C143 (2/2)

”I want to go to the capital, I want to become the empress's Palace Maid.” The Xiaowan said, ”This way, I can accompany the Empress forever.”

Wei Tengfei was startled: ”Become a Palace Maid?”

The Xiaowan nodded his head: ”You need to be a Palace Maid to be able to stay in the palace, right?”

It was not easy for Wei Tengfei to agree to it himself, but he was afraid that if he rejected Xiaowan, she would be hurt, so he made an excuse that he should discuss with his family to get them to stop her.

Naturally, the entire family was shocked by her. Only Little Pei understood why his mother would go there. The monster must have told his mother something last night, but the Xiaowan refused to admit it, so Little Pei could not point it out. Even if his grandmother said those words in anger that day, he could not say it.

No one could oppose Xiaowan's insistence. However, for Aunt Zhang and the others, it was not easy for him to be willing to live a good life, so she had to agree even if she did not agree.

In the morning of the second day, the Xiaowan left. Wei Tengfei personally drove a carriage to bring her to the capital.

The Xiaowan asked guiltily: ”General, leaving the warriors behind for me, I am truly guilty.”

Wei Tengfei said: ”The world is at peace, you don't have to worry. Even if I am not here, they will train their troops as usual. All these years, I have been wholeheartedly devoted to the army.

Xiaowan was blunt: ”General, I will definitely repay you.”

However, Wei Tengfei laughed: ”Don't jump off the cliff anymore, you're just trying to repay me.”

Of course the Xiaowan wouldn't admit it, but she smiled.

Wei Tengfei looked at her smile in surprise. Why was she so happy when he went to become the Palace Maid?

Only Little Pei knew why his mother was so happy, but the mother and son couldn't explain it to each other. He kept staring at his mother angrily, and every time he got angry, he would act exactly like his father.

As the carriage sped towards the capital, Dragon Queen stood in front of his Heaven's Mirror and saw everything clearly.

”Imperial Mother, did you intentionally get angry that day and tell Xiaowan about it?” The eldest son, Captive Cow, stood at the side and asked gently, ”Who released Yue Huaiyin's spirit?”

Dragon Queen smiled at his son: ”What are you saying, I don't understand.”

Inside the capital, the emperor had received the news very early on that Wei Tengfei was coming to the capital alone with Mu Xiaowan. He thought that he couldn't hide this from the empress. After the husband and wife discussed things, they thought that Wei Tengfei had moved the Xiaowan and that they were here to ask the Emperor for a marriage.

On this day, the imperial government issued a decree that, with the exception of the top three in this year's imperial examinations, all those who had made it to the top three would become officials of the imperial court.

Strangely enough, the new top scholar had only one scholar's errand, high grade but no real power. As for Bi Zhenye and Ling Yu who had not entered the top three, one had gone to the work department, the other had gone to the Ministry Of Justice, and both had a bright future ahead of them.

Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi, for example, had started from when he was a teacher in the Ministry of Industry. Step by step, Bi Zhenye had come to this day, and could be considered to have inherited his legacy.

The decree of the title of official, together with the decree of the Emperor summoning the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi, made him tremble with fear as he followed the palace maid into the palace. At home, Old Madem and Hanxi were overjoyed. Even the depressed Mrs. Bi had finally revealed a smile.

However, Old Madem did not forget about his grandson. When he brought his daughter-in-law and grandchildren to the Ancestral Hall to burn incense, he even said that he would keep the trade on his lips, while Mrs. Bi knelt behind her with a cold look in his eyes.

Deep in the palace, the emperor had seen the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi. Looking at his lonely back, he saw that someone from the palace had come to report, saying that the General Wei had already arrived outside the palace.

”Ask the empress to come.” Xiang Run instructed, but then said, ”Forget it, I'll just take care of the family matters, let's go to the Culture Hall.”

The two emperors thought that since Wei Tengfei had brought the Xiaowan along, it would be impossible for it to be a national affair no matter what. However, their anticipated marriage request had not been accomplished, and the Xiaowan had actually said that she wanted to be the Palace Maid, to accompany the Empress.

Xiang Run slightly frowned. Siyan was also very surprised, and smiled: ”Even if you don't become the Palace Maid, you can still accompany me at my side.

The Xiaowan trembled as she said, ”But a first-class lady, no, no, you can't accompany the Empress every day.”

If that was the case, it would be very far-fetched. This matter was already very strange, and the Emperor ordered them to withdraw to discuss it with the Empress alone.

Obviously, the Xiaowan had her own reasons for suddenly coming to the Palace Maid. For the peace of the imperial palace, the Emperor couldn't agree to such a strange matter.

Siyan also knew that she could not force him, but when Xiaowan asked for her help, she could not bear to refuse.

Seeing through the empress's thoughts, the emperor sighed lightly and said, ”I can't leave it by your side. I can't be at ease even if other people who serve you feel uncomfortable. Your people will think that if they do their best and you don't trust them, you'll have to let one of your own go. ”What do you think?”

Siyan nodded repeatedly. Xiang Run thought for a bit, then said: ”Let her go to the Announcement Hall to do the cleaning, and come see you everyday. He spends the rest of his time there, where there are a lot of guards, so she won't do anything strange.

”That's it for now. Maybe she fulfilled her wish and left.” Siyan said, ”Your majesty, Xiaowan will not cause trouble. She is so kind, and seeing her today, her mental state is much higher than before, how nice is that.”

He had wanted to go to the last trial, at least the suspicious Emperor would not nod his head, yet everything had gone as planned by the Xiaowan. The place she wanted to go the most was the Announcement Hall.

Ling Chaofeng stood at the top of the Announcement Hall, watched as Xiaowan stood below, and helplessly smiled.

This young lady, how long was she going to pester him for? In this lifetime, even if she had to accompany a stone statue, was she going to stay with him?

Xiaowan looked up at the stone beast on the eaves and said smilingly, ”Master, I'm here. Can you see me?”
