Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 229
At this reunion after a long separation, there was inevitably crying, tears and snot flying everywhere.

Dong Xiaowan nestled in her mother's arms and finally stopped crying. However, her eldest brother and sister-in-law came out and burst into tears again.

Lu Hao stood more than ten meters away, feeling heartbroken when he saw Dong Xiaowan who was in tears.

"Dad, Mom, the Prime Minister is here to greet you personally."

Dong Xiaowan pointed at Lu Hao in the distance.

"So young Prime Minister?"

Dong Bifang said in surprise.

Although I have long heard that the prime minister of the empire is very young, but he is too young!
"The Prime Minister is not only young, but he also seems to be very handsome!"

Mrs. Dong said to herself.

"It's kind of handsome!"

Big brothers and sisters-in-law seem to feel the same way.

This is your son-in-law, how could he not be handsome?

Dong Xiaowan blushed, but did not dare to say a word, let alone reveal the relationship between the two.

Dong Bifang strode towards Lu Hao and laughed happily: "I pay my respects to the Prime Minister!"

"Master Dong, there is no need to be polite! Let me introduce the truth to you..."

Lu Hao smiled and began to introduce.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of the empire's water conservancy projects and road transportation, and has four departments: Yingxi, Yuheng, Dushui, and Tuntian.

Today all the heads of the four departments are here, which is enough to give Mr. Dong and the Dong family enough face.

"Prime Minister, gentlemen, this is my concubine, Quanzi and my daughter-in-law..."

Dong Bifang also introduced his family to everyone.

Although Dong Zhaoyi was not as noble as the imperial concubine, she was second only to the imperial concubine in the palace. Therefore, these officials were very polite and courteous to the Dong family.

Everyone got on the carriage again, and Lu Hao led the way on horseback, heading towards the imperial city and arriving at a luxurious mansion.

Lu Hao turned over and dismounted, and Dong Xiaowan also followed his parents out of the carriage.

"Empress Zhaoyi, Master Dong, this is the residence that the emperor has given you as a reward. I wonder if you are satisfied with it?"

Lu Hao said loudly.

What comes into view is a large luxurious mansion with iron gates, high walls, and cornice pavilions. Especially the pair of stone lions at the door look very majestic.

This house is Yu Wenji's residence. Since the failure of the rebellion, it has been inspected by the Imperial Supervision Department.

Lu Hao turned around and gave it to Dong Bifang, naturally for Dong Xiaowan's sake.

"Satisfied, very satisfied. The Dong family thanks the Emperor for his kindness!"

Dong Bifang was extremely excited.

Dong Xiaowan took a deep look at Lu Hao, with tenderness in his eyes and indescribable gratitude.

"As long as you are satisfied, come here and bring me the land deed."

Lu Hao said loudly.

Wu Qingyu from the Supervision Department immediately registered the title deed.

After Lu Hao took it, he handed it to Dong Bifang and said, "Mr. Dong, this is the land deed. Keep it safe. From today on, this mansion will be yours."

"Many...thank you...Mr. Prime Minister!"

Dong Bifang was so excited that his voice was trembling.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, thank you, Your Majesty, for my concubine!"

Dong Xiaowan bowed and saluted Lu Haoying, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Empress Zhaoyi is so polite! If you want to stay with your family, you can stay."

"Okay, since I have official duties, I'll take my leave now."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

He called many officials to leave, and, surrounded by a group of imperial guards, headed towards the palace.

Dong Bifang's family looked at Lu Hao's retreating figure and were filled with gratitude.

"Xiao Wan, you seem to have a very good relationship with the Prime Minister!"

Mrs. Dong asked with a smile.

"My daughter has a normal relationship with him, but the matter between father and brother this time is indeed thanks to him."

Dong Xiaowan denied it.

"Oh! Then you can thank the Prime Minister more in the future." Mrs. Dong wanted her daughter to cover Lu Hao in the palace.

"My daughter knows."

Dong Xiaowan responded.

Xindao's daughter has already volunteered her life, how can she still thank her?

"I estimate that this house was given as a gift by the Prime Minister. After all, the Emperor has been in a coma, so how could he know that our family is coming?"

Dong Bifang said in a deep voice.

"Dad, please keep in mind the good things the Prime Minister has done to our Dong family. In the future, Dad will support the Prime Minister even more in the court."

Dong Xiaowan promptly pulled his father into Lu Hao's camp.

"Dad knows this. After all, the promotion this time was helped by the Prime Minister. I am not a fool."

Dong Bifang has been an official for many years and still knows the rules.

"By the way, Xiao Wan, how is the emperor's condition?"

Mrs. Dong interjected and asked.

"Since the Emperor was assassinated at the Autumn Hunting Ceremony, his injuries have improved, but he has been in a coma. I don't know when he will wake up?"

Dong Xiaowan now wished that the emperor would never wake up again.

In this case, she and Lu Hao can be happy together.

"Always sleeping? What do you mean? Is it the living dead?"

Mrs. Dong blurted out.

"What are you talking about? This is the imperial capital, so you must not talk nonsense!"

Dong Bifang immediately shouted.

Mrs. Dong also knew that she had said the wrong thing. She looked around and found that there was only her family and a few loyal maids, so she felt relieved.

"Okay, let's talk about it after we go in."

Dong Bifang was also worried that trouble would come from his mouth.

Lu Hao felt sorry for Dong Xiaowan and specially asked her to stay at home with her parents and enjoy the warmth of the family.

How could Dong Xiaowan not know that she was truly grateful to Lu Hao and found that she seemed hopelessly in love with this man.

Mr. Yu Wenji used to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, so you can imagine how luxurious this house is.

Dong Bifang's family, who had seen this kind of house, were immediately excited and grateful to Lu Hao.

……

In front of Jintao Pavilion.

Lu Hao got off his horse, asked the imperial guards to wait outside the door, and walked inside alone.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, welcome!"

Xia Wei went out to greet him personally.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the girl seemed to have become more lively, with a pair of big watery eyes looking at Lu Hao with tenderness.

"Weiwei, do you want to know the truth?"

Lu Hao leaned forward and asked in a low voice.

"In no mood!"

Xia Wei rolled her eyes at him.

Women are like this, duplicity, even though they say they don't want to, they still hold his arm and walk inside.

Since Lu Hao met Xia Wei's parents, their relationship was made public. Therefore, the two of them had nothing to worry about. They talked and laughed and seemed very close.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I heard that Shen Jianqiu, the richest man in the empire, wants to betroth his daughter Shen Yiyi to you. Is it true?"

Xia Wei asked with a smile.

"It is true that there is such a thing, but the truth did not agree. He just accepted her as his sister. Many people know this."

Lu Hao quickly proved his innocence.

"I didn't say that I won't let you marry Shen Yiyi. Anyway, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. However, you haven't married me yet, so you are not allowed to marry anyone else."

Xia Wei originally cared about this order.

Of course, the status of the main palace and the side chambers are also different, so Xia Wei naturally wants to compete for the position of the main palace empress.
