Chapter 97 Ning Amber

After Xie Hui came out from the emperor's place, he did not go home directly, but went to the Dali Temple first.

Shen Yun was also very surprised to see Xie Hui suddenly, "Yes, when did you come back?"

"I have seen my uncle before. I came back this morning and went to the palace to see him first."

"You've been gone for more than a month. I heard that after Qingzhou, the emperor sent you somewhere else? You must have worked really hard. Did the emperor let you rest for a few days before returning to duty?"

Even if we put aside their personal relationship, Xie Hui is from the Dali Temple and is now his subordinate, so naturally he needs to take some care of him.

"Yes, after Qingzhou, I received another decree from the Emperor, asking me to stop by Yanzhou on my way back. The Emperor gave me a three-day vacation, but I don't know if the Dali Temple is busy now. If it is, I should come back to help."

"It's not busy now, and the busiest time has passed. During this period, the Imperial City Bureau and Jingzhao Prefecture have probably dug out every cesspool in the capital. There will never be a better time for public security than now. Now we in the Dali Temple have only some finishing work to do.

Since the emperor has granted you three days' leave, you should just rest at home. I see that you have become darker and thinner. "

"Yes, uncle." Xie responded, and bowed to Shen Yun at the same time, "Uncle, I wonder if I can meet Manman. She probably doesn't know I'm back yet."

"A few days ago, the princess sent a letter to Manman, saying that you went to another state and might not be back for some time." Shen Yun sighed and muttered in his heart, "Girls are no longer under the control of their fathers." Can he really stop his daughter from thinking about him?

"Wait until I'm off duty before you go. That way, people outside will think you're here to see me. After all, you two aren't engaged yet. If people find out, it will have a bad impact."

"Yes, I understand."

After leaving the Dali Temple, Xie Huicai went home. This time he came back quite suddenly, and the servants who came to open the door were all startled by him.

Princess Kangle was also startled by her son's sudden appearance. "What a fool you are, kid. Can you place your hand? You didn't even send this letter in advance before you were supposed to come back."

"Mother, I have just returned from Yanzhou by express horse and will be in the capital soon. If I had written a letter, the letter might not have arrived by the time I got there."

"Then I'd be happy to read it too. If you don't want to write, don't make excuses."

It was at this time that Princess Kangle began to take a detailed look at her son's situation.

"How come you have become darker and thinner after going out? You are not handsome anymore. I said the emperor has bad intentions! If it is really a good job, why doesn't he let his own son go?"

"Mother, several princes have not yet married and left the palace to set up their own households. It is not yet time for them to attend court. They cannot go even if they want to."

At the same time, Xie Hui also doubted whether he had really turned dark. It was only this morning, and three people had already said that he had turned dark.

"Don't worry, you'll still be handsome even when you're dark. I, your mother, gave you a good-looking face, so just be happy."

When Princess Kang Le saw her son quietly stretch out his hand to look at the back of his hand, she knew what he was thinking.

"Mother, I'm going to the Shen family this afternoon. Manman doesn't know I'm back yet."

"It's time to go. You've grown up. Go back and wash up and take a nap. Then go when you're refreshed."

After saying that, he turned to the maid and said, "Gardenia, mix the beauty powder we made last time and apply it on our young master later."

Before leaving, he left a message: "I hope Manman won't dislike you."

Xie Hui seldom had a good sleep these days when he was away. On the way back, he traveled day and night. He was really tired and almost fell asleep in the bathtub while taking a shower.

He didn't like having people around him when he was bathing, so it was the servant in the yard who heard no movement inside for a long time and came in to check on him and woke him up.

When Xie Hui changed into his pajamas and went out, he saw Zhizi waiting outside with the prepared facial mud.

"Master, the princess has asked me to apply it on you. When you wake up, you can wash it off with clean water."

Xie recalled that day, three people said he was dark in the morning, so he did not object, but sat down in silence.

“Put some on your hands too.” After applying it on his face, Xie Hui stretched out his hand again.

…

"Young Master, Young Master, wake up. Someone from the palace has come to deliver an order."

"A decree?"

When the servant called him for the first time, Xie Hui woke up and immediately got out of bed to change his clothes.

"Yes, the princess has passed away. Miss Gardenia beside the princess asked me to wake you up."

"I see. What time is it now?"

"It's only a quarter of an hour until the afternoon, Master."

Xie Hui changed his clothes, washed his face and combed his hair again before going to the front to receive the imperial edict. The emperor had not mentioned the imperial edict when he was in the palace that morning, so Xie Hui was not sure what the emperor wanted to do.

The one who came to deliver the imperial edict this time was the chief eunuch Deqing who was close to the emperor. Ordinary people would not receive such treatment.

When Deqing saw Xie coming back, he smiled and said, "Princess, Master Xie is here. Let's receive his order."

"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, proclaims:

The son of Princess Kangle, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, Xie Hui, was known to be intelligent and wise since childhood, a gentleman of integrity, and had a brilliant career. Since he became the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, he has repeatedly solved serious cases, which has greatly pleased me, and I want to commend him, so I have made him Earl of Ning'an.

I appreciate that.”

"Uncle, please accept the imperial edict quickly." Deqing smiled and handed the imperial edict to Xie Hui.

If it is said that Xie Hui grew up under the emperor's care, in fact, he was also grown up under Deqing's care. Therefore, he was very happy to see Xie Hui being rewarded and named Earl of Ning'an.

"That's quite generous of you. But you've worked hard this time, and it's what you deserve."

After Deqing returned, Princess Kangle took the imperial edict and read it, and she rarely praised the emperor.

The princess said this for a reason. There are many people with titles in the capital now, but most of them were conferred by the previous emperor, and nowadays they are not very fond of being rewarded.

"Mother, my uncle is the emperor now, you should be more polite when you speak to him."

"What are you thinking? How can I be so ignorant?" Princess Kangle patted her son. "I have been like this for a long time. You also said that he is the emperor. If he is not happy, he can depose me."

"Mother..."

"Well, when we were kids, I didn't just quarrel with him, I even whipped him, but he just loved playing with me, so what could I do? Besides, I don't even like to go to the palace now, so it doesn't matter if we just say a few words at home."

Xie replied: "..."

He didn't understand why someone would rush to be scolded? Maybe it was just a personal hobby.

"You are going to Manman's house, why don't you go there to have a meal and pick some gifts before leaving? Do you want to go there with an empty stomach and empty hands and eat and drink for free?"

"I understand, Mother."
