Chapter 45 Tang was tricked
Tang Caidie came to her senses again: "Yes, it seems that you really care about me."
Fu Danjun changed the subject: "But he has been kept with me all this time, and the servants at home are constantly complaining. So, in my opinion, Madam Li should pay some money to feed the child, and then take his mother back to her hometown."
Tang Caidie was unhappy again when she showed the silver: "Yuan and her son are not worth even one ounce of silver."
Fu Danjun paused and continued, "Killing Yuan is easy, but keeping the child alive is difficult. When he grows up, he might avenge his mother. Wouldn't that cause endless trouble? It's better to give him some money and let him eat, drink, and have fun. After a while, he'll forget everything."
Tang Caidie was still having trouble making a decision, and Fu Danjun added fuel to the fire: "If there's a real uproar, won't the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion be damaged?"
Tang Caidie was still hesitant. Fu Danjun sighed, "I went to the temple to burn incense yesterday, and the monk told me to be kind to my children so that I can have children in the future. Otherwise, the Goddess of Childbirth won't favor me."
Tang Caidie was shocked and quickly agreed: "Forget it, I will spend money to avoid disaster. How much silver do you want?"
Fu Danjun pondered, "The child is still young. Giving him twenty thousand taels might help him get by until he's old. I'll help Madam spend ten thousand, and Madam can pay for the remaining ten thousand."
Tang Caidie's face turned purple: "I do have two thousand taels of silver notes with me."
Fu Danjun immediately smiled and said, "No rush, we'll just send someone to deliver the rest."
Tang Caidie felt a little bit like she was being fooled, but then she thought of the Goddess of Childbirth and was willing to spend money to avoid disaster.
"Okay, it's settled. I'll go back and get the banknotes."
Fu Danjun saw her out and turned around to talk to Yuan.
Yuan called Jin Zhao over, and they knelt down and kowtowed together: "I'm not happy about having money for the rest of my life, but your kindness gives me hope to live."
Fu Danjun helped the mother and child up and said with a smile: "As human beings, we all have the right to live, and we must live well."
Yuan was moved to tears. Fu Danjun frowned again, thinking, "Who knows if Yuan will regret it when she returns. But it doesn't matter. If she doesn't give me money, I'll support you. We're not short of money."
Yuan smiled and said, "I can work in the shop and support myself. I have enough courage to live a good life."
Fu Danjun was very pleased to hear this.
Jin Zhao also said confidently: "When I grow up a little more, I will go out and make money."
Fu Danjun patted his head and said with a smile: "You'd better study harder, otherwise you won't be able to find a wife in the future."
Jin Zhao blushed, made a face and ran away.
At noon, Yuan cooked the meal herself and invited Fu Danjun and Xu Yu to come over for a drink.
Fu Danjun was in a very good mood and drank a little too much.
After Lan Fang was helped back to the bedroom, he fell asleep and did not wake up until almost night.
Yuan also sent some porridge and pickles, saying that it would make her stomach feel better.
But before he could eat it, two maids came from the palace and asked Fu Danjun to enter the palace as ordered.
Fu Danjun was very surprised and didn't know why he was asked to go to the palace. Could it be that Xie Changsheng was too lazy to walk?
Lan Fang hurriedly dressed her up, and the nanny reminded her: "Dress up beautifully, the more formal the better."
Xu Yu's maid Dan He came over to deliver some side dishes and happened to see two maids.
Because she was given to Xu Yu by Xie Changsheng and grew up in the palace since childhood.
She knew exactly what the maids in the palace looked like, what they were dressed like and what their temperament was like.
Later, Fu Danjun took Lan Fang and followed the nanny away, and ran back to report: "Miss Fu followed the nanny into the palace, so she must have been summoned by the emperor."
Xu Yu was combing her hair in front of the mirror. After hearing this, she laughed and said, "Even if you're not summoned to the palace, you still have to come here. Isn't it the same?"
Dan He took the opportunity to make a big fuss: "Young lady is also the emperor's favorite person, why not summon him together?"
Xu Yu said calmly: "Maybe next time."
Dan He still didn't shut up: "Young lady, if you don't hurry up and win over the emperor, when will the master's injustice be redressed?"
Xu Yu couldn't help but frown: "We have to wait for the emperor to summon us, right? Do I have to take the initiative to go to the dragon bed?"
Dan He leaned closer and whispered, "I suspect it was Mrs. Fu who belittled the young lady in front of the Emperor. Anyway, the young lady is so foolish and easy to deceive."
Xu Yu slammed the table and scolded him harshly: "You little gossiper, if you keep talking nonsense I will kick you out."
Dan He relied on the fact that she was sent by the emperor and was not afraid of Xu Yu at all: "Hehe, don't be angry, Miss, this servant is also for your own good."
Xu Yu snorted and said, "I know my sister better than you what kind of person she is. Stop provoking her."
On the other side, Fu Danjun was sitting in the car thinking.
Why did Xie Changsheng let her enter the palace, so she had to dress up?
After all, he is a person who hates tediousness, and it is impossible for him to appreciate it before going to bed.
After some random guesses, Fu Danjun thought of Wanyan Qi, the Hu people.
In recent years, Dagan has been trading frequently with the Hu people, and some outstanding merchants have been received by the emperor. Could it be that Wanyan Qi has also been received by the emperor? But it has nothing to do with me, right?
After getting off the car, the nanny disappeared and was replaced by two eunuchs who led Fu Danjun forward.
At the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the eunuch asked Lan Fang to stay.
Fu Danjun hinted to Lan Fang with his eyes not to worry about herself.
At the same time, one could hear the noise of drums and music, and the playing of stringed instruments and pipes in the hall.
Everyone said that Xie Changsheng was a conservative emperor who never liked singing, dancing or noise.
What happened today? Fu Danjun followed the eunuch into the hall, which was as bright as day.
The scene before my eyes was a dazzling one, with singing and dancing girls dancing in the middle of the hall, surrounded by tables and chairs.
There were people sitting behind the tables and chairs watching the singing and dancing. Fu Danjun lowered his head and followed the eunuch, and could only get a general idea of what was going on out of the corner of his eyes.
Of course, everyone was so engrossed in the singing and dancing that no one noticed her.
The eunuch stopped and turned around and said, "Miss, please wait a moment."
After saying this, the eunuch left.
Fu Danjun didn't know what to do, so he just stood there obediently.
But she had already looked up at these people and saw clearly that more than half of these singing and dancing girls were dressed as Hu women.
Most of the people sitting around were Hu people, so it was indeed related to the Hu people.
Then she saw Xie Changsheng in a dragon robe and a crown, and Concubine Zhou sitting next to Xie Changsheng.
Fu Danjun was surprised that Xie Changsheng was really serious when he pretended to be serious.
How could anyone who doesn't know the details imagine the ridiculous things this tyrant did behind the scenes!"
The drum music suddenly stopped, and Xie Changsheng's call also fell into Fu Danjun's ears.
"Dan Jun, come closer and talk."
It was a grand occasion and there were Hu people present, so Fu Danjun could not be negligent in observing etiquette.
So she quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and kowtowed three times and nine times.
Xie Changsheng was stunned when he saw her wearing a rose-red brocade dress and a tasseled pearl hairpin hanging from her high bun, which made her hair look even darker and her skin even whiter.
