Chapter 291 - So It Was like This
In Inferior Pri Minister Residence, the servants circled around the unconscious Lord Pri Minister anxiously.
“Teacher, teacher …” Are you okay? ” The young official was the one who made Teng Yu happy when he got married in the morning assembly.
Inferior Pri Minister's eyelids trembled, he opened his eyes with much difficulty and saw that there were people grabbing onto his arm, “Hey, is what you said true? Your Highness really said that? “
The young official's surna was Tan and his na was Ye Tianhua. He looked sowhat guilty at this mont. He felt that if he had not stood up at that ti, things would not have happened.
“My dear master, don't be anxious. His Highness has also said that the princess consented to it, so you should consider it. With Seventh Young Master's personality, he would definitely not agree to it. Don't worry.”
“Relax? How could he be at ease? They… They are going too far! ” Inferior Pri Minister imdiately sat down and panted a few breaths, “If you have such a good opportunity to humiliate , how can I let you two go?”
Tan Zi looked around and told them to back off. He then whispered, “Master, you can't say such words. After all, we are now the overseers of this country.”
“Humph!” This old man will risk his life just to not let them harm my granddaughter! “
“But Your Highness, what else can you do?”
Inferior Pri Minister thought for a mont, then raised his head to look at his beloved disciple. Tan Ziwen was a youth who went to the Imperial examinations three years ago, and was only in his early twenties.
He knew from a long ti ago that this was a young man with a bright future ahead of him. Unfortunately, his family background was too shabby.
“I heard that your wife has passed away. Is she alone now?”
Tan Ziwen nodded in a daze, and sadly said: “She went to work for the end of last year, but unfortunately she worked for her students for so many years and didn't have a chance to enjoy the blessings.”
“You are a good child who values kindness!” Inferior Pri Minister patted his hand and asked unwillingly: “Are you willing to marry this old one's granddaughter?”
“…” Tan Zi was scared silly, he did not react for a long ti, until Inferior Pri Minister asked again, he then quickly took a step back, “Master, you can't do this!”
He was soone that the His Highness The Crown Prince wanted by na, how could he fight over won with the His Highness The Crown Prince?
Although everyone knew that His Highness didn't really like the Pri Minister's granddaughter, since he had spoken up during the assembly, if he were to marry a woman who was supposed to enter the Crown Prince's Palace, how would others see him? What would His Highness think of him?
“Why not if the man is unmarried?” Inferior Pri Minister stood up and paced around the room, obviously anxious and restless.
“In a while, this old man will enter the palace and report that his granddaughter is already engaged. His His Highness The Crown Prince wouldn't want a married woman!”
“But …” “But …” Everyone knew that the Pri Minister's granddaughter wasn't engaged! Wasn't he pushing himself to the edge of the sea?
However, Inferior Pri Minister did not think that way. With his identity and status, being able to marry his granddaughter to Tan Ziwen was already like a smoke rising from the grave of the Tan Clan ancestor.
“This is bad …” “Master …” The butler rushed in panicked and wailed, “Master… That person … Seventh Young Master Huo is here again! “
Inferior Pri Minister staggered a few steps, and quickly laid back on the bed, “I won't see you! Just say that I fainted and I can't wake up! “
Just as he finished speaking, a familiar voice ca from outside the door, “The Pri Minister's voice is so loud and clear, why is he unable to wake up?”
Inferior Pri Minister did not feel ashad that he had been exposed. He felt a headache when he saw this young man and wished that he could be exposed forever.
He took a deep breath and asked with an unkind tone: “Why did the Seventh Young Master Huo co here? Or do you want to give this old one a present again? “
“You sure know how to joke around. How can you be here to deliver gifts every day?” Yin Xu found a chair to sit on and drank a cup of tea before slowly saying: “But it's more or less there.”
Inferior Pri Minister was on guard, waiting for him to make his move.
Yin Xu sized up the young man who was standing uneasily. Seeing that he was wearing a official's uniform, and should be a fifth ranked official, it was not hard to guess that he was soone who ca to spread the news right after they had dispersed.
He laughed out loud, “I believe the Pri Minister heard that our His Highness The Crown Prince wanted to make our granddaughter his concubine. This young master did not approve of it, so how could the dignified Pri Minister's daughter be a concubine? “No, that's not right. If you can't even call yourself concubines, then isn't this insulting the Pri Minister's estate?”
Inferior Pri Minister did not know where to put his old face, his darling granddaughter's na had already been ruined by these two!
To prevent Yin Xu from saying anything that he did not like, Inferior Pri Minister made the preemptive move, “It's His Highness that has been praising , but unfortunately, my good-for-nothing granddaughter has already promised her match.”
“Eh? When did this happen? Why haven't I heard of it? “
“Haha …” Actually, it has been quite so ti, but it has not been decided yet, so the news has not spread. This old man was just thinking of entering the palace to report this matter after his body gets better. “
“Oh? Which clan did this young talent co from? This way, you can let this young master know who dared to fight against His Highness. “
Inferior Pri Minister was so angry that his beard was sticking out. He pointed at Tan Ziwen who was standing further and further away: “It's just that I've heard rumors that he is young and young. This old man has always liked him, it's rare to see that the two of them are fated to et.”
“Really?” Yin Xu raised his eyebrows, staring straight at Tan Zi, who was almost scared to the point of running away.
Tan Zi knew it was ti for him to say sothing. Whether he agreed or not, he had to give an answer.
If he agreed, he would offend the His Highness The Crown Prince, and if he disagreed, he would offend his own master.
But one of the variables was the Seventh Young Master Huo, he definitely did not want to achieve such a thing. If he agreed, maybe he could gain so good impression from him, and with his position in the His Highness The Crown Prince's heart, maybe he would not suffer too badly.
He clenched his fist, raised his head, and firmly said, “So this is what this court official wanted to say, but before the marriage contract has been exchanged between the two families, this official does not know the aning of the Pri Minister's words and does not dare to speak carelessly. This official was the one who hid the truth and then ca to ask for forgiveness.”
Yin Xu smirked and said lightly: “So that's how it is, since we did not confirm it beforehand, then there is no need to hide anything. Let's quickly settle the marriage, it seems like you are no longer young and will need to notify
to co over for a cup of wine.”
Tan Zi let out a sigh of relief. “Definitely!”
Yin Xu's happiness was gone, and he would not stay in the Pri Minister's Palace anymore. After all, no one welcod him here, and after making such a ruckus, probably no one would want to send their daughter and granddaughter into the Crown Prince's Palace.
After leaving the Pri Minister's Residence, Yin Xu brought his people and strolled aimlessly around the streets. would definitely be busy right now, there was no point in returning to the palace.
Walking onto the busiest street, Yin Xu suddenly rembered sothing. After returning to the capital, he had not gotten the chance to go to the Third Prince Mansion yet.
The specification of the crown prince's residence and the crown prince's residence was definitely different. The Ministry of Rites had proposed that the First Prince's residence and the Second Prince's residence be rged into one, since those two residences were empty.
Yin Xu turned his head and prepared to go see his new ho. In the future, when he grew impatient and stayed in the palace, he would be able to occupy a whole street of his own.
Once he entered, Han Sen received the ssage and imdiately ran over to welco him. Most likely, Han Qing had conveyed the ssage to him previously, so his attitude towards Yin Xu was much better now.
“The manor is about to be expanded, and the previously built courtyard has been completed as well. Please take a look at the unsatisfactory parts before making any changes.”
Yin Xu looked over. There was not even a single tree in this bald mansion.
It seed that in order for this mansion to be inhabited, he had to move that plague away. Otherwise, how dismal would it be to live in such an environnt?
“Alright, you go back to work. I'll go back to my room and lie down for a while.”
“Yes, would you like to have lunch at the mansion?”
“Don't worry about the preparations. We'll talk about it when the ti cos.” Yin Xu waved his hand and directly walked toward the Scenic Garden.
Han Sen thought for a while, still, he decided to let the kitchen prepare it, and send soone to the palace to inform him, so that his Highness wouldn't find soone.
Yin Xu did not return to his room, but went straight to the backyard. He wanted to see what changes the tree had undergone after not seeing it for a period of ti.
The mont he turned the corner, Yin Xu's gaze paused. Trees that could be seen through with a level view in the past already needed to be looked up at. It seed like the plant essence in this house was enough to make up for it.
“Eh …” When Yin Xu walked closer, he imdiately realized that sothing was wrong. He licked his lips and realized that his heart was beating a little erratically.
He jumped onto the branch and stretched his hand towards a fruit.
Yin Xu did not dare to imdiately pluck it, he pulled the fruit closer to him and examined it carefully, then placed it under his nose and took a whiff, “It really looks like it …”
In Yin Xu's previous life, he had never raised a Spirit Nurturing Fruit nor used it to nurture a Nascent Soul. Naturally, he did not understand much about it.
“How is this possible …” Yin Xu didn't believe that such a heaven-defying fruit could grow in this mortal world.
He searched the entire tree and found that there were only two fruits. He didn't know if the rate was too low or if the ti was not right.
He sat on the branch and stared blankly for a long ti. It was not until it was dark that he jumped off the branch and slowly walked out of the mansion, heading towards the palace.
