I have an altar of luck

"Commander Chen is indeed smart."

Cao Zhengxian agreed.

"What do you think... how about marrying Pingyang to Chen Yuan?" Jingtai said with twinkling eyes.

The best way to win over Chen Yuan and consolidate his loyalty to the Sima family is to make him a relative of the emperor.

Only when he truly becomes his own person can he cultivate with confidence.

"This..." Cao Zhengxian narrowed his eyes.

"Why, Cao Qing has a different opinion?"

"The old minister just feels that something is inappropriate."

"Ok?"

"Chen Yuan is indeed a rare talent in this world, and it is rare to see him in a hundred years. However, Her Highness Princess Pingyang is also a treasure in His Majesty's palm, and she has a stubborn personality. She betrothed to Chen Yuan.

I'm afraid he will be reluctant, and Chen Yuan's heart is cruel and fierce, so he will inevitably have conflicts with His Royal Highness Pingyang. The most important thing is that Chen Yuan has family members in Tangshan, and he especially likes women...Princess Pingyang has the deepest taboo on this matter... ..."

Jingtai took a deep look at Cao Zhengxian, and said in a low voice:

"Since that's the case, let's discuss this matter in the future."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

A faint smile appeared on Cao Zhengxian's face.

Because of Yang Yuanqing's incident before, he had some small grievances with Chen Yuan. Although he wouldn't use bullying to calculate him, he could still do it sometimes.

Chen Yuan belongs to the Sky Survey Department, and is valued by those guys. He doesn't want Chen Yuan's status to be higher, but he also knows that this matter cannot be stopped by just talking about it.

If Jingtai insists on this, then it is useless for anyone to say.

"I heard that the people from the Imperial Superintendent's Department have caught a few restless guys recently?"

Jingtai said suddenly.

"I did catch a few recently. Your Majesty, you also know that whenever a major event such as the ancestor worship ceremony is approaching, some demonic thieves will always want to make trouble."

"How did you deal with it?"

"It has been pressed into the sky prison and is being interrogated strictly."

Jingtai's eyes became serious:

"The grand ceremony of worshiping the ancestors is no small matter. We must be careful and careful, so as not to cause any turmoil. We should have a good trial of those guys. It would be best if we can know some plans in advance."

"The old minister understands."

"Well... If you don't say anything, you will be tortured. If you don't say anything, you will castrate them, so that they can't be men, and they will become neither male nor female."

Jingtai stared at Cao Zhengxian with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Hearing this sentence, Cao Zhengxian, who had a wrinkled smile on his face, froze immediately, and nodded embarrassingly.

He understood, it was Jingtai who was beating him too...

……

……

After leaving the palace, Chen Yuan took people straight to the harem to settle the case of concubine Shu. Jingtai had already spoken, so he naturally followed his wishes. Concubine Shu's death was an accident, and this matter must be settled, and it cannot be tolerated. Anyone questioned.

At the same time, he buried Concubine Shu's body, completely sealed the matter, and vented his anger on a few palace maids, and the matter came to a logical end.

As for whether Jingtai thinks about Sima Ke, it has nothing to do with him. Even if he knew that Sima Ke Chaoyue had hooked up with Concubine Shu, he would never do anything at this juncture.

Besides, without the child in Concubine Shu's womb, there would be no ironclad evidence.

In order to better control the Fourth Prince and Concubine Yang, Chen Yuan directly sent Tao Qingyuan to secretly take out the unformed dead baby from Concubine Shu's stomach and put it somewhere.

If Sima Ke is crucified in the future, this thing will be ironclad proof!

Sima Ke in the harem finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the news that the matter had been settled. At this moment, he no longer wondered whether Chen Yuan had anything to do with his mother or concubine.

Even if there is, he can't control it.

It is a blessing to be able to take care of yourself.

Furthermore...

The mother and concubine have been in the body for a long time, and Chen Yuan is young and strong, so it is not certain who will suffer...

After solving Concubine Shu's case, Chen Yuan stopped stepping into the harem, which made Concubine Yang, who had been staring at Chen Yuan, a little suspicious. She thought that there was some secret behind Chen Yuan's ban on the harem. Could it be that she was thinking too much?

Afterwards, everything was developing to a better place. All the Taoist masters of the Taoist Palace had already come to the capital, and they all agreed to meet in Chen Yuan's Earl's Mansion the day before they agreed to do it.

As time passed day by day, the things about Chen Yuan's breakthrough and Dongying warriors in the capital were rarely mentioned, and new major events in the Jianghu were replaced.

For example, the wind and cloud list has changed again. How big is the gap between the top three of the new Qianlong list and the previous one.

For example, two Huayang masters fought somewhere, and several mountains collapsed.

For example, the northern barbarians knocked off again.

They also took advantage of the time when the Jin court worshiped the ancestors, causing great losses to the border.

And Chen Yuan also completely fell into silence, while practicing, while waiting for the arrival of the ancestor worship ceremony, at the same time, he was also preparing for this matter.

In fact, his duty is very simple, that is, at the beginning of the grand ceremony, he and several other imperial city commanders will do a good job of protecting the periphery, and then... basically nothing else will happen.

The real defense must be the palace guards and martial arts experts.

But in the past few days, a gossip spread from the palace, saying that the emperor intends to accept Chen Yuan as his son-in-law and betroth the eldest princess Pingyang to him.

As soon as the news came out, many people were surprised.

After the astonishment passed, it was just a casual joke. No one in the capital knew that the eldest princess Pingyang was the most staunch and very assertive, and such a thing as a gift of marriage would never happen to her.

At the beginning, Jingtai had promised Pingyang that as long as she was unwilling, Jingtai would not insist on the marriage.

This is the first time among the princesses, and the only one with this honor.

Therefore, many people simply feel that this matter is not credible.

Even Chen Yuan felt the same way. After learning about it from Tao Qingyuan, he just smiled casually, then ignored it and focused on his cultivation.

He himself has no interest in becoming Jingtai's son-in-law. I believe Princess Pingyang also thinks the same way.

Just as one would expect, Princess Pingyang did not release the slightest clarification, and seemed to ignore such matters.

There is only one person who really cares, and that is the fourth prince Sima Ke.

When he heard about this, his first reaction was no.

Pingyang is his royal sister.

Concubine Mu is his own mother.

How could such a thing happen?

He will never allow...

Obviously, Sima Ke misunderstood something. He had seen Chen Yuan look at his mother and concubine before, and he was simply unscrupulous. If he had the opportunity,

How could it not make some exorbitant demands?

4 Chapter Fifty

Immediately, Sima Ke sent a letter to the eldest princess Pingyang, explaining the pros and cons to her. Of course, what he said was only the grievances between himself and Chen Yuan.

As for his guess, he naturally dared not reveal half of it.

Otherwise, once the matter gets out, it will really be over.

Princess Pingyang was speechless for a while after reading the letter. She didn't say much, but her younger brother was very caring, so someone told him directly,

Mind your own business first.

As for the others, at least Princess Pingyang doesn't have such thoughts now.

Chen Yuan is indeed excellent, strong, talented, and steady in character, but it is not enough to make her commit himself now, and she is not keen on such things as love and love.

No matter who.

Unless the emperor is very strong and asks her to marry.

But it's not very likely...

Besides, it's just a gossip right now, and not many people really take it to heart.

For several days in a row, the capital was very peaceful.

Except that the officials of the Ministry of Rites started to get busy, nothing changed from usual.

After all, there are many cumbersome etiquettes in the ancestor worship ceremony, all of which need to be prepared by the officials of the Ministry of Rites. Other than that, there is no disturbance.

Chen Yuan also passed through the practice slowly.

This day, evening.

After the day's duty was over, Chen Yuan left from the East Imperial City Division and returned to Wuweibo Mansion. Once he returned, he asked people to close the mansion and not accept anyone's visit for the time being.

The people in the Earl's Mansion were also used to it, and they didn't notice anything unusual about their uncle.

After returning to the mansion, Chen Yuan went straight to the secret room of the mansion, took out the fragments of the heavenly book from his sleeve, immersed himself in it, and told several other Taoist masters the news of his return to the mansion.

This is what they agreed to meet once before the ancestor worship ceremony.

After delivering the news, Chen Yuan closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Time passed by minute by minute.

About a quarter of an hour later.

The door of the secret room was ajar and was blown open by a gust of breeze. Chen Yuan's earlobe moved, as if he had noticed something, slowly opened his eyes, looked ahead and said:

"Since you are here, show up."

After finishing the words, Jiang He, who was dressed in white, appeared first, slowly condensing his body from the void, still restrained, still extremely cold.

But under Chen Yuan's subtle perception, he still noticed that Jiang He's state was different from before.

The aura around him... seems to be more ethereal.

Strength and refinement!

"Giggle..."

After Jiang He appeared, Su Ziyue laughed like a silver bell, and also slowly walked out of the void, wearing a long red dress and her long hair tied up by a phoenix hairpin.

Still so gorgeous.

The headlights are still so bright.

To be honest, Su Ziyue's appearance is really the ceiling that Chen Yuan has ever seen, that is, Mrs. Xu can only be compared to one another, but the various intertwined temperaments on her body are very intoxicating.

Chen Yuan understood that this should be the power of the Book of Six Desires, every frown and smile is full of great charm, even if he doesn't do anything,

But it is countless times stronger than those vulgar fans who are posing.

Sensing the aura around him, Chen Yuan's expression froze suddenly.

The aura coming from him is far superior to the one before.

She broke through!

Absolutely broke through, otherwise it would never be possible to have such a breath.

Real Huayang!

"Chen Yuan, long time no see."

Su Ziyue giggled, and slowly sat on the chair that Chen Yuan had prepared before.

"Just met two months ago."

"Really, it might be that the concubine has forgotten the years of cultivation." Su Ziyue chuckled lightly.

"Brother Jiang!"

Chen Yuan arched his hands and said.

On the surface, Chen Yuan naturally still called him an adult to show respect, but in private, they were equals.
