Chapter 228 Empress Dowager's Edict Sealed by the Empress Dowager!
Chapter 228 The Empress Dowager’s Edict is sealed by the Queen Mother!
Prince Sheng Mingyong Yao's third regency lasted less than ten days, and he was sent back to the palace to rest by his brother's imperial decree. He was simply a tool that was thrown away after use. Prince Sheng himself was said to be quite happy.
We returned home happily and even set off two firecrackers to celebrate.
King Sheng was relieved from the post of regent, which meant that the emperor could handle the affairs of the court personally, which also meant that the emperor's condition was greatly improved.
His Majesty the Emperor also sent a message back to Beijing, saying that he was no longer seriously ill and would return to the palace after a few days of rest. He asked the Queen Mother to rest at ease and not to travel too hard.
The Queen Mother's heart finally fell back into her stomach.
In the early autumn of the seventeenth year of Tianze, the emperor returned to Luan.
The first thing after returning to the palace was to take the imperial concubine to the Yinian Palace to finalize the matter of the Queen's appointment.
In order to make this scene more realistic, during these days of pretending to be sick, Mingzhao deliberately cut down on three meals a day and did some moderate indoor exercises. The result was that in half a month, he lost a lot of weight. Although it looked like
He looks very good, but he does not look as strong as before.
The Queen Mother saw this in her eyes and immediately shed tears, "Yongzhao, you frightened my mother!"
The emperor looked indifferent, "The queen mother sent word to others that she agreed to make the concubine the queen, but is it true?"
The Queen Mother's old face looked a little ugly for a moment, and her displeased eyes swept across to Wen Xiaotu who was standing aside.
Wen Xiaotu: I was shot while I was lying down! Please, can’t you coax the Queen Mother first and then bring this up?
Ming Zhao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't the queen trying to trick me?!"
The Queen Mother glared at her son angrily, "Aijia keeps his word!" - The Queen Mother really didn't dare to force her eldest son now. No matter how much she looked forward to the prosperity of her grandchildren, after all, it still didn't matter if she didn't have a son.
The emperor took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve and said, "This is the Queen's decree. Please use the Queen Mother's seal."
Wen Xiaotu just wanted to cover his face and find a place to hide.
The Queen Mother's face turned livid, "Yong Zhao! Did you come here to anger the Ai family on purpose?" - As soon as you came back, you forced the Ai family to use the seal. What evil had the Ai family done?
Ming Zhao said with a serious look: "Please give me your seal, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother was so angry that her heart ached. Could it be that she was separated from the Ai family mother and son?
Grandma Baitan beside her hurriedly whispered: "The Queen Mother, we can't let the Emperor get so angry that he hurts his body."
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, saying, "Go get the Ai family's gold seal!"
After all, the soft-hearted Empress Dowager gave in again. Aunt Baitan took the red gold treasure seal dedicated to the Empress Dowager, and stamped the bright red seal of "The Empress Dowager's Treasure" on the imperial edict in the book of jade seals.
.
In this way, there is nothing to criticize about this post-establishment edict.
Ming Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, then softened his expression, bowed and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
Wen Xiaotu also quickly followed suit and said, "I would like to thank the Queen Mother for her kindness."
The Queen Mother snorted angrily and gave Wen Xiaotu a hard look.
Ming Zhao then smiled and said to Wen Xiaotu, "You should change your name to 'Mother' from now on."
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly said humbly: "I haven't been canonized yet, so I don't dare to violate the rules."
The Queen Mother still looked angry, "Okay, don't be angry with Aijia from now on. Amitabha will be the only one in Aijia!"
Wen Xiaotu lowered his head. Although the emperor took the lead in this matter, in the final analysis, it was not to make her his queen. Wen Xiaotu really felt guilty about this matter.
Ming Zhao looked confident and confident, "If the mother is kind, the son will naturally be filial." The implication is: if the queen mother is unkind, he will be unfilial.
The Queen Mother was so angry that her nose suddenly turned crooked. Wen Xiaotu hurriedly tugged on the emperor's sleeves and said, "Please, please just stop it!"
Ming Zhao hurriedly covered his lips and coughed twice, "I entrusted my fifth brother to the court a while ago. My son was a little worried and wanted to go back and check it out, so he left."
Wen Xiaotu also hurriedly curtsied and said, "Then I will also retire..."
"Your Majesty, stay!" The Queen Mother interrupted Wen Xiaotu with a cool tone.
Wen Xiaotu was stunned, leaving her alone?! Could it be that he wanted to show her off?
Ming Zhao frowned, "Queen Mother——"
The Queen Mother glared at her son bitterly: "Are you afraid that the Ai family will swallow up the Wen family alive?!" - At this juncture, what else could the Ai family do to her?
Hearing such thoughts, Ming Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then Atu will stay and talk to the queen for a while, and I will go back to Qian'an Palace."
Wen Xiaotu: Just leave me to your mother like this?!
In Wen Xiaotu's astonishment, the emperor slipped away.
Wen Xiaotu:MMP!
As soon as the emperor left, Wen Xiaotu felt that his head was as big as a bucket. Although the Queen Mother was not a ruthless master, she was really difficult to serve...
The Queen Mother's tone was cold, "Why does your concubine look so restless?"
Wen Xiaotu's scalp was numb, "I am really scared these days..."
The Queen Mother snorted, "The Aijia just want to ask you one thing -" The Queen Mother paused, "Was the Emperor really seriously ill before?"
Wen Xiaotu was stunned. The Queen Mother still had doubts about this? Then why did she have to make such concessions?
The Queen Mother looked up and down at the noble concubine Wen in front of her, "The Ai family has heard that you are the only one with no clothes on, serving the emperor day and night. Why is it that only the emperor has lost a lot of weight, but you have not lost weight?"
Wen Xiaotu instantly knew something was wrong. You must know that serving the sick is hard work. If you really try your best, how can you not lose weight? Either she is not dedicated, or the emperor is not seriously ill at all!
Wen Xiaotu could only say: "The emperor is indeed ill, but when he learned that the Queen Mother agreed to make him a concubine, he immediately recovered. Therefore, he served the sick day and night for the first two days. The Queen Mother knew that the Emperor Long My body is strong and my body has a good foundation, so I will be fine in two or three days. However, the emperor insisted on staying in the garden for many days, and I was a little puzzled."
After hearing this explanation, the dubious Queen Mother became convinced, "The emperor is just angry with the Ai family!"
Wen Xiaotu didn't know whether the Queen Mother believed it or not. Anyway, she had to insist that the emperor was indeed seriously ill.
"Oh, that's all, you can go back. These days, the Ai family has no intention of taking care of the palace affairs. Now the palace is in a mess. You can go and take care of the general affairs." The Queen Mother waved her hand feebly.
Wen Xiaotu breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, she was finally free.
The Emperor and the Queen Mother are having a cold war these days, and the Queen Mother naturally has no intention of managing the harem. She has been away for several months, and the harem is afraid that people will be upset and uneasy.
"Yes, I will take care of it now." Wen Xiaotu quickly retreated as he was relieved.
Walking out of the Yi Nian Palace, before Wen Xiaotu got on the carriage, he saw Luo Meiren appear out of nowhere. He hadn't seen her for several months. Luo Meiren seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and her face was pale and haggard. This was really true. It’s like he’s seriously ill. “Lome people?”
Mr. Luo bowed deeply and said respectfully: "Congratulations, your Majesty, you are about to enter the palace."
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly showed a dignified smile: "I will advise the Emperor and Queen Mother to take this opportunity to seal the Sixth Palace." - If she eats meat, she must give others a sip of soup.
Luo Meiren showed a sad smile, "Then concubine... I would like to thank the Queen!"
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly waved his hand: "You can't call it that now!" Even if he didn't wait for the canonization ceremony, he still had to wait for the imperial edict stamped with the empress dowager's seal to be officially issued and notified to the Sixth Palace before he could barely call it a day.
The Luo Mei curtsied again, "Yes, concubine...I understand, concubine, please retire."
Then, like a gust of wind, she disappeared.
Wen Xiaotu: This person has some brain problems...
