Chapter 126 General: It's because the girl doesn't want him!
It's a big project, but it's good for killing time.
Immediately, many officials in the hall looked at the old emperor with pleading eyes.
The old emperor smiled with delight.
He felt refreshed and invigorated. These guys usually liked to cause him trouble, but now they were all begging for his attention.
Hehe, what a great opportunity!
"Ahem, where were we? Oh, it was that I don't intend to appoint a prime minister anymore. From today onwards, the prime ministership is abolished."
[Alas, abolishing the prime minister system has both advantages and disadvantages; the old emperor and his descendants will have a lot of headaches to deal with.]
The old emperor was displeased. How could that be?
To avoid listening to those old fogies' nagging, the old emperor simply adjourned the court session.
Shen Zhiyi was taking stock of who had been with the Left Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices when she was interrupted midway through her task.
The Left Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The entire court of civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, everyone still has face. Substance doesn't matter, as long as appearances are acceptable.
After everyone left the Hall of Supreme Harmony, someone saw the Thousand Guards General who was training and couldn't help but go up and tease him.
"General, I heard you're thinking of getting married recently? Why so suddenly?"
"Yeah yeah."
You should know that the fact that the General of the Thousand Guards was unwilling to get married was a major headache for his family.
The General of the Thousand Guards twisted his neck, snorted coldly, touched his gun, and said nothing.
He would never reveal such an embarrassing reason.
Why the sudden urge to find a wife? Could it be related to that male prostitute?
Everyone present froze. Wait, why didn't Shen Zhiyi go back to Yanying Hall with the old emperor? Why did she run away?
This is utterly dereliction of duty for a court attendant!
However, the awkwardness only lasted for a moment before everyone, especially the Left Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, grasped the key point.
male prostitute?
He nudged the person next to him and whispered, "Young male prostitute."
The person next to him nudged the person next to him and whispered, "Young male prostitute."
……
After the carriage had rolled around several times, none of the officials who were supposed to return to their posts had left; they were all stranded outside the palace.
General of the Thousand Guards: ...These civil officials are all crazy. Shen Lang is much more normal.
"Shen Lang, what brings you here?"
[It's all the old emperor's fault! Why did he have to make me come out in this freezing weather? This kind of thing should have been done by Chen Decai.]
She harbored resentment in her heart, but Shen Zhiyi maintained a very good public image.
Open your mouth.
"General, His Majesty cares about you very much and has specially sent me to bring these paintings for you to take a look at."
Why do I feel like I'm channeling some kind of brilliant genius? Waaaaah, even though I'm not actually intimate with any brilliant geniuses, I am a woman.
[But the old emperor is really diligent; he hasn't finished reviewing so many memorials yet, and he still hasn't forgotten to find a wife for the General of the Central Army.]
Looking for a wife?
The general suddenly became embarrassed; he knew what the paintings Shen Zhiyi was holding were.
He quickly led Shen Zhiyi to a less crowded place.
Seeing this, the other officials quickly stopped the two men.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two, wait a minute. Can't we just say what's on our minds here?"
The general suppressed his speechless feelings.
"My lords and colleagues, please do me this favor."
Having said all that, the crowd had no choice but to make way.
but……
They could still hear Shen Zhiyi's inner thoughts.
Hahahaha.
Looking at the people in the painting, the General of the Thousand Guards glanced at Shen Zhiyi and said somewhat embarrassedly, "May I ask, Gentleman Shen, which of these ladies do you find most attractive?"
Shen Zhiyi stared wide-eyed at the Lieutenant General in shock.
Goodness gracious, what's wrong with this guy? Why is he asking me which girl? Can I tell him? In their eyes, I'm a man. Who asks a man about someone else's daughter? Is this General setting a trap for me?
Seeing that the other party had misunderstood, the general quickly said, "Shen Lang, please don't misunderstand. I'm a rough man and don't know much about these things."
"I don't know either."
"Can I say this? If I do, I'll either offend someone or be seen as a lecher."
However, the young lady the General is holding is Princess Canglan, and Princess Canglan is different; she already has someone she loves.
At this moment, not far away, Princess Canglan's father, Duke Jiang, was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell? How come his precious daughter has a sweetheart and he, her father, didn't know?
He pushed through the crowd and walked forward.
He wanted to find Shen Zhiyi and get to the bottom of things.
The next second, the person was pulled back.
"Don't stop me. I need to find Shen Lang and get to the bottom of this. How could my daughter possibly have someone she loves? This is slandering my daughter's innocence."
[If the Duke of Jiang found out that his beloved was actually the stable boy in his household, he'd be so angry he'd practically fly to heaven on the spot.]
Jiang Guogong's vision went black, and he fell straight backward.
The crowd was in chaos, and they hurriedly helped up the unconscious Duke Jiang.
"Lord Jiang, Lord Jiang."
At this moment, the general on the other side learned that Princess Canglan had someone she liked, so he subtly moved to the bottom, deliberately letting Shen Zhiyi see the next one he revealed.
Shen Zhiyi glanced at it and couldn't help but instinctively search for relevant surveillance footage.
[This is the daughter of the Right Vice Censor-in-Chief, the third in her family; this one won't do either.]
The general listened quietly.
The Right Vice Censor-in-Chief outside felt his heart pounding wildly.
[The Lieutenant General wasn't the type the Right Vice Censor-in-Chief's daughter liked. To be precise, she preferred square faces, not the Lieutenant General's... uh, what kind of face? I don't know, but it's definitely not a square face.]
The Right Vice Censor-in-Chief breathed a sigh of relief.
So his third daughter likes square faces? Okay, when he gets back he'll have his wife find a son-in-law with a square face!
For the first time, the Lieutenant General was discriminated against because of his appearance. He silently moved the daughter of the Right Vice Censor-in-Chief to the bottom and continued on his own.
【Ugh, this General is crazy! Stop switching girls! Why are you so picky? Those girls are so nice, how did you end up with one?】
Lieutenant General: ? ? ?
Did he choose her?
It's because the girl doesn't want him!
He was so wronged!
[Damn, I can't resist! This is the youngest daughter of the Minister of Rites. Let me see her.]
The Minister of Rites, whose name was mentioned, began to feel uneasy.
【Oh, this might not work either, but it's not impossible, it might work.】
The Minister of Rites and the General of the Palace Guard were dumbfounded.
If something works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. How can something work and then not work?
I don't know whether to move the next general down.
Hahaha, holy crap, let me see!
[That's interesting. Does the Minister of Rites even know what his daughter does at home?]
The Minister of Rites neither agreed nor disagreed.
What else can they do but play the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting?
As the Minister of Rites, he placed great importance on the education of his family members.
He was nothing like that Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, who feigned strict family discipline.
He's fake, he's real!
