The emperor unabashedly favored the Lord of Shengping County, which surprised everyone.

What's even more surprising is that during the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor who was supposed to accompany the queen mother to dinner actually only said a few words to the queen mother before getting up and leaving.

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Queen Mother!

Queen Mother, although the Queen is still smiling, her smile is somewhat forced.

Princess Huijia looked at the Lord Shengping who was hanging her head and said nothing. She had an outrageous illusion that the Emperor's refusal to show favor to the Queen Mother today always had something to do with the Lord Shengping.

But, is it possible?

Even if the Emperor values ​​the Yan family and Yeyang, there is no need to lose the Queen Mother’s face for the sake of a Shengping County owner.

Does the emperor’s departure have anything to do with Daohua?

Of course!

Seeing Daohua whose eyes turned red when he saw him, the emperor instinctively understood the emotion in her eyes.

She feels wronged and unfair for her biological mother!

When he thought of his biological mother, whom he had not even seen for the last time, how could the Emperor still have the slightest interest in accompanying the Queen Mother in vain?

The emperor's departure caused the excitement of the banquet to drop several degrees.

In previous years, everyone's favorite part of the Dragon Boat Festival was watching officials from various places present gifts. If you could make the emperor, queen mother, and queen happy during this period, you might even get a reward.

Gifts from various places are naturally rare and good things. Now with the emperor's departure, this link has naturally been cancelled.

Everyone was eating absentmindedly. When the banquet was about to end, Eunuch An came over again.

"I would like to send my regards to the Queen Mother, the Queen, and my ladies to express my regards."

The queen smiled and asked: "But what are the emperor's orders?"

Eunuch An smiled and replied: "The emperor summoned the Lord of Shengping County."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Daohua again.

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed when she looked at Daohua, and she said calmly: "Since it is the Emperor's summons, Lord Shengping County should go with Eunuch An."

Daohua comforted the worried-looking Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li with her eyes, then stood up and faced the Queen Mother. The Queen blessed herself and left the hall with Eunuch An.

Everyone looked at Daohua’s leaving figure with different expressions.

......

Walking on the corridor of the palace, Daohua had recovered from her sadness for her old mother-in-law, and glanced at Eunuch An next to her from time to time.

Eunuch An noticed Daohua's gaze and immediately showed a kind smile.

This is the old man's apprentice, and he is the one who will pay filial piety to the old lady until the end of his life. Even though he is not of that noble birth, his weight in the emperor's heart is not small.

Thinking of how she had ordered the emperor to work in the fields, Daohua felt a little worried: "Mr. An... No, Eunuch An, what did the emperor ask me to do?"

Eunuch An smiled and said: "You will know after the county lord goes there."

Daohua was speechless in her heart. After saying this, she didn't say anything. She didn't want to ask anything else after that, and silently followed Eunuch An to Qianqing Palace.

After seeing Daohua enter the main hall, Eunuch An held the longevity lock around his neck to cheer himself up, which was quite funny.

When Daohua stepped into the main hall, she saw the emperor holding his hands behind his back in the direction of the door, silently looking at a portrait.

After walking in, Daohua saw clearly that it was the portrait that Xiao Yeyang had painted for her mother-in-law, master, and grandmother.

This is the only portrait of my mother-in-law left in the world!

When the emperor heard the noise, he turned around and looked at Daohua.

Daohua's eyes moved from the portrait to the emperor. Although her face was expressionless, her mind was running rapidly.

How should she address the emperor?

This first title is very important. As long as the emperor does not object, she can call her that way in front of others in the future.

If you call her the emperor directly, it will not show a close relationship; according to the seniority of the master, you can call her the emperor brother, but calling her like this will make her one generation higher than Xiao Yeyang.

After a quick spin in her mind, Daohua knelt down and shouted decisively: "Yi Yi pays homage to Uncle Huang!"

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard the address. This girl was really good at climbing up the pole, so she followed Yeyang and called him Uncle Huang.

When the emperor saw the longevity lock hanging around Daohua's neck, he didn't object: "Why are you crying today?"

Daohua was silent: "I miss my mother-in-law."

Hearing this, the emperor sighed: "Tell me about your mother's life."

When Daohua saw that the emperor had called her here for this matter, she immediately relaxed and told him in detail what happened to Granny Gu a few months before her death.

The emperor knew that his mother had been thinking about his own safety before she passed away. He blamed himself so much that he was silent for a long time.

Looking at the only grandson daughter-in-law chosen by the mother herself, the emperor summoned Eunuch An and ordered: "Select some of the brocades, hair, gems, pearls and other things that girls can use as tributes before and give them to Yan Yatou. ”

Eunuch An smiled and said: "I will do it immediately."

When Daohua came out of the Qianqing Palace, she was followed by many eunuchs and maids. These eunuchs and maids either held tapestry brocades or heads and faces, and even a box of Luozidai, which was usually only given to the palace concubines.

Such a generous reward naturally alarmed other people in the palace. Everyone had different reactions and all looked at the Queen Mother in secret.

Previously, the Queen Mother wanted to punish the Lord Shengping County, but now the Emperor has rewarded the Lord Shengping County with great fanfare. This is obviously to support the Lord Shengping County.

When the eldest princess found out, the smile on her face was very forced. She deliberately humiliated the Lord Shengping County today in order to please the Queen Mother, but now her father's reaction was beyond her expectation.

Xiao Yeyang received the news early in the morning and was waiting outside Qianqing Palace. When he saw Daohua coming out, he quickly walked up and took a closer look at her face. When he saw that the corners of her eyes were still a little red, his face immediately darkened.< /p>

Daohua: "I'm fine, I just received a few indifferent words."

Xiao Yeyang pursed his lips tightly and noted down the eldest princess and Ma's concubines who took the lead in making things difficult for Daohua. He couldn't directly teach these people a lesson, but their families... had better not do anything wrong!

"Let's go, I'll take you out of the palace."

Daohua: "My mother and grandmother are still with the Queen Mother."

Xiao Yeyang looked at the sky: "It's getting late now. They should be leaving soon. Let's wait for them at the palace gate."

Daohua didn't want to look at the Queen Mother's face, nodded, and walked towards the palace gate with Xiao Yeyang.

On the palace wall, Luo Honghao looked at the two people walking side by side, his eyes narrowed slightly.

As soon as he heard that the Lord of Shengping County was in trouble, Xiao Yeyang immediately went to find the emperor. He looked so anxious that it was impossible to be ruthless to the Lord of Shengping County.

If so, will he still keep an oiran outside?

Thinking that after the Dong family was arrested and imprisoned, his grandfather and father sternly told him that this was the end of his brother's death, he felt indescribably aggrieved.

Dong Yuanyao hasn't been caught yet, and no one in the Dong family has died. How can we stop here?

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang stood at the gate of the palace and waited for a short time before they saw the wives of various families coming out one after another.

Everyone's eyes turned around the two of them, and then fell on the emperor's reward.

"Is the emperor's reward too generous?"
