Chapter 552
Cold Palace
Kneeling on the ground that had been cleaned cleanly, without any fallen leaves or snow.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: All the concubines of the late emperor in the cold palace who have contributed to cultivating potato seeds will be pardoned for their past sins. Each of them will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver. They will leave the palace and return home to take care of themselves. After returning home, they are not allowed to remarry, nor are they allowed to marry again. I appreciate this for doing something that brings disgrace to the royal family."

Standing behind the prince, Leng Luoyue frowned, not very satisfied with the fact that she could not remarry. After all, many of the former emperor's concubines were still young.

However, the rules were like this. Any woman who had served the emperor and remarried would be a blasphemy to the royal family. It was understandable that Feng Chenghan added this rule for the sake of the royal family's face.

If any of them really want to marry again, there is no other way. They can just change their identities like Wang Jieyu.

"I accept the order and thank you Lord for your kindness. Long live my emperor."

Concubine Sun took over the imperial edict and everyone stood up.

Lan Bi, Su Zhaorong and others who were kneeling behind were really envious. After staying in the cold palace for so many days, they were really going crazy and wanted to leave, even if they could never see the emperor again in their lifetime.

Wang Xin looked at Mrs. Sun and others with a smile and said: "From today on, you are free and can go home. Your family will be happy to be pardoned because of your merits."

If they were just released from the palace and returned home, their families might be disgusted, but they were pardoned by the emperor for their meritorious service in cultivating potato seeds, and the imperial edict would be announced to the world. Naturally, the family would take them back happily. Take good care of yourself at home.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, please come and announce the decree."

"Anyway, you all must have something to say with Concubine Leng. The Zajia family will not be delayed and go back to report to the emperor." After Wang Xin said this, he bowed his hands to everyone, turned around and left Leng Palace with the people who came with him.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Leng Luoyue raised her hands and congratulated Mrs. Sun and the others.

Facing her congratulations, Mrs. Xu and the others smiled with red eyes, "Luoyue, thank you."

Lin Liangren raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face and said with choked sobs: "Thank you very much. I never thought that one day I would be able to get out of this cold palace."

Unlike the elderly concubines and concubines, she no longer cares about the outside world. She is used to living in the cold palace and can't bear to leave.Of course, she was a little reluctant to let go, but she still wanted to stay in the cold palace.

Although there is freedom in the cold palace, the freedom within this square palace wall is different from the freedom outside in the sky and the sea.

"Luoyue, thank you..." He Meiren cried so hard that she couldn't speak.

The others didn't want to cry at first, but when they saw her crying, their noses became sore and they started crying too.

"Okay..." Leng Luoyue found that her voice was choked as soon as she spoke. She paused again, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Why are you crying on this special day? We should laugh."

"Yes, we should laugh." Mrs. Xu smiled and wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief.

Others also stopped crying and grinned.

Only one person cried so hard that he couldn't stop crying, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

"Why are you crying?" Concubine Xu looked at Concubine Ma strangely.

Concubine Ma burst into tears, "Wuwu, I, I am happy for the eldest lady. When the eldest lady leaves the palace, I will pray for the eldest lady in the palace and ask Bodhisattva to bless the eldest lady and live a long life."

She entered the cold palace and was taken care of by the eldest lady and other sisters, and she lived a comfortable and happy life for the past few months.

But now, she was about to be separated from these old sisters, and she felt so reluctant and sad.

Xu Taibi frowned and stared at her for a while, then asked, "What are you doing, why don't you leave the palace?"

Concubine Ma was startled, "I, I can't get out either." "Why can't you get out?" Concubine Xu said, "The imperial edict says that the concubines of the late emperor who cultivated potato seeds were shoveled out by you. Those of the earth are naturally among them.”

Concubine Ma looked at Concubine Leng, her eyes clearly asking: "Is that so?"

Leng Luoyue muttered: "Well... It stands to reason that you should be able to leave the palace with Xu Taibi and the others."

Concubine Ma was overjoyed at first, then thought that even if she left the palace, she would have nowhere to go, and her face fell again, "I don't know where to go when I go out, so I'd better stay here in the cold palace."

Even if Zhaoer marries so far away, she can't go to Tianqi.

"Idiot, you are my maid, and I brought you into the palace. Of course you will follow me when you leave the palace. Otherwise, where else do you want to go?" Xu Taibi said fiercely, with a look of disgust.

"Aww, Miss..." Mrs. Ma cried and hugged Mrs. Xu tightly, feeling extremely moved.

Xu Taibin pushed her in disgust, "Let go, let go, the snot from your nose is all on my clothes."

It made everyone laugh, and they understood that Concubine Xu was only disgusted on the surface, but she was happy in her heart.

Xia Yao asked them about their plans. The young ones all planned to go home, and some of the older ones who still missed their families also planned to go home.

Concubine Sun did not plan to go home. She planned to take the money and savings she had accumulated over the years and walk around.

She originally didn't plan to leave the cold palace because she thought it was quiet, but these days she has figured it out.After being trapped in this deep palace for decades, now that I have the opportunity, why not go out, travel around, and see the famous mountains and rivers, the ebb and flow?

Concubine Xu, Meiren Liu and a few others who are elderly and have no nostalgia for their family members plan to raise money to buy a small village and a few acres of land outside Kyoto.A dozen old sisters, playing mahjong, farming, dancing, and living a leisurely life.

Zhuangzi and the others had already asked Wang Ping and the others to look at it, and were waiting for them to see if it was suitable after they left the palace. If so, they would buy it directly.

Concubine Xu and the others plan to pack up today and leave the palace tomorrow.

Leng Luoyue said that she would bring the kitten to see them off tomorrow and left.

When she left, Lan Bi and the others wanted to come forward to talk to her, but they were stopped by Xu Tai Bi and the others.

The next day, Leng Luoyue brought the little cat to see off Mrs. Xu and the others.

They took the people to the gate of the palace. They took turns hugging the kitten. Finally, they glanced at the high palace walls on both sides of the long street. With a trace of reluctance to leave Leng Luoyue and the kitten, they left this sleepy building. They stayed in the palace for many years.

The palace door opened, and many carriages were parked outside.

It was the family members of these concubines and concubines who came to the palace gate to pick them up after receiving the news.

Leng Luoyue watched them get on the carriage, then turned around and took Xiaomao'er's hand back to Lengxiang Palace.

As soon as he walked to the palace gate, he heard Chengrong saying: "Chengsheng, you have served the emperor. What do you think the emperor is thinking? They have ordered the concubines in the cold palace to leave the palace. Why? Without mentioning it at all, how about a reward for our mother-in-law?"

The news of the high potato harvest has now spread throughout Kyoto. The emperor also stayed at Lengxiang Palace yesterday, but he did not mention the reward for their concubine Leng.

Leng Luoyue paused. To be honest, she didn't know what the Dog Emperor was thinking.

Although she didn't offer the potato seeds for a reward, but because the system asked her to do it, she should also be rewarded, right?
