When Yu Mingyuan said this, he sighed softly, "It's just that our servant cannot be extremely harsh, but it is extremely difficult to get into his eyes. When you work for him, don't think about leisure, let alone goofing around." Maybe. Do you know what job he gave me when I came to Beijing this time? Deputy Privy Envoy, Signing Privy Councilor, and Minister of the Ministry of War. It looks like a high-ranking position, but it is actually a hard job."
"Not only do I have to counsel the prince on a daily basis, but I also have to complete the two errands assigned by him. I am also considered his, so he will naturally not make things difficult for me. Not only will he not make things difficult for me, it can also be said that it is not an ordinary reuse. . These errands he gave me were really stressful for me. Being an official in the capital and a high-level official of the second rank seems to be the ultimate honor. "
"But if it is this job, it is not that difficult to satisfy this master. Our master is a master who does not rub sand in his eyes. In fact, I have never worried about uniting the army and encountering powerful opponents. . But I’m a little worried about doing things under the nose of this prince. I can’t live up to his expectations, but I can’t let those people join in. It’s too cold to be in a high place.”
Listening to her husband mentioning the person who had been buried deep in her heart, Li Xiu felt a little sour in her heart. She did not expect that the big boy in Zhengzhou had now become the prince of the current dynasty, and he could be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. How long has it been? In just two short years, he has reached this point. Li Xiu was secretly happy for Huang Qiong.
Li Xiu felt happy and sad when she thought about how she had been thinking about that person from time to time in the past two years, but had to hide her thoughts and the identity of the child in front of her husband. Li Xiu is not the kind of ambitious person. Her sadness is not because her husband's status is lower than Huang Qiong's and she regrets marrying Yu Mingyuan. After marrying Yu Mingyuan, Li Xiucai discovered that this man was really a good man and husband.
Now that her husband is considerate and loves her, Li Xiu never thought that one day she would be able to enter the palace and become Huang Qiong's concubine. He never thought that his son could become a prince, or even sit in that position one day. What makes Li Xiu sad is that his son and his biological father may never know each other in this life. The higher Huang Qiong's status is, the less he can let them recognize each other as father and son.
When Huang Qiong was in Zhengzhou, he tried every means to win over Yu Mingyuan. She was the one who took the bait for her husband in the first place, so she knew all about it. After her husband received the transfer order, she also knew that her husband would definitely be reused when he came to Beijing this time. But Li Xiu didn't expect that her husband would be so important to Huang Qiong. During those days when she was with Princess Jing, she was naturally no stranger to the situation in the court.
Although she didn't know what the Privy Councilor did, what position he held in signing Privy Council affairs, and how much authority he held. But for putting so much pressure on my husband, I'm afraid this position is unusual. Thinking of this, Li Xiu gently said to Mingyuan: "I know what my husband is capable of. I believe that no matter how difficult the task he tells you, you will definitely do it well."
Having said this, Li Xiu held her husband's hand: "Let's eat first, don't break your bones. For other things, it's better to let nature take its course. He values you so much, and I believe you will not let him down." Expect it. However, I still want to talk to you. As a wife, I really don’t ask you to be your wife’s shadow. I just hope that our whole family can be safe in the future. "
His wife's comfort put a smile on Yu Mingyuan's face. He put down his wife, picked up the meal that his wife had cooked for him, and ate it with big mouthfuls. With many years of fighting experience on the battlefield, Yu Mingyuan has long lost the habit of those civil servants in the Da Qi Dynasty who were not tired of eating and chewed carefully. Especially the delicious and delicious meals in front of me are all prepared by my wife specially for herself.
Picking up the food in front of him, Yu Mingyuan gulped down the delicious food. After he finished his meal, Li Xiu said softly while tidying up: "Speaking of your going to the palace today. Just in time, I also want to tell you that I want to go to the palace tomorrow. Take Liu Hu with me I went to meet my son and his mother, and also to see my daughter. They are both mothers, and this child is the flesh that fell from her mother’s body.”
"I haven't seen her for two years now, and Ziyu must be thinking bad about it. Since we left Zhengzhou, I haven't seen my daughter for two years, and I don't know what she looks like. These days, I always miss her from time to time. I think of that girl. A few days ago, Ziyu wrote to his son that Liu Hu was sent to Ningxia on a business trip. She is now in the palace with her two children, helping Mrs. He take care of the children. "
After Li Xiu said something with some concerns, Yu Mingyuan smiled and said: "I know that you and the prince's wives have been close to each other since they were in Zhengzhou. Now everyone in the court knows that I am His Highness in Xiaoqi. Some of the old subordinates I have led in the camp have long regarded me as one of their own. You can go if you want, there is nothing taboo about it. Go and see the children, there is nothing others can say about it."
"As for that child, if it is really inconvenient for Mrs. Liu to carry it in the palace, we will take it out. Your child is naturally my child, and I will definitely treat it as a bowl of water. Things in the palace are too complicated. Staying there will have a great impact on the children. If Mrs. Liu is worried, even their children will be taken out. It just so happens that the two children are together, so they are more or less companions. "
Having said this, Yu Mingyuan's face became solemn and said: "Madam, now that I have been transferred to the Privy Council and the Minister of War, I don't know how many pairs of eyes in the court are watching. I don't know how many people are eager to be promoted. It's my idea. We still have a three-part agreement. No matter what excuses the officials below find to give gifts, don't accept gifts exceeding thirty guan. Even if they don't exceed 30 guan, you must return the gift."
"I have wasted half my life in this officialdom. From being a Jinshi to my current second-rank position, I have seen too many dirty things in this officialdom. Even if you say something unpleasant between superiors and subordinates, No one will give you a gift without asking for it. The person who gives the gift must have something to ask for. Although I have done it as a civil and military officer, I have never accepted money from others since I entered this officialdom. "
"After receiving property, you have to do things for others. People who would rather give gifts and go through the back door than work hard on the right path. If such an official does things for him, he will deceive the people and the court, and even give the clues to him. In the hands of others. They say that you are short-tempered and soft-handed. This is the truth. When I am not in the house, if someone comes to give a gift, just do what I just said. "
"Stay away from the official wives in the capital. Those officials can also do things that take the wife's route. In daily life, you must restrain your family and don't go out to cause trouble. When you come to the capital, you must be honest. In fact, I'm not worried about the rewards from the Crown Prince. What I'm worried about is that my dozen or so soldiers are all veterans who have followed me on the battlefield for the rest of their lives, and they are very arrogant."
"There are officials and officials everywhere in the capital. If you throw a brick casually, it might hit the minister's son, the earl's son, or the young lady of the minister's family. Although we are not afraid of them, there is no need to cause more trouble. , let alone bring disgrace to the Crown Prince. I’m afraid I’ll have to be busy in the future, so I’ll have to leave everything to you, madam, to take care of everything in this family.”
Yu Mingyuan's words made Li Xiu feel very warm, and she lay quietly in her husband's arms. Seeing her husband's unprecedented solemn expression when he said his last words, he nodded equally solemnly. Although I married Yu Mingyuan originally for Huang Qiong, I was still somewhat reluctant. But after these two years of getting along as husband and wife, Yu Mingyuan has become even more loving and considerate towards herself.
Treating the two children as his own, even Master Yan also assumed the responsibility of a loving father. It also made Li Xiu's once cold heart slowly melt. One of the two children is her and her ex-husband's, and the other is her ex-husband's nephew. Although it was originally entrusted by Huang Qiong, it was also so that he could at least have a chance to get close to his son. In order to protect the Liu family's face, they accepted two children as students.
But Yu Mingyuan not only did not reject these two children at all, but also invested a lot of effort in them. Reading, doing things, and being a good person all show his hard work. That is to say, he assumed the responsibility of a strict teacher and to a certain extent, he also assumed the responsibility of a father. After two years of training, although they are far from being said to be versatile in both civil and military affairs, the two children have performed quite well.
Especially his son, under Yu Mingyuan's careful guidance, he went from being a stranger to being familiar with himself, and now he has accepted himself from the bottom of his heart. Among them, Yu Mingyuan invested a lot of effort. It can be said that without a husband, the two children would not be where they are today. Today, Li Xiu not only respects Mingyuan, but is also grateful to her husband from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, the couple didn't say anything more, but they cuddled together quietly. The next day was the day of getting up, after Li Xiu served her husband to change clothes and go to court. Then he took his three children and entered the palace on a sedan chair. As the mother of Liu Hu's son, Wu Ziyu also waited in Xiyuan with the two girls she had picked up from Ting Xuexuan and Huang Qiong's mother early in the morning.
The two sisters were very sad to see each other again after two years. Nowadays, Li Xiu has become a second-rank official, and the new wife of the Privy Council can be said to have become a famous lady. And Wu Ziyu is now in charge of affairs in the palace. The entire palace knows that Mrs. Liu, who was in charge of affairs in the Prince of England's palace and followed the prince's family into the palace, is not an ordinary person and has won the trust of several masters.
Right now in Xiyuan, it can almost be said that besides Situ Huanshuang, Duan Jin, and He Yao, Wu Ziyu is the person with the most say. The change of fate has made both of them no longer what they used to be. However, the two women are both gentle, virtuous, and well-educated women. The two girls were quite calm when they met this time, and they still got along as well as they did in Zhengzhou. No one showed off their status.
After gently touching the top of his son's hair, he welcomed Li Xiu and his party into his yard. Wu Ziyu took a good look and saw two children who had grown a lot taller. Then she turned to Li Xiu's daughter and said, "My child, do you still remember that my mother took you to meet her in Zhengzhou two years ago? She has been telling you about her biological mother who loves you the most in the past two years? She is here to see you now. You’re here, why don’t you go over and call me mother?”
Perhaps over the past two years, Wu Ziyu has been constantly persuading and enlightening me. Maybe it's because two years have passed and the child has grown up a lot. Although she was still a little timid, she still walked up to Li Xiu and called her mother softly. And this voice made Li Xiu, who had been looking forward to it for two whole years after saying goodbye to Zhengzhou, no longer able to hold back the excitement and sadness in her heart. Holding her daughter in her arms, she couldn't help crying.
Apart from spending a few days with my daughter in Zhengzhou, I was never able to accompany her daughter almost since she was born. Finally, he escaped from the sea of suffering, but in the blink of an eye he married Yu Mingyuan again. Following Yu Mingyuan, they went to Bianzhou to take office together. It was two years since they last saw each other. Compared with her son who can stay with her, this daughter is her concern all the time.
