Chapter 61
The banquet ended as scheduled, and even Chang Le, who has always been a monster, almost slept on the couch for more than half.

In the second half, everyone had a tacit understanding to keep silent about some things, and some early signs were suppressed by the so-called "non-discussion of government affairs".

Originally, You Yan wanted to talk about the Qingzhou Copper Mine incident, but he brought it up with the determination to wash away his grievances.

He was choked back again by Song Yan, his tone was cold, "Your Majesty only told me one thing, eat and drink well."

After everyone heard this, their hearts were relieved a bit, and they acted boldly, but they only said "eat and drink well" in their hearts, and they didn't know anything else.

When returning to the general's mansion, Ah Shui wrapped Chu Shou layer after layer, and his slightly drunken flushed face deepened a bit.

After getting into the carriage, Chu Shou took off all at once.

Shocked and helpless, Ah Shui lowered his voice and whispered, "Miss, I didn't see the third and fourth princes at the banquet today."

Sanqian said: "No, the fourth prince has been crowned king, and the third prince has gone somewhere."

Chu Shou paused slightly, lowered his eyes and asked, "Miss Su...have you received any letters recently?"

Both shook their heads, indicating that they had not received any letters.

Chu Shou counted with his fingers, feeling uneasy in his heart, "Could it be that the princess..."

Sanqianyi clapped her hands, "I did hear some news at the dinner today, I thought it was... it couldn't really be Miss Su."

Chu Shou sent three thousand to inquire quickly, and leaned on the side weakly.

If Su Tiying failed to escape, then the movements representing Shang Qi's caravan would also be exposed, and there would be reasons why the third prince Zhao Zhen did not attend.

Zhao Zhen didn't seem to care much about the throne, after all, he still had a younger brother who was born on his head.

But in the whole capital city, only one person can affect his obsession. Zhao Zhen's obsession with Shang Qi is almost paranoid.

This also became a large part of the reason why Shang Qi stayed away from Kyoto with the caravan.

Wherever Shang Qi went, Zhao Zhen followed him. He handed her water when she was thirsty, and held up an umbrella when it rained.

At that time, the children were naughty, and Zhao Zhen, as the prince, still followed them up and down the capital city to make mischief.

Shang Qi has the whole world in his heart, the capital city is very big and small, too small to hold Nan Fei's Yan, and too small to imprison Zhao Zhen tightly.

What's more, a merchant's daughter is doomed not to walk into that high red wall. Even if she fights for blood, the outcome is hard to say.

So, Shang Qi left the place she was most familiar with, and turned into a cloud of white clouds in the sky, in the south, in the north, in short, in a direction that Zhao Zhen would never reach.

It sounds sad and heartless.

But the two of them have their own obsessions, sometimes Chu Shou feels that they are very similar, with the same stubbornness and the same sadness.

That feeling is like a bubble, indistinct, blending and dissipating.

Some people enjoy the moment of intimacy but are extremely happy, while others choose to bloom alone in a calm puddle, maybe in a certain morning, maybe in a certain night.

Soon, before returning to the General's Mansion, Sanqian came back with news.

Chu Shou's assumption was correct. On the afternoon when she saw Su Tiying off, the carriage was stopped by the fourth prince leading people before it even drove a few miles outside the city.

As a condition for protecting her mother, Su Tiying still married the fourth prince on a certain day, and the fourth prince was named Wang Wenxuan at that time.

The greeting post of Princess Wenxuan received by the General's Mansion also has a source.

Chu Shou stretched out his hand to pinch the hexagram, shook his head, knowing it in his heart.

Ah Shui frowned, and asked softly, "How?"

"The variable is coming."

After Chu Shou finished speaking, the carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the General's Mansion, and Ah Shui quickly put a thick cloak on her.

She got out of the carriage and looked up at the thick plaque. The words on it were strong and powerful, but under the autumn wind, there was a trace of desolation out of thin air.

After that banquet, Changle was sent by the emperor to take the envoys of the two countries to visit the capital.

It is a good name to say that Changle is the most familiar with the capital, but in fact, His Majesty wants Changle to be busy, so as to filter out some bad ideas in his mind.

Chu Shou was not worried about what kind of moths would come out of Changle, after all, Fang Yuan was seriously injured, so he naturally did his best to His Majesty's instructions.

As for the envoys who came from afar, Chu Shou also had no time to take care of them. He heard that His Majesty called the Metropolitan Procuratorate to ask Song Yanqing to protect them.

Chu Shou spent the whole day in the palace worshiping the gods. After all, she had promised the goddess to reshape her body.

Coincidentally, Lu Xiaonian, who got the help of the new official to take office, sent a large piece of high-quality jade to thank Chu Shou.

So Chu Shou recruited Mr. Yun Yi, who had previously built a garden for her from the Ministry of Industry, to make the goddess statue together.

Yun Yi is a young genius, especially in handicrafts and construction, so he was naturally included in the Ministry of Industry.

His first design and construction was the back garden of Chu Shou in the General's Mansion.

Chu Shou expressed quite satisfaction, the most important thing is that no matter what unconstrained ideas Chu Shou has, Lord Yunyi can always help her realize them.

This made her very admired.

Sometimes Chu Shou and Yun Yi worked together for a day, and the exquisite jade also took shape after repeated measurements and polishing.

The two of them could sit still, but one couldn't sit still.

The ghost knows how Lu Xiaonian entered the palace, and how he came to the Fengshen Temple.

"Help, ancestor, can you put down what you are doing and listen to me?"

Chu Shou sighed, put down the tools in his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and sat with Lu Xiaonian on the threshold of the main hall.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Lu Xiaonian was almost moved to tears, friend, you don't know how difficult it is for me to find you...

"Li Shen, Mr. Li! Mr. Li! That old man has been staring at me recently, opposing me everywhere."

"You don't conflict with him, what about you?"

Chu Shou rolled up his sleeves, held a piece of jade in his hand, and looked towards Tianguang, not knowing what he was doing.

"It's not enough for him to break through half of the Lu family, he wants to kill me..."

Lu Xiaonian gritted his teeth and endured it. He changed his official position just for the benefit of his own business, and handing over the evidence to Chu Shou was just to get rid of the trouble.

Unexpectedly, the trouble was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, making me feel fishy all over.

After hearing this, Chu Shou stopped what he was doing, and said with a smile: "You know, in Li Shen's mind, fame and fortune are more important than anything else. If you harvest an official from you, you can add a few more money to his fame and fortune book. He is so embarrassing. You're not surprised either."

Lu Xiaonian also laughed, leaned close to Chu Shou, and said softly, "I'd like to ask the princess to give me some pointers, it's convenient."

"Um……"

"You said he moved Guan Yu whose money bag?"

Lu Xiaonian frowned, he always knew that the reason why his elder brother dared to enrich himself from official wealth was entirely because of that nobleman in the palace, who often donated money to protect himself, but...

"It's just... the eldest princess is busy receiving envoys recently, and there is a lot of trouble. Li Shen has a good reputation among the officials. How can he be moved?"

"I can't guarantee others, but Changle will definitely...not let him go."

Changle never knew how to temporarily avoid the limelight.
