Marry a Duke

Unexpectedly, *** not only did not blame Fu Ran, but his expression was quite meaningful.

"This girl is smart, knows how to win people's hearts, and is clever enough not to overstep her authority." She had never tried to win over those who were higher in rank than her, as they were all servants of the lower level in the mansion.

If you have the intention to make connections, *** will definitely be displeased.

"*** is right. What she said in the Huguo Temple two days ago was something no one else could say. She should have been sold, but she resolved it by just reciting scriptures for a day and a night." Aunt Qiu knew ***'s intentions very well.

Once a *** reveals this thought to a person, it must be that this person has something that the *** needs.

Although Fu Ran is a second-class maid, she is pretty and decent looking, and perhaps she can be of use in the future.

"That's right, bring this girl with you next time you have a banquet." *** said.

Nanny Qiu agreed immediately and asked Qingzhu and Bihuan to leave first.

The two did not dare to disobey and went out of the door. After looking at each other, they were both furious.

"I noticed that Fu Ran was not like this before. How come she suddenly acted like a thief? Not only did she not receive a severe punishment at the Huguo Temple, she was even rewarded." Qingzhu said indignantly.

"That's right. In the past, when the princess wanted someone to take the blame, that person would be skinned alive if not dead." Bihuan didn't dare to admit it at the time because she was afraid that she couldn't bear it.

If the princess gets into trouble, but it is a minor matter, given her status as a princess, she naturally does not need to bear any responsibility.

If it is a big deal, it is a blessing for a little maid to be able to save her life.

Fu Ran had no idea that someone was gossiping in front of her husband. Ten days later, when her husband went to a banquet at Master Huo's mansion, she was also arranged to go with him.

Grand Tutor Huo was old and had intended to retire, but the Emperor repeatedly persuaded him to stay, so Grand Tutor Huo continued to serve the country at the age of seventy.

Today is the 70th birthday of Old Grand Tutor Huo. More than 80% of the civil and military officials in the court have come to celebrate, and the Huo Mansion is packed with people.

Fu Ran followed the Queen and the Duke of England, which was naturally special. When the royal family came to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, there were people who greeted them respectfully, and they, as maids, could also benefit from it.

*** and Duke Yingguo went into the main hall with Princess Ruhui, and only Nanny Qiu followed them in.

She, Qingzhu and Princess Ruhui's two maids were waiting outside.

That's right, they didn't bring a lot of people with them when they came today. The maid only brought her and Qingzhu.

Before going out, Fu Ran did not miss the vicious look in Bihuan's eyes as she was staring at him. What a joke! She was just following orders. He might as well glare at her instead of her.

The banquet hosted by the Grand Tutor's Mansion was also very thoughtful, and the accompanying personnel also had special seats. Fu Ran stood for a while and was led to the exclusive seats. Naturally, the seats for the accompanying personnel could not be compared with those of the main guests.

However, the dishes at the banquet were also very good.

Fu Ran hurried to eat his meal, for if his master had something to do later or called him, he would not be able to eat anything.

Qingzhu had no appetite at all. She was talking to Princess Ruhui's two maids, glancing at Furan from time to time.

Fu Ran turned a blind eye and ate until he was 80% full. It was not good to eat too much. If you burp in front of the noble, it would be rude and you would be punished.

There was an announcement in front that the Emperor had arrived, and all the guests came to welcome him.

Fu Ran also followed the crowd all the way to the front. There were too many people, all of them were heads, and she also wanted to see what the emperor looked like.

Qingzhu and others squeezed through the crowd along the way, and Fu Ran followed them and made a path.

The emperor has been on the throne for five years and is only in his early thirties. He exudes a dragon's aura and is extremely luxurious.

Traveling with the emperor was none other than the recently triumphant Duke of Wei, who was a few years younger than the emperor. He was dressed in a brocade robe, looking noble yet also a little cold.

Even when he looked back, there was a murderous look in his eyes.

"That's the Duke of Weiguo. He's really handsome. It's a pity that he has a bad reputation for killing his wife and children, and there's not even a woman in his mansion. Otherwise, if she became the Duke of Weiguo's wife, she would surely enjoy endless glory and honor." Hong Zhao said.

Hongxiu pushed her at this time.

"Don't let the princess hear this."

Hong Zhao immediately covered her mouth. She almost forgot that the princess liked the Duke of Weiguo. She felt that ordinary men were too weak and not tough at all.

Only someone like the Duke of Wei is a real man.

The princess approached the emperor several times, asking him to arrange this marriage for her, but was rejected every time.

The Duke of Wei was nearly thirty years old, while the princess was only sixteen, a full twelve years age difference. Not only that, but the princess also disliked the Duke of Wei to begin with.

Fu Ran stared with his eyes wide open the whole time. That's right, he was absolutely right. The person he met in the Huguo Temple last time was the Duke of Weiguo. Today, his face was ruddy, not as pale as before.

From a distance, Bi'an saw Fu Ran's silly look with his eyes wide open. He frowned and glanced at his master in front of him.

That day, the master did not avoid letting the girl see her, and did not take her life afterwards.

I wasn't afraid of this girl telling ***.

Fu Ran also saw Bi'an, she immediately retracted her gaze, covered her mouth and lowered her head.

Don't look at it, these powerful people kill people at will. Maybe just one glance will make them want to kill.

The emperor and his entourage entered the main hall, and the others dispersed and continued to take their seats. Fu Ran had lost his appetite and felt a chill on his back.

It was not easy for her to hide in a remote place. If the emperor summoned her for something and couldn't find her, she would still be punished.

She had no choice but to try hard to hide herself behind Qingzhu and the other three.

Qingzhu had always disliked her, and when he saw her cowardly look, he almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

It was Grand Tutor Huo’s birthday banquet, and the Emperor had ordered people from the Ministry of Rites to prepare for it together with the Huo family, so it was an exceptionally grand affair.

Men can play pitch pot in the front yard, while women can enjoy flowers and watch plays in the back yard.

The other female members of the family naturally sat at the table in the backyard. Only because she was an extraordinary person could she celebrate the birthday of Grand Tutor Huo in the front yard with all the civil officials.

The emperor left after staying for a while. He was the ruler of a country, and no one would have a good time if he stayed here.

The Duke of Weiguo was still talking to Master Huo.

Princess Ruhui stayed in the main hall for a while and then came out. The topic at the moment was something she couldn't understand, and she had no interest in it at all.

If Duke Weiguo had not been here, she would have left long ago.

"You guys, accompany me to the backyard to meet the female relatives." Princess Ruhui took her personal maid and Qingzhu away.

And he looked at Fu Ran with disdain.

"You don't have to follow."

Fu Ran agreed. She didn't want to follow in the first place. Who knew if the princess would do something to her today and make her take the blame again.

She waited outside for a while, and Nanny Qiu came out and told her to go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of sobering tea.

*** was in a good mood and drank a lot of wine. Aunt Qiu was worried that her body couldn't handle it.

Fu Ran followed the order, found the servant in the Grand Tutor's Mansion and asked for the location of the kitchen, and went over to bring him some sobering tea.
