Chapter 57: Your Majesty, are you willing to be bullied by me?
There are more and more strange names.
Shen Changgong muttered inwardly, walked over, stood behind Yan Fuyao, picked up her left hand, and placed it on the arrow slot of the crossbow. Then, he held her hands with both hands and taught her the correct shooting posture.
"You're weak, so you need to hold the front end firmly with both hands. This will give you more stability. Hold the gun tightly with your left hand, as still as a mountain, and pull the trigger with your right hand. Align the two points and aim at the bull's eye in front of you. Once all three points are aligned, you can pull the trigger."
Shen Changgong stood behind the empress, holding her hands with both hands. No matter how long his arms were, they had to be held close to hers.
The perfect curve of the empress's body was pressed tightly against his lower abdomen, round and tight.
It was the first time that Yan Fuyao had been so close to a man. She felt a little uncomfortable and her face turned slightly red.
After all, when facing "indecent assault", if the other person is very handsome, the feeling of rejection will be much less. What's more, this man is your legal husband?
In this world, there is only one man who can be so close to her openly.
But... he has never been so presumptuous before. He must have done it on purpose, right?
"Did you hear that?"
"what?"
A voice came from his ear, and Yan Fuyao exclaimed in surprise.
Shen Changgong frowned, let her go, took the crossbow, and assumed the most correct posture for her to see.
"Look, that's it. Did you listen to what I just said?"
Looking at Shen Changgong's clean, clear and serious eyes, Yan Fuyao suddenly felt that she had wronged him.
He was really teaching me seriously and had no distracting thoughts, so I was just overthinking.
No, I am his wife, shouldn’t he have some distracting thoughts?
Could it be that he...can't do it?
Well, let Wan'er test him some other day.
"Of course I understand. Let me try again. I'm sure I can hit the target this time."
"Okay, come on."
Shen Changgong handed the crossbow to Yan Fuyao.
This time, Yan Fuyao was focused and shot an arrow right to the left of the bull's eye.
"It's really impressive. It's quite impressive for a beginner to be able to do this. Your Majesty has some talent."
Shen Changgong praised.
"Oh? How about compared to you?"
"It's a world of difference."
"Who is Yun?"
"you guess."
"Wan'er said that your words are irritating. If that's true, I don't know how she can endure it every day."
After saying this, Yan Fuyao and Shen Changgong both laughed.
The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
At this moment, the guard came to report,
"Your Majesty, the Grand Commandant's father, Lord Shen, has arrived outside the gate. He has brought a box with him and said he must have the Grand Commandant deliver it to Your Majesty. Please review it."
"My dad is here? What is that?"
"I don't know. If you want to let it go, I can check it."
Yan Fuyao nodded slowly and said,
"Let him in. As a daughter-in-law, I have never met this father-in-law."
"As ordered!"
Soon, Shen Wanguan came in with two guards, carrying a box of things. When he came before the emperor, Shen Wanguan wanted to kneel down and pay his respects. The empress said calmly,
"Forget it. This isn't a formal occasion. As an elder, you don't need to perform formal formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Wanguan was inevitably a little nervous when he met the emperor for the first time, even though the other party was his daughter-in-law.
"Dad, what did you bring?"
Shen Changgong walked over and asked.
Shen Wanguan opened the box himself, and it was full of gold, silver and jewelry.
Yan Fuyao looked a little strange and said,
"Are you here to bring me a gift?"
“No, no, no, Your Majesty, this is a gift from a young man who claims to be a tea merchant. He went to the Shen family today.”
"Since it's a gift, Lord Shen, just accept it. There's no need to use all of it to fill the national treasury. Now is the time for your Shen family to prosper.
I know the Shen family is loyal and honest, but there is no need to do this."
"Your Majesty, there are several royal items in here."
Shen Wanguan took out the five pieces of jewelry, placed them on the table, and said,
"Your Majesty, please look here. There are dragon patterns carved inside. In our Great Yan, dragon patterns are only used by the royal family."
Yan Fuyao frowned when he heard this, picked up one and took a look, and found that it was indeed the case.
“You mean, that person, claiming to be a merchant, sent a gift with a dragon pattern on it, and it was a gift from the royal family.
It’s quite interesting.”
A playful smile appeared on Yan Fuyao's lips.
Shen Changgong understood instantly and said,
“This matter was either an unintentional act by the gift giver, who accidentally sent something that belonged to his own family.
Or he has evil intentions and wants to use these things to frame the Shen family and falsely accuse them of treason.
But he is a member of the royal family, but he disguised himself as a businessman to enter the Shen family, which shows that he has bad intentions."
"Interesting, I guess it was done by someone from Prince Rong's mansion."
Yan Fuyao threw the crossbow on the table and asked Shen Wanguan,
"What does that man look like?"
"That man had a pointed face, star-shaped eyebrows, and sharp eyes. His face wasn't very long, but his hairstyle and clothing were like those of a nobleman. He spoke elegantly and wore a light blue robe. He was about the same height as Chang Gong, and he had a round jade pendant hanging from his waist."
Shen Changgong and Yan Fuyao looked at each other and said a name in unison.
"Swallows returning to their nests?"
Shen Changgong said,
"Dad, this man is Prince Rong's fourth son and my biggest political enemy. He is deliberately trying to harm our family.
Next time you see him, just kick him out and don't let him into your home."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Shen Wanguan nodded repeatedly.
Yan Fuyao said to Gongsun Wan'er,
"Wan'er, Lord Shen has made a meritorious report this time. I will reward the Shen family with a plaque with the words 'Zhongliangxianju' written by me, and some treasures.
You take Mr. Shen to get it."
Gongsun Wan'er knew that the Empress wanted to send Shen Wanguan away, so she immediately walked over and said,
"Master Shen, please follow me to the inner treasury."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although Shen Wanguan held the title of earl, basically no one took it seriously and not many people knew about it.
After they left, Yan Fuyao took the crossbow, played with it, and said,
"You've raided the home of another powerful official this time. Those people should be getting anxious. In the next few days, I'm afraid many officials will impeach you. Then, I'll know who's the traitor and who's the loyal one."
"Your Majesty, those who impeached me must be Prince Rong's men, and those upright officials are probably already dissatisfied with the powerful and their influence, so they probably won't impeach me.
But those who strongly support me are basically Prince Gong's men, and these people must also be recorded.
Those who wrote letters analyzing the benefits of eliminating the powerful, but also pointing out that too much power in the security forces would cause panic and even the possibility of bullying the master, are basically loyal ministers.
"After a few days, when the list comes out, we can find an opportunity to wipe out Prince Rong's group in one fell swoop!"
Hearing this, Yan Fuyao smiled, took the crossbow in his palm, turned his head to look at Shen Changgong with interest, and asked,
"Will you bully your master?"
Hearing this, Shen Changgong sneered, bent forward slightly, and approached the empress. His eyes were cold, but there was a dangerous smile on the corner of his mouth.
"That depends on whether Your Majesty is willing to be bullied by me."
