Two more days later, the emperor finally returned to the palace.
In the past two days, the queen probably realized that her actions had caused resentment, so she tried her best to clean the palace. The concubines who had been cleaning up all over the palace before also returned to their residences and acted as if they were giving some gifts to the palaces, which was also considered to compensate them for the grievances they had suffered these days.
When the emperor returned to the palace, the queen called a group of concubines to the front of Zhengyang Hall, respectfully led the lead to kneeling on the ground, waiting for the emperor’s imperial carriage to arrive.
The emperor was still in the sedan chair when he went there. After more than half a month, the people who followed the sedan chair and walked to serve the palace were losing weight, and they looked dirty. When the emperor was helped off the sedan chair, he looked a little haggard, but the emperor used to use tonics on a daily basis, and there was still a glitter in his eyes, unlike being too hard-working.
“I wish you a blessing to the emperor—”
The queen took the lead in knelt down, which led to the crowd behind her kneeling down, each with respect.
The emperor was naturally satisfied, so he called everyone to get up, then slowly walked into the hall, and sat down on the dragon throne.
“Thank you for your hard work in my beloved concubine,”
The emperor’s voice was full of energy: “I have not been in the palace these days, and I have to work hard for everything. I have seen you lose weight a lot.”
After saying that, he raised his hand and called the palace servant in front of the door: “This is the bird’s nest brought back from Jiangnan. Please use it as you please. If you think it’s good, I will let them send some more to the palace.”
Before the emperor finished speaking, the two palace servants walked in with an exquisite box and stood in front of the queen.
This box is really exquisite. The dragon, phoenix and peony pattern on it is not only hand-painted, but also is covered with gold paint and jade paint. The whole picture is staggered and unique.
The queen showed a flattering expression on her face, and a few charms appeared on her face. She said with a deep impression: “I am really guilty of being so kind to the emperor. But as the queen, it is only natural for me to share the worries for the emperor.”
The queen said very appropriately. When the emperor heard this, she naturally smiled and was extremely happy.
“The Queen is always so sympathetic to my thoughts. When I left the palace this time, I came back to see that the palace was in order. The Queen’s contribution was naturally the first. Before going out this time, I decided to give your mother the wife of Xun Kingdom, and her status was the highest in the country of Xuan Xun Kingdom. What do you think?”
After saying this with a smile, the Queen was indeed shocked to her eyes widen and even forgot to thank her.
No wonder she was so surprised. This maid is rare. Just one catches a lot of people. There are not a dozen second-rank edicts in Xuanxun Kingdom, and there are also many first-rank edicts, such as Chu Nianhe’s grandmother, first-rank edicts.The imperial decree of Chen. However, this wife of Xun Kingdom was the first experience in this era of the entire Xuan Xun Kingdom. No matter who it is, it is rare to have such glory.
Speaking of this wife of Xun Kingdom, the queen also asked the emperor many times but did not get it. Before, the emperor always used various reasons to make excuses for her. Although she did not explain, she also understood that the emperor was worried that her mother’s power would not be too eye-catching because of her son. But the queen was unwilling to give up, and her mother chased her very hard. If she continued for a long time, she could no longer bear it and even dared not invite her mother to visit her in the palace.
Now that I suddenly got this long-standing wish, the queen was naturally surprised and happy, so she sent someone to return home immediately
to inform her mother.
“Emperor…”
The queen didn’t even have time to support Madam Zheng beside her, so she knelt down and said excitedly: “The emperor has such a generous reward, I have thanked the emperor for my mother!”
After that, she crawled down and knelt down.
Chu Nianhe, who was standing not far behind her, looked at all this and couldn’t help but feel coldness in her heart.
When she married Yan Lichen, she was the queen’s mother, Zhao, who was already the wife of Xun Kingdom, was taught the rules.
She still remembered that after entering the Seventh Prince’s Mansion, Zhao sent someone to invite her before dawn every day, so that she could not even sleep in. When she was in her house, she was not the one she favored the most, and when did she suffer such a thing? It was just because it was Yan Lichen’s grandmother, and she didn’t want her newlywed husband to feel lazy, so she went to pay tribute to Zhao day after day.
