Chapter 56 I just hope the Deng family won’t be implicated
In fact, Li Tianzhuo himself had also thought about what the Queen Mother said.
But he was not sure about Deng Youning's intentions.
Besides, what they both wanted to do at this time has not been completed yet.
I don’t even know whether I can come back alive. If we are really in love, I’m afraid I will miss the beauty.
"Grandma just doesn't want you, the younger generation, to miss out on the one you truly love like I did back then!"
The Queen Mother also lamented the past.
"If I hadn't been unable to see clearly what my heart desired, I would have been living in seclusion in the rain forest now."
When talking about the person she loved back then, the empress dowager suddenly looked at Li Tianzhuo, staring at his face for a long time.
Coincidentally, the child looks extremely similar to her lover.
The eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same!
Their hair is somewhat naturally curly.
*
Half an hour later.
The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
"My Lord, something bad has happened. Someone has come from the palace. It's Eunuch Fu who serves the Emperor."
"A lot of people came, and it was huge!"
The housekeeper came hurriedly to report that Eunuch Fu and others were now at the gate of the Deng family.
Deng Zheng's face changed when he heard this.
"But what did you say you were here for?"
The housekeeper was unsure, "I just thought it was a great joyous event."
Gu raised an eyebrow, "Happy event?"
Soon, she figured it out, and said to Deng Zheng with a smile: "He must be here to arrange a marriage between our Lian'er and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
After the bear-watching banquet, Deng Xuelian discussed with the Deng family that she could only be the prince's concubine for the time being.
Although Deng Zheng disagreed and did not want his precious daughter to be humiliated, Gu thought it was feasible.
After all, the prince will definitely ascend the throne, and even if she cannot become the queen by then, she will be a favorite concubine.
What's more, didn't the prince also say that sooner or later he would make Lian'er his legal wife?
"Madam, I see that Eunuch Fu has a serious face, so I'm afraid he is not here to grant me a marriage."
"Maybe he said he was happy just to deceive me."
After much hesitation, the loyal butler finally expressed his guess.
The couple exchanged glances.
No matter what, we have to go and greet them first.
At the door, everyone was shocked by the scene presented by Eunuch Fu and his gang.
Eunuch Fu brought a few young eunuchs and stood at the front. One of the eunuchs held the imperial edict in his hand.
Behind them were the Silver Dragon Guards, carrying a few large boxes. I don’t know what was inside, but they did look very serious.
Deng Zheng greeted him with a smile and exchanged a few words with Eunuch Fu.
"You don't have to be so polite, Duke. I'm in a hurry and have to go back to the palace to report."
"You should quickly call the second young lady from the mansion to receive the order."
Eunuch Fu has been with the emperor since he was a child. Over the past thirty or forty years, he has developed an eye for identifying people.
Even if the emperor couldn't see what the ministers in the court were like, he knew it very well.
He has no good feelings towards Deng Zheng, this smiling paper tiger.
"This decree was actually issued to Deng Youning?!"
Gu was almost scared to death.
I heard a long time ago that she went to the outskirts of Beijing and didn't go home for two days. I'm afraid she got into trouble outside. Even the emperor knows about it, and he wants to arrest her and punish her!
Deng Zheng had no choice but to ask the butler to call for help.
The emperor killed the evil cult witch, who was so vicious by nature, which was considered as ridding the people of harm.
I just hope her mistake won’t implicate the Deng family!
Deng Youning, who knew about this, was also very curious.
What decree could the emperor give her?
However, if something really happened, she would not be afraid!
When he saw Deng Youning coming, Eunuch Fu's eyes suddenly brightened up and he finally stopped having a stern face.
This was the first time he met Deng Youning.
Rumor has it that she looks like a monster, but today he saw that the little girl was exceptionally pretty.
She was wearing a simple and elegant dress that was at peace with the world, and walked slowly towards me, like a graceful fairy.
No wonder Lord Li’s iron tree can bloom!
"Second Miss Deng, please accept my order!"
Deng Youning stepped forward and bowed slightly to Eunuch Fu, "Thank you, Eunuch."
After everyone in the Deng family had knelt, Eunuch Fu read out the imperial edict.
When he read out the title of Princess of Youning for Deng Youning, everyone in the Deng family was stunned, and even the people present found it unbelievable.
When he read that the emperor had also rewarded countless gold and silver treasures, the Silver Dragon Guards also opened the boxes, revealing the yellow and white jewels inside.
The boxes of things sparkled in the sunlight.
It’s almost blinding Gu and Deng Zheng’s eyes!
"Congratulations, County Master Youning!"
After the imperial edict was read, Eunuch Fu and Deng Youning expressed their congratulations.
Deng Youning had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
It must have been Li Tianzhuo who told the emperor about the matter of Niujia Village, and I'm afraid he also asked for the position of county lord on his behalf.
Although she had little contact with the royal family in her two lives, she had heard a little that this emperor was probably more suspicious than herself.
I wonder if being the county lord today is a blessing or a curse?
After Eunuch Fu announced the decree, he turned around and left.
Deng Youning chased after him and took out a stack of silver bills from his arms.
"Father-in-law has worked hard. I don't know what you like, so I can only express my gratitude."
"When I have the chance, I will find something rare and give it to you, my father-in-law."
As she spoke, she handed the banknote to Eunuch Fu.
Eunuch Fu smiled with satisfaction.
This child is really sensible!
He didn't want to accept it, but he knew he wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't accept Deng Youning.
Well, I'll just return these things to Lord Li when I see him.
"Thank you, County Lady. We are just following orders. You can keep these things for yourself in the future."
Like a kind younger generation, he patted Deng Youning's hand and taught her earnestly.
As both are ordinary people who have climbed to high positions through their own efforts, Eunuch Fu and Li Tianzhuo have a kind of mutual admiration and friendship.
During the first two years that Li Tianzhuo worked for the emperor, Eunuch Fu took good care of him.
Perhaps it was because he loved Deng Youning so much that when he met her today, he also treated her as his own junior.
"Go slowly, father-in-law."
Deng Youning shouted farewell to their convoy.
She could also see that this father-in-law was a kind man!
Turning back home, she found that Gu and Deng Zheng were standing in front of her boxes of jewellery, their eyes full of desire and their smiles full of greed.
"Father, Mother, I'm going to send someone to take these things away. Please move aside."
She told them bluntly in a cold voice.
Deng Zheng's expression changed instantly, and he said unhappily:
"You Ning, although these are rewards for you, you are a member of the Duke's Mansion after all. Your father will keep these things for you first, and will give them to you when you need them in the future."
The same went for Mrs. Gu, who naturally thought that these things were hers.
"Father is busy with official duties, so don't worry about such a small matter. I risked my life yesterday, so I have the ability to take care of it myself."
Deng Youning didn't want to waste time talking to them, so she asked Ying Shi to call someone.
There were four boxes in total, and several servants were already waiting on the side to carry them away.
Gu and Deng Zheng refused to move away and looked at those things unwillingly.
One box of gold, one box of silver, one box of jewelry, and another box contained the county lady's dress and hair crown.
This has to be posted!
Deng Youning released a snake that coiled around his neck and stared at the Deng couple with cold eyes.
Seeing the poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, they were forced to move away.
Looking at Deng Youning's triumphant back as she left, the two cursed in their hearts.
Gu couldn't even hold back and cursed out loud.
Deng Youning had these things carried to Fushou Hall.
Han Qiongyue also heard some of the noise outside, but when she wanted to go over, Eunuch Fu had already left.
"Grandma, we'll each take half of these!"
After getting the good stuff, Deng Youning did not forget to share it with Han Qiongyue.
Several people in the yard burst into laughter.
Han Qiongyue shook her head and scolded with a smile, "Silly child, you really think about me all the time."
