The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 39 Entering the Palace to Thank You
The next morning, He Huai'an didn't go to the morning court, but had breakfast with the children and Fang Xiuyi.

"My lord, why didn't you go to court today?" Fang Xiuyi was very surprised, why such a hard-working civil servant seems to be a little sloppy recently.

"Later, I will take you into the palace to thank you!" He Huai'an asked someone to get the gown into the palace, "I was supposed to go yesterday, but your gown was not ready."

"I'm going into the palace today, won't I kneel for a long time like last time?" Thinking about it makes me uncomfortable, not only kneeling, but also being beaten.

He Huai'an shook his head, "No. Besides, you are a first-class wife now, and you don't have to bow down to other concubines in the harem."

"By the way, my lord, you are a second-rank official, why am I a first-rank official? Won't it cause criticism?" Fang Xiuyi didn't understand the reason. , even Siyuan and Feiyu have titles. This seems a bit random?"

He Huai'an was silent, just looked at Fang Xiuyi, his eyes seemed to say: What do you think?

Fang Xiu gave He Huai'an a blank look, thinking she could accept other people's brainwaves?
"I think, either you used me last time, and now that I'm your wife, you should make up for me. Or, I'm still very useful, so let's pave the way in advance."

There was no approving smile on He Huai'an's face, but a deep thoughtful one, but his tone was still very sincere: "It's no wonder that you, a weak woman, brought children and the elderly with you all these years, and managed to make it this far."

Fang Xiuyi wanted to say something else, but the two children came in.When she saw it, her eyes lit up.Both children are wearing dresses, Siyuan's is purple, Feiyu's is red and white dress, they look like little angels.Before she could hold the children and kiss her enough, the people in the palace began to torment her.He Huai'an waited in the study with the child.

Fang Xiuyi has been here for so many years, and she has never put on makeup, let alone any maintenance. It is all due to her youthful foundation and good foundation, which is not too damaged.Under her strong resistance and persistence, the palace people had no choice but to put on light makeup for her, trimmed her eyebrows, tapped her blush twice, lightly applied pink lip balm, and finally applied a thin layer of powder to set her makeup .She hasn't taken good care of her skin these years, so it will inevitably be rough and dull. The natural beauty and skin like cream in those novels have nothing to do with her, so if she wears heavy makeup, she will definitely look fake. Just brightens the complexion.Everything will come slowly later.When Fang Xiu looked at herself in the mirror, she was quite satisfied. The light makeup just highlighted her youthful advantages without losing her dignity.She also saw the surprise of the palace people, and they probably didn't expect a little cook from the countryside to have such insight.

As for the clothes, Fang Xiuyi has no opinion. The colors and styles are all custom-made. There are three layers inside and three layers outside. Ornament, she herself felt that she had risen several levels immediately, not to mention anything else, just standing there, she was confident and majestic for no reason.This "Buddha needs gold clothes, people need clothes" is indeed a wise saying.

When Fang Xiu stood in front of He Huai'an and the children with a smile on her face, she was satisfied to see the shock of the three of them.For a moment, she immediately got carried away, put her hands on her hips, and laughed wantonly "haha".

"How? Scared you?!"

Siyuan grinned stupidly, Fei Yu looked at her mother's exaggeration, and felt a little resentful.The Fang Xiuyi that He Huai'an saw before were all dressed in plain clothes, and his appearance was passable. Looking at it now, Fang Xiuyi has turned into a dusty pearl, and after being polished, it blooms with a strange brilliance. He looks at it with admiration. Fang Xiu laughed out loud.

Fang Xiuyi's unsuitable behavior was stopped by the palace staff in time, and she quickly put on a dignified look.

"It's getting late, my lord, let's go!" Fang Xiu moved lightly with lotus steps, and said softly to He Huai'an with her head half bowed.

He Huai'an nodded with a smile, and walked to the front yard with his family.

The two children and the people from the palace sat in a carriage and followed He Huai'an and Fang Xiuyi's carriage.As soon as Fang Xiu was sitting in the carriage, she unconsciously wanted to stick her head out to look at the carriage behind, but as soon as she lifted the curtain, she realized her current identity and could no longer be as casual as before, so her expression was unavoidable.

"The child is in the car behind. Pinellia is here, so you don't have to worry." He Huai'an seemed to see Fang Xiuyi's displeasure, and comforted him.

Fang Xiuyi was a little uneasy, she twisted her clothes with both hands, and complained in a low voice: "This is going to the palace, not the market to buy vegetables, why don't you worry?"

He Huai'an looked at Fang Xiuyi with an anxious face, and the beads on the golden crown shaking with the car, couldn't hide his depression.

"Listen to me, the child is fine. However, you may have to worry about it later." He Huai'an tried his best to explain one thing vaguely, "The Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager's niece, and now Wu Zhaoyi is the Empress Dowager's cousin. The Empress Dowager’s natal family helped the Holy Majesty a lot.”

Fang Xiuyi was a little confused, who is Wu Zhaoyi?What do they have to do with me?Helping the emperor a lot, but not helping her, what is this all about?She opened her eyes wide and stared at He Huai'an bitterly: "What do you mean? I don't quite understand."

He Huai'an looked at Fang Xiuyi again, as if he was considering whether Fang Xiuyi was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.

"Wu Zhaoyi is the former Concubine Wu Shu." He Huaian didn't ask Fang Xiuyi any more, it was just an excuse anyway, and there was no danger, "Didn't the Holy Majesty grant you a first-rank imperial order? When you enter the palace later, you will put on a first-rank imperial order." Prestige, remember, this is bestowed on you by the Holy Majesty, and no one can deprive and despise it except the Holy Majesty!"

It turned out to be that woman!Fang Xiu nodded. At this time, she also thought of the first-rank order. Last time, she wondered why she was given such a high rank. It seems that she still needs to use it today. If it doesn’t work well, maybe that The perverted emperor will take it back.That won't work!Such a good fate, although it bears dangers, the wealth that comes with it is also obvious.

"I know! Don't worry, I will not disappoint the holy will!" Fang Xiuyi immediately gained confidence and motivation when she thought of the rewards the children received for this.

"Just do your best, I'm here for everything!"

Although the relationship between the two is between strangers and husband and wife, and they are more inclined to strangers, this sentence gave Fang Xiuyi great comfort and support. She let out a long breath and gave He Huai'an a big heart. smiley.It's no wonder that there are many women who will pour their hearts out to a man for just one sentence, and will never change until death. His grandma's is just too magical!
At the gate of the palace, Fang Xiuyi got off the car slowly with the support of He Huai'an, with a dignified demeanor and an appearance that did not surprise He Huai'an. It can be seen from the strength of Xiuyi's grip on his hand that she is really nervous, it's just that she is showing her teeth and claws.

Siyuan and Feiyu didn't say much, they quietly followed behind their parents, they had already memorized the rules of entering the palace by heart.

Still the same place, but with a different status.The last time I came here, she was a lowly cook who was beaten into disfigurement.This time, although I don't know what the emperor wants to do, but the status was raised by rocket, first rank!One level higher than He Huai'an!Think about it and relieve your anger.

Fang Xiuyi tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that were about to rise, and walked in the solemn and high-pressure imperial city with excitement in her heart and a steady appearance.The two children also obediently followed behind their parents, not looking around, not talking, like two little adults, causing the eunuch who led the way to look twice more.

It's still in Qianqing Palace, but Fang Xiuyi raised his head when he entered this time. Although he couldn't look at the emperor at the same level, he could be regarded as majestic and high-spirited, so he also saw another person sitting here——Wen Ren should.She glanced at Wen Renyi out of the corner of her eye, why would this person appear everywhere!

The family of four knelt on the ground, saluted the emperor, and wished the emperor a long live, but the voices of the two children were exceptionally clear.

"Get up quickly!" The emperor said enthusiastically, not knowing whether it was true or not, "Hurry up and let the two children come to me and let me have a look."

Siyuan led Feiyu to walk five steps away from the emperor steadily, knelt down again, and shouted slogans again, which made Fang Xiuyi's heart ache.

"Get up quickly." The emperor asked the attendants beside him to help the two children up. "They are really smart and well-behaved. They really look like He Aiqing! Come and fetch the things I prepared."

What the emperor gave to Siyuan was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and what the emperor gave to Feiyu was a bunch of pearl flowers.The children knelt down and thanked again.

"Hahahaha, what a good boy!" The emperor was very happy, and said to Fang Xiuyi, "I've heard He Aiqing tell you about your experience with the children, you really worked hard!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding! The concubine is just fulfilling her responsibility as a mother, and the main thing is for the children to strive for themselves!" Fang Xiu was very happy when she heard someone praise her children, and immediately forgot that she was facing the emperor.

"Alright, alright, let's keep up the good work, children!" The emperor changed his tone, "I really like it. I wonder if He Aiqing can let them into the palace. It just so happens that the fifth prince and the third princess don't have a companion to read."
