Chapter 252 The Edict on the Establishment of the Empress (Update 8)
From beginning to end, her porridge never showed up.
What made her even more troubled was the ladies. One said that I had a nephew, and the other said that I had a grandson... Although Mrs. Xu politely refused one by one - "I'll talk about it later", these ladies didn't.
They all said that they would come to visit us another day, or that they would invite you to come and have tea with us another day.
I go!
The Queen Mother's autumn banquet was like a blind date party!
And there is still no blind date meeting for men!
Why don’t you go on a blind date with the Queen Mother?! Isn’t the Queen Mother’s son more attractive?!
Wen Xiaotu's idea has been thought of by other noble ladies for eight lifetimes, but it's a pity that the emperor refused to draft a draft, not even a disguised small draft! The ladies had to digest each other, introduce their own daughters, and size up other people's girls.
, if you like it very much, you can see if you have a son/grandson/nephew of the right age...
After dealing with these ladies for a long time, we finally got to the end of the chrysanthemum viewing banquet.
What I wanted to see couldn't be seen, and what I didn't want to see came to me in waves!
Exhausted!
In the carriage on the way back, Wen Xiaotu couldn't help complaining to Aunt Qiu Sang: "Why are they in the Queen Mother's Palace of Eternal Life...I am just the stepdaughter of the Duke's Palace now!" - She can't be so popular, right?
Aunt Qiu Sang said: "Your Majesty treats the Duke of Changguo so kindly. Now you are the only girl in the Duke's house. Furthermore, Madam, you are elegant and graceful. You are neither stage frightened nor rude in places like the Yinian Palace. You are like a married woman in every family."
In my eyes, it is even more rare."
After praising her, Sister Qiu Sang immediately added: "But that's just wishful thinking. Who is this lady? How can she marry an ordinary person?"
Wen Xiaotu's mouth twitched: Haha, the emperor is no longer an ordinary person? Is he an immortal?!
Qiu Sang saw that the Twelve Lady's face was not very good-looking, so she said: "But they don't know the inside story, and the girl doesn't have to be familiar with them. After the name is determined, they will naturally not dare to bother her again."
Wen Xiaotu said hurriedly: "I'm not angry. It's my first time to deal with such a fateful woman, but I'm just a little tired."
Sister Qiu Sang smiled, the Twelve Lady is still a fifteen-year-old girl after all.
In the Yi Nian Palace, all the ladies were gone, and Emperor Ming Zhao came to the Queen Mother with a roll of yellow silk.
Although the Queen Mother was tired, she still smiled when she saw her son, "The Emperor, tell the Ai family quickly, which girl of the Wen family have you fallen in love with? At this time, don't show off to the Ai family anymore!"
Now that the Queen Mother has passed her eyes, all she needs to do next is to have the Queen Mother stamp her seal on the imperial edict. Ming Zhao naturally no longer covers it up, and he said seriously: "It's Wen Ruchu." - It's my Atu!
The Queen Mother was startled, "Is it... the twelfth lady from Duke Chang's Mansion?"
Ming Zhao nodded, "What do you think, Queen Mother?"
How could the Queen Mother not be happy with such a good thing? She smiled and said: "Good! She is a dignified and decent beautiful girl! I wonder what position the emperor plans to give her?"
Ming Zhao then took out the imperial edict that had been prepared from his sleeve, unfolded it in front of the Queen Mother, and said seriously: "I want to marry her as my queen."
Before the Queen Mother had time to read the imperial edict, which was full of beautiful words, she was shocked by the emperor's words, "To establish a queen? The emperor wants to establish Wen Twelfth Mother as his queen? She, isn't she a concubine?"
Ming Zhao solemnly said: "She is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Changguo."
The Queen Mother frowned: "The Ai family is not old and confused, and Mrs. Changguo only has one daughter!" - Wen Rutu who was assassinated three years ago.
Ming Zhao did not hide anything, so he simply told the Empress Dowager that Wen Ruchu would be adopted from Yan'enbo's Mansion to Changguo Gong's Mansion.
The Queen Mother became even more shocked, "The emperor made such special arrangements just to elevate her status and make her his queen?!"
"Exactly!" Ming Zhao's eyes were deep, "This time, I just ask the mother to let her son get what he wants, so that he won't have the same regrets as before."
Thinking of Wen Rutu's death three years ago, the Queen Mother couldn't help but think of the emperor's grief and vomiting blood. She felt great grief in her heart and said quickly: "Okay, okay, as long as the emperor likes it, there is no objection to mourning the family." - Since she was born.
If you can whitewash your dignity, why should Aijia be a villain?
It's rare that the emperor now has someone he likes, so why should the Aijia disappoint the emperor again?
Saying that, the Queen Mother quickly asked Aunt Bai Tan to get the Phoenix Seal, and personally stamped the seal of "The Queen Mother's Treasure" on the edict of establishing the Queen Mother.
Ming Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will send someone to Changguo Duke's Mansion tomorrow to convey the order."
The Queen Mother was slightly surprised: "Is the Emperor just so impatient to wait?"
Ming Zhao closed his eyes: "I have been waiting for too long."
The Queen Mother sighed, the emperor was really moved again, "Does Jun'er... know about this?" - The only thing the Queen Mother was worried about was her only eldest grandson Jingjun.
Ming Zhao thought to himself that it was time to take Jingjun and Jinshu to see Atu, "He will be happy."
The Queen Mother lamented endlessly. Although the future empress was also the daughter of the Wen family and Jun'er's aunt, the Xian Sheng Queen had never entered Fengyi Palace back then. Now the emperor wants to marry the concubine of the Wen family as his queen. Jun'er
I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable.
"Emperor, don't embarrass Jun'er too much. Give him some time and let him accept it slowly." The Queen Mother showed affection.
"I know." Mingzhao agreed calmly, leaving Atu to explain this matter to her children.
However, if these two bastards dare to deny their mother, I will not be lenient.
I will not allow anyone to harm A'tu, not even my biological child with A'tu!
But the next second, the emperor felt a little annoyed. If he had known that Atu would come back one day, I, I...
Alas, how can I explain to Atu about the harem?!
Back at the Duke's Mansion, Wen Xiaotu was relieved and lay down early. Aunt Qiu Sang tucked her under the quilt and said, "Madam, please sleep peacefully. The canonization edict will be issued in only three to five days."
"
Unexpectedly, Grandma Qiu Sang’s estimate was too conservative.
The next morning, Wen Xiaotu was shaken out of bed by Tongxia Xiaolu, "Madam, wake up quickly! The angel has arrived!"
As soon as he said this, Wen Xiaotu's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, "What happened?!"
Aunt Qiu Sang was anxious and happy at the same time, "The angel has arrived. Madam, please quickly change your clothes and wash up. Go ahead to receive the order!"
Oh, it turned out to be the imperial envoy delivering the decree!
Yes, in this era, angels have completely different meanings in the East and West. In the West, angels are bird-men with wings. In the East, angels are envoys of the emperor, also known as "imperial envoys".
Wen Xiaotu muttered to himself: The emperor is really impatient!
In the palace, eunuchs are usually responsible for delivering decrees, but outside, the imperial envoys are usually Hanlin bachelors, and they are always dignified people. If the decree is important, they will even ask relatives and important ministers to come and announce the decree.
Therefore, the emperor appointed his only younger brother, Prince Sheng Ming Yongyao, as the "angel".
