Lady Xue's face was ashen as she got out of the car. She threw all the shameless words she had heard from the second room into the back of her mind before reorganizing her emotions and returning to the main courtyard.

Lady Xue asked about her son's condition and dismissed her. "You're in charge of the family and have a lot of troubles. I won't be keeping you here any longer. Even if you're free, you should rest a bit. If you're too tired, your body won't be worth it."

Lady Yao excused herself, and Senior Servant Qi brought out the tea. Lady Xue accepted it. "There are still girls, and Senior Servant Mu is already old. Why do you have to go through all this trouble?"

Senior Servant Qi smiled and sat on the embroidered chair set up by the little girl, looking at her with a pained gaze. "Madame's temper is good, so you can let the servants in the second room take your anger for you. From what this old servant sees, even if Madame were to look at the two gongzis, she shouldn't take her anger to heart."

Lady Xue harrumphed. "They deserve it! I'm sick of them being shameless. Isn't the beauty in the palace surnamed Li? Now that Third Madam has forcefully gotten into a relationship, she's talking about our family's sisters! " The Third Master of the Second Branch's wife was the Li Clan. The Li Clan could be considered a large clan, but the Li Clan was just a side branch. Pui! If she was the prince's aunt, then she, Xue Wang, would be the princess' aunt!

Chang Ping Bo Xue Duan, who was leading the Ministry of Work, got off the car and went straight into the drooping flower gate to head towards the inner courtyard.

As Lady Xue was talking to Xue Ji Yun, Xue Duan stopped the girl's announcement and entered the room. "How is Ming Yun today?"

When Shan Yun saw his father, the smile on his face disappeared. He was about to get up from the bed and bow.

Xue Duanjing quickly waved his hand to stop him. "You're in good health. You don't need to use false etiquette." He then said to Lady Xue, "You too, say a word or two."

Lady Xue smiled. "As a woman, how could I stop my son from being filial?"

"You can't put it like that. It's good to be filial, but being healthy is better than being filial." In front of his eldest son, Xue Duanjing was his father, and in front of his younger son, he was his father. Unfortunately, his younger son was never able to understand his burning father's heart.

When she heard that the Emperor intended to have the Third Princess as his daughter, she laughed extremely happily. "That's great, if that's the case, then in the future when the princess gets married, our Big Sis Zhao might have a chance to leave the palace." His Majesty would certainly benefit the world when it came to the grand marriage of a princess. Since the reading partners were not maids, they had to wait until they were old enough to leave the palace before coming out.

Seeing that his son was like this, he wanted to get close to him, so he said, "How hard is it? Although I don't have much weight, it's not hard to find a person in the palace. I heard that the reading partners all live together and study the rules, so Daddy will ask around. If I can take care of you, I wouldn't mind."

Xue Xianyun thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Father."

"Look at you, there are so many sisters and sisters in the family. I didn't see you being so attentive, but it was only because Big Sis Zhao played around a few times that she was sure of it."

Ning Yun lowered his head. "Cousin sister, nice to me …" Unlike his cousins at home, who only liked to ask him for things when they saw him, Cousin Zhao didn't care about his things, but treated him well.

The Xue Clan had originally belonged to the Chang Ping Marquis Estate, but after three generations they fell a level and became the Chang Ping Manor. Xue Duanjing wasn't very capable, so he was reluctant to say the word "uncle" to outsiders.

The second wife of the Xue Clan was still alive, and the second master of the Xue Clan, Xue DuoRong, would be camping. He was currently working as a fourth-grade Grandmaster outside, making it hard to count how many times a year he worked.

In this way, only Xue Duanjing, who was standing by the side of the main house, acted in a well-behaved manner, guarding the original dignity of the house and unwilling to put down his face to manage it. However, he was the only son of the First Matriarch. He had two sons by his wife without any help from a brother, so he was very respectful to her.

As the couple slept with Xue Qiyun, he finally said to Lady Xue, "Qianyun is much better than usual. It's all because of Madam's hard work."

Lady Xue looked at her youngest son affectionately. "As a parent, who doesn't want their child to be well?" When the Old Master said this, he took it for granted. "

Xue Duan Jing opened his mouth and asked, "What about the elders, the Yao family?"

Lady Xue shook her head. She sized up his expression and slowly said, "In the end, how old are you?"

Xue Duanjing felt a little regretful that he had married his son into a young wife. He looked at his sleeping son and said, "Since Big Brother Zhao has a wife, we must find him an older one. Oh right, how old is Big Sister Zhao?"

Lady Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Just one day. Sister Zhao is the ninth birthday of the ninth month. Her mother is very sturdy, and she looks two years older than Zhao Yun. He even ate well after coming back, saying that he'll catch up to her soon."

Xue Duanjing also smiled. His son was only five years old, but he was also very impatient.

"Find out who?" Officer Zheng asked the person who came to report with a grave expression.

"His surname is Du, and his name is Du Weizhao. He said he came from Ping County."

"Alright, I understand. I'll just say that everything is fine." He slowly straightened up and waved the man off. The reading partner had long since arranged for a little girl to replace Wei Zhao. Although she didn't look like one, her name, birthdate, place of birth, and parents had all been mentioned. Unless someone had seen Wei Zhao, no one would be able to find anything else. It was just that this matter could not be kept from His Majesty.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Mr. Qian's idea of a reading partner was extremely vile. How much trouble would there be in the future?

When Wei Zhao came out of the study, the two of them ate lunch together. Then, Qing He asked, "Did you have a cousin named Xue Xueyun?"

Wei Zhao was stunned for a moment before he slowly nodded his head. His eyes were filled with doubt as he looked at Emperor Qing He.

"Hmm, there's nothing else to worry about. It's just that his family is asking if you're doing well." Do you like him? Can I let him enter the palace to accompany you? "

Wei Zhao's almond eyes were wide open as he shook his head in shock. All men in the palace were eunuchs, excluding royal father.

Emperor Qinghe hadn't expected that Wei Zhao would think this far ahead. Seeing that Wei Zhao didn't agree, he let the matter drop. The next day, he mentioned to Xue Duo that Xue Duojing was a fifth rank Prefecture official and sent him on his way.

Five hundred miles away from Yan City, Lady Xue wanted to follow her son to the capital and be with him. She was so anxious that if she wanted him to go to the capital, he would have to arrange a concubine room for her. Not to mention a concubine room for himself, he would need to be appointed for three years. But she didn't feel at ease leaving behind her youngest son. Fortunately, Big Yellow had been better looking these days, and had packed up his things for a few days before leaving to take over his duties.

In September, the weather became cooler and cooler, and Great Official Zheng personally looked around the Eastern Palace. Emperor Qin chose the second day of the ninth month, the eighth day of the tenth month, and Emperor Qing chose the second day of the ninth month.

One was Purple Bamboo, the other was Blue Bamboo. Lin mama divided the four bamboos into two groups, Purple Bamboo Class One, Red Orchid Class One, Purple Bamboo Class Three, and Red Bamboo Class Three. The reason she didn't bring the bamboo was so that she wouldn't know what Wei Zhao was up to.

Wei Zhao laid on the wide bed. The night wind was a little strong, blowing the windows to the point they were whistling. She missed home a little. Tonight's wind was like every winter night in Ping County.

After the first winter of every year, her mother would take her with her, using the dough made from corn flour to stick carefully to the cracks in the window so that the winter wind wouldn't blow into the house.

royal father told her to forget her parents and she agreed, but she didn't give up in her heart.

Mr. Qian said that in order to do as he pleased, he had to work hard enough not to let his guard down. "If the emperor is not secretive, he will lose his official position. If the official is not secretive, he will lose his official position. "That's why a gentleman can never get away with a secret." If you are unable to achieve your goal right now, then you must guard the secret in your heart and not let anyone else discover it. "

Wei Zhao had left his mother for a few months before fully understanding what a secret was. It was the pain of missing home.

In Emperor Qing He's palace, there were no longer any palace maids present. Emperor Qing He sat by his side of the bed, feeling rather lonely under the flickering candle light. Senior Official Zheng cut off the lamp wick, indicating that the eunuch should lead the eunuch to kneel on the ground with the green tokens.

Emperor Qinghe flipped one over without even looking at it, then returned it to his plate.

Wei Zhao didn't feel sleepy at all in the Hall of Excellence. Usually, at this time of year, the Du Family would start to gather eggs for her. On her birthday, not only would she be able to eat boiled eggs, she would also be able to eat a plate of scrambled eggs.

Wei Zhao sat up, and when the green bamboo on duty heard the commotion, he hurriedly asked, "Princess?" He opened the curtain and saw that she was sitting in a quilt with her hair loose. He quickly found some clothes to help her put on as he cautiously asked, "Princess, do you want some water?"

Wei Zhao held his breath, "I'm going to find royal father."

Zi Zhu turned on the lamp and dressed himself in his own clothes before carefully persuading, "It's too late today. Princess, why don't you take a rest first. I will see His Majesty tomorrow morning."

Wei Zhao lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes covering his eyes. He slid his legs off the bed, and Zi Zhu hurriedly squatted down to help her put on her shoes.

When Guard Zhou Zixuan heard the commotion, he immediately waited outside the hall. Green Bamboo had come out to speak, and Guard Zhou had listened attentively. In the end, he said, "It's already dark, why don't I call my guards over to carry my shoulders. It's always safer."

Lin mama also rose to her feet. Then he said, "I'll have to trouble you so much."

Wei Zhao stepped out to ascend to the throne. Lin mama walked to her left, and Green Bamboo walked to her right. The group majestically headed towards the emperor's sleeping quarters.

Emperor Qing He hesitated for a moment before asking, "Whose plate did I just flip?"

He was about to answer when he heard a report from outside, "The princess requests an audience."

The master and the servant within the palace all suspected that they were hearing things.

However, this was nothing. Wei Zhao had already stepped over the high threshold and entered.
