Chapter 137 Recommended by Shen Qiaoping
This close relationship should be what Xi Yatou calls the butterfly effect.
Song Yunxi actually went to the cabinet, and it was allowed by Emperor Qinglong.
This news made Concubine Shen and her son anxious in the palace, and Shen Zhikang and Song Muxue outside the palace were also anxious.
"What does this mean, Your Majesty?"
For the first time since her rebirth, Song Muxue felt a strong sense of crisis, as if everything was about to deviate from her understanding based on her previous life, and everything was developing in an uncontrollable direction.
"Not only did he allow Prince Chen to join the cabinet, but now he also allows my sister to enter and leave the cabinet with him at will. This is clearly trying to bring them together to pave the way for Prince Chen."
In his previous life, the emperor had never been kind to Ye Xuanqi until his death, let alone letting him join the cabinet and trying his best to win over Song Yunxi for him.
If things continue like this, I'm afraid the Sixth Prince won't be his match at all.
Shen Zhikang looked grim. After thinking for a long time, he said coldly, "No hurry. First find out why Song Yunxi went to the cabinet."
Then he looked up at Song Muxue: "I got the news that she has been exiled to your uncle and has been writing letters to him recently. Maybe it's because of him."
Song Muxue was stunned for a moment before she remembered that her father had a half-brother, and she also had a nominal second uncle.
In her memory, this second uncle was indeed more capable than her father and was deeply loved by her grandfather.
Although he was unable to inherit the title because of his illegitimate birth mother and brother's suppression and had to take the imperial examination, his outstanding talent and handsome and elegant appearance made him the third place in the imperial examination, which shocked the entire capital. Even today, no one can surpass the charm of this second uncle.
She had never seen the aunt who was the twin of her second uncle, but just by looking at her second uncle's appearance, she knew how stunningly beautiful her aunt was.
I always heard my mother say that my second uncle and that aunt inherited all the good qualities of my grandfather and my mother.
Song Yunxi looks very similar to her second uncle, probably because she is too similar to her grandfather.
Ever since Song Yunxi came back, her mother has been complaining that her eyes look very much like her grandfather's, saying that being stared at by those eyes always makes her feel suffocated as if she is still living under the pressure of her grandfather.
However, more than ten years ago, my second uncle asked to be sent to serve as an official in a remote area because of his political differences with my father and his father's repeated suppression of him. Since then, he has never returned to the capital.
Song Yunxi had never met him before, so when did they start exchanging letters?
Song Muxue always felt a little uneasy: "What's the matter with her correspondence with my second uncle?"
Shen Zhikang took out a letter and handed it to her: "This was intercepted by my secret guard. I have read it and there is nothing wrong with it."
Song Muxue unfolded the letter and found that it was indeed Song Yunxi's handwriting.
The content of the letter was nothing more than some ordinary greetings, but this made her even more uneasy: "What exactly does she want to do by contacting my second uncle?"
Shen Zhikang shook his head.
As for Song Yunxi now, he couldn't guess the purpose behind her actions: "We can only wait and see."
After leaving the cabinet, Song Yunxi went to the Ministry of Revenue with Ye Xuanqi. When they came out again, Song Yunxi's face was solemn: "Ren Zhihai was recommended by Shen Qiaoping to join the Ministry of Rites."
Ren Zhihai was just a seventh-rank chief clerk in the Zhanshi Palace back then, and he had been in this position for many years without any achievements or hope of promotion. However, with such qualifications, he was able to enter the Ministry of Rites and was promoted several times to become the current third-rank left vice minister of the Ministry of Rites.
At this speed, which official would not be envious and jealous?
No wonder he has been perfectly hidden in the position of Left Vice Minister for all these years. I think he himself knows that if he moves up any further, it will completely trigger the jealousy of others, and his unconventional path to promotion will be dug out, and his official career will come to an end.
Unlike now, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites is neither promoted nor demoted. No one will spend energy and time on a Left Vice Minister who has not been promoted for many years, and no one will pay attention to him.
Free and successful, who can say that Ren Zhihai is not a smart man?
Song Yunxi sneered: "Sure enough, none of the people who can be so successful in this capital city are simple."
People like Ren Zhihai who are not envied and live a low-key and successful life are even more extraordinary.
Ye Xuanqi narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Shen family's spies are indeed everywhere."
Song Yunxi asked him sideways: "So what is the prince going to do?"
Ye Xuanqi chuckled. His father was right. She was indeed a cunning fox.
So I took the initiative to ask for her opinion: "How do you want me to cooperate with you?"
After Zhao Cheng'an, he began to secretly investigate Ren Zhihai. Given their relationship as father-in-law and son-in-law, he didn't believe that Ren Zhihai, who was on the same boat, was innocent.
Today I accompanied Song Yunxi to conduct another detailed investigation, thinking that she might make some new discoveries.
From the clues, she discovered the key to how Ren Zhihai was able to join the Ministry of Rites as an exception, and it also completely confirmed his suspicions.
Ren Zhihai is indeed Shen Qiaoping's man.
Song Yunxi thought about it and said decisively: "The prince will definitely protect the person. We will definitely not be able to hide our investigation of Ren Zhihai from Shen Zhikang. They will definitely kill him."
Ye Xuanqi nodded: "Don't worry, I'll ask Zhou Feng to arrange it immediately."
Song Yunxi expressed that she still has great confidence in Zhou Feng's abilities.
She stretched lazily without any image: "Next, I have to play the role of matchmaker and help lovers get married."
Unrequited love is still love. She helps others to pull the melon off first, but whether it is sweet or not is none of her business.
Song Yunxi lived quite comfortably in the palace this time. The empress was reluctant to let her leave Fengluan Palace, so she asked Ye Youran to move in temporarily and summoned all the handsome men that the emperor had prepared for Song Yunxi to Fengluan Palace.
Although it was quite embarrassing for the Queen to find out that she was a homosexual, Song Yunxi was still very excited to see the beauty she had dreamed of again.
Ye Xuanqi's secret guard camp is indeed unparalleled, but after all, it is not a place she can enter and exit at will, nor can she see them whenever she wants, unlike the male model team in the palace, which she can dispatch at will.
After hanging out with Song Yunxi for a long time, Ye Youran has gone from being embarrassed and avoiding suspicion at first to enjoying it without any burden now.
The two of them ate the fruits cut by the handsome eunuchs, and Song Yunxi listened to Ye Youran talking about the recent trivial matters in the palace.
"The people in Linhua Palace have been locked up, and no one is coming out. This palace is quiet and boring."
Ye Youran's sigh made Song Yunxi laugh and tease her: "Don't you long for such a peaceful and calm life the most?"
Ye Youran protested dissatisfiedly: "Isn't it because no one supported me before? Now that I have you, I am naturally not afraid of anything."
Now her father cares about her very much, and those people in the palace who have always flattered the powerful and bullied the weak no longer dare to bully or make things difficult for her. She has also truly realized the privileges of being a princess.
Moreover, her fourth brother also protected her and sent secret guards to protect her safety, so she was not afraid of anything.
But Ye Youran knew clearly that the reason why he and his fourth brother cared for him so much was all because of Song Yunxi.
