Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil

The next morning, the sky was still gray and drizzle was hitting the bricks and tiles.

"Why is it raining again?"

Shen Yian, who got up early, frowned. After all, today was the old man's birthday, and the weather was really unpleasant.

"Husband, the weather is getting cold, be careful of catching a cold."

Ye Liyan walked out of the room and gently put the cloak in her hand on Shen Yian.

"Li Yan is still the best."

Shen Yian tied his cloak and pecked Ye Liyan lightly on the forehead.

After breakfast, he was not in a hurry to go to the palace to celebrate the birthday. The weather was gradually clearing up, and it would still be in time to go when it was completely sunny.

It is estimated that those ministers and dignitaries were waiting outside the palace with gifts before dawn.

Anyway, the birthday party starts at noon. Although all the people attending the party are family members, for Shen Yian, it would be more troublesome if he arrived too early.

Murong and the others must be there, as well as the eighth brother Shen Zhou and the others. A birthday banquet with half the table filled with enemies, who can stand that?

Are you going there too early and staring at them?

"Husband, the gifts are all here."

Before leaving, the couple checked the gifts again.

Shen Yian sighed as he looked at the gifts in front of him that took up half of the yard.

I didn't prepare anything for the old man in the past five years, so I made up for it all this time. The common feature of these things is that they are valuable. For example, the "Wanli Jiangshan" carved from jade weighing more than ten tons, even if it is not carved, if the whole piece is sold alone, it can be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

He summoned the old willow tree and with a wave of his hand, all the things were collected into it.

He was a person who liked to keep a low profile. With so many things, the "Wan Li Jiang Shan" alone would probably need a bullock cart to pull it. Adding the other things, at least ten horse-drawn carriages would be needed to transport them all. If he paraded through the city like this, he would surely become the center of discussion again. He did not like being talked about.

Everything was ready, the sky was clear, and the couple got on a carriage and headed for the palace.

Even though it rained, it did not affect the liveliness of the city at all. The various colorful paintings and decorations on the streets were more colorful, and there was singing and dancing everywhere.

Shen Yian lifted the car curtain and looked out. On the rooftops, guards ready to go could be seen everywhere, and even the number of patrolling soldiers had obviously increased a lot.

Although things seem prosperous on the surface, undercurrents are still surging in secret.

Near the palace, you can see a long procession of gift-giving people from a distance.

There is no other way. There are too many officials, both big and small, in Tianwu City, as well as those powerful people. If they are ranked according to their ranks, they can be lined up from the northernmost to the southernmost part of Tianwu City.

As the carriage from the Prince of Chu's palace approached, it immediately caused a commotion.

"It's the carriage of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu!"

"Hey? Why does His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu only have one carriage?"

"I do not know!"

When everyone saw a carriage with people on it, they began to talk about it, curious about what kind of gift the King of Chu had prepared.

Some of them arrived earlier, but their ranks were too low, and as high-ranking officials arrived later, they were forced to wait in line until now.

Because we arrived early, we had the opportunity to see the eight carts of gifts from the King of Nanhai. The luxury was jaw-dropping, and a bunch of eunuchs were there counting them for a long time.

The carriage did not stop and went straight to the main gate of the palace.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, and to His Royal Highness the Princess!"

When two eunuchs in red saw the young couple getting out of the carriage, they hurried forward to pay their respects.

"No gift."

Shen Yian nodded slightly, threw out a thick scroll and said, "This is the list of gifts. There are too many things, and the carriages in my palace are not enough. Someone will deliver them all to the palace later."

One of the eunuchs in red opened the scroll, and the dazzling array of item names almost dazzled his eyes.

The people at the front of the gift-giving team couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they saw this scene. How many things are there? It can't be more than what the King of the South China Sea gave, right?

"Slave understands."

The two eunuchs in red saluted in unison.

If someone else did this, it might not be against the rules, but he is your Majesty's son, and it is understandable. It is impossible to stop him from entering the palace because of such a thing.

"Ah."

Shen Yian nodded slightly, and then entered the palace with Ye Liyan.

The birthday banquet was held in the Wanshou Hall, and it took quite a while to walk there from the main entrance.

Shen Yian didn't care about it. He just thought of it as accompanying Ye Liyan for a walk. The air after the rain was obviously much fresher, which made people feel very comfortable.

"Sixth brother!!!"

A familiar voice sounded from behind the couple.

The two turned around at the same time and saw Shen Tengfeng jogging towards them.

"Sixth brother, sister-in-law, wait for me!"

"Fifth brother, why are you here so late?" Shen Yian asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Logically speaking, since Shen Tengfeng lived in the imperial palace, he should have arrived at the Wanshou Hall earlier than them.

Shen Tengfeng said helplessly: "I ran out to get a gift for my father and just got back."

"Didn't you prepare in advance?" Shen Yian was stunned. It was a bit too late to delay such a matter until now.

"To be precise, I had prepared it a long time ago, but I didn't expect it to arrive today..."

Shen Tengfeng sighed. The merchant said that because a big incident happened in Jingzhou, the delivery would be delayed for a few days. As a result, the delay lasted until today.

After listening to Shen Tengfeng's explanation, Shen Yian, as the instigator, coughed guiltily and changed the subject.

"Fifth brother, hasn't the eldest brother finished his retreat yet?"

"No, I heard it will take a long time. I can't even attend my father's birthday banquet this time." Shen Tengfeng shook his head.

"By the way, Sixth Brother, do you remember a few days ago when I went out of the city to investigate the Thousand Dream Flower?" Shen Tengfeng walked forward and put his arm around Shen Yian's shoulders, deliberately lowering his voice.

Shen Yian raised his eyebrows: "I remember, what's wrong, Fifth Brother?"

"What happened to those who were arrested?" Shen Tengfeng asked.

He was more worried about Yu Chenzhi. He wasn't a bad guy, just the stupid son of a landlord.

That day on the street, he saw Yu Chenzhi's father and servants posting missing person notices.

As for Yu's father, he had met him once and he seemed quite energetic. But after not seeing him for just a few days, he had a head full of white hair and looked much older. It was obvious that Yu Chenzhi's disappearance had dealt him a great blow.

"Those who sell flowers will be sentenced to death, and those who buy flowers need to quit their addiction and accept punishment." Shen Yian said after a moment of thought.

If nothing unexpected happens, the people under Zhulong's care will be handed over to the Wuwei Division after today.

"Have you handed it over to the Wuwei Division?" Shen Tengfeng asked in surprise.

Shen Yian nodded: "Yeah."

"Nothing will happen, right?" Shen Tengfeng swallowed hard. He had heard a lot about the tortures used by the Wuwei Division.

With Yu Chenzhi's small body, he would probably die from the pain if he couldn't withstand two people.

"It shouldn't be a problem."

Shen Yian said that according to Zhulong's report, those people were only in a state of panic when they were addicted to drugs, but they were fine at other times.

"Then how long will it take to release him?" Shen Tengfeng asked again.

"I don't know about this either. Fifth brother, are you worried about Yu Chenzhi?" Shen Yian said suddenly.

It was Yu Chenzhi who introduced the fifth brother to the original person.

"A little bit, indeed. This kid is not a bad one, just a little silly." After being exposed, Shen Tengfeng scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, fifth brother. He just bought flowers and is not addicted. He will be released soon." Shen Yian said with a smile.

"That's good."

Shen Tengfeng felt relieved after hearing this.

The three of them then walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the Wanshou Hall.
