Farmhouse Qiaofei

Chapter 305 Contents of the Imperial Decree
Everyone inside and outside Qianyuan Palace knelt for about a cup of tea before slowly standing up.

"Notify Qin Tianjian and the people in charge of the imperial tomb..." Yan Shu suppressed the grief in his heart, and discussed the old emperor's funeral with the old eunuch.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness..." The old eunuch sighed, stopped Yan Shu, then tremblingly took out the imperial decree from the side of the old emperor, knelt down, and handed it to Yan Shu respectfully, "Your Majesty Before leaving, I tried my best to instruct this old slave to give this imperial decree to His Highness so that His Highness can open it."

Yan Shu was puzzled, took the imperial decree, and slowly opened it.

Originally, he thought that the old emperor gave him this edict to warn him not to compete with the eldest prince for the throne.

But when he saw the words "My fourth son Yan can take on a great responsibility" written on it, he immediately stayed where he was.

The old eunuch is also a person who can read words and expressions. Seeing Yan Shu's expression, he immediately kowtowed and said loudly, "Huang Deyong has met His Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

The sound of swallowing mountains and rivers immediately infected everyone.

Immediately, everyone knelt down together again and shouted in unison, "I have seen your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty."

This sound called Yan Shu back from his stupefaction. He glanced left and right at the people kneeling at his feet, and then at his own name on the imperial decree. The heart was throbbing with pain.

"Your Majesty said that he has been secretly observing His Highness, and found that His Highness is not as talented as he is, and he is quite decisive in employing people, especially after seeing that you can use General Gu for him, His Majesty smiled very gratified..." Eunuch Huang knelt on the ground, choked with sobs and said to Yan Shu, "As far as this old slave knows, His Majesty has changed his mind since last year. He said that His Royal Highness is decisive, kind-hearted and not indecisive. He will be a rare and good king in the future. , is more suitable for this position than the First Prince, the First Prince is really too headstrong. But... His Majesty did not say these words, he does not want to see you become the next First Prince, thinking that he has no scruples if he has reliance In addition, he still wants to see what you can do to impress him, so he has been hiding these things and never told His Highness... His Majesty once told the old slave when he was awake, asking him to obey His Highness As said, support His Highness to sit firmly in this position, and let the old slave pass it on to His Highness, if the First Prince is obsessed with his obsession, then... cut him off!"

After Eunuch Huang finished speaking, he fell on the ground and wept uncontrollably.

Yan Shu quickly helped him up, comforted him with a good voice, and then began to arrange the funeral of the old emperor.

At the same time, because of this imperial decree, Yan Shu's ascension to the throne became justified and smooth. Everyone present couldn't say anything wrong, and they all laughed at Yan Yan and congratulated Yan Shu.

To say that the only one who laughed was not so happy, probably only Bai Shao.

However, when she thought of the efforts Yan Shu had made for this position—whether it was hiding her edge in Xieyang County for several years, or later overthrowing the second prince in one fell swoop, as well as the deal with the third prince, there were many elaborate arrangements .She couldn't say anything more, so she had to accept this fact silently.

Yan Shu is about to ascend the throne...

And as the fourth concubine, she seems to be flying into the sky with chickens and dogs.

When all the dust in Qianyuan Palace settled and she and Linglong returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion together, all the servant girls couldn't help but congratulate her when they saw her.

Bai Shao pursed her lips, asked He Xiang to give them the broken silver, and then went back to her yard.

Because the wedding was just yesterday, the courtyard was still full of joy, with red silk hanging everywhere and bright red candles lit.

Bai Shao was extremely sleepy, hastily ordered the servant girl to blow out the candles, and then took away all the raw and cooked food from the bedroom, then fell headfirst on the bed, and fell into a dark sleep.

When she opened her eyes again, Bai Wei's slightly protruding belly shook her awake.

"Shao'er, Shao'er, you have been sleeping for a day and a night, get up quickly and eat something." Bai Wei looked at her worriedly and said.

Bai Shao blinked her sore eyelids, glanced at the sky outside, and realized belatedly, "Have I slept all day and all night?"

"Yeah, the palace is very busy right now, Qing Fan and Yan Shu... No, it's His Majesty, none of them can be seen, and the maids don't dare to disturb you, but they let you sleep for a day and a night. Only people who are starving are to blame." Bai Wei looked at the black eyes under her eyes, and couldn't help nagging.

Bai Shao got up from the bed a little tiredly, called Han Li to wait on her, changed her clothes, and simply washed her again.

Seeing that she was almost ready, Bai Wei ordered someone to bring up the meals that had been prepared earlier.

Smelling the aroma of the food, Bai Shao felt hungry, and hurriedly sat at the table, eating more than half of the meal after a meal.

Ruan Shi, who had been ill for some days, also heard about Bai Shao sleeping for a day and a night, so she got up quickly to see her, just saw Bai Shao eating like this, she couldn't help saying helplessly, "Qingqing, I can't do this in the future Eat something."

Bai Shao put down the wooden chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and looked at Ruan Shi, "What's wrong, mother?"

"You..." Ruan sighed, and said in a low voice, "You will become a queen empress in the future, and meals will be regulated. You cannot use more than three mouthfuls of a dish. If you exceed three mouthfuls, you will not be allowed to eat within a month." I want to see that dish again. And you can’t eat too fast, you have to be slow, elegant, and royal.”

After a series of rules were explained, both sisters Bai Shao and Bai Wei were dizzy.

Bai Wei is okay, that's not what she needs to do, so she just looked at her sister with some sympathy.

Bai Shao, on the other hand, had the expression of being bombarded by five thunders, with his mouth slightly open, unable to speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Ruan sighed again, and said in a low voice, "It's because I didn't take you well... This woman who is going to be a queen usually has to go through more than ten years of training. As for speech and manners, everything needs to be learned carefully. My poor Qingqing can't do anything... Alas!"

Bai Shao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed her mouth again.

Seeing that she was so lost, Ruan thought she was afraid of shame, so she took her hand to comfort her and said, "Don't be afraid, Qingqing, mother will invite an old nanny to teach you these days, and you should learn as much as possible first." Some are simple, and it’s not too late to learn others in the future. The post-sealing ceremony will not be held until several months after the enthronement ceremony, Qingqing, you still have time.”

Bai Shao lowered her eyelashes, and said calmly, "How did mother know that this queen must be me."

"Silly boy, you are his concubine, and with your brother here, the position of empress must be yours." Ruan took her hand, her expression became serious in an instant, "Remember, Qingqing , you represent not only yourself, but also the Gu family!"

"I...I remember, mother." Bai Shao pursed her lips and said in a low voice.

Only then did Ruan pat her hand in relief, and said softly, "Mother, I'll find you a nanny now. Although there are still some days before the empress ceremony, you have to learn earlier."

Said, let go of Bai Shao's hand, turned and left the yard.

When Ruan Shi disappeared, Bai Wei looked at Bai Shao sympathetically and said, "Shao Er, you will suffer in the future, I just learned the rules before marrying Qing Fan It's already been miserable for more than ten days, but looking at Aunt Ruan's posture, you have to learn it for a lifetime...a lifetime..."

"Really?" Bai Shao stared blankly at the nothingness in front of her for a moment, then finally shook her head and stood up, "Take this place away."

Everyone thought that she was afraid because of the phrase "learning the rules".

But she didn't know that what really made her lose her mind was the phrase "deal with the concubine", which reminded Bai Shao that all men in this era want to marry concubines.

If it's an ordinary family, it's fine if the male master doesn't want to marry a concubine, but as an emperor, how can there be only one queen?
The so-called three thousand beauties in the harem, although it is an exaggerated rhetoric, it also proves that the emperor's women are not afraid of having too many women.

Even Yan Yutian, who has been in love with Li Xihe for decades, has at least 30 concubines, large and small, in the harem.

Not to mention Yan Shu, whose position is not yet secure?
It's just that Bai Shao didn't expect that before the enthronement ceremony, someone rushed to send the woman over.
