Seven days later, Fu Mingyu was called to the Queen Mother, who motioned for all the maids to go out.
"Children, come here." The Queen Mother waved to Fu Mingyu.
Fu Mingyu walked to the Queen Mother and sat down next to her.
"Your cousin will be coming to take you out of the palace in a moment." The Queen Mother sighed and looked at Fu Mingyu with unusually soft and kind eyes.
Even though Fu Mingyu has been thinking about what life will be like after leaving the palace these days. She is full of yearning and curiosity about living an independent life outside the palace, but when she thinks about it, after she leaves, the Queen Mother will really be the only one left in this huge palace.
, she suddenly felt extremely reluctant to let go.
"Auntie, why don't I stay?" Fu Mingyu gently leaned her head on the Queen Mother's shoulder and said softly, "I will stay by your side."
She didn't call the Queen Mother Empress, but used the family title, which made the Queen Mother very happy.
The Queen Mother hugged Fu Mingyu's shoulders and said, "Good boy, the Ai family knows that you have filial piety, and the Ai family is reluctant to let you go out, but after all, this palace is not a place for you to live and settle down. Our Fu family has been brilliant and has had various problems.
Such a celebrity, even a queen mother like the Ai family, because our family was too eye-catching, the first person His Majesty turned his attention to when he first came to power was our Fu family. Therefore, the Fu family gradually faded out of the government and the public.
Both your parents died for the people of Daxie, and they are the good sons of our Fu family. The Ai family hopes that you can be independent and self-reliant after leaving the palace."
"Yeah." Fu Mingyu nodded.
"Although our Fu family is no longer fighting for power, we are fighting for the character of a scholar. The same is true for your father and mother. Xiao Yu'er, you grew up in front of the Ai family. Your knowledge and character are all trustworthy to the Ai family.
, you have to keep your mind steady after you go out. There are too many temptations outside, and Zheng Wenxuan is a good lesson. Do you understand?" The Queen Mother said to Fu Mingyu sternly.
It was because of Zheng Wenxuan's incident that the Queen Mother made up her mind to send Fu Mingyu out of the palace.
"The Aijia entered the palace at the age of fourteen. The Aijia has not seen much of the colorful world outside. After you go out, you will be the Aijia's eyes and the Aijia's heart. You have to take a good look at this prosperous world of three thousand.
Tell the Ai family that you will make up for the Ai family's regrets. You should think twice when you encounter something, and don't just take people at face value. Do you understand?" the Queen Mother warned again.
The Queen Mother's words burned Fu Mingyu's heart bit by bit, making her unable to hold back tears. She wiped her tears and nodded.
The Queen Mother let out a long sigh. She really couldn't bear to let go of the girl she brought up, but now that she's decided, don't look back.
She picked up the handkerchief and wiped away Fu Mingyu's tears, "Silly boy, why are you crying? It's not like you can't see the Ai family anymore. The waist card the Ai family gave you will not be taken back. You can enter the palace anytime you want, no matter what.
The Ai family will be waiting for you in Ci'an Palace every time! Your cousin is a good man, but sometimes he lacks courage. You are the same, a good man. If you encounter something difficult to decide in the future, you may not be able to make up your mind.
You might as well go directly to the palace to see the Ai family. Although the Ai family is old, they have seen a lot and experienced a lot, so I can help you with the details."
"Thank you, Auntie!" The tears that had just been wiped away by the Queen Mother couldn't help but well up again. Fu Mingyu also felt that it was not good for her. She would make the Queen Mother sad if she cried all the time. She quickly wiped her eyes and forced herself to smile.
Get up, "I've remembered it all!"
"Hey, you're crying!" The Queen Mother's eyes were indeed red from Fu Mingyu's tears. She quickly turned around and wiped her eyes, then said to Fu Mingyu, "Go get that box."
Fu Mingyu turned around and saw a square red sandalwood box placed on the table on one side. This was not a box, it was clearly a box.
Fu Mingyu carried the box over. The Queen Mother put the box on her lap and opened the lock on the box with a small purple gold key. "This lock was specially made by the Ai family by the skilled craftsmen in the palace. Only your key can open it.
You must keep this key well." The Queen Mother said as she unlocked the door.
"Is this for me?" Fu Mingyu was slightly surprised.
"The Ai family doesn't lack anything in the palace. I originally wanted to give these things to you when you get married, but after thinking about it, since you want to go out and live independently, I'll give them to you earlier as a way to live and settle down. If you
It would be even better if the things inside could be promoted." The Queen Mother smiled.
The box was opened, and inside was a thick stack of banknotes and a stack of land deeds.
When the things were spread out, Fu Mingyu's eyes widened immediately. There were three million taels in silver notes alone! This was really the Queen Mother's life savings! Not to mention the land deeds to countless fields and farms inside.
"Our Fu family is also an aristocratic family." Seeing Fu Mingyu's expression of having never seen the world, the Queen Mother couldn't help laughing, "These banknotes were given by others over the years, and the Ai family saved them without needing them.
Some of these land deeds were given to the Ai family by their mother when the Ai family entered the palace. Many more were given to the Ai family by the late emperor over the years, and others paid filial piety. The Ai family all have
Leave it to you!"
Fu Mingyu thought about it. In her previous life, she married into the Anding Marquis Mansion. Although the Queen Mother gave her a lot of dowry, it was still far behind compared to the wealth in this box!
"I can't accept this!" Fu Mingyu quickly shook his head.
"Take it!" The Queen Mother stuffed the boxes one by one to Fu Mingyu, "The Ai family originally thought about when to give you such a large sum of wealth. The Ai family thought for a long time before deciding that you should leave the palace this time.
I’ll give it to you first! After all, you were unambiguous in dealing with Zheng Wenxuan. If you were even the slightest bit indecisive and still had nostalgia for him and would persuade the Ai family to be merciful, the Ai family would not put this wealth first.
I give it to you, because sometimes you are too soft-hearted and let yourself be a white-eyed wolf!"
Fu Mingyu was in a trance while holding this heavy mahogany box!
She suddenly thought that in her previous life, when she married into the Zheng family, the Queen Mother was wary of the Zheng family! If it hadn't been for the incident about Ping Wife, the Queen Mother in her previous life should have given this box to her when she got married! It was because of Zheng Wenxuan's unwillingness.
Believe it or not, the Queen Mother was afraid that the Marquis Anding would seize her dowry, so she did not give her these things along with her dowry!
In fact, the Anding Hou Mansion did conspire to seize her dowry. When she was strangled to death in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, the dowry had been exchanged for cash and they were ready to run away with the queen!
I have to say that the Queen Mother has a long-term vision!
