In the morning, the Taiwei Mansion received an imperial edict from the palace.
The little eunuch who delivered the order said loudly in a high-pitched voice: "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Nangong Jade Tea has meritorious service in escorting, and is specially named a virtuous noble concubine. Her father has taught his daughter well, and is specially named a first-class protector of the country.
, resume his old position.”
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to return to the court. Nangong Mo's heart was filled with disbelief.
"Congratulations, Lord Taiwei, oh no, it's the Lord Protector." The little eunuch said to Nangong Modao with a flattering smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. Please come in and have a cup of tea." Hiding his joy, Nangong Mo was about to invite his servants to serve tea.
"No, when we have the opportunity next time, our family will definitely come to ask for a cup of tea from the Protector. But now, our family has to go to the Yushi Mansion, so I won't bother you."
I have heard from my daughter that the censor's daughter will also enter the palace, so I am not surprised by this.
"In that case, thank you very much, father-in-law." He raised his hand to have a brocade bag brought up. Nangong Mo took the brocade bag and said to the little eunuch, "Father-in-law, this is a small thing, please accept it with a smile."
"Since the Lord Protector is so respectful, then our family should be more respectful than obey his orders." After taking the brocade bag, the young eunuch left with the messenger.
After the little eunuch left, Nangong Mo was in an ecstatic mood, but slowly calmed down. As for the dream, the emperor obviously would not believe it easily. But why did the emperor still make Ming'er a noble concubine, and even gave him the title of protector of the country?
Sir? Is it possible that the emperor is already aware of his meeting with that person?
Suddenly, Nangong Mo, who was shocked by this idea, couldn't stand up. He forced himself to calm down and slowly walked back to the study.
"Dad, the emperor treats us so kindly, so you can't do stupid things. It's best to cut off all contact with the people over there. Otherwise, if you are discovered, it will be a serious crime that will implicate the nine tribes." Nangong had been waiting for Nangong Mo in the study for a long time.
Yu Ming, before returning to the palace, did not forget to warn her father.
It seems that we can no longer meet that person. The most important thing is to protect himself and Ming'er. Nangong Mo made a decision secretly.
"Ming'er, I'm really in trouble for you. If your mother hadn't died early, the Queen Mother wouldn't have turned to the censor now. From now on, you will be alone in the harem and have to take good care of yourself. After this gain and loss of official position,
As a father, I deeply understand the difficulty of "accompanying the emperor is like accompanying the tiger". Your Majesty, it is far from being as simple as we imagine. In everything, remember to be careful in your words and deeds, and do not disobey the Emperor's wishes easily."
"Well, Ming'er will remember daddy's reminder. Once this incident is over, I don't know when or what month I will be able to see daddy again. Mom is no longer here, and daddy has to take care of himself." As she said this, she couldn't help but feel sad.
Nangong Yuming covered her face and cried bitterly.
"Silly boy, stop crying. It's getting late. Go back to the palace quickly. It'll be bad if you're late." Nangong Mo urged as he reluctantly said goodbye.
"Dad, take care." After Nangong Yuming said that, he left the study. He and the maid who had been waiting for a long time came to the door and got on the carriage back to the palace.
Nangong Mo, who watched his daughter leave, sat back on his chair. In an instant, he seemed to have aged more than ten years, and his face was full of the vicissitudes of life that he had realized.
Censor's Mansion.
The same young eunuch just now read out the imperial edict: "Yu Wen Xueyi, dignified and virtuous, possessing both ability and political integrity, is specially named Concubine Xue. I honor her."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Yu Wenliang and Yuwen Xueyi accepted the order to express their gratitude.
"Congratulations to Concubine Xue. It's getting late, so our family will return to the palace right now." After announcing the decree and saying congratulations, the young eunuch prepared to leave.
"Father, please wait a minute. This is a little bit of my kindness. Please accept it." Yu Wenliang thrust the thank-you gift he had prepared into the little eunuch's hand.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Censor." Putting the things away with his backhand, the little eunuch left the Censor's Mansion.
"Dad, I am finally going to the palace. Once I enter the palace, my aunt is helping me. I don't believe that I will not be the queen of brother Jun Moli!" Xueyi's beautiful face was full of pride.
"Bastard! Walls have ears. Can you say this casually? Even if you think about it, you can only keep it in your heart." Yu Wenliang narrowed his fox eyes and shouted.
"I don't care, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Brother Jun Moli is mine, and no one in the palace can think about it. Only I am worthy of brother Jun Moli and qualified to be the king."
Brother Mo Li's queen! Dad, you have to help me!" His arrogant tone did not calm down because of Yu Wenliang's shout.
"Don't worry, dad has already made an agreement with your aunt. From now on, the queen must be you. Besides, there is dad. In the future, dad will also arrange for your brother to join the court to help you. But now, the time is not ripe yet.
You should also work harder to give birth to a heir as soon as possible, so that we can be more sure." Yu Wenliang, a wily and scheming person, carefully told Xueyi all the things that should be paid attention to when entering the palace.
His Yuwen family is destined to continue to be glorious in the history of the Jun family. A touch of determination appeared in Yuwen Liang's eyes, and no one could stop him!
The next day, in the court hall.
The affairs of the Nangong family and the Yuwen family spread among the officials.
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the court.
"A few days ago, I originally thought that the Commander-in-Chief was going to be dismissed from his post, but unexpectedly, because of the Concubine Xian, things turned around. In the future, with the protection of Concubine Xian, the Commander-in-Chief's status will be even more respected..."
"Isn't that true? Moreover, it's not just Mr. Taiwei. If you look at the censor, Concubine Xue has entered the harem. From now on, she will be 'below one person and above ten thousand people'..."
"Well, that makes sense..." The lower-ranking officials gathered in small groups and discussed in low voices.
Nangong Mo stood silently in his position, turning a deaf ear to the discussions of the officials. He didn't know how much the emperor knew about his contact with that person. But at present, the most important thing was to show the emperor that he was
His loyalty. The emperor is just like a skilled chess player, and all the officials are just chess pieces in his eyes. The funny thing is that no one else has noticed it yet.
Nangong Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly, and Nangong Mo stood up straight again unmoved, waiting for the morning court to begin.
"Congratulations to the Grand Lieutenant and the Imperial Censor." All the officials congratulated them one after another.
Nangong Mo just smiled and nodded in response to everyone's congratulations.
But Yu Wenliang accepted it with a helpful expression, "Haha, I will have to rely on your support a lot in the future."
"Definitely! Definitely!" Although the officials were surprised by Nangong Mo's actions, they still responded to Yu Wenliang's words.
"What's wrong with the Protector? You've been promoted, but you're not happy at all?" Yu Wenliang looked at Nangong Mo opposite, thinking deeply. What's wrong with Nangong Mo? He's a lot more restrained.
"What are you saying, Master Yushi? I have the honor to return to the court because of the emperor's persistence. I am naturally grateful. To be granted the title of Lord Protector is also the emperor's trust. I should have been bruised to pieces and my body to pieces."
No need to say goodbye. Why should I say it if I am not happy?" Nangong Mo turned around and said to Yu Wenliang, then stood up straight again.
