The Queen Mother was also somewhat shocked. Giving Tao Zhi some snacks was normal, but giving Lin Xu so many valuables was unusual. The gold nuggets were convenient for giving as rewards, the large-denomination silver notes were convenient for other things, and the pink pearls that little girls loved and Wei Fu's favorite treat were also very thoughtful.
"Tingyu, help the little princess pack these things up."
Wei Fu lay on top of the gifts, shaking his head and saying, "Fu'er, put them away yourself. You don't need Sister Tingyu's help."
Tingyu helplessly reminded for the umpteenth time: "Princess, you can just call me Tingyu. I don't deserve to be called sister."
The Queen Mother waved her hand indulgently and said, "As long as Fu'er likes it, that's fine."
Since the Queen Mother had said so, Tingyu had nothing more to say.
Wei Fu had no servants around him, and the empress dowager wanted to match her with someone according to the specifications of a princess. Wei Fu was unwilling to accept it, and the empress dowager did not force him. Seeing that Wei Fu did not reject Tingyu and Eunuch Li, she gave Tingyu and Eunuch Li to Wei Fu.
Wei Fu did not immediately put away the things Lin Xu and Tao Zhi gave her, but took those things to see Princess Yahe.
Princess Yahe was able to walk before only with the help of Wei Fu's talisman and her own willpower. She had been seriously injured, so she was still bedridden for several days after returning to the palace. The wounds on her face looked even more terrifying because they had begun to scab over, and she had completely lost her former beauty.
Wei Fu lay beside the bed and talked to Princess Yahe with concern. He also asked Princess Yahe what she had eaten in the morning and whether she was full. Then he happily shared with Princess Yahe the things that one of her senior brothers and one of her junior brothers had given her when they visited her today, and also fed Princess Yahe a piece of cake.
Princess Yahe knew yesterday that Tao Zhi was Wei Fu's junior fellow apprentice. Now she was shocked to know that Prime Minister Lin Xu was actually Wei Fu's senior brother.
She felt very complicated when she looked at her daughter's fair face. She was such a good daughter, but she had never participated in her growth. Those five years were blank to her.
She did not regret sending Wei Fu away, but she regretted marrying the Marquis of Zhenbei and her cowardice.
She called Jin Chan over and asked her, "Have you collected all my dowry?"
Jin Chan said with relief, "They have all been taken back. The Emperor even gave all the belongings that were confiscated from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to the princess."
She raised her hand with some effort and touched Wei Fu's soft hair: "Go get some good materials to make some clothes and jewelry for Fu'er."
Jin Chan took the order and made arrangements.
After Wei Fu entered the palace, the empress dowager immediately asked someone to prepare clothes for him. Previously, when the empress dowager saw Wei Fu wearing the washed-out Taoist robe, she felt so distressed.
So Wei Fu is well dressed now, but there is no mother who doesn't like to make clothes for her daughter.
The rumors outside eventually reached the palace, and the first person to know about it was the emperor. When the emperor heard the vicious rumors that secretly accused Wei Fu of being a traitor, he was furious and immediately ordered people to investigate who spread these rumors.
He also instructed the people in the palace to be more careful and not to pass on this news to the Queen Mother and others, for fear that the Queen Mother and others would be angry and something bad would happen.
The palace kept the secret well, but the queen, who was recuperating outside the palace due to poor health, heard the rumors and immediately took the prince back to the palace.
Wei Fu, who knew nothing yet, had breakfast and talked with Princess Yahe for a while. Seeing that she was full of energy, the Queen Mother asked Tingyu to take her to the Imperial Garden to play.
Wei Fu was a person who couldn't sit still. She used to run around the mountains with her master. When she heard that she could go out and play, she was naturally happy. She took Tingyu's hand and ran away.
Eunuch Li hurriedly followed, shouting, "Princess, Princess, please slow down, don't fall~~~"
Wei Fu, who grew up in the mountains and had only seen wild grasses and flowers, found the exquisite flowers, plants, rockery and pavilions in the palace very novel and he couldn't stop looking at them.
Especially when he saw a flower with two colors on it, he asked in surprise: "Sister Tingyu, what kind of flower is this? Why is it half purple and half pink?"
Tingyu replied with a friendly smile, "My Lady, this is Erqiao, also known as Luoyang Brocade, a type of peony."
Wei Fu sniffed: "This is very expensive!"
"Yes, and this is not something you can buy with money."
"Is this a pine tree? Why does it look like half a fan?"
"This fish looks so good, can I eat it?"
Wei Fu asked a series of questions which made Tingyu feel a little dizzy but she managed to stay calm and patiently answer Wei Fu's questions.
Although the little princess had many problems, Tingyu felt that she was slightly easier to take care of than the Sixth Prince, who would make a scene if he disagreed with something.
Moreover, the Sixth Prince is two years older than Wei Fu, and he is the type that can overturn the roof if he makes a fuss.
Tingyu took Wei Fu to play for a while. When the sun came out, Wei Fu's nose was covered with beads of sweat. He said softly, "Princess, it's getting hot now. Let's go back and play!"
Wei Fu nodded obediently, took Tingyu's hand and walked back, saying to Tingyu, "I'm going to come out and feed the fish tomorrow."
"You must be Fu'er, you look so cute and lovely."
Tingyu immediately bowed upon hearing the voice: "Your servant greets Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort."
Then someone softly introduced Wei Fu: "Princess, this is Consort De."
Wei Fu asked doubtfully, "What is Empress Defei?"
This question stumped Tingyu, but Concubine De smiled and said, "I am the concubine of your uncle."
Wei Fu frowned and became more confused: "What is the emperor's uncle's concubine?" She felt that she had heard many strange names since she came down from the mountain.
"Oh, I get it!" Her eyes suddenly lit up. "Everyone calls my grandmother the Empress Dowager, and just now Tingyu called you the Virtuous Consort. You both have the word 'Niangniang' after you. Are you my uncle's godmother or aunt?"
It is definitely impossible that she is the biological mother. A person can only have one biological mother. She knew that her uncle and her mother were both born to her grandmother.
After she finished speaking, she still felt that she was very smart, and looked at Concubine De smugly, with a proud look as if saying: I guessed it, come and praise me.
Listening to the rain, I felt like a thousand horses were galloping in my heart.
Empress Defei also felt that her good qualities were about to be shaken away by Wei Fu's words.
But I still had to bite my teeth and explain: "I am not your royal uncle's godmother or aunt, I am your royal uncle's woman."
"A concubine?" Wei Fu blurted out
Eunuch Li could no longer hold back and cried out, "My little princess, you shouldn't say that."
