Chapter 568 A Letter
Grandpa Tu smiled and said, "Since the old man is resting, we will just wait for a while."
“…”
"After all, it was the order of the Lady-in-Chief."
“…”
"When we go back home, we have to give an explanation."
Simuyun immediately smiled and said, "In that case, I'll take my father-in-law over there to see if the old man has woken up."
"Thank you, sir."
Eunuch Tu stood up, bowed to Gu Tingchun, and followed Si Muyun to Xirong Hall.
I just happened to pass by and Tong Yuhua had just woken up.
After washing his face, the old man sat by the window, looking at the spring scenery outside. Although he didn't say a word, his cloudy eyes revealed a quietness and clarity that he rarely had before.
Simuyun walked over with Eunuch Tu.
"grandmother."
Hearing his voice, Tong Yuhua raised her head and saw that two people had already entered the room and walked in front of her.
Tong Yuhua said, "Mu Yun?"
Si Muyun came forward and saluted her.
Tong Yuhua smiled and waved at him, then glanced at Eunuch Tu and said, "Who is this guest?"
Simuyun said, "Grandma, this is the eunuch from the palace, Eunuch Tu."
"In the palace?"
"Yes."
"Why is there someone in the palace?"
Seeing her condition today, she seemed to be more awake than usual, and Si Muyun breathed a sigh of relief. He was originally afraid that she would become confused due to old age and talk nonsense in front of her father-in-law.
At this time, he walked up to her with a smile and said, "You forgot that your granddaughter, my sister Si Nanyan, is in the palace."
“…”
"This eunuch has come with news about her."
"Nan Yan?"
When Tong Yuhua heard the name, she was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Where is she?"
Eunuch Tu stepped forward, bowed to Tong Yuhua, and said, "Old Madam, the female official can't come back to see you right now."
"Oh? Why?"
"Because she is going to be canonized, and she has been preparing in the palace for the past two days."
"Consecration?"
Tong Yuhua looked at them in surprise.
Just at this moment, a servant came in and whispered a few words to Si Muyun's ear.
Because they had already heard the news that Nan Yan was going to be canonized, Si Muyun prepared a gift for her early.
The servant came to report that there was a problem with the number of gifts.
Simuyun said to Eunuch Tu: "I'll be back soon."
Eunuch Tu smiled and said, "Sir, there's no need to be so polite. We're just delivering a few words to the old lady and will be leaving soon. Just go about your business."
"Excuse me."
Si Muyun turned and walked out.
At this time, Tong Yuhua seemed to be a little more sober, and she looked up and down at Eunuch Tu.
In the past, her two sons served as dukes and officials in the court, and she had seen people wearing such official uniforms come to her house to deliver news more than once.
But this time, the news conveyed was not about his son.
But it was news about his granddaughter, Si Nanyan.
She slowly straightened up and said to Eunuch Tu, "Eunuch, you just said that my granddaughter Nan Yan is going to be canonized?"
"Yes. The old lady is very happy."
"Emperor, does that mean she's going to get married?"
Eunuch Tu smiled and said, "Yes."
“…”
"However, she is not marrying an ordinary person, but the current emperor."
“…”
"Old Madam, your granddaughter will be canonized as a noble concubine. In the future, you will be the grandmother of the noble concubine."
“…”
"The Emperor is still discussing whether to confer an imperial decree upon you."
"An imperial edict...?"
When Tong Yuhua heard these two words, a flash of emotion flashed across her face. After a long while, she said softly, "These were all given to me by my granddaughter?"
"Yes, your granddaughter has brought honor to the family."
Tong Yuhua laughed.
His wrinkled eyes narrowed into slits.
She said softly, "I know, I know this girl is not someone with a short life and a short life. I also know that there will definitely be a lucky person who will get her."
As she spoke, she looked up at Eunuch Tu and said, "Your Majesty, do you love my granddaughter?"
Eunuch Tu smiled and said, "Old Madam, it's more than just pain."
“…”
"That's a favor, a favor that everyone loves."
“…”
Eunuch Tu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Everyone in the palace is secretly saying that the emperor is a brave and fierce tiger on the battlefield, but when he meets the court lady, all his tiger energy turns into cat energy."
“…”
"Even if they showed their claws, it was just to tickle the female official."
“…”
"Nothing heavier."
Tong Yuhua listened, nodded, and said, "It's not that you need to be pampered. Two people need to respect and love each other in order to last."
Eunuch Tu smiled and said, "What the old lady said is true."
Tong Yuhua thought for a moment and said, "Can I see my granddaughter today?"
Eunuch Tu said in embarrassment: "This is not possible."
“…”
"If the old lady wants to see her, she can only do so on the eighth day of the first lunar month, during the enthronement ceremony."
Tong Yuhua frowned slightly when she heard this and murmured, "Then it's too late."
Eunuch Tu immediately realized that something was wrong with her.
Although she had not been granted an imperial decree and although this old lady was just an ordinary commoner, she was, after all, the grandmother of Si Nanyan, who was about to be canonized as a noble concubine.
I can't afford to offend you.
So he smiled and said, "Madam, if you have any questions, please feel free to tell us. We will do our best to help you."
Tong Yuhua hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked into the inner room.
She opened a cabinet and took out a sealed letter from the bottom of the cabinet.
This letter was given to her by Si Zhongwen when he was dying, and he also instructed her clearly that it should be given to Nan Yan before she got married.
Because of her illness, she was sometimes lucid and sometimes confused, and she often forgot about this matter.
After finally sobering up a bit today, and with someone able to go to the palace, he took the letter to Eunuch Tu and said, "Eunuch, please make sure to give this letter to Nanyan before she gets married."
“…”
"I'm often sick and often forget."
“…”
"I finally remembered it today, but I can't see her before Nan Yan gets married."
“…”
"Please, sir, take this letter to the palace and personally hand it to my granddaughter."
Eunuch Tu took it seriously, put the letter in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, old lady, I will personally hand this letter to the female official."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left.
After leaving Xirong Hall, he went out and saw that it was getting late, so he hurried out.
However, just as he walked onto a corridor, a maid in front of him suddenly turned a corner and bumped into him.
“Ouch!”
Eunuch Tu was knocked off balance.
The tea in the maid's hand suddenly spilled onto Eunuch Tu.
