After hearing Brother Hui's question, Mu Yingbao paused while holding the lotus root raft for him.

"It's nothing, actually. It was just that the young man Lin Chuan came to see your father urgently. He walked into our room without knocking or saying hello. Then I acted a little too intimate with your father, and that scared the boy.

His reaction was a bit exaggerated, and then, you can imagine what the consequences would be.”

When Brother Hui heard this, he understood. No wonder Dongzhu looked a little strange.

Mu Yingbao placed the lotus root in the small bowl in front of Brother Hui, and when he looked up he met the meaningful look of Old Man Tao.

Knowing that he was thinking about other things, Mu Yingbao was too lazy to explain to him.

Anyway, I didn't lie. I really didn't do what Bai Rixuan did with Xue Wenyu at that time.

"By the way, mother, you have to take care of Lian Qing and her son recently. Do you need to pick a few maids to come in?" Brother Hui thought of this and asked his mother for advice.

Before I became the emperor, I thought that when I grew up and had the ability, I would give my mother the best.

Let his mother enjoy her life. Now seeing that there were already few people serving his mother and they have to divide the staff to take care of others, Hui feels distressed and feels that he is not filial.

Mu Yingbao smiled when he heard this; "I know you feel sorry for me, son, but it's really not necessary. It's fine like this right now. But if you want to have a few more people to serve you, just make the decision yourself."

Mu Yingbao didn't think much about it, but throughout the dynasties, he was probably the only emperor like Brother Hui.

The one who served him closely was just a stone. When he first ascended the throne, the young eunuch chosen by the Imperial Clan Hall could only follow him in places other than the Yangxin Palace.

Mu Yingbao felt that she and Xue Wenyu would have to leave the palace sooner or later, and it was impossible for her to stay with him forever.

Then, you need to select a few reliable people around your child in advance.

Although Mu Yingbao has always felt that in ancient palaces, men who served the emperor like his sons had to be castrated, this practice was very cruel.

The original intention at that time was to worry that the emperor had too many concubines and could not treat them all equally. Some concubines and palace maids would be lonely and unbearable and would do dirty things with the palace people, so the purity of the royal bloodline could not be guaranteed.

Of course, the origin of eunuchs is not just due to this one reason.

Mu Yingbao discussed this issue with Brother Hui, who said that since they were afraid of this and that, saying that it was inconvenient and unreliable for men to work in the harem, why not just use palace maids?

When this topic was discussed, Brother Hui did not know his true identity, and Mu Yingbao had no idea that his son would become emperor in the future.

I just brought up this topic when I was bored.

Now Brother Hui’s identity is inevitably related to the eunuch issue.

Regarding this matter, Mu Yingbao didn't want to force Brother Hui to do anything.

"My son doesn't need it, it's fine like this." Brother Hui has no plan to have anyone else around him.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't just care about each other. I'm already quite old, don't you think about adding a few people to serve me well?" Old man Tao protested.

Brother Hui was about to say yes, but he saw his mother smiling and knew that she would definitely not say anything nice.

"Want someone to serve you well? That's fine..."

"Stop, stop, stop. Shut up right now. You're bound to say something bad when you open your mouth." Old Man Tao knew his granddaughter very well and interrupted her immediately.

Mu Yingbao glared at him and didn't insist on finishing her words. He actually knew her so well, how could he still be happy with her?

Brother Hui was standing aside, eating and laughing. It would be great if it could always be like this.

Of course, Brother Hui knew very well that this was impossible.

He couldn't selfishly keep his father, mother, and great-grandfather by his side forever, but what he could do was, as his mother said, cherish what he had.

Lunch ended with three generations of people, young and old, chatting, laughing and bickering.

Just as the pound was put down, Shitou came in and said that Fang had asked someone to deliver a letter outside the palace gate.

Mu Yingbao knew that this was something that had been discussed before. When he opened the letter, he found that Fang had met and talked about it with that girl.

According to Mu Yingbao's instructions, I made an appointment to meet him at Mingxin Teahouse.

Although going out was a bit risky, Mu Yingbao felt that he couldn't invite everyone to the palace, and he couldn't stay away from going out just because of the slightest disturbance.

Fang told her son-in-law the meeting place, but had not yet set a time because she was not sure whether Mu Yingbao would be free.

Fang heard that Lady Yipin had admitted a mother and son into the palace for treatment, so she must be very busy.

Mu Yingbao wanted to go right away, but she remembered that she had promised Xue Wenyu that she would tell him before leaving the palace.

E

He had to accompany her out in person, otherwise he would feel uneasy.

Mu Yingbao is not a coward, he just doesn't want to cause trouble that shouldn't happen and could have been avoided because of his own willfulness.

For example, in some modern horror movies, even though people know that a certain place is unsafe and that terrible things have happened there, they still go there with a fluke mentality, thinking that it won’t be such a coincidence or unlucky enough to end up there. As a result, they end up in disaster when they go there and it’s too late to regret.

She also thought about changing her appearance and going out as a woman dressed as a man, which would be safer and more reliable.

But after thinking about it, he decided to wait for Xue Wenyu to come back before making a decision.

Therefore, she wrote a reply letter and asked him to take the stone out and hand it over to Fang personally, and asked them to wait for notification on the specific time of the meeting.

In the afternoon, thinking that not only Hui Ge and Xue Wenyu, but also Dongzhu and Xizhu had been craving for shepherd's purse dumplings, she called a few maids, carried baskets and scissors, and went to the palace to look for shepherd's purse.

At this time, shepherd's purse is the most tender.

So, the eunuchs, palace maids, and imperial guards on duty in the palace watched the first-rank lady leading a few maids and a servant to dig weeds in the palace.

If they didn't know that the treasury was now full, they would think that the first-rank lady was exposing

If they didn't know that the national treasury was now full, they would have thought that Lady Yipin was having trouble making ends meet.

"Yours is not that, this one is for you to sample, you can see the leaves are different. Look carefully, don't pick the wrong one or you'll get a stomachache." As for shepherd's purse, Dongzhu and Xizhu stayed in the Wenxin Garden of the Marquis' Mansion for a while, and Mu Yingbao taught them to pick it and make dumplings, so the two of them have become masters now.

However, Xizhu spoke even less today.

Looking at Xizhu, Mu Yingbao couldn't help but take a look at Nanzhu who was holding a pair of scissors with bright eyes, looking for shepherd's purse everywhere.

This is a very difficult problem. Don't let another one get in!

Mu Yingbao and a few others were happily looking for wild vegetables, but they didn't know that Fang, who was at the palace gate, had just turned around to leave for Wang's house after receiving Mu Yingbao's reply, and was being watched...
