On Yunmo's wedding day, the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly.

Shen Wan was pregnant and couldn't go to the Yun family to get married. She felt a little melancholy in her heart, but she was still happy for Yun Mo.

After experiencing the wrong person she married in her previous life, her marriage in this life has been full of twists and turns. Fortunately, God has treated Yun Mo kindly and she has to marry her husband. Young Master Chen has a good character. Shen Wan believes that he and Yun Mo can work together, harmoniously, and have a white head. lifetime.

Shen Wan had nothing to do, sitting on a small couch, passing the time by embroidering a bellyband for the child in her belly. While she was doing it, Dong'er came in from outside and said, "Princess, the boy who followed the prince to Chen's house to deliver gifts came back and said, today Not many people go to Chen’s house for a wedding banquet..."

There were not many guests at the Chen family's wedding banquet, which was unexpected by Shen Wan. In officialdom, people always take their time to relax. Chen Shilang is an upright official and does not participate in party disputes. Once such a minister has been in Dingyou for three years, he will never know where he will be forgotten. After going back to the court three years later, the possibility of returning to the Ministry of Rites as Minister of Rites is very low. In all likelihood, it will be to see if there is a similar official position at that time, and then fill it. biggest.

After Mrs. Chen passed away, not many colleagues went to the Chen Mansion to express their condolences. Mrs. Chen's funeral was only possible because Xie Jingyan asked the eighth prince to express condolences on her behalf, which alerted the emperor. The emperor sent Eunuch Yuan to send a condolence gift. After hearing this, they came to express condolences one after another.

Now that Chen Shilang has left the court for almost three months, and the young master Chen is marrying a daughter of the Yun family, he is not favored by others. Even fewer people go to the Chen Mansion for a wedding banquet in person, let alone go in person. The Chen family is having a wedding banquet, so anyone who can send a steward to deliver a congratulatory gift would be considered kind.

However, it doesn’t matter if the wedding banquet is not lively enough. The most important thing is to live a comfortable life. In the previous life, Mr. Chen was Xie Jingyan’s confidant. If Xie Jingyan can succeed, Mr. Chen’s future is limitless. Sooner or later, these people will regret it. .

Well, Shen Wan was sure that Mr. Chen would make those who underestimated him regret one day, but Shen Wan did not expect that this day would come so quickly, today.

Almost as soon as Dong'er finished her report, Chun'er ran in from outside and said, "Princess, the Chen family has a double happiness today, Master Chen has regained his love!"

Shen Wan was startled for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she said in disbelief, "Is this serious?"

How could anyone dare to spread rumors about such a big thing? Chun'er nodded repeatedly, "Just as Mr. Chen and his eldest cousin were about to pay homage, Eunuch Yuan came to Chen Shilang's house with the edict of seizing love, which would have delayed Mr. Chen and his eldest cousin. It was an auspicious time for my cousin to visit the church. Eunuch Yuan had just read out the imperial edict after waiting for the two of them to do so. Moreover, after Eunuch Yuan had read out the edict, he stayed at the Chen Mansion to drink the wedding banquet."

Shen Wan really didn't expect that the emperor would seize Mr. Chen's love. After all, the imperial court governed the country with "filial piety". There were so many ministers in the court for the emperor to control, and the right minister of the Ministry of Rites did not have to be Mr. Chen.

The emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, and this is the first time that he has seduced the love of a subordinate. Shen Wan's intuition tells her that this is unusual.

Not only Shen Wan found it unusual, but almost everyone in the civil and military dynasty, including Xie Jingyan and Shen Jing, was surprised.

Civil servants observe filial piety for three years, and military generals observe filial piety for 100 days.

Mr. Chen was a civil servant, but he kept his filial piety for less than three months before the emperor took away his love and resurrected him.

This makes it clear that Master Chen will be reused in the future.

Today, I went to the Chen Mansion in person to deliver congratulatory gifts. The ministers who drank the wedding wine raised their glasses to congratulate Mr. Chen. I was extremely glad that I didn't do anything to flatter someone. I was short-sighted and came to the Chen Mansion to drink the wedding wine in person. Those who didn't come in person at this moment Yes, my colleagues who were even stingy about sending congratulatory gifts should be restless when they receive the news that Mr. Chen has been robbed of his love and returned.

Once the emperor re-appoints a minister, his official position will be promoted very quickly. Mr. Chen is already a minister, and his official rank is not low. If he continues to rise, no one can guess where he will sit in the future.

Mrs. Chen expected that there would not be too many guests at the wedding banquet, so she only prepared sixty banquet tables. This was overestimated, and only forty-eight tables came.

Mrs. Chen, who was hosting this wedding banquet, felt very unhappy. Who would have thought that it would turn out to be such a big surprise in the end, and the emperor would give the Chen family such a big surprise? It was like a dream, like a big pie fell from the sky and fell on the Chen family's head. of.

At that time, the wedding banquet had already begun. After receiving the news, the officials could not come to drink the wedding wine. At most, they did not send congratulatory gifts, so they hurriedly sent stewards to deliver them.

There were still only forty-eight tables for the wedding banquet, but it was a bit more lively than other families with hundreds of tables.

Shen Wan got up from her nap and drank a cup of tea. Xie Jingyan just came back. When he saw him entering the room, Shen Wan went up to greet him and asked the doubts that had been suppressed for a long time, "Why did the emperor steal Mr. Chen's love?"

Xie Jingyan hugged Shen Wan out of habit and said, "I don't know whether Mr. Chen is lucky or the emperor did it intentionally."

Xie Jingyan drank the wine, and Shen Wan turned away in disgust, but was too curious, so she turned her face back and asked, "What should I say?"

Xie Jingyan said, "This morning in court, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites said something wrong, which made the emperor unhappy and he was demoted one level."

"After going to court, the emperor called the eighth emperor's brother to the imperial study, asked about his studies, and punished the eighth emperor's brother for copying. The eighth emperor's brother begged the emperor for mercy, saying that he and I had agreed that today he would drink at Chen Shilang's house. After drinking the wedding wine, he copied it when he came back. The emperor scolded him a few words and then agreed..."

After the eighth prince left, the emperor was worried about who should be promoted to serve as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Eunuch Yuan said, "The position of right minister of the Ministry of Rites has been changed three times in just over two months. All the officials recommended that the right minister of the Ministry of Rites is the most suitable." Regarding the candidates for this position, Mr. Chen, before Ding You, served as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites for two years and had never made such a mistake as Liu Shilang. Unfortunately, it is too early for him to make a comeback, and he must complete his filial piety period before he can continue to serve the court and share the emperor's worries."

The emperor said, "When Chen Aiqing was in the Ministry of Rites, I was really worried. I could only force him to put the court's affairs first."

Then the emperor asked the Hanlin Academy to draw up an imperial edict for seizing love, and Eunuch Yuan went to the Chen Mansion to read it in person.

Shen Wan was stunned for a while. It sounded like Mr. Chen was lucky. It happened that the right minister of the Ministry of Rites committed an offense and the position of the right minister of the Ministry of Rites became vacant. It happened that the eighth prince mentioned Mr. Chen in front of the emperor. Eunuch Yuan sighed at the right time. A few words, but every step happened to be so coincidental, it was more than just a coincidence.

Eunuch Yuan is the emperor's confidant and is the best at figuring out the emperor's thoughts. Mr. Chen and he are neither relatives nor friends, and there is no personal relationship with him. There is no need for Eunuch Yuan to help him. Eunuch Yuan must have guessed the emperor's intention and is giving the emperor steps.

But why is the emperor so anxious to ask Mr. Chen to be the Minister of Returning Gifts?

Mr. Chen is neither a member of the eldest prince nor has he been won over by Xie Jingyin. Only Xie Jingyan values ​​him. Now that the Chen family and the Yun family are married, Mr. Chen will not participate in the battle for the crown prince.

A bold guess popped into Shen Wan's mind. She looked at Xie Jingyan with wide eyes, "Isn't the Emperor paving the way for you?"

Xie Jingyan frowned, pinched Shen Wan's face and said, "Is it possible?"

Shen Wan wanted to speak, but Xie Jingyan didn't give her a chance to speak, so he changed the subject and said, "Tomorrow, my father-in-law will help your eldest cousin to propose marriage to the Prince of Yanping."
