Chapter 37

Qianlong did not agree immediately.

He seemed to be lost in thought.

After a long while, he raised his head.

He said, "Fine, then I'll let you run.

But this journey will not be easy at all.

You've suffered.

Don't cry to me. "

These words were Qianlong's way of showing his closeness.

But Ah Gui immediately said, "At least you'll be safe."

Qianlong smiled and said, "I'll send a few guards for you. If there are any changes, you can ask him for help.

Naturally, his subordinates didn't stop to rest and led troops to rescue you. "

Qianlong pointed at Ah Gui.

He Shen naturally hit the snake with the stick. "Then thank you, General Ah Gui."

"You're just in time." Ah Gui snorted.

At that time, he had already been conferred the title of General of Yili and was a glorious governor of the border.

Ming Rui, who was in the same court as him,

Had been in Burma for a long time without victory.

In a few days, he would replace Ming Rui and go to Burma under Qianlong's orders.

"This matter needs to be discussed again tomorrow morning." Qianlong said.

He Shen responded.

This was natural.

He could not go immediately after he said so.

There were regulations.

He had to come up with a specific plan.

At the same time, He Shen guessed that this time, Qianlong would probably wave his hand again.

Then he would put two more official positions on his head.

"Is there anything else?" Qianlong asked.

"Of course." He Shen bowed.

He showed an embarrassed expression.

Qianlong saw his appearance and immediately became interested, so he said to Yong Gui and Ah Gui, "The two generals might as well wait for a while."

Yong Gui and Ah Gui nodded. They were also a little curious.

He Shen touched his nose.

He said, "Didn't the Emperor say that day?

If I have a woman I like,

I'll tell the Emperor? "

Qianlong was stunned, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're an honest man.

Tell me, which girl?

You're not young anymore. It's time for you to get married. "

This kind of private matter was unexpectedly brought up in front of him, which made Qianlong want to praise him for his sincerity.

"The daughter of Censor Lin," He Shen stood up straight and said.

"Lin Ruhai's daughter?" Gui interjected from the side.

"Exactly."

Qianlong was slightly startled, but then he laughed and scolded, "You and Lin Ruhai are close friends, but you took a fancy to his daughter. Did you tell Lin Ruhai?

He didn't kick him out? "

"I did, but he didn't nod."

Qianlong smiled. "What do you think?

You're here to ask me for a marriage? "

He Shen shook his head.

Qianlong asked in surprise, "Then what do you want?

You can't possibly ask me to plead with Lin Ruhai for you, right? "

In fact, in Qianlong's opinion, this was not a big deal.

Regardless of whether Lin Ruhai agreed or not, it was already the honor of the Lin family for him to personally grant a marriage.

How could he refuse?

"Wouldn't that show that I'm not sincere?" He Shen smiled. "If he doesn't allow it, I'll wait for another day.

There will be a day when I'm moved. "

He Shen paused, and then said, "But I do want to ask for your grace. If the daughter of the Lin family and I like each other in the future, I want to ask you to grant me a marriage."

Qianlong looked at him with deep eyes. "You're a very affectionate person."

However, these words were not derogatory at all. Instead, they were full of praise.

Qianlong naturally did not want his favorite official to be cold-blooded and heartless.

If he was not affectionate, then wouldn't it be natural for him to not be loyal to him in the future?

"But you have to think it through.

Originally, if you took a fancy to the daughter of a duke or marquis, I could also marry her to you. "

"There's no need to think about it anymore. Before I came, I already thought it through very clearly.

If I have someone in my heart, then it will only be Miss Lin. "

Qianlong was in a good mood. He immediately smiled and said, "Then zhen will grant your request today."

"Many thanks, Your Majesty."

"Do you have any other requests?"

"Speaking of which, there is one thing …"

"Speak." Qianlong said generously.

"Miss Lin's mother passed away early, and there was no one to teach her about the inner courtyard. I want to ask the Emperor for a servant in the palace …"

Qianlong's eyes were full of ridicule. "You've thought it through. Alright …"

He ordered the eunuch beside him to pass on a message to the Empress, and let the Empress personally choose a servant to send over.

The eunuch was familiar with this and rushed to the Empress' palace without stopping.

"This official will withdraw." He Shen bowed.

"Why don't you take the servant with you and send it over yourself?

Isn't that a good thing? "

He Shen shook his head. "I'll have to trouble the Empress to send someone over."

Qianlong immediately understood. He couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You're quite smart!"

He Shen wasn't seeking credit for himself. He just wanted to build momentum for Miss Lin.

If he personally sent the servant, only those in Rongguo Province would know that it was a servant from the palace.

If the Empress sent someone to send the servant, it would naturally spread throughout the capital within a day. Moreover, the servant's status would be different as well.

The latter would naturally be more valuable.

"Go." Qianlong sent He Shen away.

He Shen then left Yangxin Palace Hall.

After explaining this matter, He Shen felt much more relaxed.

At least, it would be difficult to be hindered by external factors.

In the past few days, Daiyu had been unable to sleep peacefully in the cabinet.

"Is the charcoal brazier in the room too roasting?" Zi Juan asked.

Although it was already spring, the night was still chilly. Zi Juan didn't dare to gamble with Daiyu's body, so he still left the brazier.

Daiyu tugged at his sleeves. "It's a bit roasting."

Zi Juan frowned and said, "Then … then let's leave tomorrow."

Daiyu nodded.

However, she also felt that it was strange.

The rations in the residence were all stored together.

Logically speaking, the charcoal fire in her courtyard should have stopped.

However, for some reason, the charcoal in her courtyard was still being supplied. When Zi Juan asked, the servants only said that it was Lady Wang's orders. Miss Lin's body was weak, so she should use the charcoal longer than others. If there was a shortage, she could just tell them.

In the past, Second Aunt was also good to her.

However, Daiyu vaguely felt that it wasn't as good as it was now.

If she used to be treated like the other girls in the residence, now she was treating her better than the three springs.

When he thought of this, Daiyu couldn't help but wonder if he was thinking too much.

Just as he was thinking, Xue Yan came in and said with a puzzled expression, "Miss, Second Madam invited you to her courtyard to talk. Other than Miss Bao, the other three girls are all here."

Lady Wang was usually busy with eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha. She also had to take care of her son and discipline the inner court from time to time.

Thus, she rarely called them over for a chat.

It was no wonder that Xue Yan was puzzled.

When he thought of Second Aunt's recent attitude, Daiyu nodded and said, "Then I'll go over now."

Who knew that as soon as Daiyu left, the matriarch's servant girl came over to invite her?
