Chapter 510 Grandpa, what happened to you?
After the emperor finished speaking, he softened his tone and said to Jiang Dichen calmly: "Old Fifth, I am old, and the Jiang family's kingdom will be handed over to you sooner or later..."
When the emperor said this, he stood up and walked to the table, with a look of regret, saying: "Your eldest brother is smooth and decisive, but his mother ruined him. Your other brothers are disabled, weak, and too cruel. Your younger brothers are still young and can't do anything. Right now, except for you, I don't feel comfortable handing over the Jiang family's kingdom to anyone else."
Jiang Dichen frowned and said, "Father, you are still young. It won't be a problem for you to sit for another 30 years."
Jiang Dichen was telling the truth. Although his father was already over fifty years old, he still looked very young and was in good health. It would not be a problem for him to sit in the throne for several more decades.
Jiang Dichen's words instantly made the emperor unhappy. He glared at Jiang Dichen and said unhappily, "It is because I am still young and can assist you that I let you stay by my side to handle official business."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Dichen refused without even thinking, "Then Father, please change someone else. I am not interested, and I am not good at handling other matters of government."
After he finished speaking, he bowed to the emperor and left without looking back.
When the emperor saw his son walking away without even looking back, he picked up a cup and threw it at his son, cursing loudly, "You rebellious son, you unfilial son..."
Eunuch Li quickly comforted him, "Your Majesty, please calm down, or else you will get hurt."
The emperor took a deep breath and said to Eunuch Li in a frustrated tone, "Eunuch Li, tell me, how can this old man be so ungrateful?"
The other sons tried every possible means to climb to his position, except the fifth son, who refused even the chance you offered him.
Eunuch Li made a cup of tea for the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, although Prince Han's temperament is a little cold, he is upright. This is why you gave him military power in the first place!"
In fact, the princes of the Beiming royal family all have their own strengths, but some of them are more vicious. If they were allowed to sit on the throne, it is estimated that few of the other princes would survive. This is why the emperor chose Jiang Dichen and Jiang Qing.
The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, I have protected him in every possible way over the years. Why can't he accommodate me a little?"
Although he did not do anything to help Jiang Dichen openly, he did help his son a lot behind the scenes. Otherwise, he would have been poisoned by the Queen when he was a minor.
Eunuch Li comforted him, "Your Majesty, please don't push him too hard. Perhaps Prince Han is getting married soon and he has no intention of doing this yet."
"That's right." After the emperor finished speaking, he instructed Eunuch Li, "Eunuch Li, grind the ink."
There is a mountain of work on the table. His son can just ignore it, but he can't.
The emperor sighed in his heart, lowered his head and silently corrected the memorials.
In the villa, Shen Ruolan lived a very comfortable life without being disturbed by anyone. She was not in a hurry to do business. She taught the children and played with them every day. In a blink of an eye, it was early May.
Seeing that the wedding day was getting closer, Jiang Dichen began to get busy, and Shen Ruolan was not idle either. She personally taught the dishes and seasonings she brought to the chefs of Prince Han's Mansion. After making sure that they had learned them correctly, she let everyone leave.
That day, after lunch, Shen Qi paced back and forth in the yard, looking anxious and irritable.
Seeing this, Shen Ruolan stepped forward and asked with concern, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
After Shen Qi heard his granddaughter's question, he stopped and said to her: "It's nothing, I was just thinking, your wedding ceremony is coming soon, why haven't your uncle and his family come yet?"
After Shen Ruolan heard her grandfather's concerns, she took his arm and smiled, "Grandpa, there are still a few days left. I believe my uncle and his family will be here soon."
Shen Qi frowned and said, "Well, I hope they can get there quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
As soon as Shen Qi finished speaking, he heard the housekeeper of the other courtyard come in and report to Shen Ruolan: "Madam, there is a group of people outside, saying they are here to see you."
When Shen Ruolan heard a group of people coming outside the door, her eyes lit up instantly, and she said happily to her grandfather: "Grandpa, do you think it's my uncle and his friends who are here?"
"It should be." After Shen Qi finished speaking, he said to his granddaughter, "Come on, let's go out and take a look together."
"Okay," Shen Ruolan responded.
Soon the grandfather and grandson arrived outside the door. Seeing that they were indeed from Medicine King Valley, Shen Ruolan happily greeted them, "Uncle, second uncle, aunt, sister Fei'er, you are finally here."
Second Uncle Shen nodded to Shen Ruolan with a smile.
Uncle Shen smiled and said to Shen Ruolan, "Ruolan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Aunt Shen and Shen Yuanfei said to Shen Ruolan in unison: "Ruolan, Sister Lan."
Shen Qi glared at his two sons and said, "Didn't I send you the news a long time ago? Why are you here now?"
Uncle Shen touched his nose and said to his father, "To answer your question, there were some problems along the way, so the journey has not been smooth."
Shen Feier was very happy to see Grandpa, but when she saw that he looked unhappy, she quickly came to Grandpa's side and explained with a smile: "Grandpa, please don't blame Dad and Second Uncle. It was a dangerous journey. If it weren't for our good luck, we would probably still be in Xia Country now, and we wouldn't be able to make it to Sister Lan's wedding ceremony."
After Shen Ruolan heard what her cousin said, she knew that the journey was not peaceful. She said to her grandfather, "Grandpa, it's good that my uncle and his family are here. Please don't be angry."
After she finished speaking, she quickly said to everyone: "Uncle, uncle, we have all been exhausted from the journey, please let everyone go inside and rest."
"Okay," said Uncle Shen, and he quickly asked everyone to move their things into the house.
At first Shen Ruolan didn't feel anything, until she saw cart after cart of things being moved into the house, she was completely shocked. She looked at her grandfather beside her and asked, "Grandpa, you're not going to ask everyone to move the entire Medicine King Valley here, are you?"
Shen Qi glanced at the entire team and said to his granddaughter, "This is just a little gift from grandpa. How could you empty Medicine King Valley?"
Aunt Shen also hurriedly said to Shen Ruolan: "Ruolan, your grandfather has been preparing these dowries for decades. Now we finally have the opportunity to give them away. We are all very happy."
After Shen Ruolan heard what her aunt said, she glanced at everyone in the Shen family and said to them with gratitude: "Thank you, grandpa, thank you uncles and aunts, Ruolan accepts your kindness."
Shen Yuanfei smiled and said to her, "Sister Lan, we are all family, why should we be so polite?"
