Chapter 67 After Marriage
Wu Keshan subconsciously turned around and looked at his daughter.
Galo, on the other hand, had no idea why the emperor was after him.
The sunlight in the courtyard slowly slanted westward, and the sky was tinged with a frosty white.
Fu Lin went first into the courtyard to the table and chairs where some food had been laid out.
Galo and the Prince followed closely behind. Fulin sat down casually, and the two of them took their seats as well.
"It's been a long time since I've tasted the flavor of Khorchin beef."
Fu Lin casually picked up the silver chopsticks that were originally in front of Galo.
Galo, who was sitting to the side, saw this and quickly said, "Your Majesty, this is your concubine..."
Before she could finish speaking, she saw the man casually pick up a piece of beef with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The three sat at a table, with his Abu sitting next to him. Galo felt inexplicably embarrassed by Fulin's sudden action.
She nervously clutched the embroidered handkerchief, glancing quickly at Abu.
Abu's expression was not as solemn as before. Although he did not smile, there was a hint of relief in his eyes.
Galo was taken aback, but because of Abu's expression, the unease he felt in his heart lessened somewhat.
"The beef from Khorchin is the most tender. Xinsa Ri loves the beef that Chen cooks himself. She also likes all kinds of snacks and candies from the south. She even likes the square characters that the tribesmen can't understand. She even loves them."
“My youngest daughter has been pampered since she was little, but she is the most polite and well-behaved child.”
The shadows of the trees swayed gently, occasionally accompanied by a rustling sound.
When Galo heard Abu say that, it felt like a small piece of candy had been placed in his heart, slowly melting and spreading sweetness throughout his soul.
Fu Lin did not speak. He ate some more beef and even drank some milk wine before slowly saying, "Parents who love their children plan far ahead for them."
“Every word the Grand Tutor uttered was filled with affection for Galo.”
"And I am also grateful that you raised the Empress so well."
“But dragons have nine sons, and each son is different. This matter concerning Angrama is not solely her fault. I have come here tonight to tell you in person that you need not worry about Galo.”
"You can return to Khorchin with peace of mind. As the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, Galo is different from the women in the inner chambers, but she is still the mother of the nation, and is naturally noble, free and joyful."
Although Fu Lin's tone was simple, the meaning in Chinese was of immense weight.
Wu Keshan's expression changed slightly, but he slowly returned to normal.
Galo understood why Abu was so shocked. Fulin's words meant that between the Empress Dowager and Galo, Fulin would definitely protect Galo.
A slight stirring ran through her heart. She turned her body slightly to the side, lowered her head, and adopted a somewhat shy expression.
She remained quiet, but her cheeks were flushed, while Wu Keshan and Fulin looked like father-in-law and son-in-law.
"Your Majesty, I am grateful for your great favor."
Fu Lin smiled, picked up the mare's milk wine, and tilted it slightly forward.
Wu Keshan was taken aback, then suddenly smiled. He raised the mare's milk wine, offered it to Wu, and drank it.
At this point, Fu Lin stood up, glanced at Jia Luo, and said to Wu Keshan with a smile, "Jialuo came to see me in a hurry today, saying that she wanted to see you off. It is a rare time for father and daughter to spend together, but I have come to bother you."
Wu Keshan and Jialuo quickly stood up, about to bow and speak.
But Fulin waved his hand, exempting the two from bowing, and then glanced at Jialuo before saying, "I'll be leaving now."
Wu Keshan and Jialu hurriedly saw him off for a few steps, but Fulin told them not to. Then, just as suddenly as he had come, he abruptly left.
