Chen Qingqing panicked for a moment but then calmed down immediately. "Father-in-law, what's wrong?"
Wang Fugui swung the whisk to his right elbow and looked at the woman in front of him with a half-smile. He did not answer, but reminded her again, "Let's go, Miss Chen, don't keep His Majesty waiting."
"..." Chen Qingqing gritted her teeth angrily, turned her head to look at the little maid, and signaled her to give money to the chief steward.
Money can make the devil work, and money can also make eunuchs inform on others.
The little maidservant shrank back when the young lady stared at her, blinked innocently and looked back, tilting her head as if asking her what was the matter.
Chen Qingqing was so angry that she fell backwards. In order to look good and be pleasing to the eyes, she had fired the nanny and maids over 18 years old. Now, only a group of girls aged 11 or 12 were left around her.
They lived very well in the Chen Mansion. The head of the Chen Mansion was Chen Qingqing's father, one of the very few scholars with a gentle personality.
He had a low status in the court and was managed by his wife at home. He had no concubines or maids, and his backyard was quiet without any family fights.
The little girls were the children of the servants in the mansion. They were obedient and naive, and had no idea about the hidden rules in the palace.
Chen Qingqing endured it again and again, and had no choice but to go over and quietly handed the purse in her arms to Wang Fugui with a painful look on her face.
She forced a smile on her face. "This is my first time meeting the emperor, and I'm very nervous. I'd like to ask the father-in-law to give me some advice."
Wang Fugui took the purse and weighed it, and was surprised to find that it was quite heavy.
I've heard that the eldest daughter of the Chen family is very smart. Today I see that she is indeed extraordinary. Her ability to make money is amazing.
Can compare to him.
Various thoughts flashed through Wang Fugui's mind, and finally a seemingly enthusiastic smile appeared on his lips, "Miss Chen is too polite."
Wang Fugui led the way half a step ahead of her, and along the way, he skillfully and effectively addressed Chen Qingqing's questions.
When the journey was halfway through, he slowly spoke in front of Chen Qingqing's anxious expression, "The emperor hates lies the most. Miss Chen, just remember this when you meet him."
"We dare not say anything more about the rest." Wang Fugui silently raised his thumb and pointed to the top of his head. "If you rashly discuss the higher-ups, you will lose your head."
Chen Qingqing didn't hear what she wanted to know, and was so anxious that she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.
She hardened her heart, gritted her teeth, took out a spare purse from her sleeve pocket, and handed it over with a painful look.
These two bags of money were the cosmetics deposits she had just earned from the "suckers" today, and they were gone before she could even hold them in her arms.
Chen Qingqing gasped in pain. Although she could still get the balance, the deposit was also quite a lot.
Isn't this just cutting flesh off her body?
Wang Fugui took the purse with a smile on his face, and in front of her angry gaze, he briefly told her about the emperor's little habits and the people he hated the most.
But these are all insignificant details. Chen Qingqing spent so much money and wanted to know why the emperor suddenly called her over.
She wasn't too worried about what happened in the pavilion just now.
Although Zhao Xuanyi vomited blood and was unconscious, it was not her fault.
In the eyes of others, she just couldn't help herself and confessed to the third prince without suppressing her emotions.
Even if there is suspicion of destroying other people's feelings, she did not succeed.
If something fails, can you really put the blame on her?
So Chen Qingqing was not panicked at all, she was just worried about her cosmetics business.
Her cosmetics contained something that was clearly prohibited by imperial law.
The dosage used is very small, but if someone is deliberately targeting her, go get tested.
Then she's done.
"Thank you for your advice, eunuch." Chen Qingqing knelt down and saluted, her movements and manners were impeccable.
After bowing, she stood up straight and asked softly, "Eunuch, Qing'er wants to know why the emperor suddenly summoned me, the legitimate daughter of a fourth-rank official?"
Chen Qingqing saw Wang Fugui's perfunctory attitude and slowly probed, "Qing'er, remember, the last person who had this blessing was General Wen's only daughter, Wen Liyu, Miss Wen, right?"
"How can a eunuch like me know what the emperor is thinking?" Wang Fugui paused slightly, shook his head, and did not respond.
After he finished speaking, he looked forward, a dark light flashing in his eyes.
This girl from the Chen family is courting death.
Because she could only walk on her own two legs, when Chen Qingqing arrived at the prince's residence, she was informed by the guards at the door that the emperor had already moved to the imperial study.
Chen Qingqing, who was sweating all over, almost fainted.
In modern times, she is just a homebody and may not even be able to walk 200 steps a day.
I almost fainted when I reached the prince's residence, and now I have to walk to the imperial study on the other side of the diagonal line.
Although Wang Fugui is in his forties, he is in very good health.
He had long been accustomed to walking back and forth like this every day. After confirming that the news was true, he turned around and said with a smile, "Let's go, Miss Chen. This time you must walk faster, so as not to keep His Majesty waiting for too long."
Chen Qingqing: “…Yes.”
The two walked for a distance and were about to turn left when they heard the sound of uniform footsteps behind them.
Chen Qingqing didn't want to pay attention at first, but when Wang Fugui stopped, she stopped too.
When Wang Fugui saw the figure on the sedan chair, his smile changed significantly, becoming more flattering and sincere than before. "Miss Wen, are you leaving the palace?"
temperature…?
Chen Qingqing frowned and looked back, and happened to meet the eyes of Wen Liyu who was sitting on the sedan chair.
The light yellow outer gauze robe on Wen Liyu was blown by the wind, and the hem fluttered regularly, revealing a piece of white wrist as white as snow. Her slender knuckles rested on the armrest, and were pink in the sunlight.
Her gaze is gentle, her lovely almond eyes are slightly curved, her smile is bright, playful and cute, and looking at her will make people happy.
Chen Qingqing was not as amazed by the beauty as others. She just felt that the other party was provoking her.
She stared at the sedan chair where Wen Liyu was sitting, and huge waves of jealousy, resentment and bitterness surged in her heart. Waves of water beat against her reason, making her feel extremely irritated.
Why is Wen Liyu able to sit on the sedan chair?
But she can only walk with her legs.
This is not fair.
No matter how you look at it, Bunian should be treated as the heroine.
Why is Wen Liyu just a cannon fodder villain?
Wen Liyu glanced at her and ignored her, lowering her eyes to chat with Wang Fugui who was beside the sedan chair.
By the time they finished talking, a quarter of an hour had passed.
Chen Qingqing was forced to be exposed to the sun, and she was almost smoking with heat.
Wen Liyu, however, sat on a sedan chair, shielded from the sunlight by silk, with someone fanning her from behind. She looked very happy.
Wen Liyu glanced at the sunlight, which gradually changed from golden to orange-red, and took the initiative to speak, "Eunuch Wang, you are here to see the emperor, right? Don't keep him waiting for too long."
