The courtyard where Mo Zhenzhen lives is the courtyard for ordinary heirs in the Prime Minister's Mansion. There are several courtyards in a row with the same specifications, and only this one is occupied.
Seeing that the courtyard was almost uninhabitable, Mo Xiang directly ordered the steward who was following him to clean up Tianxiang Garden and let Mo Zhenzhen move there.
Tianxiang Garden is different from this kind of courtyard with the same regulations. There is a lake, a pavilion, and a small garden.
Tianxiang Garden is the place where Mo Xiang's mother lived before her death. It has been empty for decades. The annual renovation costs a lot of money. You can imagine the scenery there and how comfortable it is to live there.
So when Mo Zhenzhen was in a coma, she changed her 'home' and was moved to Tianxiang Garden.
There was ready-made furniture in Tianxiang Garden. When moving Mo Zhenzhen, they were careful not to expose Mo Zhenzhen and treated Mo Zhenzhen like a porcelain doll.
After Mo Xiang saw the unconscious Mo Zhenzhen and listened to the old doctor's explanation of his condition, he began to arrange the incense case to prepare for the order.
There are times when you can't act stupid. For example, right now, if you don't act more proactively, it will look pretentious.
Sure enough, in just half a cup of tea, the imperial edict came out of the palace.
This imperial edict is for Mo Zhenzhen, and it is an imperial edict to confer Mo Zhenzhen as the First Grade Lady.
Previously, Mo was a second-rank imperial concubine. This time, Zuo Dingmin was promoted to general (from first-rank) and did not apply for a royal imperial edict for Mo Zhenzhen.
But now that the imperial decree has been issued, Mo Zhenzhen has become a first-grade imperial concubine. In terms of rank, Mo Zhenzhen is half a level higher than Zuo Dingmin.
Because Mo Zhenzhen was still in a coma and the emperor had already given orders in the palace, Mo Xiang helped Mo Zhenzhen receive this imperial edict.
After receiving the imperial edict, you still need to enter the palace to express gratitude, but Mo Zhenzhen was obviously unable to enter the palace. Mo Xiang, who had not even changed his court uniform, directly followed the person who delivered the edict to the palace to express gratitude.
Everyone knew the reason for this trip to the palace.
Even though Mo Xiang is so old, the current emperor really wants to keep Mo Xiang for a little longer, and it is best to let him work in this position until death.
Before, Mo Xiang shied away and wanted to retire, but the emperor was unwilling to do so. Now that this was the case, the emperor had a new way of persuading him.
The emperor presented the facts to Prime Minister Mo and told him in a subtle way the dangers of being obsessed with by monsters, as well as the protection that the position of prime minister could bring to his family.
Mo Xiang is not afraid of those monsters, but his daughter and his wife are definitely afraid.
The emperor asked Mo Xiang to think again.
Mo Xiang sat on the chair without saying a word. After a while, his straight back seemed to be bent, and finally he thanked the emperor for his "consideration".
The emperor felt very pleased that Mo Xiang had compromised, so he followed Mo Xiang back to the palace with a reward from the emperor and empress.
All the things were given to Mo Zhenzhen, which was a way of showing the status of Mo Xiang's only daughter.
In the past, Mo Xiang didn't show any concern for his only daughter. He booked her out before she was of the right age, without giving anyone else a chance.
Looking back now, Mo Xiang doesn't look like someone who doesn't care for his daughter. His previous behavior may have been because he didn't want his only daughter to get involved in the court's disputes, so he chose such an 'ordinary' son-in-law.
Now that he has gone through so many things and Mo Xiang's 'hiddenness' has been exposed, the dignity he deserves must still be given to Mr. Mo.
This is also giving Mo Xiang face.
Zuo Dingmin broke into a cold sweat after hearing that Mo Zhenzhen had been promoted to imperial rank and received rewards from the palace.
What should we do now? There is no other way but to ask for forgiveness.
Previously, Zuo Dingmin returned to the General's Mansion early. Firstly, he came back to see what was going on in the General's Mansion, and secondly, he wanted to get some treasures to go and apologize.
Now Zuo Dingmin was sitting in the lobby, listening to the report of the people below, and said something after touching his face.
"Go and send all those women in the backyard to Zhuangzi."
The steward who reported to Zuo Dingmin didn't understand. He looked at Zuo Dingmin blankly, not knowing what Zuo Dingmin meant.
Fortunately, Zuo Dingmin didn't have the habit of expressing his anger, and his emotions were stable as he had experienced on the battlefield, so he repeated it again.
"Send those women in the backyard to Zhuangzi, don't let Madam see them."
Look, even men in this era know that the existence of concubines will make the wife of the wife feel uncomfortable, but they just don't change it, because they don't need to worry about the mood of the wife of the wife, whether it will hurt her mood, she It doesn't matter what these men think, they just need to be happy, and the ladies will adjust it themselves.
It doesn't delay them, and there is no need for them to worry about anything.
But now Zuo Dingmin didn't dare to do it so blatantly, because the Mo family's status was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Mo Zhenzhen did not get the favor from him, but was led by her father.
And his husband even had the opposite effect.
Zuo Dingmin could not continue to unscrupulously make Mrs. Mo unhappy. He needed to coax her. Only by making Mrs. Mo agree with him could he continue to be attentive in front of his father-in-law.
Zuo Dingmin knew that if he got together at this time, he would only annoy Mo Xiang.
Zuo Dingmin, who had made up his mind, couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he saw that the steward was still moving.
"Don't you understand? Go quickly."
The steward responded hesitantly, and then walked away in three steps, as if he didn't understand why Zuo Dingmin would make such a decision.
Zuo Dingmin sent the steward away and then started picking out the things to give to Mo Zhenzhen.
The things originally stored in the General's Mansion are obviously not good. After all, husband and wife are one body. As the mistress of the General's Mansion, the things stored in the General's Mansion are not hers. Using such things in the storehouse to please Mr. Mo is like... Giving her something from Mo's family was the same, with an annoying sense of immediacy.
Fortunately, Zuo Dingmin still had a batch of things that he brought back this time and had not yet had time to put into storage.
When Zuo Dingmin came back, Mo Zhenzhen left with his people, so Mo Zhenzhen really didn't know about this batch of things, but she gave Zuo Dingmin a chance.
The bulk of the stuff was still silver, and Zuo Dingmin didn't want to hand it all over to Mo from the beginning.
But that's obviously not possible now.
Even a general would be short of breath without money, but without giving up these things, his status would be in jeopardy.
Therefore, Zuo Dingmin didn't hesitate much, packed all the things in the boxes, changed out of the court clothes himself, carefully selected clothes and accessories, and tidied himself up well. After looking brave and handsome, he took the gifts and kicked off Enter the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Zuo Dingmin came, he attracted a lot of attention. Everyone was speculating on how Mo Xiang would treat his son-in-law. Then, not surprisingly, Zuo Dingmin was rejected.
