The soft beauty is very good at flirting, and the soul of the ascetic prince is floating

Song Jingzhang looked at the Queen Mother and was so happy that she forgot her demeanor.
While I felt funny in my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

He stood up and pulled the Queen Mother back to sit on the fire bed. He spoke to comfort her:

"Don't worry, mother. After my son learned about it, he sent Dr. Wang from the Imperial Hospital and Dr. An, who specializes in gynecology, to Gu's side."

"Besides, it's only a few days until the eighth day of next month. First, if we finalize the rank and tidy up the palace, it will be cheaper for Gu to enter the palace."

The Queen Mother finally calmed down and said, "Zhang Er, you are more thoughtful."

Completely forgetting yesterday's thoughts on how to prevent Song Jingzhang from conferring the title of concubine to the Gu family,

He even said rather uneasily:

"If Zhao Youzheng is the only one to pick her up, I'm afraid it might be inconvenient, so let's ask Ping An to go pick her up with Gu on the same day."

Ping An, that is, Grandma Ping,
As the Queen Mother's personal steward, Mammy has always been very dignified in the harem.

Even Mrs. Lin had to respectfully call her "Mother Ping" when she saw her. Those concubines with lower status had to give blessings when they saw them.

Asking Aunt Ping to pick him up also meant that the Queen Mother was willing to do something for Gu Wanyu.

"Thank you, mother, for taking this trouble. It must be appropriate for my son to let General Xu lead a group of guards to escort him."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, "Amitabha, the Buddha is really blessing me."

"Knock knock knock!"

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, followed closely by Zhao Youzheng's voice,

"Your Majesty, Mr. Liu from the Ministry of Revenue asked to see you in front of the Xuanzheng Hall. He said he had something important to report."

"State affairs are heavy, so you can go and do your own business, but remember not to work too hard." the Queen Mother instructed.

"Yes, mother, don't worry. Mother, please take care of yourself. My son will come back tomorrow to pay you respects."

Song Jingzhang got up and resigned, returning to the Xuanzheng Hall.

The issue of Gu Wanyu's status that has been tangled up has been solved, and the concubines no longer need to suppress the canonization decree.
The next day, Song Jingzhang drafted the imperial edict together and asked Zhao Youzheng to pass it on.

He still had some selfish motives,

It was said that Gu Wanyu was given the position of the ninth concubine, but the position was directly given to the head of the nine concubines, Zhaoyi.
In addition, he was given a title personally.

Zhao Youzheng went to Qingshui Hutong in person according to the imperial edict.
Gu Wanyu immediately ordered people to set up the incense table, and all the servants knelt down to listen to the order.

"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that there is a good daughter of the Gu family, who is of a careful nature, diligent and submissive, peaceful and pure, and of a gentle nature."

Gu Wanyu knelt in front, her eyes moving slightly with her head lowered.

Do these words really have anything to do with her?
Diligence and submissiveness can be explained as being well-behaved and serving with all one's heart.

next to...

Is she pure?

As for gentleness,

Wen Liang, who had both the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion and the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion let her settle?

Song Jingzhang quite values ​​​​face.

Even though he knew what her true nature was, she still wrote so many good words in the edict,
Not just because I want to prove that I have good vision.
Gu Wanyu curled her lips and wanted to smile.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the many eunuchs brought by Zhao Youzheng, and he suppressed his smile in an instant.

If she really laughed, I am afraid that tomorrow the palace will spread her disrespectful words towards the emperor.

Zhao Youzheng was still reciting solemnly:

"... Ke Xian's inner principles and virtues contain seals. Immediately after that, he was canonized as Zhaoyi and given the title of Ning. I admire this!"

Zhaoyi, Empress Zhaoyi!
Kneeling behind them were all the slaves, all of whom were very happy, especially Xiaohuan and Xiaoqing.

After reading the last word, Zhao Youzheng put together the imperial edict and respectfully handed it to Gu Wanyu with both hands.
"Empress Ning Zhaoyi, please accept the order!" "I thank you for your grace. Long live my emperor!"

Raising her hands to receive the imperial edict, Xiaohuan and Xiaoqing came over immediately to help her up.

"Your Majesty, on the eighth day of April, the servants and General Xu, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, will come together to welcome your Majesty into the palace."

Zhao Youzheng nodded and bowed, his face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile,

"I would like to ask you to make preparations early. If there is anything difficult to deal with, just send someone to inform this servant."

Gu Wanyu nodded lightly, "Okay, then I will be waiting for Mr. Zhao."

Now that she is Empress Zhaoyi, she can naturally call herself "this palace".

"By the way, there is also this. The emperor asked the servant to give it to you." Zhao Youzheng took out a wooden box from his arms behind him and handed it to her.
Gu Wanyu opened it and took a look.
It is the land deed of this mansion and the physical deed of Xu Ling and others.

"The emperor said that this mansion, together with Xu Ling and other servants who cannot follow him into the palace, will be left to the empress to do as she pleases."

"I was originally thinking about this matter, but the Emperor agreed and asked Manager Zhao to go back and thank the Emperor for your grace." Gu Wanyu opened her mouth.

"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely bring you your words." Zhao Youzheng bowed and smiled,

"I have to return to the palace to resume my life, so I won't disturb you anymore. I'll retire."

"Mr. Zhao, go slowly." He said with a wink to Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan immediately understood and sent him out, stuffing a heavy purse into his pocket.
After returning, he and Xu Ling led many servants, knelt down on the ground and shouted:
"Slave/servant, congratulations to Empress Ning Zhaoyi, congratulations to Empress Ning Zhaoyi!"

"Everyone is delighted. Everyone in the government will be rewarded with one month of silver."

Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him and said auspicious words.

Gu Wanyu laughed and joked with them for a while, then turned around and remembered what he had thought about before, and said again:

"There's one more thing. There are only a few days until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, so let's talk about it together. You can also make arrangements early."

Everyone was busy making a gesture of all ears.

"But it's about entering the palace. Xu Ling, Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Qian couldn't enter the palace, so they stayed in the mansion. As before, Xu Ling will be the general manager and lead them to guard the mansion."

"Yes, master, don't worry, my slave will live up to his command."

"As for Liufu," Gu Wanyu looked at Gu Liufu who had been carefully raised and had some flesh on his face.

Gu Liufu immediately responded, "Young one is here."

"Do you want to enter the palace?"

Gu Liufu scratched his head and said, "Young one, I still want to get a wife."

As soon as these words came out, everyone else couldn't help laughing.

"Who said that letting you enter the palace means making you a eunuch!" Gu Wanyu couldn't help but laugh,

She originally wanted to ask Song Jingzhang for a favor.
Let Gu Liufu find a job in the Royal Forest Army. Being a bodyguard is also a way out.
Now that he was interrupting me, I had a better idea.
"Forget it, then you can stay in the house and study. Besides, I want to accept you as my adopted brother. I wonder if you would like it?"

Gu Liufu was smart and conscientious, serving her for such a long time regardless of his own safety.

She had already regarded him as a younger brother and had long planned to accept him as her adoptive brother.

Gu Liufu was naturally overjoyed and his face turned red with excitement. He hurriedly knelt down with a "pop" sound.

"Young one, if my master doesn't abandon me, I will be honored."

"it is good!"

Gu Wanyu looked at Xu Ling again.

"Xu Ling is looking at it. Find a husband. Treat him just like you treat me. Do you understand?"

"Master, don't worry. I will take care of you from now on." Xu Ling said very politely and changed his title in an instant.
