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

Looking at Li Chen's leaving figure, Yao Shu gently shook her head.

She wasn't sure whether Li Chen really understood what she said, but she could only use this method to stabilize him at the moment.

If Li Chen really entered the army, the Minister of Rites would definitely take the opportunity to do something secretly.

The Minister of Rites is very ambitious. If he wants to invade the army, it is obvious that he is rebellious.

Li Chen may be an upright person, completely different from the Minister of Rites. But there is no guarantee whether he will be bound by the so-called filial piety in the future and work for the Minister of Rites.

Things are unpredictable and there are too many uncertainties.

All Yao Shu can do is try to be as complete as possible, and there is nothing else she can do.

At present, Shen Fugui must be sent to the Western Regions as soon as possible to take up a post, and a business route must be opened to expand the Shen family's business scope.

If they just stay content with the status quo in the capital, the Shen family will always be involved in disputes and unable to protect themselves.

If the Shen family could be as rich as any other country, others would naturally be afraid of it. By that time, even the emperor will have to think carefully about whether he can still treat the Shen family as a chess piece.

Yao Shu slowly exhaled. The road ahead is long, and she wonders whether the next road will be easy.

At this moment, the deputy commander of the guards suddenly came to Yao Shu in a hurry. The moment he saw Yao Shu, he breathed a sigh of relief. Now everyone here regards the medicine book as the backbone and has become accustomed to looking for her to find a solution to any problem.

"Mrs. Shen is in serious trouble."

The deputy commander was more calm than the other guards. Unless he encountered something serious, he would not be as panicked as he is now.

Yao Shu quickly spoke to comfort her: "If you have anything to say, please tell me slowly."

"A group of bridegroom escorts came outside. They claimed that the princess was heading to the Western Regions to get married."

When Yao Shu heard this, she quickly strode back.

She came to the tent where the wedding party was, and sure enough she saw one of the officials sitting on the throne with a look of displeasure on his face.

Shen Fugui on the side looked stubborn and seemed unwilling to back down. Thinking about it carefully, he might have had a conflict with the officials.

"Why is this official so angry? If there is anything, we can discuss it carefully?" Yao Shu quickly stepped forward to calm the atmosphere.

After seeing Yao Shu appear, the official breathed a sigh of relief and snorted coldly.

"Have a good discussion? I really didn't know that you, the Shen family, were so rude. I came here to escort the princess on the emperor's order. Do I still need to ask for the consent of your Shen family for the marriage in the Western Regions?" The official snorted coldly, with a look on his face. His expression became more and more angry.

Hearing this, Yao Shu became even more anxious.

You must not anger this official. If he is sent by the emperor, it means that the Minister of Rites has the right to speak in the court and persuades the emperor to agree to the princess's idea of ​​​​going to get married.

The princess is the most beloved daughter of the emperor, but in a sense, most princesses in history were sent to stabilize the political situation in the court or to get married.

Although she is the most beloved princess, she will inevitably become a victim when the two countries are at war.

You still need to understand what happened right away.

Yao Shu bowed respectfully, and then poured a cup of tea for the official herself.

"It's not worth getting angry about this little thing. The official came here this time, presumably because of important things. Don't get angry because of this trivial matter. It will hurt your body and delay our important things. .”

Perhaps it was Yao Shu's compliment that made the official's vanity burst. He nodded proudly and said approvingly: "You are right, he is indeed a man who understands righteousness. This time the Turks suddenly invaded our territory, and He took the initiative to declare that he wanted to get married. If he continued to stand, it would probably affect the safety of our country, so the Minister of Rites took the initiative to propose that the princess go to get married. Firstly, it was to show our country's sincerity, and secondly, it was also to calm the war between the two countries. , benefiting the people.”

"The princess is the emperor's most beloved little princess, how could there be such an order? Can you guarantee that what you said is true, and that you are not secretly sending orders to do things behind your back?" Shen Fugui retorted stubbornly.

Hearing this, the official became more and more angry.

His fingertips trembled slightly, and he pointed at Shen Fugui and looked at Yao Shu: "Listen to what Mr. Shen said. Could it be that I am such a scoundrel and would do such a thing?"

"There is no need for the official to be angry. I will definitely teach him a lesson about this matter."

"Don't think that you don't know what your surname is just because you have passed the exam for an official position. I have the emperor's imperial edict and a letter written by the emperor himself. Don't you believe these things? Or do you think you, Shen Fugui, are already powerful? To this extent, you can actually directly refute the emperor's orders. Believe it or not, I will read a book now to let the emperor know what kind of person you are." Seeing the official talking, he became more and more angry, and he must have seen Yao Shu as well. Towards myself, so I become more and more proud.

He couldn't help but step on Shen Fugui a few times, trying to find the face he had just lost.

"Please don't be angry, sir. We are too anxious this time. After all, the emperor only stated that the princess would go with us to the Western Regions to inspect the people's conditions, and did not mention the matter of marriage. In addition, we have not heard of Turkic invasions along the way. On the contrary, the Huns were extremely arrogant and took the initiative to provoke wars many times. I wonder if you can tell us the specific reasons so that we can be mentally prepared." Li Chen quickly stepped forward.

His words were appropriate. After all, he had been with the Minister of Rites for so many years and he knew some complimentary words.

The official was shocked when he saw Li Chen appearing here. He was a little surprised. After all, the Minister of Rites did not tell him that Mr. Li was also in this team.

Thinking of how arrogant he had just been, if Mr. Li informed Minister Li, his position would definitely be in jeopardy.

Thinking of this, the official quickly said: "I didn't know that the eldest young master is here now. If I had just seen the eldest young master, I would definitely not be so angry."

"hypocritical."

Shen Bei stood aside and muttered.

The official was about to get angry when he heard this, but thought that Li Chen was staring at him, so he could only endure it.

The official took a deep breath and then added: "Actually, these are not big things, but I just want to inform you of the emperor's latest instructions. If you can escort the princess to successfully complete the marriage, the emperor will definitely not treat you badly. .”

"Can you tell me why the emperor suddenly issued such an order?" Yao Shu asked cautiously.
