Qin Youran was still performing the salute. The young eunuch standing not far away secretly glanced at Qin Youran and thought to himself, the King of Qin is indeed not favored by His Majesty. He waited outside the hall for nearly an hour before His Majesty summoned him. The King of Qin bowed, but His Majesty did not let him get up.
Among all the kings, the King of Qin was the first to be in such a situation.
Finally, Zhao Zixu asked Qin Youran to stand up.
Qin Youran said thank you to His Majesty in a nonchalant manner.
Zhao Zixu asked about the situation in the epidemic area, and Qin Youran reported one by one.
After Qin Youran finished her report, Zhao Zixu dismissed her from the palace. Qin Youran had paid for some of the medicine and food used to treat the epidemic, and he had wanted to ask His Majesty for reimbursement, but the emperor had already dismissed him, so he had no choice but to leave. He decided to submit a petition for reimbursement.
Qin Youran turned and walked towards the palace gate. Zhao Zixu raised his eyelids and glanced at her calmly, but he was thinking in his heart:
King Qin, I was right about you. If you can treat the people well today, you will be able to treat your brothers well in the future.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Don't let me down.
…
In the evening, Ye Zelin, who was trapped in the Kong family's private school, finally returned to the General's Mansion. He first went to Rongliyuan to pay his respects to his parents, and then returned to Guanju Pavilion.
As a junior, Ye Zelin should pay his respects to his elders. From the time he returned to the General's Mansion and then to Guanju Pavilion, he never thought of going to Feiyuan to pay his respects to his grandfather. Even though Madam Ouyang told him to, he did not go to Feiyuan.
Side carried his bookcase and followed Ye Zelin. As he entered the room, he saw Hua Fushu napping on the couch. She was dressed in a snow-blue dress, leaning sideways, her back resting on a soft pillow. As he approached, the dim candlelight shone on her pretty face, a quiet beauty in her.
He squatted on one knee, looking at Hua Fushu's peaceful sleeping face, and suddenly had a naughty idea. He blew gently at Hua Fushu a few times.
Hua Fushu frowned slightly, feeling a little cold on her face. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a blurry figure in front of her. She blinked twice before she could see clearly who was in front of her.
"You're back?" Hua Fushu sat up and looked at Ye Zelin.
Ye Zelin also stood up and sat on the edge of the wooden couch. He said, "Just got back."
Hua Fushu asked, "Did you go to see your father and mother?"
Ye Zelin answered her: "Yes. I didn't go to Feiyuan."
Hua Fushu said, "I didn't go either. I was very tired, so I took a bath and rested."
Ye Zelin suddenly put his arm around Hua Fushu's waist and pulled her into his arms. "I missed you. Let me hold you for a while."
Hua Fushu didn't move obediently and let Ye Zelin hold her. Didn't she miss him too?
"I miss you too, day and night."
After the two of them were together for a while, Cuizhi from Rongliyuan came to Guanju Pavilion and said that Madam Ouyang had set up a table to prepare food for the second young master and asked them to have dinner at Rongliyuan.
When they arrived at Rongliyuan, everyone was there except the people from Feiyuan and Dugu Lanxi who was pregnant.
Ye Shiheng originally wanted to invite the old general over, but when he remembered that the old man disliked his son and daughter-in-law, he gave up.
Ruhuan's favorite brother is Ye Zelin. She hasn't seen him for a long time and has a lot to say. She kept talking to Ye Zelin for a long time until her mother, Mrs. Ouyang, said it was time for dinner. Then she stopped talking.
At the dinner table, Ye Shiheng, Ye Yunlu, and Ye Zelin, father and son, were drinking and chatting happily. Hua Fushu told Ye Zelin not to drink too much.
Madam Ouyang said to her, "Don't worry, Lin'er knows his limits. His father and elder brother won't get him drunk."
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "I'm just worried that Ze Lin will get drunk."
The meal was a pleasant one, but things were a little unhappy at Feiyuan.
Ever since the old general learned that Ye Zelin was trapped in the epidemic area, although he disliked his grandson, he still missed him a little. Madam Ouyang held a welcoming banquet, and Ye Shiheng didn't invite him to attend. Ye Zelin returned to the general's mansion and didn't even come to Feiyuan to pay his respects. He really didn't take his grandfather seriously.
He called Nanny Zhou and asked her to go to Guanju Pavilion to call over Ye Zelin's unfilial grandson.
When Ye Zelin and his wife returned to Guanju Pavilion, Nanny Zhou had been waiting for a long time. As soon as she saw Ye Zelin, she told him what the old general meant.
Ye Zelin heard it but pretended not to hear. His grandfather must have wanted to see him about the imperial examination. He said to Madam Zhou, "Madam, I respect you. You've come to pass on a message that I should go with you. You know how my grandfather treats me every time. So, I won't go this time. Please tell my grandfather that I, Ye Zelin, would rather die than surrender."
Nanny Zhou knew that the old general and the second young master had been entangled for a long time over the imperial examination. When the old general asked her to come to Guanju Pavilion, he said that he asked the second young master to come over to ask about his recent situation.
She said, "Second Young Master, you must have misunderstood the old general's intentions. The old general is concerned about you."
Ye Zelin said calmly, "Madam Zhou, please go back. I won't go to Feiyuan. I don't need my grandfather's concern."
Ye Zelin stood up, ready to change clothes and wash up, and said to Hua Fushu, "Fushu, take Madam back."
Ye Zelin directly expressed his intention not to go to Feiyuan. Every time the old general met Ye Zelin, Ye Zelin suffered losses and was wronged. Hua Fushu naturally would not persuade him to go to Feiyuan.
Hua Fushu nodded, "Just do what you need to do. I'll send Nanny Zhou off for you."
As soon as Ye Zelin left, Hua Fushu said, "Madam Zhou, you heard it too. My husband doesn't want to go. Let me take you back."
Nanny Zhou looked at Hua Fushu with a cold look in her old eyes. "Second Madam, the old general wants to invite you, but if the second young master doesn't go, you are not trying to persuade him at all."
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "Persuade him to suffer the consequences?"
Madam Zhou's tone was quite accusatory: "Why do you speak like that, Madam?"
Hua Fushu spread his hands and said, "Isn't what I said the truth?"
Nanny Zhou was speechless and choked with emotion.
Hua Fushu said, "Madam, please let me take you there."
Madam Zhou said, "No need, my lady, just take a good rest."
Ye Zelin didn't want to go, and Hua Fushu refused to persuade her, so Nanny Zhou had no choice but to give up. She returned to Feiyuan and explained the situation to the old general, who said nothing and sent Nanny Zhou away.
After Ye Zelin washed up, Hua Fushu talked to him about the old general asking him to go to Feiyuan.
Ye Zelin smiled and said, "Grandfather is simply trying to stop me from trying. I've already made my stance clear to him, and he can't stop me even if he wants to. Don't think that when Madam Zhou says that Grandfather cares about me, he really does. That's just an excuse. Grandfather hates me to the core, how could he care about me? If I hadn't been so lucky, I would have died under that red bean cake."
Hua Fushu hugged his neck from behind, feeling a little distressed for him, "From now on, I will be with you. No matter what you do, I will support you."
Ye Zelin held her delicate hand, looking at her sideways, "Having you by my side is the greatest fortune of my life."
The next day, Hua Fushu rushed to Taipingfang and met Qin Youran on the road.
