Doting on your wife to no end: The evil regent is reborn and is too clingy

"Rewards should be given for meritorious deeds and punishments should be given for faults. The Earl of Anyuan has made great contributions on the front lines, and Your Majesty should treat his family well. If you punish the family of a meritorious official because of a few jokes between women, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers at the front."

What's more, knowing that Shen Yangui and Lin Huiru were not on good terms, he also went beyond the rules to advise them.

"Your Highness and Princess have a deep love for each other, and they are a role model for all couples in the world. However, the country is the country and the family is the family. Please do not let your children's love affect the affairs of state."

"I have heard in medical books that yin and yang are in harmony, and each has its own function. I have heard that the princess is an expert in medicine, so I believe she knows it better."

This is to tell Princess Shen Yangui not to interfere in state affairs and not to influence the regent's decision for her own selfish reasons.

"Well - meritorious service should be rewarded, faults should be punished! You are right!"

Mo Chengying didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so he looked at Lin'an from the side and asked, "Were you going to reward the wife of the Marquis of Anyuan just now?"

Lin An bowed and replied, "Yes, Rouge Purple."

"No need!"

Mo Chengying waved his hand.

Even someone like Lin'an who is good at observing people's words and expressions has not changed his mind. This group of nobles have been flattered for so long that they have lost their basic attentiveness.

They all became happy.

"Where is the wife of the Marquis Anyuan?" Mo Chengying asked the wife of the Marquis Anyuan.

Among the ladies, someone gently pushed Lady Anyuan and whispered, "Madam Lin, please come forward and claim your reward."

Some people also said congratulations.

The wife of the Marquis of Anyuan came forward, unable to hide her joy, and said, "Your servant, the wife of the Marquis of Anyuan, Lin Yao, greets the Regent."

They all thought that what awaited the Lin family would be promotions and rewards of real money.

Xungui was happy, and Lin Huiru was happy too.

Everyone was eagerly waiting, and Mo Chengying uttered three words lightly: "Drag him away!"

"Thanks..." Hmm?

Drag it on?

The smile on Lady Anyuan's face froze, and Xungui and Lin Huiru were both dumbfounded.

Xuanping Hou asked tentatively, "Does your Highness want Madam Anyuan to go down and rest first?"

Old and noble ministers who are on the decline often seek marriage to expand their power or satisfy certain needs of their own.

For example, the wife of the prince of Duke Suguo, Mrs. Song, was the daughter of a noble family; the prince of Marquis Xuanping married Mrs. Qiao, the daughter of a merchant; and the wife of Marquis Xuanping, Mrs. Wei, was herself from a noble family and had a strong personality since childhood.

With the support of his natal family, Marquis Xuanping was also quite afraid of his own wife.

Mo Chengying had a "bad idea" and deliberately said, "The friendship between us when we were young is indeed extraordinary. How dare Marquis Xuanping misinterpret my meaning in front of me? Is he just trying to protect his childhood sweetheart and even disregarding the Marquis Xuanping's mansion?"

Childhood friendship, childhood sweethearts, these eight big words struck Wei's heart, and she looked at her husband coldly.

Even the words of denial by Marquis Xuanping were not confident enough.

The guards came forward and dragged the wife of the Marquis of Anyuan away. She struggled and shouted:

"My husband fought bravely on the battlefield and made contributions to the country, but the prince wants to punish the family of the meritorious official for the princess' personal grudge. I do not accept this! The soldiers on the front line do not accept this! The people of the world do not accept this!"

Mo Chengying was still waiting for the nobles to have the courage to plead for mercy so that they could be punished together, but these cowards stopped talking.

The so-called alliance is nothing more than this.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mo Chengying didn't want to delay any longer, so he threw the urgent report in Marquis Xuanping's face and asked him to read it out loud.

"... Marquis Anyuan was on the battlefield, deserting? He was trying to collude with foreign enemies???"

"How could this be?"

The news the nobles received was clearly not the case.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Lady Anyuan was unwilling to believe it and struggled frantically to break free. Mo Chengying gave a look and the guards let go. Lady Anyuan rushed over and snatched the urgent report.

Black and white.

"No, no, how could my husband collude with foreign enemies? He would not desert the battlefield, he would not! This is a false accusation! Yes! This is a false accusation!"

She couldn't stand steadily, and Marquis Xuanping helped her up, "Mrs. Lin, be careful."

"It's you!"

The wife of the Marquis of Anyuan pushed the Marquis of Xuanping away and pointed at Jiang Peirong and then at Shen Yangui, "It's you! You and your daughter have a grudge against the Lin family. You want to get rid of the Lin family, so you use this despicable method to deliberately frame our Marquis of Anyuan!"

"It was Han Xiucheng, the son of Duke Su, who reported the Earl of Anyuan's intention to collude with foreign enemies. This time, it was Han Xiucheng who personally led the people to escort him back. Whether it was a frame-up or not, we will know when we ask him."

If someone else reported it, even if Lady Anyuan didn't say anything, others would have guessed it.

But what the Prince of Suguo did had nothing to do with the Prince Regent and the Princess.

The noble man glanced at Duke Suguo and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Lin Yao slandered the princess, her crime is even more serious! She will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane first." Mo Chengying stood up, "The Marquis of Anyuan will be stripped of his title and his property confiscated, and the whole family will be imprisoned and await their fate."

The wife of the Marquis of Anyuan was carried away by the guards. Her cries became increasingly distant, and the hearts of the ministers beat faster and faster.

Mo Chengying glanced at the silent crowd: The real show has just begun, and you're afraid of it becoming like this?

Lin An saw that the matter had been dealt with, and he reminded them at the right time: "The auspicious time has arrived, and the banquet has been prepared. Please invite the prince and princess to take the table."

Mo Chengying stretched out his hand towards Shen Yangui, and Shen Yangui placed his hand in his palm.

The couple walked hand in hand into the Linde Hall, climbed the steps, sat in the middle seat, and sat at the same table.

There was a seat on each side of the main seat. Originally, Princess Lin'an and Princess Jingning were supposed to sit on the left, but Lin'an didn't know how to take care of the child, so she took the initiative to sit on the right with Shen Yuanyuan.

The left seat was given to Jiang Peirong and Princess Jingning.

Military generals and civil officials sat on the left and right, arranged in order of official rank and title.

The Regent and the Princess raised their glasses to pay tribute to heaven and earth, to the gods and to their ancestors. After some impassioned speeches, the king and his subjects drank together, and then the sound of stringed instruments rang out, and the banquet began.

In the hall, sleeves fluttered and there was singing and dancing.

Mo Chengying toasted the first glass of wine in private to Shen Yangui.

"My lady, you have worked hard on this trip south."

"Thank you for your hard work, husband."

Shen Yangui held up his sleeves with one hand and clinked his wine glass with the other, and they both drank together.

Qingshuang stepped forward to pour wine, but was waved away by Mo Chengying.

"Drinking too much is bad for your health, but I still want to toast you one more time."

He didn't pour the wine, but served a bowl of soup himself, handed it to her with both hands, and said solemnly: "Qingqing, thank you for giving birth to Yu'er for me."

This sudden solemnity surprised Shen Yangui.

"Okay, what are you doing? Yu'er is your daughter, my daughter, and our daughter."

It was not made for him, but was owned by both of them.

"Yes, it's our daughter."

Mo Chengying held Shen Yangui's hand. He felt happy and touched, as well as guilty and self-blame from his past life. He had no words to express himself.

"Qingshuang, bring the princess here."

Qingshuang glanced at Lu'e, and Lu'e immediately brought Princess Jingning over.

Mo Chengying took it with both hands, shook his daughter's hand, and said to Shen Yangui:

"My dear, thank you for giving me life. Grow up quickly so that you can help me when you grow up."

The family was having a great time here, while Lin An reminded Shen Yuan Yuan, "Eat quickly, or you won't be able to eat later."

She raised her arms horizontally, looking quiet and gentle to outsiders, but hidden by her wide sleeves, she did not take a sip but took a big bite.

While Lin'an was eating, he did not forget to observe his surroundings. Lady Wei, the wife of Marquis Xuanping, was angry with Marquis Xuanping because of the words "childhood sweethearts" and "Madam Lin, be careful".

Although he did nothing, and even took the occasion into consideration and behaved very respectfully towards Marquis Xuanping, his expression was extremely bad and could not be hidden at all.

Of course, it wasn't just the couple who had bad looks, but also those noble and old ministers.
