Chapter 244: Empress is free
On this day, a letter came from the palace saying that the queen wanted to see Wen Yu and Zhu.
Mrs. Tan was surprised, "Why do you want to see them? Go and tell the Marquis!"
He also ordered: "Go to Wang Shuren's place in the back street and see if she is free. Come and give guidance to the third daughter-in-law... and the fifth daughter-in-law!"
She was really worried. It was fine for Zhu to stay at home like that, but not to the palace.
Especially the Queen, who is moody. When the time comes, you will be really shameless, and you will have to kneel down and pick it up with a smile on your face.
Wen Yu didn't understand why the empress wanted to see her, so Mrs. Qi comforted her: "Maybe the empress just wanted to see something new on a whim. You act and speak in a controlled manner. If you ask the female officer to teach you, it will be fine. There is no need to be special. Worry!"
"Well, as you said, the queen just feels fresh. Otherwise, shouldn't she meet the third aunt? Do you think I should give the queen a gift?"
“It’s okay to give something interesting as a gift, as long as it’s clean and doesn’t violate any taboos. It doesn’t have to be expensive!”
“Then I’ll go to Master Qing’s place and look for some embroidery.”
“Yes, the embroidery is very good.”
Wen Yu told Mr. Tan that he wanted to give a gift.
Mrs. Tan nodded: "You should think carefully and prepare! Just don't break any taboos. I'll invite the female officials from the palace to teach you the rules tomorrow."
After Wen Yu left, Madam Tan asked someone to tell Madam Zhu to prepare one and let the female official take a look at it tomorrow.
The next day, the female official came and gave Wen Yu and Zhu some advice. The female official commented: It was barely okay.
Wen Yu and Zhu, dressed up, entered the palace in the same car.
On the road, no one paid attention to anyone.
Wen Yu didn't care if he didn't say anything, but Zhu was angry and had a cold face the whole time.
Arrived at the palace gate, I went through a series of complicated procedures before entering. I walked for a long time before arriving at the Queen's Palace.
The palace maid arranged them in a side hall, said "wait for the announcement" and left.
In the side hall, there were only Wen Yu and Zhu.
At first I thought it would be pretty fast.
As a result, the Queen and the Queen had something happen to them, and after being busy for a while, she actually forgot about them and left them alone for a long time.
Two people cannot go out or walk back and forth. We have refreshments when we arrive, but we are afraid of eating and drinking too much and have to go to the convenience store...
So, just sitting there stupidly.
It feels like time is so hard to endure...
I don’t know how long it took for the queen to take a breath. After being reminded by the female officer, she remembered that there were still people waiting. She just said that she wanted to pass...
The **** came to report: The emperor has returned to the palace and is coming to the empress.
"The emperor is coming back... Go and tell the two people from the Qi family to go back first. Talk to them another day."
So, after waiting for a long time, the two people finally waited for the female official to come, but they heard: "The Queen has other important things to do today and can't spare time to summon you two. Let you go back first."
The two people of the Qi family were deeply confused.
Wen Yu smiled and said: "I am following your Majesty's instructions. My wife and my third sister-in-law have brought two items for your Majesty's enjoyment. I wonder if I would like to hand them over to my aunt. Is this in line with the rules?"
What Zhu wanted to give as a gift was an extremely hard-to-find dzi bead. Even without seeing the empress, I wanted to take it back and talk about it next time.
Now that I have given it away, will you still remember who gave it to me? So I blame Wen Yu for being meddlesome!
“Leave it to me!”
The female officer said it, and Mrs. Zhu could only take it out and said, "Please pass it on to my aunt!"
But he was unwilling to give in, fearing that he would misunderstand me later, so he explained: "The dzi bead offered by my wife is a treasure given by a living Buddha. I hope the empress will have good luck."
“I will report this to the empress!”
Coming out of the palace, Wen Yu felt more relaxed. He had heard about this empress's temperament... If there is no good thing in sight, just don't see her. But Mrs. Zhu secretly sighed that she was unlucky. Even though she had come, she had been waiting for a long time, but she still hadn't seen her yet.
The Queen met the Emperor and sat down to drink tea and talk.
The emperor's triangular eyes were heavy and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The queen didn't ask any questions and said with a smile: "Originally, I called the two young daughters-in-law of Zhenyuan Hou's family to talk. But as soon as I got busy with the things at hand, I forgot about them. I made them sit there for a long time. Then I said that I wanted to Seeing that Your Majesty is coming soon, I sent them back..."
After hearing this, the emperor smiled and said: "From the Qi family? Qi Wu's daughter-in-law must be here too!"
“There is her!”
"Look back and see for me whether he is a good match for Qi Wu."
The queen responded with a smile.
“Qi Zheng… He hasn’t established a heir apparent for many years. He seems to have intended to pass the title on to the third son of his family. This time when he returned to Beijing, Qi Youduan didn’t come back with him!”
“Isn’t it against the rules to pass it on to the third child?! Long live, will you agree?”
"Father and son have been there for so many years, and they are quite safe. As for the title, I don't care who it is given to. I just heard... Qi Youduan married the Zhu family..." The emperor was the most suspicious and dissatisfied with this matter.
The queen didn't know what was going on with the Zhu family, so she said: "I have met the old lady of the Qi family. She is of an ordinary character. She is also popular! It is said that she treats the eldest son of Marquis Qi's original wife better than his own son. ! It’s quite rare.”
The emperor sneered and thought to himself: It's just good words, but do you know that the title should be reserved for your own son?
The female official came in with a plate and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, this is something that Zhu and Wen of the Qi family paid filial piety to your Majesty. They say it is for your Majesty's enjoyment!"
“Open this palace and take a look!”
The first thing to open was given by Zhu. The queen picked it up and took a look: "This is..." She had never seen it before.
The emperor smiled: "Hey, Dzi beads! This is a good thing."
“I, my concubine, shall be filial to the Emperor!”
“You keep it! Where’s the other one!?”
The female official opened it and found a piece of embroidery. The emperor took a quick look at it but didn't worry about it.
But the queen couldn't put it down: "I have actually seen this embroidery method before. It seems to be a piece of embroidery that my great-grandmother had in her hand...
Wen Yu and Mr. Zhu returned home and went to see Mrs. Tan first. Zhu was a little depressed, but she still told what happened.
Mrs. Tan was also a little speechless and nodded: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is busy with everything. This is normal. You two have been tired for a day, so go back and rest!"
When Wen Yu went to talk to Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi smiled bitterly: "Our empress..."
…
When Tian Qiwu was resting, Wen Yu asked him to accompany him to the shop.
Qi Wu agreed, and Wen Yu asked Laba to ask Mrs. Qi: "I want to go to the shop with my husband, mother, do you want to go with us?"
Mrs. Qi felt that she was an eyesore when the young couple went out, so she reasoned that something else had happened.
Early in the morning, Qi Wu asked Wen Yu to get up and have breakfast.
Wen Yu said he wanted to go to the shop to eat, but he turned over and went to sleep...
Looking at her appearance, Qi Wu had no choice but to wear short clothes and practice boxing and kicking in the yard first. After a while of tossing and turning, Qing He lost interest in working.
It took a lot of effort to speak warmly, and Qi Wu came in immediately: "Breakfast is already cold, you can really sleep!"
“I was so tired from waiting for the queen yesterday! I could only sit, couldn’t walk, had no books to read, and couldn’t work! My waist was sore…”
"Then you didn't let me pinch you last night..." Qi Wu was not happy when he thought that he didn't succeed last night.
Wen Yu glared at him, "You're not pinching him in a serious way!"
Looking at the lackluster breakfast, he said, “Our small kitchen really needs to be renovated, otherwise it will be cold and we won’t be able to eat this meal!”
"What do you want to do, tell Zhang Cai and his wife." After saying that, his heart jumped a few times. Is the matter of the account over? !
