Chapter 804: Chapter 805: Nothing Can Be Hidden from the Crown Prince Chapter 804: Chapter 805: Nothing Can Be Hidden from the Crown Prince Xiao Changyi did not ntion Li Wuyu and Wang Youbao, but instead said, “I can also make a poisonous oath with you.”
An Jing rely found this amusing, “Not to ntion that you have entered into my family, just consider the relationship between us, do we need a poisonous oath? Do you think the feelings that we value more than our own lives are fake or what?!”
The corners of Xiao Changyi’s mouth curled up slightly, “It’s not fake, it’s real.”
“And then?” An Jing wanted him to say it himself.
Xiao Changyi continued with a smile, “Between you and , we don’t need to make poisonous oaths to maintain our relationship.”
An Jing was satisfied, then said, “Youbao is going to the Capital this ti to study at the Ministry of Revenue; his horizons will gradually broaden, and I hope this is truly a good thing for him.”
Xiao Changyi did not speak, but looked in the direction where the Imperial Capital lay.
An Jing also said nothing further, also looked towards where the Imperial Capital was, but unlike Xiao Changyi’s expressionless face, An Jing’s was smiling.
Next year, her family would also be going to the Capital. The Imperial Capital had people they cared about, and people who cared about them.
Although life there would not be as simple and ordinary as it is now, it should still be colorful.
…
By the ti Wang Youbao and Li Wuyu arrived at the Imperial Capital, it was November fifteenth.
Wang Youbao had already sent soone ahead to the Capital to buy a large three-row house, and upon arriving, he moved in with Li Wuyu and the family servants.
It was only on the second day after their arrival that Wang Youbao and Li Wuyu visited the Pri Minister’s residence. As this was Li Wuyu’s first return visit, to show how much he valued his wife and to add splendor to her return, Wang Youbao prepared a particularly generous gift.
It just so happened that Pri Minister Li was off duty that day.
Pri Minister Li was very pleased upon seeing such a lavish return gift. He was not greedy, but the extravagance of the return gift represented the extent of Wang Youbao’s regard for his daughter, which was naturally important to him.
Seeing that Li Wuyu’s complexion was rosy, a clear sign that she was thriving and cheerful, Pri Minister Li was even more satisfied.
He did not expect much from Wang Youbao, his son-in-law; as long as he was good to his daughter, that was enough.
Of course, should Wang Youbao distinguish himself and achieve great success, that would be even better.
Just after Pri Minister Li had drunk the tea Wang Youbao and Li Wuyu presented in respect, Crown Prince Su Chengyu sent soone with a ssage, asking Wang Youbao to co to the East Palace the next day.
Upon hearing this, Wang Youbao imdiately beca nervous.
After the Crown Prince’s envoy left, Pri Minister Li said, “It’s hard to keep anything from His Highness the Crown Prince in this Capital City. You’ve only just arrived yesterday, and today he’s asking you to see him tomorrow.”
“Father-in-law, can you accompany to the East Palace tomorrow?” Wang Youbao hoped his father-in-law would bolster his courage.
Pri Minister Li replied, “His Highness the Crown Prince has only summoned you, it wouldn’t be proper for to go with you.” He paused, “You don’t need to be so afraid, the Crown Prince intends to make good use of you.”
“But…” Wang Youbao still wished his father-in-law could go with him. He was truly afraid. mbers of the Royal Family, and the future Emperor of Xiyun at that, he was scared that one wrong word could lead to his beheading.
Pri Minister Li did not allow Wang Youbao to continue, but instead cut him off, “Just rember to be cautious in your words and actions, and you shouldn’t make any big mistakes.”
“…Yes.” Other than agreeing, Wang Youbao did not know what else to say.
Seeing that his son-in-law had agreed, albeit still quite fearful, Pri Minister Li wanted to tell Wang Youbao about his prior eting with Su Chengyu, but rembering that His Highness the Crown Prince had forewarned him, telling both him and Li Wuyu not to inform Wang Youbao, he then dismissed the idea.
