Chapter 11 The Forced and Helpless Liu Sheng
Liu Sheng felt bitter in his heart, he knew that he had no way to refuse.

In desperation, he could only accept the decree.

Seeing that Liu Sheng finally agreed to accept the decree, the old eunuch was also very happy, and finally he didn't have to embarrass himself.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was worried that Liu Sheng would suddenly change his mind.

However, Liu Sheng stopped him.

"Elder-in-law, although this son-in-law promised to go to the post, it always takes a few days to prepare."

The veins on the old eunuch's forehead bulged out. The average person would have already taken office after receiving such a gift from the emperor.

You are the only son-in-law who has such an attitude in ancient and modern times.

The old eunuch felt helpless, son-in-law, are you planning to carry out the name of mediocrity to the end?
Fortunately, Liu Sheng agreed to take up the post, so everything is easy to talk about.

He turned around with a calm face, and said with a smile:
"Of course, but hurry up and don't make His Majesty wait."

After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry before Liu Sheng could answer.

He was really scared this time, it was the first time he saw someone like Liu Sheng, if he left late, maybe this wonderful son-in-law would change his mind again.

Liu Sheng looked suspiciously at the back of the old eunuch and his party leaving in embarrassment, a little puzzled, as for?

He naturally didn't know that his rejection of being an official had shocked the old eunuch and his party.

Liu Sheng looked at the imperial decree in his hand, and said secretly, it should be me who should be most helpless and depressed.

Back in the palace, the old eunuch truthfully reported Liu Sheng's attitude and the fact that he had agreed to receive the decree.

Li Shimin rubbed his swollen eyebrows, with a little surprise on his face:

"Is Prince Consort Liu someone to rely on, or is he willing to remain so mediocre forever?"

The old eunuch didn't dare to respond below, who knew what that strange son-in-law thought in his heart?

"Pay close attention to him, I want to know his movements!"

Obviously, Li Shimin was also a little curious about Liu Sheng, a mediocre son-in-law.

The old eunuch dared not answer, and quickly replied:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

After dinner, Princess Changle also came back.

However, the old eunuch did not reveal to Liu Sheng that he asked the emperor to give him the princess Changle, so Liu Sheng is still unclear.

His mind is full of thoughts now, could it be that he has pretended too much, so that even Li Shimin can't stand that he is too mediocre?
This... who is he going to talk to?
Of course, Princess Changle's acting skills are not bad. When she heard that Liu Sheng was going to be the magistrate of Chang'an County, she also showed three points of surprise, three points of doubt, and four points of joy.

It is hard to detect, but in fact, she is the ultimate promoter.

"Sir, this is great." Princess Changle raised her wine glass with a smile and said:
"Your Majesty grants you an official, then our family can have a salary to subsidize the family."

It seems that she really cares about these salaries, and doesn't know Liu Sheng's extraordinary.

Liu Sheng thought to himself, my lady, you don't know, in fact, your husband and I are rich as hell!
Only, I can't say.

Especially after he saw the happy expression on Princess Changle's face, he couldn't tell her.

Otherwise, how can I explain that I kept it from the other party for two years?

Princess Changle is also snickering in her heart at this time, Mr. Xianggong, your wife and I have already known about your extraordinaryness.

Those land deeds and house deeds, as well as the countless jewels in the dark room are the evidence that this princess discovered!
"Yes, lady, our family finally has a salary to subsidize the family." When Liu Sheng said this, his tone was a little helpless.

In the end, Liu Sheng still didn't drink, he was worried that he would reveal something when he was drunk.

The last time he was drunk, it happened to wake him up.

Then, within two days.

Liu Sheng was depressed all over. He even felt that his favorite fishing and sunbathing were no longer good.

It was originally just a daily activity, but when he thought about going to work in two days, he lost the motivation to fish in an instant.

But what he didn't know was that this scene had already been seen by Princess Changle.

Princess Changle was surprised by Liu Sheng's reaction, a son-in-law who was so rich that he must have looked down on that official position.

That's why Liu Sheng's reaction at this time made Princess Changle more certain of her conjecture.

If Liu Sheng expressed his joy at the sudden official position at this time, then Princess Changle would not be confident in her guess.

just now...

Princess Changle looked at the husband who was very different from the usual carefree, and thought to herself:
"Sure enough, Mr. Xiang is pretending!"

Otherwise, if someone else is entrusted with an important task, they will be very happy, which is simply a pie in the sky.

In today's world, only one's own father-in-law is so unhappy about being an official.

"Sir, this princess will definitely find out the secret in your heart!"

In this regard, Princess Changle expressed great confidence.

Especially from Liu Sheng's reaction, she got more feedback.

For the next few days, Liu Sheng lay at home, too lazy to go out, and never even stepped out of the house.

However, he still didn't delay in the daily eating, drinking and having fun.

All the servants felt very surprised in their hearts. Shouldn't the son-in-law's reaction at this time should go out to show off to those young masters?
This is the reaction of ordinary people, but... the son-in-law is too different, isn't he?
In the end, they came to a result, that is, their son-in-law was not an ordinary person.

Nonsense, who dares to defy the order openly and expresses that he does not want to be an official, the only one in the world today is the son-in-law of our mansion.

The Ministry of Officials, the officials are making trouble at this time.

"This Concubine Liu is too capricious, and he hasn't taken up his post yet?"

"Ah, what should I do?"

All the officials were anxious, who let them do such a thing?

Changsun Wuji also had a helpless face. As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he had never seen such a special person.

It's fine for him to be mediocre, God rewarded him with food, married a princess, and was bestowed an official position by the emperor, so he should find a corner to smile secretly, and then go to the post in a hurry.

This is the most normal reaction.

However, Prince Consort Liu simply didn't know how to describe it.

The official position bestowed by the emperor, isn't he afraid of being taken back?
The Ministry of Officials sent officials to his house to urge him several times, but he still didn't move at all.

How can this not make people anxious?
Just when Sun Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, wanted to ask the emperor to take back Liu Sheng's official position, he finally got the news that Liu Sheng took office slowly.

"Master Shangshu, Concubine Liu has finally set off to take up his post!"

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji finally felt a little relieved on his face, and he finally didn't have to be in a dilemma anymore.

That's right, Liu Sheng has indeed gone to the post. Although his speed of going to the post is a bit too slow, it also means that Liu Sheng has finally gone.
