Yan Cigui.

Chapter 182
Cining Palace.

Madam An Yi entered the main hall and took off her snow gown.

He didn't go inside right away, he warmed up next to the brazier first, and got rid of the cold air on his body.

When her body was warmed up, she entered the inner hall with a smile, and saluted the empress dowager respectfully.

The Empress Dowager was looking out through the slitted window, and sighed: "It snowed heavily last night, and it accumulated a lot, which is beautiful."

Mrs. An Yi said: "Auspicious snow heralds a good year."

The Empress Dowager clapped her hands and smiled.

From the emperor sitting in the imperial city to the common people watching the sky and eating, who doesn't like "good harvest"?

When Mrs. An Yi sat down, the Empress Dowager said: "You came really early, Ai's family is all year round, it's rare to see someone come to say hello so early."

"It can't be late, it can't be late," Mrs. An Yi smiled, "The horoscopes of Princess and Fu Guogong have been combined. I think that our uncle is so impatient, he must go to the imperial study as soon as the court is over. When the Holy Majesty reads it, makes an order, and the news reaches you, then what else do I have to do!"

The empress dowager laughed.

The maids and nuns around were very cooperative and laughed.

Wang Momo said happily: "Listen to Mrs. Uncle's words, the result must be very good."

"The servant girl said, it was a match made in heaven. The first two times the Duke came to pay his respects to the empress, and he stood in the porch talking with the princess. The servant girl looked at it from a distance, and his eyes felt very comfortable."

"Accordingly, we people in the palace have never seen any kind of beauties before? Their eyes are prickly! I just like to watch the princess talk to the Duke of the country. I can't keep my mouth shut all day long."

The empress dowager became more and more interested: "I know you are all thinking about how much reward you will get! Keep talking good things!"

"Thank you for the reward. Tete came here just for the joyful reward." Mrs. An Yi said exquisitely, took out the booklet from her sleeve, and handed it to the Empress Dowager, "Look at the first batch, is it enough for you to distribute more rewards?"

The empress dowager told everyone to cooperate with each other and smiled happily.

When I opened the booklet, the smiles in my eyes turned into crystals little by little, and even my vision was a little blurred.

She took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions.

The fingertips rubbed back and forth on the neat characters, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse.

"The Ai family is happy, really happy," said the Empress Dowager, "Such a little one is going to be engaged..."

Wang Momo turned her back and wiped her eyes silently.

She is also mixed with emotion in joy.

She still remembered that the first time she saw the Princess, it was at the third baptism.

At that time, the empress was still the empress of the central palace, no matter how much she loved her children, she couldn't easily go out of the palace to watch the ceremony, so she ordered Wang Momo.

When she arrived at Uncle Chengyi's mansion, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the child looked rich and blessed, and when she came back, she reported it to the empress, and the empress was also very happy.

How do you know that the other side's blessings are all good, but the mother-daughter relationship is shallow, which makes people feel more pity for her.

Fortunately, Ping An has grown up.

will get better.

Mrs. An Yi saw the empress dowager's expression in her eyes, and said with relief: "The children will grow up, I am old, and you are also old."

The empress dowager looked at the not-so-aging facial features in front of her, and she couldn't laugh or cry, and spat: "Who doesn't know that you take good care of yourself?"

Stretching out her hand to touch her face, Mrs. An Yi deliberately said: "If you want to tell me the maintenance prescription, I won't be able to shut up the chatterbox, but you prefer to listen to the princess's happy event, so I won't say that to annoy you."

Such an interruption blew away the emotions circling in the empress dowager's heart.

The atmosphere in the hall became joyful again.

Not long after, a maid's report came from outside, saying that Eunuch Cao had come.

Eunuch Cao entered and saluted happily.

The Empress Dowager hurriedly asked, "What is your Majesty saying?"

"The holy majesty read the result of the horoscope, Long Yan was very happy, and personally wrote the imperial decree for the marriage," Eunuch Cao said, and presented a bright yellow scroll, "Please have a look."

Mrs. An Yi 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 all over her face and unfolded the imperial decree.

Every stroke on it is written by the Holy One himself.

The Empress Dowager is very familiar with the handwriting of the Holy Majesty, and she will never make a mistake.

It's just that this word is more elegant than usual, which is enough to see the carefree and excited mood of the person who splashed ink.

Just like her who read the imperial decree.

"Tell Your Majesty," the Empress Dowager explained, narrowing her eyes, "Aijia has seen it and is very satisfied. I can have an extra bowl of rice for lunch today."

"The younger one has to go back to the imperial study room to report later. The younger one has received the decree and is going to Fuguo Duke's Mansion to read the imperial decree," Eunuch Cao said with a smile. After saying this, he remembered Mrs. Uncle's mention of reward money just now, so he added a witty line, "The younger one also wants to earn reward money."

"Hey, hey, look!" The Empress Dowager pointed at Eunuch Cao, and laughed, "Of all the famous people around the Holy Majesty, which of the many servants in the palace has the wealth of your family? Are you still thinking about rewarding silver?"

"You can't have too much money," Eunuch Cao said with a smile, "of course you can't have too many happy events."

"You go to Fuguo Gong's mansion, but what about Chengyi Bo's mansion? Who did His Majesty order?" The empress dowager asked again.

Eunuch Cao didn't answer right away, he just squinted and gave Eunuch Xiao a wink.

Eunuch Yu understood, and immediately stood up and made a big gift to the Empress Dowager: "Please give me a chance, I will go to announce the good news to the princess, and I can also save a reward for the New Year!"

The Empress Dowager laughed heartily.

She didn't know that this was actually arranged by the Holy One, so that she could participate, and she was so happy. It was because of knowing that, apart from these funny songs, she felt the Holy One's filial piety, and her heart became more and more joyful.

"Go, let's all go quickly," the empress dowager said, "If the matter is done, can the reward be less?"

Eunuch Xiao happily received the order and left with Eunuch Cao.

After saluting each other, they were ready to go.

The Thousand Steps Corridor is not far from the gate of the Nangong Palace. The guard of honor announced the decree came out of the palace, and the news spread quickly.

Inside Honglu Temple, Liu Jing was writing documents, when he heard the movement outside, he couldn't help pricking up his ears.

"Eunuch Cao went there in person, and there are several boxes behind the sedan chair, all of which are rewards."

"I heard that someone has already rushed to the Imperial Academy, urging Uncle Chengyi to go back to the mansion first to prepare for the edict."

"If it is Miss Lin, it is said that she does not have this dignity? Could it be that we guessed wrong, it is really the princess?"

"Why did Uncle An Yi's grandson marry the princess? It's not that he's not good..."

"I understand what you mean."

"It must be the princess, it can't be wrong, there is still a decree and reward going to the West Palace Gate, and the younger eunuch is going to announce the decree."

"An Yibo has accumulated great virtue..."

Not long after, Eunuch Cao's team turned westward in the eyes of the long-necked spectators on the left and right sides of the Thousand Steps Corridor.

An Yibo Mansion is in the east of the city, right?
　The second watch is still on the way, as soon as possible...
