These days, wives deliver to their door by themselves

"It's okay, they won't take your wallet away."

Well, since grandpa said so.

"...take it."

The guard's expression was obviously relieved.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Just as he was about to take the wallet, Du Wei reminded him again.

"...I remember it very clearly."

"what?"

Du Wei's eyes were fixed on the guard.

"I remember very clearly how many coins there are in it."

"Guarantee, guarantee that there will not be a single coin missing."

The guard wiped the cold sweat off his head, and then took the small wallet from Du Wei with a solemn expression.

Grandpa couldn't stand it.

"Du Wei, our family is not short of money."

Du Wei pushed the non-existent air glasses with his hands, and replied with a solemn face.

"You people don't understand the hard work of the poor at all, and you can't squander like this if you have money."

"..."

In fact, this is just Du Wei's superficial rhetoric. The small wallet that Sana sewed for him has long been transformed by him.

After synthesis with MC's storage box, small purses can be stored no matter how big they are, only limited to the type of items and the maximum number of overlaps.

You must know that the space props in this world are very expensive, if someone with a heart finds out, it will definitely be a big trouble.

Du Wei's words were just to scare the guard, so as not to cause unnecessary incidents.

"Then, that Marshal, please come with us."

"...well, let's go."

After that, they circled around the palace, and finally stopped outside the door of a room.

"His Majesty is inside."

"Well, Du Wei, let's go in."

After the grandfather knocked on the door, he took him directly to the door and walked in.

Looking around the room, the furnishings inside are surprisingly simple, the square footage of the house may not be as big as his room, Du Wei thought it would be as splendid as the outside.

This place looks like an office room, surrounded by bookshelves storing all kinds of books, and in front of the only desk in the room, there is a black-haired young man working hard on the documents on the table.

The young man's figure was very thin, like a bamboo pole. Although his appearance was handsome, his sunken cheeks and two very thick dark circles under his eyes made him look very sick.

Could this be the secretary squeezed by His Majesty the Emperor?

"Long time no see, Your Majesty."

ha?Grandpa just called him Your Majesty?Could it be the wrong person?How could His Majesty the Emperor be such a overworked social animal?

"Grandpa, did you admit your mistake?"

"Uh, I read that right, this is His Majesty of the Knox Empire and your uncle, Webb Knox."

"Even if you say that, His Majesty the Emperor didn't respond to your call at all."

Even though the grandfather and grandson stood in front of the young man and said such a long series of words, he still buried himself in the documents on the table and struggled hard.

That desperate appearance is almost like an overworked code farmer approaching the project deadline.

In order to attract the other party's attention, grandpa patted the table vigorously.

"Ahhh... It's official documents again. I see. Let's put it aside for now. I'll look at the ones I'm dealing with first."

His Majesty the Emperor continued to fight without raising his head, it seemed that the future was regarded as an official delivering documents.

Grandpa patted the table again and roared.

"Your Majesty, it's me!"

"Huh? So it's the marshal. What's the matter here today?"

The black-haired young man finally raised his head, he seemed surprised why the marshal came here.

Grandpa raised his eyebrows with dissatisfaction.

"Didn't you say at the end of the meeting last night that you would bring Du Wei to see you?"

"Oh... I forgot."

"..."

Is this guy really the emperor?I can't even remember what happened yesterday!

His Majesty the Emperor coughed a few times to relieve his embarrassment, and then turned his attention to Du Wei.

"Ahem, this is the kid, come closer and let me have a look."

Du Wei leaned over obediently, and when His Majesty looked at him, Du Wei also observed him.

How should I put it, the dark circles under my eyes are really heavy, it looks like I have been punched in both eyes, but the outline of my face is indeed somewhat similar to that of my mother.

"You really look like my sister, how old is this year?"

"Seven years old, eight years old after winter."

"Time flies so fast. I remember that when I saw you last time, you were as ugly and small as a monkey."

"..."

Can this person still speak?What does it mean to be as ugly and small as a monkey?Is the emperor's literary quality so low?

Wait... Du Wei understands, this guy in front of him is just a stand-in.

"Are you the substitute of His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Why do you think that? ... No, I can probably see what you mean."

The emperor began to smile wryly.

"In the mind of a child like you, His Majesty the Emperor should be a tall, mighty, handsome young man."

No, in Du Wei's eyes, the emperor of the Knox Empire should look like a bandit leader, plundering property and beauties from other countries, and living a life of wine and meat every day.

"Before I became an emperor, I planned to become an emperor with that image, but..."

As the emperor spoke, his tone gradually became agitated. He patted the table and began to complain about the troubles after taking office.

"Who knows that I have been fighting non-stop since I took office. After fighting on the Eastern Front, I went to the Western Front to fight. After declaring war here, I declared war on the other side. I also want to manage internal affairs well and be a virtuous king who is considerate and caring for the people. More importantly, I need a vacation! Vacation!"

When it comes to vacation, His Majesty's expression became very sad and indignant, feeling like a poor worker squeezed by a black-hearted enterprise.

"Your Majesty, please don't say this in front of your children."

"Hold, I'm sorry, did you get scared?"

Du Wei shook his head and said.

"It's really hard to be an emperor. I wouldn't even deserve this man."

The emperor and grandpa were stunned for a while and then burst out laughing.

What are you laughing at!Even if the chance of it being his turn is very low, then he doesn't want to work in such a black-hearted enterprise.

The emperor patted Du Wei on the head and hugged him to his lap.

"Don't worry, when it's your turn, there should be no new wars. I've been busy with the truce agreement these days."

On the official document on the table in front of him was Knox's official text, and the words truce could be seen.

"Do you want to stamp it?"

"stamp?"

His Majesty the Emperor placed a seal carved from rubies on Du Wei's hand.

"It just so happens that I have approved the last one, so I'll cover this one for you to play with."

Could it be that this is Guoyin?

Du Wei stamped the seal on the official document on the table vigorously, and it seemed that the stamp was crooked, so he stamped it again, and the result became uglier and uglier.

"Is that all right?"

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's fine if there is a cover."

Afterwards, His Majesty the Emperor began to talk nonsense, such as did you eat well, did you study hard?

Just when Du Wei was feeling bored, he suddenly thought why didn't he see other people?For example, his aunt is also the queen, and he also has a big prince cousin who is one year older than him.

"Where are the queen and the prince?"

Hearing his words, the emperor froze as if he had been attacked by petrification.

"...the empress ran away from home with her children."

"..."

Is this guy really the emperor?It's just a social animal who works overtime until his wife and children run away from home, right?

029 Other people’s holidays are often wonderful

"I, Du Wei, are back!"

A ray of light flashed, and he returned to the familiar Duke's Mansion.

"Welcome back, come here and let me see if I have grown taller."

Those who came to meet Du Wei were his mother Mei Ye and Edith, huh?

"Where is your father?"

The idiot father who usually clings to him the most didn't show up.

Edith shrugged.

"He's off to business."

What business is more important than the return of his precious son?

"Is it a truce?"

All Du Wei could think of was the recently announced truce.

"Although there are some reasons for this, the most important thing is the territorial issue. The expansion was too fast before, and many new sites are still waiting to be acquired. Your father was lazy and delayed until the truce announcement was about to be announced."

Edith's expression looked like she was saying 'a husband who does not seek to make progress'.

Seemingly unbearable to have Howard's image of the lord stabbed in the back, Mei Ye hastily interrupted the topic.

"Okay, what are you talking about to Du Wei, he's just an eight-year-old kid."

Mei Ye took Du Wei's hand and said with a smile.

"The family held a small welcome party for you, let's go."

...He is obviously interested in the topic just now, forget it, let's talk to Edith later.

"Hey! Emily, Karina, you are here too!"

As soon as he entered the banquet hall, he saw two small figures holding bouquets of flowers to greet him.

"Master Du Wei, welcome back."

Du Wei was very happy to see his friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"By the way, I have bought gifts for you."

Not to mention Karina and the others, he even bought gifts for the maids at home, anyway, it was paid by grandpa.

Du Wei bought a butterfly-style red hair clip for Emily, and when he saw it in the store, he thought it was very suitable for her neat short shawl hair.
