Yun Fu followed behind the servant a little uneasy, wondering why the emperor wanted to see him, could it be because he followed Brother Cheng Lin into the palace without permission last time
Thinking about it this way, he felt that this was very likely, after all, he heard that not everyone could enter the inner garden of the imperial palace.
Thinking wildly like this, he entered the palace gate unknowingly, followed the servants for an unknown amount of time, and suddenly, a figure bumped into him, and he couldn't dodge and sat down on the ground with a 'boom'.
"You are so brave. You bumped into the young master. Look at the imperial concubine and empress who will easily forgive you!" The servant's sharp voice sounded immediately, and he stared blankly at the opposite person who was hurriedly lifted up. The young man recognized the other party as Zhao Jin.
He got up silently and patted his clothes. The servant on the other side wanted to sell Zhao Jin, so he pointed at him and scolded him more aggressively: "Where did you come from, you can run rampant in the Imperial Palace ? Do you know who you bumped into? That's the nephew of Concubine Rui!"
Zhao Jin also recognized him at this time, and he was very proud to see someone speak out on his behalf.
The servant who led Yunfu into the palace had the intention to go forward and say a few words for him, but when he saw that the other person was from Concubine Rui's palace, and that the person Yun Fu bumped into was Concubine Rui's nephew, he immediately fell silent. With a sound, he took a step back invisibly.
No one in the palace now knows that the imperial concubine is the person on the cusp of His Majesty's heart, and even the servants of the imperial concubine in the palace are more respectable than other servants in the palace.
Mrs. Peng patted his son's clothes, and glanced at Yunfu with some displeasure. Although he was proud of the servant's flattery, he still cared that this place is the inner garden of the imperial palace, so he didn't dare to make mistakes, so he laughed. Then he interrupted the servant who stood up for him: "Eunuch, forget it, he didn't think it was on purpose."
"Madam Zhao is sincere and kind. No matter, since Madam has such a large number, you can just kowtow to Mr. Zhao as an apology."
Mrs. Peng opened her mouth to say something, but Zhao Jin spoke first: "There's no need to kowtow, I just need to apologize."
If Wei Chenglin knew about kowtowing, he might cause some trouble, and he was even more afraid that the imperial concubine would misunderstand that he was a domineering person.
Yun Fu frowned tightly, only felt that the people in this palace were so strange, he hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end, why it seems that all the faults are his now
The person who brought Yunfu into the palace finally couldn't help but uttered: "Eunuch Wang, His Majesty is still waiting for Mr. Yunfu to see him, if you delay any longer, His Majesty will blame you, can you afford it?"
The prince was obviously stunned.
Is this kid His Majesty wanting to see
Peng's mother and son were also stunned.
"Eunuch, let's go!" Yun Fu ignored them, nodded to the servant who was leading the way, and reminded.
"Okay, Mr. Yunfu, please follow me!" The servant bowed respectfully and led him to the east.
"Who is he? Why does Your Majesty want to see him?" Peng couldn't help asking.
"Wei Chenglin's side attendant is nothing more than a servant, not worth anything." Zhao Jin replied.
Mrs. Peng didn't feel much better, but the prince felt a 'thump' in his heart.
Was it from the British government
After all these years in the palace, he naturally wouldn't be so naive to think that if a servant can get His Majesty's order to enter the palace, he might have some background.
The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became, and he was no longer in the mood to please Peng's mother and son, so he sent them out of the palace, and hurried to find out what happened.
Before Yunfu came, Emperor Yuanyou asked him carefully about his affairs in the British government for so many years. He heard that Shen Xinyan treated him as his own and raised him meticulously. Wei Chenglin usually studied and practiced martial arts with famous teachers since he was a child, and he was full of emotions for a while.
"You married a good wife, Yunfu is lucky to meet her in his life!"
What Wei Junhang likes to hear most is when others praise his wife, he raised his eyebrows proudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!"
In the past, Emperor Yuanyou would definitely make fun of him, but this time he just nodded in agreement and said nothing else.
After a while, Nei Chuan came to report, only Dao Yunfu was waiting outside the hall.
Emperor Yuanyou hurriedly said, "Please hurry up." After a while, a young boy about eleven or twelve years old and dressed in indigo robes followed the servant into the hall.
Yunfu was a little nervous, his hands tightly clenched in his sleeves were already sweating slightly, but when he saw the familiar face looking over with a smile in the hall, he felt sure, and the tension gradually dissipated.
"Caomin Yunfu sees His Majesty!" He cleared his throat, knelt down respectfully and saluted.
Emperor Yuanyou stared at him closely, and saw that although he was young, his words and deeds had the bearing of a child of an aristocratic family, and his features were picturesque, especially the smile that he secretly showed to Wei Junhang just now was faintly similar to that of Concubine Rui. very similar.
"Come here and let me have a look." He collected himself and waved towards Yunfu.
Yunfu subconsciously looked at Wei Junhang, saw him smiling and nodding towards him, then got up and walked towards Emperor Yuanyou.
"Your Majesty." Walking a foot in front of Emperor Yuanyou, he stopped and called out respectfully.
"Come here again."
Yun Fu approached obediently, and stopped when he reached Emperor Yuanyou's side.
Emperor Yuanyou stared at his face for a long time without saying a word.
Yunfu felt uncomfortable being watched by him, and looked to Wei Junhang on the other side as if asking for help.
Wei Junhang waved his hand at him.
He didn't know how long it was before he heard the most honorable man in the world sigh and ask softly: "I heard that you have a scar on your shoulder, but I don't know why?"
"Ah? This? I heard from my father that I was naughty when I was a child and accidentally injured by a hatchet." Yunfu stroked his left shoulder subconsciously, then suddenly remembered something, and quickly changed his words, "Caomin is According to my late father, this wound was caused by Cao Min being naughty when he was young, and accidentally injured by a hatchet."
"You don't need to be formal in front of me, you can just talk like you are in front of the British Duke." Emperor Yuanyou said with a smile.
can it? Yunfu turned his questioning gaze to Wei Junhang, saw him nodding towards him, and then replied: "Okay, thank you Your Majesty!"
Anyway, Caomin caomin yelled loudly, and he himself was not very used to it.
Emperor Yuanyou asked him some more questions such as "what books did he read", Yunfu answered them one by one, and finally wrote a few big characters on the spot at the request of Emperor Yuanyou.
Emperor Yuanyou patted his head appreciatively: "You can write well, which shows that you have put in a lot of effort in your daily life."
Yun Fu pursed his lips and smiled shyly.
"You...do you still remember your parents?" After a long time, Emperor Yuanyou asked hesitantly.
"I remember. My father is a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded. He often takes my mother and me to all corners of the country. I have been to many places when I was very young. My parents love me very much. Ah, my name is Dad taught it, and mother gave it the name..." Yun Fu couldn't stop talking when he asked about his dead parents.
Emperor Yuanyou looked at him deeply with complicated eyes.
It is unfortunate that he has gone through ups and downs at a young age; however, being so 'unlucky', he has met one after another who truly loves him, such as his two adoptive parents, and Wei Junhang's wife.
"You are fine, and your parents are also fine. If your biological parents know about it, they will be very relieved!" Emperor Yuanyou sighed.
Biological parents? Yun Fu frowned suspiciously, his eyes fluttered a few times, and he looked at him puzzled.
Facing such a pair of clear eyes, Emperor Yuanyou lost the courage to tell him the truth for some reason.
The child's biological parents actually died at the hands of the royal family, and his direct aunt almost lost her life because of the late emperor's selfishness, so she endured humiliation for many years. As a royal, at this moment, he felt ashamed to face him.
Wei Junhang has been with him for many years, so he understands his feelings more or less. Seeing this, he sighed, stepped forward to pull Yunfu, and told him his life experience in detail.
Yun Fu's eyes widened, and he couldn't hide his surprise on his small face: "The scapegoat Marquis that Brother Yue said is my real father?"
Wei Junhang: "..."
Emperor Yuanyou: "..."
Wei Junhang coughed to hide the unease on his face, and secretly decided in his heart to have a good chat with Brother Yue after returning home.
"Cough, you kiss him, um, it's really unlucky. However, those things have passed, and he is now the court's loyal prince, loyal prince..." Emperor Yuanyou rubbed his nose awkwardly.
Yunfu let out an 'oh', then pursed his lips again.
"You, don't you have anything else to say?" Emperor Yuanyou couldn't help asking after waiting for a while without him saying anything.
Yun Fu scratched his ears: "Is the villain who killed my biological father dead?"
"Dead, I watched him swallow his last breath with my own eyes."
"That's good. If I have a chance, can I pay homage to my biological parents?" Yun Fu asked again.
"Naturally! You are a descendant of the Zhao family, the only bloodline of Marquis Zhongyi, so of course you can worship them." Emperor Yuanyou nodded without hesitation.
"That's good." Yun Fu smiled at him gratefully, and asked again, "Then can I go back to the house and ask my wife to prepare something for me?"
Emperor Yuanyou was stunned for a rare moment.
that's all? No grudges? No question? No compensation or anything like that
Wei Junhang couldn't help but laugh.
Sure enough, it was the boy Fu who he watched grow up!
Seeing Emperor Yuanyou staring at him with wide eyes, Yunfu was a little uneasy, and quietly hid beside Wei Junhang.
After a long time, Emperor Yuanyou burst out into a burst of laughter. Amidst the laughter, there was a faint glimmer of water in his pupils.
"Junhang, your wife taught him very well, very well..."
Wei Junhang smiled slightly, and patted Yunfu's shoulder appreciatively.
"Come here, please the imperial concubine!" Emperor Yuanyou called out loudly.
His own servant took the order and left.
At this time, Concubine Rui was instructing the maid in charge: "You tell them about the selection of Zhao Jin by the Palace, and ask them to choose an auspicious day to formally adopt Zhao Jin under the name of Marquis Zhongyi."
"Yes, I will go now, servant girl." The palace maid bowed her knees and stepped back.
Concubine Rui let out a long breath. In this way, she can temporarily settle down a major matter in her heart. As for the adoption...she still needs to study it carefully.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty invites Your Majesty to Zhengming Hall."
