Caihe originally thought that as long as the emperor took the initiative to speak, even if Huangfu Xue and An Mingchen were unwilling, they would endure it, and finally sent him to the palace according to the emperor's thoughts, but she never expected that the second lady would be so bold and directly rejected the emperor's proposal......

Now that the emperor has left, no matter how dissatisfied she is, she can only speak against her will. But since the emperor said that he has a heart for her today, he should come to see her in the future. Caihe knelt on the ground with such a thought. Huangfu Xue didn't know what she was thinking, she glanced at her and continued, "I don't know anything about today's affairs, but I tell you after all, our Huangfu family definitely doesn't need people with ulterior motives, if you have other thoughts, I hope you take this opportunity to take the initiative to leave, if you choose to stay, you will break this thought, and stay in the Huangfu family with peace of mind." ”

"Miss is angry, the slave really knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid's life are all saved by the young lady, and the slave and the maid have also sworn that they will be sincere with the young lady in this life and this life. Ask the young lady not to drive the slave and maid away. Caihe cried and pleaded, but thought in her heart that if she left the emperor's house, she was afraid that she would never see the emperor in her life. How can you take revenge if you can't see the emperor, how can you restore the country if you can't take revenge, and how can you be worthy of the people of Li in the previous dynasty?

Thinking of the heavy responsibility on her body, Caihe suppressed the displeasure in her heart and knelt down and hugged Huangfu Xue's legs, "Miss, the slave really doesn't want to leave Miss, Miss don't drive the slave away." ”

"Have you really figured it out?" Huangfu Xue squatted down and helped him up, "Caihe, there is only one chance I want you to think clearly, life seems to be short, but it is very difficult, I don't want you to regret it in the future,"

Caihe felt that Huangfu Xue was hypocritical, and he knew what she wanted most but drove her away in the name of being good for her. Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, he slowly raised his head, "The slave maid has thought clearly, and the slave maid wants to follow the young lady and ask the young lady to fulfill it." ”

"Well, your ability has always been obvious to all, if you keep you by your side to be an ordinary maid is really useless, I am ready to take you to be a big girl, and then help me take care of the shop together, are you willing?"

If there was such a good opportunity before, I would have been happy, but today...... She didn't even know whether to cry or laugh, "The slave is willing, thank you for your support." After Caihe left, An Mingchen walked in, "I thought you would take advantage of today's events to send her away." Although you rejected the emperor today, but the emperor has this thought, and if he doesn't succeed today, he will find the next opportunity, and he will ...... when the time comes."

"I know, but if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, plus the emperor has a showdown with me, if I refuse the emperor on the front foot, I will send her away on the back foot, even if the emperor doesn't think about it, he will be displeased, if she leaves and then finds the emperor through other means to add fuel and vinegar, things may be out of our control." Huangfu Xue expressed her worries, An Mingchen nodded after thinking about it, "You're right, this matter is really careless, it's just that if something like this happens, you will now turn her into a big girl, wouldn't it be more heartfelt to serve left and right in the future?" ”

"No problem, I just told her that I hope she can help me with the shop, so that I can send her out to do things. When the time comes, the emperor will have an explanation, and we won't have to look at her every day, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"The lady is wise." An Mingchen smiled and held her in his arms, "Didn't the lady always want to go out for a walk during the confinement?" Now that your body is almost recovered, there are three sisters in the shop, and the children are watched by their father-in-law and mother-in-law, how about we go out for a walk? ”

At the beginning, I couldn't go out during confinement, and I was stuffy in the house all day, Huangfuxue complained casually, but I didn't expect An Mingchen to remember it, but now I heard her mention it, smiled and shook his head, "Let's wait a little longer, the child is still too young, I really can't rest assured." ”

"There are so many people in the house, and my father-in-law and mother are even more sure that they will be fine every day." An Mingchen smiled and persuaded him, but Huangfu Xue was still not at ease, "It's better to wait." I've been bothering my third sister for a long time, and now that I'm out of confinement, it's time to start my business slowly. Haven't you been busy lately? ”

Out of the confinement, Huangfu Xue was busy, sometimes she left early in the morning, came back until the twilight was deep, and sometimes she had to spend the night at the dock, Li saw this, her stomach was full of displeasure, "Does she think she is still the same as before?" Ping An is still so young, isn't she, a mother, worried about her children? ”

Although Huangfu Zhengxiong also feels sorry for his grandson, he also supports Huangfu Xue's career, not to mention that his daughter is his own, how can he let others reprimand, so when Li complained about his dissatisfaction with Huangfu Xue, Huangfu Zhengxiong immediately quit, "The second child is busy with business, and she needs to deal with many things personally, can't we take care of peace with us at home?" ”

"How can we compare with our own mother." Li was still dissatisfied, but he didn't want to argue with Huangfu Zhengxiong head-on, so he muttered a word and went back to the room with peace in mind. slept peacefully, and Huangfu Zhengxiong went out for a walk with nothing to do. In the evening, Huangfu Xue and An Mingchen came back together, and the maid beside the Li family walked in, "Miss, uncle, the old lady is invited." ”

The two glanced at each other, and then went to the next yard together, Li was amusing Ping'an, the two grandparents and grandchildren were having a very good time, Li saw them coming, it was rare to be pleasant, "Sit down when you come, what are you doing standing there?" Are you afraid that my old wife will beat and scold you? ”

"No, we just came back from outside and heard that my mother was looking for us, so we came here to see what was going on?" An Mingchen opened the topic, Li Shi glanced up at Huangfu Xue, snorted coldly and handed Ping'an to the nurse, "You are busy all day long, poor my eldest grandson, like an orphan without a father, if it weren't for me, an old woman who loves him, what would he do?" ”

Li Shi cried directly as he spoke, and An Mingchen sighed helplessly, "Mother, my mother and I have our own things to do, it is impossible to stay at home all day, plus there are so many people in the house, Ping An will be fine." ”

"How can others compare with your biological father, boss, you have always been sensible, why are you so cold-blooded and ruthless now, he is your biological son, your only son, are you willing to keep him at home and ignore him?" Li's words were said to An Mingchen, but Huangfuxue couldn't hear Li's dissatisfaction with him, in fact, she was reluctant to be safe, but An Qinyue also had her own affairs, and she couldn't keep letting him help. Originally, she planned to talk about her mother-in-law going to sea tonight, but now she didn't talk about it anymore.

Li vented her dissatisfaction for a while, and the two stood aside and listened, until Li had scolded enough and felt happy before letting the two leave. An Mingchen hugged Ping'an, Huang Fuxue followed, and returned to the room, Huang Fuxue said with some concern, "I originally planned to go to sea in three days, but my mother has this attitude now..."

"Mother, you don't have to worry, I'll talk about it." An Mingchen didn't worry that she would go to sea alone, so she thought about it for a while and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will ask the emperor for a period of leave to accompany you to the sea." ”

"Xianggong, forget it. Ping An is still so small, we can't take care of him during the day on weekdays, and we can spend more time with her at night, but this time I am not sure when I will come back, if I go too long, what will Ping An do? Although my mother's words are a little unpleasant, they make sense, and we can't ignore peace. ”

"Peace is important, but you are even more important. Lady, I can't bear to be safe, but I can't bear you even more. An Mingchen glanced at the fat son in his arms, and then at the delicate lady, and the balance in his heart directly shifted to the other side, "This time I went to sea for a month at most, and Ping An is still young, he won't remember." ”

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about, just because he doesn't remember, so you're willing to leave him?" Huangfu Xue took Ping'an with a smile, "Ping'an is hungry, let's go, let's go eat." ”

After the second day, An Mingchen went to the imperial study, and after talking to the emperor, he mentioned the matter of Huangfu Xue going to sea, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something important to ask for a month's leave...... The emperor didn't wait for him to finish, and directly interrupted him, "Lord An, don't talk about asking for leave, I suddenly thought of a very important thing that needs Mrs. An's cooperation, I don't know if Mrs. An will be free these days?" ”

"My lady's ......" An Mingchen wanted to say that Huangfu Xue was going to sea, but the emperor interrupted him again, "Recently, a lot of cloth has been shipped from neighboring countries, and the envoys and I said that they are all high-quality cotton cloths, but I asked people to bring some yesterday and found that this is not the case, but the specific needs to be carefully examined before it becomes clear, and I am not worried that those people in the Ministry plan to personally inquire about this matter." ”

Some time ago, there was a war between the border and the neighboring countries, the Northern Chu won a complete victory, and the neighboring countries ceded land and paid compensation, but most of the financial resources of the neighboring countries were used in the war, and there was no silver compensation at all, and the emperor and the minister discussed and proposed to use cloth and cattle to arrive, and it is said that those things were sent to the capital a few days ago, An Mingchen did not expect these things.

Huangfu Xue is in business, and he also has a cloth village in his hand, although it is not as good as the ministry, but it is not comparable, the emperor was the first to think of Huang Fuxue after he had doubts, of course, the emperor will never admit that the reason why he wants to do this is actually another ulterior secret......

"This matter is about the face of Beichu, and Weichen and his wife should do their best." An Mingchen responded and told the emperor to leave the palace at a good time. On the other side, Huangfu Xue had already begun to prepare for going to sea, and after listening to An Mingchen's words, he hurriedly asked someone to return the scheduled ship, "I don't know when this matter will end, let's talk to the dock to return the ship first." ”

"Yes." After the little servant left, Huang Fuxue put down the ledger, "Why did the emperor suddenly have this idea?" In the past, these things were done by the officials, and even if the emperor had some doubts about the officials, other yamen would take over. With so many cloths, the emperor wants to take over in person, and I'm afraid he won't be able to figure out for a while. ”

An Mingchen also felt strange, but the emperor opened his mouth, and he could only respond. "It's just ten days and a half months, and it's gone by quickly."

Huangfu Xue always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what was wrong, but now they had no other way but to respond.
