Does it mean that Tu Qingyu will be conferred the title of Zhaoyi?
Zhaoyi? The head of the nine concubines in the palace?
What else, the daughter of destiny, protecting the country and the people?
An abandoned woman who was divorced for having no children was actually praised by the emperor as the daughter of destiny, and was said to be the one who would protect the country if she was married into the palace?
Are they confused and have misheard, or is it His Majesty who is confused?
Even Ding Yucheng, Meng Tian and Tong Yueyi, who had just heard that Tu Qingyu was proposed to by Qian Leshan and came to watch the fun, were stunned.
How did she become Zhaoyi?
How did she catch the emperor's eye?
Lu Bao smiled and reminded Tu Qingyu, who was still standing there at a loss, "Empress Zhaoyi, please accept the decree quickly."
"I accept the decree." She then raised her hand to take the imperial edict. When she took the decree, the nanny brought by Lu Bao stepped forward and supported her very considerately.
Lu Bao was very polite to the beautiful empress, "My empress, you are the head of the nine concubines. Logically, you can bring some dowry and two personal maids into the palace. The sedan chair will pick you up in five days. You should make your preparations in these five days."
After he finished speaking, he did not forget to look at Tu Qingyu's expression. He saw that the beautiful woman in front of him did not have the fear of being suddenly promoted to a concubine or the joy of rising to fame overnight. Instead, she just held the imperial edict with a playful look on her face.
She even dared to ask him, "Sir, may I ask why this happened? Your Majesty, do you know that I was once a married woman, and was divorced because I had no children for many years?"
"Your Highness is too polite. You can just call me Eunuch Lu." Lu Bao bowed slightly. "Even this old servant doesn't know. I think it's the same as what's written in the imperial edict. Your Highness can tell at a glance that she is a person of great fortune."
"Your Majesty is naturally aware of your Majesty's past. Don't worry, Your Majesty is concerned about you."
After saying that, he glanced at Qian Leshan who was kneeling next to him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Hey~ What are you doing?"
Qian Leshan was so scared that he knelt there and trembled.
How could he dare to say at this moment that he was here to propose marriage? To compete with the emperor for a woman, isn't that like an old man hanging himself?
He didn't even dare to raise his head, his mind racing, "I dreamed yesterday that Madam Tu was getting married today, so I brought gifts to congratulate her."
"Really?" Tu Qingyu didn't criticize him. He smiled and glanced at the betrothal gifts draped with red silk. "Since it's a gift for congratulations, I will accept it with reluctance. Thank you..."
"By the way, I haven't asked this kind-hearted person yet, what's your name?"
Qian Leshan's heart was bleeding. He came here today with the goal of getting the job done in one go, so the gifts he brought were very generous.
It was also because Tu Qingyu was so beautiful that he was afraid of her, so he brought out all kinds of rare treasures from the warehouse.
He also thought that Tu Qingyu was an orphan, and no matter how generous the gift was, she would still return to the Qian family in the future.
Now the proposal of marriage has turned into a gift-giving one, which is like a heartbreak for a stingy man like him.
But no matter how heartbroken he was, he could only reply respectfully, "Your Majesty, my surname is Qian."
"Oh~ So your last name is Qian. Are you from the same family as Madam Qian from the Hanlin Academy?" Her voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it.
Mrs. Qian, who had followed quietly, had just stood up when her legs became weak and she almost fell to her knees.
She didn't dare move forward, so she could only keep lowering her body, fearing that she would be discovered.
"Your Highness, yes, we are of the same clan." Qian Leshan revealed her without hesitation. "To be honest, I didn't dare to come today, but she persuaded me, saying that you were very happy, and if I could find a good relationship today, it would be a great joy."
Mrs. Qian, who was standing at the back, cursed in her heart, but she didn't dare to go out at all. She could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.
Tu Qingyu looked as if he had suddenly understood something. "I see. Thank you very much, both of you. I, Tu Qingyu, will remember this favor."
Anyone present with a decent brain could understand what they were saying.
Even Eunuch Lu, who came later to announce the decree, understood it.
He once again praised Tu Qingyu's unrestrained and calmness in his heart, but he didn't know whether he could maintain this unrestrained attitude after entering the palace.
"It's getting late. I should return to the palace." He turned slightly, and several maids came out from behind him. "These are the maids that His Majesty has assigned to Your Majesty. They will teach you the etiquette of the palace. From now on, you will all follow Your Majesty. I will take my leave."
Xiaoqing behind him tactfully took out a bulging purse and handed it to Tu Qingyu, who then handed it to Lu Bao.
"Time is short, I hope you won't mind."
"I can't do this. How can a servant like you ask for your Majesty's help..."
"Take it, father-in-law. You've made such a long journey."
She acted calmly and generously, and was not at all overwhelmed by the sudden incident.
Those who originally came to see her lively were impressed by her calmness and fearlessness in the face of danger.
After Lu Bao and his men left, Qian Leshan suddenly collapsed and sat down.
It's such a slap in the face. This is such a slap in the face.
He originally came to propose marriage with the determination to win her heart, but in the blink of an eye, she became the empress in the palace, and the betrothal gift he brought became a gift for congratulations.
People have been offended by them. Is there anything more embarrassing than this in the world?
It really does exist.
Another person who felt pain on his face was Ding Yucheng, who was standing behind and watching the fun.
As soon as he heard that Qian Leshan was coming to propose marriage, he rushed over on purpose. On the way, he met Meng Tian and Tong Yueyi who were also there to watch the fun.
He knew Tu Qingyu too well. No matter how ruthless she was in the past or how ruthless she had become recently, it was impossible for her to agree to Qian Leshan.
This is also his confidence. After all, she had married a handsome man like him, so how could she agree to marry a fat man like Qian Leshan who has a lot of fat and no strengths?
He waited for Tu Qingyu to refuse, then went up to ridicule him, and then made his last proposal again.
Let Tu Qingyu be his mistress or concubine.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a virtuous wife and beautiful concubines by his side?
Who would have thought that as soon as I arrived, I heard Eunuch Lu reading the imperial edict.
But in an instant, the abandoned woman who was originally abandoned and intended to be ridiculed by him became the high and mighty Empress Zhaoyi.
The imperial edict also said that she was blessed with great fortune, a daughter of destiny, and could even be beneficial to the country.
What is he then? A joke?
In addition to embarrassment, there was also a hint of heartache in his heart.
Now that she has become the empress, will I never see her again?
Looking up, the absolutely beautiful woman was smiling faintly at the people who were congratulating her, and the people from the Tu Mansion were carrying the things that Qian Leshan had brought into the mansion in an orderly manner.
After carrying all the things, she slowly walked into the mansion. The moment the door closed, he always felt that he had lost something very important.
He touched his chest and his eyes gradually dimmed. Tong Yueyi felt a little unhappy when she saw this.
She walked over and asked, "Yulang, what's wrong with you?"
“No…” He looked over, his pupils slightly dilated, and he was shocked. “Your face?!”
