Chapter 289: Regent

Xu Zifan had become a prince from the backward world of orcs, and his first reaction was that he could finally enjoy it. He didn’t rush to read the memorial. After receiving the memory, he asked someone to arrange a banquet and ordered a lot of his favorite dishes. He didn’t think he was picky in the past, but after a lifetime in the orc world, he suddenly felt that many things were It's so delicious, you have to sacrifice to the five internal organs temple first.
During the meal, he called his daughter Xu Shiyue and Yulan together. When he arrived at the side hall, they had already arrived. When they saw him, they both got up and saluted. Then Xu Shiyue smiled and asked, "Father, what's the matter today? ?"
Xu Zifan waved his hand and walked to his seat, "It's okay, just suddenly remembered that the three of us haven't eaten together. We all sit down, I am busy with government affairs and neglect you, and I don't know what you like to eat. If these dishes don't match. Mind, you talk to Dean and ask him to make arrangements."
De'an is Xu Zifan's personal long-time attendant. He has followed him since he was a child, and naturally relaxed in front of him. He was not cautious. When he heard Xu Zifan's words, he walked forward and laughed: "Princess, Miss Lan, do you want to add some dishes? "
Xu Shiyue pointed to a few dishes, and said with a smile: "Father, these dishes are all my favorites, no need to add them."
Yulan lowered her head and said respectfully: "Master, don't add any more."
"Okay, all sit down and eat." Xu Zifan waved and ordered the people to retreat and smiled at the two of them. "Let's be more comfortable eating with our family. Don't ask people to prepare vegetables. What else can you eat? say something."
Xu Shiyue thought about the meaning of "his family" and glanced at Yulan. Yulan was uneasy, but she didn't show her face. She sat aside obediently, but she only picked up the vegetables in front of her.
Xu Zifan hasn't eaten delicacies for decades. He tried seven or eight dishes in a row before speaking, "Shiyue, someone told me about your marriage today."
Xu Shiyue suddenly raised her head and panicked: "Father, I, I am only fourteen years old, do I have to marry so early?" Is this meal today to talk about her marriage?
Xu Zifan took a sip of wine and shook his head, "That's not true. It's just because someone mentioned it that I thought that you are no longer young. There has been no mistress in the mansion for so many years, and no one has taught you many things. I thought I should find it. People have taught you well, and of course your husband-in-law will also start to choose. Pick one for two or three years, and you will get married."
Xu Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head a little embarrassed to discuss her relationship with her father, but still wondered: "Didn't the father ask four female masters to teach me? What else to learn?"
"Of course it's about the inner house. Talents and female celebrities are not the most important thing. The most important thing is how to survive in the back house and how to steward." Xu Zifan thought about the right person and said, "I will speak to your aunt , You go to her to live for a while, let her teach you. I will find a suitable mother from the palace to pick you up by your side, and you will be almost there."
Xu Shiyue raised her head in amazement. She could only see her aunt once or twice a year. She remembered that the relationship between her aunt and his father was bad a few years ago. Why did she suddenly send her to her aunt's house? She frowned anxiously, "Father, is there really nothing wrong at home?"
There was worry in Yulan's eyes. She hadn't seen Xu Zifan and her sister go back and forth since she went to the mansion for two years. Now she suddenly sent Xu Shiyue over, and it seemed like a refuge entrusted.
Xu Zifan said amusedly: "Where did you want to go? How could something happen at home? Shiyue, I went to your aunt to study hard, don't mix with her family affairs. You only have her a close female elder, don't ask her to find someone She is my sister. Even if she has been estranged in the past few years, it will not affect the relationship between brother and sister. It happened to be moving around again because of your business. She is not a child, so why is she awkward? Your aunt is straightforward and has always loved you, so you can rest assured To get along with her is to not be cautious in front of her."
Xu Shiyue nodded in a daze, "Father made plans for me, and I must study it seriously and live up to my father's wishes."
"Well, it's good for you to attend more banquets with your aunt and get to know more people, but if you are not used to living, you will return home whenever you want to."
"Yes, father."
Xu Zifan looked at Yulan again, "In the past two years, you have lived in the simplest form, you may lose your vitality in the long run, so you will go out and have fun in the future."
"Yes, prince." Yulan was moved, somewhat flattered. However, she knew her identity and didn't say much, she just ate quietly, so that the father and daughter could talk more.
The original owner is very busy on weekdays, but he still loves his only daughter very much, but he has very little time to get along. This time, taking the opportunity to eat, Xu Zifan talked a lot with Xu Shiyue. It seemed that they were talking ordinary words. In fact, he had already gained a deeper understanding of her through Xu Shiyue's words and was sure to send her to her aunt. Is the most correct decision.
The sister of the original owner is Xu Ziyun, and the siblings have always been in a good relationship. The conflict between the two began six years ago when the original owner was the young emperor. The original owner's thoughts about Fu Yuhua were deeply hidden. Xu Zijun thought that the past so many years had gone by like a smoke. Unexpectedly, the original owner desperately helped Fu Yuhua's son sit on the throne. During that time, the original owner experienced many crises, and Xu Zijun naturally did not agree with his approach.
What's more, Xu Zijun and Fu Yuhua are handkerchiefs. The woman probably understands the woman's thoughts better. Xu Zijun has long seen that Fu Yuhua has no friendship with the original owner. But her persuasion only resulted in the anger of the original owner. After several persuasion failed, Xu Ziyun also got angry, and almost stopped contacting the original owner. In the memory of the original owner, Xu Zijun's husband will go to another place as an official in six months. They moved with their family and broke contact. Therefore, the original owner didn't mention his sister when he made the wish. After all, he hadn't been in contact for so long, and he seemed to have broken the sibling relationship.
But Xu Zifan analyzed Xu Ziyun’s character and felt that if she knew what the original owner was going to do and what was going on in it, she would definitely do something. This sister is a reliable person and a very intuitive person. She was slow when she became the queen mother of Fu Yuhua. Slowly alienated this handkerchief, and only treated each other with the courtesy of monarchs and ministers. Xu Zifan felt that the sibling relationship could be repaired. It would be most appropriate for this sister to teach and take her to the banquet.
After dinner, Xu Shiyue retire first. In her opinion, Yulan is the father of the king, and the phrase "self-family" means this. After the meal is over, she naturally can't disturb them as a junior. It's better to let them talk alone.
Seeing Xu Shiyue's departure, Yulan stood up very sensibly, "Master, then I will go back to the room too, the prince will rest earlier, and the body is the most important thing."
"No hurry, walk with me."
Xu Zifan got up and walked out, Yulan hurriedly followed, keeping one step behind him. Xu Zifan didn't let anyone follow. The two of them walked to the pond. The moon was reflected on the water. Sometimes one or two fish swam by. The scenery was beautiful.
Xu Zifan stood with his hand in his hand, turned his head and looked at Yulan and said: "Yulan, you look a little bit old-fashioned in this way, and a little bit unlike you. From now on, it will be like when we first met. Do what suits you best. dress up."
Yulan looked at him helplessly, "Master...what do you mean?" She touched her hair, "You said that this appearance looks most like her..."
Xu Zifan interrupted her, "Yu Lan, I have wronged you in the past two years, you are you, you don't have to pretend to be anyone, and I shouldn't let you pretend to be someone else."
Yulan said anxiously: "The prince, although I don't know who the prince is thinking about, I am willing to do this, and I don't feel wronged. The prince saved me, and I have nothing to repay the prince and let the prince be on me. I am really happy to see her shadow to comfort me."
Who would be willing to be someone else's stand-in? Although Yulan's tone was very sincere, Xu Zifan could still see the bitterness in her eyes. She is not willing to be a substitute, she just wants to do her best to repay the benefactor. In fact, she is very temperamental, otherwise she would not pretend to be a dancing girl to assassinate the emperor after the death of the original owner. She is too kind and willing to do anything to repay her kindness.
Xu Zifan was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "That person is no longer worthy of my love. Yulan, I don't think about her anymore. From now on, you will be yourself. Don't remember any kindness. You have been wronged in the past two years. I’m pretending to be someone else, and I’ve paid off everything." He turned around, looked at Yulan, who was a little uneasy, and said with a smile, "I’ll find a maid for you when I look back. Tell me everything you want to learn. This is Your home, be more at ease, don’t be so restrained."
Yulan doesn't care what kind of preferential treatment she can get, she is only worried about Xu Zifan, "Master, is your abnormality today because of that person? She... broke your heart?"
Xu Zifan squinted his eyes, "That's right, it's been so long, and things are different, I should let go of this obsession."
Yulan carefully observed Xu Zifan's expression, trying to comfort him, "The prince is highly powerful and has a daughter who is as caring as the princess. It is a great blessing. The prince may be more comfortable to let go of some people and things."
Xu Zifan nodded and smiled, "You are right. If you put it down, you will put it down. It's not as difficult as you thought, but it's a lot easier."
Yulan breathed a sigh of relief and showed a gentle smile. She looked more agile and younger. She was blessed to Xu Zifan, "It's good for the prince to figure it out. I only hope that the prince will be happy and healthy, and worry-free. consider."
Xu Zifan chuckled, "Naturally, I don't have much trouble now. Go, it's almost night, go back to rest earlier."
Xu Zifan sent Yulan back to her yard, went back to the room, lay on a soft pillow on the high bed, and slept comfortably. From frugality to extravagance, being a regent is really enjoyable, there shouldn't be any trouble at all.
The next day he went to court, and all the civil and military officials present watched his face and spoke, and even the little emperor on the dragon chair glanced at him from time to time. This feeling of holding power is somewhat similar to and somewhat different from the previous life. Very cool. Especially after he rebutted the little emperor, it was even more refreshing to watch the little emperor endure aggrieved.
In the next dynasty, Xu Zifan walked out slowly. The officials saluted him and resigned. A long-awaited hurried forward and whispered: "The prince, the queen mother, would you like to go to Anci Palace to discuss matters?"
Xu Zifan raised his eyebrows, discussing matters? It must have been discussing the relationship between the little emperor and Xu Shiyue. He nodded, "Be prepared, go to Anci Palace."
