She knew that when there was nothing to do during the day, Situ Yao was usually in the imperial study handling state affairs, so she would definitely find him there.
Sure enough, when Xu Chuchu arrived at the door of the imperial study, she saw a young eunuch guarding outside. With a slight smile, Xu Chuchu appeared in front of the eunuch with an amiable look: "Eunuch, is the emperor in there now?"
The young eunuch was not very familiar with the concubines in the harem, and at this moment he didn't know who the person in front of him was.
However, he also knew that since she was a concubine in the harem, he naturally could not afford to offend her. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is in there handling official business."
As expected, Xu Chuchu smiled slightly, she knew that coming here would definitely not be a mistake.
He immediately said to the eunuch, "Please tell them that Xu Da Ying wants to see you."
Xu Chuchu has always been polite and sensible. Even if she wanted to see the emperor, she knew that he was handling official business and could not be disturbed casually. So she thought that she had to get the eunuch to report to her before going in.
Of course, another purpose for her doing this was to let the emperor see how sensible she was and how well she knew the rules.
The young eunuch turned around and went into the imperial study and reported the matter to Situ Yao. Situ Yao frowned immediately because he didn't know Xu Chuchu very well.
So now he didn't know why Xu Chuchu came to see him.
"Let her in." After thinking about it, Situ Yao said so.
After receiving the order, the eunuch went out immediately. After a while, he saw a woman walking in with a food box.
Situ Yao looked up. At this moment, Xu Chuchu knew that Situ Yao was watching her every step very seriously, as if he was showing off.
However, she didn't know that her pretentious attitude was very awkward in Situ Yao's eyes.
"Your Majesty, I thought you were overworked recently, so I took the initiative to cook you a bowl of nourishing soup. I hope Your Majesty doesn't mind." Xu Chuchu came to Situ Yao, bowed to him, and then spoke.
At this time, Situ Yao was reviewing memorials. After hearing this, he put down the memorial in his hand and moved his eyes to the food box in Xu Chuchu's hand.
Seeing this, Xu Chuchu hurriedly put the food box on the table and took out the soup.
As for the soup, Situ Yao took a look and saw that it was just an ordinary soup. But it was nothing, at least it was Xu Chuchu's thoughtfulness. Thinking of this, Situ Yao drank up all the soup.
His action made Xu Chuchu's heart move. As expected, as long as she took the initiative, the emperor would not refuse her kindness. She immediately stood behind Situ Yao and gently massaged his shoulders.
"Your Majesty handles government affairs every day. I think your shoulders must be uncomfortable sitting like this. I will give you a massage." Xu Chuchu looked understanding.
Situ Yao didn't know what her purpose was today, but as Xu Chuchu massaged him, he felt his sore shoulders gradually relax.
So he did not reject Xu Chuchu's kindness. After all, she was just a woman who wanted to please him.
Seeing that although Situ Yao didn't say anything, he didn't refuse her either, Xu Chuchu quietly looked at Situ Yao's expression and found that he looked like he was enjoying it.
At that moment, she felt a little excited, her actions were indeed effective.
However, if it is just like this, it is obviously not enough to achieve one's goal. Thinking of this, Xu Chuchu said, "Your Majesty, I heard a joke recently. Why don't you tell it to Your Majesty?"
As if feeling that it was not good to let Xu Chuchu talk to herself all the time, Situ Yao took over and said, "Oh? Really? Then tell me what you have to say."
With Situ Yao's response, Xu Chuchu worked even harder. She massaged Situ Yao's shoulders vigorously with both hands, thinking about the jokes she had heard recently.
After she finished telling her joke, Situ Yao didn't find it funny at all.
At this point, he felt the massage was almost done, so he asked, "Well, what brings you here today?"
Xu Chuchu didn't expect Situ Yao to be so straightforward. Thinking of her purpose, a suspicious blush appeared on Xu Chuchu's face.
Then she thought that she was already his woman, so it was not excessive to make this request.
After figuring it out, Xu Chuchu blushed, not daring to look at Situ Yao, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for a long time. When will Your Majesty visit me?"
Such directness and boldness caught Situ Yao off guard.
Seeing Situ Yao was a little surprised, Xu Chuchu's face turned even redder. She was a lady from a wealthy family, and it was the first time she invited a man to her place.
But thinking of Fu Liu's favor, she gritted her teeth, raised her head and looked at Situ Yao with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty, I want you."
There was a hint of joking in her tone, but Situ Yao knew that she was not joking at all and was sincere.
"You go back first, I have something else to do." Situ Yao picked up the memorial and stopped looking at Xu Chuchu.
Xu Chuchu wanted to say something, but looking at Situ Yao's expression, all she wanted to say was stuck in her heart, and she remained silent.
It took a lot of courage for her to say these words, but being treated like this by Situ Yao, all her courage disappeared in an instant.
She returned to her palace in a daze, but what she didn't expect was that soon after she came back, she received an imperial edict conferring her the title of noble lady.
When this news reached the Xu family, the Minister of Rites was very excited. His daughter had finally been promoted. He immediately began to discuss with Madam Xu and asked Madam Xu to go to the palace to visit his daughter.
Mrs. Xu was also very excited when she thought of her daughter. When the Minister of Rites told her about this, she immediately agreed.
A carriage set out from the Minister of Rites' residence and slowly arrived at the palace gate.
Madam Xu stuck her head out of the carriage and looked at the high palace walls. She felt a little excited and was even happier at the thought that she would be able to see her daughter soon.
The carriage slowly drove into the palace from the palace gate. Carriages were not allowed to enter the harem, so Madam Xu got off the carriage at the harem gate and got on the sedan chair specially prepared for concubines, wives and others.
"Your Majesty, your Madam is here to see you." The palace maid's voice sounded, and Xu Chuchu immediately looked outside. She must have heard it right, it was her mother who came to see her.
After a while, she saw her mother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, appear at the door.
"Mother." Xu Chuchu called out to her mother before her mother could speak.
Even though he is now a noble, the person in front of him is his mother, and Xu Chuchu is still unwilling to let his mother bow and greet him.
