Wei Fu had been a celebrity since returning to the capital. After all, the child who had died immediately went home to complain about his father, and then had his father killed. Add to that the subsequent actions of Madam Zeng, the married women of the Zhenbei Marquisate, and the Emperor's behind-the-scenes manipulation, and her reputation was even more resounding. It was hard for the court officials not to pay attention to such a girl.
After all, this is the person who can make the emperor take action.
With this attention, many people knew about Liao Qing buying talismans from Wei Fushou.
The old man also wanted to ask Wei Fu to buy one. As long as he is not greedy, one is enough o(╥﹏╥)o.
Although not everyone has an unlucky son like the old man, everyone wants a talisman. Isn’t it better to have an extra life?
So the adults behind him were not to be outdone and rushed forward to surround him. Wei Fu was completely flattered and looked at these adults with wide eyes in surprise. They were all so enthusiastic and their words were so pleasant to the ears.
She couldn't help but let a big smile appear on her face.
She was pretty, and she looked even prettier when she smiled. Originally, most of these people's words were flattery, but now they seemed more sincere.
Tao Zhi: Shameless, so shameless!
Seeing that there was still an adult beside him who hadn't rushed forward, Tao Zhi said with emotion and relief: "Master Tan is still steady and decent, but..." He hadn't finished speaking when he stopped in time because he saw Censor Tan pull out a box from his sleeve pocket. He seemed to be strolling leisurely, but in fact he cleverly squeezed into the encirclement. Then he raised the box in his hand, opened it, and handed it to Wei Fu: "I heard that the little princess likes to eat delicious food. This is the peanut candy made by my wife. It's the most delicious."
The sweet and fragrant candy stood out amid the flattering voices, and everyone, including the emperor and the prince, looked at Censor Tan: I didn’t expect you to be such a Censor Tan.
Censor Tan stared at everyone, his gaze still unmoved, his expression unchanged.
Wei Fu, overjoyed by the praise, licked the corner of his mouth and stretched out his little hand to take it, but stopped halfway, turned his head to look at the emperor, and asked in a low and sweet voice: "Uncle, can Fu'er take it?"
The emperor said with a forced smile, "Yes."
"It's said that Lord Tan, even at his old age, loves sweets so much that his teeth have decayed. To prevent Lord Tan from suffering from toothache, Madam Tan went out of her way to learn how to make peanut candy, which has a lower sugar content."
Censor Tan smiled calmly and continued, "Yes, so this candy of mine is very suitable for children like the little princess. You don't have to worry about getting cavities after eating it."
I didn't feel like I was being mocked by the emperor at all.
Wei Fuke didn't understand that his uncle was being sarcastic, and sighed, "Your Madam is truly a good wife."
The Emperor: “…” The little fellow with his elbows sticking out.
After Wei Fu took the candy, the emperor carried Wei Fu inside and looked at these ministers who were so angry. "What do you want to do by flattering my little princess so much?"
Lord Tan was just about to say something polite: It's just that the princess is cute.
But before he could even begin to exchange pleasantries, the old man who had rushed over initially sank to his knees and explained his son's situation. "I, your Highness, simply wish to inquire if the Princess has any extra talismans. Would you mind selling one to me?"
Although he wanted it very much, he did not force the sale, so Wei Fu did not dislike him and felt quite sympathetic. He said generously: "Let me sell it to you!"
The old man cried with joy.
His son was a man of great learning and talent, but he was unlucky. When he was young, he always encountered bad things when he went out, but they were all minor things and did not affect his going out. Every time he took an exam, he would have health problems or be harmed by others.
But now, I dare not even go out, and when I stay at home, disasters often happen.
The emperor knew the situation at the old man's home. In the past, he simply thought that this man was too unlucky, but now he suddenly remembered those harmful talismans.
Wei Fu saw that the other adults were also looking at her eagerly, so he asked, "Do you want to buy it too?"
Everyone nodded.
Wei Fu immediately shouted, "Junior Brother Taozi, come here quickly." She didn't know how much the order should be!
Tao Zhi, who was stuck at the back, finally felt proud when he saw everyone making way for him. He walked forward through the crowd with his head held high. Wei Fu slipped out of the emperor's arms, took Tao Zhi's hand and went behind the screen to whisper.
The ministers were all surprised when they saw this.
Liu Yi looked at his nose with his eyes and then at his heart with his nose, indicating that he could not see.
Rules and such are set for others, not for the little princess.
Isn't it said that the uncle is the closest? The emperor treats the little princess as his own daughter.
The emperor felt that he also had something private to say to Wei Fu, so he also went behind the screen.
The prince: “…”
The three of them chattered for a while before coming out. The emperor held Wei Fu in his arms and sat upright again. Wei Fu said softly, "Because you are all my uncle's subjects and are here to help me, I'll give you a discount. Just one thousand two hundred taels of silver per amulet."
Although this was slightly higher than the price they had heard about, it was not expensive at all. Those fraudulent Taoist priests would ask for hundreds of taels at a time, and even the talisman drawn by Master Wuji of Dayan Temple was extremely expensive. So the ministers said sincerely, "Thank you, little princess."
Wei Fu quickly counted out eight talismans. She now had a rich stock because she had taken the time to draw some more yesterday.
She slipped out of the emperor's arms and handed each of the adults a piece of paper: "If you have enough cash, give it to Tingyu. If not, just have someone deliver it to you after you leave the palace."
Those who had money immediately paid, and those who had no money promised to arrange for someone to send the money as soon as they left the palace.
The old man who was the first to ask for the talisman discovered that the little princess had left him out, and he couldn't help but get anxious.
The emperor said, "Master Shu, please be patient. Your family's situation is special. I suspect there is something strange going on, so I thought of letting Fu'er go with you to your house later."
Old... Lord Shu had never expected such a favor and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Princess. I am deeply grateful for your kindness..."
The emperor interrupted him and said, "Alright, if you have anything to say, please tell me first. After that, take Fu'er and leave the palace!"
He glanced at Tao Zhi and said, "Take Fu'er with you. Once the matter is settled, send Fu'er back."
Tao Zhi bowed and accepted the order.
He had nothing to report, so after Lord Shu reported the matter, he took Wei Fu from the emperor's arms as he wished and followed Lord Shu to his home.
On the way there, Wei Fu had nothing to do, so he went to talk to Lord Shu: "Lord, has your son been unlucky since he was born, or did he start to be unlucky at some point?"
Some people are unlucky because they are victims of misfortune, but some people are simply born unlucky.
