farm lady

Chapter 286
During the celebration, all the officials congratulated Lord Wen and Xiao Yu one after another, but Yixue's family was left out in the cold. The reason was that in the eyes of all the officials, their family background was too poor. Still a village woman.If you have no background, you will be looked down upon by others.Xiao Yu has always been paying attention to Yi Xue's family. Seeing how snobbish these officials are, he walked out of the crowd and stood with Yi Xue's family.Wen Taichang greeted all the officials and came over to congratulate Mrs. Zhang and Yi Xue.

Everyone was puzzled for a moment, and looked at Yi Xue's family one after another. Why, do the Shizi and Mr. Wen have a good relationship with their family?Isn't it just a farmer who got an adventure and found food?
The Holy Majesty in the seat smiled slightly, his yellow face was slightly radiant, while the Empress looked at Yi Xue's family without saying a word, her face was very calm.Lord Xiao and King Xi looked at Yixue's family with a smile on their faces, but King Xi closed his eyes and rested his mind, as if everything was under my control.

Eunuch Qin said loudly, "My lords, please return to your original positions and declare the decree: Blessed by the heavens, the emperor ordered that the new grain yield of [-] catties per mu is now a great fortune for our family. For the prosperity of the world, the new grain provided by Wang and Zhang's family will be distributed in the spring of the next year, and the whole world will celebrate together."

Then I heard the sound of cannons, which was deafening. Officials outside the imperial city had already posted notices, telling the people that in the spring of the coming year, new grain would be distributed to the people for free for planting. Suddenly, the entire imperial city boiled, and the world boiled.Many people gathered together and kowtowed in the direction of the imperial city, thanking the heavenly grace. So far, the prestige of the Holy One has won the world, and the names of Zhang's family are known to everyone.

"All the officials are invited to the table, all the female relatives are invited to the inner palace, and the Queen's Empress invites Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhang's family to a banquet," Eunuch Qin shouted.Everyone sat down at the table one after another, and someone from Yi Xue's family came to lead them.Because Xiaojun is a man, he naturally wouldn't go with Yi Xue's family, Xiao Yu took the initiative to take Xiaojun to sit with him, and Yi Xue felt relieved.The three of Yi Xue followed a young eunuch, and as soon as they walked slowly, they heard a voice like Yingming cuckoo singing, "Mrs. Xianyu, Denong... Miss Yixue"

Yi Xue turned around hastily, and saw Luan driving lightly, the car curtain slightly opened, a half face as beautiful as the bright moon, with a faint smile.

The little eunuch hurried over, knelt down and shouted, "The empress is safe!"

Yi Xue's family also hurriedly knelt down, and Yi Xue was speechless, the number of times she knelt today broke a lifetime record. "Empress Empress, thousand years old, thousand years old", the three members of Zhang's family sang.

"Excuse me, let's go on the same road for a few days, let's go together", the empress said, then put down the curtain of the sedan chair, and Luan drove forward, walking in front of Yixue's family.

Zhang Shi, Yi Xue, Xiaojun and Erya followed behind, no one dared to stop them all the way.Erya entered the palace for the first time, but she was not as scared as a newcomer. She was nervous, but she followed her mother and sister closely without looking sideways.The performance of Yi Xue's family was very calm, which surprised the maidservants who followed behind.Most people will sweat nervously when they come to the palace, what's more, they will faint, and some will go to the toilet nervously.But looking at these three, there was no discomfort at all.

Soon, they came to a side hall, "Yuehua Pavilion".

"The empress is here..." The eunuch who followed shouted loudly, "Get off the sedan chair..."

The Empress put her maid's hand in her hand, slowly walked out of the Luanjia, and said with a slight smile, "Madam Xianyu, Yi Xue, and the little girl, just enter with me."

Mrs. Zhang nodded in trepidation, Yi Xue smiled, pulled Erya, and followed the queen into Yuehua Pavilion.I saw people kneeling down on the ground, each in pink clothes like a butterfly, Guanhua and black hair like a cloud, shouting loudly, "Empress Empress Jin'an!"

Yi Xue took a glance, and the one kneeling at the front was Imperial Concubine Li Yanzhi, behind was Concubine You and three unknown women, and behind them were the masters of various palaces.At the end, Yi Xue vaguely saw a few familiar people, including Concubine Huan and Concubine Hong of the West Prince's Mansion, and one who turned out to be Liu Mei...

"Get up," the queen said lightly.

Everyone got up, and then they saw Mrs. Zhang and the others standing beside the queen at a glance, and they were stunned. Could this be the host and guest of today's banquet?
Li Yanzhi frowned, but she didn't speak, and Concubine You Gui's eyes lit up when she saw Yi Xue, she nodded slightly to Yi Xue to say hello.Concubine Huan in the back smiled faintly, while Concubine Hong and Liu Mei glared at Yi Xue, but only for a moment, then bowed their heads.

"Okay, today is a lucky day for my Tang Dynasty. The Holy One is happy and the people are happy. We specially invite Mrs. Xianyu and Miss Yi Xue, the discoverers of new food, to come to the banquet. You can't neglect it," said the empress majesticly.

Yi Xue looked at the empress of Tang Dynasty, the mother of a country, and felt that she seemed deep and distant.This is a kind of breath contained in the long-term struggle in the deep palace.

"Yes, Empress Dowager", everyone replied, and Concubine You Gui immediately stepped forward, holding the hands of Mrs. Zhang and Yi Xue, "You two, please take a seat."

Seeing Concubine You's actions, everyone was amazed. This Concubine You seldom interacted with others. Since she became seriously ill, she hardly ever went out of the house, but looking at her complexion today, she didn't seem to be ill.What is even more surprising is that Concubine You seems to know Zhang's family.

Li Yanzhi sneered, Zhang's family is only acquainted with Concubine You Gui today, the empress is a woman of ten thousand gold, she has never seen them before, and they have no help today, so she took good care of them.As long as you don't tarnish the empress's face, secretly keep them from stepping down and avenge your sister.Concubine You Gui was calculating, but Yi Xue took a serious look.Yi Xue had already become vigilant after seeing Liu Mei, and when she saw the inexplicable chuckle at the corner of Li Yanzhi's mouth, she knew she had been tricked.The corner of Yi Xue's mouth curled up, did she think that I would be helpless in the palace?
Everyone sat down, because Yixue and Zhang's imperial ranks were not low, equivalent to the rank of imperial concubine, naturally they were accompanied by four people including the queen, imperial concubine, and You Guifei. Erya also sat beside Zhang, but those The low-rank concubines sat down, and Liu Mei and others even sat at another table.Concubine Hong didn't have much prejudice against Yi Xue, but Liu Mei was different. Since Huawang Town, she had been at odds with Yi Xue, and Yi Xue was safe and sound after several shots, which made her very angry.She had thought that she had become the imperial concubine, so she could hold Wang Yixue's head firmly, but she didn't expect that Wang Yixue would become a second-rank imperial concubine after the situation changed.She herself has no edict yet, only when Li Yun inherits the title of prince, can she become a first-rank edict logically.She hated in her heart, why did Wang Yixue have such a good life, even though she climbed to this position with all her efforts, she still couldn't compare to her?

"Mrs. Xianyu, Miss Yixue, today, according to the Holy Majesty's will, I will celebrate your achievements, please don't lie," the queen said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said, "Empress, we are country girls and don't know the rules. Please forgive me if I neglect all the nobles."

Except for the empress, Li Yanzhi and Concubine You Gui's complexions remained unchanged, the remaining three people all showed contemptuous looks. In their eyes, even if you are nobler than one person, are you still a village girl?
"It's okay, just enjoy it to your heart's content, and I naturally don't care about it," said the empress flatly.

Yi Xue didn't speak. She could see now that the empress was acting like a businessman, and she didn't have much enthusiasm. Perhaps, as she said, it was just to complete the task assigned to her by the superior.Concubine You Gui was different, she sat beside Yi Xue, smiling faintly.

"The whole world now knows that Miss Yixue has discovered new food. That is the blessing of our people in the world. I don't know where Miss Yixue found it. Can you tell us about it?" A lady dressed as a noble concubine asked with a smile , but there was not much sincerity in the smile, on the contrary, it gave Yi Xue the feeling that it was artificial, just asking for the sake of asking.

Yixue smiled lightly and said, "Fawang Village is backed by Huawang Mountain. It is a blessed land of immortals. There are too many good things in it. If someone before entered, they might have discovered it a long time ago. I'm just lucky, ma'am absurd praise"

The queen looked at Yi Xue's calm appearance, and nodded inadvertently. This little girl is really extraordinary, her words are neither arrogant nor humble, and she is calm and calm, which is a good thing.

"Miss Yixue said that I heard that there are wild beasts infesting Kao Mountain, and ordinary people can't enter it. It is a blessing for a girl to be able to enter, which shows that God values ​​Miss Yixue," Concubine You said with a smile. None of the people sitting there treated Yi Xue's family sincerely. After the Empress Empress said a word, she actually stopped speaking, and the atmosphere was somewhat dull.She had no choice but to speak up to ease the atmosphere.

"That's true, but I heard that Miss Yi Xue has a father, why didn't you come?" Li Yanzhi said suddenly.

Zhang's face froze, a little ugly.And Yi Xue sneered, is this coming?Concubine Hong and Liu Mei who were sitting at the other table snickered secretly, why don't you read Wang Yixue's joke now?No matter how beautiful your family is, then the matter of Si is a stain.A hooligan father, let's see what else you can do to live.

When everyone heard what the imperial concubine said, they immediately became interested and looked at Yi Xue.Yi Xue smiled faintly, and lightly patted Afraidiang's arm to calm her down.Then she said, "What the imperial concubine said was that when Yi Xue was young, she met her father, she was ignorant, and then she found out that I still have a father." Yi Xue said with a faint smile.

"Oh? Why is that?" Someone asked curiously.

Only the Queen, Li Yanzhi, Liu Mei and a few others knew a little about Yi Xue's affairs. Yaosi is still in prison, he is already stupid and has no use value.

Yi Xue nodded, and continued, neither humble nor overbearing, "Because I have no choice but to choose my father, even if he is not good. Since I was seven years old, my father left home, took away the fields and silver we depended on, and made our mother The four of us are lonely and helpless, my mother worked hard to raise the four of us, but my father came back with a concubine five years later, so my mother was sad, and the four of us were even more panicked."
