Hua Luo had a dream that night, dreaming of herself when she was a child.

She often dreamed of the empress.

The empress in the dream was very harsh, and she was either scolded or aimlessly slandered.

She had never heard a word of complete affirmation from the empress's mouth. Chinese Net

Once, the empress gave her homework.

Hua Luo was unwell because of stomach pain, and it was not completed in time.

When the empress came to check her homework, Hua Luo didn't recite it, and she was hesitant, facing the empress's terrifying serious eyes.

Hua Luo's mind turned sharply, and she hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, it was the sons who memorized the wrong homework, and the sons memorized another treatise on governing the country, so the queen mother should first check the sons and daughters' theories on governing the country."

"Well, you'd better tell the truth."

The empress spot-checked another theory of governance, but she didn't expect to be escaped by Hua Luo.

Seeing that Hua Luo really answered fluently, the empress nodded: "Okay, this time you can do it."

This is one of the few empresses who has a very good evaluation of Hua Luo, and it is rare that there is no slander.

Hua Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and the empress didn't notice that the poem manuscript used for decoration on the wall was the theory of governing the country, just behind the empress.

Hua Luo has never read the theory of statecraft, let alone memorized it.

She just looked at the test draft behind the empress, and said directly according to the gourd drawing.

Another time, Hua Luo did not complete the task given by the empress.

Hua Luo said tentatively, "Although Erchen didn't complete the task this time, Erchen will work hard."

The empress also spared her: "Although you did not complete the task, I should punish you, but for the sake of your good attitude, I will spare you this time."

Under the high pressure of the empress, there are many similar upbringing experiences since childhood, and they are telling Hua Luo that the same word can be said in another way to avoid being punished, which is the same as the allusion of repeated defeats and repeated defeats.

The content of this allusion is probably that a long time ago, the emperor of a country sent a general to fight on the border.

Because the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, the general suffered several defeats, and when the emperor sent someone to ask about the battle, the general changed the document of returning to the battle situation from repeated defeats to repeated defeats.

Repeated defeats mean that the general is very incompetent and has lost to the enemy country in repeated battles, but the meaning of repeated defeats and repeated battles is that although the general has failed repeatedly, he has never lost his fighting spirit.

In the same way, because of a change in one sentence, the general will be exempt from punishment.

Hua Luo took this truth to heart, and subconsciously gradually agreed with it, and thought it was true.

Yan Wujian didn't understand what Hua Luo meant: "No matter how you live, everything just needs to have a clear conscience."

"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Seeing that Hua Luo was in a trance, Yan Wujian was very puzzled, "What is Your Highness thinking?"

"It's nothing, it's just remembering the old days."

"Since it's an unpleasant experience, forget about it."

Hua Luo nodded, she wanted to forget the past, but the past was so deep that it was unforgettable.

Forget, it's not that easy.

In order to let Hua Luo forget her troubles, Yan Wujian even added: "Your Highness, you see that when you were young, you didn't have the ability to survive alone because you were young, and you couldn't live on anyone's own, so you could only do what the people around you said."

"Later, you can also take charge of yourself, the situation will be much better, no matter how strict Your Majesty is with you, it will not be possible to control you for a lifetime, what you said will pass one day, people must look forward."

The world thinks that if people have money and power, they will not have a good life.

But in reality, happiness and whether you have money or not are exactly the same thing.

Maybe the poor will be very happy when they suddenly become rich, but some people were born with a small Hanyu and are destined to have huge wealth from birth, and they will not be happy because they are rich.

For example, Hua Luo, Hua Luo's assets add up to the top rich people in the entire Apocalypse Country, and they also have many troubles, and they also have dark moments in their lives.

Therefore, no matter how far people live

We must not forget the struggle at all stages.

Wei Zelan came to Xiahou Qian's mansion and brought a generous gift.

Xiahou Qian politely invited Wei Zelan into the mansion.

"Lord Xiahou."

"Miss Wei, ...... are you?"

Xia Houqian saw that Wei Zelan had brought many gifts, and he was very puzzled.

Wei Zelan smiled slightly, she was wearing a cloud-blue dress, she looked soft, really like a budding lotus flower, with infinite shyness and gentleness.

"Lord Xiahou, thank you for your cultivation, I will officially take office tomorrow, I have you to take care of you during this time, and I also bought a house for me, servant, so I am here to thank you."

From an outsider's point of view, it's just two colleagues greeting each other.

"Miss Wei doesn't have to be polite."

This is an unwritten rule, as long as the superior brings the subordinate into the officialdom and imparts experience so that he can officially take office.

This subordinate must prepare a small gift to visit and thank you.

Wei Zelan understood this truth, so he came to Xiahou Qian's mansion to sit down.

Wei Zelan saw a maid flying a kite with two children in the distance and was a little puzzled, she remembered that she hadn't heard that Xia Houqian's child was less than a year old? Why does it look so big, this kid looks at least three or four years old.

"These are Lord Xiahou's two children?"

"Yes." Xiahou Qian didn't say much, "Miss Wei, please come in."

"Okay." Wei Zelan was wearing a cloak on his body, his crow-blue hair was scattered, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

She followed Xiahouqian into the main hall and sat down, chatting with Xiahouqian for a while.

In fact, being able to take office so quickly is entirely because of Wei Zelan's talent.

Xia Houqian couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Hua Luo's eyesight was outstanding, and Wei Zelan was really suitable to be a messenger, mainly because she was a bird-man clan, which was much more convenient than others.

At present, there is no problem for Wei Zelan to be a messenger.

As for the previous matter of Hua Luo's appointment to draw the red line for them in the teahouse, Xia Houqian didn't consider it at all, marrying Qiao Nu was because the two families had set a baby kiss, which was his responsibility.

If he could choose, he didn't want to marry a wife just because he wanted to find someone to take care of the housework.

At this moment, a maid came over with an anxious face: "My lord, it's not good, the little boy accidentally fell into the big water tank in the backyard in order to pick up a kite."

"What!" Xiahou stood up suddenly, very anxious, "So what's going on now?"

"Don't worry, my lord, the people next to me fished the little boy out of the water tank in time, and now the little boy is fine, but he is frightened."

Xiahou Qian's face changed rapidly, but thinking that there were still guests in the house, he said to Wei Zelan: "Miss Wei, I'm going to deal with a little urgent matter, I'm out of company, come here, serve some refreshments to Miss Wei, and let Miss Wei sit for a while."

Wei Zelan also heard that it was the child in the family who had an accident, and she could also understand: "Lord Xiahou, just go, I'll do it myself."

Xiahou Qian nodded slightly towards Wei Zelan, and hurriedly walked to the backyard.

Wei Zelan sat there bored, and the maid went down to get refreshments, leaving her alone.

Wei Zelan began to look at the furnishings in the house, Xiahou Qian's mansion looked quite large, but the furnishings were extremely simple, and there was no valuable luxury.

Every screen, every pot of flowers and plants, and every shelf around it all shows that Xia Houqian, a man with great taste.

Wei Zelan couldn't help but think of Hua Luo's previous introduction to Xia Houqian, and after contact, she felt more and more that Xia Houqian was indeed good and suitable for her.

Which daughter's family doesn't want to have a good home, and doesn't want to have a gentle, good man who knows cold and hot to be a husband?

It's a pity that Xiahou Qian refused, otherwise she would have been willing to marry her to such a man.

Seeing that the maid had not come back for a long time and the tea had finished drinking, Wei Zelan stood up and walked around.

She walked through a long corridor with a nice view, and saw a hut at the end of the corridor.

Cottage doors

Hiding without a lock, Wei Zelan felt very strange, what kind of room was this, how could it be built here.

It's a strange structure.

Wei Zelan slowly approached the hut, and as the door was hidden, a crack was opened.

Wei Zelan looked inside and saw some ordinary miscellaneous items inside, the most conspicuous being the garland on the table.

The wreath had apparently been dry for many years, and there were some things next to it that little children liked, or things that girls liked.

What small handkerchiefs, embroidered shoes, windmills and kites and the like, may be the abandoned toys of the children in Lord Xiahou's house.

However, Wei Zelan still remembered that Lord Xiahou's child should only be one year old, but these two children could run and jump, which was really strange.

Wei Zelan felt inexplicable in her heart, but she didn't go in to look.

After all, she was a guest, and it was rude to rush into the host's room without greeting her.

At this time, the maid came out with the refreshment: "Let Miss Wei wait for a long time, today's dim sum is baked late, the puff pastry has not been baked when the slave maid went just now, this kind of dim sum must be formed to be delicious, please Miss Wei taste it, be careful of scalding."

"Thank you." Wei Zelan bowed slightly, and asked about the hut by the way.

"By the way, the door of your hut seems to be open, may I ask what kind of place it is."

The maid turned her head and looked: "Maybe the little boy and the little lady played there just now, the lock of the hut door was rusty, and the child was naughty and accidentally opened it."

"As for the house, the slave maid has never been there, but Lord Xiahou said that there are some old things, he can tidy up by himself, and he will not let the slaves and maids go to clean it, please Miss Wei enjoy the refreshments first, and the slave and maid will go and close the door."

The maid hurriedly walked over and closed the door, and Wei Zelan was even more puzzled.

Old things? Yes, looking at those things, they are indeed very old, why didn't Xia Houqian allow people to set foot on them, weren't they just some kites, and garlands that had long since dried up? What is there to treasure?

After a while, Xiahou Qian finished dealing with the child's affairs and continued to come back to greet Wei Zelan.

Wei Zelan couldn't help but ask Xia Houqian, why his child was less than a year old but looked three or four years old, and learned that it was because of Hua Luo.

These two children coincidentally absorbed the blood of the merman, which is why they grew so fast.

"Her Royal Highness Hua Luo is really kind-hearted, and she is rarely warm-hearted." Wei Zelan was very surprised and sighed, it is really rare for the prince of a country to do this kind of thing for his subordinates.
