Chapter 387 The Decree
Peiying and Yushan cried for half the night and fell asleep at dawn.However, she didn't sleep for long. Although Mu Yunge promised her not to enter the palace overnight, she didn't say that she didn't have to enter the palace to serve today. Although she was sad, she thought that she would leave the palace. Mu Yunge followed Peilian and Pei Qing, although the two of them were clever, they still couldn't handle many things flexibly enough. Afraid that Mu Yunge would be disturbed, they got up to tidy up and prepared to leave the Pingguo Mansion.

Yushan waited for Xiao Shi to get up and had breakfast, and when she returned to her room, she saw that she had already got up, so she hurriedly asked, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"The empress is still waiting in the palace." Peiying shook her head and stubbornly wanted to leave: "I'd better go back to the palace."

Yushan smiled and said, "It's not in such a hurry. I went to serve my wife just now, and she said that someone from the palace has sent a message, and the empress asked you to rest in the mansion, and it will not be too late to go back at night."

"Your Majesty?" Peiying was dubious, but Yushan never lied, so she could only follow Yushan and return to Yushan's room to sit down.

Yushan took her hand and said with a low laugh: "You, although you are dedicated to your mother, sometimes you will be confused by the predicament in front of you, and you can't understand the meaning of your mother well. You have been crying for so long, can you think Did it work?"

Peiying shook her head first, then nodded again: "Actually, I know that my mother values ​​me very much in her heart, but I just can't figure it out. She clearly knows my feelings for Master Yuan, so why would she marry him? But I thought about it again, in fact, apart from following my mother, I have studied for two years, no matter in terms of family background, appearance or talent, I am indeed very ordinary, if I marry Master Yuan, I am afraid that I will be looked down upon in the future."

Yushan stroked her hair, and sighed: "You, actually, I still don't understand. I feel a little weird about my mother, don't you?"

"I dare not." Peiying jumped up in panic as if someone had seen through the secret in her heart, and denied it categorically.

"I dare not, it's not that I don't have it." Yu Shan smiled and said, "Your child is straightforward. Let me tell you clearly, there is a deep meaning behind your empress not wanting you to marry Master Yuan like this."

"What's the deep meaning?" Peiying tilted her head, with a bit of thoughtfulness in her eyes.

Yushan didn't say any more, poured her a glass of water, and said, "You haven't slept well, and your mind is still not clear. Drink a glass of water and go to rest for a while. I will mention your marriage to my wife. If Madam enters the palace to persuade her, there should be a turning point, so you don't have to worry about it."

"No need." Peiying said: "Sister Yushan, don't disturb Madam, I will take care of it."

"Okay, let's sleep for a while." Yushan smiled slightly, whispered, and looked outside: "I have to go to work, Madam just had breakfast and was playing with the young master and the second lady, the child We must be tired from playing."

As she spoke, she hurriedly opened the curtain and left.Peiying had no choice but to lie down on the bed again.Strange to say, after talking with Yushan openly, my mind became somewhat clear.

What is the meaning of Mu Yunge's marriage to Yuan Shiying?Could it be that Mr. Yuan has another love in his heart, and he is just his cover to get close to the imperial power and win the favor of His Majesty and Empress?The empress has always been smart, probably because she has sensed Mr. Yuan's thoughts, so she can protect herself?No... Peiying shook her head again and again, she believed that Mr. Yuan was not that kind of person!

Could it be that there is no marriage at all, and everything is just the empress testing herself and Mr. Yuan?
If this is the case, then my marriage is not without a chance!
When Peiying thought of this, her mood was swept away, and her whole body became excited.After she figured it out, she couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she got up and walked around the room, seeing her crippled face in the bronze mirror, afraid that Yuan Shiying would be worried when she saw her like this when she went down to court, so she hurriedly used Yushan's rouge and water powder Dressed up carefully.

Not long after tidying herself up, the sound of Yuxi's footsteps came from outside the house, she raised the curtain and asked, "Peiying, are you up?"

While speaking, she saw Peiying tidying up Yushan's bed, grabbed her and said with a smile, "Don't worry about these trifles, go, go, your empress has sent someone to call you."

"Who's here?" Peiying was taken aback, she was already familiar with the way out of the palace, how could Mu Yunge send someone to pick her up?

Yuxi smiled and said: "It's the Rui father-in-law who is beside the empress."

When she heard that Eunuch Rui had arrived, Peiying didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly followed Yuxi to the front hall, preparing to return to the palace.As soon as he arrived at the front hall, he saw that Eunuch Rui was escorted by one of Wang Jian's capable men. Eunuch Rui was sitting in the hall, talking with Xiao Shi, without any intention of urging him.

Seeing Peiying enter the door, Eunuch Rui immediately opened his eyes and smiled: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Since the master is here, ma'am, please forgive me for being rude."

"Eunuch, please!" Mrs. Xiao was very polite to him.

When Eunuch Rui walked into the hall, Peiying discovered that there was a roll of bright yellow documents in his book.That is of course an imperial decree. It turned out that Eunuch Rui came to publicize the imperial decree and picked her up by the way.It's just that I don't know what kind of grace His Majesty has given to the Pingguo Mansion this time?Speaking of it, although the eldest young master is still young, if you talk about a baby kiss and the two grow up together, it is much better than directly getting married in the future!

Unexpectedly, Mr. Rui spread out the imperial edict, and then turned to her: "Peiying accepts the edict——"

Peiying was taken aback, a little unbelievable, and Yuxi beside her hurriedly reminded her: "Peiying, kneel down!"

Peiying woke up like a dream, and hurriedly bowed and knelt down, Xiao and others also knelt down, waiting for Eunuch Rui to read the imperial edict.

The imperial decree was drafted eloquently for a long time, and when Eunuch Rui finished reading it out, Peiying was completely dumbfounded.If the etiquette did not allow it, she was afraid that she would offend His Majesty and the Empress. She really wanted to raise her hand at this moment, pinch her thigh hard, and then rub her ears to make sure that she was not dreaming.

What did the decree say just now?
Having said that Peiying's former master has made many contributions, she is specially allowed to return her real name to Wang Yuying, and is given an official residence to work outside the palace.In order to show his favor, His Majesty granted her the title of Five-Rank Sanjun.Not only that, but in the imperial decree, an unknown identity of Peiying was specially emphasized - her mother was once the concubine sister of Lord Sima Liu, the first rank of the court, and the Wang family was once a noble family in Jinling. Literary prison implicated, it fell to this point.

This is undoubtedly exalting her own status. How could Peiying not understand that the so-called concubine sister and the talk of decline are basically excuses. Since she was born, she has never eaten without being hungry!

Although the father at home could read a lot of characters and kept a lot of books, but... a noble family?Thanks to the Empress Dowager who can figure it out?How can there be a noble family in Jinling who eats the last meal but does not finish the next meal!

After receiving the imperial edict, Peiying was a little at a loss.She accepted everyone's congratulations anxiously, and finally followed her father-in-law to see her new mansion at a loss. When she wanted to go back to the palace with her father-in-law, she was rejected verbally: "Your Majesty said, the girl picked you up." From the beginning of the imperial decree, you will be regarded as a person outside the palace, and you don't have to go back to the palace with me."

At this moment, Peiying herself was a little startled: "Did your mother not want me? Did I do something wrong? If it's because of Master Yuan, I will definitely change it!"

"Miss, go at ease." Eunuch Rui smiled inexplicably: "Miss' luck, that is a blessing that no one can ask for."

Saying that, Eunuch Rui shook the whisk in his hand, followed the escorting guards back to the palace, leaving her alone in the mansion.

The housekeeper is used to working with Mu Yunge in the past two years. Peiying didn't panic when she came to the new mansion. After seeing the steward of the yard, she waited in the main hall and met the servants one by one. .I was upset, and when I came out, I didn't expect it to be like this. There was nothing in the tipping money, and I just saw it in a hurry, so let's forget it.

At this moment, the servants at the door passed the message: "Mr. San, Mr. Liu is here."

Peiying was curious whether this Master Liu was really the Master Liu she thought in her heart, so she asked the servants to bring Master Liu over, but she was surprised when they met: "Master Liu! It's really you?"

This Mr. Liu is Liu Fufeng's father. When he saw Peiying, tears welled up in his eyes, and he came forward: "Yuying, I didn't expect that you are my sister's daughter!"

"What's going on?" Peiying was inexplicable: "My lord, it's all right, why are you crying?"

Although she had just received the decree, which clearly stated that she was related to Da Sima's family, but Peiying herself didn't believe it from the bottom of her heart, so how could she think that Master Liu would say such a thing with the first opening of her mouth.

Mr. Liu held her hand, weeping so much that he almost couldn't make a sound.Supporting him behind him was Liu Fufeng, the No. [-] celebrity in Beijing who was about to get married. Seeing this, he quickly helped Master Liu to sit down, sighed, and said to Peiying: "Miss, don't panic. The thing is like this ..."

It turned out that there were three brothers and sisters in Mrs. Liu's family, Mr. Liu and his brothers were all descended from the concubine, and there was only one younger sister who was born from the concubine.This concubine younger sister has a stubborn personality. Back then, she fell in love with the son of a noble family in Jinling. Regardless of the opposition of her family, she married the son without hesitation.At that time, the quarrel was stiff, and after she got married, she never returned to the capital.Later, the family was implicated in the literary inquisition, and the concubine and her husband were also missing.Mr. Liu, brother and sister, have a good relationship. After the younger sister left, she made many inquiries and found out that the concubine sister passed away shortly after giving birth to a child, but the child and brother-in-law have never been seen.They have been looking for it for many years, and after all these years of searching, there is no news from the two of them, so they can only give up.

Unexpectedly, at the foot of the emperor, the girl whom she sees every day is actually her own nephew!

Liu Fufeng talked about the time of Peiying's birth, and some of her father's features, although they didn't match Peiying's memory, but there were too many similarities.

In the end, Liu Fufeng took out the special jade pendant that every woman in the Liu family had. Peiying remembered that she had seen it in her father's hand before, so she really believed that the imperial decree was not in vain.

Immediately, Peiying and Lord Liu burst into tears.One thinks that he is no longer alone, and the other thinks that the younger sister he has been searching for for many years is still alive in time, both are excited and bitter.

Several people finally stopped crying, and Yuan Shiying rushed forward after receiving the order.Before he had time to say a few more words, Yuan Shiying seemed to have eyes behind him, and the second edict followed his footsteps and found Peiying's mansion...
