Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1353

Chapter 1353

Yao Sheng returned to Yu Sheng Pavilion with a list of names in his hand, feeling heavy-hearted.

Tang Chujun carefully looked through the list from top to bottom, "Are these the people my son-in-law wants to invite?"

Yao Sheng nodded, "Chu Jun, what is Yuan'er going to do?"

Tang Chujun's eyelids twitched violently. "It would be fine if you invited the emperor, but you also invited the prince? Are you asking Long Yun to protect you?"

She didn't expect that a casual word from her would touch upon the truth.

In the palace.

Emperor Mingde asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

Cen Yuan was silent for a moment, "If I was sure, why would I ask the True Dragon Emperor to protect me?"

"Nonsense!" Emperor Mingde's face darkened upon hearing this. "I won't allow you to take even the slightest risk."

Cen Yuan frowned and said nothing, just sitting in a chair beside him in a daze.

After a long while, the helpless Emperor Mingde summoned Shen Siyuan and Liang Yanbing to the palace for an audience.

By the time they left the palace, it was already dark.

The invitations to the plum blossom banquet sent by the Young Master's Mansion have been delivered to each household.

In a house in the south of the city, the Shi family was having dinner.

After Shi Yunzhou finished a few bites of his meal, he slipped away to the study to study hard.

He thought that if he worked harder today, he could make up for the time he would have to spend at the banquet tomorrow.

Shi Chengyi stopped him and said, "You don't have to go tomorrow."

Shi Anxue looked up in surprise and asked, "Father, why? I want to go see Sister Xia'er."

Shi Yunzhou put down his raised foot and sat back at the table. He asked the same question, "Why?"

Yu Sujun had the same expression as the children, waiting for her husband to reply.

Shi Chengyi lowered his brows and spoke in a very calm voice, "It is said that the flower viewing banquet at the Young Master's Mansion tomorrow will be attended by influential people in the court. It would not be appropriate for our family to go."

Yu Sujun didn't react, "We are Xia'er's closest relatives, why is it inappropriate?"

Shi Yunzhou also said, "Tomorrow is the winter solstice, maybe Sister Xia'er will wake up." He suddenly whispered mysteriously, "I heard that even the emperor and the prince will get to kiss this time."

Shi Anxue blinked her big eyes and said, "Then we must go and see the excitement."

Only then did Cheng Yi frown more and more, and finally said, "Then you guys go, I won't go. I don't feel well, I want to rest at home."

In the evening, when Yu Sujun saw that Shi Chengyi was not returning to his room for a long time, she personally brought him some Tremella soup.

"Take a break and drink some Tremella soup." She saw that he had lost a lot of weight in recent days and didn't know what had happened. "Worrying too much will hurt your mind. Anyway, you don't have to worry about going to court, so you should take more rest."

Shi Chengyi felt a little annoyed when he heard this, and raised his eyes, "Are you blaming me?"

Yu Sujun was startled, "No. Why do you say that, husband?"

"You blame me for demoting myself to save Anxin's life." Shi Chengyi looked at his wife's face without blinking, "But I can't help it, Sujun, she is my daughter!"

"Husband, An Xin grew up under my watch." Yu Sujun looked bewildered, "I'm not unhappy that you saved her."

Shi Chengyi shook his head and stopped looking at Yu Sujun. "I'm sorry, I'm just in a bad mood."

He himself regretted that he should not have easily traded his future for something else, and he also hated that he could not serve the court during the period of mourning. Seeing that all the positions were filled, he was extremely anxious.

Shi Chengyi had not cared about it for a few days, and his eyes were dark and his ears were not listening to what was happening outside. Even when he saw some personnel changes in "Yingjing Weekly", he felt that it had nothing to do with him.

But things were different after he met Emperor Mingde. He found that Emperor Mingde was hostile to him.

He had sensed Emperor Mingde's hostility long before.

At that time, he still didn't understand why. It was not until he found out that Emperor Mingde had feelings for Tang Chujun that he finally understood where the other party's hostility came from.

Now that the emperor has a grudge against him, can he still have a bright future?

Shi Chengyi concealed his brow and the distress in his heart, but he couldn't say it to his wife, so he could only bury his head in reading.
