Chapter 173 Returning to the Palace (shuhaige.net)



"Happy," Wei Yingling said, taking a small sip.

"I'm happy, Mother Empress." Wei Yingzhen also smiled.

"As long as you're happy. Today isn't a holiday, and there's a curfew tonight. Next time during the Lantern Festival, your father and I will show you what Kyoto looks like at night."

After this day, Wei Wangqing felt that she really should take some time to take the children out more often.

Even though you might encounter some unpleasant things from time to time, overall there are more benefits than drawbacks.

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Ling'er couldn't wait.

“Let’s bring my sister with us next time,” Hazel said.

Ling'er suddenly felt a little guilty. She had completely forgotten about her younger sister. Could it be that her sister didn't like him anymore?

Xiao Ling'er felt a little disappointed, wondering if he would be upset that she didn't take him out to play.

Wei Wangqing thought for a moment, then said, "Okay."

We can just bring more people; it'll be like a family together.

Not long after, Wei Wangqing and the other three returned to the palace.

Upon entering Fengwu Palace, I saw Xin'er alone, tearing the house apart.

Of course, saying it's "destroying the house" might not be accurate; it's more like someone is lying on the bed, dragging the blankets around in a terrible state, making a complete mess of the bed.

Her small body carried them on her back, arching and swaying.

Wei Wangqing found it somewhat amusing and called out, "Xin'er."

The little dumpling turned around instantly, grinning from ear to ear, "Your Majesty."

Little Ling'er ran over and hugged her little sister. "Little sister, little sister, I'm sorry, Ling'er forgot about you."

Xiao Xiao didn't understand what her brother meant, and kept waving her little hands.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling'er felt even more guilty.

Wei Wangqing didn't expect Ling'er to care so much about this. "Ling'er, it's okay. Next time we'll take your sister out with us. Besides, we brought her toys."

"Mm." Xiao Ling'er nodded heavily, finally putting the matter aside.

Next time, he will definitely not forget his sister.

Xiaoxin was very happy to get her new toy and kept shaking the rattle.

Wei Wangqing watched all this with great satisfaction, but then, with a loud 'bang', something happened.

Then I saw her youngest daughter banging a rattle drum hard on the ground. This child, she's just playing around and throwing sand everywhere.

Wei Wangqing snatched the rattle drum away, "You can't do that."

Wei Wangqing discovered that his daughter had an extremely strong destructive tendency; why did she like to destroy things so much?

Both she and Ayan are very careful with their belongings.

Xiaoxin didn't care that her mother had taken the rattle drum away, and picked up the cloth tiger next to her to play with it.

Xiao Ling'er clapped her hands happily, "The toy my little sister picked is the one I chose, and she likes it very much."

He knew that his sister must like tigers.

As a result, Xiaoxin'er picked up the cloth tiger and stuffed it into her mouth, biting it fiercely.

Xiao Ling'er's smile froze.

My God, Wei Wangqing felt like his head was about to explode.

I've returned to the fear of being dominated by Xiao Ling'er, no, it's even worse.

Xiao Xiao'er's destructive power is truly overwhelming; no one can match it!

"Let go quickly, Xin'er, be good, let go of her mouth." Chen Zhiyan patted Xin'er's hand, not daring to pull hard, afraid of breaking the child's teeth.

Fortunately, Xin'er is very obedient; she let go of her mouth as soon as the adults told her to.

Wei Wangqing quickly took the cloth tiger and taught Xin'er, "You can't put everything in your mouth, it's very dirty."

Xiao Ling'er chimed in, "It's dirty, we can't eat it."

Xiaoxin'er nodded in agreement, "Zhang, Zhang."

I don't know if I understood.

Wei Wangqing was truly helpless. In an instant, she felt that having these three children was enough, and thankfully she also had an easy-going eldest son.

She really couldn't handle any more.

Thinking about it, he patted Hazel's head.

Hazel looked at her mother with a puzzled expression.

Well, her eldest son is too smart, and she's always the one being looked down upon.

Wei Wangqing felt mentally exhausted and needed to recharge.

"Let's go have dinner."

After the meal, their family's regular storytelling program began.

This time, the children all fell asleep shortly after the story was told.

Wei Wangqing and Chen Zhiyan then quietly left.

Everyone must have been exhausted after a long day of shopping.

As a result, the whole family slept exceptionally well that night.

The next day, morning.

Wei Wangqing has made a new move: cracking down on human slave traders.

Perhaps this isn't a complete statement; it's more accurate to say that human trafficking is prohibited through brokerage firms, but they can act as intermediaries providing workers and charge a fee.

Although many ministers would buy servants from brokers, this matter really had nothing to do with them.

The ministers were still wondering why His Majesty had suddenly decided to crack down on human slave traders.

Such matters should normally have nothing to do with His Majesty.

But no one objected, after all, the courtiers were immune to it, and His Majesty could do whatever he wanted.

Anyway, His Majesty is not a foolish ruler, and what he does is all good for the country and the people, so what can they possibly do to stop him?

Let His Majesty do what he wants.

But only the Prefect of Kyoto felt a pang of unease, recalling the report the soldiers had given him the day before.

That token was something only the emperor's close guards possessed, and she had her suspicions at the time, but she couldn't confirm it.

After all, who would have thought His Majesty would secretly leave the palace?

Even now, I doubt many people would know.

She was just unlucky, but she hated those two slave traders so much that she would never let them get away with it.

She actually bumped into His Majesty and even tried to sow discord between her and others.

This incident happened within her jurisdiction, and she cannot escape responsibility for it no matter what.

Now she's terrified of losing her official position; how could the emperor personally arrest criminals for her?

Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Wei Wangqing, however, didn't think about any of that. She just felt a little uncomfortable that no one objected.

Then he added, “Human trafficking is absolutely prohibited, including for you. You must never commit this crime. If you are caught, you will spend the rest of your life in prison.”

"A corresponding reward mechanism will be set up for this matter. There will be a reward for the public to report. As long as you find that the child is not right, you must report it to the authorities. Once it is verified that it is indeed human trafficking, a certain reward will be given."

She couldn't see things comprehensively, so she could only solve them in this way.

Therefore, as long as she sees it, she will try her best to improve it.

I just hope that things will change little by little and that Great Wei will become better.

Many ministers couldn't help but think that His Majesty truly loved his people like his own children.

They really think things through very comprehensively, and they genuinely care about ordinary people.

Having such an emperor is perhaps truly a blessing for the people of Wei.

"This matter will be handled by the Ministry of Revenue."

"Yes." The Minister of Revenue stepped forward to receive the order.

After the court session, everyone got busy again.

Wei Wangqing handed the matter over to these ministers and then left it to her own business.

Ask her what she should do?

Of course, it's about spending time with my husband and kids.

Recently, the children have been learning martial arts from Li Nuo, and Wei Wangqing and Chen Zhiyan have also been practicing with him.
