Chapter 43

The following day, He Yunhao, the second-ranking general, and A Marquis, arrived home on horseback after leaving the morning court.

He Yunxiao was waiting at the door early, standing upright on the doorstep.

When He Yuanhao got off his horse, he immediately ran to his old man with a big smile on his face.

Father, are you going to court tomorrow?

He Yuanhao dusted himself off and took the usual big steps of a martial artist towards the House.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

Go.

He Yunxiao immediately trotted to follow.

After the court, will you still go down?

Down.

After the court, going home for dinner?

He Yuanhao stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at He Yunxiao, who was all smiles.

You brat, youre nagging so much today, what bad ideas are you up to again?

Father, what are you talking about? When did I, He Yunxiao, ever do anything bad?

He Yuanhao was exasperated and snorted.

When have you ever done anything bad? The fact that you can lie at home and not go anywhere is a good deed for the people of Yinjing.

He Yunxiao patted his chest, and assured him, Yesterday, I didnt do a single bad thing yesterday.

As father and son walked to the inner room, He Yuanhao opened his arms, and his aunt Zhang Jingxian skillfully changed his clothes.

Not a single bad deed? Today, old Huang from the Ministry of Justice even accused me, saying that He Yuanhao did not teach his son well and allowed his son to scold and abuse the sons of good officials.

He Yunxiao said, That Huang Buren guy just needs a beating! Whats more, if I beat him up, is that a bad thing? Thats called removing harm for the people!

He Yunhao said, If only you really had the heart to eliminate harm for the people! What kind of doing harm to the people is fighting with him over a woman? Its just an act of passion. Also, your aunt has already told me about the 100 taels you spent on the cloth weaving in Jiangnan. You are willing to spend money for a woman, and you have never been so generous with your brother Chen Zimo! If the family doesnt pay for this, it will be deducted from your next months monthly salary.

One hundred taels? Wasnt it a thousand taels?

He Yunxiao looked at his aunt. Auntie glared back at him fiercely.

He Yunxiao was very touched by the emotion.

Thank you, Auntie, for saving my life!

After half a round of words, He Yunxiao couldnt go on.

There was too much black history, and if he continued, he would be beaten.

He Yunxiao simply said, Father, please hire an imperial doctor for me.

He Yuanhao said indifferently, Are you going to die?

Thats good. When I was wounded in battle, I was fortunate to have the help of Imperial Doctor Wei. The day before yesterday, I happened to get this tea, which is of good quality. As you are going to the palace today, give this tea to Imperial Doctor Wei by the way.

Zhang Jingxian took the tea, pursing her lips and smiling. She knew that He Yuanhao could not face taking He Yunxiao to the palace, so she said thoughtfully, Master, Xiaoer has not been to the palace for a long time, and I think the Empress Dowager would like to meet the son of the marquis.

He Yuanhao waved his hand and said, As you wish.

Then he picked up his spear and went to the backyard to practice as usual.

After lunch, He Yunxiao accompanied his aunt into the palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

Of course, before visiting the Empress Dowager, there was a ghostly gate to cross.

Aunties friends were all ladies of various families, and they were not like the young ladies in bud. Whats more, they dont care about the odd names that youngsters like He Yunxiao are naughty and mischievous enough to tune out. They were more concerned with practical issues such as whether he was handsome, useful and whether he was a first son.

He Yunxiao is a big sister killer in this respect, exceeding all requirements, and there are not many beautiful women who wouldnt like him.

Mid-untimely. Just after two oclock midday.

He Yunxiao and Zhang Jingxian boarded the Marquis carriage and rode leisurely towards the palace.

Generally, married women were not allowed to let other men on the carriage casually. Some very sophisticated unmarried ladies would not share a carriage with someone of the opposite sex either.

However, He Yunxiao was theoretically the son of his aunt, so there were no such scruples.

On the carriage, Zhang Jingxian handed the tea to He Yunxiao and said, Come with me to see the Empress Dowager first, and after you have met her, you can give this box of tea to Doctor Wei.

When he heard the words Doctor Wei, He Yunxiao knew that he would be able to see the doctor, so he said, Thank you, aunt, for interceding on my behalf.

Zhang Jingxian covered her mouth and laughed lightly, What interceding? Its just that Master wants to send a gift to Doctor Wei and asked Auntie to do so. Auntie couldnt leave, so I asked you to help me.

Hearing this, He Yunxiao suddenly said, Auntie, the day before last, you applied medicine for me and used the ointment from the army. It couldnt have been the same one that old dad put on the table by hand, could it?

This time it was Zhang Jingxians turn to be surprised.

Xiaoer, I cant see that you have the skills to be a sheriff.

He Yunxiao grinned, Aunt, I have a large number of skills.

Zhang Jingxian laughed, I will see later when you meet sisters, dont ask my help.

He Yunxiao recalled a painful lesson from the past and hurriedly raised his hands in surrender.

Auntie must save me then!

The carriage could not enter the palace and stopped outside the side gate. After the guards at the gate had checked their identities, He Yunxiao and his wife walked into the most mysterious and majestic place in the whole of Qi.

In the side rooms on the outskirts of the palace where guests were received, there were already several gorgeously dressed, beautiful women gathered.

This was where the ladies had gathered to visit the Empress Dowager.

As soon as they entered, before He Yunxiao could react, his aunt Zhang Jingxian was pushed aside.

In his eyes, it was like a spring breeze passing through, and flowers were blooming.
