I went to the palace safely and came back safely as well.
Not only that, it also made Queen Fang extremely satisfied.
This was not easy to do. Mrs. Wei got on the carriage and leaned back on the soft pillow to rest. She was too lazy to move at her age. When she arrived at the palace, she kowtowed and knelt, and went through a whole set of etiquette. For her age, it was really a very strenuous job while she was wearing a formal dress and a heavy headdress. After a day's hard work, she really had no strength left.
Wei An gently used the beauty hammer to massage her legs. Knowing that the carriage could not move so fast for a while, he also lit a stick of calming incense so that she could sleep more comfortably.
When we returned to Marquis Dingbei's Mansion, the lights were already on.
The second and third wives were waiting at the Chuihua Gate. When they heard the news, they came up from the left and right to support.
When we got back to the room, hot water, hot meals and hot dishes were already prepared.
Mrs. Wei washed her face and felt much better. She smiled and sighed, "You are so thoughtful."
The Second Madam shook her head and said sincerely, "Mother has worked so hard. Entering the palace is not an easy task. I guess you haven't been able to eat properly all day. Can you give us some food soon?"
The third lady also quickly said yes.
Of course there was a banquet in the palace, but with so many people and so many kowtow rituals, the food would have been cold by the time the wind blew and it would have been impossible to eat it. It would have also consumed all of your energy and you certainly wouldn't have been able to enjoy your meal properly.
Mrs. Wei nodded, took Wei An to finish the meal, washed her hands, changed her clothes, and washed herself. Then she went back to the east side room and asked the second and third wives to sit down as well. She said, "The men may not be back for long. You don't have to wait for them. Just go and rest for a while."
The second and third wives knew that Emperor Longqing was happy and that a dinner had been prepared after lunch, and this one would definitely be held later, so they both agreed.
Mrs. Wei nodded and looked at Wei An: "Your two aunts are here. We will hear about this matter from other people tomorrow anyway, so why don't we just talk about it ourselves first. An An, what method did you use? Why is the little prince willing to get close to you?"
Wei An knew she was going to ask, so he smiled and said, "Nothing, I just put some spices on my wrist."
Old Madam Wei was a little confused, but knowing that she was indeed good at this, she stopped talking and just sighed: "You are so good at making a name for yourself. After all, you have to rely on the emperor and empress now. If you can please them, your life will be much easier."
After hearing the general outline of the situation, the second and third wives looked at Wei An differently.
Treat her more politely and approach her a little.
All the way back, Lan He had a smile on her face all the time, and she kept looking at Wei An from left to right.
Wei An asked her to come from Old Madam Wei's room. She was always steady and prudent, so it was rare for Yu Qing to laugh and scold her, "Are you courting death? Why are you looking at the girl like that?"
Lan He laughed and said, "Look at this girl, is she a fairy from heaven? How come she can do everything?"
Wei An paused.
Indeed, it revealed a bit too much.
It's enough. Any more would probably bring disaster.
Of course, she didn't just use some spices. She had just heard that children have a very sensitive sense of smell, and the smell brought from the womb would make them feel particularly at ease.
So she stepped forward to lend a hand, and held the old clothes that the little prince had worn before between her wrists for a long time. She did not hand them over to the palace maid until the little prince struggled and cried, then she squatted down.
It was just a matter of trying. Perhaps the little prince really felt uneasy because he had nothing in his hands.
It's just a coincidence, not worth mentioning.
However, the skill of needlework is really intended to seek credit and reward.
She smiled self-deprecatingly, went back to the room to wash up, turned over and faced Su Ping who was standing guard on the step, and the corners of her mouth curved up, revealing a smile again.
King Zheng cannot protect her openly now. With so much wealth in her possession, she will inevitably become the target of others. Instead of doing that, it would be better for her to find a higher place to live and raise her status higher. The higher it is, the more those who want to make plans for her will have to see how high they are.
She had a rare good sleep, and when she woke up early the next morning, she was no longer as haggard as she had been the day before. She went to the old lady's yard to pay her respects, full of energy.
Because the osmanthus flowers beside her yard were in bloom, she smiled and told the old lady that she wanted to make "The Moon in the Water" to eat.
Wei Yupo came later, greeted Old Madam Wei and then stood aside, looking pitiful as he wanted to say something but seemed to have concerns.
Mrs. Wei pointed at her and asked, "What does Apo want to say? Do you like the clothes I gave you yesterday?"
The tone was quite gentle, but Wei Yupo didn't feel the slightest bit of gratitude in her heart.
When life was difficult in the past, I felt it was rare to receive a kind word. But when times got better, I felt that these were what I was supposed to have, and I desired even more.
Before she could answer, a steward came running into the inner courtyard, stopped outside the courtyard and kowtowed, saying that an imperial edict had come down and asked Wei An to go outside to receive it.
The whole room fell silent for a moment. Wei Yupo looked towards Wei An and bit her lips tightly.
Old Madam Wei squeezed Wei An's hand hard and told her with a smile: "Go!"
The imperial edict was read personally by Eunuch An, who served Emperor Longqing. The gist of it was that Wei An had a gentle character, like a laurel orchid, and the important part came at the end.
Wei An finally got a title and became an official princess.
Emperor Longqing gave her the title of Princess Shouning.
Eunuch An was in a pleasant mood. When Wei An took the decree with both hands, he smiled and congratulated him.
She should have been given the title of Princess, but the previous title was proposed by the Ministry of Rites, and Emperor Longqing had never seen it, and forgot about it for a while. When he saw the clothes that Empress Fang brought out for the little prince, he suddenly came to his senses. I don't know what he thought of, but the next day he wrote down all the titles proposed by the Ministry of Rites, and wrote the two words Shouning and sent them to Wei An.
Shouning... ..
Wei An's fingers turned white as he held the scroll. He smiled and said "thank you, eunuch". Then the second master, the third master and Wei Yangqing personally treated eunuch An to tea.
The Dingbei Marquis Mansion is different now. This cup of tea is really drinkable. Eunuch An was smiling and took a thick red envelope when he left.
After Mrs. Wei learned about it, she didn't say anything for a long time. After a long time, she raised her eyes and looked at Wei An: "Tell your mother."
After so many years, Wei An finally got back what belonged to him, and he should tell Ming Yuyou about it.
