RPAGF Chapter 383 Chao Ge'er
Chapter 383 Chao Ge'er
The snow in March is continuous, but it should not harm the beauty of nature. It is only because spring is about to end that the pear blossoms remain to accompany it.
After a late spring cold spell that brought peach blossom snow, the royal capital finally welcomed the vibrant spring scenery.
Shen Sui'an finally completed her 40-day confinement. The first thing she did was to have someone prepare a warm bath so that she could wash herself thoroughly from head to toe.
It was refreshing and relaxing.
Jiang asked someone to quickly dry her hair. Although it was March, the weather was still a little chilly.
"Chao'er, come here and let your grandma hug you." Jiang went over and held her grandson in her arms.
"I've never seen such a beautiful child. Your mother is really good at giving birth and giving you all the good qualities of your parents."
Today, Chaoger is no longer the wrinkled boy he was when he was born. His skin is as white and tender as snow, his eyes are distinct black and white, and he looks very cute.
He will definitely be a handsome man who will charm everyone when he grows up.
Chaoger was the nickname given to his son by Shen Suian. His full name was Fu Zhiyu, which was given by Empress Ruan.
Shen Sui'an felt that being a mother was really strange. When she first gave birth to her son, she didn't have a deep feeling of blood connection with him until she watched her son change a little bit every day.
Her heart also began to warm up and she loved her son more and more day by day.
"Why didn't mother bring Cheng Ge'er here with her?" Shen Sui'an asked with a smile.
Jiang said, "You cried for candy today, and I spanked you twice. Now you are hiding in your grandmother's arms and complaining."
He couldn't even speak clearly, and two out of three sentences had to be guessed. Only the old lady had the patience to coax her little grandson.
Shen Sui'an chuckled, "Cheng Ge'er has been greatly wronged."
"Is my son-in-law very busy recently?" asked Jiang.
"Yes, the official position in the Pacification Office was finally approved, and he is busy arranging personnel." Shen Sui'an said.
Fu Jinyuan has been staying in the Pacification Office for three days. He was so busy recently that fatigue was evident in his eyes.
This time, the Zhenfu Division was able to obtain the approval from the Ministry of Revenue and have the salary determined. Fu Jinyuan really put in a lot of effort.
Of course Emperor Fu disagreed.
The six ministries and the left and right prime ministers each have their own opinions. Such an important matter requires the signatures of the six ministers and the seals of the two prime ministers before it can be effective.
No one knows how Fu Jinyuan did it.
In the end, only He Zhiyuan still insisted that the salary of officials in the Zhenfu Division was too high and had too great an impact on other government offices.
Fu Jinyuan only replied, "Could it be that when the Pacification Bureau was first established, the Emperor and Prime Minister He thought that they only needed to pay me one salary and I could do the work of hundreds of people?"
Having made great contributions in annihilating the Thirteen Villages, Emperor Fu could not deny the significance of the existence of the Pacification Office.
I could only agree with a pinch of my nose.
With official positions and salaries, the Zhenfu Division can truly get on the right track.
It was only at this time that the people in the royal capital realized that the previous Zhenfu Division was simply a training ground for Prince Chen. Now that there was a large-scale Zhenfu Division, it could truly shock people.
Jiang said, "It's not easy for the son-in-law. Now that you are out of confinement, you should be more considerate to him."
Shen Sui'an nodded with a smile, "I'll have someone send the cooked chicken soup to him at the Pacification Office."
The mother and daughter were talking when Banjian came in with a worried look on her face.
"Princess, Madam, outside... the master and the second young lady are here."
The servant who was guarding the gate just now came back in a hurry to report that several people had come to the gate of the palace, shouting that they were the princess's father and asked the princess to go to the door to greet him in person.
The servant noticed something was wrong and quickly invited the person to the side hall before coming to report.
If that person were allowed to continue shouting outside, who knows how much suspicion it would arouse.
It is already difficult for Prince Chen to stay in the royal capital, so he cannot be caught.
When Jiang heard this, her face immediately darkened. "It must be that shameless guy. He had the nerve to come to the palace. Sui Sui, don't worry about it. I'll chase him away."
"Mother, you can't drive them away. Since they have come to the royal capital, they are determined to stay." Shen Suian stopped Jiang.
"You go and tell your grandparents first, I'll go see them." Shen Suian said lightly.
Jiang couldn't hide her disgust for Shen Jianglin in her eyes.
"You don't have to be lenient with him. He has never protected you like a real father. Now that you have become a princess, he wants to take advantage of your glory. Dream on."
Shen Sui'an chuckled, "Mother, I know what's going on."
……
Shen Jianglin had a long journey to the Southern Dynasty. He was even trapped in a small border town for more than half a month due to a rare heavy snowfall.
Then my son fell ill and the treatment was delayed for a long time.
After three months of twists and turns, they finally arrived at the royal capital.
He was also born into a prominent family and had seen all kinds of wealthy and luxurious mansions. However, when he saw the Prince Chen's Mansion, he was still touched by the exquisite luxury everywhere.
It seems that after Lu Yuan returned to the Southern Dynasty, he was not ignored as the legend said.
If it was not taken seriously, would there be such a palace?
"Daddy!" Shen Siyi was very excited. She grabbed Shen Jianglin's arm and said, "I want to live here. I must stay here."
In the past, she thought that the Shen family mansion was big enough, but compared with the Prince Chen's Mansion, it was nothing compared to a giant and not worth mentioning.
Shen Mingyao frowned, looked sinister, and followed his father and sister expressionlessly.
From the moment he stepped into the palace, he felt uncomfortable all over.
He didn't understand what was good about living under someone else's roof. Shen Suian hated them to the core, so how could he give them a good life?
If he had a choice, he would rather die than come to the Southern Dynasty.
Shen Jianglin looked greedily at the various ornaments in the side hall. It could be seen that these ornaments were all of great value. He never thought that Lu Yuan would have such a fate.
"Sister Yi, it would have been better if I had married you to Lu Yuan."
Shen Siyi's expression was almost ferocious. Yes, it was obviously she who liked Lu Yuan first. Shen Sui'an was already married, but he still wanted to snatch Lu Yuan from her.
"Father, their marriage was originally arranged by the late emperor." Shen Mingyao said sinisterly.
Even if her father had that intention, Shen Siyi would never marry Lu Yuan.
Shen Jianglin glared at his son and said, "Where's Shen Sui'an? Why hasn't she come yet? Does she know we're here?"
The servant outside the door looked straight ahead, pretending not to hear Shen Jianglin's complaints.
As Shen Suian walked out of the side hall door, she heard Shen Jianglin's scolding voice, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.
"Greetings, Princess." The servants knelt down and saluted.
The three people with their backs to the door turned around abruptly and stared straight at the woman who was walking towards them.
Shen Sui'an was wearing a water-shadow red long dress with dense gold-threaded acacia flowers today. The warm sunlight fell on her eyebrows. Her eyes were bright, her skin was as white as fat, bright and generous, with a decent and faint smile on her face.
But the eyes that looked at them did not contain much emotion.
The Shen Sui'an in front of them seemed a little different from the girl in their memories, but they couldn't tell exactly what had changed.
Shen Jianglin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and angrily shouted, "Why, you can't even bow to your father when you see him?"
