Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 243 Coaxing
It is definitely a good thing for Daqin that Annan's rebellion can be put down.

Who made Daqin sit on the dragon chair now, a child with a yellow mouth? All the alien races around are ready to move and want to take the opportunity to invade Daqin.

"What Duke Qin said is reasonable, I implore Your Majesty to reward the three armies and promote the prestige of the Qin State." The Minister of the Ministry of War came out and said.

"Uncle Jin." The little emperor called timidly.

He was too young to understand anything. Of the four princes, the one he had the most contact with was King Jin, so he subconsciously called King Jin, not to ask for his opinion.

"The minister seconded the proposal." King Jin said indifferently.

King De also said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

King Yu glanced at King Qing, and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

Of the four regent princes, three agreed, King Qing's opinion is no longer important, and of course he didn't intend to object, "The minister seconded the proposal."

Rewarding the armed forces is not something that can be done just by talking, there must be a charter.

The little emperor should have asked his courtiers to go up, but he was too young to understand, so he huddled in the dragon chair, blinking, ignorant.

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

The former empress dowager and the current empress dowager wanted to take care of the court affairs, but King Jin and the others would not let her intervene.

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

"Ask your mother, Xiaodouzi has left the palace." Gao Yanyun replied.

"Going out of the palace again." The Empress Dowager frowned, wondering how things are going? "When he comes back, let him come to see me."

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

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

"Coincidentally, sister Hong, I also have something to give you." Xiaodouzi took out a rose red velvet flower from his sleeve pocket.

What Chunhong gave Xiaodouzi was a pair of cloth shoes she made herself, "Brother Dou, this is the first time I have made it, and I don't know whether it fits or not?"

"Sister Hong is so skillful, the shoes she makes must fit well." Xiaodouzi laughed.

"My skills are mediocre, as long as Brother Dou doesn't dislike me." Chunhong smiled shyly.

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

Chunhong bowed her head, humming shyly and coquettishly.

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

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

"Sister Hong, isn't it hard work?" Xiaodouzi asked.

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

"No wonder." Xiaodouzi grabbed her hands, "Your fingertips are red from the needle, don't they hurt?"

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

"Why doesn't it hurt? Fingers connected to heart." Xiaodouzi raised her hand and breathed on her fingers.

"Brother Dou, let go quickly." Chun Hong was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head.

Xiaodouzi didn't let go, but asked sadly, "Sister Hong, are you blaming me?"

"Ah? Brother Dou, what are you talking about?" Chunhong was at a loss.

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

Chunhong was very moved, and took a step forward, "Brother Dou."

"Sister Hong, I wonder how much silver it will take 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, so I don't know if I should be redeemed?"

"I went to inquire about it, and I believe it can be redeemed. No one will force someone to be a slave for a lifetime." Xiaodouzi said.

"The master in the mansion is very generous to our servants." Chunhong felt that living in the palace was better than at home. "When the little prince was born, the prince paid an extra three months of monthly money."

"Usually there are a lot of rewards?" Xiaodouzi asked.

"I'm not serving by the master's side, and I usually don't have any rewards." Chunhong replied.

Xiaodouzi's eyes flashed, "I've heard people say that the big maids around the master are more honorable than the girls in other families, and the master will give gifts to repay the contract."

"That's true, but it's a pity that I'm useless, I've always been a third-class maid." Chun Hong said sadly.

"Sister Hong, don't underestimate 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 have to worry about it. I want to marry you. Don't worry about it. When will I marry you?"

The blush on Chunhong's face that had receded once again filled her entire face, "Who said I'm going 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 hugged her.

Chunhong leaned into his arms obediently, "Brother Dou, I'm just a little maid, not good enough for you."

"Sister Hong, I told you, don't underestimate yourself, you are a little maid, and I am just a street trader with a low status, do you look down on me?" Xiaodouzi asked.

"Brother Dou, I didn't look down on you. You are so kind. I...Brother Dou, please help me find a way so that I can be a big maid." Chunhong said.

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

"Brother Dou, you are so kind." Chunhong hugged him tightly, not seeing Xiaodouzi's indifference and tenderness in his eyes.

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

Chunhong also returned to the palace. Today she rested, she didn't need to go to the sewing room as an errand, and went directly to her residence. After a while, the maid who lived in the same room with her also returned to the house.

She saw a velvet flower on Chunhong's head at a glance, "Chunhong, why don't you call me when you go to buy velvet flowers?"

"I didn't buy this velvet flower, it was a gift from someone else." Chun Hong said shyly.

Seeing this, the maid asked with a smile: "The one who sent you flowers was a man, isn't he your love brother?"

"I hate it." Chunhong didn't want to say more, but her appearance was enough to explain the problem.

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

Jiang Changning would never have imagined that this seemingly inconspicuous little maid would bring about a storm.

After Xiaodouzi returned to the palace, he went directly to meet the Empress Dowager, "My maidservant greets the empress."

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

"Going back to your mother's words, this servant has already bought a maidservant from Prince Jin's mansion and asked her to smuggle things used by smallpox patients into the mansion." Xiaodouzi said.

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

"Your Majesty, please don't worry, that little son won't live past his first birthday."

"This matter must be done as soon as possible." The Empress Dowager wished to hear the news of the death of the youngest son of the Jin Palace tomorrow.

"Your maidservant must finish this matter as soon as possible." Xiaodouzi also wanted to finish it right away. A castrated man no longer has that kind of impulse towards women, but he has to pretend to be affectionate to deal with Chunhong. He is also very annoyed.
