Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 15 Aftermath
Emperor Fengyang lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes half dark and half bright: "The royal family members already know that you went to the Imperial College that day.

If there is a disaster in Yinxu County, what do you think they will do? "

Ye Wanqing and Emperor Fengyang looked at each other for a moment, and then said softly: "Either you fight for me in the name of the Saint, or you get rid of me in the name of the disaster."

"Are you afraid?" asked Emperor Fengyang.

Ye Wanqing's eyes were sore and unbearable: "I'm afraid."

She was afraid that she could not protect Chu Anlan and the thousands of people in Yinxu County.

She was afraid that she would still live a meaningless life in this life...

Emperor Fengyang stared at her for a moment, then said tiredly, "Come here, call the Crown Prince and Lu Jilian."

Crown Prince Chu Gongxiao and Lu Jilian arrived very quickly.

When he entered the hall, the palace servants had been cleared out, not even a personal servant.

Emperor Fengyang sat on the dragon throne, his slightly old face expressionless, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.

Chu Gongxiao and Lu Jilian stood one after the other and bowed to greet them.

Emperor Fengyang raised his hand: "Stand up."

The two of them then looked up.

At a glance, he saw Chu Yanrong and Ye Wanqing standing quietly by the side.

The two of them greeted Chu Yanrong again.

Chu Yanrong nodded.

When he withdrew his gaze, Lu Jilian's eyes lingered on Ye Wanqing's face for a moment longer.

Ye Wanqing deliberately avoided his sight.

Lu Jilian withdrew his gaze.

In front, Chu Gongxiao took the initiative to speak: "I wonder what the emperor wants me and Master Lu to do?"

Lu Jilian looked towards the dragon throne.

Emperor Fengyang's eyes, which were not angry but dignified, passed over the two people's faces: "The place where the flood occurred in the south is Yinxu County."

"What?" Chu Gongxiao was surprised: "Didn't the people from the Imperial Observatory say that they couldn't calculate the exact location? How could it be..."

He suddenly fell silent.

His gaze shifted from Emperor Fengyang's face to the silent Chu Yanrong and Ye Wanqing, and finally, landed on Lu Jilian.

Lu Jilian lowered his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.

Chu Gongxiao was shocked.

He glanced quickly at Ye Wanqing.

Seeing his expression, Emperor Fengyang took a sip of the already cold tea and said, "Tell me, how do we deal with this?"

The question is about the matter, but the target is people.

The Emperor wants to take care of Ye Wanqing...

When she was checking the studies of those unlearned royal family members, she used the excuse of a dream to tell them the news of the flood and seek a solution.

As a result, she got herself into trouble.

Although Chu Gongxiao was shocked and suspicious, and was curious about Ye Wanqing, he still focused and said, "This matter is due to my lack of consideration.

I will summon the royal family members who were in the Imperial Academy that day later and order them to keep their mouths shut..."

"Is this the foolproof plan you came up with?" Emperor Fengyang interrupted him in a cold voice.

Chu Gongxiao: "..."

Emperor Fengyang looked at Lu Jilian: "Prince Lu?"

Lu Jilian cupped his hands and said, "The Emperor loves the Princess and wants to find a good husband for her. Hearing that the Crown Prince was checking the studies of the royal family's children at the Imperial College, he asked the Princess to go and sit in.

It just so happened that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory predicted a landslide, so the Emperor asked the princess to set questions on your behalf to test the royal family members of the day..."

As he spoke, he took a step forward and bent his waist even deeper: "I dare to say that the princes of the royal family are indulging in pleasure and are ignorant and incompetent. They should be severely punished. In addition, the water supervision department should also be rectified."

The prince and Chu Yanrong were horrified as they listened nearby.

Emperor Fengyang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness in his pupils.

Ye Wanqing held her breath and looked into Lu Jilian's amber-like, clear and calm eyes, and his face as bright as the moon.

A modest gentleman with elegant demeanor.

His aura, as gentle as the wind, was not at all inferior to the fierce aura of the emperor.

At the age of twenty, Lu Jilian already had the aura of a powerful official who was granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister, second only to everyone else... The entire hall was so quiet that it seemed that only the sound of heartbeats could be heard.

Suddenly, Emperor Fengyang laughed.

A cold hand held Ye Wanqing's hand through her sleeve, making her almost shiver.

She glanced sideways slightly.

Chu Yanrong seemed to be relieved and smiled at her with a pale face.

Ye Wanqing clearly felt that her mother was afraid.

After Chu Yanrong married her lover, she was immersed in the honeypot for more than 20 years. Meanwhile, her brother became more and more lonely in that position.

The blood-thicker-than-water ties between family members are becoming increasingly weak.

Ye Wanqing lowered her sleeves, held her mother's hand back, and patted her gently in a soothing manner.

Emperor Fengyang did not see the actions of the mother and daughter.

He looked at the young officials in the center of the hall as if he was looking at a rising sun: "I like young people. Seeing you is like seeing the future Western Wei.

Vigorous, full of vitality and full of hope..."

Lu Jilian cupped his hands and said, "I and the Lu family will always be loyal to the emperor and the crown prince, and we are willing to burn our bones for the prosperity of the Western Wei Dynasty."

Emperor Fengyang's eyebrows finally relaxed: "Crown Prince."

Chu Gongxiao said: "Your son is here."

Emperor Fengyang looked at the prince he had personally raised and said, "Prince Lu is quick-witted, thoughtful, and well-controlled. You should learn more from him."

Chu Gongxiao glanced at Lu Jilian and said, "Yes."

The oppressive atmosphere that had permeated for a long time suddenly dissipated.

The ice in the hall melted completely, and the temperature inside rose little by little, making the already sleepy Emperor Fengyang even more tired.

He took a sip of the cold tea and said, "It's getting late. My sister should take Wanqing back home first. Lord Lu, send them off."

The three of them looked back and forth.

Emperor Fengyang said again: "Prince, please stay. I have something to tell you."

"Yes."

The gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony opened and closed again.

Walking on the white marble square, with sunlight pouring down from overhead, Chu Yanrong raised her head and shivered slightly with restraint, dispelling the chillness from her body one by one.

Ye Wanqing supported her with worry and guilt.

Chu Yanrong shook her head at her and turned to look at the person behind her.

Five steps away, Lu Jilian, dressed in a crescent-shaped white brocade robe, stood tall and graceful, his amber eyes reflecting the sunlight, gentle and calm.

He and Ye Wanqing standing together, they must be a perfect match made in heaven.

pity……

Chu Yanrong said gently, "Master Lu is busy with official duties, so there is no need to see us off. Please give my regards to the old lady later."

Lu Jilian bowed and saluted: "The emperor asked Jilian to escort His Highness and the Princess. This is Jilian's official duty. Your Highness, Princess, please."

Chu Yanrong: "..."

Seeing that her mother was still silent and Lu Jilian was waiting, Ye Wanqing had no choice but to speak: "Thank you, Master Lu."

Lu Ji Lian straightened up and smiled gently at her.

Ye Wanqing pretended not to see it.

The sun sets in the west.

The long street is lined with shops, people are coming and going, and it is bustling and lively.

Therefore, everyone who went out on the street today saw that on the white horse next to the Ye family's carriage sat the young master of the most aristocratic family in the Western Wei Dynasty, Lu Jilian, who was rarely seen in public but was famous throughout the Western Wei Dynasty.

The young man on horseback is like a beautiful orchid that has fallen into the mortal world.

Suddenly, the wind lifted a corner of the tightly covered carriage, revealing half of a beautiful face.

The people on the street were silent, and only after the carriage had gone far away did they begin to discuss the matter.

"The one in the carriage is the princess, right?"

"She is truly a beauty as beautiful as pearls and jade."

"Didn't Prince Dun's Mansion propose marriage to the Ye Mansion a few days ago? What's going on with this Prince Lu?"
