The emperor was quite speechless and asked Liu Yi to let those people in. The court officials tried to please Wei Fu, and he felt that this was something that made him happy. After all, who doesn't want their children to be liked?
At the same time, he felt that these ministers of his own were really two-faced.
When facing him in the court, when one or two of them opposed some things, when they wanted him to disband the harem, and when they asked him to choose a concubine, he was unyielding.
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but feel some resentment towards these ministers, so when these ministers came in with the articles, they saw the emperor looking at them sinisterly.
Their knees went weak and they knelt down, unable to straighten their backs when thinking about what they were asking for!
Asking the princess to look after their house seemed against the rules and seemed to be a lack of respect for their superiors. But if they didn't let the princess look after their house, they would be worried!
So after paying their respects to the emperor, several ministers shamelessly presented their articles and begged the emperor to let Wei Fu go and help them take a look.
The emperor said unhappily, "You are asking for Fu'er, so you should ask Fu'er if she is willing, not me!"
The ministers felt a little disappointed, thinking that the emperor was rejecting them. Wei Fu, a little girl, was probably just playing around, but he was already here.
So, an old minister with thinning white hair shamelessly tried to soften his voice and force a smile that he thought wouldn't scare the child. "My dear princess, I feel that the situation in my family is somewhat similar to that of the Shu family, and the women in my family often go to Dayan Temple. Therefore, I would like to ask you to visit my home to see if there is any problem. I wonder if you would be able to do so?"
Wei Fu borrowed her uncle's hand and looked at the article in his hand. However, because she was not well educated and could not read many words, she could not understand what the article meant. But because they said it was an article praising her, she asked, "Which article did you write?"
The old minister quickly said, "The article I wrote is placed fourth."
The emperor picked out the article and gave it to Wei Fu. Wei Fu said, "Fu'er, there are many characters that I don't recognize. Please read it in plain language so that Fu'er can hear it."
Children all like to be praised. Wei Fu looked at the old minister with sparkling eyes, full of anticipation.
Since you are praising Fu'er, even if your smile is a little ugly, Fu'er can tolerate it.
Old Minister: “…”
I didn’t expect that after traveling for half my life, I would still have to recite articles in public when I returned?
Moreover, reciting the article would be fine, but he felt that... speaking it in plain words would be too embarrassing!
This old fox in the officialdom was completely upset by Wei Fu's request. But they had something to ask for, and since Wei Fu asked for it, they couldn't refuse. The old minister could only bite the bullet and pretend to be sincere, and began to praise Wei Fu in plain words.
The emperor looked at the old minister's wonderful expression and felt inexplicably happy. He grabbed his little niece's hand and poked it, thinking that his daughter was indeed a caring little cotton-padded jacket!
Just avenge him directly.
The old minister's article was actually not as good as those written by Shu Han and others, and because he did not know Wei Fu, the whole article was just awkward praise. However, those who were in officialdom were all really capable. Although the praise was awkward and not very appropriate, the words he chose were excellent, so Wei Fu was still very happy to hear it.
So she said with a smile: "Okay, Fu'er will go with you to your house to help you take a look."
The old man, who had felt embarrassed before, suddenly became happy and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, Princess."
Seeing that the old man had succeeded, the others no longer cared about their face and followed suit, reciting their articles in plain language to Wei Fu.
Wei Fu thought these people were amazing. It was also the first time that he deeply realized that there were so many words to praise people. These ministers used the same words to praise her, and Wei Fu was shocked to hear that.
In fact, these people did not communicate with each other when they wrote the articles before, but the people in front read out their own articles, and the people behind them naturally could not repeat the words used by the people in front. This is the insistence of the writers.
So what Wei Fu heard were completely different kinds of compliments.
After hearing so much praise, the little girl was so beautiful that she felt like she could grow a pair of wings and fly to the sky. She said generously: "Your Fu'er can go, but there is only one Fu'er, so she definitely can't go to all of your homes at the same time, so there has to be a first-come-first-served order. Just follow the order in which we just read the article, okay!"
In fact, Wei Fu is very easy to talk to. As long as someone has a good attitude and she doesn't dislikes them, she will go to help them.
Even if these people didn't bring any articles, since they did and were praising her, Wei Fu felt that if she didn't listen, she would be letting down the people who wrote the articles.
The adults were very happy to hear that Wei Fu agreed.
There was no reason for her to refuse. Wei Fu now only had to learn one rule every day, which was eating, drinking, sleeping and playing. She had already learned today's rules, so she said a word to the emperor and jumped up and down to follow the old man who had come from the beginning to his house.
The old man looked at his father's lively appearance and couldn't help but smile.
The old man was the Minister of Rites, a second-rank official. He lived in the inner city, not far from the imperial palace. When Wei helped him get off the carriage, his brows furrowed.
He asked, "Little Princess, is there something wrong with this old minister's mansion?"
Wei Fu nodded.
But she didn't say anything and just strode in with her small feet.
The old man hurried to catch up. Wei Fu didn't want the old minister to lead the way, so he went straight to a house. The house was uninhabited and the gate was locked.
It looked like no one had lived there for many years.
With the old man following him, no one stopped Wei Fu from breaking into the backyard.
But it alarmed many people.
Among the onlookers, some saw Wei Fu standing at the gate of the yard and silently left the crowd.
At this moment, everyone was focused on looking at Wei Fu, so no one noticed.
Wei Fu pointed at the door and wanted to say something, but suddenly remembered that she didn't know the other person's name. She asked, "What's your last name?"
The old minister quickly said, "My surname is Rong."
"Lord Rong, can you ask someone to open this door?" Although she could kick it open, what if she broke the door and these people asked her for compensation?
Lord Rong quickly asked someone to open the door.
There was a dry well in the yard. Wei Fu walked up to it and said to Lord Rong, "Please send a brave and energetic person to go down into the well and get the contents out!"
Lord Rong hurriedly gave another order, and then couldn't help asking, "Princess, is there anything in this well?"
