Chapter 926: The Minister of Rites Entrusted with Important Tasks
After hearing what Old Madam Xue said, Empress Luan Xiying was delighted, "Since Auntie said so, then Aying will have to go to the Anguo Mansion more often in the future!
Not only does my aunt love me here, there are also fairy fruits and delicious food, and our Yue'er's great cooking skills!
Empress Luan Xiying lowered her voice and said, "Isn't there a saying like that?
It's called 'eat well, run well'; only fools who aren't greedy would run here!
Queen Luan Xiying made everyone laugh with just one sentence!
Leng Rongyue stood up and walked to the side hall. In the blink of an eye, she came out again, holding two large food boxes in her hands.
Xiao Jingyu hurried forward to take it and handed the two large food boxes to Yu Feng and Feng Guang who were waiting outside the door.
Everyone escorted Emperor Hongde and Empress Luan Xiying out of the palace.
Xiao Jingyu walked to Leng Rongyue's side and whispered, "Yue'er, I'll send my father and mother back to the palace and return immediately!"
Leng Rongyue smiled and nodded, "No rush, it's still early!"
After watching the emperor and empress get on the carriage and the carriage gradually go away and turn the corner and disappear from sight, the Anguo family turned around and went back home.
They returned to the second hall and sat down. The relaxed expression they had when they said farewell was no longer on their faces.
Even the female members of the family understood that the men who stayed in the hall after they left must be discussing important state affairs.
Seeing the serious expressions on the faces of the men in the family, they became more certain that what they had just discussed must be very serious!
Madam Xue looked at the Duke of Anguo, his father, his sons, his grandparents, and his grandchildren, and asked softly, "Do you still want to continue discussing important matters?
Do you want us women to step aside?"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng shook his head, "No need!
It’s good that you know something about what I just said. After all, the Emperor’s birthday will be in a few days, and envoys from all countries will come to Beijing to attend the Emperor’s birthday banquet.
As wives of officials with high ranks, you and your daughters must naturally attend.
Some people and some things will have to be faced in due time.
The sooner you understand the situation and the more prepared you are, the better you will be able to deal with it when you encounter people or situations!"
"But which country's envoys have problems?"
Madam Xue asked tentatively.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng looked at Madam Xue and nodded approvingly, "That's right!
On the occasion of the Emperor's longevity, envoys from all over the world came to offer congratulations.
However, the purpose of the envoys from various countries coming to Jingyue is not just to congratulate the emperor on his thousand years!
Especially in Eastern Venezuela.”
Duke Anguo Fu Peng took a deep breath before continuing, "It has been verified that the Dongwei envoys came to Jingyue using a trick—"
Their crown prince had already sneaked into Jingyue a month ago and is currently hiding in the capital!
And in their delegation, there is another fake crown prince who is put on the surface as a cover!"
“Real or fake crown prince?
So... why do they do this?
Or...are they going to do something detrimental to our Jingyue Nation?"
Old Madam Xue looked at Duke Anguo Fu Peng in surprise.
"exactly!"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng nodded.
"The Crown Prince of Dongwei is in collusion with King Yi!"
"Heh... Prince Yi is truly a madman!
Is there something wrong with his brain?
He has evil intentions and intends to seize the throne, so he deserves to die!
He actually colluded with the Crown Prince of Dongwei to harm Jingyue... He deserves death!"
Second Madam Zheng Suyao was so surprised and furious!
"That's not all!"
Second Master Fu Yingze spoke up, "That Crown Prince of Dongwei not only colluded with Prince Yi to plot against Jingyue, he also set his sights on Yue'er, and he's determined to get her!"
"what?
The Crown Prince of Dongwei is also setting his sights on Yue'er?
snort!
It’s true!
Fish seek fish, shrimp seek shrimp, and turtles seek big turtles!
Birds of a feather flock together, it's true.
Knowing that our Yue'er had been granted marriage by the Emperor and was engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Yu, our cousin Prince Yi was tempted by her beauty and shamelessly set his sights on Yue'er.
Now, that damn Crown Prince of Dongwei who was in collusion with him has also set his sights on Yue'er!
They...they all deserve to die!"
Seeing her second aunt, who was so angry that her fists were clenched and her eyebrows were raised, Leng Rongyue hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea into the second wife's hand and gently comforted her, "Second aunt, we are not angry!
It’s not worth getting mad at those scum!
If they want to take advantage of Yue'er, will Yue'er just quietly let them do what they want?
How can it be?
Didn’t my second aunt just say that they all deserve to die!
Since they all deserve to die, let them all die!"
"Yue'er, you said that...but do you have any countermeasures?"
Madam Huo Chanyu looked at Leng Rongyue and asked.
"My aunt guessed right!
Let’s take it step by step and deal with those who are looking for death one by one!
Oh, right……"
As Leng Rongyue was speaking, she caught sight of the Third Young Master, Fu Mingxiu, who was carrying a fruit plate from the nearby table and was pinching cherries into his mouth...
"Grandma, my eldest and second aunts don't know yet, but my third brother got a promotion!
My third brother is no longer an editor in the Hanlin Academy.
Not long ago, the emperor issued an oral decree here, appointing my third brother as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, which is three promotions in a row!
At this juncture, the Emperor has allowed my third brother to join the Ministry of Rites and entrusted him with important tasks. My third brother's future is limitless!"
