When everyone was asleep, Hua Fushu personally prepared a midnight snack and sent it to the study.
Ever since Ye Zelin went to study at the Kong family private school, Hua Fushu would ask someone to prepare a midnight snack when Ye Zelin was reviewing his lessons in the evening. Sometimes she would send it to the study, and sometimes she would ask Sanqiao Lizhi to send it. However, there were not many times when she prepared and delivered the midnight snack herself.
The study is neither big nor small. It is the quietest place in the Guanju Pavilion courtyard. Before, Yuzhi made some noise outside the study, affecting Ye Zelin's reading. After Ye Zelin punished her, the servants in the courtyard knew that the second young master looked kind but not easy to mess with, so they didn't dare to hang around in front of the study easily. Therefore, the only one who could enter and leave the study at will was the young lady from Guanju Pavilion.
All the servants in the yard were sent away by Hua Fushu, and the whole yard was silent.
Hua Fushu took Ye Zelin's book away and waited until Ye Zelin had his midnight snack before saying, "I've sent everyone out of the yard. Ye Zelin, let's talk."
Ye Zelin placed his long arms on the edge of the desk, trapping Hua Fushu between him and the desk. He smiled and said, "Madam, what do you want to talk to me about? Love?"
Hua Fushu said seriously, "Be serious, I'm serious, we have to have a good talk."
Ye Zelin said, "I am serious too."
Hua Fushu didn't bother to argue with him and went straight to the point, "What are your plans regarding my uncle and the eldest master? Or rather, what are your plans, His Majesty?"
Ye Zelin let go of Hua Fushu and stood up straight. "Why do you ask?"
Hua Fushu said, "Ye Zelin, I can guess what the consequences will be if this matter is exposed, but you concealed it. You definitely didn't conceal it for me."
Ye Zelin asked back, "How do you know I didn't hide this for you?"
Hua Fushu smiled. She said, "Ye Zelin, we are all people of measure. No matter how much we like someone, we will never forget our responsibilities. I remember you said that you, Liu Feixu, and Nie Huaixin are all His Majesty's people. Since you are His Majesty's people, you must share His Majesty's worries and fulfill your duties. You kept the Huo family's affairs a secret, so you must have a plan. Tell me, does His Majesty know about the Huo family's affairs? What does His Majesty plan to do to the Huo and Hua families?"
Ye Zelin said, "Shu'er, can you please not ask? It won't do you any good to know so much."
"No, you must tell me what His Majesty wants to do to my uncle and others." Hua Fushu refused sternly.
Ye Zelin said after a long while, "Your Majesty, I intend to overturn the case for the Huo family."
Hua Fushu was stunned. "What? Your Majesty, do you believe in the Huo family's innocence?"
Ye Zelin nodded, "General Huo Qing is loyal and brave. Your Majesty naturally trusts the Huo family."
"No, how could Your Majesty trust the Huo family so easily?" Hua Fushu said.
Ye Zelin said slowly, "I can't say too much. I can only tell you that the Northern Border Army is a serious threat to His Majesty."
Hua Fushu thought carefully and vaguely realized something. She said, "It's not the Northern Army, it's the Northern Army's commander."
Ye Zelin remained silent, and Hua Fushu took it as his agreement and did not ask him anything.
Ye Zelin said, "There is something I need your help with."
Hua Fushu asked, "You say."
Ye Zelin said calmly, "Your Majesty wants to see General Huo."
…
With Ye Zelin's help, a special guest came to Hua's house. This guest only met Sai Yuhuan once, but it was unknown what the two talked about. A few days later, Sai Yuhuan and Hua Mingqiao entrusted their young son to Hua Fushu and left the capital.
Yue Zheng was young, and his parents were not around. Hua Fushu did not want to keep him in the dowry house forever, so he discussed with Ye Zelin and decided to bring Yue Zheng back to the General's Mansion. As for what identity Yue Zheng should enter the General's Mansion, Hua Fushu had already made a suggestion, but Ye Zelin expressed concern that it was inappropriate.
Hua Fushu said, "There's nothing wrong with it. My master has always been elusive, and no one knows she has no children. Yue Zheng's identity as my junior apprentice will not arouse suspicion. My master is traveling far away to collect herbs, and the young son has no one to take care of him. It is only right for me, her disciple, to take care of him. My uncle won't let me tell my parents that he is still alive, and I can't bring Yue Zheng to see my father."
Ye Zelin did not object, and the matter was settled.
Yue Zheng's entry into the mansion was a big deal, so he had to ask for the opinions of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. After returning to the General's Mansion, Hua Fushu went to find his father-in-law and mother-in-law and told them about the matter. The two elders readily agreed.
Hua Fushu asked Sanqiao to clean a guest room for Yue Zheng to stay in. The next day, she changed Yue Zheng's clothes and brought Yue Zheng back to Guanju Pavilion. At the same time, she packed Nanxing into the General's Mansion, pretending that he was a servant sent by the master to Yue Zheng.
Nanxing was not happy at all to be changed from a guard to a servant, but Hua Fushu told him to pack up and go back to Meizong if he didn't obey his orders. Of course, Nanxing didn't want to go back to Meizong.
Ever since the young master said he wanted to learn poison techniques, he decided to teach him all his poison techniques. Of course, he would seize the opportunity to be the young master's master.
He was the first one in Mei Sect to take the young master as his disciple.
If Hua Fushu knew what Nanxing was thinking, he would definitely kick him back to Meizong.
There has been progress in the palace's selection process. The selection process is divided into preliminary and re-selection. Now that the preliminary selection has ended, Yu Chi Su was selected as she wished. Famous ladies like Lu Tianyun and Ruhuan naturally passed the preliminary selection and entered the re-selection.
August passed and the re-selection was over. There were more than thirty girls who passed the re-selection. The palace people would bring the girls who passed the re-selection into the palace to test their character. The suitable ones would stay in the palace, and the unsuitable ones would be sent out of the palace.
The news of Ruhuan's selection reached the general's mansion as soon as possible. The old general personally sent people to pack Ruhuan's luggage and personally sent Ruhuan on the palace carriage. After watching his granddaughter walk away, the old general reluctantly returned home.
Ye Shiheng walked past his father and whispered, "Father, I hope you won't regret your choice today."
The old general said, "I never regret any choice."
Ye Shiheng laughed, "I hope so."
After a fresh rain, the chrysanthemums bloomed in full bloom, vying for beauty and adding a bit of vitality to the huge imperial garden.
Queen Lu Yinli held a chrysanthemum viewing banquet and summoned the girls who had been in the palace for a few days to appreciate the chrysanthemums.
This chrysanthemum viewing banquet was not about chrysanthemums, but about the character of the girls from each family. To be an imperial concubine and give birth to royal heirs, appearance is not the most important thing, character is the most important thing. No matter whether it is the queen or the queen mother, no one wants the concubine to be seductive and seduce the king.
Ruhuan followed her brother's advice and stayed in her bedroom obediently after entering the palace. She did not go anywhere. If it were not for the Queen's chrysanthemum viewing banquet, she would not have gone out. At this moment, she stayed aside with the maid, with lowered eyebrows, silent, like an invisible person, in sharp contrast to the dazzling Lu Tianyun.
