Prince's Revenge

Chapter 37

Since that day, Zong Qixiu has not seen He Yaodu, and Donglai Hall has become Zong Qixiu's world alone.

He Yaodu is too busy, he is now the busiest person in the entire He dynasty.He waited in the Hall of Mental Cultivation regardless of day and night. He had to read the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physician himself, personally supervised the eunuchs and maids to prepare the medicine, and personally served He Dichi.He asked He Dichi to read a letter of the submitted memorial, and He Di Chi dictated it, and he would transcribe it, and after it was transcribed, he had to hand it to He Di Chi for review before using the jade seal.

He Dichi's body was getting better day by day, and after half a month, he was able to go to court.

The entire imperial court was relieved, but He Yaodu couldn't relax because some distinguished guests were coming from the north. His uncle Na Erjue and Bojin Songcang, the younger brother of Noble Concubine Bojin, were coming to Dayong with their daughters.The Na'er, Bojin, and Taiji tribes are the three largest tribes in the north, and their intentions are self-evident when they bring a woman who has not left the cabinet.And He Dichi handed over the important task of entertaining this time to He Yaodu who was not yet married, and all eyes were cast on the third prince inside and outside the palace.

The Ministry of Rites had just completed the matter of the princess's marriage, and this time they went to Fujian to lose several officials. They were in a hurry to welcome the royal family of Na'er and the royal family of Bojin, and they had to transfer staff from other departments.The Minister of Rites found He Yaodu, went with him to the Ministry of Households, and discussed the matter with the Ministry of Households. The Minister of the Ministry of Households introduced the civil servants in the capital to He Yaodu in detail. There was no radish, no hole, and no idlers. In a word, we are also short of manpower now, so we must transfer people from below, or work hard on your own to get through this period of time.

Then I went to the Ministry of Households to pay money to repair Honglu Temple. The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites calculated in detail the places to be repaired, how much money was needed in which places, and what things to use were both in line with etiquette and saved money. After He Yaodu complained, he even gave He Yaodu the details of the income and expenditure of the He clan over the past five years.

He Yaodu had no way to go to the emperor to complain, his father had been ill for so long and had many things to deal with, after much deliberation, the only person he could find was Zong Qixiu.

He hesitated for a moment at the entrance of Donglai Hall, and finally pushed the door open and entered.

The unremarkable sweet-scented osmanthus flower in the yard was in full bloom, and the yard was full of fragrance. Zong Qixiu was picking flowers with a small basket in his hand. When he saw He Yaodu coming in, he smiled at him and said, "It's just a coincidence that the prince came here. Helper, come, help me carry the basket."

He Yaodu relaxed all of a sudden, but the voice of "Wang Ye" was particularly harsh.After returning to Beijing, Zong Qixiu didn't want to call him by his name again, and resumed the title of "Prince". In his words, he was afraid that it would be troublesome if people listened to him.At this moment, this tone of pretending to be intimate but actually alienated really made him uncomfortable.

He Yaodu took the basket, only to see that there was a piece of rice paper under the basket, and a layer of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers had been spread inside, and the small yellow flowers exuded an intoxicating fragrance. He asked with a smile, "Why are you collecting this?"

Zong Qixiu said excitedly: "Make some sweet-scented osmanthus honey and save it for winter."

He Yaodu said casually: "Just let the imperial dining room do it, and you can do it yourself."

Zong Qixiu said with a smile: "Mr. Meng is from Suzhou. He makes sweet-scented osmanthus honey every autumn. He tells us who works the hardest and rewards the sweet-scented osmanthus honey during the Chinese New Year. But every New Year, the three of us can receive a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus honey." Jar. After my husband went, there was no sweet-scented osmanthus in my yard, and I haven’t made it for several years, so my mouth is so hungry.”

He Yaodu didn't know what to say, seeing him mentioning Mr. Meng, he couldn't open his mouth about the matter he wanted to discuss with him.

An osmanthus tree with not lush branches and leaves, most of the flowers were picked, but only half of the basket, Zong Qixiu carried the basket in satisfaction, and said to He Yaodu: "Osmanthus fragrans can be used while they are fresh, I will go back first."

He Yaodu stood in the yard in a daze, came for a long time, and then went back helplessly.

Half a month later, the two princes brought their noble princesses to Dayong, and He Yaodu went to the North City Gate to greet them in person on behalf of He Dichi.At noon, the two princes were received at Honglu Temple, while the princess had already been escorted into the palace and received by the harem in person.

Naerjue was just like his older sister, with a broad face and narrow eyes, loud voice, and no smile. Bojin Songcang stood next to him, a full head shorter than him.

After Na'erjue looked at He Yaodu with satisfaction, he said with satisfaction: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and it's much stronger!"

He Yaodu pulled the two uncles intimately, and said, "Father has long been thinking about uncles, but he is too busy with government affairs to get away."

Bojin Songcang said with a smile: "Governing a country is much more busy than governing a tribe."

The three wentssip again, He Yaodu led them to the palace, sent the two princes to the queen's palace and the residence of Noble Concubine Bojin respectively, and then talked with his mother, stepmother and uncle.

His cousin Naerjin has grown into a big girl, round and plump, with big eyes staring at He Yaodu undisguisedly, until Naerjue coughed a few times, she turned her head and pulled He Suming hand and said, "Cousin, let's go out to play."

Na'er Wan hurriedly said, "Du'er, you can accompany Jin'er to the garden."

He Yaodu was taken aback for a moment, then he came to his senses, and quickly said with a smile: "Look at my brain, I almost forgot the business, my father ordered me to watch the dinner."

Na Erwan looked at him with a slight displeasure, Na Erjue said with a smile: "Du'er, go to work if you have something to do, don't delay the business."

He Yaodu quickly saluted as if he had received an amnesty, and walked out quickly. He Suming's voice came from behind him teasing Naerjin. He was very bored, and trotted all the way, running in the direction he was facing.

Before he had gone far, a group of people came towards him, and someone called him, "Third brother!"

He Yaodu looked up, and it was He Suyue who hadn't shown up for a long time. He Suyue brought her son Zheng Fuwei and a strange girl, but He Yaodu knew it was Bojin just by looking at the girl's dress. Bojin Xiangwei, the princess of the Jin family.His head exploded all of a sudden, and he saluted He Suyue: "Princess."

He Suyue came over and took his hand, said with a smile, "Let me introduce you, this is Bojin Xiangwei, my uncle's cousin."

He Yaodu nodded slightly, and Bojin Xiangwei smiled shyly, her face flushed.

Without waiting for He Suyue to say anything, He Yaodu hurriedly said: "Father ordered me to go over quickly."

He Suyue smiled knowingly, and said kindly: "Go quickly. Father must have something good to tell you."
