Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

The little emperor in the imperial study was sitting in a frivolous posture. There was a memorial in front of him, and he had drawn a turtle on it.

Fu Yin stood aside, his eyes watching the nose and his nose watching the heart, pretending not to see anything.

Shen Huaixu walked into the imperial study quietly. Before he even greeted them, he heard a young man's voice: "Are you He Qing? Mr. He's servant?"

The name Heqing was chosen by Shen Huaixu at random. So she bowed and said, "Your servant Heqing pays respect to His Majesty."

After he finished speaking, she heard the little emperor mutter again, "The voice is so thin, like a little girl."

The face hidden under the mask finally showed some fluctuations at this time, and Fu Yin asked: "I wonder why His Majesty summoned her here?"

The little emperor then remembered his intention and looked at Shen Huaixu with bright eyes, "Little book boy, let me ask you, can you fly like your master?"

Before Shen Huaixu could answer, Fu Yin, who was standing quietly beside him, said, "Your Majesty, He Qing is just an ordinary person."

The young emperor's eyes wandered between Fu Yin and Shen Huaixu for a moment, and he didn't know what he was thinking of, and he showed a faint smile: "Mr. He, don't worry, I'm just asking casually. Even if the little book boy can fly, I won't joke about my own safety."

He looked at the little book boy again, "Little book boy, how old are you?"

Fu Yin couldn't help but frown again, but before he could speak, Shen Huaixu spoke first: "I am just eleven years old this year."

Her voice was not suitable for pretending to be a boy, and it would be more appropriate to be younger. Obviously, the little emperor was very curious about He Yin, and as He Yin's servant, the younger she was, the easier it would be to get close to him.

"So small?" The little emperor muttered. The curiosity and inquiry on his face faded like the tide. He yawned in boredom. "Boring. You, a little servant, are as uninteresting as your master. Forget it, leave."

He waved his hands listlessly, and his look of disdain did not seem fake.

Shen Huaixu only said two sentences from beginning to end. Sometimes he was said to be like a little girl and sometimes he was said to be boring: "..."

The exposed eyes quickly swept over the little emperor, and Shen Huaixu retreated without having time to think.

After Shen Huaixu left, Fu Yin wanted to follow him, but before he could open his mouth he was interrupted by the little emperor.

"Mr. He - since I respectfully address you as Mr., shouldn't you share my worries?"

Fu Yin suppressed his temper and asked, "May I ask what your majesty is worried about?"

"These." The little emperor pointed at the memorials on the table, as if he was having a headache. "In the past, it was the Prime Minister's job to write memorials. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister passed away, and I am not very proficient in it. How about you take over, sir?"

Unlike Shen Huaixu, Fu Yin ignored the emperor's words and said, "Your Majesty can learn."

The little emperor was choked by his words. He stared at him for a long time before speaking again, "Mr. He, don't you want to..."

"Your Majesty, I don't want to."

The little emperor seemed puzzled and asked again: "Why?"

Fu Yin asked bluntly, "Your Majesty, do you know how big the world is?"

After being stunned for a while, the little emperor revealed longing in his eyes. He had been confined to this small world since he was born, and he had never even had a good tour of Xiangyi City. How could he know how big the world was?

What a shitty emperor, he is just a frog in a well, the little emperor thought angrily.

"I know." Without waiting for his answer, Fu Yin spoke on his own.

Hearing this, the little emperor suddenly smiled, "Mr. He has wings to fly, and the world is so big that you can fly freely. It is reasonable for you to look down on this small piece of land in Nanxia."

It was unknown when the young emperor and Fu Yin were the only ones left in the imperial study. The young emperor's gaze was fixed on one place, and he stopped smiling, as if thinking about something.

At this moment, he didn't look like a teenager, but like an emperor who had experienced many ups and downs.

He leaned back against the dragon chair and whispered, "Mr. He, you don't know. When my father was the regent, although I was disappointed, I knew to keep a low profile and wait for the right time, so that I could regain power and maintain the glory of the Wei family. But since you appeared, I suddenly don't think so.

I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you. I've never liked being restrained since I was a child. I was naughty when I was young and tried to escape from the palace many times to seek temporary freedom, but I failed. Now it's different. Your appearance has rekindled this idea in me. I thought, if you want this world, I will give it to you. I never thought that you would disdain the supreme power that everyone is vying for. It's really ironic."

Fu Yin seemed to have not noticed the complicated meaning in the little emperor's words. His expression behind the mask became even colder. "I will not stay in Nanxia for too long. Your Majesty, please don't be upset."

The little emperor burst into laughter, and then he asked, "Sir, do you have to go?"

"Your Majesty, yes."

"Okay." The little emperor stood up. "When you leave, I will personally go to see you off. The Southern Xia Kingdom will always be open to you."

When Shen Huaixu and Fu Yin met again, they just looked at each other without saying anything.

After returning to his own territory, Shen Huaixu learned from Fu Yin what the little emperor said after she left.

Shen Huaixu thought about it carefully and couldn't help but laugh, "The little emperor is quite smart. His words are half true and half false, making it hard to tell whether he is sincere or not. If his father had taught him well, Nanxia might have risen in his hands."

Fu Yin felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. The little emperor was thinking about quitting his job all day long, so how could he deserve such praise?

His upbringing made him only able to criticize in his heart but not to speak ill of others.

He responded dryly, "Oh."

"Since we have already made it clear to the little emperor, we might as well take this opportunity to leave Nanxia." Shen Huaixu had no objection to this.

She has been away from home for long enough. Although she has been sending letters to her, they are not as good as face-to-face greetings. It is time to go back and visit.

only……

General Fuyin is dead.

She was worried, but she didn't hear Fu Yin's answer for a long time. The man lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, so she asked again, "How about setting off in three days?"

"How about the day after tomorrow?"

"...Are you in a hurry?" Shen Huaixu still wanted to buy some insect sets or other specialties for Jiang Wei and the others to see. How could one day be enough?

"...No rush." ​​Fu Yin shook his head slightly with an expressionless face.

He just suddenly remembered that the little emperor was about the same age as the current Shen Huaixu, and there was a bad custom of marriage between two countries in this world, so he imagined some bad things and felt that the sooner he left, the better.

Shen Huaixu didn't think much about it and said, "We will return to Beijing in three days. It's settled."
