Chapter 43: 43

The following day, He Yunhao, the second-ranking general, and A Marquis, arrived home on horseback after leaving the morning court.

He Yunxiao was waiting at the door early, standing upright on the doorstep.

When He Yuanhao got off his horse, he immediately ran to his old man with a big smile on his face.

“Father, are you going to court tomorrow?”

He Yuanhao dusted himself off and took the usual big steps of a martial artist towards the House.

“Go.”

He Yunxiao immediately trotted to follow.

“After the court, will you still go down?”

“Down.”

“After the court, going home for dinner?”

He Yuanhao stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at He Yunxiao, who was all smiles.

“You brat, you’re nagging so much today, what bad ideas are you up to again?”

“Father, what are you talking about? When did I, He Yunxiao, ever do anything bad?”

He Yuanhao was exasperated and snorted.

“When have you ever done anything bad? The fact that you can lie at home and not go anywhere is a good deed for the people of Yinjing.”

He Yunxiao patted his chest, and assured him, “Yesterday, I didn’t do a single bad thing yesterday.”

As father and son walked to the inner room, He Yuanhao opened his arms, and his aunt Zhang Jingxian skillfully changed his clothes.

“Not a single bad deed? Today, old Huang from the Ministry of Justice even accused me, saying that ‘He Yuanhao did not teach his son well and allowed his son to scold and abuse the sons of good officials’.”

He Yunxiao said, “That Huang Buren guy just needs a beating! What’s more, if I beat him up, is that a bad thing? That’s called removing harm for the people!”

He Yunhao said, “If only you really had the heart to eliminate harm for the people! What kind of ‘doing harm to the people’ is fighting with him over a woman? It’s just an act of passion. Also, your aunt has already told me about the 100 taels you spent on the cloth weaving in Jiangnan. You are willing to spend money for a woman, and you have never been so generous with your brother Chen Zimo! If the family doesn’t pay for this, it will be deducted from your next month’s monthly salary.”

One hundred taels? Wasn’t it a thousand taels?

He Yunxiao looked at his aunt. Auntie glared back at him fiercely.

He Yunxiao was very touched by the emotion.

Thank you, Auntie, for saving my life!

After half a round of words, He Yunxiao couldn’t go on.

There was too much black history, and if he continued, he would be beaten.

He Yunxiao simply said, “Father, please hire an imperial doctor for me.”

He Yuanhao said indifferently, “Are you going to die?”

He Yunxiao thought to himself, “As expected of my father, father and son really do have a heart to heart!

“Indeed. I won’t live long.”

“Oh.” Hearing He Yunxiao’s words, He Yuanhao was not in the least bit surprised. “Which piece of land do you fancy? Father will buy it for you.”

He Yunxiao:? Is this my own father?

He said without joking, “I’m really not lying to you! I’m going to die soon! Have you heard of the Soul Devouring Pill? You won’t live more than a year after you take it! So I consumed it!”

He Yuanhao said, “What’s the taste?”

He Yunxiao: “Not too sweet, a bit bitter.”

He Yuanhao: “Fine, a royal chef, right? Dad will hire one for you.”

He Yunxiao said speechlessly, “Father, I’m really not kidding.”

He Yuanhao changed his clothes, straightened them, and said, “Hold out your hand. Father will check your pulse.”

He Yunxiao reached out his hand.

He Yuanhao put both fingers on He Yunxiao’s pulse, and when he perceived it carefully, he was delighted.

The pulse was majestic and strong. His vitality was extremely tenacious, and his internal strength was not bad.

When did this kid break through to the eighth rank? He must have been at least a while ago. He had to have entered the eighth rank in secret? Not bad, he has learned to hide his clumsiness.

He Yuanhao was a man who had been through a lot of hardships, so he didn’t show any of his thoughts on the surface.

“Nonsense! You’re obviously in perfect health! What kind of imperial doctor are you looking for?”

He Yunxiao heard ten thousand horses galloping.

Soul-devouring pills. I thank you! I’m too healthy now! So healthy that I can only live for a year!

“Xiao’er,” Aunt helping He Yunxiao out just in time. “Go to the kitchen for me and see if lunch is ready.”

“Fine.”

The purpose of seeing the imperial doctor had not been achieved, and He Yunxiao displayed an exaggerated look by drooping in dejection in front of his father.

He was simply a zombie itself.

As He Yuanhao raised his foot and prepared to kick the man, the downcast, He Yunxiao instantly regained his energy and immediately ran to the kitchen.

“Master, Xiao’er, he’s really been doing quite well lately. At least he’s willing to talk to us too.”

He Yuanhao grunted.

“It should have been so.”

He then turned back to his room and rummaged through an iron box, opening it to reveal the very best tea leaves.

“Jingxian, you went to the palace today?”

Zhang Jingxian saw the tea and smiled, “Yes. I have an appointment with some sisters to meet the Empress Dowager. By the way, we will talk about the marriage between Xiao’er and Nanzhu.”

“That’s good. When I was wounded in battle, I was fortunate to have the help of Imperial Doctor Wei. The day before yesterday, I happened to get this tea, which is of good quality. As you are going to the palace today, give this tea to Imperial Doctor Wei by the way.”

Zhang Jingxian took the tea, pursing her lips and smiling. She knew that He Yuanhao could not face taking He Yunxiao to the palace, so she said thoughtfully, “Master, Xiao’er has not been to the palace for a long time, and I think the Empress Dowager would like to meet the son of the marquis.”

He Yuanhao waved his hand and said, “As you wish.”

Then he picked up his spear and went to the backyard to practice as usual.

After lunch, He Yunxiao accompanied his aunt into the palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

Of course, before visiting the Empress Dowager, there was a ghostly gate to cross.

Auntie’s friends were all ladies of various families, and they were not like the young ladies in bud. What’s more, they don’t care about the odd names that youngsters like He Yunxiao are naughty and mischievous enough to tune out. They were more concerned with practical issues such as whether he was handsome, useful and whether he was a first son.

He Yunxiao is a big sister killer in this respect, exceeding all requirements, and there are not many beautiful women who wouldn’t like him.

Mid-untimely. Just after two o’clock midday.

He Yunxiao and Zhang Jingxian boarded the Marquis’ carriage and rode leisurely towards the palace.

Generally, married women were not allowed to let other men on the carriage casually. Some very sophisticated unmarried ladies would not share a carriage with someone of the opposite sex either.

However, He Yunxiao was theoretically the son of his aunt, so there were no such scruples.

On the carriage, Zhang Jingxian handed the tea to He Yunxiao and said, “Come with me to see the Empress Dowager first, and after you have met her, you can give this box of tea to Doctor Wei.”

When he heard the words “Doctor Wei”, He Yunxiao knew that he would be able to see the doctor, so he said, “Thank you, aunt, for interceding on my behalf.”

Zhang Jingxian covered her mouth and laughed lightly, “What interceding? It’s just that Master wants to send a gift to Doctor Wei and asked Auntie to do so. Auntie couldn’t leave, so I asked you to help me.”

Hearing this, He Yunxiao suddenly said, “Auntie, the day before last, you applied medicine for me and used the ointment from the army. It couldn’t have been the same one that old dad put on the table by hand, could it?”

This time it was Zhang Jingxian’s turn to be surprised.

“Xiao’er, I can’t see that you have the skills to be a sheriff.”

He Yunxiao grinned, “Aunt, I have a large number of skills.”

Zhang Jingxian laughed, “I will see later when you meet sisters, don’t ask my help.”

He Yunxiao recalled a painful lesson from the past and hurriedly raised his hands in surrender.

“Auntie must save me then!”

The carriage could not enter the palace and stopped outside the side gate. After the guards at the gate had checked their identities, He Yunxiao and his wife walked into the most mysterious and majestic place in the whole of Qi.

In the side rooms on the outskirts of the palace where guests were received, there were already several gorgeously dressed, beautiful women gathered.

This was where the ladies had gathered to visit the Empress Dowager.

As soon as they entered, before He Yunxiao could react, his aunt Zhang Jingxian was pushed aside.

In his eyes, it was like a spring breeze passing through, and flowers were blooming.
