At dinner, the emperor came to visit.

This frightened the Fang Clan.

Shang Gong, who taught her etiquette before entering the palace, said that the emperor had a lot of state affairs to do, and he might not necessarily go to Yingxue Pavilion.

She never thought that she would see the emperor when she entered the palace.

"The courtier, Yao, greets the emperor!" Fang Clan knelt on the ground and made a big salute.

"Get up." The emperor sat on the low couch and reached out to take the tea handed by Yao Chuxi.

"Your Majesty."

After sitting down, the emperor carefully looked at the Fang clan.

Her temperament is very quiet, she doesn't fight or grab, Yao Chuxi mostly follows her, her appearance and personality.

"How is the Yao family doing? I was too busy with government affairs to deal with Yao Zhice's affairs. The emperor had an apologetic look on his face, but Yao Chuxi understood that this question was just polite.

"Back to the emperor, the trivial affairs of the family have been taken care of, and the husband of the courtiers is dedicated to his duties, so there is nothing troublesome."

The emperor changed his sitting posture and looked at the Fang clan again.

He wanted to see something in the eyes of the Fang Clan, but the Fang Clan remembered what Shang Gong had said, so he couldn't face the saint directly, so he could only bow his head.

"I found someone to check the previous affairs of the Yao family, and I know that the Yao family is dedicated to the imperial court, the hairpin is the world, and has been a clean official for generations, and I also know that I have neglected Yao's policy, do you have the heart to ask for an official position for your husband this time?"

"Courtiers don't dare!"

Yao Chuxi listened on the side, only feeling scared, and the water cup in his hand trembled.

How did the emperor mention this matter in a good manner? Could it be that someone said something in his ear? Or is he thinking about something? Thought that his mother came to the palace to ask for an official position?

And the emperor smiled indifferently, "Don't be nervous, if it weren't for the clarification of the matter, I wouldn't be able to open this mouth." ”

"What does the emperor mean?" Yao Chuxi asked.

"The first emperor was very stable in the government at that time, but in the later period, when he was older, he listened to slander, and many political affairs were powerless, which gave those people a chance."

Fang and Yao Chuxi knew in their hearts that 'those people' meant people who spent money to buy official positions.

If it weren't for them, I'm afraid that Yao Zhice would have been promoted to a fourth-grade senior now, where would he go to such a poor and remote place to take office?

"I have only been in power for a few years, and I am powerless to take care of everything, some people ride cranes to Yangzhou, and they still stretch out their hands to the rights of my subordinates even if they daydream, I naturally can't tolerate it, and some people celebrate with their crowns, and use their positions to seek official positions for relatives and friends, I know these things, and it's time to take care of them."

It turned out that the emperor knew that Yao Chuxi was secretly relieved.

After hearing these words, the Fang clan was very touched, and knelt on the ground again, "The emperor's heart is clear, and the courtiers thank the emperor!" ”

"Yao Zhice has made a name, and let him wait for the good news." The emperor smiled heartily, and the Fang family also laughed, "Courtier, thank the emperor for his grace!" ”

Yao Chuxi was also happy for his father and mother on the side, and the emperor said that the name of the policy was listed, Yao Chuxi understood, which meant that the name of the book was Yu Ce, and he was in the court, which meant that he wanted to promote his father!

But the emperor has never talked to him about his father, how does the emperor know so much?

I only heard the emperor say again, "There are not many good officials in the court who are dedicated to the people, Yao Zhice pulls out the sunflower to weave, does not compete with the people for profit, thinks loyally, serves the monarch loyally, and is loyal, where will there be no place for him in the court?" ”

Fang listened to the emperor praising his husband, praising him for his clean breeze and praising him for his loyalty, so he didn't dare to continue, and only said two modest sentences, indicating that the Yao family would always follow the emperor, no matter how the emperor arranged, Yao Zhice would never say anything.

The emperor also appreciated Fang's family very much, and nodded incessantly.

The first time I had dinner with the emperor, Fang's nervous hands were shaking, but the emperor was more casual, "Madame doesn't need to be nervous, just eat normally." ”

Yao Chuxi also generously sandwiched a piece of braised pork into his mother's plate.

Fang Shi was thinking about the emperor's goodness in his heart, and he was talking about his daughter's ignorance, and finally didn't say anything.

My daughter must not be like this for a day or two, and the emperor treats her very well, so why bother with it?

The next day, Concubine De came again, this time she didn't bring Princess Yunyi, only some palace people by herself.

Although the emperor gave grace to go down, Yao Chuxi and the Fang family knew in their hearts that it was okay to stay in the palace for a few days, but if it was too long, it would be unruly.

I heard Concubine De say that the emperor has already arranged that he will leave the palace at noon tomorrow, and the carriage will be able to send the Fang family back to the Yao Mansion in five or six days.

Thinking that his mother would leave tomorrow, Yao Chuxi was really reluctant in his heart.

How can the Fang family give up?

But the emperor's grace is so obvious, he wants to promote his father, and when the time comes, he is likely to move back to Beijing to live, so why worry about meeting his mother?

Thinking of this, Yao Chuxi eased his nerves and took a sip of honey water.

"Xi'er." Fang came in from outside the door and sat beside Yao Chuxi, "I can't bring anything with me when I enter the palace this time, thinking that you don't lack anything, and I don't know what to take." ”

While talking, Fang took out a notebook from the cloth bag in his hand, "This is written by your father when he was idle, most of them are some ambitions or something, and there are some travelogues that have been to various places since taking office, and they don't belong to anything, just thinking that you are often bored in the deep palace, your mother brought it, and you usually take a look at it as a pastime." ”

"My father's handwriting is beautiful." Flipping through the notebook, Yao Chuxi said, "Usually my daughter often reads, but most of the books in the palace are from the past, and some of the high-sounding words in them are very difficult to understand, although the emperor often teaches his daughter, he can't always be with his daughter." It's the one written by the father, which is clear at a glance, and it's really suitable for a daughter who doesn't use her brain. ”

Fang Shi quipped, "It's a shame that your father is still proud of you, you can say such things, if your father's face is black when he is angry here?" ”

Yao Chuxi also smiled: "Isn't my father not here?" Otherwise, how dare my daughter say it. ”

At night, when it was time to go to bed, the Fang clan went to the east hall again.

It was not easy to enter the palace, Fang wanted to talk to his daughter more and tell something, seeing that his daughter's belly was getting bigger day by day, he really couldn't let go.

"Xi'er." As soon as Fang entered the room, he clenched Yao Chuxi's hand, "You listen to your mother." ”

Yao Chuxi was also sad in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but looked at his mother with a light smile, "You say." ”

Fang's eyes were filled with tears, seeing his daughter holding back the tears like this, his palm rubbed the back of his daughter's hand repeatedly, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Mother is leaving, how are you doing in this palace?" ”

"Look at what you said." Yao Chuxi's eyes were also filled with tears, but she still had a smile on her face and quipped, "Didn't your daughter survive before you entered the palace?" ”

"But my mother is worried about you, your belly is getting bigger day by day, when I think of the miscarriage before, my back is in a cold sweat, you are gentle when you play small, how to prevent it!"

Yao Chuxi sobbed twice, and did not shed tears, but stretched out his hand to hold his mother, "Don't worry, the emperor treats his daughter well, and Han Shanggong takes care of him, and Father-in-law Ding protects him outside, so there will be nothing wrong with him, besides, if your father really goes to Beijing to take office, then you and your daughter are still sad to see each other?" ”

Fang Shi reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "The emperor treats you well, you can't be pampered and arrogant, you must remember who you are relying on in the palace, your mother is useless, she can't help you, so you have to keep your eyes open, don't trust others." ”

"Don't worry." Yao Chuxi wanted to say something to comfort his mother, but he only said this sentence for a long time.

When they parted the next day, the two of them were really uncomfortable for a while, but Yao Chuxi kept smiling, and the Fang family also smiled in order not to make his daughter sad, never mentioning how tired and hard it was on the way, only saying that the carriage was wide and comfortable, and everything arranged by the emperor was in order.

Isn't the carriage wide and comfortable? The five eunuchs sent back and forth, and the two palace maids were waiting, all of them were people sent out from the palace, naturally one was more shrewd and capable than the other, seeing that Fang Shi patted his chest and immediately opened the carriage window, and saw that Fang Shi licked his lips and immediately handed over a glass of water.

But after all, the family is far away from Beijing, and the carriage sits down for a few days and nights, although you can go to the inn on the way to rest and recuperate, but the fatigue is unbearable for ordinary people.

This time, it was the palace people who escorted them back, in addition to them, there were also some palace people, and even there were two more carriages, and each carriage was full of reward objects, ranging from gold and silver jewelry to stools and chairs.

When the Fang clan turned back in three steps at the time of the Ying Xue Pavilion, it was simply ten thousand reluctant, and Yao Chuxi was the same, although he didn't shed tears, he followed closely step by step, and he almost sent the Fang clan out of the palace.

Walking to the corner, Fang Shi turned his head and waved his hand, signaling Yao Chuxi to go back, Yao Chuxi was still standing there, seeing Fang Shi turn around, this time she didn't look back.

Both of them are worried about each other in their hearts, but they are helpless.

I just hope that the good days will come soon, whether it is the birth of the dragon son or the promotion of his father, as long as the family can be reunited, Yao Chuxi will be satisfied.

Yao Chuxi didn't use anything for lunch, maybe because her mother was gone, which made her lose her appetite for a while. Usually, when Fang was there, he would coax and persuade her to eat more.

Han Shanggong walked over from the side, signaled with his eyes that the rain would fall, and he took the soup bowl and handed it to the master.

"Little lord, are you worried about Madame?"

Yao Chuxi nodded silently, staring at the bowl of fish soup in front of him with dull eyes.

"It's normal for the little master to be so worried, last night the lady lived in the slave's house, and she talked a lot to the slave and maid."

"What did Mother say to you?" Yao Chuxi looked up and asked.

"Madame is worried that you will not think about tea and dinner, so she specially instructed the slave maid to serve you well, and wait for the next time you enter the palace to check whether you have lost your meat." Han Shanggong pretended to be relaxed.
