When Duke Zhen saw Fu Jingen, he couldn't help but ask, "Is he really sick?"

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "If you pretend to be sick, wouldn't that be a crime of deceiving the king? I am really sick, but it's just an ordinary cold."

Fenghan is not a problem for them at all. Just practice swords and sweat. So when you hear it was Fenghan Duke, you don’t care: “You really want to threaten the emperor by resigning from office? Your heart is unpredictable. Are you not afraid that the emperor will be afraid of you if you do this?”

Fu Jingen was really not afraid and said, "I have worked hard to climb up over the years to prevent Qingshu and the children from being bullied. Now no one dares to bully us or not as an official."

After pausing, he said again: "The emperor is willing to use me, and I will do my best to assist him. If one day he doesn't need me, then I will resign with Qingshu and retire."

The Duke of Zhenguo looked at him and asked, "Some things are easier said than done, but you will definitely be reluctant to leave them again at that time."

Fu Jingen didn't care about other people's thoughts. In fact, he planned to resign from Qingshu when Brother Fu and Yaoyao could stand alone. He didn't want to die of exhaustion in office like Heng Xiang. He and Qingshu worked hard for most of his life, and when the child grew up, he should enjoy his life.

Duke Zhenguo did not persuade Fu Jingen like Mrs. Feng. Even if he did something impulsively on this position, he would be a new and successful calculation, and it would be a waste of time to persuade him.

Brother Fu and Yaoyao sent Duke Zhen out together. After returning, Brother Fu said, "Dad, grandpa said your condition has improved, and said I can't delay my homework anymore and asked me to enter the palace tomorrow."

Yaoyao frowned and said, "What's going on with grandpa? Dad is sick and needs our company. How can you let you leave at this time?"

Fu Jingen smiled and said, "Dad has been almost healed after taking the medicine for a day. Let's have a good rest. Your brother's schoolwork is heavy, so if he has to delay any further, he will not be able to keep up."

Yaoyao said with an oh, "Dad, brother can go back to the palace, but I have to be with you at home."

"What should you do with your homework?"

Yaoyao also thought it was a problem, so she thought for a while and said, "Dad, why don't you move to Meihua Lane to recuperate! In this way, I can take care of you and won't delay my homework."

Fu Jingen thought this idea was good, so she agreed immediately.

After Brother Fu entered the palace the next day, the father and daughter brought more than a dozen cages to the fragrance of plum blossoms.

The emperor looked bad when he knew about this: "I'm so tired that I haven't had time to sleep in the afternoon. He still has the leisure and elegance to go to study with his daughter."

Although Yuanbao has a good relationship with Fu Jingen, he dare not speak good things for him at this time, otherwise the emperor's anger would have to be vented on him.

The emperor cursed and asked Yuanbao: "When will Lin Qingshu arrive in Beijing?"

"It takes at least one month."

The emperor couldn't wait for a month. The other four cabinet masters were very capable, but they were not as good as Fu Jingen. The emperor said with a cold face: "You go to see him now and tell him to rest for three days at most. If you don't come back to serve in three days, then stay at home and hug your wife and children and warm up the kang!"

Yuanbao's eyelids twitched and he responded respectfully.

After listening to Yuanbao's message, Fu Jingen asked, "The Emperor asked me to be warm in my wife and children at home?"

This means that if he resigns from his post, Qingshu's official position will not be able to be with him at home.

Yuanbao said, "Mr. Fu, don't be stubborn with the emperor anymore. The emperor has gotten angry several times in the past two days, and I have been scolded twice. Just be careful and feel sorry for our family. Go back to work as a servant soon!"

Fu Jingen was not afraid of the emperor's threat and said, "It just so happened that our husband and wife were together and we all resigned from office and raised our children at home. It's great."

Yuanbao almost vomited blood: "Mr. Fu, you really have to fight with the emperor to the end!"

Fu Jingen said with a discomfort: "You also know how busy I am when I enter the cabinet. I am often so busy that I can't even go back to my home. Qingshu often goes out to work in the foreign affairs office and is not in the capital, which makes Yaoyao often say that she is like an orphan. Whenever I hear this, my heart hurts like a needle."

He never thought of letting Qingshu resign. This was her dream. Fu Jingen also wanted him to realize it. However, if he did not resign, he could be transferred from Feiyuwei. As long as he did not go home at the same time, his daughter would not have such big complaints.

Of course, if the emperor really doesn't want to compromise, he can only resign. He worked so hard to give Qingshu and his children a better life, so he can't put the cart before the horse.

Yuanbao was silent after hearing this and said, "Then tell the emperor, the emperor will understand you. If you give up like this, it will only backfire."

He didn't know how much pain he had complained over the years, but it was useless, otherwise he wouldn't have used this bad decision. Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "Eunuch Yuan, don't persuade me anymore, I have settled my mind."

Yuanbao had no choice but to convey his words to the emperor without missing a word.

Seeing that the emperor's face was not angry, Yuanbao said carefully: "Emperor, I went to Kunning Palace to spread a message on the eighth day of last month. I happened to hear Miss Yaoyao complaining to the Queen that she was living like an orphan."

The emperor didn't say anything.

Yuanbao looked at the emperor's god and saw that he was not angry, then continued: "Emperor, the cabinet is busy with official duties. Last time, Lord Fu was busy for ten days and didn't go home. Lord Lin went on a business trip again and had no one to take care of his children. It was indeed a big problem."

The emperor waved his hand and let him go.

When I arrived at Kunning Palace in the evening, Yi An asked with a bad look when he saw the emperor's face, "Why are you still worried about Fu Jingen's affairs?"

The emperor said with a cold face: "I sent Yuanbao to visit him today, but this guy said that the child was not cared for and could not get married without anyone to take care of him. He said he didn't want the child to resent him in the future, so he and his second sister must have one who can stay at home. He was reluctant to let his second sister resign, so he had to quit himself."

Yi An's reaction was completely different from that of the emperor. She said: "This shows that the second sister is more important than the career in his heart. The second sister will definitely be very happy to know this."

Even she is happy for Qingshu.

The emperor felt that he had no idea of ​​Yi An at all: "He, a great cabinet minister, wanted to resign and go home to take care of the children. When it was spread, the outsiders thought that his mind was in trouble."

Not to mention others, the emperor thought Fu Jingen had a brain problem. He was the second among the secondary officials, and Qingshu was just a fourth-rank official, and the two were incomparable.

Yi An glanced at him and said, "Do you think Fu Jingen will care about the unexpected person's idea?"

Like Qingshu, Fu Jingen and Qingshu are both people who don’t care about other people’s thoughts at all. Unlike Feng Xiaoer, who cares about other people’s evaluations of her. Fortunately, they have improved a lot in recent years and are about to get married to Wei Fang. She doesn’t have to worry about her in the future with Wei Fang protecting her.
