Chapter 86
When Gu Xizhao heard this, she didn't think much about it. She followed Xiao Liuzi's hand that she reached out to help, leaned back slightly, and then raised her hand to touch her stomach familiarly, and her posture was full of pregnancy.
"Madam, you have to be careful." Xiao Liuzi didn't let go of his hand until he saw that the man stood firm. Thinking of the long edict, he looked at Chan'er again and said cautiously: "Miss Chan'er, you have to pay attention."
It took only a moment to receive the order, but how could so many words come out? The enthusiasm of this drum is so flattering. Chan'er couldn't help but feel impatient, "I have served the Empress for so many years, and I will be careful. I only have a few words to do, so Eunuch Liu should make a quick announcement."
If it were just a few words, how could he sell so well and so obviously misunderstood? Xiao Liuzi opened his mouth, but he swallowed it again when he reached his mouth. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chan'er. His eyes turned to Gu Xizhao and immediately became respectful, "The slave is starting now."
Gu Xizhao waved his hand to start.
This edict was no different at first, and it was the same as the past clichés, but this set of words seemed to be a little more. Gu Xizhao felt a little puzzled, and Xiao Liuzi took a breath, looked at Gu Xizhao with a smile, and then continued to recite:
"The wife of Changle Palace is now Gu, who is famous in a famous family, is virtuous, kind, kind, respectful, frugal, and wise, with a heart of kindness and gentleness..."
When the eunuch said this, he always twisted his throat, slowly and sharply. The eunuch was even more serious when he proclaimed the order. He used a high-sounding and slow-tuning style. After listening for a long time, it would be a bit harsh.
Gu Xizhao's face turned red and white, and then black when she listened to these endless words of praise. When Xiao Liuzi finished reading, her face turned completely black.
Xiao Liuzi was so thirsty that he thought Gu Xizhao would be happy after listening to it. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gu was not only unhappy, but her face was about to drip out of water. He quickly calmed his expression and said carefully: "Madam?"
Gu Xizhao looked up at him, "The edicts read from other places are the same as this one?"
Xiao Liuzi nodded carefully, "That's natural."
Gu Xizhao raised her hand and rubbed her temples, "Who drafted this edict?"
"Mr. Shen, Minister of Rites." Xiao Liuzi felt that Shen Yi was pitiful enough by the edict of the post. He secretly glanced at Gu Xizhao, hesitated for a moment, and decided to let someone take the blame. However, he added a few more flattering words at the right time, "Mrs. Shen is afraid that he can't hold it back for a while, so he wrote the edict a little longer..."
Gu Xizhao looked at him coldly and stopped seeing someone. Then she took the edict in his hand, looked at the jade seal in the lower right corner, and snorted coldly, "This is probably an unprecedented edict to establish the queen."
Xiao Liuzi smiled embarrassedly and didn't know how to answer. He felt that this edict was not only unprecedented, but would probably not be the same in the future.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Xizhao felt so frustrated that he pinched the edict in his hand, and wanted to beat Zhao Sansi up immediately. She was very thoughtful, but she didn't know that this was the little bastard's idea.
She felt that she was too exaggerated to listen to her. How could she think of her if others listened to her?
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse and wrong, Xiao Liuzi couldn't bear it and wanted to run away. "Madam, there are other instructions. If not, then the slave will take his leave first and have to go to other palaces..."
Gu Xizhao threw the edict in her hand over and gave a wink at Chan'er. Chan'er immediately took out a corner of the silver and handed it over, "Thank you for your hard work, my father-in-law has gone this trip."
"No, no, no, no, no, no," Xiao Liuzi said politely, and did not refuse the silver reward. This was a great joy for Changle Palace, and this reward could never be refused. Xiao Liuzi hurriedly collected the silver, bowed to Gu Xizhao, "Madam, I have a blessing."
Gu Xizhao waved his hand. Although his face was still unpredictable, he did not make things difficult for him, "I won't waste my father-in-law's time."
"Madam, please be polite." After saying that, Xiao Liuzi was not very polite, so he took the eunuch who was accompanying him out of Changle Palace and went to Concubine Yu's Yihua Palace.
Concubine Yu, who was already so angry that she hated the enemy after hearing this edict of more than 2,000 words, was so angry that she could imagine.
Before Xiao Liuzi could leave the gate, he was so angry that he threw the things in the hall to a loud noise.
In this slightly deserted harem, the sound of porcelain shattering seemed very crisp. When it came to the outside room, there was still a sound. The eunuch who followed Xiao Liuzi looked back and approached Xiao Liuzi who stopped, "Duke, can you..."
Xiao Liuzi raised his hand and signaled him not to talk too much. He looked back and turned around and continued to move forward. A sneer between his eyebrows was a little sarcastic, "This ancestor said that everyone has his own destiny and has to believe it. Unfortunately, some people just can't think about it and insist on going against fate. This person..."
Xiao Liuzi said, raising his hand and nodding his head, "It's not very smart here. Anyone who can think about it now will only rush to curry favor with others. Maybe he can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and prosperity in this harem. What a pity... Listen to the precedent of the Zhu Palace, there, and I don't know how to learn from the lesson."
The little eunuchs behind him looked at each other and remained silent. They all came to the palace since childhood. The curves in the harem were more clearly seen than the concubines in the game. They naturally understood the meaning of Xiao Liuzi's obscure words.
"What my father-in-law said is."
Xiao Liuzi turned around and glanced at them, "Since you followed me, I might as well tell you a life-saving talisman. This harem, whether in the past or now, is probably the one from there. You must keep your eyes open and respect the people in the palace."
These little eunuchs looked in the direction of his finger. Although there was more than a palace in that direction, they all knew who Xiao Liuzi was talking about.
"Slaves should follow their father-in-law's instructions."
Xiao Liuzi withdrew his hand and said nothing more. He took his people to continue reading the edict of the Empress.
However, there was still a mess in Yihua's palace. Concubine Yu sat on the ground like a mad woman and cursed, "... The emperor was really fascinated by Gu's destiny. The emperor issued a decree to the queen, and it was written into a big fu... She held people in the sky like this, and was not afraid of breaking them..."
"My aunt, please stop talking." Madam An looked at her becoming more and more arrogant and quickly covered her mouth. "Now that matter is over, the Empress can't offend anyone at this critical moment."
Concubine Yu pushed her away and spat at the ground, "It's all a group of shameless things. If they dare to do it, I can't say it?"
When Madam An saw that she did not listen to her advice, she turned cold, "Miss. Don't be angry for a moment. Two days ago, the old man sent someone to send a letter to let us be at peace. The emperor has no bad impression of the third lady, and he also asked the third lady to stay in the palace to accompany you. There is still some hope."
"Ha." Concubine Yu sneered, looked up at Lin Wanqing, who was shivering in the corner, and her long cardamom-colored nails were directly facing her. "Just relying on this useless thing? Look at her useless look, grandpa and father were blind, so they had high hopes for her..."
"Empress." Madam An frowned instantly, "Miss Three treats you sincerely. Even if you are unhappy in your heart, you should not vent your anger with Miss Three."
Concubine Yu glanced at her, then stood up, walked to Lin Wanqing, looked at her from a high point, and pinched her chin with two fingers, "I'm very good at pretending to behave when I come to others."
"Sister, it hurts..."
Hearing Lin Wanqing's pitiful voice, Madam An immediately came over and pulled Concubine Yu away, then looked at Lin Wanqing's face repeatedly. She felt relieved without seeing any marks and protected the person behind her. "Empress, the third lady is still a big yellow girl now, and her face must not be distorted."
I dare to openly protect this little bitch! Isn’t it just that I am useless now?
Concubine Yu felt cold in her heart, and she couldn't help but sneer on her face. She wiped and pinched Lin Wanqing's chin with a handkerchief, "Don't worry, ma'am, I'm afraid that my hands will be dirty."
Lin Wanqing shrank into Madam An's arms, and the water rippled in her eyes, "Why do sister dislike me more and more? My mother once told me, "You were kind to me when you were a child? Did my sister annoy her?"
What Concubine Yu hated the most was her appearance. She clenched her fingers, endured them again and again, and then she didn't slap her. She took a deep breath and looked at Madam An, "Since she showed her face, what's the thing she did to help the vixen in Changle Palace? The Mid-Autumn Festival poetry competition will make people take the lead. On the night of the Queen Mother's birthday, she was not afraid and came forward to promote the fire... If it weren't for her helping the fire, the vixen could become the emperor's concubine openly? Now, the mother is more noble than her son and is directly appointed as the queen?"
Madam An was silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Wanqing with a complicated expression. She was about to speak, but Lin Wanqing suddenly knelt down, "Sister, it's useless, please forgive me. At the Mid-Autumn Festival, I saw the emperor coming and was too nervous, so I forgot all my memories... On the night of the Queen Mother's birthday, I didn't think much about it. It was my grandfather and father who told me to show more in front of the emperor and make the emperor look at him with admiration. I couldn't help but stand up and never thought about it..."
After Lin Wanqing's words, the little doubt that Madam An had just arisen. Looking at Lin Wanqing's pitiful look with tears in her face, she felt very caring. "Empress, the third lady was raised in the deep boudoir. She was still young and didn't have so much scheming. This was also a coincidence..."
Concubine Yu sneered, without saying a word.
Lin Wanqing's eyes were cold. After thinking for a moment, she looked pitiful and said carefully: "Since Mrs. Gu is the mother who has been granted the title of queen by her son, the ceremony of queen will be held until April next year. If... if... during this period, the dragon fetus... cannot be preserved..."
"What did you say just now?" Lin Wanqing's voice became lower and lower. When Concubine Yu heard a little, her mind flashed with inspiration. Subconsciously, she turned fiercely towards Lin Wanqing, "Is it because I didn't give you anything to eat? I was speechless?"
Lin Wanqing quickly shook her head, bit her lip, and looked like she was trying to break out, "Ms. Gu's dragon fetus... could not be preserved, would it have an impact on the matter of sealing the queen?"
Concubine Yu's eyes lit up, "Your brain finally got a glimpse of it."
Lin Wanqing shrank into a ball, "I...I'm just talking nonsense..."
Concubine Yu glanced at her tear-stained face and spoke to Madam An, "Take the third lady down to wash up, look at her face crying like a little cat, which is embarrassing."
Madam An naturally heard Lin Wanqing's words just now, nodded and said from the side: "My lady, don't be impulsive."
Concubine Yu was not very convinced by her. "I naturally knew what to worry about. What should I be anxious about? The news should be sent to the border. After Changping Hou received the news, it would be not too late to make a decision after he received the news."
Seeing that she spoke calmly, Madam An was relieved and took Lin Wanqing down.
Lin Wanqing kept lowering her head, but she was sneering in her heart. It would be fine if her stupid sister listened to it. No matter what Changping Hou's attitude was, Mrs. Gu's child was destined to be in the hands of her stupid sister.
