"Tan Qianhu! What happened in the palace? Why hasn't our husband come back yet..."
Bian Xianglan and other girls walked out of the main room of the inner house one after another. It was already approaching evening, and they saw Tan Qingning running in wearing the official uniform of a white guard, panting and looking very anxious.
"Something big has happened! All nine gates are under martial law. You can only enter but not leave..."
Tan Qingning held Bian Xianglan's hand and said solemnly: "The Crown Prince and Prince Duan were brought back to the palace by the imperial army. The generals who were related to them were also deprived of their military power. Even our Jingdu Guards could not find out the news. If you knew
You must tell me something!"
"Oh~ we don't know either..."
Bian Xianglan said anxiously: "I was called to go to court early in the morning, and people kept coming to inquire, saying that I was locked up not long after entering the palace. Even the prince and Prince Duan came. There were also rumors that I had assassinated the emperor. This
Aren’t you talking nonsense?”
"Hey, hey, hey! The imperial edict has arrived, get ready to receive it..."
Song Chizhu suddenly ran in in a hurry, leaving a group of women stunned, but Song Chizhu waved and said: "Hurry and prepare the incense burner. All the eunuchs and maids are coming, and a carriage is following behind. If there is a house raid,
It’s time to dispatch the Arch Guard!”
"Oh my god! It's great, but I'm worried to death..."
Bian Xianglan almost cried with joy, and quickly asked her sisters to go into the house to get money and the incense burner. However, the people who were not ready to deliver the message arrived and actually brought many boxes. Everyone from the Disease Department also gathered over and surrounded the inner courtyard.
The water is blocked.
"Excuse me, who is the Princess Bian..."
A chief eunuch walked in flatteringly. Bian Xianglan was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly waved her hands and said: "I am the Bian family, but I am no longer the princess of the county. I am already married. My husband was promoted to Zhao Yunxuan for epidemic prevention.
You are mistaken!"
"That's right! Your Majesty, you are the princess of the county. Please kneel down and accept the order..."
The leader of the eunuchs smiled and unfolded the imperial edict, puffed up his chest and read loudly: "By Heaven's support, the emperor, I am pardoned! I promoted my adopted son Zhao Yunxuan to the title of Prince of Yongshi County, and named his side wife Bian, and Xie as a noble lady of the fourth rank.
Two sets of red brocade lion court robes, a thousand taels of gold, ten boxes of pearls, and hundreds of pieces of brocade..."
"..."
Everyone in the Zhao family was stunned. Not only did Bian Xianglan open her mouth so much that she could swallow her fist, but Tan Qingning also had a look of disbelief. The huge crowd outside the hospital almost went up to the sky, and they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Oh My God!"
Song Chizhu turned his head in disbelief and stammered in a low voice: "I, did you hear me right? Why did Mr. Zhao suddenly become a prince after staying in the palace for a long time? This, I have never heard of this.
There are some rules, can I still be a prince if I have a foreign surname?"
"Appreciate this!"
The chief eunuch put away the imperial edict with a smile, helped up the stunned Bian Xianglan with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Empress! Mr. Zhao is already the emperor's godson, so you are naturally the princess of the county. Of course! I can only call you Er in my official title.
Madam, but in private situations you are the princess!”
"Godson? Your Majesty has become our master's godfather..."
Bian Xianglan was simply confused and shocked, but the eunuch actually handed over a large stack of banknotes and said with a smile: "This is a little bit of the wishes of our ceremonial supervisor. Your Majesty must accept it. Please inform the county prince.
We are the eunuchs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, the Supervisor of Ceremonies!"
"This is the wedding money collected by our Shang Baojian, Shang Baojian..."
"We are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, everyone is out..."
"Supervisor of the Shrine, we are Supervisor of the Shrine..."
The eunuchs and maids actually came up in turns to give gifts. Song was eating pigs.
Squatting on the ground with his mouth wide open, he looked like a big toad that was about to suffocate. He had really seen this for a long time today. Not only did he meet the prince with a foreign surname, but he also saw eunuchs and maids queuing up to give money.
"Empress! We are from the clan's mansion, and this is your immunity card..."
A eunuch flatteredly handed over two gold medals, with a thick stack of banknotes underneath, and said with a smile: "From now on, you two will be relatives of the emperor. When you two enter the palace later, come with us to register."
That’s it, our clan’s family is far away from the harem, and we are innocent!”
"Are we going to the palace too?"
Bian Xianglan and Xie Yingying were both frightened. The leader of the eunuch nodded and said: "That's right! Please put the two ladies into court clothes and bring two concubines to accompany them into the palace. Just wear gorgeous clothes that fit under the box. The county prince is here
We are having hot pot in the palace, and the two ladies are waiting for us!"
"Eat hot pot in the palace? Yuanyang's..."
Song Chizhu felt that he was about to die, and what he heard was all hallucinations, but Tan Qingning hurriedly asked: "Sir, I am Tan Qingning from the White Guard. I have worked with Mr. Zhao in Lantai, can you tell me what happened?"
What's going on?"
"Oh~ you are Mr. Tan, and I happen to have your warrant..."
The chief eunuch took out a document and handed it to her, and whispered: "Please immediately select twenty female field guards who are reliable, loyal, and have no bad deeds. They can be dressed in black or white. Someone is waiting in Wuyang Gate, remember!
Don’t mention this to anyone, and leave immediately!”
"Female field guard? This needs to be investigated..."
Tan Qingning realized something, but the other party hurriedly said: "Shh~ You are a guard in white. You know how to keep secrets. Don't ask questions outside. We don't dare to talk too much. Anyway, our chief ceremonial officer is innocent, Mr. Wanwang."
Do it impartially!”
"The official understands and will issue a gag order..."
Tan Qingning nodded seriously, winked at Bian Xianglan and left immediately, while the chief eunuch deliberately raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty! Nothing happened in the palace, they are just some blind bastards eating empty wages. The county prince is investigating.
!”
"Thank you, father-in-law! Let's go inside and change clothes first..."
Bian Xianglan couldn't believe it, so she could only walk dizzy into the room. Several palace maids followed them in holding brocade boxes. The eunuchs also moved the imperial gifts into the main room, and they were all more beautiful than seeing their mother-in-law.
He was still polite and kept talking about how innocent he was.
"Aunt Luo! Liuliu! Change your clothes and follow us into the palace..."
Bian Xianglan stood in the bedroom with her arms open. The palace maid kindly helped them put on their court clothes. Yu Niang took the servants out to distribute sweets and wedding money, and also sent people to the Bian Xie family's shop in the capital to announce the good news.
We want the entire Lantai County to know that Zhao Guanren has become the prince.
"Master Song! Why are you still sitting on the ground..."
Yu Niang looked at Song Chizhu in confusion, only to see Song Chizhu sitting on the ground with a sad face, and said sadly: "Yu Niang! Do you think I am crazy? I actually heard that your master has become a prince.
, slap me quickly and let me wake up!"
"Pa~"
Yu Niang slapped him without hesitation, causing Song Chizhu to scream: "Ah! You are so slapped. Then tell me how your master did it, I am going crazy!"
…
"Wow~ The palace is so big, Aunt Luo! Have you ever entered the palace..."
The four girls of the Zhao family walked nervously inside the urn city. The eunuchs and maids walked in small steps with their heads lowered. On both sides were red inner walls that were tens of meters high. The palace guards with double posts stood above them and looked down at them.
People can't help but feel awe in their hearts.
"Sixty-six! Don't look around.
, you must follow the rules when entering the palace..."
Luo Tan was as nervous as a little quail. It was her first time entering the deep palace. But after passing through two palace doors in succession, Bian Yulei suddenly pointed at a door and shouted: "Look! This is our master.
The word, Mr. Zhao Daguan came here for a visit!"
"What?"
The eyes of Luo Tan and other women suddenly popped up. Sure enough, they saw Zhao Guanren's travel commemoration, but Bian Yulei asked happily: "Sister, palace lady! Can you leave a message on the palace door? The emperor won't scold you?"
"Empress! Please don't call me sister, I am a slave..."
The palace maid turned around in fear and said: "No one has carved words on the palace gate. Prince Yongshi is the first, and I am afraid he will be the last. The courage of the prince is not ordinary!"
"That's right! He is my husband..."
Bian Yulei laughed arrogantly and walked for a while before arriving near the middle hall. Tan Qingning also walked in with twenty female guards, ten in white and ten in black.
All weapons were confiscated.
"You can't speak loudly at the front, otherwise you will be slapped..."
After a palace maid gave a reminder, the two groups quickly gathered together, leaving only four people in front to continue leading the way. However, Tan Qingning and others were also very nervous. No one knew what was going on. What if they did something wrong?
But he will be beheaded.
"Harem?"
A female guard screamed, and Tan Qingning hurriedly kicked her. She saw two groups of male and female guards guarding the harem door. The female guards searched her body one by one before letting them go. At this time, Bian Yulei did not dare to be naughty anymore and was nervous.
He didn't even dare to take a breath.
"Why is there no one there? It's so deserted..."
Miss Xie Er couldn't help but look around. The inner harem was originally a narrow road with high walls. No one could be seen and it was extremely quiet. It made her feel depressed and gloomy. All the ladies imitated the palace maids and walked with their heads down and their eyes carefully.
Look left and right.
"Bang~"
Bian Yulei suddenly bumped into the back of a palace maid. The palace maid suddenly stopped and knelt down. When they looked up, they discovered that a beautiful woman in palace clothes appeared at the door of the other courtyard in front of her. She was accompanied by a chief eunuch. She must be a high-ranking official.
Level concubine.
"Kneel down quickly! Concubine Wu Xian..."
The little palace maid reminded her in a low voice, and the other girls hurriedly knelt down. The rules of the harem were to salute and not speak, but Concubine Wu Xian stepped forward and said in surprise: "Huh? Why are there even people from the Imperial Guard's Field?
What kind of errand are you doing?"
"To return to the imperial concubine..."
Tan Qingning lay on the ground and said solemnly: "I don't know! I have just entered the palace and haven't seen Shangguan yet. The emperor only asked me to wait until I enter the palace to be dispatched!"
"Well! You guys must do your responsibilities with all your heart, handle the matter impartially, and don't tolerate any cover-ups. Do you hear me..."
Concubine Wu Xian came over with great aura, looked down at them dignifiedly, and then waved people over to reward them. The group of women all knelt down to receive the gift in fear. Many of them didn't even see what she looked like. When they looked up, her face was
Extremely rude thing.
"Thunder! This heaven-reaching cultivation level, the sky will collapse, the sky will collapse, the earth will collapse, the purple gold hammer, the purple lightning! This mysterious true flame, the Nine Heavens Hanging Sword, will change the sky, use the nunchucks quickly, hum ha ha ha..."
suddenly!
A rough shouting sound suddenly sounded, as if a rag collector suddenly broke into the college entrance examination room. The expressions of the female family members of the Zhao family changed drastically in an instant. The voice behind them was so familiar.
"Oops!"
Tan Qingning said with a face full of horror: "Why did he come into the harem? He must be too courageous. Breaking into the harem without permission is a capital crime!"
