Chapter 350 Buy Her a Gift
The emperor looked at the prince with a serious look.
The prince secretly complained in his heart. He should have listened to Mu Que and should not have been so hasty. He had just regained his favor. What if something went wrong again?
At this moment, a young eunuch came in.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu sent me a calming scent bag, saying that the Third Prince grows his own herbs in the academy, and they have the best calming effect."
The emperor smiled, and Eunuch Wei stepped forward, took the sachet and handed it to him.
"Well, this scent is nice. The third brother is thoughtful."
The prince lowered his eyes to hide the anger in them.
Good job, the third brother. He doesn’t come back often, but he often causes him trouble.
The emperor said in a deep voice: "Prince, you are the crown prince, and you should set an example for the other brothers. This is an auspicious event. I heard that you have already found someone to suppress the news, and I feel a little comforted."
The prince was startled. Asking someone to suppress the news? When did it happen? No.
Could it be that...
He said quickly: "Father, I only wish for your health and prosperity. I don't care about anything else."
The emperor nodded and said, "As for Yunzhou's affairs, after you hand over the banknotes to the Ministry of Revenue, let them handle it first. You can take care of the incense offering first."
"Yes, I understand."
"I'll take my leave."
The prince left and Eunuch Wei saw him out the door.
The prince smiled at Eunuch Wei and said, "Eunuch, you are an old man beside the emperor. You have taken great pains to take care of the emperor. I see that the emperor is not in good health. Since you are by his side, please don't overwork the emperor."
"Yes, I have made note of it. Your Highness, rest assured. I will send you off respectfully."
The prince then left quickly.
Eunuch Wei flicked his whisk and returned to the study.
The emperor held the sachet in his hand and asked, "Is he gone?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has left and said that you look unwell and asked me to pay more attention to you."
The emperor asked, "Did he ever ask about the queen?"
Eunuch Wei was stunned: "That's not the case."
"Humph, he hasn't even mentioned his mother. Can he really be filial to me?"
Eunuch Wei lowered his head and dared not answer.
"I have checked. His people were the ones who spread the news, and his people were also the ones who suppressed the news."
"The news has spread again. If I ask for accountability, he can shirk responsibility. It really kills two birds with one stone. The prince I personally selected does have some strategy. Haha."
Eunuch Wei lowered his head even lower.
…
The prince returned to the palace and shouted without stopping, "Ask Mu Que to come see me!"
Mu Que came upon hearing the order and greeted him respectfully: "Greetings, Your Highness."
The prince looked angry and asked, "What did you do without telling me?"
Mu Que took two steps back and knelt down: "Your Highness, I just don't agree with what those people said. I bribed some people privately to suppress the rapidly spreading news."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. Those people are all nameless people, peddlers and hawkers. Even if someone investigates them, they won't be able to find out who ordered them, and it won't bring any harm to Your Highness."
The prince stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud and reached out to help him up.
"Mu Que, you did a good job."
"I want to promote you and allow you to serve me."
Mu Que opened his eyes slightly, with a hint of joy in his eyes, but his expression was still solemn and steady.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The prince was very satisfied with his reaction.
He is so young, yet he sees things clearly, and he is so calm and composed, not surprised by praise or criticism.
The key is that he still hates Fu Qingyin.
"You said last time that you had a grudge against Fu Qingyin, what's going on?"
Mu Que lowered his eyes and clenched his fingers: "This matter... is a long story. My parents and elder brother all died because of him. This hatred is irreconcilable."
The prince patted his shoulder and said, "As long as I am here, there will be a day when I can help you get revenge!"
…
Fu Qingyin left the palace, sat in the carriage, and thought about what had just happened with his eyes slightly closed.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting, I opened my eyes, lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw a peddler pushing a cart, selling things.
“Stop.”
Fu Qingyin got off the car. The peddler was greeting someone else. He saw him after he finished his work. When he looked up, he was startled.
"What do you want?"
Such a noble person couldn't possibly come here to buy his things.
Fu Qingyin said nothing, his eyes moving back and forth over the car several times.
The peddler was extremely nervous: "Did I block your way? I will leave right away."
Fu Qingyin waved his hand and pointed at the handkerchief on his car: "What is that?"
The peddler: “???”
"This is a handkerchief made by my wife. I embroidered it myself. She is good at needlework and embroidery, so I am selling it."
It was actually exactly the same as what Hao Mengye said.
Fu Qingyin took a quick look and saw that the bags were folded neatly when they were sold, with the embroidered patterns facing outwards and upwards.
Some are mandarin ducks, some are twin lotus flowers, and some are plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.
The embroidery is really good.
But none of them could compare to his handkerchief, on which his name was embroidered obscurely.
This handkerchief is not worth buying.
Looking away, the peddler realized that this person was really here to buy something.
Whatever the reason was, the peddler was surprised, scared and happy, and started to recommend it.
"This small mirror came from the West. It reflects very clearly."
"This earring is made of coral and cinnabar beads, which can ward off evil spirits."
"This silver bracelet..."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Qingyin picked up a slingshot and asked, "How much is this?"
The peddler: “…”
…
When Fu Qingyin returned to Zhenqiao Tower, he heard laughter and smelled fragrance.
He slowed his pace, raised his hand to stop others from singing the news of his return to the building, and walked in.
At the place where they usually have dinner, the black and white group were making a fire and telling some funny stories from time to time.
Jin Baobao was watching the pot from the side. Bubbling inside was the fragrant chicken soup, and the hot steam filled with aroma was wafting everywhere.
Yu Shengsheng's sleeves were tightened, her hands and nose were covered in flour, and she was making noodles.
Green Lake was cutting vegetables into shreds and cubes next to it.
Several other Red Dragon Guards were still helping to wash the vegetables, with various vegetables arranged with water droplets on them.
It’s strange, I never thought that vegetables are all pretty good looking before.
Yu Shengsheng said with a smile: “Baobao, take out the chicken bones and other things later.”
"Hei Bai, please grill the marinated chicken. I think the commander will be back soon."
"Wait until he comes back and then put the noodles in the pot."
Fu Qingyin's Adam's apple rolled slightly. She was actually waiting for him?
Really, a bowl of noodles requires such a big fuss.
Like he had never eaten noodles before.
He touched the thing in his arms, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then quickly suppressed them.
He cleared his throat and Yu Shengsheng turned around and saw him.
"The commander is back?"
She walked over quickly, her eyes sparkling, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "How is it? Is it about Yunzhou?"
She was filled with fragrance and heat, and her face was red, like a juicy and rosy radish.
Fu Qingyin felt saliva welling up in his throat and his eyes seemed to be filled with moisture.
He looked away: "Well, yes, Lu Jinming was very cooperative. You did a good job. It worked."
Yu Shengsheng's eyebrows curved slightly: "That's good."
