"The great general I promoted personally, instead of making achievements and serving the country, he only thinks about marrying the emperor and becoming his son-in-law. What do you think of this? People who don't know would think I want to get rid of him!"
The emperor could say such things, but others were not allowed to say them. Fortunately, the emperor was still a human being, and did not want to embarrass Wei, the chief steward who was accompanying him.
"He is a smart man. There is no shortage of smart people in this world, but there is a shortage of smart people like him who can judge their actions properly."
He glanced at the light armor and smiled to himself.
"Prince Jingsui is also a rare smart man, but he is not as capable of letting go of power as Shen Mufeng. He kept delaying unwillingly until his Geng family could no longer hold on, and then they had to bow to me.
Since they have handed over the power of Zhecheng, I will not hesitate to give them another empty title. As for Shen Mufeng? The bastard is determined to do it, and I cannot stop him.
Forget it, let him be."
After complaining about many things, the emperor picked up the warm tea that the eunuch had refilled and sipped it slowly and leisurely.
Then he asked very calmly.
"Little Weizi, how long have you been with me?"
Manager Wei, who was bowing his head, paused for a moment, and then a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, I have been serving you since the first year of Yanping. I have been doing this for nearly twenty years."
“It’s been almost 20 years?”
The emperor sighed slowly, his old eyes showing some regret.
"You have been serving me all these years. I am afraid I will not be able to leave you in the future."
Manager Wei responded with a smile.
"It is natural that I, the servant, will always serve His Majesty."
The master and servant looked at each other. The tacit understanding they had gained in the past twenty years could not be faked. The emperor's smile this time was much more genuine.
"Don't panic. I will try my best to live a few more years and make sure that you, an old thing, can die of old age as well."
"Well, then I would like to thank my master."
Wei Zongguan also smiled sincerely, regardless of whether it was good or bad. After all, as the emperor's confidant, there would never be a day in his life when he would leave.
Not to mention that the current emperor would not allow it, even the new emperor in the future would not tolerate it. Living and dying together with the master, in fact, is the best destination for people like him.
Shen Mufeng's movements were always quick, especially when Chu Chi was involved, he would always appear randomly. Look, he entered the Rongchang Princess's mansion faster than the eunuch who announced the decree.
Jiang Dahei looked at his master's rare excited back, scratched his head in confusion, and nudged his brother with his elbow.
"Brother, what good thing do you think happened to our master? Could it be that the princess has come to her senses? Is he going to get married?"
These three questions in a row truly expressed Mr. Shen’s sadness.
Jiang Dabai, still expressionless, stepped hard on his talkative brother. Then, without looking back, he raised his leg and followed his master's back.
"Ouch, brother, you stepped on my foot!"
Jiang Dahei jumped around on the spot while holding his feet, muttering to himself, asking his brother why he just used those two big eyeballs as breathing space all day long.
"General Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
A question as clear as a silver bell, accompanied by an obviously suppressed laugh, sounded behind him.
The big black bear that was just running around on the ground suddenly stood up straight, tall and majestic, as steady and heavy as a mountain that people can rely on.
Enduring the pain, he opened his mouth to reveal the standard smiling teeth certified by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the black thief Jiang greeted the visitor in a polite, graceful and elegant manner.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your greetings, Miss Jinzi. What are you going to do?"
Jinzi lowered her head in confusion and looked at the very obvious footprints on the other person's big feet. This honest girl cleverly chose the next topic.
She raised the small bamboo basket in her hand, and her naturally cheerful little face still had a peaceful smile on it.
"Your Highness has been a little anxious these past two days. Yinzi said she wanted to go to the lotus pond in the backyard to pick some lotus flowers and leaves. Let's see if we can ask Chef Zhu to help make some sweet soup and cakes to help him get rid of his anger."
Jiang Dahei frowned, turned his head and looked around, but he didn't find any servants or maids. But he could understand it. After all, given Princess Rongchang's stinginess, she really didn't keep idle people in her princess mansion. But he still grumbled a few words in disapproval.
"You are the first-class maidservant beside Her Royal Highness the Princess. When did it become your turn to do such menial tasks as running errands and picking leaves? Could it be that someone has given you a hard time?"
"What did you say?"
Miss Jinzi understood the hidden meaning in his words and her smiling face turned into a stepmother's face.
"We, the four sisters of Gold, Silver and Jewelry, have a very good relationship. Stop talking nonsense here! They all have their own things to do. It just so happens that I have some free time now, so I thought of going to the lotus pond and picking up the things. It's not what you think!"
The days they are living now are good days that they never dared to dream of before. The four of them follow Her Royal Highness the Princess to eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy themselves. This is good luck that other servants would never be able to ask for.
Even though he was unhappy, Jinzi still bowed politely.
"I will not delay General Jiang any longer. I will take my leave."
Without waiting for anyone to speak, she stood up, picked up the basket and walked away. This girl was spoiled by the princess and had a bad temper. She even dared to show her disdain to a general. Anyway, to paraphrase their master's original words.
What are you afraid of? We have someone above us!
Seeing that he hadn't flattered the girl properly and had just patted her hoof, Jiang Dahei seemed to have upset the girl, and he felt a bit helpless and wanted to scratch his head. However, he was also a smart person, so he immediately chased after her with a big face.
"Let me help you pick them. No one knows how deep the water is. You're a girl. What if you fall into the water?"
"Don't worry, General Jiang. My girls often play in the lotus pond in the backyard to cool off. Tiger wants to soak in it all day long. How can the water be deep? I can pick them myself."
Jin Zi kept walking and didn't agree, but just kept walking quickly. But Jiang Dahei was thick-skinned and had long legs, so one step of his was equivalent to three steps of the girl.
"Look at you. Didn't I tell you a long time ago not to call me General Jiang Er? It sounds so confusing. We are so familiar with each other now. You can just call me Brother Jiang Er like the servants in the general's mansion!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they were rejected outright by the other party.
"No! You are from the General's Mansion, and we are from the Princess' Mansion. We are not working in the same place, so how can we call for help together?
Besides, you are an official and I am a servant, I cannot be so ignorant of the difference between high and low. If someone who doesn't know the difference hears it, they might think that the servants in our princess's mansion don't know the rules, wouldn't that bring shame to our princess?"
