"Sun Ziyang won't be able to save his life tomorrow either, what am I going to do with my official documents?" Da Ni'er sat in front of Long'er with her legs crossed, looking exactly like she was demanding a debt.
"You can approve it yourself. I approve them myself every day!"
"No, I don't care, find me another one."
"I'd like you to find me one too, this thing is giving me a headache."
"How about we run away from home?" Da Ni'er had a sudden inspiration. Let's go right now, immediately.
Long'er held the calligraphy brush in her hand, tapped Da Ni'er's head with the handle, and then said...
"The King of Zhenbei and the King of the Grasslands have both disappeared. Do you believe that Beining will be in chaos tomorrow?"
"What should I do? I really don't want to approve it."
The dark-skinned girl felt a little wronged. She never wanted to be the grassland king in the first place, and she would have run away long ago if it weren't for Huo Xiaolong.
"You have to train them yourself from a young age, you know? Like me, I trained a sharp sword from a young age, so at least it can share some of the burden."
"How about I mentor one of our classmates? Do you remember who in our county school speaks the grassland language well?"
Huo Xiaolong pursed his lips and said with a helpless expression.
"Why don't you have a child? Have a child and let him help you with the approval. If he's a genius, he should be able to do it by the age of ten. So, Dad needs to be smart, exceptionally smart."
Da Ni'er's eyes widened in surprise. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that?"
If official documents fall into someone else's hands, it's easy for them to rebel, but if you have a child, whether they rebel or not is up to them!
"Okay! I'll go find the child's father right now!"
Huo Xiaolong watched Da Ni'er's hurried departure and sneered.
You're amazing that you managed to find her. There aren't that many geniuses out there. Just let it drag on one day at a time. She'll get used to it eventually.
Since Hou Xiangxiang entered the Imperial Hospital, she has been taken care of by the Empress every day. The young girl sleeps in a side hall while the Empress reads books and drinks tea beside her.
"Aren't you going to sleep a little longer? Everyone gets up early for court." The woman said to Hou Xiangxiang.
The girl rubbed her eyes and said that she had come to the Empress's place every day to have her pulse checked. After the check, they would chat for a while until noon, and then she would be invited to stay for lunch. After lunch, she would feel sleepy and then go to sleep.
Anyway, no one else in the harem can find her even if they want to. Who can beat the Empress?
Even the aunt who served the Empress Dowager couldn't invite him.
You just asked Hou Xiangxiang to leave, and the Empress fainted right there in front of you.
"No, Your Majesty, I have to go back and write down some documents. You feel better today, and I estimate that after a period of recuperation, you will be able to give birth. Then you will have your own child. Are you happy?"
The girl's eyes were brimming with joy, but Wei Shuyi in front of her was not as happy as she had said.
The woman put down her tea, ordered the head maid to clear away the surrounding maids and eunuchs, and then sat on the bed to speak with Hou Xiangxiang.
"I'm almost forty, and having children is really difficult for me. My health isn't good to begin with, and I'm afraid of dying."
Hou Xiangxiang felt that this matter was easy to resolve; with her and her master there, there wouldn't be much of a problem.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, as long as you wish, I will ensure the safety of you and your child, and even the mother and daughter!"
Wei Shuyi sighed, tidied Hou Xiangxiang's messy hair, and whispered...
"I believe you have the ability, but I do not want to be pregnant. In your medical records, my illness is still the same as before. You can only prolong my time of suffering."
Do you understand what I mean?
The little girl seemed to have learned some palace secrets she shouldn't know. She nodded and then said...
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely do it well."
"Should we take my sister to the palace tomorrow? I heard that Lady Hou has been quite busy lately. The Ministry of Revenue has signed many maritime trade deals with her. Is Pingping being looked after at home?"
Ever since Hou Xiangxiang brought her younger sister into the palace, the Empress has been thinking about this child.
Although Xu Zheng was fine, he couldn't bear to see his sweetheart working so hard, so he assisted her with some business matters.
As a result, there were three elderly people in the family. Coincidentally, no one from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was available that day; they had all gone to the brothel. With no other option, Hou Xiangxiang could only take her younger sister to work.
She was summoned by the Empress again, but this time the young woman brought a child along in addition to her medicine chest.
Hou Pingping didn't cry or make a fuss. She looked at the woman in bright yellow in front of her from behind her sister and even smiled at her. Her drool accidentally dripped onto her sister's shoulder.
"Oh dear, look at this little thing, it even knows it's dirty. I wiped all the drool off with my sleeve."
The little girl adored this younger sister; she was young, but she already knew right from wrong.
"Pingping is very clever, Your Highness, would you like to hug her?"
The Empress had held her younger sister on New Year's Eve and seemed to like her very much. Now, Consort Wei was eagerly awaiting her return.
"good."
The Empress immediately put the pulse pillow aside, removed the nail guards one by one, and then raised her arm to hug the little bundle behind Hou Xiangxiang.
"Oh my, she's so beautiful."
The woman pressed her cheek against the little dumpling's face, and a sudden tenderness welled up inside her.
"You are not allowed to go back to the Imperial Hospital today. You stay here with your sister until you finish your shifts in the evening before going back."
Hou Xiangxiang thought about it and agreed. It wouldn't be good if her younger sister ate something random at the Imperial Hospital.
On this day, the Empress held her little dumpling and sat in the Imperial Garden, looking at the flowers with great joy. Although the scenery was the same everywhere, the flowers seemed especially radiant to her today.
"Will your mother be busy tomorrow? If she is, you can send the child to me. Go back and tell the Lady of the Marquis that you can rest assured that the dirty business in the palace will not enter my Fengyi Palace."
As Hou Xiangxiang carried her younger sister away from the palace, the Empress grabbed her hand and said these words.
The little girl looked up at the sky and stammered as she answered.
"I guess I'm not too busy."
If her mother found out she had brought her younger sister to the Imperial Hospital, she would be dead!
The little girl returned home trembling, and saw her mother with trepidation. Having no other choice, she asked...
"Mother, are you busy tomorrow? If you are, I'll take Pingping to the Empress's place. The Empress will help us take care of our little sister!"
Lady Hou was having dinner, having just finalized several major deals with the Ministry of Revenue, and was in a very good mood. Upon hearing this, the woman laughed.
"How much money do we have? Her Majesty the Empress will help us take care of the children."
"Her Majesty the Empress said she misses our Pingping."
Seeing her daughter lower her head and speak timidly, Lady Hou knew that the child had probably done something naughty again when she wasn't paying attention.
"Did you take Pingping to the palace while I was away?"
The little girl slowly backed away because she had already seen her mother put her hand into the vase containing the feather duster.
"Mother, just this once! The Empress has already spoken, and since Long'er will accompany me to her palace tomorrow, please agree!"
Lady Hou didn't understand either. Her child's head was so damaged, why did the Empress still care for him?
Has the Empress never seen any promising children?
Otherwise, how could they cherish their daughter so much?
