Queen of flowers - chapter 193

The eunuch chief Cai Qingnian next to the Emperor Chengtai nodded toward a young eunuch standing by the door.

The little eunuch hurried out, and soon brought in a man dressed as a priest.

After the Taoist came in, according to the Emperor’s instructions, he whispered around Yong Ruo meticulously, looked her carefully from head to toe, and swept her up, down, left, right, and back, then bowed to the Emperor, “Emperor, there’s nothing unclean on this woman.”

Yong Ruo looked at him more inexplicably. Are you sure? You just flicked the dust twice. Is there no need to pour some black dog blood on me, sprinkle some runny water or something?

The Emperor Chengtai nodded, “Please continue to rest!”

The Taoist retreated.

Emperor Chengtai said to Yong Ruo again, “This time, what do you want for your efforts in Lunan? As long as you don’t go too far, I can give it.”

Feng Liao heard the words next to him, and was a little annoyed. He should discuss this with Ruo Ruo first. But he didn’t expect that the Emperor would give Ruo Ruo public praise.

Yong Ruo thought to herself: What was the general boundary between “excessive” and “not excessive”?

In case she wasn’t sure that the request was too high, wouldn’t it just annoy him? If the requirements were too low, would she ask in vain?

She thought: This reward is really hard to ask.

“Thanks for the Emperor’s grace!” Yong Ruo’s mind turned quickly and blurted out, “There is one thing. If the Emperor sends Wang Ye for a business trip, could the Emperor allow Yi Shen to accompany him?”

Emperor Chengtai, Empress Wei and Feng Liao looked at Yong Ruo with a slight expression.

The Emperor Chengtai looked at her expression and asked loudly, “Aren’t you assured of Feng Liao?”

Yong Ruo nodded, “The prince seems to have a bad life. If a careful woman was taking care of him, everything would always be better.”

The Emperor Chengtai couldn’t help nodding, thinking: Not only was his life bad.

If Yong had followed Feng Liao, he would have no regrets at this time. What really was Yongshi’s precious life that cannot be met with vicissitudes and prosperity?

He glanced at Feng Ruo with a subtle look, and looked at Yong Ruo and said, “This time I went to Lunan and heard that you have suffered a lot. You are a weak woman, haven’t you suffered enough?”

Yong Ruo replied calmly, “Yi Shen lives and eats with Wang Ye. The pain that Wang Ye could eat, naturally she could also eat.”

The Emperor Chengtai groaned a bit, “You never thought about asking for some grace for yourself? For example, a better status? Or ask for some benefits for your family?”

“Going back to the emperor, the Emperor and Wang Ye have their own scales, why bother to ask for it myself?”

“Benefits for the maiden family are even more unnecessary. The maiden family was originally poor and relying on Wang Ye’s support, now they have no worries for food and clothing  and have servants. For the maiden, it’s enough.”

As for prosperity and wealth, if Yong Kun and Yong Miao had the ability, they would earn it by themselves; if they didn’t have the ability, it would be better for them to live.

Emperor Chengtai smiled and said, “You may not understand. Your father was a civilian, and you were the daughter of a civilian. If your father could have a five- and six-pin idle official position, he could also lift your birth, right?”

“There is a difference between a civilian home and a government home; the status of the children born in such households is also different.”

Yong Ruo thought: What does the emperor mean?

If he really wanted to give her father an official job, he would just give it directly, so why bother her and ask her for nothing?

She was not optimistic about the future of herself and Feng Liao. In her heart, she didn’t want to make the Yong family an official family, so that Yong Qiao and Yong Miao could experience the ups and downs of life. It was bad for their growth.

They now had food, clothes, housing, school, and servants, which was better than many people. If they wanted a better future, they could earn it on their own!

As for her child’s status …

Hehe, when she had a child, she would consider this issue again!

“No one knew where he came from, so why bother to make the Emperor embarrassed? As for the child’s status …”

She said softly, “At that time, the Emperor and the prince must have their own considerations, and they don’t have to walk around to worry about these things.”

The Emperor Chengtai looked at her expression, feeling that she did not seem to be faking it, and her expression was more subtle.

“Don’t you want Guangzong Yaozu?”

Yong Ruo said after a moment, with a stunned expression, “Guangzong Yaozu, isn’t it a man’s business? There are two younger brothers in the family, let them do it!”

“One was that the nephew was shining beautifully on the nepotism, and it was not beautiful in the end; the other was that they always have to do some serious things, so they don’t go around and cause trouble all day.”

She couldn’t help but tease: If the Emperor allowed women to participate in the imperial examinations and be officials, I would like to go to the academy and the official court to try and see if I have the ability.

Unfortunately, this was not the era.

Emperor Chengtai originally wanted to make things difficult for Yong Ruo, and give her some grace to make her grateful and share her peace.

When Yong Ruo said so, he really felt like he had nothing to say.

“In that case, you could step back! Feng Liao also goes back. I will give you a ten days vacation.”

Emperor Chengtai waved and sent Yong Ruo and Feng Liao out.
