"Ms. He, did she really say that?" The emperor asked curiously after hearing the servant's reply.
"Although Mrs. He's voice is very weak, this servant truly heard what she said!"
With a flattering smile on his face, the chamberlain said eagerly: "Moreover, I noticed that the way Mrs. He looked at the medicinal materials given by His Majesty was also very unusual."
"It doesn't look like you are looking at medicinal materials, but rather like you are looking at the miraculous elixir gifted by the gods!"
"Mrs. He's look in her eyes, I can't describe it. It's like a believer seeing a gift from God!"
The chamberlain was extremely exaggerated and spoke very skillfully.
On the surface, he was gossiping about Wei Guogong's wife, but in fact, he was desperately trying to flatter the emperor.
"Haha, what kind of believer or god is just looking at Boqing's face to reward her with something? How come it becomes a panacea?"
The emperor was amused and laughed.
Even though I say this on my lips, I don’t think it helps me much.
The emperor had seen many frightened ministers or official family members, and had heard too much flattery.
But He was different. She was about to die, and she only had a few days left to live. There was no need to perform these things anymore.
However, He still said the words "contaminated with dragon energy" and cherished the things the emperor had given her. This shows that her piety and gratitude are genuine.
He was used to being aloof and knew that his subjects were submissive to him, but He's almost superstitious reaction still greatly pleased the emperor.
It was as if he, the emperor, was a savior and a living Bodhisattva-like existence for a courtier who was on the verge of death.
"Why isn't it a panacea? Mrs. He also said that the medicinal materials you rewarded are contaminated with your dragon energy, which is noble and magical!"
Seeing that the emperor was happy, the chamberlain praised him even harder.
The emperor was even more happy.
After hearing too many flattering words in the court, like chamberlains, oh no, to be precise, it was He's almost straightforward praise and belief, but the emperor found it novel and comfortable.
"In that case, I will reward He with some more medicinal materials!"
"Well, if I can save He's life through this, it will be considered as the friendship between me and Bo Qing has been fulfilled!"
Kang Mo Kang Boqing: ...Thank you! I am so grateful.
We can't blame Kang Mo for feeling aggrieved, but he is now immersed in the ambivalence of recalling all the good things about his wife and imagining the future of spending time together with He Yi.
Especially when "He Tian" became critically ill again, the plan to marry a stepmother was put on the agenda again.
Perhaps because of the previous experience, and because of the fact that "He Tian" sacrificed her life to save her husband, the Dowager Madam no longer rejected the idea of letting Kang Mo marry another daughter of the He family.
Yongchang Bo and his wife were extremely active and took He Yi directly from Qingyun Temple to the Duke's Mansion, and on the grounds of "taking care of their sister", they left He Yi in the Duke's Mansion again.
The only one who didn't express his stance was "He Tian".
However, everyone felt that it was He Tian's idea to let his cousin be his husband's stepmother.
Now it's just bringing up old things again, and "He Tian" has no reason to object.
In this way, no one said anything on the surface, but many things began to happen secretly.
The maids and mothers-in-law assigned to He Yi by the Duke's Palace also began to try their best to fawn over the future wife of the Duke.
There are also some people who take advantage of the situation and secretly find ways to rely on connections in order to perform well in front of their future wives.
He Yigang had just spent one night in the Duke's Mansion, and he clearly felt a huge difference.
Not to mention that the servants who were originally high-minded suddenly kowtowed to her and fawned over her, some clues could be gleaned from just the meals sent to her in the kitchen.
"Third Miss, this is the bird's nest stewed specially for you by the kitchen. It's the best blood bird's nest!"
The maids He Yi brought from Yongchang Bo's Mansion came over happily carrying a tray. As they walked away, they said proudly, "I said I wanted to give them some money, but they only said it was given to you as a filial piety. Where can I collect money?"
?”
He Yi felt very relieved after hearing this.
You know, the last time He Tian was seriously ill, when she first came to the Duke's Mansion, she suffered a lot of injustice from those evil servants.
I won’t go into gossiping and pointing fingers. The main thing is that they will deliberately make things difficult in some aspects.
At first, she couldn't get used to the bland food cooked in He Tian's small kitchen. She wanted to change the taste, so she asked the maid next to her to take the copper coins to discuss with the cook.
As a result, the dishes were not changed, but instead they were squeezed out by those unscrupulous slaves who looked down upon others.
He Yi was so angry that day that she almost wanted to go home.
Later, when He Tian's condition became more and more serious, and Wei Guogong became more and more close to He Yi, those dog slaves who acted according to the prevailing situation restrained themselves a little.
However, this is the first time that I have been so proactive in fawning over you today.
"Miss Third, someone from the sewing room came to ask, saying that I want to make new clothes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. What style do you want? Do you have a favorite fabric or embroidery pattern or color?"
Another little maid ran over happily, her face flushed, and her eyes full of pride and excitement.
The sewing room is also here to curry favor?
He Yi tried her best to hold on, not wanting to be too obvious and avoid being laughed at.
But she was really happy.
The second time she came to the Duke's Mansion to "attend to an illness", she finally realized the beauty of "power"!
However, before He Yi could be excited for too long, the reward from the palace came.
The imperial concubine's imperial congratulations, the golden and red gown, and several boxes of precious medicinal materials.
Standing in the corner, He Yi's eyes were red with envy, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a twist.
"...She won't live long! No matter how beautiful she is, it can only last a few days!"
"Wait for me... me, I can also get a royal title, and I can also get rewards from the nobles in the palace!"
He Yi tried her best to comfort herself with such words.
However, before she could adjust her mood, a new round of "blows" came again.
The chamberlain who had just returned to the palace actually came back and gave "He Tian" a large box of medicinal herbs and ingredients.
The emperor rewarded him twice in succession. The first time could be said to be for Kang Mo's sake, but what about the second time?
Perhaps the emperor also admired He's heroic feat of sacrificing his life to save her husband.
The emperor expressed his attitude in this way, and the queen mother, empress, four concubines and other female family members also ordered their chamberlains to send various rewards.
What kind of gold and silver treasures, what kind of cloth and medicinal materials...the level is slightly inferior to the emperor's rewards, but they are all excellent.
The key is that this kind of dignity really makes He's face very prominent in the circle of ladies in Beijing.
Many people who are familiar with the Duke's mansion came to congratulate him for this.
Several female relatives of the Yan family also came, and Yan Jiuniang acted coquettishly and pestered her mother to follow them.
While Yan's mother was chatting with Mrs. Yan, Yan Jiuniang went to the bed in the back room and finally saw Mrs. He who had woken up.
"...Mrs. He, you, you must be good!" Don't let that bitch succeed.
Yan Jiuniang did not ignore the woman in a pink skirt hiding in the corner. Humph, Mrs. He was still alive, so He Yi came up to her by herself. How shameless!
Outsiders said this was Mrs. He's intention, but Yan Jiuniang, who had witnessed a certain scene, felt that it was two bitches taking the opportunity to have a secret affair.
"Miss Jiu, thank you, I will be fine." He Tiantian felt the kindness in the eyes of this thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and said softly.
Yes, it must be done well. Anyway, Mrs. He is now the first-grade imperial concubine of the emperor. Even if the Duke of Guo really changes his mind, there is no fear of him messing around!
