"Madam, those two children are so old, will they become less close to you in the future? In fact, if you want to raise them, it would be better to raise them by your side from a young age."
Xu Jinyi smiled but said nothing.
Dujuan was very nervous. She found that the lady's eyes had become sharp and scary in recent days.
I always feel like she sees through everything.
It makes people panic.
"Madam, do you still keep your promise to make me your concubine?" Dujuan asked cautiously.
"It counts, of course it counts. Raising two children is fine, but like you said, what if they're not filial?"
"If I could raise someone who has been with me since childhood, I would naturally be happy to do so."
Du Juan's face lit up with joy: "Then...then..."
"But you saw my mother's attitude today, and I've adopted the child. I'm afraid my husband won't agree."
Dujuan's face fell instantly.
"But don't worry, my husband is only away for the next two days. If he comes back, I will transfer you to his side to take care of you. Whether you can achieve success then depends on you."
Du Juan knelt down and said, "Thank you, Madam."
So, Xu Jinyi said: "Since you will be considered a member of the mansion in the future, you will also be the concubine of the two children."
"I am physically unable to teach these two children, so I leave their teaching to you."
"Go to Qingfeng Garden and take a look. I'll transfer you back after my husband comes back."
"Yes, ma'am."
The secret guards in the dark remembered the emperor's requirements and reported every detail, so these conversations were also recorded in a notebook.
Fu Shiyan almost fled back to the palace, and the thing in his arms was so hot that it burned him all the way.
He regretted it after he left, fearing that Xu Jinyi would find the things missing and go looking for them.
But when I returned, the maid was already packing up.
Seeing that they didn't find anything unusual, I didn't return it.
Lying on the bright yellow bed, Fu Shiyan couldn't get rid of the scene in his mind where Xu Jinyi scooped up water and poured it over himself.
The water droplets slid down the ditch along the undulating curves, which was so tempting.
The tall building that rose from the ground did not recover for a long time.
He took out the small piece of clothing from his arms, put it on his face obsessively, and felt the fragrance on it.
Fu Shiyan's expression became intoxicated and his breathing became disordered.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xu requests an audience."
Lord Xu? Yier's father.
Hearing this, the emperor sat up nervously and stuffed the small clothes under the bed.
His face was embarrassed, as if he had been caught.
It feels like you stole someone's daughter's underwear and the next moment your father came to your door.
But that was the person he wanted to please, so the emperor didn't make people wait too long before summoning him.
When Duke Xu Huguo left, his head was in a daze.
After serving as an official for many years, this was the first time I found the emperor so easy to talk to.
In the past, if we wanted to allocate funds to provide porridge to refugees, we would definitely discuss it carefully.
I didn't expect that he would be allowed to do it this time.
Recently, there has been a drought in Jinan, and many refugees have come here.
Those people were not allowed to enter the city, so they set up camp outside the city and stayed there, refusing to leave.
This had a significant impact on people entering and leaving the city, so Lord Xu went to the palace and proposed allocating funds to provide porridge.
As long as they can hold on for a while and it rains there, these refugees will go back.
They were also trying to survive, and the court couldn't just sit back and watch.
After seeing off his future father-in-law, Fu Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sun Defu?!"
The two young eunuchs outside looked at each other, and neither dared to go in.
I was afraid of ending up like Sun Defu.
"Sun Defu?!"
Hearing the shouts again, the two men could only bite the bullet and go in: "Your Majesty, you have punished Eunuch Sun by sending him to the Xinzheku today."
Fu Shiyan frowned: "He was so obedient at this time. Why didn't he roll around when I told him to? Why didn't I ask him to come back?"
"yes."
In fact, after being called away by the Empress Dowager, Sun Defu had the imperial physician examine his wound in the Cining Palace. After applying medicine to his wound, he returned to his room to rest.
Now that he heard that the emperor had summoned him, he came to see him with a bitter face.
Seeing Sun Defu's weak and sickly appearance, Fu Shiyan's face darkened.
"I told you to go to Xinzheku, but you fell into the bushes. What happened to these injuries?!"
Sun Defu had been with Fu Shiyan since he was a child, and could be said to be the person who knew the emperor best.
He was also the person Fu Shiyan trusted the most. When he saw that he had bruises on his face, his expression turned extremely ugly.
After all, Sun Defu is not young anymore. It would be strange if Fu Shiyan was happy that someone so young dared to hit him, especially someone close to him.
When Fu Shiyan yelled like that, Sun Defu thought of the grievances he had suffered in Xinzheku, and tears actually fell from his eyes.
"What's wrong with a grown man crying? Who hit you?"
Upon learning that it was the nanny from Xinzheku, Fu Shiyan glared at the useless Sun Defu in annoyance.
"You are capable, but you still let others bully you."
"I am a eunuch who made a mistake and was punished. I am not an important person. How could that nanny take me seriously?" Sun Defu said with a choked voice.
"Okay, take good care of your injuries. Once you're healed, we'll take the place back."
After a pause, Fu Shiyan continued, "Isn't the position of Chief Eunuch still vacant? You go."
Sun Defu's eyes widened. He didn't expect that such a good thing would happen after being beaten.
The difference between a eunuch and a eunuch chief is not a little bit.
As the chief eunuch, he is half the master, and all the eunuchs in the palace have to obey him.
Once he goes out, no one will dare to bully him.
"Your Majesty, are you serious?"
"Fake."
Sun Defu's wrinkles were all smiles: "I bow down to thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor."
"Your Majesty, I am fine now. I can go find a place to fight now. I don't need to rest anymore."
"Your Majesty, I will be back soon."
"Go away."
late at night.
Fu Shiyan hugged the little dress and fell asleep with a smile on his face, hoping to return to his daydream again.
However, Xu Jinyi has no time to enter her dream again tonight.
Xu Jinyi copied a list of her dowry by hand and asked Jinxiu to send it back to her home.
Looking at Xu Jinyi's recent behavior, Jinxiu became more and more confused.
"Madam, are you writing this dowry list?"
"It will come in handy in the future." After all, starting tomorrow, every day will be exciting.
A few days later, with everyone in the Lin family waiting, Lin Ze finally dragged his tired body back to the mansion.
The news of his return home quickly reached everyone's ears.
Jiang Hui, who was mocked by Du Juan every day for asking for money, immediately found Lin Ze to cry and complain.
Of course, I didn't forget to dress myself up before going to the study to find him.
Although he really disliked Xu Jinyi's old clothes, these clothes were indeed better than those he brought with him.
So Jiang Hui changed into a piece of clothing that looked newer.
Also tighten the chest a little to make those two lumps of flesh look fuller.
