Shen Yu was never afraid of fate. In his previous life, he was able to overcome the difficult situation. Regardless of whether his fate was intentional or not, he did not care. He always believed that he had to walk his own path.
"I will protect A Yu. No one can hurt you." Shang Junlin hugged Shen Yu tightly.
"Does Your Majesty believe what that person said? Does Your Majesty believe in fate? "Shen Yu leaned into the man's arms and asked softly.
"Fate?" Shang Junlin snorted, "I have never believed in such things. When I was young, everyone told me to accept my fate and become an abandoned prince. But I did not. I have never believed in the so-called fate. If you want something, don't fight for it yourself and blindly rely on fate, you might as well give it up from the beginning."
Shen Yu gave a muffled laugh and said, "Your Majesty is right. I have never believed in fate. When I was young, the servant girls and manservants in the fu told me more than once that I didn't have this fate and that I had taken the title of di son for nothing. At that time, I thought, so what? No matter how much Shen Qingran and Yiniang Ru think, the fact that the di son is mine will not change. I must take this title. Not only that, I will stand at a height that they can't reach in the future and look down on them."
The facts proved that Shen Yu did it. Whether in his previous life or this life, he stood at a position higher than Shen Qingran and his son. In his previous life, Shen Qingran was favored by Emperor Yue. When he met Shen Yu, he could only obediently shrink back.
Shen Yu never wronged himself. In his previous life, he did not like Shen Qingran, so he did not force himself to be on good terms with him. Emperor Yue tried to repair their relationship several times, but he was rejected.
"Will Your Majesty think that I am not good?"
"How can that be? Whatever A Yu does is right. "Shang Junlin rubbed his cheek.
"Your Majesty, if you catch that person, I want to see him." Maybe the reason why King Yue came to him in his two lives was because of this person. Shen Yu was somewhat concerned about this person.
Shang Junlin, who originally wanted to catch the man and execute him on the spot, paused. In his heart, he did not want Shen Yu to come into contact with that man.
"Why would A Yu want to see him? He's just a conman."
"Since he accurately said the name 'son of Count North', perhaps he used to be active in the capital, or even went to Count North's residence. I'm curious about this person's identity." If he was a scammer, he could just let Shang Junlin deal with him. If he wasn't, that person might be able to solve some of his doubts.
"Alright, but when you go see him, you have to bring me along."
Speaking of Shen Qingran, after Shang Junlin went to the imperial court the next morning, Shen Yu asked Mu Xi about the situation in Count North's Mansion.
His people had been keeping an eye on Count North's Mansion, and any movement would be directly transmitted to Mu Xi.
"Shen Qingran has been very quiet recently. It seems that he has stopped making trouble. Concubine Ru has also been very quiet."
Shen Yu was somewhat surprised by this result. It was reasonable to say that Shen Qingran and Concubine Ru did not seem like people who would obediently accept their fate. Otherwise, they would not have caused so much trouble in Count North's Mansion.
Shen Yu was right. How could Shen Qingran be willing to accept his current fate? He thought that he was from the modern era, so there was no reason that he could not beat some ancient people. How could he be willing to watch Shen Yu live better and better?
When the summer was hot, he made a fuss and said that he wanted to see Count North, saying that he had something very important to give him. However, Count North did not want to see him at all. He had no choice but to use his trump card, saying that he could turn water into ice in the summer.
As soon as he said this, before he could report it to Count North, the servant who delivered the message laughed, "I say, Second Young Master, you should save it. Now the imperial court sells ice at a low price. There is already a way to make ice. Don't you just find an excuse to trick Count North to come over?"
"How is that possible?" Shen Qingran did not believe it. He clearly remembered that Da Huan did not have a way to make ice. He hid this method because he wanted to have a better future for himself in the future. He did not tell anyone. He grabbed the servant's shoulder and said with a ferocious face, "You lied to me, didn't you? Did you get benefits from Shen Yu and deliberately don't let me see my father? "
"Second Young Master," the servant pulled his hand away with a cold face, "I called you 'Second Young Master', but you really think that you are the same as before. Why would I lie to you? You can casually ask and you will know whether I lied to you or not. If the imperial court did not sell ice at a low price, do you think that with your current situation, you can still use ice?"
Shen Qingran's face was blank for a moment. He had never thought about this problem. Since he transmigrated, he was favored because of his concubine mother. Everything he used was not inferior to Shen Yu, the son of the first wife. During this time, he had been thinking about how to change his current situation and how to climb to the top of Shen Yu's head again. He did not pay attention to the changes in his surroundings.
"Not only you, even the little ones can use ice. Who wouldn't be happy to spend some money and have a good sleep?" The summer in the capital was really hot. In the past, when they had no money, they served their master during the day and could get some cool air. At night, there was no other way. It was so hot that they could not sleep.
"Let's talk about the matter of being instructed by the eldest young master. The eldest young master is now living in the palace. How could he instruct the people in the palace through the palace walls? Besides, Her Majesty will soon go to the summer palace to avoid the summer heat. As the only person in Her Majesty's harem, the eldest young master will naturally be busy preparing for the summer heat. How could he have the time to care about your business? "
The servant's words made Shen Qingran's face turn green and white. Especially the servant's words revealed that Shen Yu was living well now, which made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
The manservant was bullied here and didn't want to let Shen Qingran have a good time. When he went to reply to Sir Zhenbei, he only said that Shen Qingran had a bad attitude and didn't mention anything about the ice making.
Going to the summer palace to avoid the summer heat? Shen Qingran remembered that Count North had taken him there when he was young. This time, Count North would definitely be able to go there, so this was his only chance.
He wanted to tell the Emperor in person that he was the one who should go to the palace. It was Shen Yu who took his position. He wanted to take this opportunity to put everything back to its original position!
Unexpectedly, he waited and waited, but Count North did not take him to the summer palace. Instead, he took another concubine in the palace.
Shen Qingran was so angry that he smashed his favorite ornament.
After Mu Xi finished talking about this, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Count North scolded him again after he went back. Since then, Shen Qingran has been quiet in Count North's palace."
"Count North is probably completely disappointed in his son." Shen Yu played with the empty teacup on the table.
"That's right. Young Master, you don't know. After Duke Zhenbei returned from the summer palace, Shen Qingran made a big fuss. He even went to ask Duke Zhenbei why he didn't take him there. Did he not take his son seriously? Concubine Ru finally made Duke Zhenbei feel a little guilty by being gentle. He was almost angered to death."
Speaking of this, Mu Xi's eyes flashed with a touch of joy. When they were in Count North's palace, how arrogant were Shen Qingran and Concubine Ru? How many bad things did they do to her young master because of Count North's favor? Now, they finally got what they deserved.
Shen Yu just thought of it and suddenly asked. After knowing the situation of the two, he no longer cared about this matter. He looked at the place where the flowers and plants were placed and raised his eyebrows, "Did His Majesty send flowers again?"
Among the flowers and plants, there was one with a huge yellow flower bud. Shen Yu walked over to take a look, but he couldn't recognize the species.
"When was this pot sent here?" Shen Yu looked at the flower and asked.
"It seems to be two days ago?" Mu Xi's eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, "I don't have much impression of it. I'll ask someone to ask."
Mu Xi called the attendant in charge of taking care of the flowers and plants.
The attendant saw the flower, thought for a moment, and replied, "This flower was sent by Prince An. Prince An heard that you like flowers and plants, so he specially found a precious one and sent it here."
Prince An?
Why would Prince An send flowers for no reason?
"Take the flowers away. In the future, only flowers sent by His Majesty will be placed here. Find a place to put the flowers sent by others." Shen Yu ordered lightly.
"Yes." The attendant hurried forward and moved the flowers away.
Shen Yu looked around and didn't find any strange flowers and plants.
"I didn't do a good job and didn't carefully ask about this matter." Mu Xi bowed her head and admitted her mistake.
"Just be careful in the future. Tell the servants to pay more attention. Don't casually accept flowers and plants of unknown origin." There were too many people who could tamper with flowers and plants.
"Yes."
"Find someone to find out what kind of flower that pot is and find out the origin of the flower by the way."
"Yes."
"Young Master, there's one more thing. Many people in the palace asked me if they could donate some money. Although it's not much, it's still a token of their sincerity." On the way back, Mu Xi asked.
"Hmm?"
"At that time, didn't you let many people in the palace watch 'Return to Spring'? They've come to me several times, saying that they hope they can do something."
At that time, after 'Return to Spring' was rehearsed, in order to test the effect, Shen Yu let them perform it several times in the palace. Shang Junlin didn't have any concubines in the harem, so Shen Yu let the palace people listen to it. These people's reactions could also explain some people's reactions after watching it.
"It's okay to do a token of their sincerity, but tell them not to compare and just do their best. I'll leave this matter to you and Little Eunuch Meng."
Shen Yue also heard this news in Consort Dowager's palace. He couldn't help but be stunned. At the same time, he admired Shen Yu even more.
The donations outside the palace were managed by the imperial court. Shen Yu in the palace couldn't completely ignore it. However, with Mu Xi and Little Eunuch Meng in charge, Shen Yu didn't have to worry too much.
Shang Junlin returned from the imperial court and heard Eunuch Meng mention this matter on the way back.
"In my opinion, Guijun's method is really wonderful. Right now, almost everyone is paying attention to the matters in Subei. Whatever those rascals want to do, they definitely won't succeed."
"En," Shang Junlin felt proud, "A Yu can always solve problems for zhen."
When they arrived at Yuzhang Palace, Shen Yu was looking at the account book. It was the donation of the palace people after Mu Xi sorted it out and submitted it.
"What is A Yu looking at?" Shang Junlin waved his hand to signal the palace people to retreat and walked to Shen Yu's side.
"Looking at the account book of the palace people's donation, it's more than I expected." Shen Yu handed one of the account books to Shang Junlin.
Shang Junlin took it and said, "The imperial court also sorted out a copy. It's much more than expected. In order to reduce the time spent on the road, zhen had them directly transport it from the original place to Subei. It's just to find something for the garrisoned troops to do."
"What's the reaction of the vassal kings?"
"Perhaps they were scared in the capital during the New Year. After the imperial court people went there, they did whatever they were told to do. They were also very concerned about the donation. Did A Yu receive anything from the vassal kings?"
Shang Junlin didn't forget that before the vassal kings left the capital, they were ruthlessly ripped off by his A Yu.
