Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1228

Fu Qiu didn't care about anything else, but Master Zheng was the only thing that couldn't be questioned by her. She felt grateful to the young master!

However, Master Zheng didn't even look at her expression, but continued to speak:

"Once you can become the queen and give birth to the eldest son of the royal family, you will be able to influence at least two generations in the future."

"Even today's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and your children, under your influence, these two generations will most likely not target the young master."

"If you are strong and live longer, you can even have an impact on three generations. The young master will be safe with you."

Having said this, Master Zheng suddenly paused and looked at Fu Qiu. After hesitating for a moment, he continued:

"But once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. You can pretend to remember the favor, but you can't have too much contact with the young master."

"why?"

After hearing what Master Zheng said, Fu Qiu even forgot his anger and immediately asked the reason.

"Because the imperial power cannot be interfered with!"

Master Zheng briefly stated the core reason, but then continued:

"Because there have been precedents throughout the dynasties, the last thing the imperial power wants to see is external forces interfering with the orthodoxy of the imperial power."

"Although you and the young master are not blood relatives and are not officially considered as in-laws, you are, after all, someone the young master saved."

"If you get too close to the young master, you will essentially be treated as a relative, and the royal family will also be worried about the interference of foreign relatives in politics."

Although Fu Qiu is young, she is not ignorant like other children of the same age. Instead, she is very smart and has a strong ability to understand.

After Master Zheng finished speaking, Fu Qiu immediately understood what he meant and fell silent.

Seeing that Fu Qiu remained silent, Master Zheng did not continue speaking, but not long after, Fu Qiu looked up at him.

"Master Zheng, I'd like to ask, if His Majesty really arranges for me to marry the Crown Prince, when will the marriage take place?"

"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, men aged sixteen and over, and women aged fourteen and over, can marry."

Hearing this, Fu Qiu's originally tangled emotions immediately calmed down and he slowly nodded and said:

"That means I still have five years, that's good."

Yes, Fu Qiu is indeed thirteen years old and will be fourteen in a year, but don’t forget that Zhu Xiongying is even younger.

Zhu Xiongying is only eleven years old now, and there are still five years until he gets married at the age of sixteen. This period of time is enough for Fu Qiu.

Everyone thought that Fu Qiu was grateful to Wei Wu, but in fact, even Wei Wu didn't know Fu Qiu's feelings for him.

In fact, deep down in Fu Qiu's heart, she regarded Wei Wu as her own father, because she had no father since childhood.

She and her mother depended on each other for survival, surrounded by wolves, tigers and leopards, so she had never felt what fatherly love was like.

The appearance of Wei Wu not only rescued her from the sea of ​​suffering, but also brought her to his side to protect her. This is the most crucial thing.

The sense of security of not having to worry about staying alive and being able to eat, wear warm clothes and sleep well was something Fu Qiu had never experienced before.

Fu Qiu's current thoughts are the same as those of a normal woman. She wants to spend a few more years with her father before getting married.

This is also the reason why Fu Qiu felt relieved when he learned that he still had five years.

"Master Zheng, thank you for telling me so much. I won't tell anyone about what happened today. Just pretend I never came."

"Who is speaking?"

As soon as Fu Qiu finished speaking, Master Zheng looked around the room with a puzzled look on his face, as if he was looking for something.

Seeing this, Fu Qiu took two steps back, bowed slightly to Master Zheng, then decisively pushed open the door and left.

Looking at Fu Qiu's departing back, Master Zheng frowned and nodded, lost in thought, until the young man who took care of him came back.

Seeing that Master Zheng was thinking about something, the young man did not disturb him, but quietly took the dishes out of the food box and arranged them.

Although he was very curious about where the little girl had gone, he finally resisted the urge to ask.

Just at this moment, Master Zheng also came back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at the young man, with a cold light slowly appearing in his eyes.

But it disappeared in just a moment, and then he shook his head and smiled with a look of reflection.

"This habit needs to change! I've been a good person for so long, but when something happens, my first reaction is still to kill the person."

"Even if the young master knew about this, at most he would just scold or punish him. But if it was murder, then it would be a big problem."

He silently complained to himself in his heart, then Master Zheng looked at the young man again, with a kind look in his eyes and a gentle tone, saying:

"Huang Yi, last time I heard you say that your mother wasn't used to living in the capital and always missed her life back home, right?"

"Hehe, Master Zheng, I just said it casually, I didn't expect you to remember it."

"Of course I remember."

Master Zheng smiled faintly, then continued to ask tentatively.

"By the way, where is your hometown?"

"Master Zheng, it's Wuchang Prefecture. When the world was in turmoil, my mother took me to escape to Yingtian Prefecture."

The Ming Dynasty was established only a dozen years ago. Before that, there were wars everywhere, and many people left their homes to seek refuge. This is normal.

After calculating the distance between Wuchang Prefecture and Yingtian Prefecture in his mind, Master Zheng smiled and said:

"During this time, you have taken very good care of me, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. You even took care of the toilet without worrying about it being dirty."

"I have seen all these things and I have kept them in mind, but a relative of mine is coming to the capital."

"He had a hard time living back home, so I thought I'd let him take care of me, which would also give him a job to make a living."

Hearing Master Zheng's words, the young man's expression was inevitably a little helpless, but he finally nodded.

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Zheng, for giving me work during this period. This has allowed me to earn money to support my elderly mother. I..."

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

The young man was about to say goodbye, but Master Zheng suddenly interrupted him and continued:

"Although I can't keep you here any longer, I won't treat you unfairly. Here's one hundred taels, take it."

As he spoke, Master Zheng took out a silver note of one hundred taels from his pocket, and then continued:

"Your mother wants to return home, doesn't she? Take this money and buy some land so you can take good care of her in the future."

"Master Zheng...this..."

"Okay, stop being so agitated. Just take it. I'm not short of money, and this is what you earned through your own hard work."
