Chapter 373 Uneasy situation
On the third day of February, the regent returned to Zhaojing from an outing. That night he sent a message to Shao Mansion, asking Shao Wanyun to miss his father and asking Shao Jiang to come with him for dinner.
Shaojiang knew that this was just an excuse for the regent to use Shao Wanyun. He must be in trouble. Despite this, Shaojiang went anyway.
The palace had already prepared a table of sumptuous dishes. The regent greeted him with a smile, and there was nothing unusual about it. Huo Yuchu and Shao Wanyun were also by his side.
Everyone sat down. At first, the regent was joking with Shao Jiang and talking about some irrelevant things. Then he talked about the floods in the south. Shao Wanyun just sat aside and listened without interrupting.
When dinner came to an end, the regent said, "Brother Shao, I returned to Zhaojing today and heard some gossip. I know that the prince is not on good terms with you, but he will not make things difficult for Quanzi and Wanyun, right?
"
As soon as these words came out, everyone had different expressions, especially Shao Wanyun, who was extremely embarrassed.
Shao Wanyun knew what those gossips were. It was just that the matter between her and Dieyi was known to the prince a while ago, and Dieyi was the prince's man, so some unpleasant rumors spread. The most fearful thing about rumors is that the people who tell them are unintentional.
Listen carefully, if everyone really believes those rumors, then Shao Wanyun is now the daughter-in-law of the regent, where will she be?
Shao Wanyun, who had been silent all this time, had to speak now. He wanted to speak immediately, but Huo Yuchu beat him to it, "Father, what you hear is false. You can't just believe in gossip. Wanyun and I are still married, and Wanyun still treats me.
How can our friendship be fake?"
Shao Jiang also said seriously, "Prince Regent, you and I have been brothers for so many years, don't you believe me?"
The regent sighed. Everyone misunderstood what he meant and waved their hands, "Brother Shao, you and I are brothers who have been through life and death. How can I not believe you? I mean, why is the prince doing this? You and me.
We all know who he is, so what does it have to do with him if Quanzi marries your beloved daughter? Is it possible that he doesn’t want you and me to be friends with each other? But he has known about our relationship a long time ago. If he is afraid of you and me,
If a person's power is growing day by day, then he should take action against you and me. Why bother embarrassing two children? They are all insignificant people in the face of the situation."
The regent has seen the clues. He and Shaojiang have been friends for decades. Naturally, he will not say anything too unpleasant, but what he wants today is a fact. Now, Shaojiang can't hide it, and he is quite helpless.
He replied, "Shao Wanyun was ignorant before and fell in love with one of the prince's subordinates."
Immediately, the regent understood everything, and all the questions in his mind were solved. However, this made Shao Wanyun embarrassed. She stood up, saluted the regent, and said, "Father, before
It is true that Shao Wanyun is stupid. But Wanyun did not hide it intentionally. Wanyun sincerely wants to marry her husband, but Wanyun also knows her fault. If her father cares about this matter, Wanyun is willing to let you go.
For this engagement, let’s find another good woman to be our daughter-in-law.”
After hearing this, Sher Zhengwen immediately became anxious, "Wanyun, do you know what you are talking about?"
Shao Wanyun looked at Huo Yuchu in embarrassment, with a hint of sadness on her face, but things could not be changed, and she had no choice. The Yin family and the Shao family were both high-ranking officials, and their marriages involved too many things that she could not control.
everything.
Huo Yuchu immediately stood up and said to the regent resolutely, "Father, it is rare for a son to fall in love with a woman. In this life, the son will not marry anything but Wanyun."
Shao Wanyun raised her eyes slightly and looked at Huo Yuchu at this moment with her peripheral vision. The anxiety and sincerity on her face made her heart heat up.
The regent frowned and waved his hands towards Shao Wanyun and Huo Yuchu, "Who said I would abort this marriage? You two children, don't be impatient and sit down first."
Huo Yuchu felt at ease now. The two of them took their seats. The regent said to Shao Jiang, "Brother Shao, if this is the case, we can't just sit back and wait for death."
Shao Jiang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "What does the regent mean?"
The regent thought for a moment and replied, "You and I both know the prince's temper. Since he has the intention to hinder, he will definitely cause an uproar."
Shaojiang thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed possible. He would lose all face by then, and he was afraid that the situation would be difficult to control.
Shao Jiang immediately asked, "What's the regent's clever plan?"
The regent sat there and said, "As long as we do something without telling the prince, by the time he finds out, it will be a done deal."
Shao Jiang nodded in agreement, thought deeply for a long time, and said, "It happened that the imperial court obtained several pieces of land in Minli a few months ago, and it has been idle and unattended. This morning, an official reported to your majesty that there were Turks there, and the regent
Wang Dake would like to ask Your Majesty to let the prince go to take charge of the matter. This trip will take dozens of days at the earliest."
After hearing this, the regent thought carefully and nodded, "This plan is feasible. The prince has always wanted to take over these places. He will not refuse. Let's take advantage of him to leave Zhaojing for a few days and hurry up."
The matter is done. As for the palace, I will find a way, there are my people in the palace."
Shao Jiang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning, I will start playing to Your Majesty. Calculating the time, we don't have much time, so we have to hurry up."
Feeling the pressure, the regent breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Shao, don't worry. When have you and I been defeated together?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, each drinking a glass of wine.
After dinner, Shao Wanyun followed Shao Jiang and left the palace.
When he got on the carriage, Shao Jiang's tone was slightly dissatisfied, "Wanyun, do you now know how scary the prince is?"
Shao Wanyun was silent, sitting there with an embarrassed look on her face. She was just a simple and ignorant girl in the boudoir at first, but now she understands the mystery of this.
After a long time, Shao Jiang said again, "This marriage is based on the decades of friendship between my father and the regent. Otherwise, it will definitely be nothing. You have provoked people you shouldn't provoke, as long as it is the prince who wants to make trouble."
Well, which mansion do you think would dare to marry you?"
This Shao Wanyun had already realized that the Prince Regent risked the future prince's hatred by marrying her. This shows how deep the friendship between the Yin family and the Shao family is, and it is even more suspicious to know how much Huo Yuchu loves her. The more so,
Shao Wanyun regretted it more and more. If he had understood this earlier, how could he have been like that?
Shao Wanyun bit her lip with difficulty, closed her eyes sadly, took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She expected that in this troubled world, just because of the presence of the prince, she would definitely have to overcome obstacles.
