Chapter 8: I shouldn't fantasize about my dad

The emperor patted Xu Zhiyuan on the shoulder:

"Sure. I didn't expect this little girl to learn a lot of skills out of a misfortune. This is a good thing. Zishen is willing to let her go to the Ministry of Justice. If you don't agree, give me an explanation."

"Don't tell me she is a person from the outside world, who doesn't love royal power and wealth, and only abides by the precepts and rules. That's what monks do. Isn't it what Taoists cultivate their original mind?"

Xu Zhiyuan's face has turned bitter:

"Your Majesty, I really can't say it."

"Then change something you can say!"

Xu Zhiyuan: ...

After a while of whispering among the three, the emperor spoke:

"Then let her come to the palace tomorrow and let me see if there is anything she can't tell. I'll give her an official position then!"

"No, I'm afraid the emperor will want to chop off her head!"

"What you're saying is that she's my niece, it's not necessary!"

Xu Zhiyuan bargained:

"Three months, then I'll exercise and get some exercise!"

"Why do you exercise? It's only for a month at most, no more!"

"Oh! All right then! Then let's make it a deal."

Xu Zhiyuan got up from the ground, bent down and bowed to the emperor, snorted at Xu Zishen, and retreated from the hall!

Xu Zishen also left, leaving the emperor alone to watch the two walk away. The emperor sighed and sat back on the dragon throne. He picked up the teacup and took a sip:

"Eunuch Fu, I am fed up with these memorials. If I were to go to the palace to ride horses and shoot arrows now, would those ministers be like flies, making my head buzz again?"

Eunuch Fu's eyes were filled with heartache, but his tone was very official:

"Your Majesty, you should put state affairs first!"

The emperor picked up another letter and muttered:

"My father is such a fool, why doesn't he have more sons!"

Eunuch Fu was helpless:

"Your Majesty, be careful with your words! Your parents are innocent, and you should be wise as an emperor!"

After hearing what Eunuch Fu said, the emperor had no choice but to pick up his red pen again and start reviewing.

However, after reviewing two memorials, the emperor spoke again:

"Eunuch Fu, what do you think is so special about that girl? How about I go and make a private visit to her?"

Eunuch Fu has a big head:

"Your Majesty, the other party is a female relative. No matter what, you must review all the memorials today, otherwise there will be more tomorrow!"

The emperor blew his beard and glared:

"Look at the kind of people I have under my command. If there is a gang of bandits in the area under my jurisdiction, you ask me whether they want to suppress them. What? Do you think I am your advisor?"

"They are just small bandits, just kill them! As a great country, how can we be afraid of a bunch of small bandits? It's only because I'm not here. If I were here, I could kill them in eight hundred rounds with just one horse!"

After he finished speaking, he pricked up his ears to listen for a long time. Seeing that Eunuch Fu ignored him, he put the brush to his forehead and began to write furiously:

"I will go to the Queen's palace after I review the memorials and ask her to hold a banquet in a few days. Then I will ask the Queen to call the little girl over. Hey! He won't let me see her, I am biased!"

Eunuch Fu still lowered his head and said nothing. He only felt the white hair on his head bursting out:

It is really difficult for an emperor who loves to play, is rebellious and wants to be a general to become a wise ruler!

Fortunately, there is a prince, fortunately, fortunately!

Xu Zishen, who had just left the palace, rode a fast horse to catch up with Xu Zhiyuan. The people in the sedan chair heard the sound of horse hooves and opened a window on one side:

"I know you're angry, but you can't hide this. The sooner you bring it up, the sooner it's resolved. I'll have a good subordinate, and you can let her into the social circle without worry. It's good for both of us!"

Xu Zhiyuan sighed helplessly:

"I know, I just want to protect her a little longer!"

"Yes! I know, but you don't have to think about it for a month. I estimate that there will be another banquet in the palace in half a month at most. You should teach her more. It's best to control that mouth...brain."

"Okay, I know..."

Xu Qingqing, who was planning to go out to find something delicious to eat, had just stepped out of the house when she discovered a sedan chair and a horse parked not far away. Her father in the sedan chair was holding up the window curtains with his slender white fingers.

On the horse, Uncle Xu, with his neatly trimmed nails, slightly pulled the reins. The two of them lowered their heads and then raised their heads. The scene was similar to the last time they met!

[These two people are so annoying!]

[It’s broken, I can’t control it anymore, my brain is acting on its own again!]

The two were shocked. It was rare that they didn't quarrel after finishing the business. Xu Zishen didn't even say goodbye and rode away!

Xu Zhiyuan's face turned red and then black, and then red again. He didn't sit in the sedan chair anymore. He got off the sedan chair and walked towards the door of his house. Xu Qingqing greeted him warmly:

"Hey, Daddy, are you leaving court?"

Xu Zhiyuan snorted and walked past her. Xu Qingqing looked puzzled.

[What's going on! Dad and Uncle Xu are having a conflict? What's going on? You can't bear to scold Uncle Xu, so you're taking it out on me, right?]

Xu Zhiyuan walked two steps further away, his face darkened, and he turned around and called her:

"Where are you going? You're running outside every day! Do you have any money with you?"

"Hehe! Dad, I've had some new insights these past two days, so I plan to go out and gain some experience! I heard that the snack street has just launched multi-grain pancakes, which contain all kinds of grains, and will be very helpful for my cultivation!"

"Rich, my mother just gave me five hundred taels today, and I haven't spent it all yet!"

Looking at his little daughter with tears about to flow from her mouth, Xu Zhiyuan sighed, raised his hand to let her come back, and reached into his sleeves:

"Don't bring silver notes when you go to the snack street. Be careful of being robbed and getting hurt. Here! This silver note is given by daddy. Put it in your purse. This is ten taels of silver. Put it around your waist for convenience."

"Don't go to crowded places. If you see tall and strong people or those who look bad, stay away from them. If someone tries to rob you, give it to them immediately. Remember their appearance and tell Daddy later! Daddy will help you vent your anger."

Xu Qingqing took it swiftly, and was a little shy:

[This dad is so good to me. I decided not to fantasize about him and Uncle Xu next time!]

Xu Zhiyuan didn't hear what was said afterwards. He felt even more guilty because he received two hundred taels of pocket money and his daughter praised him:

"Qingqing, wait a minute. Daddy still has some more on the sedan chair. Wait for Daddy to bring it to you!"

Xu Qingqing waved her hand:

"No need, Dad. I have enough!"

Xu Zhiyuan felt happy and sad watching Xu Qingqing walk away. He thought about how Xu Zinian, that brat, had asked for money from him, then from his wife, then from Yaoer, and finally from his grandmother to act cute and make some money.

It was really that little daughter was considerate and knew how to save money for her father. It was really that she was a bad father and made her suffer so much. Otherwise, his little daughter would have been as talented as her sister.

While thinking, he looked at the butler who came out to greet him:

"Master Tong, have you found the guards for the second young lady?"

The shrewd-looking concrete official waved to the distance:

"Master, I have found them. These two are well-known gray areas in the world."

Xu Zhiyuan blinked hard as he watched the two people approaching. One of the two people approaching was at least 1.9 meters tall, tall and strong. The other was about 1.6 meters tall, thin and small, with a pointed face and a bad look on his face:
