In Love

The second day is the grand court meeting.

In this grand court meeting, Yan Jingze can be said to have stolen the limelight.

It was only half a month since he took over Cai Tinghe’s case, and he had investigated the matter clearly, which made many people look at him with admiration.

Of course, it also made many people hate him.

Emperor Chengde didn’t know that his son had made the decision to marry into Su’s family yesterday, so he was very pleased to the eye at the moment.

His second, third, and fourth son all fan the flames in Cai Tinghe’s case, but this son was innocent from beginning to end.

After all, he was busy making contact with those candidates who rushed to the capital for the exam.

In addition…when this son handled the case, he didn’t give anyone faces at all, he offended so many people in one go. This kind of behavior also made Emperor Chengde feel at ease with him.

In the future, when the crown prince ascends the throne, it would be good to let this son be the crown prince’s right-hand man and assist the crown prince.

Emperor Chengde smiled and praised Yan Jingze in the court hall.

Of course, Su Moxiu was not left out either.

Emperor Chengde still ‘understood’ his fifth child’s ability. He didn’t think his fifth son was responsible for this case. He felt that most of the things should be done by Su Moxiu.

Besides, the statement sent up was all in Su Moxiu’s handwriting.

After Yan Jingze and Su Moxiu received praise and rewards, Emperor Chengde asked them to stay after the court meeting – he wanted to talk to them.

At the end of the court meeting, everyone slowly exited the hall.

Su Moxiu stood at the end of the line, so he was the first group to retreat outside.

Once outside, standing in the sun, he attracted everyone’s attention.

He is not only young but also extremely handsome, so the young man who has just reached adulthood stands there like an evergreen pine and verdant bamboo, very outstanding.

Secondly…His majesty praised this one a lot just now.

Before his majesty asked him to leave the Imperial Study, everyone thought that he might have offended his majesty and got dismissed, but now it seems…His majesty clearly wanted to promote him.

“I didn’t expect mister Su to be not only knowledgeable, but also good at handling cases.” Someone walked over with a smile and started talking to Su Moxiu.

Su Moxiu responded with a smile.

His face was pale and his lips were bloodless.

He knelt in the ancestral hall for an hour last night, and then had a long talk with his father, staying up all night…

However, it wasn’t these things that made him look so bad.

Although he took the initiative to ask his father to drive him out of the family, his heart…was really uncomfortable.

The foggy future, as well as the pain caused by being separated from the family, made him breathless.

However, nothing showed on his face.

Someone asked him about the case, so he smiled and said something he could say.

In the past half a month, he followed the fifth prince and did all kinds of chores, such as helping to record and organize.

But the fifth prince wanted to keep a low profile, so he gave him all the credit.

While Su Moxiu was talking to someone, he saw the third prince walking towards him.

Among his majesty’s many princes, the third prince’s literary talent is recognized as good and he has written many popular poems.

Su Moxiu admired the third prince before, but now that he has been with the fifth prince, he feels that the third prince is very ordinary.

The third prince came here because he wanted to invite Su Moxiu to participate in a scholar meeting he held.

Su Moxiu thanked the third prince with a smile, and said that as long as he was free, he would definitely go there.

He acted very alienated, so the third prince had no choice but to leave, followed closely by the fourth prince passing by and glared at him bitterly.

Su Moxiu stood where he was, smiling gently.

When the courtiers dispersed, an eunuch came to him and asked him to go to the side hall to wait for Emperor Chengde to summon him.

Su Moxiu had been following Emperor Chengde before, so these eunuchs knew his preferences and even served him his favorite tea.

Su Moxiu sat down, took a sip of tea, and felt better.

At this moment, Yan Jingze was talking to Emperor Chengde in the imperial study.

Emperor Chengde was in a good mood. He praised Yan Jingze a few words, and then asked Yan Jingze what reward he wanted – the reward he gave before was just on the surface, he didn’t mind giving his son something more in private.

Then, Emperor Chengde heard his son say: “Emperor father, can you marry Su Moxiu and me? I want to marry into the Su family!”

Emperor Chengde’s smile froze on his face: “What did you say?”

Yan Jingze told Emperor Chengde again what he had said to the crown prince yesterday.

Emperor Chengde took a few deep breaths. He was a little thankful that because this son always spoke surprisingly, he didn’t have anyone around him except Hu Zhongshun who had been serving him all the time.

If there are others, he would lose face to others!

However, since Hu Zhongshun was the only one present, he really wanted to beat his son now, but he was just thinking about it.

His son won’t just stand there and let him beat him anyway. He will definitely run away, and once this man runs away, he won’t be able to beat him!

Emperor Chengde could only reason with his son, saying that this matter was not acceptable.

Yan Jingze said that he didn’t want the two to get married with great fanfare, Emperor Chengde only needed to go and make an agreement with Su Gu, and let him and Su Moxiu marry in private.

Emperor Chengde disagreed, he couldn’t lose face.

Besides… He still hasn’t accepted that his son has a crush on a man!

Emperor Chengde tried to persuade his son to marry a woman with a lower status as his wife, and then had a private relationship with Su Moxiu.

Yan Jingze said: “That’s not okay. If I get married, I can’t stop Su Moxiu from getting married. I can’t stand him looking at women.” He will never marry a woman to harm others, and neither can Su Moxiu.

“Then tell him not to look for them!” Emperor Chengde said.

“What if no one keeps an eye on them? If he lives with me, my wife is also there, and then they…” Yan Jingze gave Emperor Chengde a ‘you understand’ look.

Emperor Chengde: “…” He understands, this son of his really has big messy thoughts!

Emperor Chengde argued with his son for a long time.

He has always been a person who can’t stand others disobeying him, but this son looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, he really can’t do anything to him.

A tiger doesn’t eat its son, so he can’t do anything to kill this son.

But…After arguing for a long time, Emperor Chengde, who couldn’t say anything about his son, suddenly thought of something: “Su Moxiu is also interested in you?”

“I think so.” Yan Jingze said.

Emperor Chengde was not very reasonable, he was afraid that after telling Emperor Chengde that Su Moxiu liked him, Emperor Chengde would be dissatisfied with Su Moxiu, so he kept the matter a secret.

Emperor Chengde: “…” His son has even thought about marrying him, but Su Moxiu hasn’t agreed yet!

If he were Su Moxiu, he would definitely look down on this thing!

“Emperor father, I’m a prince, he must like me.” Yan Jingze followed up.

“Get lost!” Emperor Chengde picked up the inkstone and threw it out.

When Su Moxiu was helping in the imperial study, he felt that this child was extremely capable and had a bright future.

It’s a pity that this promising child was targeted by his son.

When Emperor Chengde was discussing Yan Jingze’s ‘marriage’ with Yan Jingze, the crown prince carried AFu into the palace.

The crown prince knew that his younger brother probably wanted to tell Emperor Chengde about his matter with Su Moxiu. He was afraid that Emperor Chengde would blame his younger brother, so he made a special trip to the East Palace and brought his son here.

Emperor Chengde liked AFu very much, he would not get angry at will in front of the kid. With AFu around, Emperor Chengde would not chase and beat his younger brother, right?

Because of this, the crown prince told AFu to be obedient when he saw his emperor’s grandfather and protect his fifth imperial uncle.

AFu: Exhuasting!

He tried every means to make his father guard against his fifth imperial uncle, but his father was devoted to protecting his fifth imperial uncle!

His father is too stupid!

AFu, who was full of grievances, was taken to the vicinity of the imperial study, and then he saw a handsome young man sitting in the side hall drinking tea.

“Ziyan, the fifth imperial brother hasn’t come out yet?” The crown prince asked gently. The person in front of him was his ‘brother-in-law’, so his attitude must be better.

“Yes.” Su Moxiu got up and bowed.

“You don’t need to bow, I’ll go in and have a look.” The crown prince said and put down his son and walked to the imperial study.

Su Moxiu had already bowed, so after he finished, he sat down again.

AFu looked at the person in front of him curiously.

This person can face the emperor at a young age, his father also seems very familiar with him, someone also serves him tea, he’s really not simple at first glance.

But in his memory, there was no such person.

In addition…After his father put him down, he suddenly became very short. Looking up at the man in front of him from the bottom up, he noticed that his hands were shaking a little, his face didn’t seem very well, he seemed very uncomfortable.

AFu walked over and asked, “Who are you?”

Su Moxiu smiled at the little imperial grandson, and revealed his identity.

When AFu heard that this man was Su Gu’s fourth son, he was a little surprised, but at the same time he understood why he didn’t know this man.

Su Gu had four sons and one daughter.

His fourth son is said to have been in poor health since he was a child and died at a young age when his father was still the crown prince.

Later, when Su Gu’s eldest son became an official outside of the capital, he fell ill and passed away.

Su Gu was not young at that time, so the death of his eldest son brought him a great blow. He fell ill for a while, and then supported his sick body to help his fifth imperial uncle consolidate the throne.

As a result, his fifth imperial uncle had just secured the throne, before he could conferred Su Gu’s youngest daughter, who was married to his fifth imperial uncle, as the empress, she passed away.

Su Gu really couldn’t take it anymore and returned home after a serious illness.

AFu blinked his eyes and looked at Su Gu’s youngest son, whom he had no impression of at all, and who he had never known before: “What are you doing here?”

He is obviously still a little bean, but he talks like an adult. In addition…this child is well-raised, chubby, with fair skin. When he blinks, his long eyelashes flicker, making people want to go to touch.

Su Moxiu said, “I’m waiting for his majesty to summon me.”

“What did emperor grandpa summon you for?”

“Because I did a job well.” Su Moxiu felt very uncomfortable. Talking to the child would make him feel more relaxed, so he chatted with the little imperial grandson.

Talking and talking, seeing that the child is so cute, he can’t help but wonder – will the fifth prince’s future child be so cute?

Also, if the fifth prince wants to compete for the position, what will happen to this child in the future?

Su Moxiu didn’t doubt that the fifth prince wanted the throne.

When the crown prince was in trouble before, neither the fifth prince nor the empress had ever helped the crown prince. He had seen the fifth prince look at the crown prince with gloomy eyes before.

Besides……

He mentioned to the fifth prince how to get his majesty’s favor before, and the fifth prince listened very carefully.

The fifth prince is so smart, but he has been hiding himself all this time, he has never shown himself in front of others all these years!

The most important thing is…If the fifth prince didn’t have this intention, why did get close to Jiang Qi, why did he get close to him?

The fifth prince clearly doesn’t like men.

He jumped into the lake yesterday, he should have noticed that the lake is very shallow.

Su Moxiu’s expression became even more depressed.

AFu felt sympathy for this person: “Are you feeling unwell? Take a good rest!”

Su Moxiu smiled and said, “I will.”

AFu followed up with: “Let me tell you, a person’s health is the most important thing!” He passed away before he turned 40, he felt a loss when he thought about it!

He must live longer in this life!

Su Moxiu smiled sincerely when he saw a child saying such words in an old-fashioned way.

AFu felt that this man had a pretty smile, and wanted to inquire about the news, so he said, “Brother of the Su family…I went to play in empress grandmother’s palace before, and I heard that my fifth imperial uncle is going to marry your younger sister as his wangfei, is that true?”

Su Moxiu was taken aback, and asked after a moment: “When did your highness hear that?”

AFu just made it up in front of the crown prince yesterday, so now he said: “Just a few days ago. I heard the fifth imperial uncle tell empress grandmother that he wants to marry the Su family young lady.”

In the past, he had been staying in the East Palace and could not get out. These days, it was probably because of his well-behaved behavior that his father always sent him to the palace…asking him to accompany his empress grandmother, or his emperor grandfather.

He is happy to accompany his emperor grandpa, as for his empress grandma…

He was very afraid of this grandmother, who was fond of farming now. He pretends to be a good boy who didn’t know anything when he went there, so he could get by.
