Chapter 721 Isn't it obvious that you want to make His Majesty suspicious?
His Royal Highness Prince Jin is the only prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his status is extremely noble! I don't know how many people want to make friends with him, but they have no way to do so.
Although he now has the status of a fellow Jinshi, he has not yet been able to obtain an official position in the court.
If you can make friends with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, your future will be limitless!
Thinking of this, Lu Jianglin's breathing became rapid.
However, he did not show his ambition directly on his face.
Because Lu Jianglin knew clearly that with his status, how could His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin take him seriously?
If you want to climb up the big tree of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, you have to rely on your father-in-law.
Lu Jianglin quickly let go of Shen Nanqiao who was crying bitterly, and followed closely behind Shen Maoxue.
Shen Nanqiao looked at this scene and felt more and more sad.
Today is clearly my mother’s funeral, but how many people are truly sad and upset for her?
Their mother's funeral hall has become their place of fame and fortune.
At this moment, Shen Nanqiao suddenly thought of Shen Zhinian.
When Zhou was still alive, as Shen Zhinian became more and more favored in the harem and her position became higher and higher, Shen Nanqiao was worried, just like Zhou, that Shen Zhinian would take the opportunity to retaliate against them.
After all, for her now, killing them is as easy as crushing an ant.
But from beginning to end, Shen Zhinian never took advantage of their misfortune.
In the past, Shen Nanqiao clearly disliked Shen Zhinian. But at this moment, she was thinking about the good of Concubine Chen...
If Concubine Chen were here, even if she wasn't sad for her mother, she wouldn't be as hypocritical as them...
Shen Maoxue and a group of officials strode outside and saluted respectfully: "Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin!"
The King of Jin was wearing a light blue brocade robe with delicate and exquisite cloud patterns on the sleeves. As he walked in a square step, the cloud patterns on the robe fluttered like flowing clouds.
He wore a fine-quality mutton-fat jade pendant around his waist, which shone with a warm luster and made him look even more noble.
The lines on Prince Jin's face are very soft, his complexion is as white as jade, and he looks deep and gentle.
Those eyes seemed to contain infinite tolerance, and they could treat everything in the world with tenderness.
His nose is high and straight, adding a sense of three-dimensionality to his handsome face.
His black hair was fixed on his head with a crown, and two strands of hair hung down, which made him look more elegant, as if he was an immortal in a painting.
The Prince of Jin's eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Nangong Xuanyu's, but compared to His Majesty, he is less domineering and more gentle, giving people a more approachable feeling.
"My Lords, please stand up!"
Many of those present were high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and it was not their first time meeting the Prince of Jin.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is still so approachable!
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Prince Jin sighed and said to Shen Maoxue, "I heard that Madam Shen passed away suddenly. I feel sorry for Master Shen."
"But birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural laws of nature. Madam Shen has passed away. I hope you will be tolerant and comfort the spirit of the deceased by keeping yourself healthy."
Shen Maoxue's sleeves were soaked with tears. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and bowed to Prince Jin: "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Jin, for your comfort!"
In fact...he had already cursed Prince Jin's entire family in his heart!
Even though an old fox like Shen Maoxue didn't react at first, he knew the purpose of Prince Jin's visit by now.
In the fight for the throne back then, so many of the late emperor's princes died, but only Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin are left.
Shen Maoxue didn't believe that the Prince of Jin, who could survive the fight for the throne, would be a simple person.
Concubine Chen said that Your Majesty was secretly on guard against Prince Jin. Isn't it obvious that Prince Jin came to the Shen family to pay his respects at this time to make Your Majesty suspicious?
What if His Majesty becomes suspicious of the Shen family, or even of Concubine Chen and the Fourth Prince, then they would suffer a loss!
The Prince of Jin looks gentle as jade, but he is actually full of evil intentions!
Of course, even though Shen Maoxue knew what was going on, he still looked polite, respectful, and moved.
Although Lu Jianglin had passed the imperial examination and was quite talented, he was still young after all and had never been in officialdom, so how could he understand all the twists and turns.
He had been standing behind Shen Maoxue, waiting for his father-in-law to introduce him to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. Seeing that Shen Maoxue had not thought of him, he could not help but feel anxious.
However, Lu Jianglin was not able to say these words out loud.
Shen Maoxue now only hopes that Prince Jin will leave quickly after burning incense!
Otherwise, for a dignified prince to come and pay respects to Zhou, who didn't even have an imperial decree, was already giving the Shen family great face. If they stayed in the Shen family for so long and said that they had no relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, who would believe it?
However, the purpose of King Jin's coming here today was to send a signal to everyone, making them feel that the Shen family might have secretly boarded his ship, so how could they leave easily?
Shen Maoxue was so angry that his teeth were itching, but there was nothing he could do.
This was the first time he had suffered such a loss since he was promoted to a high position...
Lu Jiangyue and her mother had seen the most powerful official before, and it was only thanks to Shen Nanqiao that they were able to talk to Shen Maoxue. Unexpectedly, today, they actually saw the living prince!
Of course, given the identity of King Jin, even if Mother Lu and Lu Jiangyue had ten thousand guts, they would not dare to have any ulterior motives.
The two of them were just secretly wondering when they would find an opportunity to accomplish that good thing...
Lu Jiangyue even felt that this was God helping her!
Because even His Royal Highness Prince Jin is here, if she succeeds, Young Master Jiang will have no choice but to admit it...
In the blink of an eye, it was lunch time.
A respectable family like the Shen family would of course prepare meals for the guests who came to pay their respects.
Because it was a funeral, the food was simple and plain.
After offering incense, everyone went to the back under the guidance of the servants.
Jiang Lingzhou had been accompanying Shen Maoxue for so long and was feeling exhausted.
Lei Bo supported him in time and whispered, "Sir, I will help you go to the side room to rest for a while before you go to eat."
Jiang Lingzhou's face turned pale and he nodded.
Prince Jin also walked to the back, surrounded by Shen Maoxue and a group of officials.
All Lu Jianglin was thinking about now was how to establish a relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and he could no longer care about Lu Jiangyue and Lu's mother.
The two stood up and said stealthily, "Mom, the opportunity has finally come!"
"As long as we find out which room Mr. Jiang is resting in, we can accomplish our goal!"
Mother Lu's heart was pounding, and she pulled Lu Jiangyue along and followed quietly behind.
The Shen family had many guests today, and people were coming and going, even on the small paths.
Therefore, no one noticed that Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue were walking in this direction in order to follow Jiang Lingzhou.
The two men saw with their own eyes that Lei Bo helped Jiang Lingzhou into one of the rooms.
Lu Jiangyue hid behind a banana tree, suppressed her excitement, and said to her mother, "Mom, it's hard to do it now because there are so many people around. Let's take action after everyone has their meals!"
