Chapter 1140 Entering Beijing

Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu didn't bother to be polite with Chen Xuan and settled down in the Chen family with peace of mind.

The two knew that the most important thing for them to do when they came to Beijing was to go to the palace to express their gratitude.

But after the two of them handed the sign to the palace, there has been no news since then.

Ye Beixiu was a little anxious, but Zhang Juexia was not.

She took Ye Ben for a walk around the capital first, and then they ate and drank.

The news that Chen Xuan spread in the palace was that the emperor had been unwell for the past two days.

When he said this, Zhang Juexia thought of Liu Mingda again, "We were careless too. We forgot to look for Uncle Liu when we arrived in Beijing."

Ye Beixiu told Zhang Juexia, "Uncle Liu is not in the capital. He left the capital before we came here."

"So where did he go?"

"Uncle Liu didn't say anything, he just said that we'll go wherever we want.

I guess Uncle Liu doesn't want everyone to know where he's going."

Zhang Juexia thought about it and said, "That's right. Given Uncle Liu's personality, he wouldn't be able to stand being around the Emperor in the capital."

Chen Xuan coughed dryly, "It's just that the emperor attends court every day, which shows that there is nothing wrong with his health.

I found a way to get someone to pass on a message to the Empress, hoping to get her to remind the Emperor."

Zhang Juexia asked Chen Xuan doubtfully, "Will the Queen help?"

Chen Xuan quickly explained, "I heard from the old people in the palace that the Queen has always been grateful to you and your brother-in-law for saving the Emperor's life.

Oh, I forgot to tell you, the Emperor and the Empress are a young couple and they have a very good relationship."

Zhang Juexia fell into deep thought, "Brother Xuan, let me ask you something. You said the emperor won't see us, can we still visit him?"

"It's best not to visit. Wait until the emperor receives you, then you can visit him again!"

Ye Beixiu thought Zhang Juexia didn't want to stay in the capital, "My lady, please wait a little longer!

Brother Xuan is right, the Queen is indeed virtuous. I guess the Emperor will see us soon.

Once the Emperor sees us, we will leave the capital."

"No, I still have a lot of things to do!

You haven't been to Yingyue's place yet, and I haven't been to Prime Minister Shen's house either!"

Everyone can understand why Zhang Juexia went to see Li Yingyue.

But what was Zhang Juexia doing in Prime Minister Shen's house?

Zhang Juexia explained, "I met the Prime Minister because of Old Madam Shen.

When I came out of Qingfeng City, Old Madam Shen met me and told me that if I came to the capital, I should go to the Shen Mansion and help her look after her son.

If nothing else, as long as her son can eat and sleep on time and be in good health, she will be relieved."

"Since the old lady has asked me to do so, I have to go and take a look."

Zhang Juexia looked at Chen Xuan, "Brother Xuan, we don't have anything to do right now, how about I accompany you to buy things for your wedding?

This is also what my godmother asked me to do."

Chen Xuan touched his nose embarrassedly, "Sister, we were clearly talking about something else, but you insisted on dragging me into this."

"Just tell me whether you're going or not?

Let me tell you, before I came here, I went to the Li residence and asked Li Yingrou about her preferences."

"real?"

Zhang Juexia used her murderous eyes to tell Chen Xuan that she would not lie.

Chen Xuan said with a smile, "I knew my sister loved me the most."

"Then let me ask you, are you going?"

"Go, go, of course I'll go."

Zhang Juexia and Chen Xuan were busy for two days. On the third day, when she and Ye Beixiu were considering whether to go out again, someone came from the palace.

The person who came was their old acquaintance, Eunuch Xu. Eunuch Xu said in a businesslike manner, "Lord Ye, Madam Ye, please accept the order!"

After Eunuch Xu finished his announcement, he looked at Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu with a smile, "Madam Ye, Lord Ye, please follow me!"

Zhang Juexia stepped forward and bowed to Eunuch Xu. "Eunuch Xu, how are you?"

Eunuch Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with red eyes, "Thank you Madam Ye for your concern. I am doing very well."

"That'll do."

Eunuch Xu told Zhang Juexia, "The emperor had some free time today, and he thought of you and your wife.

Also, after they enter the palace, the Queen will go to the Emperor's palace to talk to you.

Madam Ye, don't be too nervous. When I came to announce the decree, the Emperor said, "Just treat it as a meeting between acquaintances."

"I know, I know. Thank you, Eunuch Xu, for your advice."

Zhang Juexia took out a purse from his pocket as if by magic and stuffed it into Eunuch Xu's hand.

Eunuch Xu refused, and Zhang Juexia told him, "Eunuch Xu, I know you are not short of money, so the amount of money you give as a filial gift is small.

I'll give you a VIP card. When I open a restaurant in Beijing one day, you can use this card to eat for free."

"Okay, okay. I hope Madam Ye's shop can be opened in the capital soon."

“Almost.”

When Eunuch Xu led them to the palace gate, Zhang Juexia began to be unable to see enough.

Eunuch Xu kindly reminded Zhang Juexia again, "Madam Ye, it's best to be more restrained in this palace."

"I understand. I understand."

"You and Lord Ye wait here. I will go in and make the announcement."

Soon Eunuch Xu came out, "My Lord, Madam, please come in!"

While outside, Chen Xuan had found a nanny who specialized in teaching etiquette to teach them etiquette.

Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu knelt respectfully and performed the ceremony according to etiquette.

Zhou Chengyao, sitting on the dragon throne, was extremely satisfied. "My two beloved ministers, please stand up!"

After Zhang Juexia and Ye Beixiu stood up, Ye Beixiu knelt down again and respectfully stated the reason for his visit to Beijing.

Zhang Juexia added a few more words.

Zhou Chengyao laughed heartily after hearing what they said, "Good, good! I'm grateful."

Then, he looked at Zhang Juexia, "Cousin, what do you think of this cousin of mine?"

Zhang Juexia had not expected that she would be called out by name, and she quickly knelt down again, "Your Highness has overstepped your bounds."

“Madam Ye, although this is the palace, there are no outsiders.

I actually like your boldness in speaking and hating when you were in Qingfeng City."

"Then I tell the truth, my cousin is very good."

"Okay, come here, give Madam Ye one hundred taels of gold, a house, and a farm."

"this?"

Zhang Juexia was shocked by his wealthy cousin. He was too generous!

Ye Beixiu pushed her and reminded her to thank him.

The two of them knelt down together again. She had always complained about this kind of etiquette.

I got so many things this time that I don’t have time to complain.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I am your cousin, and you are my cousin. It is only natural for a cousin to give something to his cousin.

Let’s not keep thanking each other.

It was originally agreed that the Queen would come to see you today.

But she has other things to do today, so she can't come over."

After Zhou Chengyao said this, his expression was slightly bitter, and then he waved his hand and asked them to stand up.

"Lord Ye, if you have nothing else to do today, please go back first!"
