"But, Brother Lu, if you return to Uncle Ding'an's Mansion, then you will be my uncle's young master, and your career in officialdom will be much smoother in the future, right?" Yu Shaoyu asked him.
"You have to earn your own future," Lu Yan said. "Besides, my husband's status is not lower than his."
"Ha, that's true. The students of Taifu Xie are all very powerful, and he is also a prince. His status is not lower than that of Ding'an Bo." Yu Shaoyu said happily, "Brother Lu, you are so good, wait until you get into high school, and then you can
Go to the official office and pay homage to the cabinet and make him angry to death!"
Lu Yan raised his glass to him.
The three of them continued to eat and drink in Zuiyuxuan, but the matter about Taifu Xie's student being the abandoned son of Ding'an Bo Mansion flew out as if it had wings. Within two days, everything that should be known and should not be known was known.
He Yunxi knew everything about Zhuangzi.
"Tsk, this thing is spreading everywhere, these people are really bored." The concubine snorted.
"You are the only one who is not bored." The Queen Mother looked at the object under her feet and couldn't help but twitch her lips.
The concubine saw her staring at her hands, raised her head proudly, and then glared, causing the scooter under her feet to slide forward.
"Haha, this thing is still fun, hahaha——"
The concubine's wanton laughter moved the queen mother a little, and her eyes were full of endearment when she looked at her.
"Chang'an, do you know what it was like for your grandma to enter the palace?" the Queen Mother asked.
He Yunxi stood beside the Queen Mother and said: "Chang'an can't imagine it."
"That's what she looks like now." The Queen Mother sighed, "At that time, she was young, flamboyant, happy, and had light in her eyes."
He Yunxi could imagine that the concubine's character was like this.
"At that time, the Ai family had been in the palace for two years. They were tired of the days of giving up on the late emperor and fighting over the harem. They could not really feel at ease every day and night." The Queen Mother recalled, "Once, the Ai family was attacked.
She was framed, and the late emperor grounded the Ai family. The other concubines felt that the Ai family had been doomed that time. Only she did not believe that the Ai family was responsible. In the end, she found evidence, but the late emperor wanted to turn a blind eye.
It was her death and the banker's coercion that forced the emperor to release the Ai family."
"Where will the Duke and the others be at that time?"
How could the Duke's government turn a blind eye to her situation?
"That year there was a chaos on the border, and all the men from the Duke's Mansion went to the battlefield. Those people chose that time to deal with me just because there was no one in the Duke's Mansion." The Queen Mother said, "This silly girl was disliked by the late Emperor because of that incident.
She knew that I was drugged and could not have children, so she said that she had given birth to me and gave birth to a child for me. In the days that followed, the Ai family and her supported each other in the harem and saw that she was unhappy because she stayed in the palace.
Seeing that there was no light in her eyes, we endured the death of the late emperor with her."
He Yunxi lowered his head a little. It seemed that he shouldn't listen to this kind of thing!
When the Queen Mother said this, did she mean to kill someone and silence her?
The Queen Mother continued: "The Emperor has ascended the throne, and the Ai family and she finally have a peaceful life. But after living in the harem for so many years, she is no longer the girl with the light in her eyes."
The only one who can call you a concubine is you, the Queen Mother.
"But after you appeared, there was light in her eyes again."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she looked at He Yunxi. He Yunxi looked at her flattered and smiled awkwardly after being caught red-handed.
The Queen Mother also smiled and continued: "The Aijia didn't know why before, but now I understand. You are indeed a junior who understands her and knows what she wants. You don't deliberately support her because of her age and status, and you don't fight her.
Stop her in the name of her own good."
In everyone's eyes, playing is only for young people, why should they play when they are old? Only He Yunxi would spend time thinking of fun things for her.
Only He Yunxi, when he heard that the concubine wanted to climb a mountain, would rather take the trouble and be more thoughtful and take her to climb a mountain that she had never been before.
She didn't see how proud the concubine was when she showed off her mountain climbing experience to her in the palace.
Today, the concubine was actually going to make a fuss and come out, either to the imperial palace or to He Yunxi's place. She couldn't resist, so she had to agree. In the end, she pulled her along, saying that she was taking her out for fun.
When they arrived at Zhuangzi, He Yunxi brought a scooter to the concubine, saying that it was specially designed for her.
And she didn't know she was coming, so she only prepared a scooter.
She doesn't know how to play with things like scooters, but she is willing to watch Toffee play with them.
He Yunxi made the ground here very smooth so that there would be no potholes that would cause the concubine to trip over. And the scooters are relatively safe and there will be almost no problems.
The concubine was as happy as a child.
The Queen Mother stayed at Zhuangzi until the afternoon and then returned to the palace. Before leaving, she said to He Yunxi: "Maybe your Chang'an identity has been announced?"
"The emperor hid it for his granddaughter so that my husband could study with peace of mind. Now that the exam has passed, there is no need to hide the identity of the county head." He Yunxi responded.
In fact, this is only a very small part of the reason.
Pei Yuanhui asked for a secret order for her at the beginning, mainly because he knew that she did not want others to know her identity and let all forces to win over or deal with them.
Now that Lu Yan has taken part in the examination, and they don't need to choose, they naturally get on the prince's ship. So it doesn't matter now that the identity of the head of Chang'an County is known.
"You have confidence in your husband." The Queen Mother smiled.
She envied the relationship between He Yunxi and Lu Yan.
She had fantasized about that kind of pure love before she left the court. However, this fantasy could only be a fantasy after all.
After the Queen Mother left, the Dowager stopped playing and went to the backyard to rest.
He Yunxi knew that she actually couldn't let go of the Queen Mother. She just didn't like the life in the palace so much.
The concubine was only upset for a moment, and the next day she followed everyone to the ground full of energy.
He Yunxi took people to cut the first batch of sweet potato vines in the morning, and then took a few little ones to make cuttings.
"Poke a small hole diagonally like this, then insert the sweet potato vine along the hole, and then press the soil slightly, and that's it." He Yunxi said while demonstrating.
This is very simple. Lu Yunqing can grow it with the help of Chi Yue and others.
He Yunxi specially allocated a piece of land for each child and asked them to plant their own crops. When the harvest is harvested later, it will belong to them and they can eat whatever they want.
When the Three Little Overlords from Beijing and Liang Jinan came over, they heard that they had all gone to the fields, so they went directly to the fields to find her.
Seeing the concubine sitting on the ridge basking in the sun and watching everyone working, several people were startled and all went to pay their respects.
