The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 159

[Chapter 157]

Mr. Xu’s mood is also very complicated. No matter who’s daughter is wrong, it will not feel good to see the person who caused all the trouble if no one else is talking.

But he couldn’t say anything. His daughter made a mistake first, so he couldn’t blame His Majesty for it, and he didn’t dare.

Shang Junlin had a good reputation, and the ministers were very afraid of him, especially the ministers like Mr. Xu who had been serving outside the capital and had only heard of His Majesty’s behavior from others.

How Shang Junlin used bloody means to force the late emperor to abdicate is no secret in the hearts of the old ministers. Mr. Xu has served outside for many years, but it does not mean that he has no connections in the capital, otherwise it will not be his turn to be transferred back to the capital this time. .

As an official, who doesn’t want to stay in the center of power?

Relatively speaking, Mrs. Xu’s fear of Shang Junlin is not so deep. She is a woman, and she has been the favorite of the family since childhood. After marrying, her husband also obeys her words. It can be said that she has a smooth life in her life. What setbacks have you encountered.

until today.

Knowing what his wife’s temperament was, Mrs. Xu pulled Mrs. Rush’s sleeve and whispered, “That’s Your Majesty and Your Majesty.” During the

conversation, the two sides got closer and closer.

“My minister sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty.” Lord Xu knelt down to salute, and Madam Xu knelt down with him.

Shang Junlin looked down at them for a while, and just when there was a cold sweat on the back of Master Xu, he opened his mouth.

“No gift.”

Master Xu hurriedly pulled his wife up and watched Shang Junlin and Shen Yu leave.

“Is your Majesty the one who walked with His Majesty? His Majesty loves him very much?” Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Madam Xu wondered what she was thinking.

“Yes, before entering the palace, His Majesty bestowed the title of ‘Noble Monarch’. After entering the palace, he was loved by thousands of people. His Majesty even declared to the public that there will only be one Noble Jun in this life.” Mr. Xu sighed. .

“Your Majesty is a man, does your Majesty say that the ministers will not object?”

“How can you not object? Who doesn’t want to send their daughter into the palace to fight for a future, but what’s the use of objecting? His Majesty has determined that only the noble one is needed, and he has punished several ministers for this.” In order to divert Madam Xu’s attention , to dispel some of the thoughts in her mind that she should not have, Master Xu deliberately said a few more words.

“Really?” Madam Xu retracted her gaze and asked about other matters, “Do you have any way to contact Hanzhou in the shortest time possible?”

“What are you contacting there for? Don’t worry, even if His Majesty sends someone to go there. Check, you won’t find anything.” After the initial panic, Master Xu is not as helpless as he was at the beginning, no matter what, he has been rooted in Hanzhou for a long time, and there are all his people up and down. So what if His Majesty sent officials to investigate? If he could find out, which round would he be transferred to the capital?

“What should I do about Junjun?” Thinking of her daughter, Mrs. Xu felt a pain in her heart.

“As for Junjun, I will find a way.” Master Xu patted Madam Xu’s hand.

The imperial decree has not been officially promulgated yet, and Mr. Xu, who was seen by the officials, came to greet him enthusiastically. Mr. Xu did not dare to reveal anything at this time, and tried his best to pretend to be happy and talk to the other party.

Shen Yu and Shang Junlin first went to the place where the prey was piled up. They went out and the harvest was not small. There were rabbits, deer, deer… all kinds of prey.

“Besides venison, what else would Ayu want to eat? Roast rabbits?”

Shen Yu pointed out a few items, and the palace servants took them to deal with them. After they were done, they only needed to roast them.

It was very lively outside, and people kept returning from Sanlin, bringing their own prey, in groups of three and two, and complimenting each other.

Shen Yu and Shang Junlin walked on the grass hand in hand. They didn’t go to crowded places, and others wouldn’t wink over to disturb them.

In the late autumn, the air turns cooler, especially at night, when the temperature is very low, Shen Yu put on a cloak, and still felt the chill seep in.

Shang Junlin touched his increasingly cold hand and gave up the idea of continuing to go out.

Approaching the fire, there was a steady stream of hot air, and Shen Yu couldn’t help but want to get closer.

The competition will last for three days, and it is still the first day. After the person in charge has counted the prey, everyone can gather to enjoy the delicious food hunted during the day.

The palace servants brought the processed meat.

Shen Yu rested his chin with one hand and looked at the handsome profile of the man.

The flames were dancing, and the man who was seriously roasting meat was full of fireworks. It was hard to imagine that the hands used to write and kill the enemy could also be used to do such a down-to-earth thing.

Shang Junlin skillfully grilled the meat, and after a while, the meat slices made a “sizzling” sound, and the rich aroma wafted out.

Shen Yu moved his nose, and his eyes fell on Shang Junlin’s hand.

“It smells so good.”

“Are you hungry? You can eat it after a while.” The

aroma became stronger and stronger. Shang Junlin put the roasted meat on a plate and handed it to Shen Yu: “Try it.

” After a while, after confirming that the meat was not so hot, Shen Yu took a piece and put it in his mouth.

After chewing and swallowing it in three or two bites, Shen Yu finished eating a whole piece of meat and said in surprise: “Your Majesty’s craftsmanship is beyond my expectations, it’s so delicious.”

Shen Yu said that it was just simple to ask Shang Junlin to help him roast the meat. He just wanted to eat the meat he roasted, and he could close his eyes and praise if he could swallow it. Who knew that Shang Junlin’s roasted meat was so delicious, so he didn’t know how to praise it.

Seeing that Shen Yu liked it, Shang Junlin roasted a few more slices. Different meats tasted different. The only thing that was the same was how delicious they were.

Shen Yu was originally a big eater, and he accidentally ate too much, which made it a little uncomfortable.

They roasted most of the venison, and several rabbits, most of which were roasted by Shang Junlin himself, and some were roasted by palace servants, and some of them went into Shang Junlin’s belly.

Shen Yu also roasted it several times, the first time the meat was burnt, the second time it was undercooked, and after several failures, Shen Yu gave up.

Rubbing his stomach, looking at the unfinished barbecue, Shen Yu was in a dilemma: “There are so many unfinished…”

Even if the weather is cold, the meat will not be fresh until tomorrow.

“Distribute some to the palace servants, and then give some to the ministers, and that’s about it.” Shang Jun said sternly.

After being instructed, the palace servants divided the roasted meat, and the Prime Minister and Master Fang, the ministers who were highly relied on by the Shang Jun, could all get a portion.

Barbecue is nothing, but it symbolizes the importance the emperor places on his subjects.

Not to mention the thoughts of those who received barbecued meat and those who did not receive it, Shen Yu ate a meal of meat roasted by Shang Junlin, at the cost of having to eat outside in the evening.

“If you don’t look at you, you will feel even more uncomfortable now.” Shang Junlin put a hand around Shen Yu’s waist, supporting his weight, with a somewhat helpless tone.

“Your Majesty’s own roasted meat is not something you can eat casually.” Shen Yu said while aftertaste, if it wasn’t too delicious, he wouldn’t eat it.

“Deer meat and deer blood is a great tonic. I will go back and ask Imperial Physician Gu to give you some medicine to clear away heat and reduce fire.”

Shen Yu realized this later, and widened his eyes: “How much did I just eat?”

Shang Junlin calculated and gave the answer: “A lot, you obviously prefer venison compared to other meats.”

When Shen Yu eats, he does choose more of what he likes to eat. After thinking about it, it seems, probably, maybe he really ate a lot.

“No wonder I feel warm on my body now, not cold at all.” Shen Yu felt it, even if the wind blows, it won’t make him feel cold.

“What about Your Majesty, did Your Majesty eat a lot of venison just now?” Shen Yu stopped.

“I don’t pick meat, it depends on what kind of meat you give me.”

When roasting meat, Shang Junlin was responsible for roasting Shen Yu, and when Shen Yu ate it by himself, he did not forget Shang Junlin, half of the meat went into his mouth Inside, half of the meat went into Shang Junlin’s mouth.

Shang Junlin has a relatively large appetite, and Shen Yu wanted to bake it for him, but what he baked were all failures, so he could only let the palace servants bake it, and then feed it to Shang Junlin.

Shang Junlin is very easy to serve when it comes to eating, basically what Shen Yu feeds and what he eats.

“Your Majesty also drank deer blood.” Thinking of the possible consequences of venison and deer blood, he was silent, “Let’s go outside and go back.” If

I knew earlier, I would not be greedy, and Shen Yu didn’t want to come at all. On the second day of the autumn hunting, for one reason or another, he could only stay in the tent.

With Shang Junlin’s physical strength and the effect of deer blood, Shen Yu didn’t dare to think about the consequences.

“You have to wait until you don’t endure so much before you can go back to rest.” Shang Junlin was noncommittal.

It was already completely dark. Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were walking behind the tent. On the other side, the ministers and their families gathered around the bonfire. The gap between their identities was not as obvious as usual. It was a rare opportunity to relax.

Ministers no longer talk about government affairs, but talk about what they have seen and heard during the day, about the game that each family has caught, or finding objects for their children.

Young people who perform well in autumn hunting every year can not only make a good impression in front of the emperor, but also get a good marriage.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu also wanted to take this opportunity to find a good husband for their daughter. Now, let alone her daughter, even whether he can continue to stay in the capital is a question. Naturally, they have no such thoughts.

Mrs. Xu did not show anything unusual, and chatted with the ladies of the various families enthusiastically.

It was getting late at night. After everyone finished eating and drinking, they went back to rest. Master Xu turned his head, but he couldn’t find his wife. He was about to send someone to look for it, when he saw Madam Xu hurried over.

“What have you been doing?”

“I just had a drink and felt a little bored. Go to a place with few people to breathe.”

Mr. Xu doubted that he was there: “The banquet is over, let’s go back to rest.”

“Okay.” See you. He didn’t doubt it, and Madam Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

After Shen Yuxiao finished eating, he returned to the tent with Shang Junlin. He was very worried about what the man would do with the opportunity. He didn’t expect that Shang Junlin would behave well until he fell asleep, without any overstepping.

There was nothing wrong with Shen Yu himself, and finally relieved, he slowly fell asleep.

Until midnight, he was woken up by the heat.

It was like being thrown into the stove, clamoring for the heat from the inside out, Shen Yu tugged at his clothes and lifted the quilt.

His movement was not small, and Shang Junlin realized something was wrong almost as soon as he started to be restless.

His arm was originally on the youth’s waist, but was pushed away impatiently by the very hot youth.

The front of his clothes was rubbed open, and the enthusiasm not only did not drop, but also became more and more intense. Shen Yu struggled to open his eyes, only to feel that he had fallen from one illusion to another.

“Ayu?” Shen Yu

grabbed the man’s outstretched hand, his enthusiasm was relieved, as if inspired, he chased the man’s arm and rubbed it into the man’s arms.

He heard the man’s slightly smiling voice sounding above his head: “Take the initiative to give him a hug, after waking up, Hao Ayu can’t blame me.”
