No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 189 Princess Gold Book (Part [-])
Xie Yan stepped into the empress dowager's bedroom, and Eunuch Huang stood at the door of the inner hall and said respectfully: "My lord, you are back."

Xie Yan nodded slightly, and stepped into the hall, "How is Auntie?"

Eunuch Huang said: "I woke up again just now, the princess and the little princess are with me inside. The empress dowager is very happy to hear that you have gone to the Luo family. My lord, this..."

Xie Yan nodded to confirm Eunuch Huang's guess, and Eunuch Huang's old face was overjoyed, "That's good, that's good."

In fact, Eunuch Huang didn't take any happiness seriously. They are people who have experienced ups and downs for most of their lives. Who really believes in this?

It's just to let the empress dowager go with peace of mind.

In the bedroom, seeing Xie Yan walk in, Qin Ning, who was lying on the bedside talking with the Empress Dowager, quickly stood up, "Uncle."

Princess Changling also turned to look at him, "Zhiwu."

Xie Yan went to the bed and sat down, leaning over to look at the Empress Dowager, "Auntie, how do you feel?"

The Empress Dowager was lying on the bed, nodding slightly, her voice was so weak that Qin Ning, who was standing behind Xie Yan, could not hear clearly.

Although Xie Yan could hear clearly with his profound internal strength, he still leaned forward and listened carefully to what the Empress Dowager said.

"Luo, General Luo..."

Xie Yan nodded and said, "General Luo agrees."

Qin Ning's eyes widened: Yao Yao is really going to marry his uncle?
A bit of joy flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes, she held Xie Yan's hand and said, "That's good, that's good. Huang..."

"Empress Dowager, the old slave is here."

The Empress Dowager raised her hand and said, "Give...what I prepared earlier... to Zhifei, please Taihua...Emperor Sister Taihua, come forward to handle it."

Eunuch Huang answered yes, turned around and went to the back.

After a while, Eunuch Huang came back holding a long box.

Putting the box into the hands of the servant following behind, Eunuch Huang personally opened the box and took out a roll of bright yellow silk from inside, saying: "My lord, this is the decree prepared by the Empress Dowager in advance."

Then he turned around and took out another roll of silk and said, "This is the edict of the Empress Dowager to canonize the second girl Luo as Princess Chu, and the gold book and gold seal have been sealed. This will be delivered to the Luo family together with the wedding edict .”

With this imperial edict and golden book, Luo Junyao is a justifiable Princess Chu no matter whether the wedding is held or not.

Qin Ning was already stunned by the shock, even the Princess Changling next to her did not expect the Empress Dowager to be so thoughtful.

Xie Yan stood up and took the edict with his own hands, "Thank you, Mr. Huang."

Eunuch Huang said sadly: "The Empress Dowager has been thinking about this since the day the prince invited Princess Taihua back, fearing that there might be some accident... That's why I prepared these things in advance."

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Huang took out another booklet and said, "The marriage is urgent, and the Luo family may not have time to make all the preparations. This is the dowry prepared by the empress dowager for the concubine. For the rest, the prince can decide on his own."

Eunuch Huang finished what the Empress Dowager wanted to say, and stepped aside respectfully.

Xie Yan handed those things to Qin Ning and sat back on the bedside again. Qin Ning held those things in both hands, but felt that they were so important and trembling.

Xie Yan held the Empress Dowager's hand and said in a low voice, "Auntie, you can rest assured."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "Don't worry, you are also... well, Auntie, you can still hold on. I will definitely... see you get married."

Princess Changling turned her head and suppressed the soreness in her eyes, and smiled again when she turned her head, "Mother, you can not only see Zhifei getting married, but also hug Zhifei's child with your own hands."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

After talking for a while, the Empress Dowager fell asleep again.

Divine doctor Xue's medicine has not been prepared yet, so the empress dowager sleeps for a while, wakes up for a while, and then sleeps again, and so on.

After leaving the bedroom, the guards outside came to report that the queen mother brought her majesty down to pay her respects to the empress dowager.

Now the empress dowager's bedroom is still blocked by Xie Yan, even if the empress dowager brings Xie Cheng, if they want to come in, they must get Xie Yan's consent.

Xie Yan said lightly: "The Queen Mother, please take Ah Cheng back first, and said that the Queen Mother just fell asleep."

The guards went away, Princess Changling frowned and said, "Zhifei, is it not good for you to keep her out of the palace? She is the queen mother after all."

Xie Yan said: "The poisonous scorpion has not been caught yet, the less people entering and leaving the aunt's palace right now, the better. Sister Changzhao and other imperial wives, don't let them enter the palace to serve the sick."

Princess Changling was terrified when she thought of the truth about the Empress Dowager's sudden illness, she nodded immediately and said, "That's fine, I'll stay in the palace these days, and it's enough for me to take care of the Empress Dowager."

Xie Yan said: "Don't worry, there won't be any danger in the palace right now, it's just that it's not advisable to let outsiders know too much about Auntie's situation for the time being. Wait for Divine Doctor Xue to prepare the medicine and see Auntie's situation."

Princess Changling nodded, she didn't know what else to do besides doing her best and obeying the destiny.

"I'm in the palace now, and I can't help with other things. We can rest assured that the queen mother asked you to find Aunt Taihua to handle the marriage. If there is not enough manpower, you can go directly to my mansion to transfer people." Princess Changling urged road.

Xie Yan nodded, "I know, don't worry, Miss Huang."

The two were talking, when Miracle Doctor Xue walked in quickly from the outside carrying a bowl of medicine.

As soon as he approached the gate of the hall, the three people in the hall smelled a strange smell of medicine.

It doesn't smell bad, but there is a hint of fragrance in the slightly bitter medicinal fragrance.

As soon as he came in, all three eyes fell on the medicine bowl in his hand.

"Master Xue, is this a newly formulated medicine?" Princess Changling asked expectantly.

Divine doctor Xue nodded, and walked in without stopping, "It's a new medicine, it's hard to say how effective it will be."

Princess Changling didn't dare to say anything, so she quickly turned around and followed inside.

Qin Ning looked at her mother's back, then bowed slightly to Xie Yan and followed in.

In fact, she doesn't like to take care of patients, not because Qin Ning is not filial, but because she has spent more than half of her ten-year life surrounded by various medicines.

As long as she smells the medicine, she can still think of the days when she was lying in bed when she was a child, unable to move, not knowing that she would die someday.

But she couldn't tell anyone about this, her grandmother was so seriously ill, her mother was sad and her uncle was worried, so she had to accompany her mother to take care of her grandmother.

Xie Yan did not follow in, he went to the main hall and sat down, "Come here."

"My lord." Die Ying and Xi Ying came in from the door and bowed to salute.

Xie Yan asked: "Is there any change in the palace today?"

Xi Ying said: "My lord, everything in the palace is peaceful and orderly, only the Queen Mother sent people out of the palace to Cheng Enhou's mansion this morning. In addition..."

Xiying hesitated for a moment, Xie Yan said in a deep voice, "Say!"

Xi Ying said: "The Empress Dowager...seems to be quite strict with His Majesty."

Douying next to him glanced sideways at Xiying, wondering why he was still saying such nonsense at this time.

His Majesty is young and the only son of the Empress Dowager, so it is inevitable to be strict with him.

It's better than the Queen Mother spoiling His Majesty too much, right?

Xi Ying quickly explained: "The person sent to investigate the situation around His Majesty said that His Majesty is not as active in his own palace as he is in front of the prince, and on the contrary, he rarely speaks. There are strict rules in every move. You can't even come out. If your Majesty is a little inferior, the maids around you will use the Queen Mother to talk about the rules. Your Majesty looks..." a bit miserable.

Even the guards sent to monitor felt that the little emperor was miserable, so it was obvious that it was really miserable.

A child who is only six or seven years old has no freedom at all.The servants and maids around him were heartless, and the little emperor's words and deeds seemed to be their marionettes.

"This morning, the Empress Dowager ordered His Majesty to copy the scriptures for the Empress Dowager all morning. When eating at noon, her arm may hurt, and she accidentally dropped the soup bowl. The Empress Dowager neither comforted Her Majesty, nor asked for the soup to be served again, but even reprimanded her. Your Majesty has a meal, and the food is removed directly."

Xie Yan's face darkened, "That is to say, Ah Cheng hasn't had lunch yet?"

Xiying nodded yes.

"Children who are less than seven years old, what kind of scriptures are they copying!"

Xiying also complained about this, teaching His Majesty to be filial is naturally good, but what's the point of asking a child who is only six or seven years old to copy things that he can't even understand himself all morning?

Not to mention His Majesty, adults like them can't stand copying books all morning without doing anything.

"The empress dowager brought her majesty down just now, and she brought the scriptures copied by her majesty. It is said that it will be enshrined in the Buddhist hall of the empress dowager's bedroom, so that the Buddha can protect the empress dowager." Xi Ying said.

Xie Yan lowered his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and said: "Dieying, just say that the Empress Dowager is awake, and please ask the Empress Dowager to take care of the Empress Dowager."

Overlapping Shadow nodded yes.

"My lord, is Your Majesty coming too?" If the Queen Mother came, she would definitely bring Her Majesty with her.

Xie Yan said: "Teacher Su, please come to the palace. In addition... the king's order is to order the clan and officials above the third rank in the court to send their sons under the age of ten to the palace to accompany them."

"Yes, my lord." Duoying clapped his hands and said yes.He thought to himself, did the queen mother really anger the prince?
