Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Imperial Palace, Fengtian Hall.

Emperor Xuan looked at the sweater and trousers handed to him by the crown prince, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why is Xu Jinyu willing to give me something?"

Zi Shuyan gave his father an official smile. His father should understand what it meant.

At this time, Eunuch Liu whispered a few words in Emperor Xuan's ear, and Emperor Xuan sneered: "I was wondering why Xu Jinyu was willing to give me a sweater. In the morning when he went to court, he was planning to sell the sweater to make back his investment. It turns out that he was planning to give me a reward."

"Don't you always scold me for being stingy? Then don't reward Xu Jinyu."

"Yes."

Eunuch Liu said this and was about to leave the Fengtian Hall.

Zi Shuyan smiled and stopped Eunuch Liu: "Father, have you forgotten that Xu Jinyu is working on the glass? If you don't reward him this time, Lord Xu will never send any good things to the palace next time."

"hiss!"

Emperor Xuan took a deep breath with a toothache. Our Lord Xu can really do this.

When the time comes, Xu Jinyu will give some gifts to this and that, but won't give anything to the palace. Then where will he put his face as the emperor?

But Xu Jinyu didn't understand any of the explicit or implicit hints, so he could only tell her directly that Emperor Xuan didn't want to say to Xu Jinyu, "Give me some of the good things you have."

"Then give me a reward."

Emperor Xuan said this somewhat reluctantly.

He didn't want to give good things or money. As soon as Emperor Xuan's eyes turned, he thought of something that Xu Jinyu could only look at but not use.

"Send some valuable jewelry to Xu Jinyu tomorrow."

"cough·····"

Zi Shuyan couldn't help but cough. Precious jewelry meant it was expensive and heavy, and Xu Jinyu's hair, which had not yet grown back, couldn't be worn at all.

The next day, Xu Jinyu finally had a late sleep since arriving in the capital.

She crawled out of bed contentedly, and the maid immediately brought her a basin for cleansing her face and water for rinsing her mouth.

These maids were carefully selected by the Crown Princess from the palace, and will be Xu Jinyu's maids from now on. Of course, the monthly wages of these maids will also be paid by Xu Jinyu.

There were also doormen, cooks, coachmen...all of them were assigned to Xu Jinyu.

After enjoying the full set of services, Xu Jinyu sighed in her heart: "It's really enjoyable! No wonder everyone wants to call her a slave."

The next moment Xu Jinyu began to worry about how to pay these people's monthly wages. "I'm so poor! I don't even know where the monthly wages for the maids are."

The maid who was serving Xu Jinyu's eyebrows jumped and she almost couldn't help but raise her head.

She forced herself to lower her head again. The Crown Princess had only one requirement for the maids, which was to remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe. They were to be on guard against Xu Jinyu's complaints that would come at any time.

After packing up, Xu Jinyu, wearing a round-necked robe, was carried by Nanny He to the carriage. Two maids, Xihua and Minyue, also accompanied her.

There was the seal of the Princess of Zhengyang County on the carriage, so it had smooth sailing all the way, but when it reached the street leading to the Marquis of Qingyang's mansion, it was blocked in front.

Xu Jinyu lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that they were all familiar faces.

At this glance, Xu Jinyu saw several heads of the six ministries and several censors from the Censorate. Are they all off work? Today is not a day off.

Seeing Xu Jinyu in the carriage, officials who knew him came up and greeted him: "Master Xu, come to the banquet."

"what."

Xu Jinyu nodded blankly.

[Didn't the Marquis of Qingyang say it was a small banquet? Why are there so many people here? Or did I misunderstand? There must be so many people at a small banquet.]

The official who heard Xu Jinyu's thoughts smiled embarrassedly. There was nothing wrong with Xu Jinyu's understanding, but there were too many people who were curious.

After the court session today, at least half of the people found reasons to ask for leave.

My mom is having a birthday, my dad is having a death anniversary, the cat is giving birth, the dogs are fighting, the wall is falling down, the house is collapsing...

I've found all the reasons I can think of, just to watch today's excitement.

If His Majesty hadn't dragged his feet, the six ministers and the left and right prime ministers would have found reasons to ask for leave to come and watch the fun.

At the gate of the Qingyang Marquis's Mansion,

Marquis Qingyang greeted his colleagues with an unpleasant expression, he really wanted to drive them out!

Is the liveliness in their house so beautiful?

However, facing the official who came to his door with a smile, Marquis Qingyang could not bring himself to drive the official away, so he could only solemnly order a few more tables for the banquet from the restaurant.

“No, no…”

"We all came after dinner."

We are here to watch the fun, so there is no need to entertain us specially.

·····

The official who came to our door was very understanding.

Xu Jinyu followed the crowd into the mansion of Marquis Qingyang. As soon as he entered the mansion, he was taken to the backyard. As for the officials who came to watch the fun, they were taken to the front yard.

A Ministry of Revenue official clapped his hands and said, "I was careless. I forgot that Lady Xu is a woman."

Xu Jinyu has been doing so many things these days that everyone has forgotten that Xu Jinyu is a woman.

The separation between men and women in Daqian is quite strict, and banquets like this are usually separated for men and women, and only children under the age of seven are allowed into the backyard.

"If I had known, I should have brought my wife and children with me. I can't hear but I can listen to my wife repeating it."

As the adult expressed his regret, another voice was heard outside.

"The third prince has arrived!"

"The fourth prince is here!"

After entering the door, the third prince and the fourth prince swaggered into the backyard amid everyone's envious eyes.

Other men were not allowed to enter the backyard, but the prince was a noble and was not included.

The one who greeted Xu Jinyu was the next wife of the Marquis of Qingyang, now the Crown Prince's wife. This Crown Prince's wife looked to be in her thirties, and when she saw Xu Jinyu, she smiled so much that her face almost blossomed.

She grabbed Xu Jinyu's hand and offered her compliments without asking for money: "Ms. Xu is really young and promising. As a woman, she became the first female official in Daqian. She is really a role model for us women."

Xu Jinyu blushed at the straightforward compliment.

"Where? Where?"

"If my daughter had half of your ability, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. But she..."

This standard compliment made Xu Jinyu feel full of sympathy for the innocently implicated eldest daughter of the Marquis of Qingyang.

The Crown Prince's wife pulled Xu Jinyu all the way into the courtyard of the wife of the Marquis of Qingyang.

Just as I sat down and had no time to be introduced, I heard the announcement that the third prince and the fourth prince had arrived.

After meeting the wife of Marquis Qingyang, the third prince and the fourth prince sat in their chairs and did not intend to move.

The wife of the Marquis of Qingyang saw it and was shocked! These two princes were also here to watch the fun.

The prince doesn't dare to offend him, so let it be.

Looking at the two princes sitting motionless among the female relatives, Xu Jinyu couldn't help but sigh,

[Why did these two come out again? Aren’t they afraid of meeting the heroine again? 】

The third prince couldn't help but shrink his neck. The heroine was still afraid, but I decided that I would never get close to women in the future.

Upon hearing Xu Jinyu's inner voice, the female members of the Qingyang Marquis's Mansion present were shocked. It was really like what the Marquis said, that most people could hear Lord Xu's inner voice.

If the Marquis hadn't warned them last night, they would have jumped in fright.

[Hey! I remember now, this Marquis of Qingyang seems to be the father-in-law of the Third Prince! ]

Madam Qingyang Hou: "!!!"

"The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Qingyang became the concubine of the third prince."
