Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

0When he returned home, Shen Jingli was in the courtyard pruning the fruit trees. Mu Chen walked over and took the scissors in his hand and gave it to the maidservant beside him, then pulled his hand and went to the pavilion. Shen Jingli snorted coldly and broke free, only then did Mu Chen realise that he had a straight face, and was extremely angry.    2

    

"What's wrong?"    

    

Mu Chen looked at the young man in front of him and felt that he just couldn't see enough of him. He was obviously not some beauty that was as beautiful as the natives, why was he so curious? He tightly held onto his hand and he could vaguely guess why the boy was angry, but he did not regret what he had done at all.    

    

"You still dare to ask? Don't you know what you've done?"    

    

Seeing that he was angry, Mu Chen knew that he was worried that he would suffer a loss. Mu Chen laughed even more happily, "Don't worry, I did not suffer a loss."    

    

"You didn't suffer a loss, could it be that the Emperor is willing to suffer a loss?" Do you take him for a fool to lie without a rough draft?    

    

He thought that it would be a great merit to come up with a plan to save the affected Jiang City. With a wave of his hand, the Emperor bestowed upon him the title of a County Prince, and even though it was just a title, he still had a salary to offer. Furthermore, he could go out and show off his might.    

    

"Do you think that the reason I gave you the title of County Prince is because I requested for it from the emperor?"    

    

"Otherwise?"    

    

"The empress asked for it." Of course, he also paid a price. "Eunuch Gao didn't tell you that the empress wanted to see you tomorrow?"    

    

Shen Jingli rolled his eyes at him. "Why would the Empress ask for this title?"    

    

"Of course it's for the King Jing." In terms of thinking, how could Noble Consort Zheng compare to the empress? Otherwise, based on the situation of their aunt and nephew being pampered, they could easily pull the empress down.    

    

Shen Jingli told him everything about Mu Jin, "Today, Brother Jin and Mu Ke had a fight."    

    

"Did you suffer a loss?"    

    

could not help but laugh. He actually quite liked Mu Shisi's personality, "He beat up Shuang'er like a pig head, and you think we won't lose out if we lose?"    

    

"It's good that you didn't suffer any losses." As for how Mu Ke had been beaten up, Mu Chen did not care at all.    

    

"Mu Ke is also your little brother. You don't care?"    

    

Mu Chen pinched his nose, choosing not to answer, "What have you been doing with Xiu'er and the others?"    

    

"I want to open a workshop with her. She has great embroidery skills and also has the mind to do business. It would be too wasteful for her to stay in the backyard all day." He was cherishing talent.    

    

"A little money grubber." Mu Chen pinched his nose, "Where's Xun Er?" He had missed his son all day.    

    

"I was playing with Nannan at Grandmother's place. She's so happy to have a big sister to accompany him." A child still needed a playmate.    

    

Mu Chen looked at Shen Jingli, his eyes suddenly became passionate, he went close to Shen Jingli's ear and whispered: "Let's add a little brother and sister to Xun Er."    

    

Shen Jingli's face flushed as he glared at him. What did this fellow Mu Shisi say? Is he an animal? His body was only 19 years old. Didn't he know that if he kept having children at such a young age, his body would collapse?    

    

"No, I have to take good care of my body in the next three years." Go to sleep, baby.    

    

Mu Chen laughed, but the heat in his eyes did not decrease, as though it was ignited by the fire. Shen Jingli became restless after being stared at by him, he was actually not opposed to normal matters, but Mu Shisi's technique was too terrible. When the original owner was in so much pain, he could not bear it.    

    

Mu Chen did not know what Shen Jingli was thinking in his heart, but if he knew that it was because of this reason that he would be rejected, he would definitely be annoyed to death. Back then, he did not care about the original owner of the house, he just thought that since he was sent here, he would directly go to the main topic.    

    

— —    

    

The empress summoning was an extremely grand and important matter. Shen Jingli was pulled up early in the morning, washed, changed, and tossed around before finally getting onto a luxurious eight carriers palanquin.    

    

Shen Jingli didn't know much about the etiquette in the ancient times. All he knew about the ancient times was that after entering the palace, he would have to pay his respects to this girl. There were still many taboos that he wouldn't be able to say.    

    

When he reached the entrance of the palace, he felt that it was too early to be at ease. All of the subjects entering the palace could not bring servants, and the servants that came with them could only wait at the entrance, thus he got off the palanquin at the entrance and was received by the eunuch sent by the Queen. Meanwhile, Nanny Jin and Lee Qi stayed at the same place to wait for him.    

    

When he arrived at the empress's kunning palace, a palace maid was already waiting at the door. Looking at her clothes, she shouldn't be an ordinary palace maid, but a female official by the empress's side. When she saw Shen Jingli, she hurried over to welcome him, and said to the eunuch first: "I'll be troubling Young Master Li."    

    

After saying so, he stuffed another bag into it. Eunuch Li received the reward, said a few good words, and left.    

    

The female official looked at Shen Jingli with a smile and said, "The County Prince has finally arrived. The Empress has been waiting for this morning for the County Prince."    

    

Shen Jingli pursed his lips, feeling that this female official was incapable of speaking. Even if he was a double, he was still a proper man, able to speak with girls and ask them to come. He wondered what kind of things the empress would do if it were to spread that she hoped for him to come.    

    

The Queen was resting on her beauty bed when she heard the palace maid's report that Shen Jingli had arrived. She immediately opened her eyes and sat up, seeing that Shen Jingli had walked in, knelt down and presented her with a gift that she had prepared.    

    

"County Prince, no need to be so courteous. Get up." The empress didn't wear bright yellow or red palace dress. She wore a dark red brocade dress with a brocade blouse, and an ivory white hundred butterflies in a brocade dress. She raised her hand in a pleasant manner and said, "Come, sit."    

    

The servant immediately moved a chair over for Shen Jingli to sit on. Shen Jingli didn't stand on ceremony and immediately sat on it, not forgetting to thank the Empress for her grace.    

    

The empress had been observing him. She saw that he was open and open, without the slightest bit of fear or flattery. She could not help but rejoice in her heart.    

    

"I heard from my son that you thought of the printing press." The empress held the teacup and lightly touched the lid. She took a sip of tea and said, "The emperor is very fond of the live printing. After the first try was successful, he immediately allowed his son to leave the palace."    

    

Her grandson was already six months old and was already pregnant in her mother's womb. However, because the crown prince had been deliberately framed, the soldiers rushed into his palace to arrest him, and in the midst of their panic, someone pushed the crown prince's wife, who was in her sixth-floor armor, down the stairs, causing the child to die and become a fully formed baby boy.    

    

It was a pity that she was killed by the thieves before she could find any useful information. However, she knew clearly in her heart that other than Noble Consort Zheng, there was no one else who would harm her grandson.    

    

Shen Jingli modestly made a gesture, and pushed all the credit to Mu Chen. In the Empress's eyes, he was just a teacher who should be content with his mistakes, it wasn't a good thing for him to be too smart.    

    

"You don't have to be too modest. I won't make things difficult for you." If one could say that she was grateful to the Noble Consort Zheng, it was because of the stupidity of the Noble Consort Zheng, which pushed Mu Chen to the Crown Prince's camp. Mu Chen was a general of the Northwest Sirius Army, and he was a smart person.    

    

Shen Jingli laughed, these words were good enough, he could not take it too seriously.    

    

Afterwards, the Empress dragged him and chatted about family matters for a while, asked him about his previous family situation, and asked him about Mu Chen's life in the Southern Wilderness … After chatting for two hours, she finally got him to return. Before he left, she even gifted him with many things, all of which were bestowed by the emperor.    

    

— —    

    

After going back, Shen Jingli had completely forgotten about what happened today, so he did not know that the reason why the Queen summoned him was purely to give him face, because there were too many wives at court, only a few would be called by the Queen alone, thus being able to be summoned by the Queen was a type of honor, furthermore the Queen had given him a bunch of imperial tribute.    

    

In the next moment, Shen Jingli concentrated on discussing their embroidery business with Yang Ningxiu. Yang Ningxiu was indeed a very business-like person, as long as Shen Jingli suggested a plan, she would be able to turn it into reality, and it would be even more perfect than what Shen Jingli had imagined.    

    

Under the efforts of the two of them, their embroidery business was officially on the right track.    

    

Their shop was also located on Vermillion Bird Street, not far from the restaurants where Mu Chen and the others were. The dolls were well-dressed and liked by the young ladies, and not long after the business started, they were very popular, the most popular ones were the sets of beds, with all kinds of cushions and cushions. This was because there was a set of beautiful and outstanding embroidery work placed at home, which looked both beautiful and tidy.    

    

The shops on Vermillion Bird Street had been open for two months, and they each opened a branch in South City, North City, and West City. Other than these sets of embroidery items, a few small exquisite bags and specially designed shoulder bags were also very popular.    

    

After the business got on track, Shen Jingli shook his hands and ignored it, allowing Yang Ningxiu to do her own thing.    

    

One day, the people of Yang Family saw Shen Jingli getting a few people to chop a pile of bamboo in his courtyard, and then he went to pick up a few stones that gave off a strange smell, while he alone was fiddling with them non-stop.    

    

Because of the embroidery business, Yang Ningxiu and the other brothers and sisters had been carrying bulges in their pockets recently, and their entire Yang Mansion were overflowing with joy.    

    

Yang Ningxin still liked to run to Shen Jingli's courtyard as usual, and ate heartily every day. Before she left, she even brought along some of Lee Qi's newly cooked snacks.    

    

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Seeing Shen Jingli fiddling with some bamboo sticks, making them thin, and even dabbing some strange stuff on one end, Yang Ningxin could not help but feel that it was a little strange.    

    

She was currently lying on a recliner, eating fresh fruits as well as Lee Qi's newly-made pie. She looked really blissful, as if she knew how to enjoy herself.    

    

Shen Jingli saw her complacent look, and said lightly: "Since you like dim sum so much, have you ever thought about opening a dim sum shop? I can lend you Lee Qi, just remember to give him a share. "    

    

He had recently wanted to eat pizza, so he could let the blacksmith cook for him.
