Chapter 479 My Heart is on You
Yuxiu Palace.
Si Linglong was also a little confused when looking at the imperial edict in Futai's hand.
Not long after they finished their meal, Fu Tai came to report that Marquis Wu'an had come to the palace to ask for an audience, so Helian Yue left first.
Si Linglong was finally relieved that she no longer had to keep the words in her heart to herself.
Fu Tai came back with the imperial edict.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the noble concubine Si was born beautiful, graceful, elegant, and gentle... She is the one I care about, and is promoted to be the Lady of Lang Zhaoyi, and the head of Yuxiu Palace."
Si Linglong listened to the praises at the beginning of the imperial edict. She could understand some of it, but not some of it. Some of it seemed to have nothing to do with her. She couldn't help but wonder if this imperial edict had a fixed template.
Then she heard Fu Tai urging her to accept the order with a smile, and Si Linglong accepted it.
"I accept your order. Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Shu Hong helped him stand up, and he couldn't help asking Fu Tai,
"It takes more than half an hour to go back and forth between Yushufang and Yuxiu Palace. It must be hard for you to run back and forth."
Si Linglong was sure that this imperial edict was another means for A Yue to coax people. Taking into account the time Fu Tai would take to go back and forth, he would have to draft the imperial edict right away as soon as he returned to Yu's study and then send it over.
[It’s also very hard work. ]
Si Linglong sighed silently.
When Fu Tai heard her say this, he just smiled and said it was not hard. Thinking of the obvious awkwardness between the Emperor and Zhao Yi this morning, he deliberately added,
"The Emperor had someone draft this imperial edict yesterday, but it's in Yu's study. I have no choice but to go back. The Emperor was afraid that Your Majesty would think he didn't take it seriously, so he told me not to delay for a moment."
Then he pointed to the tray in the hand of the palace servant next to him and said, "As for these rewards, they were all prepared in advance yesterday. Many of them were selected by the emperor himself. The emperor really cares about the queen."
Si Linglong's mind was slightly moved, and she was obviously a little surprised. She thought he was just making up for it afterwards...
There is a difference between preparing some things for her right from the beginning and compensating her afterwards.
Even though she knew that Ah Yue was sincere to her now, her heart couldn't help but flutter.
Taking advantage of the fact that Helian Yue was not around at the moment and he couldn't hear her heartbeats, he let the deer bump into him again.
Trying not to let others see the joy in her heart, Si Linglong kept a pretty face and remained calm as before, "Okay, got it."
Don't show it too obviously, or someone will become proud.
Fu Tai was really frightened by Si Linglong's reaction, and subconsciously glanced at Shu Hong beside him.
Shu Hong had seen the affection between her own Zhaoyi and the emperor all along, so she naturally didn't want to see the two of them quarreling. She heard that Fu Tai was obviously speaking for the emperor, so she stepped forward and said,
"It's really impossible to prepare all these things in a short time. I think the emperor must have arranged the layout of Yuxiu Palace and these rewards long ago."
Si Linglong's heart softened when she heard this. She thought of the bathing pool connected to the side hall and the exquisite furnishings in Yuxiu Palace. She had never thought about it carefully before and thought it was an arrangement made by A Yue after he returned to the palace a day earlier than her. Now she thought that it should have been ordered even earlier.
In other words, A Yue had prepared all this for her while they were still on the road.
Even though she was pretending to be nice, Fu Tai could clearly see the emotion in her eyes and he smiled and winked at Shu Hong.
Shu Hong lowered her eyes and said nothing, hiding her achievements and fame.
Si Linglong was coaxed again. She accepted the things and sent the person away. Then she went back to bed and lay down again with the help of Shuhong and Qinglu.
The soreness in her body had not disappeared yet. After the attack in the morning, Si Linglong was still tired.
Thinking of the imperial edict just issued, she could not remember the other parts, but she remembered the sentence "What my heart is attached to". She could not help but keep these words in her heart, and recited them carefully several times. A smile could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth.
The next second, she immediately stopped smiling and shook her head to keep herself clear-headed.
[I have prepared so much just to get a permanent job. This has clearly been planned for a long time. Why am I so happy! ]
Brother Ba said that girls should not be too easy to please.
