WLAEF 126

Hi all, I'm planning on doing something for Christmas and don't know what to choose. Opinions are welcomed - Voice it here!



Chapter 126

"Actually, I think this is pretty good. The Shen Family’s status is already high enough. Do you want him to marry Tenth Princess?

The County Master Yunrong is quite good.

What's rare is that Feng Ming likes her."

At the last sentence, the empress dowager sighed leisurely. People of the royal family, whether she or Princess Danyang, had no freedom in this life. They had no choice back then. Now they have stood at the pinnacle of power. Was there still a need to let their children repeat their own mistakes?

Princess Danyang was speechless. In fact, she didn't hate Jiang Yun Zhu either. Alright then, to put it unbiasedly, she felt that she wasn’t bad.

"Besides, didn't you always want Feng Ming to get close to a girl. Now he finally has someone he likes. If you miss this time, when will you be able to hold your grandson?" The Empress Dowager continued.

Grandson! She startled out of the dream with a single word. Princess Danyang immediately became anxious. No! Jiang Yun Zhu cannot be allowed to marry someone else.

She immediately begged the Empress Dowager.

The mother and daughter found Emperor Qinglong.

They hoped that Emperor Qinglong would reward Shen Feng Ming with a marriage and marry Jiang Yun Zhu to him as his wife.

The reason was that Shen Feng Ming had served the court for so many years. How many times he had escaped from death? And also saved Emperor Qinglong's life. Could it be that his contribution wasn't as good as that of Lin Ting An's 50,000 iron cavalry which had yet to appear?

And his infamy! How much of it was carried on behalf of Emperor Qinglong.

In private, he was Emperor Qinglong's nephew. Shouldn't relatives help relatives?

The mother and daughter put on a bad cop and good cop act. Emperor Qinglong couldn't even refute.

After the mother and daughter left, Emperor Qinglong only felt a headache.

On the sixth day, Shen Feng Ming came back. He immediately went to the palace to report the case to Emperor Qinglong.

Emperor Qinglong read the case file and then examined Shen Feng Ming, who was obviously travel-worn and appeared thinner. He already had a decision in his heart.

On this day, Emperor Qinglong issued two royal edicts.

The first one was to give County Master Yunrong to Shen Feng Ming as his wife. The second one was to promote Lin Ting An as the vice minister of the revenue department and give Princess Yurou to be his wife.

When the royal decree came out, everyone was amazed.

County Master Yunrong, who was that? Shen Feng Ming liked misses?

Those, who had gritted their teeth in the past and hoped that he would die alone and lose his bloodline, weren’t able to sleep today. Such as King Huainan.

It was just that the marriage was bestowed by his Majesty. No one could stop it.

As for the second royal decree, Lin Ting An's promotion to an official position was nothing. Recently, he had been very active in the capital. But shouldn't the tenth princess be given to him as his wife? Why did it become the Eleventh Princess?

Boss Luo and the others had already prepared the first batch of goods. Jiang Yun Zhu had gone to check the goods. As soon as she returned to the restaurant, she was hugged by a man into his embrace

She almost screamed out.

"It's me." Shen Feng Ming whispered in her ear.

The tips of Jiang Yun Zhu's ears turned red instantly. Her pink ears were already very pretty, but now they were even more attractive like jade.

She was a little annoyed and wanted to push him away. But when she looked up and saw his exhausted appearance, her heart softened.

"Let me hug you for a while." The voice was deep and low without any sexual intention.

Jiang Yun Zhu didn't move and let him hold her.

At this time, a eunuch came to deliver the royal decree. Jiang Yun Zhu hurriedly got up and received the decree with Shen Feng Ming.

It was the royal decree of bestowing marriage. Jiang Yun Zhu accepted the royal decree in a daze.

At this time, the eunuch who delivered the decree arrived at Lin Ting An's Manor.

Lin Ting An respectfully knelt down and accepted the decree.

It was no surprise that he was promoted to be the vice minister of the revenue department. He was waiting to hear the later part, bestowing him a marriage.

Emperor Qinglong did bestow a marriage, but it wasn't County Master Yunrong. But to Princess Yurou.

Lin Ting An suspected that he had heard wrongly and didn't get up for a long time.

"Official Lin, accept the decree." The eunuch who delivered the decree reminded.

Lin Ting An came back to his senses, snatched the royal decree, and looked at it carefully. It was indeed Princess Yurou, not County Master Yunrong.

How could this be? He stood there blankly.

At this time, Concubine Wu and Sixth Prince knew about the emperor bestowing marriage to Lin Ting An.

"Concubine Mother, didn't you tell Royal Father about promising Royal Younger Sister to Lin Ting An?" Sixth Prince asked Concubine Wu.

When Lin Ting An suddenly handed in an excerpt, Sixth Prince found it very strange. What's even more strange was that Emperor Qinglong knew that they wanted to marry Xiao Li Yu to Lin Ting An. Why did he give the Eleventh Princess to Lin Ting An.

The Concubine Mother of the Eleventh Princess was Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu's father, Censor Lu, was upright and firm. He was one of the few people in the court who had not participated in party struggles.

"Your royal father is on guard against us." Concubine Wu said with a sullen face. Only now did she understand how ridiculous her idea of marrying Xiao Li Yu to Shen Feng Ming was. Not to mention that Shen Feng Ming wouldn't marry, even Emperor Qinglong wouldn't agree to their marriage.

Look at this time. Before Lin Ting An mentioned the 50,000 cavalry, she brought up to Emperor Qinglong that she wanted to marry Xiao Li Yu to Lin Ting An. Emperor Qinglong didn't say anything.

But now, he regretted it. He was obviously afraid that Lin Ting An would stand on their side.

"Lin Ting An!" Concubine Wu hated Emperor Qinglong, but hated Lin Ting An even more. Since had such a method, why didn't he say it earlier?

"Long ago, I sensed that he didn't have the same heart as us." Sixth Prince said.

The two were silent for a while. Both felt that something had to be done to reverse the current situation.

"Let Li Yu marry Xiao Xun." Concubine Wu suddenly closed her eyes and stated. With King Qinghe as an in-law, they will have extra strength.

Xiao Xun... Sixth Prince wanted to say something. In the end, he didn't say anything. Xiao Xun was indeed not a good man. But if they lose, the result would be the same no matter who Xiao Li Yu marries. It was better to seek some benefits first.

Recently, there were three marriages in the capital. One was Shen Feng Ming's marriage. Everyone was most interested in this marriage. They were all curious about what kind of person this Commissioner-in-chief Shen was going to marry.

Princess Danyang was eager to embrace her grandson and set the wedding date very close- one month later.

The second marriage was Lin Ting An marrying Princess Yurou as his wife. The date of the marriage had not yet been determined.

The third marriage was that Xiao Xun, the son of King Qinghe, was going to marry Xiao Li Yu as his wife. This marriage seemed to be very urgent. The wedding date was set in two months.

Jiang Yun Zhu soon heard about the latter two marriages. In her dream, Xiao Li Yu married the son of King Qinghe, but now it was the same. Lin Ting An was going to marry Princess Yurou. She had never met Princess Yurou before. But since she was a princess, her status was naturally noble.

Of course, she didn't care about these things! Yesterday Yang Sheng told her that the crew of the fleet had arrived. Today was perfect to go see them.

Shen Feng Ming, Yang Sheng, Jiang Yun Zhu, and Celestial Doctor Wu left the city and went to a villa in the suburbs of the capital.

After they finish seeing these people today, these people would escort the first batch of goods to the pier. Once Shen Feng Ming's big ship is in place, they’ll get acquainted with the weather at sea. Then they would set sail and embark on the journey.

"Old Mister, are you set on going to sea with them?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked Celestial Doctor Wu again. She was worried about him.

Old Mister Wu had long wanted to leave the capital. Every day when various people sought him out, he would be annoyed to death.

The only thing he was worried about was Jiang Yun Zhu.

"You want to marry that kid?" Instead, he asked Jiang Yun Zhu.

Jiang Yun Zhu finally nodded. She could feel Shen Feng Ming's affection for her. She wanted to give it a try. If it didn't work, he promised to let her go.

Old Mister Wu snorted, "I'll leave after attending your wedding banquet."

Calculating the time, it should be about time.

In the villa, a group of retired Qilin Guards and those who retired from the Yang Family Army were already waiting there.

The two groups of people were distinct. Standing there, there seemed to be two auras.

The people of Qilin Guard were all carefully selected and cultivated through rigorous training. Everyone had extraordinary skills. They stood there like a group of tigers.

The people in the Yang Family's army were like a pack of wolves. They were ordinary people. After entering the Yang Family’s army, they experienced repeated fights before becoming what they were now. They were different from the Qilin Guards. Thousands of people fight together on the battlefield. They paid more attention to teamwork.

They may not be able to defeat the Qilin Guards alone, but what about ten, hundreds, or thousand?

Qilin Guards' leader was a young man named Chi Zheng. He looked handsome and had a faint smile on his face.

The leader of Yang Family's army’s side was a middle-aged man with rough skin and a resolute appearance. Most conspicuously, he was missing a right arm. The man's name was Han Kuo.

These people have already met Shen Feng Ming and Yang Sheng. Today, it was mainly to introduce Jiang Yun Zhu to them. In Yunming Trading Company, Jiang Yun Zhu was in the front row. Jiang Yun Zhu would be responsible for everything about the trading company in the future.

Yang Sheng introduced the two parties.

Chi Zheng and the others had heard of Jiang Yun Zhu a long time ago. Zhan Chang Chuan and Jin Jiao Yue showed off their happy life in Shiguang Restaurant to them when they were free. In addition, Jiang Yun Zhu was Commissioner-in-chief Shen’s wife-to-be. They respected Jiang Yun Zhu.

Han Kuo and the others were a little hesitant. Jiang Yun Zhu was a miss...

"What kind of gaze do you have? Be careful that I won’t treat you if you get sick in the future." Old Mister Wu couldn't stand the sight and said angrily.

Everyone turned to look at him. Who was this old man?

"This is Celestial Doctor Wu. He will go to sea with you this time." Jiang Yun Zhu calmly introduced them as if she didn't see their suspicious eyes.

Celestial Doctor Wu! This was Celestial Doctor Wu! Everyone was surprised at first and then they all became overjoyed. The ship was far away from the land. There was a lack of medical treatment and medicine and many people would die because of this. If Celestial Doctor Wu went to sea with them, wouldn't they have a guarantee?

At this time, Jiang Yun Zhu began to talk about her plan for going to sea this time.

First of all, safety comes first when going to sea this time. They must ensure their own safety first before considering trade matters. If something happens, you can abandon the cargo. You can also wait for rescue.

As soon as this came out, everyone's hearts fluttered. They used to be Qilin Guards and soldiers. They were used to putting the mission first. But now Jiang Yun Zhu told them that their safety was the most important thing.

Second, Jiang Yun Zhu talked about how the profits would be distributed if the fleet was profitable.

Chi Zheng and Han Kuo have already heard about this, otherwise they wouldn't actively come here. Especially Han Kuo. The brothers in the army were all from poor backgrounds. Many of them died and their families couldn’t even afford a coffin. They came here because they wanted to make a living for themselves. Secondly, for those who couldn’t come and gather some money to live.

As Jiang Yun Zhu eloquently spoke, they became more excited as they listened. Without realizing it, they put away their contempt for her.

Third, fourth...Jiang Yun Zhu continued listing the rules. The eyes of Chi Zheng, Han Kuo and others became brighter and brighter.
