Regarding the expansion plan of his country, the emperor really kept his word and went to Wu Hantian for a friendly discussion in high spirits. Eunuch Li drafted several copies of the temporary imperial edict in the west courtyard and sent them to the palace and the hands of the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion respectively. At that time, several people's jaws dropped.
There were a lot of people waiting to see the show, but in the end the show took a turn that was unexpected. Wu Sheyue didn't see it at the time. Later, she heard that Jiang Qingxue fainted on the spot. She was choked and forced to drink tea for a long time before she recovered. Maybe she had been stimulated too much in the past two days, and just after she relaxed a little, she was even more angry.
The scene of the whole family kneeling down to receive the order was quite spectacular and harmonious, but basically no one was really happy for this reward, including Wu Sheyue himself. However, if you don't like it, you have to endure it. It is simply torture.
Since the emperor had achieved his goal, he did not stay long. Before leaving, he verbally rewarded Wu Ziqi with many precious medicines to replenish his body. He also meaningfully told Wu Sheyue that he would make good things from time to time and send them to the palace, which was very meaningful. It goes without saying. This kind and happy look confused everyone.
This distinguished guest comes and goes in a hurry, so the things that were interrupted before will have to continue to find a way.
It was still the same square hall and the same people as before, but the atmosphere was completely different. Everyone either had a dark face or looked at her with scrutiny and suspicion. However, no one asked her to kneel down and speak, and the situation was much better than before.
"Yue'er, what did the emperor say to you?" Wu Hantian seemed to be calmly sipping tea and brought up this topic first. He was really confused, and the emperor's attitude was so baffling.
Wu Sheyue held her hand and said timidly: "It was just a casual chat. The emperor also looked at Yue'er's tools and asked some questions about workmanship. It's nothing serious."
"That's it?" The old lady didn't believe it at all. Of course, she was right not to believe it.
Wu Sheyue looked innocent, "Yeah, even if we talk about state affairs, Yue'er doesn't understand. Last time the Queen asked Yue'er to come to the palace, but there was no news after that... Yue'er didn't know why the emperor came to visit specifically. But I didn’t dare to ask directly.”
"Then what's going on with this account ban!" Jiang Qingxue turned pale and angrily stirred her sleeves, with great anger hidden in her chest.
If Wu Sheyue dared to say that the emperor wanted to see her on a whim, wanted to give her some reward, and saw that she was too pleasing to the eye, the old lady and Jiang Qingxue would probably be so angry that they would have a heart attack.
"This..." She lowered her head, seeming a little pitiful and scared, "The emperor said that he liked Yue'er and asked Yue'er to come to the palace more often to accompany the Queen Mother..."
Wu Jinghua and Aunt Meng also looked at each other irritably and regretfully. How could the pie in the sky not fall on them? Wasn't Wu Sheyue taking advantage too much? Wu Jinghua thought even deeper. Wouldn't it be more suitable for the princess to match the young prince? She could not control the jealousy that gnawed at her heart, and a fire burned from the bottom to the top of her head.
But to say that the one who was hit the hardest on the surface was Wu Liuyun. She just froze on the chair for a long time with her eyes straight. It seemed that she had not yet accepted that her biggest situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion had been changed. Speaking of which, she is the most famous among the four beauties of Long Fu in the imperial capital! The princes and princesses were also very optimistic about her, and the queen mother and queen also liked her, but no one said that she would be made the county head and princess. This is unfair, right? ! What did Wu Sheyue do
Wu Hantian put down his teacup and said cautiously, "Since the emperor specifically said that you should come to the palace from time to time, you should take it to heart and don't let down the holy grace."
"Yue'er noted it down." Wu Sheyue nodded meekly.
There was an awkward and depressing silence afterwards, and Wu Hantian spoke again with difficulty, "Since the Emperor guarantees that you... have no intention of harming others, I will not punish you for this matter for the time being." He knew clearly that the benefits given by the Emperor, It was obviously to compensate Wu Sheyue.
"Thank you dad for believing in Yue'er." Wu Sheyue followed suit and got off the slope.
Jiang Qingxue's figure swayed in grief, she closed her eyes and bit her lower lip hard.
—
After dismissing the crowd in the room, only the stewards, Wu Hantian, Jiang Qingxue and the old lady, were still there.
Seeing that the old lady looked tired and was about to leave, Jiang Qingxue finally broke out. She grabbed the old lady miserably and cried out, "Mom! Ziqi, he still-"
"I know." The old lady lamented and waved her hands.
How could she not know? Wu Sheyue, this kid, is getting better and better, but it's a pity that he really refuses to obey discipline. It's okay to fight with those concubine children in the past. Maybe the more you fight, the smarter you will become. But this time the fight comes to the head, that is absolutely not possible! However, she can move the emperor to protect her and ask Yu Jing to surround her. How deep is her method
The old lady suddenly felt that she had neglected too much before. She only thought about her getting well and the prime minister's house, but she didn't think about whether she would be obedient in the future.
Jiang Qingxue glanced at Wu Hantian who was indifferent, then turned around and continued to attack the old lady, "It's good now. This hurts Ziqi, but she can still get a reward from the emperor. Wouldn't it help her prestige in the future? Can her character be suppressed at home? I am the only one who has reached this level, and she will not be able to go to heaven after that."
Wu Hantian calmly interjected, "The emperor just sealed her name, and now this matter cannot be touched."
"master!"
"Okay, I have a sense of discretion in this matter." The old lady frowned, "It's also my fault. After all, you have created a disaster."
"Could it be that Ziqi just let it go like this?" Jiang Qingxue was so anxious that she didn't care about her manners and she immediately screamed.
Wu Hantian finally became angry, "Why are you crying! The emperor came and had different attitudes. He and Yue'er must have talked about something privately! Since she can persuade the emperor to give her a reward and went out of her way to do it, she can't do it easily. .”
Jiang Qingxue cried harder. Although she understood the truth, she couldn't accept it.
"I told you that I'm just letting it go temporarily. How could you ignore Ziqi's injury? You can't put the overall situation first." The old lady glanced at her with some displeasure, then turned to ask Wu Hantian, "How is Ning Shuang doing lately? I don’t even come to say hello.”
When Ning Shuang was mentioned at this juncture, Jiang Qingxue suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She was shocked and turned her bloodless face to the old lady.
Wu Hantian's tone became much gentler, "She has difficulty moving now. After all, she may be a twin. It is always more difficult to raise her alone than usual. The doctor said that she must rest in bed. It is best not to walk around unless there is nothing."
"Hey, this family hasn't had a new member for more than ten years. Counting the days, I will have a grandson again in a few months. Let's ask the children to bring joy to this family and bring some good omens..." (To be continued)
