Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 278: Entering the Palace (4)
Chang Yuxiao was right. As soon as Yue Qing and others walked to the archway from the front yard to the back yard, they saw Mo Xue, Qi Jiao and Yue Ke, who originally lived in the outer yard, waiting at the door.
"Why are you here?"
Mo Xue said: "Li Palace sent someone to deliver the order to the palace, and we found out as soon as we left the palace. Thinking that the young lady would come out from Madam, we waited here with Yue Ke."
"Why, Chang Ge didn't come with you this time."
Mo Xue said: "I was afraid that the young lady was still angry, so she didn't dare to come over. She stayed at the gate of the hospital to think about her mistakes."
Yue Qing grinned and said: "Why are you still thinking about it? I'm not angry, but it's okay not to come. When the time comes, there will be a bunch of rules. This won't work, and that won't work. You'll be the one to set the rules."
Mo Xue said: "Mo Xue didn't set any rules for the young lady."
Yue Qing said: "Then do you accept this decree or not?"
Mo Xue said: "Miss, don't worry, the content of this imperial edict has been discussed in advance. Miss, just go to the front yard and listen to it."
"It was agreed upon?"
"That's right."
Yue Qing was stunned: "Oh, by the way, you deserved the credit yesterday. If I had told you earlier, Qing'er would have wasted her breath."
Madam and Aunt Wen were both shocked.
Madam was surprised that the villa would actually take the initiative to contact the royal family of Li Kingdom.
Aunt Wen felt that she couldn't understand what they said. They all said that the holy will is unpredictable, and accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. How could this imperial edict be something they could negotiate? But she knew that she shouldn't ask questions. If what she said was true, even knowing about it would be a grave sin.
Qing'er said at the side: "Yes, why didn't Mr. Xue tell you earlier? If Qing'er had known earlier, he wouldn't have stopped the lady. Miss, you must not be angry with me. Mr. Xue must be blamed for this." That’s it.”
Yue Qing said: "Don't worry, I don't blame you. Also, how can I be angry every day? Being angry will make you grow old."
Mo Xue said: "Although I knew that the imperial edict would come, I didn't know when it would come. It happened that when the edict came, the lady was not in the courtyard, so I was not informed in advance, which made the lady worry that it was my fault."
Yue Qing nodded: "Okay, no one is to blame. Mother, let's go."
The lady glanced at Mo Xue and others and nodded.
Everyone came outside the reception room in the front yard and saw many people standing in the yard.
Aunt Jia and everyone in the backyard stood at the foot of the steps. There were some palace servants and maids standing on both sides of the courtyard.
Standard figure, handsome appearance, unswerving gaze. There were some exquisite and gorgeous boxes, large or small, in their hands, and there were some larger boxes being carried on the ground.
When Aunt Jia and others saw them coming, they only glanced at them secretly for a few times, then stood still with lowered eyebrows. Even the youngest Yuxian stood beside the wet nurse honestly, but his eyes were not honest. When he saw Yue Qing coming, he glared at her a few times.
There were two young eunuchs standing outside the hall door. Seeing them coming, one of them sang: "Princess Yongjing has arrived, Princess Shun'an has arrived."
Yue Qing looked up at them. It sounds like this is being communicated to the people in the room. Sure enough, after a while, someone ran out of the house.
I heard the man step forward and salute and say: "I have seen Princess Yongjing and Princess Shun'an. Please come inside quickly. The manager and the prince are waiting in the hall."
Madam nodded and entered the main hall with Yue Qing, Mo Xue, Chang Yuxiao and others. Aunt Wen did not go, but stood with Aunt Jia and others.
After the young eunuch welcomed Yue Qing and others in, he stood up straight and said sharply to the rest of the people: "All the members of the Throne's family went to the hall to receive the imperial edict. The eunuch's arrival is like the emperor's presence in person. You must not be rude or look directly at him. After entering, You must kneel down to receive the order. Do you understand?"
Aunt Wen and others said: "Yes, I understand."
The little eunuch snorted: "Come in, everyone."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the main hall.
As soon as Yueqing entered the door, she saw a smiling, round-faced uncle standing in the hall.
King Bowei and King Yongjing stood aside.
Yueqing first bowed to King Yongjing: "I've met daddy."
King Yongjing nodded: "Well, this is Mr. An, the chamberlain in the palace. He came here specially to convey the emperor's will."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. An."
Manager An smiled and nodded, stretched out his orchid fingers and pinched his throat and said: "Okay, I have long heard that the princess has outstanding appearance. When I saw her today, she is indeed a natural beauty with both talent and appearance."
King Yongjing continued: "This is King Bowei, who came with Manager An to convey the decree. You have seen him."
Yue Qing said: "Hello, King Bowei."
King Bowei nodded without saying a word.
Yue Qing grinned, wasting her emotions. Raising his hand to greet Shi Rong behind him, Shi Rong smiled back at her.
At this time everyone entered the main hall. When Manager An saw everyone coming, he coughed and sang:
"The imperial edict has arrived... Princess Yongjing and Princess Shun'an are exempt from kneeling..."
King Yongjing hurriedly walked to the hall and knelt down with all the family members in the palace to receive the order. Immediately, there were people kneeling on the ground in the hall.
There were also people standing, except for Yue Qing and his wife, King Bowei, Mo Xue, Qi Jiao, and Yue Ke were all standing. Even Qing'er, Qiao'er, Xiaoye, Hong'er and others were standing.
Manager An glanced at them, then at Chang Yuxiao who was also standing, opened the imperial edict and read out: "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict says: Princess Shun'an is knowledgeable, sensible, respectful and gentle, and has won my heart. I give it to you today." A handle of jade and pearls... It is said that Princess Shun'an will enter the palace tomorrow. Forgive her that she has lived in the villa for a long time and does not know the etiquette in the palace. She does not have to kneel when entering the palace and does not have to use the etiquette in the palace. In the palace, except for me and the Queen Mother, There is no need to salute outside the Queen. Thank you for this!"
After announcing it, he closed the imperial edict and handed it to Yue Qing: "Princess, please accept the edict."
Qing'er stepped forward and stretched out his hand.
King Yongjing and others were frightened, and King Yongjing even sweated a lot on his head.
Manager An's eyelids twitched, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "This, according to regulations, this order must be accepted by the princess."
Qing'er put down her hand and said: "Our lady does not need to accept the order, just hand it over to Manager An, or you can take it back."
Manager An was startled, "I wouldn't dare do that."
Mo Xue said: "Mr. An will do as he says."
"This..." Manager An glanced at King Bowei, who nodded.
Manager An forced a smile and handed the imperial edict to Qing'er. Qing'er took it with one hand and retreated behind Yue Qing.
Manager An sighed: "Everyone, get up."
King Yongjing stood up with everyone and glanced at Yue Qing. His eyes were a little dissatisfied and he was also confused about the content of the imperial edict.
Manager An laughed dryly: "Princess, you have also heard this decree. As soon as you come back, the emperor, the queen mother and the ladies in the palaces all want to see you, and they are looking forward to it every day. I think that when the princess comes back, she will definitely There are many things that need to be prepared, so I have given you one day. The princess will prepare it today, and I will pick you up early tomorrow morning."
Yue Qing nodded: "Okay, but I usually get up late, so please don't come too early."
Mr. An said: "Oh, my princess, the emperor and the queen mother are waiting in the palace. It doesn't matter if you get up late any day, but you can't be late tomorrow."
Yue Qing frowned and was about to speak.
Qi Jiao said coldly: "Our young ladies have already said that we will go tomorrow. Just wait. It would be better for the manager to talk to Emperor Li after he returns to the palace."
Manager An pointed at him: "Hey, this. What kind of words are these? I don't dare to say these things."
Mo Xue smiled and said: "Manager An, since the young lady agreed to enter the palace, the manager's errand has been completed, so why bother worrying about these details. The young lady has a set time to rest every day and cannot act according to the rules of the palace. Didn't the manager just announce the decree? As I said, there is no need for palace etiquette. The steward will just follow the orders."
It was the first time that Mr. An had done such an errand, but the imperial edict did say so, so he had to respond: "In this case, I will report it to the Holy One after I return to the palace."
Mo Xue said: "Thank you, manager."
Manager An nodded. "In this case, the old slave will return to the palace first."
Yue Qing nodded, and King Yongjing sent them out in fear.
Outside the reception room, Yue Ke stopped Mr. An: "Mr. An, wait a minute."
Manager An looked at him, and Yue Ke handed him a box, "The manager will accept your kindness."
Manager An took it and opened it, "This, could it be the Ganoderma lucidum that has not been seen in thousands of years? This is a life-saving medicine. It is too precious. I dare not accept it." After saying this, he pushed it out.
Yue Ke stopped his hand: "It's nothing valuable. It's hard work for the general manager to deliver orders. The young lady will need to be looked after by the general manager all the way when she comes in tomorrow."
Manager An smiled and took it and put it in his arms, "It should be."
Yue Ke said: "General Manager, walk slowly."
Manager An left with the people.
Yue Ke stood with King Yongjing and glanced at Yue Qing and others in the hall. King Bowei was still talking with Mo Xue and others in the hall.
Yue Ke faced King Yongjing and said, "King Yongjing has some doubts about today's decree."
King Yongjing said: "Master Ke knows things like a god."
Yue Ke smiled and said: "Our young lady is not Mrs. Fu. She can live in the throne for a few days only because of Madam's face. The prince's current identity is also clear in his heart. How do you treat Mrs. Fu? I No matter, but if the same is true for the young lady, the prince should know the consequences."
King Yongjing said angrily: "Master Ke, what you said is a bit too much. I am Yuqing's father no matter what. What do you think I will do to my daughter?"
Yue Ke sneered: "The status of the young lady and Mrs. Fu in the villa is very different. If the prince treats the young lady with the same attitude as the madam, you will lose everything you have now in less than a month, and you may not even be able to save your life."
"You, this is Prince Yongjing's Mansion, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous?"
Yue Ke said: "What about the throne of Yongjing? Even in the Royal Palace of Li Kingdom, I think when encountering conflicts, Emperor Li will choose to keep the young lady and give up your chess piece. Remember, the young lady will not be tolerated when doing things. If others dare to express any dissatisfaction, you don’t have to be King Yongjing."
After speaking, he turned around and walked into the hall, leaving King Yongjing trembling in place.
Yue Qing was talking to Shi Rong when she saw him coming in and asked, "Hey, Yue Ke, what are you doing here?"
Yue Ke smiled and said: "Go and see Mr. An off."
Yue Qing rolled her eyes at him and said, "My father is the master, what do you want to give me?"
"The manager has worked hard all the way, and the villa must show some appreciation."
"Oh, that's it, I went to give you a gift."
Yue Ke and Shi Rong looked at each other and laughed.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aunt Wen stepped forward and said to Madam: "Sister, it is not convenient for my family to see my husband for a long time, so I will take them back to the backyard first."
The lady nodded and said, "Okay."
Aunt Wen bowed to King Bowei and left with her family members.
At this time, King Yongjing walked in, and Yue Qing saw that his face was not very good. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"Dad, has Mr. An left? But what happened?"
