After crossing Ming Road in Mingzheng Hall, Cui Jinbai went back home after the court meeting, packed his bags and headed for Bu Mansion.
"Cui Jinbai, what are you doing?" Bu Shulin was still on duty and was called back by Jinshan.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw Cui Jinbai ordering his servants to move things inside, his face turning blue with anger.
"I even lost my position as the Minister of the Dali Temple because of you." Cui Jinbai replied expressionlessly, "I told Your Majesty in Mingzheng Palace that I would stay at Bu Mansion. If I don't come, wouldn't it be deceiving the emperor?"
Bu Shulin: …
Can deceiving the emperor be used in this way
In the end, Bu Shulin watched Cui Jinbai move all his belongings in. Fortunately, he still had some sense and did not move directly into his room, otherwise Bu Shulin would have taken a big knife and thrown all his things out.
Such a big commotion at the Bu Mansion naturally attracted a lot of attention. Many people were curious about why Cui Shaoqing moved to the Bu Mansion. After asking around, they found out about the secrets in Cui Shaoqing's family. They felt that Cui Shaoqing's stepmother was not a good person and looked at Cui Jinbai with sympathy, which downplayed the romantic entanglement between him and Bu Shulin.
After hearing this, Shen Xihe couldn't help but secretly praise Cui Jinbai for his good plan.
Not only did he get to Bu's house as he wished, he also took advantage of the situation to get the upper hand; he also discredited his stepmother and younger brother without leaving any trace.
"Oh, you are so heartless." Seeing Shen Xihe's smile, Bu Shulin became even more annoyed, "I have fallen to this point, and you are still happy."
Shen Xihe looked at Bu Shulin with pity. She really wanted to tell Bu Shulin that she guessed Cui Jinbai did it on purpose when he rode a horse with her into the city. The prince didn't want him to become the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple so early. But he had worked hard and made great contributions, and he kept himself clean. There was no handle for people to criticize him. Except for being too young, no one was more suitable to be the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple than him.
He went through a lot of trouble to give people a reason. Of course, he must be very happy in his heart, because he could be close to his beloved, and he could fail to be elected as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple without leaving a trace. Then he could use this as an excuse to move into the Bu Mansion openly.
As expected, like master, like servant. Cui Jinbai is as cunning as Xiao Huayong.
"Alin, actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't want Cui Shaoqing to be promoted too quickly." Shen Xihe tried to hold back but couldn't help but mischievously tell Bu Shulin the fact.
Bu Shulin took a few breaths to react after hearing this, then stood up in anger: "What a Cui Jinbai, he actually dared to take advantage of me, and even dared to say that it was because of me that he was delayed from getting promoted and making money!"
Angrily, Bu Shulin turned around and left the Princess's Mansion, rushing back to the mansion to settle the score with Cui Jinbai.
After Bu Shulin left, Shen Xihe took the Hundred Flower Cake he had made and went to the palace.
Watching Xiao Huayong enjoying the food he made, Shen Xihe couldn't help but wonder, "Why didn't Your Highness tell Cui Shaoqing that Prince Bu is a girl?"
"He's just my subordinate. He's so stupid that he can't see it. Why should I give him some advice?" Xiao Huayong smiled maliciously. "Yoyo, don't you think... it's a great pleasure to see him act like this?"
I looked up at the sky and prayed that I would not fall in love with an unrecognizable girl dressed as a man in the future, otherwise I would become a pleasure to His Majesty.
