Ma'am, your vest fell off again

Chapter 415 Dismissing the Maid
"Okay, then everything will be done according to your orders."

"Ah."

Yinzong has developed rapidly in the past few years, and now it has a considerable scale, not to mention the net, but the most embarrassing thing is that it is difficult for him to gather them all in a short while, but there are so many steel armored cannons cast as a line of defense , there should be no problem.

The family and country are in turmoil, and the people are uneasy.

Li Junhao, as the newly enthroned emperor, was so busy that he had no time to close his eyes every night. Fu Xuanrong was afraid that he would notice his strangeness, so he simply used the excuse that he was not used to the palace, and took An Li back to the palace to take a break. .

Now that there is no serious master living in the palace, the maids sit under the tree eating melon seeds and chatting all day long, and their bodies are almost moldy. When they heard that Fu Xuanrong came back, they invited her to the yard one by one as if they had beaten chicken blood.

Under the scorching sun, Fu Xuanrong was lying on the rocking chair with a thick blanket behind her.

She half-closed her eyes, enjoying this rare comfort.

"Your Majesty, is it fun in the palace? Is it true that the roof tiles and the stones on the ground are all made of gold as the people say?"

Fu Xuanrong smiled, "Nonsense, if it was really made of gold, I would have moved them all back long ago. Where can they be piled up there to be exposed to the wind and sun? It would be great if they melted."

"That's right. Will the emperor have a concubine in the future? I heard from a few nonchalant servants two days ago that many courtiers in the court are urging the emperor to choose a talent."

"Hmph, they are really tired of working. The emperor is so sincere to his empress, how could he marry another woman back?"

Another servant girl was more conservative in thinking, and said cautiously: "But the emperor is the emperor, and the emperor should have a full harem of concubines. If he really only stays with his empress for a lifetime, wouldn't he be laughed at by other countries?"

"A joke is a joke, the emperor doesn't care about it."

Listening to the arguments of these maidservants, Fu Xuanrong's smile gradually grew, "If he really wants to accept a concubine, I won't stop him."

"What! Empress, didn't you say before that it is absolutely impossible to share the emperor with any woman?"

"That was in the past, and no one can predict what will happen in the future, just like I never expected that I would be a queen one day."

On top of that, she has few days left to live.Li Junhao is only in his 20s this year, does he really want to die alone for a dead person like her?

But when she thought of the man embracing left and right, she felt her heart hurt like being pricked by countless needles, and it was difficult to breathe.

"Your Majesty, stop thinking about it, the emperor is not that kind of person, he will definitely watch over you and live a good life."

Fu Xuanrong shook her head, reached out and touched the little girl's head, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

"Plan?" The maids looked confused, "Not yet."

"Then leave." She sighed. "I will give each of you a generous amount of money. No matter whether you find someone to marry or open a shop after you leave, you will not starve to death."

The maids were puzzled, "Mother, what are you going to do when you dismiss us properly, at worst we will also enter the palace with you."

"That's right, how could we be willing to have such a good master like you."

"Stupid words, they are all good girls' families, how can they serve others all their lives, while they are still young, finding a decent family to marry is the most important thing, An Li."

She called out, and soon An Li came out, "Your Majesty, this is what you want."

Fu Xuanrong nodded, and took the wooden box over, "Here is the contract of sale for all of you. From now on, you will no longer be slaves, but decent ordinary people. An Li, take these things Burn them all."

The maids never thought that one day they would be freed from slavery, and they all stood up with red eyes, "Your Majesty, the servants will never forget your great kindness."

"You don't need to say these words. Although you have served me for a while, I have never enslaved your guards. Tomorrow morning, each of you will go to the office and get the money and leave. Leave the capital city and find a quiet place to live. .”

"In such a hurry? The servants want to spend more time with the empress."

Fu Xuanrong closed her eyes tiredly, "I have to go back to the palace tomorrow. As a queen, I probably won't come out again for a year or so. I don't have anything to accompany, so go back and pack your things."

The maids kowtowed to her with tears in their eyes, and each went back to their own residences.

After dismissing this group of people, there are still some old nuns left.

The one Fu Xuanrong was most reluctant to part with was Nanny Gao. She ordered An Li to bring Nanny Gao here, planning to have a private conversation.

"This old slave sees the empress."

Fu Xuanrong gave her a hand, "Nurse, I'm afraid you've heard about my dismissal of the maid, so do you have any plans for the future?"

"Hui Niangniang, at my age, I have no place to go. I just want to stay in the palace for the rest of the day, clean the yard for you, and wait for you to come back anytime."

"Alright, you are the oldest nanny in this mansion, everything here will trouble you from now on."

"The empress is too flattering to the old slave."

Fu Xuanrong talked with Nanny Gao for a while, but she couldn't bear the fatigue, so she was supported by An Li and went back to the room to rest.

She fell asleep for two days, and when she woke up, horns sounded loudly in the city of Kyoto, and she could still see half of the sky burning red through the window.

An Li staggered in amid the roaring gunfire. She put a bowl of medicine on the table and said in a loud voice, "Mother, you're finally awake. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, what's going on outside?"

"The crown prince has led people to attack the imperial city. The emperor has already led all the soldiers to meet the enemy. You don't have to worry."

The prince really brought someone to call?
With so much gunfire outside, it must be a fierce battle.

No, she has to go out and see.

"An Li, change my clothes for me, I'm going to the tower to accompany Jun Hao."

"No, ma'am, you are too weak to walk on the ground at all."

"If I say it's okay, it's okay. Since the prince's party dares to fight over, they must have some secret weapon in their hands. If I don't keep an eye on it, I'm afraid there will be a big mess. Go and get me a set of light armor."

An Li thought he had a problem with his ears, "What did you say? Light armor?"

Her back is like that, where is she wearing any armor.

"That's right, go and get it, if you don't go, I'll go by myself." Fu Xuanrong's stubborn eyes made people startled, An Li couldn't hold her back, so she had to take the light armor over.

Putting on the armor, Fu Xuanrong regained some strength with this layer of iron supporting her legs, which were weak even when standing, "Go, hurry over with Qinggong."

"Yes."
