Chapter 37 Shen Zhiyi: Where did I get so many fathers from!
Fun?
In an instant, no one paid attention to the Minister of Rites, Chen, who had aged considerably.
What's the fun?
Just as many were waiting for Shen Zhiyi to tell them what interesting things she had to say, an imperial eunuch came to announce that Minister Chen was summoned to an audience.
Shen Zhiyi hesitated for a moment; she wanted to leave too!
"Shen Lang, His Majesty means you should come over as well."
Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up, and she quickly followed.
This left behind a group of eager officials from the Ministry of Rites.
"They haven't even said what the big surprise is yet!"
[It was still the 18th day. The Emperor ascended the throne in the Yan Ying Hall and summoned Vice Minister Chen, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.]
Shen Zhiyi finished writing obediently and began to wonder what the old emperor was going to say.
The old emperor was burning with anger, and his gaze toward Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites was anything but friendly.
"You probably know what happened."
"Your Majesty, I am guilty and beg for your punishment."
Vice Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites kowtowed loudly to the ground, with great force.
Shen Zhiyi's eyelids twitched at the sight.
Wow, this would be like buying a whole bag.
When Vice Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites looked up, sure enough, a huge bulge had appeared on his forehead.
It even startled the old emperor.
It doesn't have to be this way.
"Ahem, although you were unaware of the situation, it is the father's fault for not raising his child properly, and you also bear some responsibility. From today onwards, you will be the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites."
Vice Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites, oh no, now he's Assistant Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites.
"I kowtow in gratitude for Your Majesty's grace."
【Eh? Lord Chen has become a minor official, what happened to the one before?】
Shen Zhiyi quickly checked the surveillance system.
[Haha, he's been demoted! A fifth-rank official is now a seventh-rank official, hahaha.]
[Ha, from now on he'll have to call me "Master".]
Wait, why is no one calling me "Sir"? Even though I'm only a sixth-rank official, I'm not young anymore! Don't look down on me!
Shen Zhiyi was furious, completely oblivious to the subtle glances from the group of people around her.
The old emperor's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.
Finally, unable to suppress it any longer, he quickly said something to forcefully quell the tension.
"The scenery around Xuanwu Gate is quite nice; you should go and take a look."
Chen, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, trembled and immediately understood the meaning behind the old emperor's words.
"I am deeply grateful."
[Xuanwu Gate! Isn't that the direction of Da Le Zi? Ahhhh, I want to go! I want to go! Can you take me there? Take me there!]
The old emperor looked at Shen Zhiyi in bewilderment.
What a blast!
At this moment, the Dragon Scale Guard whispered a few words in the old emperor's ear.
The old emperor nodded and stood up with composure: "Well, we still have a relationship, so I'll go see him off as well."
As he spoke, the old emperor went to his bedchamber to change into ordinary clothes, looking like a commoner lord.
The corner of Chen, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, twitched violently.
Your Majesty, are you really going to send his daughter away?
If you want to see that big fun that Shen Zhiyi mentioned, just say so!
So the group of people arrived at Xuanwu Gate.
"father."
Upon seeing her elderly father arrive, Chen Zhaoyi's eyes filled with tears, and she immediately knelt down.
Chen, the Assistant Minister of Rites, could only sigh as he looked at his daughter.
All the words in the end were reduced to just one sentence: "Live your life well from now on, and don't do anything foolish again."
After this incident, Consort Chen will likely never be able to conceive again. How long can the so-called love that the Prince of Xian speaks of last?
Chen, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
This is also what he is worried about.
But now, there's nothing better than saving one's life.
Consort Chen was also aware of this.
"Your daughter is gone. Take care, sir."
Chen, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he said nothing.
This might be the last time I see it.
[Sobbing, I'm so touched! Such a moving father-daughter relationship! But why didn't they do this sooner?]
Shen Zhiyi used Chen Zhaoyi's tone.
Oh, our daughter's gone, sir, uh, sir?
Shen Zhiyi's beautiful eyes widened instantly, round and bright like grapes.
Why does Consort Chen call her father "Master"?
Very low, suppressed laughter rose from the surroundings.
More than one person!
The old emperor didn't stop him either, because he himself was also about to give in.
Shen Zhiyi, who has been calling others "adult" for so long, is finally about to realize something is wrong.
After Consort Chen left, Shen Zhiyi finally couldn't help but whisper in Zhang Sheren's ear, "Why did Consort Chen—no, the former Consort Chen—have to call her Father?"
Zhang Sheren's eyes darted around as he glanced at the old emperor.
The old emperor didn't pay attention to him.
He then looked at the other ministers.
They didn't look at him.
Zhang Sheren was suffering in his heart.
So, can he or can he speak?
If I don't tell, I might offend Shen Zhiyi later, and then I'll be in big trouble.
Speak up, what if the old emperor's thoughts are something that can't be spoken? Then he'll be finished too.
It's true that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger, and he also has to serve Shen Zhiyi like serving a tiger.
Someone please save him, he's about to break.
"Zhang Sheren, do you have some kind of eye problem? Do you need to go see a doctor?"
"No, I'm fine."
【Oh, no problem? If there's no problem, why are you randomly picking these things?】
Zhang Sheren was on the verge of tears, and finally resigned himself to his fate, saying, "Shen Lang, actually, this lord also has Father's intentions involved."
"what?"
"Puch!"
The old emperor and the other ministers finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This day is recorded in historical books.
The laughter of the old emperor and his court officials echoed throughout Xuanwu Gate.
Shen Zhiyi's face turned bright red.
So she calls them "Dad" every day.
【Aaaaaaaah, I can't live anymore!】
Taishe is dead.
This was simply the most mortifying moment of Shen Zhiyi's life.
"Alright, alright, stop laughing."
The old emperor struggled to suppress his laughter, but finally couldn't help but say, "Hahaha, Minister Shen, it's no big deal if these old guys are old enough to be your fathers."
"Your Majesty is joking."
[Hehehe, where did I get so many dads from!]
"Hahaha."
The old emperor smiled at Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi's eyes immediately filled with resentment.
"Hmm, I'm in a surprisingly good mood today. How about this, I'll take a day off today."
A day off?
Shen Zhiyi's eyes lit up. If she had a day off, she could go see Da Lezi!
【Good! Long live the old emperor!】
The old emperor stroked his beard with satisfaction and made the first move to leave, followed by the other ministers.
Seeing that half the people had left, Shen Zhiyi, who never took the lead, ran wildly towards Xuanwu Street like a runaway horse.
No sooner had Shen Zhiyi disappeared through Xuanwu Gate than the ministers, who had previously scattered, regrouped.
Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.
Someone said, "What a nice day, with sunshine. You old man, why didn't you leave when you finally got a temporary holiday?"
"Hey, you old codger, you didn't leave either."
The old emperor said irritably, "Alright, alright, don't think I don't know what you two are thinking. Let's go see what this big joke Shen Zhiyi is talking about is all about."
"Here."
