After the marriage, the disabled war king was spoiled by me

Chapter 325 Playing cards against common sense

Jiang Shaohan gently patted Du Yunsheng's hand, then slowly spoke:

"Yun Sheng, I know this is very unfair to you. You could have had a healthy husband and lived a carefree life."

Du Yunsheng shook her head gently, her eyes full of determination: "Shao Han, I don't care, as long as I can be with you, I will be satisfied."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of affection.

……

Du Yunsheng then remembered that tomorrow was the rain-praying ceremony, and as the Princess of Jing, she had to attend it with Jiang Shaohan.

She looked at the sky outside the window and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the rain-making ceremony would go smoothly and bring rain to the people suffering from drought.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window lattices into the courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Du Yunsheng got up early, dressed up carefully, and put on a gorgeous palace dress. She stood in front of the mirror, looking at her dignified face, but she was very nervous.

At this time, Jiang Shaohan was already waiting in the courtyard. He was wearing an embroidered blue robe and had a serious expression. Seeing Du Yunsheng coming out, he smiled slightly and said, "Princess, it's time for us to set off."

Du Yunsheng nodded and boarded the carriage with Jiang Shaohan. The carriage slowly drove towards the palace, and the two were silent along the way.

After arriving at the palace, Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan were led to a side hall to wait. The emperor had already gone to the main hall. Du Yunsheng looked at Jiang Shaohan nervously, only to see that he was calm and composed, and he could not help but admire him secretly.

Soon, the emperor summoned Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan to the palace. When the two entered the palace, they saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, with civil and military officials lined up on both sides. When the emperor saw the two come in, he smiled and said, "Prince Jing, Princess Jing, you are here at the right time. The rain-making ceremony will begin soon."

The emperor stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and said in a loud voice: "My dear ministers, the drought in Western Wei has lasted for several months, and the people are suffering. Today, we hold a rain-seeking ceremony to pray to God for rain to save the people."

Afterwards, the emperor lit the incense burner and led all the civil and military officials to kneel down and worship. Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan also knelt down and prayed devoutly in their hearts. The incense in the hall was curling, and the atmosphere was solemn and sacred.

The rain-praying ceremony was in full swing. The emperor and all the civil and military officials looked serious, but Du Yunsheng was a little nervous. She didn't know whether the rain-praying ceremony would be successful, nor did she know when the drought would end.

At this moment, the sky suddenly became overcast with thunder and lightning. Everyone looked up and saw a rainbow across the sky, followed by raindrops falling from the sky, sprinkling on everyone.

The emperor was overjoyed. He stood up, looked up at the sky, and said, "Thank God for His mercy. The rain has fallen. My dear ministers, we will immediately send a message to all places to inform the people that this rain will bring hope for a good harvest."

Civil and military officials all knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!" Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan also knelt down, feeling deeply moved.

After the rain-praying ceremony, the emperor invited Du Yunsheng and Jiang Shaohan to have dinner together.

During the banquet, the emperor praised Du Yunsheng highly and called her "the virtuous princess", which made Du Yunsheng flattered.

After dinner, the emperor ordered someone to send a painting, which depicted the grand scene of today's rain-praying ceremony. The emperor pointed to Du Yunsheng in the painting and said to Jiang Shaohan: "Prince Jing, you are so lucky to have such a virtuous princess."

Jiang Shaohan smiled slightly and said, "I am very grateful. The princess and I will work together to benefit the people of Western Wei."

Du Yunsheng looked at Jiang Shaohan and felt warm in his heart.

……

In the deep courtyard of the imperial palace, sunlight shines through the vermilion gate onto the bluestone slabs, illuminating a magnificent scene.

The other guard was startled and pointed at Du Yunsheng angrily, saying:

"Princess Jing, how dare you hit someone!"

The guard's angry shout echoed in the empty palace. Princess Du Yunsheng of Jing raised her head slightly, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in her eyes.

"I hit someone?" Du Yunsheng chuckled. Although his voice was light, it was full of unquestionable majesty. "You can see clearly that he was the one who offended me first."

Jiang Shaohan walked over slowly, his eyes moving back and forth between Du Yunsheng and the guard. His face was expressionless, but he revealed a pressure that could not be ignored.

"Li Quan, you misunderstood." Jiang Shaohan said calmly, "Princess Jing is not an unreasonable person. She has her reasons for doing this."

Li Quan's expression eased a little, but he still said unwillingly: "But, Princess Jing, you..."

"Li Quan!" Jiang Shaohan's voice suddenly became louder, and he glanced at him sharply, "Why don't you step down?"

Li Quan trembled, not daring to say anything, and could only bow his head and leave. Du Yunsheng looked at his back, with a sneer on his face.

"Shao Han, you seem to have some misunderstandings about me." Du Yunsheng turned his head, his eyes like water, but with a hint of sharpness that was hard to detect, "Do you think I acted out of anger?"

Jiang Shaohan frowned slightly. He looked at Du Yunsheng, with a complex emotion in his eyes: "Yunsheng, I know you are not a unreasonable person, but..."

"But what?" Du Yunsheng interrupted him, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes, "I do this for us, for the entire Jingwang Mansion."

Jiang Shaohan was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and said, "Yun Sheng, I know you have good intentions, but this method is too drastic. After all, this is the imperial palace, not Prince Jing's mansion."

Du Yunsheng smiled lightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "I know this is the imperial palace, but sometimes, only by not following the rules can you achieve unexpected results."

Jiang Shaohan looked at Du Yunsheng, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure: "Yunsheng, you surprise me more and more."

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly and was about to speak when suddenly, a figure walked over from a distance. It was Jiang Shaohan's personal bodyguard, Zhao Tiezhu.

He walked hurriedly with a serious look in front of Du Yunsheng and bowed respectfully.

"Princess, the prince wants you to come over. He has something to discuss with you."

A trace of doubt flashed across Du Yunsheng's eyes. She nodded slightly and said to Zhao Tiezhu, "I understand. You go ahead and I'll be there soon."

Zhao Tiezhu accepted the order and turned to leave. Du Yunsheng looked at his back and couldn't help wondering what Jiang Shaohan wanted to discuss with her.

After a while, Du Yunsheng came to Jiang Shaohan's study. Pushing the door open, she saw Jiang Shaohan sitting at the table, holding a memorial in his hand, with a frown on his face.

"Your Highness, what do you want to talk to me about?" Du Yunsheng asked softly.

Jiang Shaohan raised his head, his eyes revealing a trace of fatigue. He motioned Du Yunsheng to sit down, and then said: "Yunsheng, the situation in the court has been turbulent recently. I have something to discuss with you."

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly and sat opposite Jiang Shaohan. She looked at Jiang Shaohan with a bright and intelligent look in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Jiang Shaohan pondered for a moment, then said: "Someone in the court has jointly submitted a memorial, impeaching me for abusing my power and embezzling public funds. This matter is very serious, and I need your help."

Du Yunsheng's face changed slightly when she heard this. She frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Your Highness, this matter involves a lot of seriousness. We need to think carefully. First, we need to find out if there is someone behind this."
