Tang Zhuyun thought to herself, "I wonder how long the Prince of Jin has been around, hehe."
Thinking about this, she felt it necessary to subtly remind the Prince of Jin again.
She didn't care who he had slept with in the past; but since they had opened their hearts to each other, they should only have each other.
If he sleeps with someone else, he'll be defiled, and she won't want him anymore!
There's nothing we can do; those demons are just so pretentious.
But she also made progress; in such a beautiful moment, she didn't spoil the mood and cleverly swallowed her words.
The Prince of Jin, however, was somewhat disappointed.
Surprisingly, Tang Zhuyun didn't follow up on the topic and continued with her astonishing remarks.
This doesn't resemble Little Yellow Bead at all.
Tang Zhuyun then asked Prince of Jin, "Did the Emperor not punish the prince with a three-month salary deduction in court?"
If she is fined again, she plans to go to the palace and plead poverty.
I can't live like this anymore!
The Prince of Jin couldn't help but chuckle, "No."
Tang Zhuyun breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness."
Then she heard the Prince of Jin say, "This time, the penalty is a six-month salary deduction."
Tang Zhuyun: I #￥%...
Are you trying to kill us?!
"But Father Emperor still favored me," Prince of Jin said truthfully. "This matter could be a big deal or a small deal; it's just that he didn't want to pursue it, so he let it go lightly."
Tang Zhuyun muttered under her breath, "Since you let it go so easily, why punish me by deducting my salary? Wouldn't it have been better to give you a beating?"
The Prince of Jin couldn't help but pinch her ear. "Say it again?"
Tang Zhuyun said disdainfully, "Stop touching me."
"Then, considering your merit today, I'll let you off this time," the Prince of Jin said, feigning concern, but his hand didn't loosen; he gently rubbed her ear.
Tang Zhuyun: "What merit? What kind of merit?"
Didn't you bring me lunch today?
"No, I brought that for my dad. Did you shamelessly go and freeload off him?" Tang Zhuyun snorted.
"You two are such hypocrites," the Prince of Jin laughed. "My father-in-law saw me and immediately realized why he had prepared so much food today..."
Chang Zhi couldn't get into the court, so Prince of Jin took the initiative to carry a food box in each hand and accompany Tang Mingfan inside.
However, as soon as they entered, Eunuch Wang came to deliver an imperial decree, saying that the Emperor wanted to see Prince of Jin.
--This is the prelude; we need to ask the Prince of Jin what really happened and give him a chance to explain.
Tang Mingfan was pleased with this son-in-law, but worried that he would be reprimanded by the emperor, so he shamelessly went along with him.
Eunuch Wang naturally sided with them and cautiously reported to the Emperor that Tang Mingfan had also arrived.
The Emperor snorted coldly, "What, now that he's his son-in-law, he's no longer my son? Let him in, I'll have a word with him!"
Then, Tang Mingfan and the Prince of Jin, carrying two large food boxes, entered...
In front of his father and father-in-law, the Prince of Jin recounted the whole story.
Tang Mingfan was greatly pleased to hear this.
The phrase "love me, love my dog" illustrates the depth of Prince of Jin's affection.
A man who had never flattered the emperor before bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise. The future harmony and blissful union of the prince and my daughter will be all thanks to Your Majesty's foresight..."
The Emperor wanted to say, "Stop acting innocent after getting the benefit."
This son doesn't even try to please himself, yet he's clearly carefully choosing his words to please his father-in-law. The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
The Emperor said sourly, "Everyone says a son-in-law is like half a son, but I think it's more than that!"
Tang Mingfan laughed loudly, "Your Majesty, this humble subject dares not."
The Emperor's gaze fell on the two food boxes in Prince of Jin's hands. "Prepared by that Girl Yun again?"
"So later," Tang Zhuyun said, her lips twitching, "The Emperor ate the meal I cooked with you all?"
"Not only did you eat, you ate a lot!" Prince of Jin complained, "I wasn't even full."
Tang Zhuyun: "..."
It's so jarring that you, a grown man, speak in such a pitiful voice; it gives her goosebumps.
I'll make it for you now.
"No need," Prince of Jin pulled her back, "Stay with me a little longer, I won't be coming for the next few days."
Therefore, we should cherish the present moment.
Okay, I'm still not hungry.
Tang Zhuyun asked him, "Did His Majesty say anything else about the matter in Gannan?"
"The others refer to..."
"A reward!" Tang Zhuyun said matter-of-factly, "You handled things poorly, and you've already been punished, haven't you? Leaving aside how hard you worked investigating, just consider how far you traveled, how exhausted you were. Even if you didn't achieve anything, you still deserve recognition for your hard work!"
Prince of Jin said, "Let's say the merits and demerits cancel each other out; Father didn't mention it."
Tang Zhuyun was furious.
"What? All that work for nothing? You can't just rip me off like that!" she said angrily. "I'm not doing this kind of thankless work anymore."
The Prince of Jin looks utterly exhausted this time. Is His Majesty's vision failing or is he selectively blind?
Seeing her indignant expression, the Prince of Jin was in high spirits.
"Father doesn't like everything to be said aloud, and he probably remembers it all," said Prince of Jin.
"Let's talk about something lighter," he said with a smile, taking Tang Zhuyun's hand. "At the beginning of the meal, Father was scolding me for bringing my personal feelings into serious matters; but as we ate, he stopped scolding me because the food was so delicious!"
Tang Zhuyun knew perfectly well that he was deliberately making jokes to tease her.
But she still went along with it, saying, "Then I won't cook for him; he won't appreciate it anyway."
The Prince of Jin laughed, counting on his fingers as he pondered with her, "If we get married on the twelfth day and don't see each other for three days, does that count as the twelfth day?"
If we count, he can still come tomorrow, the ninth day; if we don't, he can't tomorrow...
Tang Zhuyun said irritably, "You really do miss me terribly if we don't see each other for a day! Don't come tomorrow, I have something to do."
"What's up?"
Tang Zhuyun said, "My father wants me to go to the Great Xiangguo Temple tomorrow."
There are many things she needs to tell her mother.
For example, her family came looking for her; for example, a new baby girl was born into the family, Sister Yuan is very Lovely; for example, it's finally time to spill the water from this pot of water...
The Prince of Jin with some regret, "I have something to do tomorrow and cannot accompany you. But my presence would be too conspicuous anyway..."
Tang Zhuyun: "We already agreed not to meet, what are you doing!"
That scoundrel of a man, when he gets clingy, he's like a leech.
After talking for a while, Tang Mingfan returned, Prince of Jin had no choice but to go see his father-in-law. He bid a reluctant farewell to Tang Zhuyun, wishing he could etch her image into his heart.
No sooner had he left than Xiu'er came in to ask about Yingzhu.
After Tang Zhuyun finished explaining, Xiu'er blinked and said, "Then you didn't ask clearly how the Prince still addresses you? Don't be like Jianxian today and then brings up candied hawthorns tomorrow!"
Tang Zhuyun burst into laughter.
Xiu'er looked disgusted. "Your Highness, please don't laugh! What did the Prince say later?"
"What did you mean?" Tang Zhuyun was completely confused.
"That's right! The most important thing now is how to deal with those two people, isn't it? Didn't you say before that whoever tries to force someone into their family should deal with it themselves? How does Your Highness plan to resolve this?"
Tang Zhuyun: "Uh, I forgot..."
The two of them were so lovey-dovey that they forgot all about the important stuff, which was really problematic.
