Chapter 271 You Be His Aunt
"Prince Rui, please go ahead and speak." Ye Xinran said.
Prince Rui pondered for a moment and said, "During this period of time, Yan'er has always regarded you as the most important thing and has already regarded you as a family member. After his illness is cured, can Miss Lu continue to help me discipline this brat?"
"This……"
Ye Xinran didn't expect King Rui to make such a request.
"I'm afraid that's not very convenient," she refused.
“Men and women should not touch each other, and Chen Yan and I are of similar age. Now he is ill, so even if others want to say something, they can’t.
But after he recovers, I'm afraid that if I have too much contact with him, people will gossip about me."
Ye Xinran said it very tactfully.
What she was really worried about was that Prince Rui suddenly had an idea and wanted to bring her and Chen Yan together.
At this juncture, she cannot offend the Rui Palace, but to really marry into the Rui Palace is also absolutely impossible.
"The girl may have misunderstood!"
King Rui quickly explained.
“I have also considered what you just said, and of course I cannot let Miss Lu’s reputation be damaged.
I was thinking, if Miss Lu doesn't mind, let Yan'er recognize you as her aunt, what do you think?"
Ye Xinran was delighted.
Isn’t Chen Yan’s aunt the adopted sister of Prince Rui?
She, the daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an, could actually establish a relationship with the dignified Prince Rui's Mansion. That was something that many noble families dreamed of.
"Can I?"
She pointed at herself, somewhat unbelievingly.
"of course can!"
King Rui said, "Besides you, I can't think of anyone more suitable than you in this world. Yan'er has a simple mind, so the person he likes will naturally not be bad."
It can be seen that Prince Rui truly loves his son.
Ye Xinran naturally would not miss this opportunity and immediately agreed: "Since Your Majesty does not mind, then I will respectfully obey your command."
"Okay, when Yan'er recovers, I will hold a banquet and ask him to recognize you as his aunt!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will love Yan'er sincerely."
Ye Xinran also gave the other party reassurance.
If you simply ask for help from others, you will just get their approval.
But if both parties gain something, they will feel more confident.
After Ye Xinran returned home, she began to spend more time preparing for the operation.
King Rui also called his confidants and asked them to thoroughly investigate the matter of the "Thresher" reward a few months ago.
You wouldn't know about this matter unless you investigated it. Once you investigated, you really found the problem.
It turned out that the thresher was actually reported to the county and state governments one by one, and when it reached the emperor, it was also commended.
However, Lord Liu Ye of the Ministry of Revenue attributed the credit for this achievement to his nephew.
His nephew was an uneducated and unskillful playboy, but because he had no son, Lord Liu could only place all his hopes on this waste.
Because of his contribution to the invention of the thresher, the emperor rewarded him with several thousand taels of silver. Lord Liu also took the opportunity to ask for good fortune for his nephew and arranged for him to work in the Ministry of Revenue as a minor official.
When the minister reported the whole incident to the emperor, the emperor was furious.
An order was immediately issued to dismiss Liu Ye from his post and investigate him, and even his nephew was sent to prison to await trial.
After the emperor had vented his anger, Prince Rui reminded him casually, "Your Majesty, those who cheated should be investigated, but the person who was replaced should also be treated fairly."
"Ahem! You are right!" The emperor coughed a few times and said weakly, "Who was the man who made the thresher? Was he a scholar from Yuntong County?"
