After the festival was over, Gong Yuhuang took Hua Qingchen and sat back in the car.
The chariot continued to circle the imperial city, and it was another hour before returning to the imperial palace.
The chariot drove directly to the entrance of the main hall of Ximiao.
Grandpa Wan rushed forward: "The emperor's auspicious time is here, it's time to pay a respect, the queen mother is already waiting."
Gong Yuhuang hugged Hua Qingchen horizontally and entered the Xi Miao Hall. Hua Qingchen was used to being held by him, and he was very safe.
"The emperor is here! The queen is here!"
As soon as the two entered the main hall, the palace attendant outside began to sing together.
Everyone looked at Gong Yuhuang and Hua Qingchen.
Gong Yuhuang put Hua Qingchen down, took her hand, and walked onto the long red carpet.
The hundreds of officials watched the two match up as if they were a couple of gods, they all couldn't help whispering.
"I heard that our queen is the relative sister of Queen Dongyao and Queen Nanyan, she looks really beautiful!"
"The emperor finally likes women, it's not easy!"
"The woman from Nan Yanhua's family is really amazing. All three sisters in the family are now queens!"
"Isn't it? It's really amazing to be able to bring back our emperor's hobby, and give birth to the emperor's eldest son, and continue the blood of the royal family of Xi Miao."
"Looking at the queen mother, the little prince looks like eyeballs. This queen doesn't need anything else, and only a little prince can stand by us.
"The queen is not just the little prince. Didn't you see the emperor spoil her so much? Even the emperor didn’t want to do it for her. Even if there is no little prince, she can stand still, not to mention that Nan Yan has given her a lot. The bride price!"
"I also heard that it seems to be given to the 15 cities, and also to the 200,000 army. Needless to say, the ten-mile red makeup is really willing to go to Nan Yan. It shows that her status in Nan Yan is not low. "
"I heard that it is Nan Yan's general. He is very good at leading troops to fight!"
Before Hua Qingchen arrived at Xi Miao, various rumors about her had spread throughout Xi Miao. Now she and Gong Yuhuang are married, not only in the court, but even the people of Quan Ximiao talk about this magical queen.
The two held hands, and when they reached the jade level, this was the first time the Queen Mother and Hua Qingchen met.
The queen mother was sitting on the phoenix chair next to her, holding Xiao Chenchen in her hands, looking at Hua Qingchen with deep eyes.
Although there are tassels in front of her,
But the queen mother with excellent eyesight still saw Hua Qingchen's appearance clearly.
I don't know if it's because of the fact that she looks like her little grandson, the queen mother feels very comfortable when she sees Hua Qingchen's appearance. It's not that kind of special enchanting, eye-catching appearance, but it's still beautiful, it's the kind of British beauty, the sassy kind of beauty, in short, it's very special.
When the Queen Mother was looking at Hua Qingchen, Hua Qingchen also glanced at the Queen Mother.
Although she is still a grandmother, she still looks very young, as if she is only thirty or forty years old, dressed in the court clothes of the Queen Mother, Xu is in power for many years and looks very majestic.
It can be seen that Gong Yuhuang actually looks a bit like a queen mother, perhaps because she sees her love for Xiao Chenchen, Hua Qingchen doesn't think she is terrible.
"Queen Mother, Ji Shi is coming soon." Wei Gonggong stepped forward to remind him in a low voice.
As soon as the queen mother was about to speak, she saw an eunuch rushing in: "Enjoy the emperor, the queen mother, the envoy from Dongyao is here to give the queen a dowry."
Gong Yuhuang and Hua Qingchen looked at each other immediately.
The Queen Mother also thought about the day that Grandpa Wei said that Dongyao's dowry was on the road, and immediately said, "Please, please."
The eunuch bowed and exited. After a while, there was a singing voice outside: "Dongyao messenger is here!"
Everyone looked towards the door, and Hua Qingchen and Gong Yuhuang also looked over.
Gong Yuhuang and Hua Qingchen knew the two people who came in, and they were He Liancheng and Ye Mingzhou.
"The foreign minister attended the Emperor Xi Miao, the queen mother, the queen." The two approached Gong Yuhuang and saluted them.
Before the queen mother could speak, Gong Yuhuang patted Ye Mingzhou on the shoulder: "Why are you two here in person?"
He knew the two very well, especially Ye Mingzhou, who had taken care of Qing'er a lot before, especially when Xiao Chenchen was in his stomach, but he drank his tonic soup every day.
Ye Mingzhou smiled and arched his hand at him: "Naturally, I am here to congratulate you, and on the order of our emperor to give his sister-in-law a dowry."
Ye Mingzhou said to the Queen Mother again: "The dowry prepared by our emperor is Baitai, Lanpo, Songling, Anling... Qingyu and other fifteen cities, as well as 200,000 elite soldiers. Our empress prepared ten boxes of jewelry, Boxes of gold and silver, ten boxes of jade, ten boxes of Ling Luo... The elite soldiers stayed outside the imperial city. As for the other dowries, they were carried into the palace. The box was from 15 cities.
City seal, and other dowry gift lists. "
Ye Mingzhou offered the box as he spoke.
Everyone in the hall was sluggish, and it was completely unexpected that the emperor of Dongyao would have prepared so many dowries for the queen.
Dongyao Fifteenth City and Nanyan Fifteenth City, isn’t that the 30th city? Thirty cities combined are bigger than some small countries!
And Dong Yao also gave 200,000 elite soldiers, plus Nan Yan's 200,000 elite soldiers. Doesn't the queen have 400,000 elite soldiers? This is almost half of Xi Miao's strength.
How Dong Yao and Nan Yan treat their queens so well, this shouldn't be their conspiracy, deliberately giving them so many cities and elite soldiers, and they won't want to annex them in the future.
I have to say that Xi Miao's courtiers are very imaginative.
The queen mother didn't expect that Dong Yao had prepared so many dowry gifts, she looked at Hua Qingchen solemnly.
The emperors of Dongyao and Nanyan were not confused. They were willing to give so many dowries. What is the charm of this woman? It is still said that the women of the Hua family have sorcery, and can fascinate the wise emperor to be irrational.
Everyone was dumbfounded, even Father Wei was dumbfounded, he didn't even come to pick up the box.
After a while, Grandpa Wei came back to his senses, and hurriedly came down to pick up the box, and sent it to the Queen Mother.
The queen mother opened the box and took a look. Seeing that the seal was true, her heart became more complicated. After a while, she said: "Since it is a dowry for the queen, the queen should keep it by herself."
As soon as the queen mother said this, the officials underneath became lively again.
"So much dowry is kept by the Queen? Only other things, these 30 cities and 400,000 elite soldiers? Should the Queen also take care of them?"
"Yeah, how much tax does Thirty City have in a year? Don't you want it for the Queen Mother?"
"How about four hundred thousand elite soldiers? All are in charge of the Queen, so the Queen Mother is not afraid of the Queen's rebellion?"
Ye Mingzhou was also a little surprised, this old lady didn't look like such an unreasonable person.
The queen mother blankly handed the box to Duke Wei, Duke Wei ran down and handed the box to Hua Qingchen.
Hua Qingchen glanced at the queen mother and nodded at her before letting Qing Zhi pick up the box.
The Queen Mother curled her lips, Xi Miao was not so poor that she wanted to use her daughter-in-law's dowry. Naturally, she would not touch her with this dowry.
