Chapter 86
The class in Chongming Hall has just ended.
Shuncai, as a close eunuch of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, was a nobody in the Eastern Palace, but once he left the Eastern Palace and walked around in the Taiji Palace, he was somewhat respectable no matter where he went. The young eunuchs and palace maids would all call him warmly: Brother Shuncai.
"Why is my brother here?"
"But what does Your Highness want?"
"It's so hot, Brother Shuncai, you've worked hard, please sit down for a while."
When the young eunuchs in Chongming Hall saw Shuncai, they all surrounded him. Shuncai acted a bit arrogantly outside. After all, he was born in the Eastern Palace. If he gave a nice face to everyone he met, where would the dignity of the Eastern Palace be?
Niu Dahai took a glance from afar and saw that the eunuch in his hall was as eager as a bee seeing a flower. After a closer look, he realized that this was Shuncai and walked forward with a smile.
Shuncai acted like a big brother in front of other young eunuchs, but he didn't dare to put on airs in front of Niu Dahai. Niu Dahai and Wang Zongguan were close friends, so Shuncai was not without tact. At this moment, Shuncai called out to Niu Zongguan warmly, "Hello, Niu Zongguan."
"Okay." Niu Dahai nodded with a smile, and said warmly: "But what instructions does Your Highness have?" It is important to do business.
Shuncai hurriedly said, "Our Highness sent me to pass on a message to Master Yan."
"The get out of class in the hall has just ended. I guess Young Master Yan is reading a book in the hall. You should go there quickly." Niu Dahai didn't even say hello. There was no point for him to say hello to Shuncai. Shuncai was not qualified.
Shuncai thanked Manager Niu for his advice and went into the main hall. There were other young masters in the hall, but Young Master Yan was the most conspicuous. He sat in the first row, looking handsome and gentle, reading a book. Shuncai approached and greeted him first.
Yan Huaijin said, "But what's the matter, Your Highness?"
In front of outsiders and servants, Yan Huaijin was somewhat serious. He did not address many people by their names, but called them "Your Highness".
Shuncai didn't dare to act arrogantly in front of this person. The whole East Palace knew how much His Highness valued Young Master Yan. Young Master Yan was His Highness's own man. At this time, Shuncai bowed and said respectfully: "Young Master Yan, our His Highness said that he would not come to the palace to have lunch with you at noon today."
"Is there something wrong with him?" Yan Huaijin thought of something and asked with some concern, "He ate too much watermelon yesterday, and it was a little cold. Is he feeling sick?"
Shuncai said first: "It's not that, Master Yan, don't worry." He thought that Master Yan was one of His Highness's own people, so he tried to curry favor with him and said with a smile: "Originally, our Highness wanted to come over to have dinner with you. In the morning, Tutor Hu had just finished his class, and His Highness had a bowl of sweet water to take a break. He was about to leave, but then Guard Xu brought someone in and made up a story that His Highness had asked him to serve him before he left the palace..."
Yan Huaijin frowned as he listened, and said to Shuncai, "Your Highness is not that kind of person."
"Yes, yes, the younger one has said too much." Shuncai realized that he had said too much. It was also rare today. It was the first time that their Highness had encountered such a thing, and it was with a man. At this time, he said: "That Zhao is not as good as our Highness——"
"Shuncai, Your Highness, don't compare your appearance with others." Yan Huaijin reminded.
"Yes, thank you, Master Yan, for your advice." Shuncai was startled and stopped talking. His tongue was a little long just now. If Steward Wang knew that he compared His Highness with that guy named Zhao, he would definitely beat him.
Fortunately, I am in front of Young Master Yan today, and Young Master Yan is not the kind of person who talks too much or likes to gossip.
After Shuncai's words were passed on, he did not dare to stay any longer and left after paying his respects according to the rules.
Seeing Shuncai was so timid when he came, and he tucked his tail between his legs when he left, Niu Dahai was a little curious and teased Shuncai, "Why are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay a little longer and play with your brothers?"
"After I have delivered the message, I will go back and serve His Highness. I will not stay any longer." Shuncai ran away quickly.
Niu Dahai laughed, and when he saw the man running away, he said to the young men in the hall, "He must have said something because he talked too much. Fortunately, he was in front of Young Master Yan. Wang Yuanyuan will have to correct his loose-lipped habit sooner or later."
The young eunuchs naturally praised Chief Steward Niu and said he was right.
Inside the main hall, Yan Huaijin lowered his eyes, unable to read the book in his hand any more. He was not afraid of the heat, but at this moment he felt the main hall was stuffy and a little irritated. His last name was Zhao, and he remembered that he and Xuanyuefu had gone to Changtu Town to eat rabbits and stayed at Zhao's house.
The two of them ate and slept together, and had never seen any young master of the Zhao family.
The young master of the Zhao family came to see him at this time, so he must have something else, or something big, related to government affairs.
Yan Huaijin actually knew that the emperor wanted to carry out land reform a few days ago, and his uncle had been talking about it in the mansion for many days. His uncle said it was a good thing, and that in the future every citizen would have land, but it was difficult to do. Various irrelevant obstacles in the court were trying to delay the progress. His uncle had been very busy recently and had been sleeping in the front yard every day.
He knew everything, but Yan Huaijin still felt uncomfortable. He closed the book and wondered what Xuan Duofu liked. Xuan Duofu liked to eat rabbits and play, but he didn't like to read serious articles...
Many people like him.
He likes many blessings.
Xuanzheng Hall.
Emperor Ningwu smiled coldly, and Xuanyuefu knew that his father was really angry. He cursed those dark forces in his heart, trying to muddy the waters. These people were so bold as to take risks, which was to force his father to withdraw the land reform policy.
To be honest, if Zhaozihe had not come to ask for help today, if the land reform decree had not been issued, there would definitely be innocent families like Zhaozihe, and there would also be clan leaders who would think they were too stubborn and implicate innocent clan members.
But no matter what, this move was a success and benefited millions of ordinary people in Dasheng.
There is a saying: A speck of dust in history is a mountain to ordinary people.
Fortunately, Zhaozihe came to help today, and we tried to save as many innocent people as possible.
Manyu Fu asked, "Father, I will investigate this matter."
The Emperor wanted to carry out land reform, and my father was busy outside every day. He had not returned to the palace for several days. It must be because of this. As the crown prince, he and his family should advance and retreat together. It was not appropriate for him, as a son, to stay in the East Palace to eat, drink and have fun while his two fathers were so busy.
Zhong Yun saw that Xuandu Fu's thoughts were revealed on his face, and he felt touched as a kind father. He had originally not wanted Xuandu Fu to suffer, but now he felt relieved.
"Let the Eastern Palace investigate this matter." Zhong Yun was referring to the Eastern Palace. There was no need for Fu to do everything himself.
Xuanyun Fu took the order and went back with Zhao Zihe. On the way, he asked Officer Xu Ling to select some men. He knew his own strength and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Officer Ling. You are the leader this time. If the situation is urgent, take Zhao Zihe to Changtu Town first. You don't need to ask the reason. Detain all the yamen runners and don't let them die."
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Xu Lingguan had been trained in the East Factory, so this kind of task was a piece of cake.
Xuanyifu strode back to the East Palace and shouted, "Call Xu Muyu, Wen Lianglu and the others to come over. I have something to say."
Since Changtu Town has such a situation, I believe that the towns near Shengdu City must have similar situations.
Xu Lingguan was about to leave with Zhao Zihe. Duo Xuanfu saw Zhao Zihe's miserable appearance and said, "Give him a bowl of rice, a pot of water, and some dry food, and let him wash first."
Zhao Zihe didn't expect that His Highness would notice such a small matter. His eyes welled up with gratitude and tears rolled down his cheeks. Before he could say anything else, His Highness had already left.
Xu Lingguan patted Zhao Zihe and said, "Come with me. Take a bath and eat after one stick of incense. Don't eat too much or you will vomit when riding a horse."
"Thank you, sir." Zhao Zihe bowed and thanked him. The matter was settled and he was no longer as nervous as he was at first. Only then did he notice that the guard's eyes were blue and he was very surprised.
Xu Lingguan glanced at Zhao Zihe, who quickly lowered his head and dared not look any further.
In the study room in the front yard of the East Palace, the East Palace's errand team had all arrived. Xuan Fu waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities, and went straight to the point, explaining the reason in a few words, and then said, "Wen Lianglu, go find a bookstore and write down some straightforward land reform policies that benefit the people. Don't write in a flowery way. The people can't understand them and can't read. You don't need to write down the specific land reform policies."
"It is written that the land reform will distribute tens of millions of hectares of land owned by the aristocratic families to the common people, so that everyone will have land to cultivate. Anyone who obstructs the land reform policy or speaks nonsense and slanders the land reform policy is a rebel."
Wen Liangru: “Yes.”
"Wang Banban, give Lord Wen a token so that he can enter and leave the palace at will. If things get urgent, he can come in to see me even if the palace gates are locked." Xuanyunfu said.
When he moved to the Eastern Palace, the Internal Affairs Office made a batch of tokens. The Eastern Palace had this authority, just like the Eastern Factory. However, Xuanfu regarded himself as a good boss and never let his subordinates work overtime. He himself wished he could be late for school, leave early, and spend every day lying on the couch eating melons. There was not much work to do in the Eastern Palace before.
This is the Qingshui Yamen, where people drink tea, play chess, and paint in the East Palace every day, and write articles and do homework for the prince - and the prince has to do it again by himself.
Wang Yuanyuan handed over the token, and Wen Lianglu took it and left the palace to do his job.
“Xu Muyu, take He Tong to these towns near Shengdu, bring some people, stabilize the situation, and pay attention to safety.”
"Wen Erdan, you will be in charge of logistics. Organize everything I said today. In the future, write down any better experiences they have gained and any losses they have suffered. Write a memorial to the cabinet."
"Yes." Wen Erdan said solemnly and respectfully.
After that, everyone went about their business. After Xuanyunfu had given his instructions, Wang Banban reminded him, "Your Highness, it's time for lunch. Let's have cold noodles today."
When the weather gets hot, Xuanfu likes to eat cold food, but the imperial kitchen doesn't dare to make cold food every day, so they cook it every three or five days. Today, Xuanfu should be happy to eat cold noodles, but at this moment, he sighed and said, "Banban, this is obviously a good thing, alas."
It's a good thing for the common people, but for the big families it's like digging out other people's secrets.
Wang Yuanyuan was also anxious when he saw His Highness looking worried, but he knew nothing about government affairs and didn't know how to appease His Highness, so he said, "It's still early, why don't we ask Young Master Yan to come and have dinner with us?"
"It's late, Yan Jinjin must have finished his nap. Forget it, don't bother him. I'll eat by myself. Let me order the meal." Xuanyufu said.
If Wang Yuanyuan is happy, just eat. Your Highness will forget all the unhappiness while eating.
As expected, the cold noodles arrived - more than ten kinds of toppings were served in small plates, and there were four servings of noodles alone: multi-grain noodles of varying thicknesses, and rice vermicelli, all of which were rinsed with cold water. A small mouthful at the bottom of the bowl would allow His Highness to enjoy a few more flavors.
The table was filled with dishes and small bowls. Duoduofu became interested and said, "Let's have a bowl of spicy beef rice noodles first."
"I also want cold noodles with shredded chicken, some chives, and an extra spoonful of vinegar."
Upon hearing this, the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen mixed the noodles and added seasonings to the noodles for His Highness.
Xuan Xuanfu ate more than ten bowls in a row. It was not that he could eat too much, but he could only eat one mouthful of noodles and rice noodles. He was almost full after eating more than ten bowls. So he stopped eating and lay on the bed for a sleep. Before falling asleep, he was still thinking: I should have asked my classmate Yan Jinjin to come for dinner earlier. The cold noodles and rice noodles are really delicious.
The big stove in Chongming Hall is not as good as the one in his kitchen.
He also thought: I don’t know what the Zhao family’s situation is like. I hope those people will be more restrained when they hear his name.
Master Zhao guessed correctly. Those people were afraid of being investigated strictly and of course wanted to clean up all traces. They sent people to arrest the Zhao family, intending to make up a random name for the Zhao family. It was useless for Master Zhao to bring up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - these people turned the tables and said that Master Zhao didn't know the Crown Prince at all, and was using the Crown Prince's power to stop the land reform. They wanted to put Master Zhao in jail.
There were so many people coming that they surrounded the Zhao family. After counting the number of people, someone in the town shouted: Zhao Zihe is missing.
Who is Zhao Zihe?
Mr. Zhao’s second son is a scholar.
Now these people were scared, probably because the news had leaked out. What if Zhaozi and Zhen ran to Shengdu to ask the Crown Prince for help? With so many lives lost in the Zhao family, how could they dare to take action? Their original plan was to use threats and inducements to force a confession and lock up Master Zhao for a few more years. If the matter became a big deal and aroused public resentment, they would let the people stop the land reform? Once the matter was settled, who would know whether a small figure like Master Zhao was really stopping the land reform or just pretending to?
As a result, what should I do?
…
When Xu Lingguan and his men arrived, Changtu Town was no longer prosperous as before, and the doors of every household were closed. Someone curiously opened the door, but when they saw Xu Lingguan and his men with knives, they slammed the door shut again. Someone else saw Zhao Zihe beside Xu Lingguan and slowly opened the door.
"Second Master, where have you been? Why did you just come back? Go see your father."
Zhao Zihe's heart tightened and he fell off his horse, "What happened to my father?"
"Three days ago, those officials came again, wanting to arrest your father and put him in jail. Later, those officials heard that you had escaped, and during the dispute, your father bumped his head on someone's knife--"
Zhao Zihe was so frightened that his heart and liver broke, "Is my father okay?"
"Alas. Those people forced your father to death. What land reform? The higher-ups really don't want us ordinary people to live."
Zhaozihe was in disbelief. He called out "Dad" in a hoarse voice and staggered towards home.
"Those are not officials. Land reform is beneficial to the common people. It is because the land of the high-ranking officials was touched that some people jumped out to use ordinary people as knives." Xu Lingguan said seriously, and then said: "We are the guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace. We came back specially to save the Zhao family."
It was a step too late after all.
Another door opened, and a head poked out, saying carefully and respectfully, "Master Zhao is not dead. I was standing in the crowd at the time and saw it clearly. When those people knew that the Second Master had escaped, they seemed to be a little bit uneasy, as if they were guilty. Then they quarreled among themselves. One said that they would arrest Master Zhao and convict him, while the other said that they would quickly run back to report and ask questions. During the quarrel, the one who wanted to arrest Master Zhao accidentally bumped into his scabbard and fainted."
Who shouted "Murder, murder!"? The soldiers and government servants were killing people.
The situation was chaotic and all those people ran away.
At this time, the doors of several courtyards were all opened. Someone saw Xu Lingguan's peculiar appearance, especially his eyes, and immediately remembered, "You, you are the follower of that rich young master? I remember your eyes——"
"I'm sorry, sir, I talk too much."
Xu Lingguan didn't care and said, "We are from the Eastern Palace. You just need to remember that land reform is good for you. You must obey the orders of the emperor." After that, he took people to the Zhao family to ask for details.
Zhaozihe ran all the way to the door of his house, but found it closed. He knocked on it, crying "Daddy, Daddy!" He cried in front of the grave for a long time. Finally, the door opened. Zhaozihe saw that it was his eldest brother. He couldn't wipe away his tears and kept shouting "Where is Daddy's body?" and "I'm late."
"Second brother, what are you talking about? Our father is still alive and well." Zhao Lao shouted.
Zhao Zihe: ...Ah?
At the same time, a circle of cloth appeared above Mr. Zhao’s head.
When Xu Lingguan arrived, the father and son in Zhaojiayuan reunited and cried and laughed. When they saw him, Zhao Zihe said, "Dad, this is Guard Xu."
"I remember thanking the guard for saving my Zhao family." Master Zhao was about to kneel down.
Xu Lingguan first helped Master Zhao up and said that it was His Highness who saved them.
He added, "Since you sent Zhaozi and Xiang to ask His Highness for help, you should also know that something is wrong with the land reform. It is not what those people said. The emperor will tell you what the land reform is like later. I am here to catch those fake yamen runners. Tell me in detail, what they look like, and which direction they went..."
East Palace.
These past two days, Xuan Duofu was not very busy. All the people were sent out to do their own work. He was a little free. He had lunch with Yan Jinjin at noon. When talking about this, Xuan Duofu frowned. Yan Huaijin could only pick up some food for Xuan Duofu and said, "Xu Xuanfu, there will be no chaos. Those people are trying to stop a chariot with their arms. If Master Zhao can ask for help, other towns will naturally be able to see the loopholes in their lies."
"I know, I just want to reduce the number of innocent people involved as much as possible."
Yan Huaijin: "Then I will also write articles to promote it."
"Okay." Many of Fuxin's classmates said, "You can write something elegant and righteous, and make it into a newspaper and send it to the official school. There are many poor students in the official school, and then the scholars can spread the word in the local area."
It’s never a bad idea to use more positive publicity.
Xuan Xuanfu is good at public opinion propaganda. If he were asked to pick up a sword, mount a horse, and shout for war and killing, he would definitely not be able to do it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very self-aware.
Late that night, Officer Xu Ling came back first to report that the Zhao family was safe and sound. Only then did Xuan Fu breathe a sigh of relief and let Officer Ling continue.
"I caught two yamen runners, Your Highness. They are not fake."
"It's not fake?" Xuan Duofu reacted instantly. "How dare you, you really think you can get away with it, who are you working for?"
Xu Lingguan reported a local minor official, only a seventh-rank county magistrate, but he could not arrest him directly, and had to ask His Highness for permission. Xuanyunfu said, "I will return to my father tomorrow, you should rest first and keep the man under guard so he doesn't die."
This big fish has to be pulled out.
Xu Lingguan hesitated, and asked, "Just say your own words. Why are you still hesitating and hiding your thoughts in front of me?"
"Master, I guessed that the local county magistrate had something to say, and he wanted to link it to the Nine Gates Admiral Kaohsiung Gao. But I think this is weird, as if he was deliberately trying to link it to Gao, or maybe the other party was really scared and told the truth."
Neither side could give a clear answer and a detailed investigation was needed, which was why Xu Lingguan hesitated.
Manyu nodded and understood that the fish behind him might want his father to make the wrong move and cut off his arm. Maybe it was Kaohsiung. If it was Kaohsiung, it would be a bit bad. Guan Sheng was safe and had soldiers under him.
"It's okay, I'll just go ask Father."
So in the middle of the night - not that late, probably around ten o'clock at night - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not take the sedan chair, as he thought it was too troublesome, and hurried to the Zichen Palace.
Purple Palace.
Zhao Sanhua was on duty. His master had been working for two days in a row. Today, the Nine Thousand Year Old Emperor came back. The emperor went to bed early, so the master asked him to keep an eye on things and guard the night.
Upon seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Zhao Sanhua stepped forward to pay his respects first, then hesitantly considered what to do next. If His Royal Highness wanted him to pass on a message, should he do so?
"Is my father asleep? Is my father back too?" Xuanyu Fu asked.
Zhao Sanhua: "Master Xu came back half an hour ago, and the lights in the bedroom were turned off, Your Highness."
Xuanyunfu saw that Eunuch Sanhua looked 'confused', smiled and said, "Don't go and call him. Clean up the side palace. I'll sleep there. Call him when my father wakes up in the morning."
The two fathers must be exhausted these days.
Zhao Sanhua breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, regardless of whether it was appropriate for His Highness to sleep in the side palace without the emperor's order - it was very appropriate, because the side palace was the bedroom for His Highness to stay overnight. Even though His Highness lived in the East Palace and did not come often, the side palace had not been moved and was still the place His Highness usually used.
Xuanyunfu couldn't sleep in the East Palace, as he was worried. But when he arrived at their fathers' place, he felt relieved. He fell on the bed and started snoring.
Wang Yuanyuan moved towards Zhao Erxi's bed as if he knew the place well, and he squeezed in with Zhao Erxi. Zhao Erxi was sleeping soundly, and was touched by a hand. He shivered in fear, and Wang Yuanyuan smiled, "It's me..."
Zhao Erxi was so frightened that he broke into a sweat, thinking it was a ghost. But when he saw it was Wang Yuanyuan, he immediately lost his temper. Without saying anything more, he resigned himself to his fate and went to bed, mumbling, "Your Highness is here?"
"Well, everyone has rested."
"Before Lord Xu came back, His Majesty didn't sleep much for two nights, and I was also enduring..." He finished his words.
When Wang Yuanyuan saw this, she felt sad for Eunuch Zhao. She also thought, it's a good thing that Xiao Duofu is the Crown Prince and has the Emperor above him, otherwise he would have to live a hard life like Zhao Erxi, which would be miserable.
The next day was just dawn.
Zhong Yun got up first, and did not go to the martial arts arena to practice swordplay. He only practiced a set of boxing in the yard, which was relatively short. After the practice, he saw Xiao Man waking up and said, "Xu Duofu came last night."
"Ah? How come I didn't know Duoduo was here?"
"I just heard from Zhao Sanhua. We all rested yesterday, but he didn't let anyone pass on the message and slept at his place." Zhong Yun smiled and sighed when he said this. "He has grown up."
Xu Xiaoman: "Be more filial."
Emperor Ningwu had just finished praising the 'grown-up' Crown Prince when he ran out in summer clothes, crying out: "Daddy, daddy, father, daddy——"
The couple looked at each other, and Zhong Yun was amused and said, "My golden words don't count in many blessings, how come he is getting worse as he grows older, and is even more troublesome than when he was ten years old."
"It would be great if Duoduo could be more lively." Xu Xiaoman said, "You just wanted to say that the child has grown up and knows his limits, and seems to be alienated from us. Now that Duoduo is getting closer to us, you should just be happy."
Zhong Yun: ...with a smile in his eyes.
Xuanyunfu ran in, greeted the two fathers first, ordered breakfast, and then got down to business.
"Is this why you came here last night?" Zhong Yun asked.
Xuanyuefu: "Isn't this a big deal?! Kaohsiung is in charge of the safety of the Nine Gates. What if he lets someone in? And I beat Gao Bin before. Oh, his son's leg was broken by himself. It has nothing to do with me."
"Your father let Kaohsiung guard the Nine Gates, especially since you and Gao Bin had a feud. Your father did nothing but reprimand you and fined you money. This proves one thing." Xu Xiaoman nodded to Duoduo.
Kaohsiung has some small plans to benefit himself, but he is indeed loyal.
The Gao family is not a big family, and they have to depend on the current ruler for their livelihood.
"This is not difficult to handle. Ask Kaohsiung to investigate. He is more anxious than anyone else to prove his innocence." Zhong Yun said with a smile on his face.
Xu Xiaoman knew why, and continued with a smile, "Duoduo, the army from Qianzhong has arrived. There are only 30,000 soldiers at Shengyu Pass, and the rest are guarding the passes. Shengdu will not be in chaos. Your father has already made arrangements. Wait for the decree to be announced to Dasheng. Next spring will be the planting season."
Many blessings:!
Very good!
Xu Xiaoman rubbed the baby's hair. Duoduo has really grown up and become sensible and started to worry about these things.
"Then does that mean Liu Qiang is back too?" Xuanyun Fu was very happy when he realized what was going on.
Zhong Yan: "Are you looking forward to Liu Qiang's return?" He was kicked under the table. Xu Xiaoman winked: You are here again.
"Of course, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Xuanyun Fu was very happy. "I also told the whole class that when Liu Qiang and Wang Yuansun come back, I will hold a celebration banquet for them in the East Palace."
Zhong Yun nodded, "Let the whole class play together, then let's play."
"I won't do it now. I'll play after I've settled down. Otherwise, I won't be able to play well because I'm always worried about something." Xuanyuefu said. He decided to postpone playing for a while and talked about the cause of the matter. "Dad, you didn't know that I was away for a while. I went to Changtu Town and stayed at Zhao's house for two nights. Fortunately, the rabbit meat there is delicious, otherwise I would have really forgotten who I was. Zhao Zihe came with my old clothes and said that I slept with him!"
"Of course, the situation was urgent, so I was generous enough to forgive him and didn't ask him to do anything wrong. I also asked Officer Xu Ling to go to Changtu Town to take a look. Last night, Officer Xu Ling came back and arrested two yamen runners. He followed the clues and traced the local county magistrate to Kaohsiung."
Xu Xuanfu said seriously, "Father, if there is anything about me out there, it's all a misunderstanding, you must not believe it."
Zhong Yun even put down his chopsticks, "Why didn't I know about this?"
"There were many ministers there at the time. It was all a misunderstanding. I didn't say anything." Xuanyufu said while eating a bun.
Zhong Yun thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Man, Xuan Duofu is almost eighteen years old. Should we choose a crown princess for Xuan Duofu?"
Manyu Fu choked on his bun.
"Xu Xuanfu, if you are happy, just tell us directly. Your father and I are not unreasonable people. If you want to get married, we will help you find someone." Zhong Yun said.
While Xu Xiaoman was handing the soup to his son, he patted his wife and said, "Do you want to choke Duoduo to death?"
Xu Xuanfu ate the food in his mouth, his eyes blazing with fire, and said first: "Father, I am only sixteen this year, and I haven't even celebrated my seventeenth birthday yet."
"Also, if I ever get married, I'll marry someone I like. You all promised me that you wouldn't match me up with random people."
Zhong Yun understood, "You don't have anyone you like right now."
"Then you are really pitiful."
"When I was with your father, I fell in love with him when I was twelve years old."
Manyu Fu: Sidaopu, I just want to eat breakfast and not dog food, that’s enough!
The author has something to say:
His Royal Highness Duozi: It’s really exaggerated that my father liked my dad even though he was in elementary school.
