Cining Palace.
Mrs. An Yibo entered the main hall and took off her snow coat.
He didn't go inside immediately, but first warmed himself up by the brazier to get rid of the coldness on his body.
After her body felt warm, she entered the inner hall with a smile and respectfully saluted the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was looking out through the cracked window and sighed: "It snowed heavily last night and accumulated a lot. It looks good."
Mrs. An Yibo said: "Auspicious snow heralds a good year."
The Empress Dowager touched her hands and smiled.
From the emperor sitting in the imperial city to the common people watching the sky while eating, who wouldn't like the "good harvest"?
When Mrs. An Yibo sat down, the Empress Dowager said: "You are really early. It is rare for the Ai family to see someone come to say hello so early in the year."
"It can't be too late, it can't be too late," Mrs. An Yibo said with a smile, "The horoscopes of the princess and the auxiliary Duke came together. I thought about our uncle's impatience. He must have gone to the imperial study as soon as the court came. Wait for the emperor to see it. , decree, if the news reaches you, what else does it have to do with me!"
The Queen Mother laughed.
The palace maids and nuns around me were very cooperative and laughing happily.
Grandma Wang said happily: "Listen to Madam Uncle, the result will definitely be good."
"My slave said that it was a match made in heaven. Two days ago, the Duke came to pay his respects to his wife and stood in the corridor talking with the princess. When I looked at her from a distance, my eyes felt very comfortable."
"Supposedly, we people in the palace have never seen any kind of beauties. She has her eyes wide open! She just loves to watch the princess and the prince talking. After two glances, she can't close her mouth from ear to ear all day long."
The Empress Dowager became more and more cheerful: "I know you are all thinking about how much reward you will get! Keep saying nice things!"
"Thank you for the reward. I just came here because of the happy reward." Mrs. An Yibo's Linglong answered the words, took out the booklet from her sleeve and handed it to the Empress Dowager, "Take a look at this first batch. Yes, is it enough for you to give away more reward money?"
The Empress Dowager asked all of them to cooperate and smile happily.
When I opened the booklet and looked at it, the smile in my eyes turned into crystal bit by bit, and even my vision was a little blurry.
She took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions.
The fingertips rubbed back and forth over the neat words, and when he spoke again, his voice was somewhat hoarse.
"The Ai family is happy, really happy," the Empress Dowager said, "Such a little one is about to get engaged..."
Grandma Wang turned her back and wiped her eyes silently.
She was also filled with joy and emotion.
She still remembered that the first time she met the princess was at her baptism.
At that time, the empress was still the queen of the middle palace. No matter how much she loved her children, she couldn't easily leave the palace to watch the ceremony, so she ordered Grandma Wang.
When she arrived at Uncle Chengyi's house, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the child looked like a rich man and was blessed with good fortune. When she came back, she reported it to the empress, who was also very happy.
Who knew that all the blessings around her were good, but the fate between mother and daughter was shallow, which made people pity her even more.
Fortunately, he has grown up safely.
It will get better and better.
Mrs. An Yibo saw the Empress Dowager's expression in her eyes and said with relief: "The children will all grow up. I am old and you are old too."
The Empress Dowager looked at the face of the person in front of her who didn't look old, and she couldn't laugh or cry, and spat: "Who doesn't know that you take good care of yourself?"
Stretching out her hand and touching her face, Mrs. An Yibo said deliberately: "If you want to tell me about maintenance prescriptions, I won't be able to shut up the conversation. But you would rather hear the princess's happy news, so I won't talk about those troublesome things." You’re annoying.”
Such an interruption blew away the emotions swirling in the Queen Mother's heart.
The atmosphere in the hall became joyful again.
Not long after, the palace maid's report came from outside, saying that Eunuch Cao was here.
Eunuch Cao entered and saluted happily.
The Empress Dowager hurriedly asked: "What did the Holy Spirit say?"
"The Holy Spirit saw the results of the horoscopes. Long Yan was so happy that he personally wrote the imperial edict granting marriage." Eunuch Cao said, and presented a bright yellow scroll, "Please take a look."
Mrs. An Yibo rolled her eyes and said to the Empress Dowager: "Am I right? If I come later, I won't be able to get the first reward."
The Empress Dowager smiled broadly and unfolded the imperial edict.
Every stroke on it is written by the Holy One himself.
The Empress Dowager is very familiar with the Holy Master's handwriting and will never mistake it.
It's just that this word is more elegant than usual, which is enough to show the happy and excited mood of the person who splashed the ink.
Just like her who sees the imperial edict.
"Tell Your Majesty," the Empress Dowager explained, her eyes narrowed, "The Ai family has seen it and is very satisfied. We can use an extra bowl of rice at noon today."
"I have to go back to the imperial study later to report. I have received the edict and will go to the Duke Fu's Mansion to read out the edict," Eunuch Cao said with a smile. After saying this, he remembered that Madam Bo had just mentioned the silver reward, and he added He made a witty remark, "Young ones are also going to earn reward money."
"Oh, oh, oh, look!" the Empress Dowager pointed at Eunuch Cao, laughing and said, "Of all the famous people around the Holy Sage, among the many servants in the palace, which one is as rich as yours? Are you still thinking about the silver reward?"
"There's no such thing as too much money," Eunuch Cao said with a smile, "and there's certainly no such thing as too many happy events."
"You go to Duke Fuguo's Mansion, but where is Uncle Chengyi's Mansion? Who did His Majesty order?" the Queen Mother asked again.
Eunuch Cao didn't answer immediately. He only squinted his eyes and gave Eunuch Yu a wink.
Eunuch Yu understood this and immediately stood up and bowed to the Empress Dowager: "Please give me the opportunity to go and tell the princess the good news, and I can also save a reward for the New Year!"
The Queen Mother smiled heartily.
She didn't know that this was actually arranged by the Holy One so that she could participate and be happy. It was precisely because of this knowledge that besides the fun of singing and singing, she felt the Holy One's filial piety, and her heart became even more joyful.
"Go, everyone go quickly," the Empress Dowager said, "Now that the matter is done, can the reward be any less?"
Eunuch Yu happily accepted the order and left together with Eunuch Cao.
They each bowed and were ready to set off.
The Qianbu Corridor was not far from the Nangong Gate. The ceremonial guard announcing the decree left the palace, and the news spread quickly.
In Honglu Temple, Liu Jing was writing a document. When he heard the movement outside, he couldn't help but pricked up his ears.
"Eunuch Cao went there in person. Behind the sedan were several boxes, all of which were rewards."
"I heard that someone has already rushed to the Hanlin Academy to urge Uncle Chengyi to return home to prepare for the decree."
"If it's Miss Lin, she doesn't have this dignity, right? Did we guess wrong and she is really the princess?"
"Why did An Yibo's grandson marry the princess that time? It's not that he is bad..."
"I understand what you mean."
"It must be the princess. I can't be wrong. There is also a decree and a reward. I am going to the west palace gate. My father-in-law is less than my father-in-law to announce the decree."
"An Yibo has accumulated great virtues..."
Not long after, under the gaze of people with long necks watching the excitement on the left and right sides of the Qianbu Corridor, Eunuch Cao's team turned westward.
Uncle An Yi's Mansion is in the east of the city, right?
The second update is still on the way, as soon as possible...
