Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 327 Children (1)
Seeing that Huo Yuan didn't seem to insist on resisting the edict, Emperor Xiande relaxed a little, and asked casually: "Please tell me, Huo Aiqing, if I can answer you, I will naturally know everything and say everything."

Huo Yuan looked at Emperor Xiande and asked: "Your Majesty, I heard that Mrs. Chu is very similar to my deceased wife. I wonder...is it true?"

Emperor Xian De raised his brows in surprise, didn't he ask the question knowingly?He said indifferently: "There is indeed such a saying. Why, did Huo Aiqing listen to some rumors and think that my wife of Chu State is your dead wife? I vaguely remember that it was your Changwuhou's mansion who announced that Mrs. Changwuhou Could it be that the news of his death is false? Or is it too unbelievable to say that people can come back to life after death."

Emperor Xiande couldn't help laughing as he spoke, and looked at Huo Yuan with a hint of sarcasm or mockery in his eyes.

Hearing this, Huo Yuan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, because these things he did made it impossible for him to even defend himself.

"Your Majesty is right, the dead cannot be brought back to life. It's just that I miss my dead wife too much, so I always imagine that one day she will come back to life and return to my side, which makes Your Majesty laugh." Huo Yuan said.

"I can understand Huo Aiqing's mood, but I can't agree with Huo Aiqing's actions. After all, people have to look forward, why bother to obsess over people and events in the past." Emperor Xiande said.

Huo Yuan was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Your Majesty...do you like Mrs. Chu very much?"

Although Huo Yuan knew that he should not ask any more questions, if he continued to ask, he might really anger His Majesty, but he still couldn't help but want to ask about Su Wan's situation, because he didn't know if he would see her in the future .He didn't want to leave regrets for himself.

Emperor Xian De's face darkened slightly, no matter what the reason was for the minister to ask the emperor about his woman, it was really too presumptuous and too ignorant of the rules.But after thinking about it, Emperor Xiande decided that it would be better for Huo Yuan to give up completely, lest he keep thinking about Wan'er and make him unhappy.

Then he said: "Of course I like Madam Chu, Madam is my favorite woman, and no one can take her place. I will always dote on her, put her under my nose and take care of her, let alone Anyone is allowed to make up her mind, Huo Aiqing, do you understand?"

When Huo Yuan heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help being stunned.

Your Majesty, did he say these words on purpose to make him give up, or is it simply what he has in mind?

However, no matter what, he did understand Su Wan's position in His Majesty's heart, and he also knew that his extravagant hope was just an extravagant wish after all, and it would never come true.

However, this is also good, at least he knows that she will always live well.

Although he still felt uncomfortable, he felt less guilty, and he... could feel at ease in the future.

At this moment, Huo Yuan felt that he seemed to be a little more relaxed, but also seemed to be missing something, his heart was empty and extremely uncomfortable.

But he didn't reveal too much of his emotions, and came back to his senses and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to accept the marriage offer. I was too presumptuous and rude just now, and I offended Your Majesty. I also ask Your Majesty to come down!"

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed to Emperor Xiande.

Seeing that Huo Yuan was finally willing to accept the marriage offer, Emperor Xiande nodded in relief and said: "Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference. I am already very pleased that Huo Aiqing is able to find her way back, so I won't hold you accountable. It's just a must." Two, if there is another time, both crimes will be punished together!"

"Yes, my minister, please remember, thank you for your innocence." Huo Yuan kowtowed and said.

"Get up!"

After Huo Yuan kowtowed again to thank him, he stood up.

Emperor Xiande smiled and asked Huo Yuan to stay and have dinner with him, Huo Yuan just offended His Majesty, but he didn't dare to stay to annoy him, Emperor Xiande didn't force him to stay, and soon let him go.

As soon as Huo Yuan left, the smile on Emperor Xian De's face gradually receded, and he murmured: "It seems that I have to advance their wedding date for a while, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Huo Yuan dared to take the risk of resisting the decree to ask him to take back his life, which is enough to see that he has not forgotten his love for Su Wan, and it seems that he still has a deep affection for Su Wan. This made Emperor Xiande unhappy, but also felt a sense of crisis .

The fact that Huo Yuan entered the palace after receiving the marriage decree, naturally cannot be hidden from everyone's eyes and ears.

The British government also received the news, and Su Yao's heart immediately rose to his throat. He really didn't expect Huo Yuan's reaction to be so strong. He didn't let go of his heart until Huo Yuan came out of the palace safely. But the next moment, he frowned slightly.

He knew his daughter's temperament. She already felt that she was wronged to marry Huo Yuan, and she was unwilling. If she knew that Huo Yuan didn't want to marry her, and even went to the palace to withdraw the engagement, she would definitely He won't let it go, and I'm afraid he won't want to marry into Marquis Changwu's mansion, maybe something will happen, so he immediately ordered to block the news, if anyone speaks nonsense in front of the second lady, he will be beaten immediately die.

When the British Duke gave the order, the people below were naturally silent and did not dare to utter a single word, and Su Qingxue was naturally kept in the dark, temporarily avoiding a trouble.

Su Wan didn't pay much attention to this matter. Anyway, Huo Yuan is a thing of the past for her, and she still cares more about what she will do in the future.

She felt that she couldn't stay at home all the time, and she still had to go out and see for herself. Only when she truly understood their situation, could she know which direction to exert her strength.

In the past few days, Su Wan went out by car almost every day. She personally inspected the inner city and the outer city, took a good look around the capital, and had a relatively intuitive understanding of the living standards of the people in the capital.

Although the gap between the rich and the poor in the inner city and the outer city is not particularly huge, it does exist obviously. Although the common people in the inner city do not live in a very rich life, most of them still eat Don't worry about wearing it.

The outer city and the outer city were added later and have never been planned. Most of them are winding and narrow streets intersecting with each other, and most of the residents migrated from other places, most of them are relatively poor, and.At this time, there are still many places in the outer city that are wilderness and cemeteries. Only the area near Zhengyangmen is more prosperous. After all, it is a commercial street, and many merchants live in it. However, the poor in the outer city do not have enough to eat. There are much more than the inner city, and the gap between the inner and outer cities can be clearly felt.

After a few days of real investigation, Su Wan realized that she still underestimated Emperor Xiande. He had already done a good job in this regard. When Xiande was four years old, he had already ordered the establishment of breeding houses in each of the five cities of Beijing. One of the almshouses adopts all the orphans and poor people. There are tens of thousands of orphans in the capital. They provide rice for cooking and two meals a day. Utensils, firewood, vegetables, etc. are all handled by the government. After treatment, the deceased was buried in a coffin.The amount of rice and cloth supplied every year is not a small amount.Not only that, all prefectures and counties across the country also have nursing homes.
