The optimization services exchanged at Luluo are not immediately effective.
Intermediate optimization takes effect gradually within two weeks, and advanced optimization takes effect gradually within one month, unless she redeems the "immediate effect" service to shorten the effective time.
The "skin spot removal" and "advanced hair optimization" she redeemed last night are all advanced optimizations, and it will take a month for them to fully take effect.
She didn't redeem "immediate effect", so when she woke up the next morning, there was no obvious change on her face or head.
Feng Liao went to the rehearsal for the enthronement ceremony, and Yong Ruo went to pay respects to the Queen Mother Wei, with her head still wrapped in silk and only her face exposed.
As expected by Yong Ruo, after the event of greeting peace was over, Queen Mother Wei left her behind and brought her to the inner room alone.
"Do you hate me?" Queen Mother Wei asked her slowly, twisting the beads in her hand.
Yong Ruo said calmly: "The past is like smoke, so there is no need to mention it again."
What else
She has never been a person who is willing to be kind and friendly. As long as she is above the bottom line, she will choose the best solution for herself and the people she cares about.
"What about the late emperor, do you hate him?"
"The dead are gone, and there is no need to mention them again."
After a while, Queen Mother Wei asked her again: "Do you regret your original choice?"
"I don't regret it. Even if the empress gives me another chance, I will still make the same choice."
"But you have become like this now... don't you care?"
"I still care a little bit. But in life, there are many things worth caring about more than appearance."
"For example?" Queen Mother Wei asked her.
"For example: the peace of the world, the health, happiness, and peace of loved ones...Compared with these, the appearance that will wither sooner or later is really insignificant."
Empress Dowager Wei was silent for a long time, then smiled slowly, shaking her head while laughing.
"I thought that only an old woman like me who has experienced the world would understand this truth. I didn't expect you to say such things at such a young age. I really can't believe it."
Yong Ruo bowed slightly to her, and said with a slight smile: "Probably... the concubine has a little more wisdom than other women!"
"It's not just a little bit..." Empress Dowager Wei looked into Yong Ruo's eyes with undisguised admiration, "I am also in my fifties, and I have seen many smart women, but I have never seen such a beautiful woman." You are such a clever and open-minded woman! It is his blessing that Liao Er has you by his side. In order to make up for the suffering you have suffered, the Ai family will give you a big gift. Go back and wait!"
Yong Ruo thought to himself: To be called a "big gift" by Queen Mother Wei... Could it be that she wants to make herself a queen
If this is the case, it would be the best, and it can save myself and Feng Liao a lot of effort.
In this era, after all, "parents' orders" are emphasized.
If the Empress Dowager Wei came forward to advocate for her to be a queen, it would be easier to smooth out the opposition than Feng Liao's own decree.
In her heart, she naturally longed for the status of a regular wife. In that way, she can live happily ever after with Feng Liao.
Three years ago, to be his regular wife, she had to break her bottom line, and she could only choose to keep her bottom line. Now, the situation is completely different, and she doesn't have to choose between the two.
"Then I would like to thank you, Madam!" Yong Ruo thanked Queen Mother Wei with a smile.
Empress Dowager Wei looked at her with a smile: "Don't you ask what the gift is?"
"Your Majesty, naturally you won't be stingy! Why should I ask?"
The smile on Empress Dowager Wei's face deepened: "The Ai family is a little nervous to tell you that. If you are not generous enough, why don't you look down on me?"
After talking with Empress Dowager Wei for a while, Yong Ruo left.
Sun Mantang, the great eunuch of Kunde Palace who gave Yongruo the poison last time, was ordered to send Yongruo out of the palace.
When he arrived in the courtyard, Sun Mantang bowed deeply to Yongruo: "Slave and servant Sun Mantang, please punish me!"
Yong Ruo sighed slightly inaudibly, and stretched out his hand to help him: "I said: don't mention the past. Manager Sun will serve the Queen Mother well in the future!"
Sun Mantang said happily: "Yes! Thank you, Madam, for your generous Wang Han! If Madam is useful in the future, please just order her."
Yong Ruo nodded: "Understood. Manager Sun, please go back!" He turned and walked out of Kunde Palace.
After returning, all the information about Kurong Pavilion was also sent.
Because of the huge profits and invisible benefits of selling sterilization drugs, and because of the market demand caused by the wife and concubine system, illegal organizations selling sterilization drugs have always been like weeds, wild fires are endless, and spring breeze blows again.
The battle of wits and courage between the imperial court and the sterilization drug organization has never stopped throughout the dynasties.
Kurong Pavilion was established more than a hundred years ago.
At that time, the largest sterilization drug organization in the world, Kucaotang, was fatally hit by the imperial court, and internal strife and division occurred again. The founder of Kurong Pavilion was once a core member of Bitter Herb Hall.
Emperor Chengtai was given sterilization drugs back then, and he hated these criminals who were the heirs of bad guys.
He got some clues when Empress Chen and King Li fell from power. After he ascended the throne, he spared no effort to attack Kurong Pavilion, which caused great losses to Kurong Pavilion.
Later, the government affairs of the court were too complicated, and the emperor's attention to Kurong Pavilion gradually declined.
His attention has declined, and the officials at the grassroots level have become perfunctory. After all, this kind of case involves many powerful families, and they handle the case very passively.
As the imperial court reduced its strength, Kurong Pavilion slowly regained some vitality.
In the past few years, their "business" has grown bigger and bigger.
Three years ago, the sterilization medicine in Kurong Pavilion suddenly failed on a large scale.
Some people who had been sterilized suddenly became pregnant.
In order to hide their identities, some buyers did not dare to go to Kurong Pavilion to ask for an explanation. They were so angry that they made a detour and reported anonymously to the government.
In addition, in order to trace the cause of the failure of the sterilization medicine, Ku Rongge jumped up and down too aggressively, and also revealed some deeds.
The matter was reported to Emperor Chengtai.
Emperor Chengtai personally arranged for an undercover agent to break into the Kurong Pavilion.
In the past three years, the undercover agents have found some inside information, but they have not yet contacted the senior management of Kurong Pavilion, so the case has been pending and kept secret.
After Feng Baoquan was arrested, Feng Liao knew about the Kurong Pavilion and read all the confidential files.
The reason why he thought Feng Baoquan was from Kurong Pavilion was because an undercover agent sent back unconfirmed news:
The male version of the sterilization pill is only available in Kurong Pavilion. It is not something that can be bought with gold and silver treasures, it is only used by Kurong Pavilion in exchange for certain benefits that cannot be bought with money.
Moreover, in order to prevent competitors from using the finished medicine to reverse engineer the formula, under normal circumstances, Kurongge will prescribe the medicine on behalf of the other party instead of handing over the finished medicine to the buyer. Of course, this service is also not something that money can buy.
After reading these materials, Yong Ruo was thinking about two things:
If Feng Baoquan was really from Kurong Pavilion, why did he want to bite Fengshi? What exactly does the big boss of Kurong Pavilion want to do
It's a pity that Feng Baoquan had already died of serious injuries, and she couldn't ask for more information.
She was thinking about the Kurong Pavilion in her heart, and went to the donkey garden calmly, touched the donkeys that had been separated for more than three years one by one, added more than 30,000 points, more than enough to offset the points spent last night .
When Feng Liao finished handling the government affairs of the day, it was almost dusk.
He said to Yongruo: "I called Dr. Xu to come. Three years ago, when he came back from Tangquan Mountain, he said to me: Maybe it can make your hair grow again. Let him try it?"
Yong Ruo smiled slightly: "Okay! Although it is convenient to have no hair, it is still unsightly. It would be great if it could grow back."
It seems that Imperial Physician Xu's reputation as a miracle doctor will be raised to a higher level!
After Imperial Physician Xu came, he diagnosed Yong Ruo's pulse, prescribed a prescription, and said to Yong Ruo, "Your Majesty, it's best not to have too much hope. Even if the hair can grow back, it will not be as good as before; the scars on the body... It can’t be removed.”
Yong Ruo said with a very good temper: "I understand, the imperial physician does not have to worry, just rest assured to use the medicine."
Afterwards, Imperial Physician Xu took Feng Liao's Ping'an pulse, and then raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It seems that people really feel refreshed on happy occasions. Your Majesty's pulse condition is much better than a few days ago."
Yong Ruo smiled and said nothing, and decided to gradually remove the sterilization medicine from Feng Liao's body starting tonight.
Well, just once every three days, 10% is taken away every day, which happens to be finished in a month.
The third day after Yong Ruo returned to the palace was Feng Liao's enthronement ceremony.
Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager Wei and the concubines moved to the palace.
Of course, if you want to move to Cishou Palace, Shouan Palace and other palaces for the elderly, you must have a status of concubine or higher.
The concubines and concubines of the late emperor who did not have enough status had already been collectively sent to Puhui Temple to become monks before this.
After Empress Dowager Wei moved to the palace, she immediately summoned the Zong Renling, Zuo Zongzheng and several other elders of the royal family.
"The emperor is not young anymore, and it would be inappropriate to have no empress. The former Liangdi Yong of the Eastern Palace has both ability and political integrity, a noble character, and a graceful manner. The Ai family intends to let the emperor canonize Yong as the empress, but it is a big deal .”
"This..." Several officials of the Clan Mansion hesitated, "Madam, this Emperor Yong Liang's family background is too low, isn't it?"
An elder of the royal family added: "I heard that Emperor Yongliang's face has been completely ruined and her hair has fallen out. She is extremely ugly. It is not appropriate to make her a queen, is it?"
Empress Dowager Wei smiled faintly: "Marrying a wife is more about virtue than color. A woman without salt is extremely ugly, but she can become a good queen of Qi. The emperor never valued women's sex, so naturally he would not care about the beauty and ugliness of the queen. He should be in harmony with the queen." , set an example for the world, and pass on a good story for future generations.
"As for the family status, don't worry about it. It has been a long-standing practice for the queen's natal father to be named Marquis of Cheng En."
Everyone has nothing to say.
After communicating with the royal family, Empress Dowager Wei, together with Feng Liao, summoned important officials in the court and the academician in charge of the Hanlin Academy to explain the matter of establishing a queen.
Faced with courtiers' doubts about Yong Ruo's background, the Empress Dowager Wei clarified: Emperor Yongliang's talent, character, and bearing are all the best choices, and she is a good candidate for motherhood.
He also said: The emperor agreed to make Emperor Yongliang the empress, which is a wise move that values virtue and not color, and is worthy of praise and promotion.
The courtiers have more or less heard about the ruined appearance of Emperor Yongliang, and now that the "mother-in-law" Empress Dowager Wei has endorsed Emperor Yongliang's character, they no longer object.
The next day, the imperial edict enshrining Yongruo as empress was issued.
Father Yong was posthumously named Marquis of Chengen for this reason.
Because Father Yong had passed away, the title of Marquis Cheng En was inherited by the eldest son Yong Qiao.
The Zhou family, who was born as a girl, also became Mrs. Cheng Enhou.
On the day when the imperial decree was issued, Feng Liao lay on the bed, touched Yong Ruo's head again and again, and said with certainty: "It's really not my illusion! Your hair is fluffy, it should be hair growing... and, I think the scars on your face seem to have faded a bit... "
Yong Ruo smiled and said, "Physician Xu's medical skills are well-deserved."
