Chapter 476 Moving to a new home
After Empress Zhao learned about this, she hurried to the Qinzheng Hall. At this time, the old emperor was furious and demoted the Zhao family and his son by two levels, took away Zhao Gu's power to act as an agent to supervise the country, and ordered Su Ji to rush to Qing Dynasty. The state recruited all the private soldiers raised by Yelanxuan, but Yelanxuan directly withdrew his title as King Rui and was fined and banned for half a year. He could no longer interfere in the government's affairs. Once discovered, he would be severely punished.
Cao Yanhua was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment for trial, and Zhang Shoufu personally supervised the trial.
At this time, Queen Zhao came to add fuel to the old emperor's anger. When the old emperor saw her face, he became even more gloomy and terrifying. In front of all the civil and military officials, he angrily rebuked Queen Zhao for her incompetence in educating her children and for violating the virtues of a mother of the country. Although she was not punished, Queen Zhao, but the old emperor's words were like two loud slaps on Queen Zhao's face.
Today's events planted seeds of doubt in the old emperor's heart. The old emperor completely lost trust in Empress Zhao, the third prince and the entire Zhao family. This undoubtedly gave hope to the other princes.
After the old emperor left the Qinzheng Hall, he suddenly felt weak and weak, and his body staggered. Fortunately, Eunuch Yang who was waiting beside him helped him in time.
"Your Majesty, nothing is as important as your dragon body. Don't make yourself angry."
The old emperor looked gloomy and walked silently towards his bedroom.
At that time, he was wary of the military power in the hands of the Feng family, so he secretly promoted the Zhao family, believing that both the Zhao family and his son were civil servants who were better at handling matters than military generals.
But now it seems that although they don't have the ability of the Feng family, they are more ambitious than the Feng family.
-
All civil and military officials filed out of the court hall.
At this time, only Zhao Ku, Zhao Lian, Queen Zhao, Yelanxuan, the eldest princess Ronghua and the guards of the princess palace were left in the hall.
Queen Zhao looked at the eldest princess with hatred.
"Ronghua, I would like to ask you, I have never offended you, why do you want to plot against my prince like this?"
The eldest princess smiled lightly.
"Stealing granaries and raising private soldiers are all irrefutable evidence. If the emperor's brother had not always doted on the third prince, do you think you could just depose him from his title and confine him? You should be glad that your Jing'an Marquis Mansion is not the Feng family, otherwise you would have conspired to rebel. You cannot afford such a serious crime. Sister-in-law of the Emperor, Marquis Jing'an, take care of yourself!"
With a slight snort, the eldest princess left the hall with a group of guards from the princess palace.
Queen Zhao was so angry that she was trembling all over. She waited viciously for the eldest princess to leave: "Ronghua, you wait for me! Sooner or later, I will make you repay this evil breath twice as much."
Marquis Jing'an looked at Queen Zhao with a solemn expression.
"Queen, the most important thing right now is how to appease His Majesty. I am afraid that this incident will separate Your Majesty from the Third Prince and his son. In the future, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not trust our Zhao family as much as before."
Queen Zhao looked gloomy: "Father, you go back first, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

As for Yan Shu, Fang Yazi came over early the next morning.
"Madam, I talked with the original owner yesterday. He is really anxious to sell this house, but he thinks the price you gave is a bit low. If you look at it, let's compromise on the price. How about five hundred and fifty taels?"
Yan Shu took a sip of tea and thought for a moment.
Yesterday, when she proposed five hundred taels, she knew that the original owner would definitely not agree. The area of that house was larger than the other two, and the main location was good. It was only a few hundred meters away from Jiang Mansion. Also convenient.
"Okay, five hundred and fifty taels then, but I need to transfer the title to the house as soon as possible. I'll be ready to move in in the next two days."
"This is easy to handle. The original owner has already vacated the house. Let's just go to the Yamen to transfer ownership."
So Yan Shu took Yan Wen and Yan Wu to the Yamen, and handed over the money and the house deed to the original landlord.
After getting the door keys, they went to the shop and bought some copper locks. First, they replaced new locks in each room, and then the three of them rushed to pick out furniture.
Yan Wen wanted to do it himself, but Yan Shu felt that they had to plant crops in the space every day and really didn't have much energy to do it themselves, so they just bought them all new.
Yan Shu took advantage of the time to buy furniture and called all the servants in Jiang Mansion to clean the new home. After they selected the furniture, the place was also cleaned.
Finally, before dark, the furniture shop delivered all the furniture Yan Shu purchased.
Looking at the brand new home, Yan Shu smiled with satisfaction.
"Brother, let's prepare some gifts tomorrow and go to the Xu Mansion to visit Sister Xu. By the way, we can take her to see the house here."
Yan Wen missed Xu Shuangxue, but he was a little worried about the gift.
"Little sister, what do you think is a suitable gift for me to give?"
Yan Shu thought for a moment: "Don't worry about this. We will go to the space warehouse to choose one later."
"Okay, let me record the total amount of money it will cost, and I will pay it back to you when I make money."
Yan Shu helplessly glared at Yan Wen: "Okay, when the crops in the field are harvested and sold, I will deduct the money for this gift from your dividends."
The eldest brother always feels that he is the eldest son and cannot burden his younger siblings. Even if he knows that she has money, he does not want to take advantage of her. Since he insists, then respect his wishes.
"Let's go, Aci and Third Brother should be back."
The three of them left the new house and returned to Jiang Mansion. Jiang Ci and Yan Huai also just returned from the academy. Wen Yutang did not come with them tonight. He will take the academy examination in August this year, and he knew that he would have the opportunity to study this time. It’s not easy, and I don’t want to waste any spare time.
Jiang Ci saw Yan Shu coming back and walked up to her with a smile.
"Has the house been settled?"
"Well, I have bought the furniture today. If the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are willing, they can move there tomorrow."
Although it is not as big as Jiang Mansion there, it is the house she bought after all, and her brothers will feel more at ease living there.
Jiang Ci reached out to hold her hand and led her back to the room.
Back in the house, Jiang Ci sat at the table and hugged her on his lap.
"After I leave, let your eldest brother and second brother live here. With them by your side, you won't be bored and I can feel more at ease."
Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci with a smile: "Didn't you leave Wuming and the others behind? What could happen to me with so many people protecting me? Besides, you only left for a few months and it passed in the blink of an eye."
She was busy making money recently, so she probably didn't have time to think about him, and he just came back.
Jiang Ci's eyes darkened, he stared at her for a moment with a half-smile, and then raised his hand to pinch her chin.
"Why am I about to leave, but Jiaojiao doesn't seem to be reluctant to leave?"
Yan Shu:......
Seeing Jiang Ci staring directly at him, Yan Shu chuckled twice.
She took the initiative to reach out her arms and hook Jiang Ci's neck, leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
"How could I let you leave? I will definitely miss you every day after you leave, so you must come back early."
Seeing the little fox acting coquettishly at him, even though he knew that this was a little heartless fox, he still had no resistance to the way she acted like a baby.
