Lan Ting excused himself from feeling unwell and lay down in Princess Huangfu's palace. When Manmei came back, he saw that his mother-in-law liked Manmei so much, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
"Concubine, how good do you think your son is?" Lan Ting looked at Man Miao and asked Princess Huangfu.
Empress Dowager Liu and Concubine Huangfu were in great spirits, smiling and nodding, "Your choice this time is much better than last time."
Lan Ting argued dissatisfiedly, "Where did I choose last time? It was clearly Mrs. Song who came to her. If she hadn't been from Qintian Prison, I might have had to marry her. Fortunately, my mother had someone in Qintian Prison.
, otherwise I will have to be a cuckold."
Concubine Huangfu is Lan Ting's mother-in-law, and Empress Dowager Liu is Lan Ting's legitimate mother, so she is called the queen mother. Both of them watched him grow up, and they were in their palaces. Lan Ting didn't say anything.
I had no scruples and complained for a while.
Empress Dowager Liu sighed, "Normally the head of the Song family is not so short-sighted. Over the years, the Song family has mostly waited and waited before taking sides when things happened. This time, for some reason, they are suddenly willing to support the emperor."
"Maybe it's because the price offered by the emperor is high." Manmiao has watched too many intrigues and intrigues in TV dramas, and knows that the emperor can't cover up the sky with one hand. "It's probably because the price offered by the emperor is high, and the Song family wants to give it a try."
Bundle."
Empress Dowager Liu pondered for a moment, "Although the Song family is a local prince, it does not have much military power. Only by uniting with the Wu family can we have military power. If the local princes want to control the court based on this, it is too easy for them."
Manmiao sneered a few times, "Isn't it just that I want to take advantage of the emperor to control the princes? Anyone can make plans as they wish. If you want to scheme against others, you have to see if they can be schemed against by him first."
Lan Ting and the two nobles were both involved in conspiracies. How could they not understand these routines? A graceful sentence: holding the emperor hostage to convince the princes and asking them to high-five and praise them. Concubine Huangfu's eyes were filled with joy, and she patted her graceful lips with relief.
Looking over his shoulder, he praised Lan Ting, "This kid is very savvy, I really like him."
At that moment, she was smiling happily and pulling Manmei around, wishing she could see a flower on her face.
I wanted to keep Manmiao for dinner, but there were strict rules in the palace. Lan Ting excused herself that Manmiao needed to take medicine while eating. She didn't want to eat in the palace, so she didn't bring it and rushed home to eat for her health.
Only for this reason did she agree to let them go. She was repeatedly told to come to the palace to talk to the two of them often, and even gave them the badges for entering the palace. Lan Ting patted her chest to make sure before letting them go.
After Manmiao and Lan Ting left the palace, the servants of the Huangfu family who stayed outside the palace came forward to report that the elders of the Huangfu family had invited them to come over.
He probably wanted to ask about the details of his trip to the palace and see if he was bullied or anything like that.
Lan Ting pulled Manmiao into the car. Ever since he knew that Manmiao didn't like riding, he always accompanied her in the car. Although Lan Ting is a swinger, he still takes good care of women, unlike Wu Yong, a scumbag who treats women
There is no feeling of pity or pity at all.
When they arrived at Huangfu's house, one of the women in the family, Huangfu Xun, was the party representative. When they saw the two of them coming in together, before they had time to salute and say hello, they stopped and told them to sit down and talk.
Lan Ting was very eloquent and spoke vividly about what he saw. He imitated the expressions of Song Ying and the emperor very well. If this guy was unemployed, he could become a storyteller. His business would definitely be booming and the guests would be full.
Those ladies loved gossiping the most, and they listened attentively. From time to time they would praise Meimei for doing a good job. By the time the matter was finished, an hour had passed.
Lan Ting just had time to take a breath and take a sip of tea when the head steward of the Huangfu family walked to the door with a smile on his face, knelt down and said to Mrs. Huangfu, "Old lady, I'm so happy. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager give us
My lady has given me many rewards, and they are all in the mansion now, waiting for me to receive them."
This is the first priority. Everyone has tidied up their clothes. The wives of the Huangfu family are all high-ranking wives of the court, and they all have to put on corresponding phoenix crowns and harems. They have been busy for a while.
Fortunately, Huangfu Jin has been away all these years, so there are no status rewards. She only needs to dress neatly and cut her hair without changing clothes. Lan Ting also just came back from the palace, and the clothes are all ready-made.
.
After another half hour or so, the wives of the imperial family dressed up and came out to receive the reward.
A group of people were kneeling on the ground, listening to the eunuch reciting the decree. After reciting, Lan Ting skillfully stuffed everyone with several heavy red envelopes, and a group of people sat and drank tea with smiles on their faces.
While kneeling on the ground, Manmei heard a series of reward items. Many of the names were hard to understand. Some of them had a rough idea of what they were. Just looking at the boxes and cages on the ground, she knew that the rewards this time were definitely quite a lot.
The eunuch was very familiar with the Huangfu family. They were all working for the Huangfu family's concubine. Over the years, they had a tacit understanding, and they felt relaxed and comfortable sitting together drinking tea.
Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun accompanied them to talk first, and after the old lady and the ladies had changed into homely clothes, they came over to continue their greetings, most likely to praise Manmiao and Lan Ting's performance in the palace.
These eunuchs also have to stand in line. Like the courtiers, it is rare for them to change camps and rely on another mountain. Such kind of wallflowers are not taken seriously over there. They can easily be demolished across rivers and demolished bridges. The eunuchs have already stood in line for a long time.
After a long time, there were too many involved, and it was not easy to change sides, so I was on the same line with the Huangfu family and often sent them some news from the palace.
The eunuch who announced the decree was named Huang. He had a festive appearance, a round face, and a smile that looked like a Maitreya Buddha. Just looking at him made people feel much better. He was a eunuch, but his voice was not as high-pitched as other eunuchs.
Well, it doesn't sound so awkward or uncomfortable.
He opened the lid of the tea cup, took a sip of tea, praised the tea first, and then smiled at Old Madam Huangfu and said, "Old Madam, I don't know something. This time, Miss Huangfu made the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager very happy."
I'm so happy. They all came out of the palace and were full of praises. People in the Yongshou and Yongfu palaces were full of praises. She is worthy of being a young lady from the royal family. My young lady is very sensible and is a hundred times better than the girls outside."
The woman outside is talking about Song Ying.
Song Ying betrayed Lan Ting and fell into the emperor's arms. It was normal for the imperial family to look down on her, and even the two palaces despised her.
"I dare not hide it from the old lady. The Queen Mother and the Concubine have explained that before coming here, our family went to the Song Mansion to announce the decree."
