After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 257 Wang Lian’s Guest

It is unlikely that Ren Yuhuan's father would do this, Chu Shu thought so.

So at this moment, after Shen Yanzhi finished reading, he said: "Wei Chen feels that the investigation results are not conclusive yet. There are still many situations that have to be investigated again. Your Majesty, please do not draw conclusions and give Wei Chen more time -"

Shen Yanzhi threw the memorial to Chu Shu: "No need."

When Chu Shu saw Wang Lian coming to pick it up for him, he immediately stepped forward and picked it up himself.

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

Shen Yanzhi said calmly: "There is no need to investigate, I already know."

After saying that, he looked at Chu Shu and then continued: "I asked you to go back and reflect. I heard that you are singing and dancing to achieve peace. You will go to a banquet today and travel tomorrow, and take your official salary to relax!"

Chu Shu could only kneel down and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I just have many friends. I have received too many invitations and I can't turn them away. If I go here but not go there, wouldn't I offend others?"

When Shen Yanzhi heard this, he sneered and said, "You really know how to socialize! In that case, you can have fun for a few more days and come back to court next month!"

Chu Shu knelt down and saluted, but Shen Yanzhi waved his hand impatiently.

Chu Shu had no choice but to go out.

Wang Lian followed him out, smiled at Chu Shu and said, "Master Chu, don't be discouraged. I know that your majesty cares about important people, so he is so strict with you."

Hearing this, Chu Shu held up his hands and said with a smile: "I accept what you said, Wang Gonggong, but this is just the way it is. If you go to this house and not to the other house, won't you offend others? Do I really want to go?" "

Wang Lian knew that Chu Shu was a monk, but he was obsessed with music. Wang Lian would not be surprised if someone like him did anything outrageous.

At this moment, he just smiled and said: "If Master Chu doesn't go, wouldn't the banquet be much less fun? Let's talk about Master Chu's piano skills. Who doesn't want to invite you to add glory to the banquet?"

Chu Shu heard the flattery and just smiled modestly, but he was confused in his heart.

Wang Lian, a wallflower, would not flatter him in vain. He must have a purpose.

really!

After Wang Lian boasted about Chu Shu for a while, he took the opportunity to say: "I am old now. I will be celebrating my sixtieth birthday the day after tomorrow, so I have a small banquet. If Lord Chu is willing to honor me, I will be grateful!"

After Chu Shu heard this, he really wanted to see what happened to Wang Lian, so he thought for a while and said: "The prince and the father-in-law have invited me in person, how can I refuse? It just so happened that His Majesty gave me leave, so I went so what?"

Wang Lian was very happy to hear this and thanked Chu Shu with his hands in hand.

Chu Shu went home and rode on his horse, thinking about Shen Yanzhi's eyes and answers. Could it be that Shen Yanzhi already knew that Ren Tianbao had a problem?

Thinking of this, Chu Shu took out his memorial, passed by a blacksmithing furnace, and took the opportunity to throw it in.

"Ouch, it's vacation again!"

Then he laughed and rode away.

The man who followed found that the memorial had been burnt out, so he had no choice but to give up following and go back to resume his life.

Three days later, Chu Shu came to Wang Lian's mansion for the first time.

This mansion is located near the outside of the capital, hidden in a deep alley. Chu Shu has also passed by this alley before, and he never thought that such a large and luxurious mansion was hidden inside!
Chu Shu went inside and found that many ministers from the court had come. It seemed that Wang Lian was very popular in the palace.

The servants of the official family accepted the congratulatory gifts brought by Chu Shu, and Chu Shu followed the servants through the rockery verandah, carrying the guqin on his back, and winding their way to the main hall.

That night, the moon was full of stars, the hall was full of people, singing and dancing, it was so lively.

The tables and chairs in the hall are arranged in rows. There are long tables and square tables. You can sit alone or drink together.

Chu Shu sat alone, using the guqin to occupy the seat next to him. While drinking, he paid attention to see who was coming.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lian just came to the banquet and left everyone.

Chu Shuzhen didn't know why, but after a while he saw Wang Lian arriving with Prince Shen Hebei. Shen Hebei actually came to Wang Lian's banquet!

Chu Shu almost dropped his jaw!

Although Shen Hebei's reputation is known to everyone in the capital, he is said to be a humble young man, as gentle as jade. Although he has a reputation of being romantic and elegant, he is very clean and has never been contaminated by the dust of the world.

Chu Shu naturally thought so.

When I became a monk, I thought to myself that Shen Hebei was probably the only person in Beijing I could get to know.

Chu Shu had never had the opportunity to recognize Shen Hebei, so his knowledge of him was only hearsay.

When I saw Shen Hebei today, I just thought that Wang Lian would be proud to invite Shen Hebei.

When Shen Hebei arrived, except for Chu Shu, the others didn't seem too surprised. Everyone left the table and came to pay homage to the prince.

Chu Shu also joined in.

When Shen Hebei saw Chu Shu here, he pursed his lips and smiled and said, "It's the first time we've met. I've admired him for a long time. I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to hear Master Chu's music?"

Chu Shu was very excited when he heard this. He raised his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has said so, how can I not play a song live?"

After saying that, everyone around him sat down.

Chu Shu played a melodious ancient tune while paying attention to the guests around him.

After all, Chu Shu felt that this banquet was not simple.

I saw Shen Hebei talking to Wang Lian from time to time, and the people around them seemed to have a tacit agreement to sit farther away and not listen to their discussion.

When Chu Shu saw this, he felt a little confused, but he didn't dare to make any mistakes and just played.

After the performance, he was taken over to drink.

When Chu Shu paid attention, he found that Shen Hebei was already leaving.

Chu Shu immediately left everyone behind and went up to say goodbye to Wang Lian.

Shen Hebei was at the door. Hearing Chu Shu's loud words of farewell to Wang Lian, he immediately turned sideways and said with a smile: "Master Chu drank a lot today. Stop riding. How about Xiao Wang giving you a ride?"

Chu Shu couldn't wait to do it, so he immediately took advantage of the drunkenness and casually got into the carriage.

In the carriage, Chu Shu sat casually on one side, and Shen Hebei leaned on the other side. The fragrance was lit in the sedan, covering up some of Chu Shu's alcohol smell.

"Your Majesty, you didn't even drink a glass of wine?"

As he spoke, Chu Shu rubbed his nose with his hand and apologized: "I'm afraid the smell of alcohol from the lower official has suffocated the prince, otherwise I'll go down and go on my own, right?"

Shen Hebei smiled gently and said, "No."

As he spoke, Shen Hebei rubbed his sleeves and asked with a smile: "I didn't expect that Eunuch Wang could invite Master Chu. It's really surprising."

Chu Shu heard this and told what happened today when Shen Yanzhi was called to punish him and Wang Lian helped him speak.

"Having said so, I can only come to the banquet, but the prince is also back. I never expected it!"

Shen Hebei smiled slightly and said, "I am helpless."

Chu Shu felt that Shen Hebei was not telling the truth, but he didn't ask too much, so he kept it in mind.

"Do the prince and the prince have a good relationship?"

Shen Hebei sighed and said: "It's not that good, I just want to give face and it's more convenient to be in the palace, don't you think?"
