He was scolded inexplicably, and until all the eunuchs sent by Lao Zhu left, Han Du still didn't come back to his senses.
Wearing white clothes, he turned to An Qing and asked, "Father, what do you mean?"
An Qing also felt very baffled. It would be fine if his husband made a mistake and was scolded by his father. But now that Han Du had been deprived of his title and was idle at home, how could he offend his father?
"How about I go into the palace and ask my mother what's going on?" An Qing asked tentatively.
Han Du nodded, "Okay."
Being scolded by Lao Zhu for no apparent reason was not just a matter of Han Du's discomfort. I have to ask clearly where I provoked Lao Zhu, otherwise I won't know when I fell into a fight.
Anqing went to the palace in the morning and didn't come back until the evening.
Han Du pulled her into the yard and said hurriedly, "How are you doing? Did you ask what the reason was?"
An Qing suddenly stared at Han Du with two beautiful big eyes.
Han Du frowned and said in confusion: "Don't keep looking at me. What happened to my father? How did I offend him? I sent a eunuch to scold me for no reason."
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
An Qing shook his head, sighed, and walked directly to the room to sit down without saying a word.
Han Du followed her in, sat next to her, and reached out to pour her a cup of tea. He smiled and asked: "Is it so serious? Why do you look like everything is over when you come back?"
After An Qing took a sip of tea, he held the tea cup and said slowly: "I'm going to ask my mother."
"What did the queen say?" Han Du put the tea cup in his hand and listened.
An Qing rolled his eyes at Han Du, sighed and said, "Did you make a strange chair for Tao Wanhu?"
"Yes, what's the problem?" Han Du nodded subconsciously.
Staring into Han Du's eyes, An Qing continued to ask: "Then you also said that Wanhu has difficulty walking when he is old, and walking is dangerous. It's not easy for him to..."
"That's right." Han Du nodded, and at the same time glanced at An Qing strangely, and said puzzledly: "If this were not the case, why would I make him that wheelchair?"
"Is it called a wheelchair? It's really an image." An Qing thought for a moment about what the mother told her, "Haven't you ever thought that your father is getting older? He also needs this, a wheelchair?"
Han Du was stunned and quickly lowered his voice, "Father is very sensitive to old age. How dare I mention that he is old in front of my father?"
"This is indeed the case for ministers, but in addition to being my father's minister, you are also my father's son-in-law. You care about others but not your father. Do you think my father will be sad or angry?" An Qing Said somewhat anxiously.
A flash of light flashed in Han Du's mind, and he stared blankly at An Qing's wide eyes. Then he hesitated and asked: "You mean, my father is angry because I made Wanhu a wheelchair but not him?"
An Qing nodded helplessly.
That's it... Han Du pondered for a moment, "Then it's over if I do one more thing for my father. Is such a trivial thing worthy of sending someone to scold me?"
"If I didn't scold you, how would you know how to do it for my father? Why don't you go quickly?" An Qing yelled.
Han Du quickly asked someone to build a wheelchair for Lao Zhu, and in order to express his apology, Han Du also took out the fragrant rosewood from his collection. This is a good thing that Han Du got in Nanyang. He took it privately and was not willing to send it to Lao Zhu's inner treasury.
Just by looking at the name of this thing, you can tell that it is fragrant rosewood. Its color is yellow, which complements Lao Zhu's preference for yellow. And it also has its own fragrance. This fragrance can soothe people's spirit and relieve fatigue. It is really a rare treasure.
Moreover, this time Han Du did not simply modify the chair like he did in Wanhu. It is carefully designed according to the purpose of the wheelchair.
After the expensive wheelchair was ready, Han Du accompanied An Qing to deliver the things into the palace. Anqing did not send it directly to Lao Zhu, but first sent it to Queen Ma.
If it were sent directly to his father, Han Du might even be scolded. The mother comes first, but this is different. Even if the father is still angry, the mother can help and say a few words.
Lao Zhu went to court and after hearing the report from the maid sent by Queen Ma, he came to Kunning Palace with all his strength.
"The Emperor has arrived~"
While An Qing was talking to Queen Ma and Han Du was standing aside bored, the old eunuch's sharp voice sounded from outside the palace.
Empress Ma and An Qing stood up at the same time and said with a smile, "Greetings to the Emperor~Greetings to Father~"
Han Du also quickly bowed and knelt down, "Meet my father~"
"No courtesy, stay on your own." Lao Zhu walked in, smiled and raised his hand.
When he saw the wheelchair, Lao Zhu couldn't help but feel happy. But when his eyes turned to Han Du, his joy suddenly disappeared. He sneered and said, "You still know that I betrothed Anqing to you, and you also know that I am also your father?"
Han Du suddenly smiled awkwardly, and Nuonuo replied: "Father, the power of God always makes his sons and ministers afraid..."
Seeing that Han Du was in trouble, Queen Ma immediately spoke to save him: "Okay, okay. Isn't the child too afraid of you? Isn't he bringing you something now?"
"I am rich all over the world, who cares about his things?" Lao Zhu's eyes widened, but he still didn't seem to calm down.
Queen Ma handed Han Du a color, and Han Du immediately understood it. He took out the wheelchair and explained one by one: "Your Majesty, this is made of the most precious rosewood, and it was carefully designed by me. The chairs there were simply modified, but they are completely different.”
Hearing that Tao Chengdao had just modified an ordinary chair by Han Du, and that his was specially made by Han Du, the chill finally disappeared from Lao Zhu's face and he was able to listen patiently to Han Du's explanation.
"Why is it different?"
Han Du started with the structure of the wheelchair, continued to talk about the different uses of each part, and finally showed Lao Zhu several deformations.
Lao Zhu finally believed Han Du's words and let him go for the time being.
In the carriage leaving the palace and going back.
Han Du couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to An Qing: "What do you think is going on with my father? He almost punished me just for a chair. Is this serious?"
An Qing sighed softly, "Father is getting older, and his hair has become grayer and grayer in the past few years. As the saying goes, older people are still young, so my father's childish temperament is becoming more and more serious. .You are my father’s son-in-law, so you are half a son. You have good things but don’t honor your father, but you honor outsiders. No wonder your father will be angry. This is the same as the biological son you raised with great difficulty, but you don’t honor your parents, but you do. What's the difference between honoring outsiders? If it were you, wouldn't you be angry? "
Han Du smacked it and savored An Qing's words. Finally, he snorted coldly and said, "That bastard dares to do this to me, a father, and I will break his legs."
Thinking of An Qing's words, Han Du was extremely unconvinced. Why should a child who has worked so hard to raise himself not honor his own father but honor others?
An Qing spread his hands and said, "Isn't this the reason? So it is right for my father to be angry."
Han Du was speechless when An Qing asked him back.
...
Jiaofang Division.
Xiangxue sat in her small courtyard, pulling the petals out of boredom. Turning back to Yanxue, she asked: "Obviously, the Marquis has promised to come to see us, but he hasn't come yet. Do you think the Marquis has forgotten us?"
Yan Xue rolled her eyes at her, lowered her head to play with the unfinished embroidery in her hand, and said casually: "We adults are so capable, and we must have so many things to do. How can we have time to see us?"
"No." Xiangxue suddenly kneaded the flowers in her hand, threw them out of the window, straightened her waist and said, "No, I have to send someone to remind the Marquis."
"Let's forget it." Yanxue thought for a moment and shook her head, "Where is the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion? Is it something we can get close to? Besides, you haven't forgotten who we are, have you? If you send someone to send a message rashly, What should I do if Her Royal Highness the Princess misunderstands me?"
Xiangxue's eyes dimmed for a moment. She and Yanxue were both just divas of Jiaofangsi. Although they have become rich in recent years, they have made a lot of money, and they have also escaped from their humble status. But their former identities are always a chasm in their hearts.
Suddenly, Xiangxue thought of something, her eyes gradually brightened, and she said, "Since it's not appropriate for us to send people to find the Marquis, why don't we ask Sister Yao Yue to help us with the message?"
Yanxue sighed slightly and wanted to persuade Xiangxue, "Actually, you know it's impossible, so why do you do this?"
"I don't care!" Xiangxue was like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, her hair suddenly exploded.
Standing up suddenly, Xiangxue raised her neck as white as a swan, "I want to have good looks and money, why can't you let me live a happier life? Besides, I don't really want to eat Mr. Hou, just I just want to meet once, why not?"
Seeing the hope on Xiangxue's face, Yanxue shook her head slightly and stopped trying to persuade her.
Yao Yue moved out from Jiaofangsi a few years ago. She is from a good family and has millions of dollars in wealth. It is not easy to buy a house in the capital to live in.
However, although Yao Yue is no longer in the Jiaofang Division, she and Xiangxue Yanxue often communicate with each other. The two of them also often visit Yao Yue's house and sometimes stay for a few days. If I want to ask Yao Yue for help, I just go over and tell her.
After hearing Xiangxue's request, Yao Yue's pretty face turned slightly red. A girl's feelings are always spring. She was rescued by Han Du when she was in the most despair. Her feelings for Han Du were complicated, but Han Du never showed her what she wanted from the beginning to the end. Even under several very obvious hints from Yao Yue, Han Du remained indifferent and did not understand her thoughts at all.
