Chapter 78: What can he, a man who has never even held a woman's hand, know?
Chapter 78: What can he, a man who has never even held a woman's hand, know?
After Hui Chengyuan sent the letter, he went to his private vault and stayed there for nearly two hours before coming out. He took out everything that the girl could use.
When the queen learned about it, she immediately went to find the emperor.
"Your Majesty, does Xiao'er have a girl he likes?"
The emperor looked at her and asked, "Didn't I tell you?"
"What did your majesty tell me?" The queen looked at him in confusion.
The emperor patted his head and smiled, "Xiao'er has a girl he likes, but he's still pursuing her. He said he hopes to get married next year."
"Really!" The queen stood up and turned to walk out.
The emperor quickly held her back and said, "Don't get involved. Let Xiao'er do it himself."
"He has never even held a woman's hand, what can he know? It's so insincere to just stuff things into her." The queen said as she walked out of the imperial study.
Before the emperor put down his raised hand, the man disappeared.
After thinking about it, he quickly got up and followed.
When the queen arrived at the Eastern Palace, Hui Chengyuan was watching the palace maid packing a bunch of things.
When the queen saw this, she immediately said, "Wait."
When Hui Chengyuan saw her coming, he felt a headache and asked, "Mother, why are you here?"
"If I don't come, you will never be able to catch up with the girl." The queen rolled her eyes at him and asked the maid to take out all the things again.
Hui Chengyuan looked at the newly arrived emperor and asked with his eyes, "Did you tell my mother?"
The emperor shook his head quickly, "I didn't say anything. I came here with your mother."
"What are you two arguing about? Xiao'er, come here. Mother will tell you which things are suitable for girls." The queen said without turning her head.
When he got closer, the queen asked in succession: "How old is the girl, what color does she like, and what hobbies does she have?"
Hui Chengyuan thought about it and said, "She is nineteen, she should like the color of green, and her hobby is... traveling around, does that count?"
The queen glanced at him, lowered her head and began to give orders, "Wrap this, this, and this."
"Oh, Ximei, go to my storeroom and get those two pieces of golden silk and green silk. They are the perfect color and suitable for little girls."
"And the jade headpiece, the color is pleasant and suitable for little girls."
The queen looked around and felt that there were not enough things. She glanced at Hui Chengyuan and said, "You have too few things here. They are all messy and few of them are useful."
Hui Chengyuan put back the tea he had just picked up and said, "Mother, I will buy more in the future."
The queen nodded in satisfaction, "That's pretty good."
"Your Majesty, I remember you had a pair of bright red jade bracelets..."
The emperor almost vomited the tea he had just drunk after hearing this. "No, if I take out the bracelet now, what will I give as a gift when the time comes?"
"That's right." The queen nodded without asking him for it.
She had taken all the good things in his collection, and only the bracelet was still pleasing to her.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Hui Chengyuan, and asked in a low voice: "When can we meet the girl?"
It would be better for him to give the gift as soon as possible, otherwise the queen would have taken out all the goodies in his private storehouse, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come up with a decent gift by then.
Hui Chengyuan looked at the queen walking back and forth and said, "After the matter in Kyoto is dealt with, I will go to find her."
"There's nothing to do in Kyoto. You can go there tomorrow and try to bring the person back as soon as possible." The emperor drove him away without any hesitation.
"Why are you suddenly sending something to her? Are you going to return those secret guards?"
Hye Seung Won nodded, “Yes.”
"I heard from Yuan Er that she lent all her secret guards to me."
"Things are almost done now, it's time for them to go back."
The emperor nodded, "Good girl."
"Then you can go with the secret guards tomorrow. Father has enough people here. I will arrange for people to protect your mother."
He has eight secret guards, so it would be okay if he gave two of them to the queen.
Now that Prince Duan has fallen, the people hiding in the dark behind him won't be able to hide for long. He just needs to pay a little more attention.
The emperor suddenly came up to Hui Chengyuan and whispered, "Xiao'er, the secret guards under Marquis Leshan are so powerful. When you see them, ask him how he trained them."
"You don't have enough secret guards. You need to train a group of them."
"Look at your father. He has few secret guards under his command. He has to think twice before doing anything."
The late emperor passed on to him twelve secret guards, and four of them have died since he ascended the throne.
The worst thing was that the leader of the Dark Guards, who was also the leader of the Dark Division, also died in that incident. There was no time to train a new leader at that time, so that later on, after the Dark Division's Dark Guards lacked their most important instructor, it became increasingly difficult for them to achieve great things.
The eight secret guards under his command were also old, and after he abdicated, they would almost have to retire as well.
Hui Chengyuan frowned slightly, but he also understood his father's concerns, and finally nodded, "Okay."
Whether to actually ask or not depends on the situation.
Moreover, he is not without secret guards. He has secretly trained some of them, but they are not mature yet.
He once wanted to ask the Black Prison's master Lei He to help him train secret guards, but unfortunately the other party was unwilling, and he could not force him.
The queen picked and chose and packed two large boxes before stopping. "Okay, that's all."
"When she comes and sees the people, I'll pick some according to her preferences."
"Thank you, mother." Hui Chengyuan stood up and walked over.
The Queen waved her hand and said, "I picked it for my daughter-in-law. Why should I thank you?"
Hui Chengyuan: “…”
It seems that she was his wife first and then her daughter-in-law.
Hui Chengyuan integrated all the information he had collected and handed it over to the emperor that night, and the rest was naturally left to him to deal with.
He just treated it as a day off and went on vacation to visit his future wife.
When Yuan Er learned that Hui Chengyuan was going with them to find the master, he immediately sent a message to Yuan Yi.
…………
It was past noon when Yuanman and his party arrived at Wangdong City.
I first found a restaurant and had a meal before going to the county government office.
When I arrived at the county government office, I found that it was surrounded by people.
Qin Han tapped the one in front of him and asked, "Brother, what happened in there?"
"Hey, someone came to sue Master Hu, saying that Master Hu took people's lives lightly and abducted women."
After hearing this, Manager Hu, who was being held by Yuan Yi, turned pale.
Yuan Man frowned and asked, "How is the trial going now?"
The man shook his head and said, "Well, that person was promoted by the county magistrate himself. How can he be brought down so easily?"
"If it were that easy, Master Hu wouldn't have more than ten concubines in his house."
"That Master Hu is such a ruthless person. If you take the person back to your house and treat him well, he won't make a scene, right?"
"But he just took them back. When the novelty wore off, he no longer treated them as human beings."
"Today is the fifth time that Master Hu has been sued. Seven or eight of his concubines have died."
Qin Han heard this and said angrily: "He is such a scoundrel, why do you keep him here, sir? Aren't you afraid of ruining his reputation?"
"Well." The man looked around and said in a low voice: "The master is still relying on him to make money."
"Why do you think the county magistrate would always protect a mere legal advisor?"
"And that master is still fearless and keeps doing evil things. Isn't it because we are all birds of a feather?"
Yuanman took a look at the man and found that he was a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar.
"Look at your attire, you must be a scholar."
The middle-aged scholar nodded and sighed, "I am ashamed that I have the title of a scholar but have accomplished nothing."
"Originally, I applied for the position of a county magistrate, but unfortunately my family didn't have the money to bribe the county magistrate, so in the end, the magistrate Hu bought it."
Yuan Man glanced at him and his thoughts were all too clear to him.
