Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

If Shen Fugui enters the court, he will definitely stand beside the prime minister.

The Minister of Rites also knew that Shen Fugui was a dark horse. If he was allowed to develop in the future, he might have a seat in the court sooner or later.

He could not just let the prime minister's power grow stronger, but at this moment there was no way to refute the emperor's words.

He held back this breath and glanced at Shen Fugui in a warning manner. Unexpectedly, Shen Fugui was too big-hearted and didn't notice his gaze at all.

On the contrary, Yao Shu on the side noticed Li Bu Shangshu's hatred for Shen Fugui, and had a bad premonition in her heart.

She decided to wait until everyone returned to the Shen family to tell everyone in detail how to speak in court or in front of nobles, so as to more effectively avoid offending more nobles in the future.

In the end, the emperor's reward was to make Shen Qiu an official of the fifth rank, and Shen Fugui could become an official of the seventh rank if he could participate in the palace examination.

Yao Shu already had the title of County Lord, and the emperor decided to give her a title that he would not give her last time. As for Shen He and Shen Bei, they were not officials, so the emperor's reward was only some silver and treasures.

Although this fashion does not satisfy the Shen family, some is better than nothing.

After they walked out of the hall, they began to discuss what had happened recently.

Before she had taken two steps, she saw the Minister of Rites striding up to Yao Shu: "Mrs. Shen, if you stay, I have long heard that Mrs. Shen has extraordinary abilities. If she were a man, she would definitely be better than most of the people in the court today." A man. After what happened this time, I really feel Mrs. Shen’s ability."

Yao Shu really wanted to call the Shen family next to her to hear what it meant to kill someone.

This is naked flattery, and these few sentences are full of traps.

If Yao Shu agrees, it means that Yao Shu believes that he is more capable than many ministers today. This sentence will naturally arouse the anger of everyone, and Shen Fugui will inevitably be ostracized in the court in the future.

If Yao Shu disagrees, it will be a disgrace to the Minister of Rites.

After going back and forth, she didn't want to continue talking in circles with the Minister of Rites, so she said: "Your Majesty, you are really ridiculous. I am just a woman who came from the countryside. I have never gone to school for a day. I don't understand any principles. How can I bear the responsibility?" I deserve such praise. I have experienced many things along the way, and I was just lucky enough to be able to help my family out of trouble. I just didn’t know that adults would care about these details, which is really touching."

Upon hearing this, the face of the Minister of Rites changed.

He had long known that Yao Shu was not easy to mess with, but he did not expect that Yao Shu would be so cunning.

Seeing that he was speechless for a moment, Yao Shu decided to give him a step down, so she spoke softly, and then said: "I know that your Excellency just wants to congratulate our Shen family for completing the task assigned by the emperor, so you are here to talk to me. Such a joke. Of course you can come to Jiutian Restaurant when you have something to do. Our Shen family will definitely entertain you well. Now that it is getting late and there are many important things to deal with in the restaurant, we will not accompany you for now. "

After Yao Shu finished speaking, she bowed with the Shen family and then strode away immediately.

After walking very far, Yao Shu could even feel the eyes of the Minister of Rites staring at her from behind, as if he wanted to swallow her alive.

She sighed deeply and said in desperation: "It's not good to offend anyone, but I have offended such an ancestor. If Fugui goes to work in the future, it will be inevitable to have a head-on confrontation with him. If there is no necessary situation, , you should avoid him. After all, this person is not easy to mess with. If he catches you, you might even lose your skin."

Shen Fugui agreed softly, but before he could say the next words, he was interrupted by a crisp voice.

"Master Shen."

Everyone heard the sound and went to find Princess Chang'an standing in front of them.

At this moment, Princess Chang An's eyes were shining even more as she stared at Shen Fugui. She stared straight at him without any dodge.

This appearance made Shen Fugui a little shy, and he subconsciously lowered his head to salute.

"Princess."

"I heard from my father that as long as you can pass the palace examination, he will reward you with the position of a seventh-rank official." Princess Chang Le smiled happily and took another step forward to stand in front of Shen Fugui.

Shen Fugui subconsciously looked at his parents and brother, and responded with an embarrassed face: "It is true, but I don't know if I can succeed."

"You are so powerful, such a small thing will naturally not be a problem for you. I hope to see you more often in the palace in the future, so please make sure you work hard to enter the palace examination, okay?"

Looking at the other expressions on Princess Chang Le's face, she blushed and nodded.

Yao Shu looked at this scene with a worried expression on her face.

She remained silent until she returned to Shen's house before calling Shen Fugui alone in front of her.

"Are you hiding something from me?" Yao Shu decided to give Shen Fugui a chance to speak out.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fugui pretended to be stupid, pretended not to understand what he said, and shook his head gently.

"Mom, why can't I understand what you mean?" Shen Fugui lowered his head subconsciously.

Yao Shu reached out her hand angrily and pounded the table hard: "You have never lied before, why do you do such a thing now?"

"I really don't know what you are talking about. If you are doing it because of the princess, then I can tell mother openly that the two of us have nothing to do with each other." Shen Fugui decided to give it a try, and he continued to hide himself and Chang Le Regarding the matter of the princess, I deliberately pretended to be confident.

"Very good, then tell me what this is?" Yao Shu slammed the handkerchief on the table, pointed at the exquisite embroidery on it, and asked in a cold voice, "You said you have nothing to do with the princess, then tell me Why do you carry this handkerchief with you? Don't tell me, this is just given to you by an ordinary girl. The material of this handkerchief is only found in the imperial palace. Do you want to tell me that besides Princess Chang Le, there is someone else in this world? Does a princess like you too?"

Hearing this, Shen Fugui trembled and said quickly: "Mom, that's not what I meant. I was just worried that you would be angry, so I didn't tell you the truth."

"Am I not angry now?" Yao Shu laughed angrily, not knowing how to comment for a while.

Looking at her appearance, Shen Fugui knew that he had said the wrong thing and opened his mouth awkwardly, but he didn't know how to make up for it.

"Now tell me truthfully, what is going on? Tell me every detail."
