Chapter 243 Coaxing

Annan's rebellion can be put down, which is definitely a good thing for the Qin Dynasty.

Who made Da Qin sit on the dragon's throne now, but a child with a yellow mouth? The surrounding foreign races are all ready to take the opportunity to invade Da Qin.

"What Duke Qin said is reasonable, I sincerely request your Majesty to reward the three armies and promote the prestige of the Qin State." The Minister of War said.

"Uncle Prince Jin." The little emperor called timidly.

He was too young and didn't understand anything. Among the four princes, the one he had the most contact with was Prince Jin, so he subconsciously called Prince Jin, not to ask for his opinion.

"I second the proposal." King Jin said calmly.

King De also said: "I second the proposal."

King Yu glanced at King Qing and said, "I second the proposal."

Three of the four regents agreed. Prince Qing's opinion was no longer important. Of course, he did not want to object. "I second the proposal."

Rewarding the three armies is not just a matter of words, there must be regulations.

The little emperor should ask his ministers to fold up, but he is young and doesn't understand. He shrinks in the dragon chair, blinking in confusion.

The King of Jin and the others don't need him to understand, they have to handle all the important affairs of the government.

The former Queen Mother and the current Queen Mother wanted to take care of the affairs of the court, but Prince Jin and the others would not let her interfere.

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she asked Fushou Palace to be furious, and then asked: "Where is Xiaodouzi?"

"To tell you the truth, Xiaodouzi has left the palace." Gao Yanyun replied.

"He left the palace again." The Empress Dowager frowned, wondering how things were going. "Wait until he comes back and let him come see me."

Xiaodouzi, who left the palace, was meeting Chunhong at this time.

Chunhong took out a small bundle and said, "Brother Dou, I have something to give you."

"What a coincidence, Sister Hong, I also have something to give you." Xiaodouzi took out a rose-red velvet flower from his sleeve pocket.

Chunhong gave Xiaodouzi a pair of cloth shoes that she made by herself, "Brother Dou, this is the first time you make them, and you don't know whether they fit or not?"

"Sister Hong's hands are so skillful, the shoes she makes will definitely fit your feet." Xiaodouzi said with a smile.

"My craftsmanship is average, as long as Brother Dou doesn't dislike it." Chunhong said with a shy smile.

Xiaodouzi said affectionately: "Sister Hong, let me help you put the flowers on."

Chunhong lowered her head and hummed shyly.

Xiaodouzi pinned the velvet flower on her left temple, "It's so pretty."

Chun Hong pursed her lips and smiled, even the roots of her ears turned red.

"Sister Hong, is it hard to work?" Xiaodouzi asked.

"It's almost the end of the year and I'm a little busy making new clothes." Chunhong replied.

"No wonder." Xiaodouzi grabbed her hands, "Your fingertips were pricked red by the needle. Doesn't it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Chunhong shook her head.

"How come it doesn't hurt? The fingers are connected to the heart." Xiaodouzi raised her hand and breathed on her fingers.

"Brother Dou, please let go." Chunhong was so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her head.

Xiaodouzi did not let go, but asked sadly: "Sister Hong, are you blaming me?"

"Ah? Brother Dou, what did you say?" Chunhong was confused.

"Sister Hong, just wait, I will definitely save enough money to redeem your life." Xiaodouzi vowed.

Chunhong was so moved that she took a step forward and said, "Brother Dou."

"Sister Hong, I wonder how much money it will cost to redeem you?" Xiaodouzi asked.

Chunhong bit the corner of her lower lip, "I don't know either. My parents sold me to Sinufang. I am an official slave, and I don't know if I can be redeemed?"

"I'm going to inquire about it. I believe it can be redeemed. No one forces someone to be a slave for life." Xiaodouzi said.

"The master in the palace is very generous to our servants." Chunhong felt that living in the palace was better than at home. "When the young prince was born, the prince received three more months of monthly payment."

"Do you usually give a lot of rewards?" Xiaodouzi asked.

"I am not serving the master, and I don't usually reward him." Chunhong replied.

Xiaodouzi's eyes flashed, "I heard from people that the maids around the master are more noble than the girls of ordinary families, and the master will also give gifts in return for the deeds."

"That's true. It's a pity that I'm useless and have always been a third-class maid." Chunhong said sadly.

"Sister Hong, don't belittle yourself. In my opinion, you just haven't found a good opportunity. Let me think about how to help you improve your status?" Xiaodouzi said seriously.

"Brother Dou, don't worry about my affairs." Chunhong said.

"I want to marry you without having to worry about it. When can I marry you without having to worry about it?"

The blush that had subsided on Chunhong's face once again filled her entire face, "Who said I wanted to marry you?"

"You didn't say it, but if you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry?" Xiaodouzi pulled her into his arms and held her.

Chunhong leaned in his arms obediently, "Brother Dou, I'm just a little maid, not worthy of you."

"Sister Hong, I told you, don't belittle yourself. You are a little maid, and I am just a businessman walking around the streets, with a low status. Do you look down on me?" Xiaodouzi asked.

"Brother Dou, I don't look down on you. You are so good. I. Brother Dou, please help me think of a way to make me a maid," Chunhong said.

"Okay, I will help you." Xiaodouzi paused, "It doesn't matter even if you can't be a maid, I will definitely save up money to redeem you."

"Brother Dou, you are so kind." Chunhong hugged him tightly, not noticing Xiaodouzi's cold face and no tenderness in her eyes.

Xiaodouzi coaxed Chunhong for a while before sending her away. Then, he took off his disguise and returned to the palace.

Chunhong also returned to the palace. She had a rest today and did not have to work in the sewing room. She went directly back to her residence. After a while, the maidservant who lived in the same room with her also returned to the house.

She saw an extra velvet flower on Chunhong's head at a glance, "Chunhong, why didn't you call me when you went to buy a velvet flower?"

"I didn't buy this velvet flower, it was given by someone else." Chunhong said shyly.

When the maid saw this, she asked with a smile: "The person who gave you the flowers is a man, isn't he your lover brother?"

"Disgusting." Chunhong refused to say more, but her look spoke volumes.

A little maid met a man outside and fell in love with him. Such a trivial matter would not be reported to the master.

Jiang Changning would never have thought that this seemingly inconspicuous little maid would cause a disturbance.

After Xiaodouzi returned to the palace, he went directly to meet the Empress Dowager and said, "My slave, please pay your respects to your Majesty."

"You're back, how are things going?"

"Reply to my wife, I have bribed a maid in the Jin Palace and asked her to smuggle things used by smallpox patients into the palace." Xiaodouzi said.

The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction, "This is a good idea."

"Please don't worry, Madam, the young prince will not survive until his first birthday."

"This matter must be done as soon as possible." The Empress Dowager wished that she would hear the news of the death of the youngest prince of the Jin Palace tomorrow.

"Slave, I must get this done as soon as possible." Xiaodouzi also wanted to get it done right away. He was also annoyed by an emasculated man who no longer had that kind of impulse toward women, but had to pretend to be affectionate when dealing with Chunhong.
