Chapter 705: Ah Yu’s Gift Is Unusual

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hua Ron’s personality was the same as her father’s. She was swift and decisive. She would do whatever she said immediately.

Since they suspected Princess Ruyi’s identity, they had to investigate immediately.

However, General Hua, who had always been more upright, rejected her this time.

Three days later, Ah Yu reorganized the Astrology Divination Bureau and specially asked for a few guards from the Internal Affairs Department to come over. She took out the rules from hundreds of years ago so that everyone could know that the Astrology Divination Bureau was also protected in the Imperial City. Not everyone could come here and throw their weight around and mention special privileges.

Of course, Ah Yu did not say these words explicitly. She only specially took out the old regulations and read them out when she went to the Internal Affairs Bureau. These were the restrictions given by the Emperor when the Astrology Divination Bureau had some status in the past.

The general idea was that the Astrology Divination Bureau must not overstep its authority and should focus on managing its own responsibilities, efficiently carrying out its duties, and serving the people of the world diligently within its own domain.

However, what used to be a form of restriction has now transformed into a means of protection. This implies that individuals from outside the Astrology Divination Bureau are not allowed to wander freely within its premises. Unless explicitly invited by the Astrology Divination Bureau, or under the orders of the Emperor, Empress, or Cabinet, no one else is permitted to exert authority here.

The people from the Internal Affairs Department were stunned. No matter how uninformed they were, they knew that Princess Ruyi had gone to cause trouble a few days ago. Today, the actions of the Commander of the Astrology Divination Bureau were definitely targeted at Princess Ruyi.

When the people with power confronted each other, they, the subordinates, were really in a difficult position.

However, they soon relaxed because the Emperor had personally ordered them to follow the old rules.

Before the new rules were released, they would follow the old rules.

This was also an invisible slap to Princess Ruyi’s face. The palace servants also discussed in private, “Looks like compared to Princess Ruyi, they seem to like the Commander more…”

“Shh, don’t spout nonsense. Be careful not to lose your head!” Someone reminded.

“I know. We’re just saying it in our hearts. Moreover, if it were me, 1 would like that cute and smart Commander even more. There are probably not many people in the entire Great Chang or even the entire continent who can have her achievements at such a young age.”

After this series of actions, the initial commotion stirred by the Astrology Divination Bureau quickly subsided. However, the people within the Astrology Divination Bureau breathed a sigh of relief. They no longer had to deal with too many outsiders, nor endure further mistreatment. While it might pose potential disadvantages in the long run, the current comfort was what mattered most.

As of now, within the Astrological Bureau, apart from Ah Yu and Tang Yuan, there are a few other individuals: the original cook Uncle Luo, Auntie Fatty, Xie Zhen, who had been demoted to a minister, Xie Guixin, Liu Fang, three other palace maids, two eunuchs, and four guards,

Overall, this was still a weak team that could not face the bloodbath of the Imperial City.

On the afternoon of the third day, Ah Yu did not leave the Astrology Divination Bureau. Instead, she was waiting for someone.

The first to arrive was Hua Rou. She said indignantly, “How ridiculous. My father actually doesn’t care about this matter. If the royal bloodline is really mixed up, it will be a huge matter!”

Ah Yu: “It’s indeed a big matter, but wasn’t Princess Ruyi brought back by the Emperor? All kinds of details must have been checked. You shouldn’t be able to find anything even if you investigate further.”

Regardless of whether this princess was real or fake, as long as it was something that the Emperor had personally dealt with, regardless of whether the Emperor knew about it or not, he would definitely not let anyone catch his tail so easily. Otherwise, where would the Emperor’s face be?

Hua Rong suddenly patted her head. “I understand now. My father is loyal to the Emperor to begin with. Since she was personally checked by the Emperor, there shouldn’t be a problem. Perhaps it’s because she’s been raised outside in the past and has a bad temper. I think the other princes have good personalities. No matter who becomes the next—”

Before she could finish speaking, Ah Yu reached out and covered her mouth.

She said helplessly, “Sister-in-law Hua Rou, you’re even more daring than me!”

Hua Rou chuckled. “Aren’t we all on the same side? I didn’t think too much about it. Thank you for your reminder. Since there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. Today, 1’11 accompany my husband to visit a few families. Well be returning to Hundred Flowers County in a few days. Speaking of which, you’re still the Flower Fairy of our Hundred Flowers County. When are you going to visit Hundred Flowers County again?”

Now, the meaning between the lines in Hua Ron’s words was that she treated Hundred Flowers County as her true home. Her tone was completely different from before.

“Big Brother Murong is leaving? 1 only played with you for a while when you came to the capital this time. I haven’t had a proper gathering with Big Brother Murong yet. Please apologize on my behalf. However, 1 might have a lot to do these few days and can’t send you off personally. Tomorrow, I’ll get someone to send a gift to your residence. Take it as a token of my appreciation.”

Hua Rou waved her hand generously. “The two of us have already handed over our handkerchiefs. There’s no need for gifts. It’s fine as long as your intentions are there.”

She thought to herself that what Ah Yu wanted to give was probably nothing more than some cloth, clothes, or something to play with.

Ah Yu was still a child herself, so the things she gave were naturally things she loved at her age. She did not lack those things either. Even if she lacked them, she could just buy them with money. There was no need to add more supplies to the journey.

Ah Yu revealed a meaningful smile. “Alright, i’ll retract my words first. Go home and ask Big Brother Murong. If he says the same thing, I won’t send you the gift.”

“Don’t worry, my husband’s thoughts are about the same as mine. You’re our sister, and we’re the only ones who can give you gifts. Why do we need you to give us gifts? Alright, that’s all I have to say today. We’ll contact each other through letters. I’ve already talked to my father at home. If you encounter any difficulties, or if you need to borrow troops like last time, you can look for my father. As long as it’s reasonable, I think he’ll agree.”

In any case, in Hua Ron’s eyes, be it her father or All Yu, they were people who knew what was going on. There was naturally no need to say anything else.

“Alright, alright, 1 understand. When you arrive, get someone to send me a letter so that I can be at ease.”

“You’re saying the same thing as my mother.” With that, Hua Rou left quickly.

When she arrived home, Hua Rou told Murong Run what she had said today. She originally thought that Murong Run would follow her words and ask Ah Yu not to send any more gifts. She did not expect Murong Run to almost lose his grip on the teacup in his hand.

“Rou’er, 1 have something to remind you. In the future, even if it’s a pile of cow feces by the roadside, you have to quickly catch it.” Murong Run said meaningfully under Hua Rong’s disdainful gaze, “If Ah Yu is willing to take the initiative to give it to you, it must be something good. Just accept it. If you refuse, you might only regret it in the future.”

Hence, a few days later, Ah Yu really sent a gift. It naturally contained the fruits Ah Yu had given him before. It was much better than the red fruits from before. Later on, they even saved Hua Ron’s life by a freak combination of factors.

Only then did Hua Rou know that her husband really didn’t lie to her.

Of course, this was all in the future..
