The queen of drama

Chapter 822 The dowry given by Dong Yao!

After the sacrifice to heaven was over, Gong Yuhuang hugged Hua Qingchen and sat back in the chariot.

The chariot continued to circle the imperial city, and it took another hour before returning to the imperial palace.

The chariot drove directly to the gate of Ximiao's main hall.

Eunuch Wan hurried forward: "The emperor's auspicious time has come, it's time to pay homage, and the queen mother is already waiting."

Gong Yuhuang picked up Hua Qingchen and entered the Ximiao Hall. Hua Qingchen was used to being hugged by him, and he was very peaceful.

"The emperor is here! The queen is here!"

As soon as the two entered the main hall, the palace servants outside began to sing together.

Everyone looked at Gong Yuhuang and Hua Qingchen in unison.

Gong Yuhuang put Hua Qingchen down, held her hand, and walked up the long red carpet.

All the officials saw that the two matched like a couple of gods, and they couldn't help whispering.

"I heard that our empress is the sister of Empress Dongyao and Empress Nanyan, she is really beautiful!"

"The emperor finally likes women, it's not easy!"

"The women of Nan Yanhua's family are really powerful, the three sisters of the family are all queens!"

"Isn't it? It's really amazing to be able to bring back our emperor's habit and give birth to the emperor's eldest son, continuing the blood of the Ximiao royal family."

"Look at the queen mother who treats the little prince like an eyeball. The queen doesn't need anything else, just a little prince can gain a foothold in our Ximiao."

"The queen is not only the little prince. Haven't you seen that the emperor dotes on her so much? Because of her, even the emperor doesn't want to be an emperor. Even if there is no little prince, she can still stand. What's more, I heard that Nanyan gave her a lot. What about the bride price!"

"I've also heard that it seems to have been given to 20 troops outside the fifteen cities. Needless to say, the ten-mile red makeup, Nan Yan is really willing to part with it, which shows that her status in Nan Yan is not low."

"I heard that he is Nan Yan's general, and he is very good at leading troops in battle!"

Before Hua Qingchen arrived in Ximiao, various rumors about her had already spread throughout Ximiao.Now that she is married to Gong Yuhuang, not only in the court, but even all the people in Ximiao are talking about this miraculous queen after dinner.

The two held hands, and it was the first time the Empress Dowager and Hua Qingchen met at the bottom of the jade steps.

The queen mother sat on the phoenix chair next to her, holding Xiao Chenchen in her arms, and looked at Hua Qingchen deeply.

Although there was a tassel in front of her, the queen mother with excellent eyesight could still see Hua Qingchen's appearance clearly.

I don't know if it was because she looked like her little grandson, but the queen mother felt very comfortable when she saw Hua Qingchen's appearance.It's not the kind of particularly enchanting, eye-catching appearance, but it's still very beautiful. It's the kind of heroic beauty, the kind of sassy beauty, in short, it's very special.

When the Queen Mother was looking at Hua Qingchen, Hua Qingchen also looked at the Queen Mother.

Although she is still a grandmother, she still looks very young, like she is only 40 or [-] years old. She is dressed in the queen mother's court dress. She has been in power for many years, and she looks very majestic.

It can be seen that Gong Yuhuang actually looks a bit like the Queen Mother, perhaps because of her love for Xiao Chenchen, Hua Qingchen doesn't think she is scary.

"Queen Mother, the auspicious time is coming soon." Eunuch Wei stepped forward to remind him in a low voice.

Just as the queen mother was about to speak, she saw a eunuch rushing in: "Report to the emperor, the queen mother, the envoy of Dongyao has brought the queen a dowry."

Gong Yuhuang and Hua Qingchen immediately looked at each other.

The queen mother also thought of what Eunuch Wei said that day that Dong Yao's dowry was on the way, and immediately said, "Please."

The eunuch bowed and left, and after a while, there was a singing voice outside: "The envoy of Dongyao has arrived!"

Everyone looked towards the door, Hua Qingchen and Gong Yuhuang also looked over.

The two people who came in, Gong Yuhuang and Hua Qingchen knew each other, and they were He Liancheng and Ye Mingzhou.

"Foreign ministers join the Emperor Ximiao, Empress Dowager, Empress." The two of them saluted Gong Yuhuang and the others when they got close.

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Gong Yuhuang patted Ye Mingzhou on the shoulder: "Why did you two come in person?"

He is very familiar with these two, especially Ye Mingzhou, who took care of Qing'er a lot before, especially when Xiao Chenchen was in his stomach, but he drank his tonic soup every day.

Ye Mingzhou smiled and cupped his hands at him: "Of course I came to congratulate you, and also to give his sister-in-law a dowry according to our emperor's order."

Ye Mingzhou bowed to the queen mother again after speaking: "The dowry prepared by our emperor is Baitai, Lanpo, Songling, Anling... Fifteen cities including Qingyu, and 20 elite soldiers. Our empress prepared ten boxes of jewels, ten Boxes of gold and silver, ten boxes of jade, ten boxes of silk… the elite soldiers stayed outside the imperial city, and the rest of the dowry was carried into the palace, and this box contains the city seals of the fifteen cities and other dowry lists.”

Ye Mingzhou offered the box as he spoke.

Everyone in the hall was stunned, never expecting that Dong Yao's emperor would prepare so much dowry for the empress.

The fifteen cities of Dongyao plus the fifteen cities of Nanyan, isn't that thirty cities?Thirty cities added up are bigger than some small countries!
And Dong Yao also gave 20 elite soldiers, plus Nan Yan's 20 elite soldiers, wouldn't the queen have 40 elite soldiers, which was almost half as strong as Xi Miao's.

How did Dong Yao and Nan Yan treat their queen so well? It couldn't be their conspiracy. They deliberately gave them so many cities and elite soldiers, so they wouldn't want to annex them in the future.

It has to be said that Ximiao's courtiers have a very rich imagination.

The queen mother didn't expect Dong Yao to prepare so many betrothal gifts, she looked at Hua Qingchen solemnly.

The emperors of Dong Yao and Nan Yan are not confused, they are willing to give so much dowry, what is the charm of this woman?Or is it that the women of the Hua family all have witchcraft, which can charm even wise emperors to the point of irrationality.

Everyone was stunned, even Eunuch Wei was stunned, and he didn't come to pick up the box.

After a while, Eunuch Wei came back to his senses, hurried down to pick up the box, and sent it up to the Queen Mother.

The queen mother opened the box and took a look. Seeing that the seals were all real, her heart became more complicated. After a while, she said: "Since it is a dowry for the queen, the queen can keep it herself."

As soon as the queen mother said this, the officials below became lively again.

"All the dowry is for the queen alone? That's all for other things, these thirty cities and 40 elite soldiers? Do you let the queen take care of it all?"

"Yeah, how much tax does Thirty City have in a year, and the Queen Mother doesn't want it?"

"Where are the 40 elite soldiers? Let the Queen take care of them all. Isn't the Queen Mother afraid of the Queen's rebellion?"

Ye Mingzhou was also a little surprised, the old lady didn't seem like such an unreasonable person.

The Empress Dowager handed the box to Eunuch Wei expressionlessly, and Eunuch Wei ran down and handed the box to Hua Qingchen.

Hua Qingchen glanced at the queen mother, nodded to her, and then let Qingzhi take the box.

The queen mother curled her lips, Xi Miao was not so poor that she wanted to touch her daughter-in-law's dowry, so naturally she wouldn't touch her.
