Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 475 World 835

Originally, if the emperor's message hadn't come, it would have been time for Tangyuan to set off. Now, the whole family is ready to go together.

In Yangliao, the newcomers promoted by Yinyin are all very capable, and she also invited Uncle Wen to come out of retirement to oversee things in Yangliao and act as a local tyrant.

As for outside Yangliao City, the couple took their child back to the wife's family home, and that was how they got things done.

The family traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently along the way, and arrived in the capital of the Li Kingdom before the deadline set by the emperor.

As a prince, Fu Yuanzhou naturally had a residence, but the original residence was not very large, and due to the perfunctory attitude of the officials in charge, it was not even as good as some minor officials' residences.

The Fu family hadn't been to the capital for many years, so it didn't matter. But when the late emperor passed away, Yinyin brought Tangyuan back, only glanced at the house, and then disdainfully moved into the Chu family's residence.

This matter was later brought up again, and as a major charge against the official who handled the matter, the emperor took the opportunity of punishing many corrupt officials to allocate the adjacent courtyard to Fu Yuanzhou and ordered his mansion to be renovated.

It wasn't that the emperor favored him; it was simply that the officials who built the mansion were too greedy, and Fu Yuanzhou neglected to maintain it, so the once magnificent mansion was practically uninhabitable.

Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, he imprisoned many of his brothers. To avoid being accused of being harsh and damaging his reputation, he used Fu Yuanzhou's courtyard as an example of how to show his favor.

So when Yinyin and Fu Yuanzhou came again this time, they stood outside the Yangliao Prince's Mansion and didn't recognize the place for a moment.

Since it was the host family coming to the capital, the mansion solemnly opened its main gate to welcome them.

As the family walked inside, a steward appointed by the court followed them, attentively introducing what each place was and how much thought had been put into its construction.

Tangyuan quietly asked Yinyin, "Mom, is this really our home? I remember our home was just a dilapidated courtyard."

Tangyuan was still quite young at the time, but that house left such a deep impression on him that he still hasn't forgotten it to this day.

In front of the steward, Yin Yin said to him, "We have to thank your royal uncle for this. He's the one who had our house rebuilt."

Tangyuan nodded solemnly: "I will definitely thank my royal uncle properly."

Upon hearing this, the manager's smile widened, and he added a few more kind words.

Although he never mentioned the emperor in any of his sentences, he subtly praised the emperor's achievements in every aspect.

Fu Yuanzhou immediately understood what this meant, but he had already benefited from it. Cooperating with the emperor to play the role of brotherly love would not only not harm him, but would actually benefit him.

After all, they've become like brothers, so as long as Fu Yuanzhou doesn't make any mistakes, the emperor has to be a good older brother and not cause him any trouble.

Fu Yuanzhou sighed, "Thanks to His Majesty, I was able to obtain such a fine house. After I have washed up, I will submit a memorial to the palace to thank His Majesty in person."

Tangyuan said from the side, "Dad, take me with you, I want to go and thank my imperial uncle too!"

"Alright, alright, I'll take you," Fu Yuanzhou ruffled his hair and looked at the steward, "Where is the study?"

The manager quickly led the way for him.

Yinyin and Tangyuan didn't follow along; instead, they quickly went to the main courtyard to wash away the dust they had accumulated along the way.

When they finished tidying up and came out, Fu Yuanzhou had also finished and was sitting outside.

The steward, standing beside him, replied, "His Majesty has been longing for the Prince's return. Your memorial had barely been submitted when news came out."

"His Majesty knows you have had a long and tiring journey. Please come to the palace again tomorrow."

Yinyin listened without saying anything, but it seemed unlikely that the people serving in this courtyard would be able to move around much in the short term. At least they would have to wait until tomorrow to see what the emperor thought before making a decision.

The next day, the family split into two groups, with Yin Yin going first to pay her respects to the Empress.

However, the Empress's son had only recently passed away, and although he mustered his spirits to entertain her, it was still not as thorough as he had been in attending to her every need.

When news came from ahead that Fu Yuanzhou had come out of the Emperor's palace, she also took her leave of the Empress.

After the family boarded the carriage, Fu Yuanzhou mentioned the emperor's intentions to Yin Yin.

"We can use that manager if we want, and replace him if we don't like him. He's just someone we randomly assigned."

With the information confirmed, Yin Yin could then go back and tidy up her home, placing people she trusted in important positions.

After all, Tangyuan will be living in the capital city by herself in a few days.

However, Yin Yin had something else she wanted to know: "From what you've said, the Emperor is quite kind to you?"

Fu Yuanzhou glanced at Tangyuan, who was sitting obediently: "It's not that he's kind to me, it's just that Tangyuan is bold and smart, and has won the Emperor's favor."

"As for me, His Majesty was not in the mood to talk to me much and just told me to sit down."

Yinyin found it somewhat amusing, but the Emperor's good attitude towards Tangyuan meant that Tangyuan's environment in the capital would be many times better than her father's.

She felt somewhat relieved, and the matter of Fu Yuanzhou and the other princes entering the Hongwen Academy to study was also settled.

Three days later was an auspicious day for studying. All the Crown Prince and the newly appointed study companions went to Hongwen Hall on that day to perform the entrance ceremony, which was the ancient opening ceremony of school.

After several busy days, Yin Yin finally had a break after Tang Yuan entered the palace.

Fu Yuanzhou felt sorry for her seeing how busy she was, but if she asked him for help, he could only sit in and keep watch; there was nothing else he could do.

Now that Yinyin has rested, he doesn't need any maids; he just takes a massage chair and massages Yinyin's legs and shoulders himself.

"Yinyin has had a hard time these past few days. Fortunately, Tangyuan started school today, so there won't be so many problems in the future."

“It’s not just about the glutinous rice balls,” Yinyin said, after receiving two gentle taps from the beauty, she pulled him to sit down beside her and called a maid to massage him.

"The accounts in the capital haven't been audited in a long time, so I need to take a look at the ledgers first."

“We never know when we’ll have to go back to Yangliao. It’s better to get things done beforehand, even if it’s busy, than to procrastinate until we’re about to leave and then find out there are problems with the accounts and we don’t have time to deal with them.”

He had only been in the capital for two days when he was reminded of the need to separate from his child. Fu Yuanzhou would be unhappy if it wasn't Yin Yin who brought it up.

But since it was Yin Yin who was speaking, he had no choice but to hug her and say in a sticky, affectionate way, "Let's stay a few more days. At this time of year, there are also red leaves to see in the outskirts of Beijing. Once you're done with your work, we'll go to the Red Leaf Temple."

"It'll snow soon. Yinyin, you've never spent the New Year in the capital before, so why don't we experience the atmosphere of the capital this year?"

Yinyin couldn't tell whether it was because Tangyuan was too young to leave home, or because Fu Yuanzhou couldn't bear to be apart from his child.

"If you've thought it all out, then do as you wish, just don't get kicked out of the capital by the Emperor in the freezing cold."
