally cold heart softened.
"Father, you are not happy in court now."
She stepped forward and helped Shen Can sit down.
Shen Can smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm just dawdling around, and I can always pay attention to the dynamics of the court. Now that you are back, I feel relieved."
After saying a few words, he asked the two of them about their plans, especially Xiao Xian, "What plans does the prince have? The court cannot tolerate people now."
This can be regarded as indirectly telling Xiao Xian that the emperor will not let him go.
Xiao Xian smiled and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, Mingzhu and I have already made arrangements. No matter what they do, we are not afraid. If father-in-law feels unhappy, he can take a rest and go sightseeing to relax."
For the current situation, Xiao Xian doesn't need a father-in-law to help him keep an eye on the court. He can get the information he wants by himself.
But Shen Can shook his head, his eyes bright, "My daughter and son-in-law are back, and my son is also promising. If you want to become an official, I don't want to become an official. Let's see what old thief Yan can do."
Now Mr. Yan Ge is targeting him everywhere, always trying to drive him back home. Before his daughter and son-in-law came back, he would not be an official, and he would not be an official now.
Besides, Mingzhu is so smart and Xiao Xian is so intimidating. When they come back, people from Yan Ge's old group should be nervous. He has to stay and watch their excitement.
