Chapter 276 The Queen's Decree
Lord Lerong was afraid of being arrested and put under house arrest, so he jumped off the carriage as soon as it stopped.
Princess Pingning was worried. "Mother, do you think we should spend a lot of money to hire famous teachers for Yujin and Lerong to teach them the principles of saints and the way of dealing with people and things?"
No one can confirm whether your Majesty's words were intentional or not.
Is he dissatisfied with Yu Jin and Le Rong, or with Princess Yongming?
Princess Yongming shook her head and said, "No need."
"The Daqian royal family today is no longer what it once was."
"In peace, I am not afraid of losing my ambition due to playing with things, but I am afraid of losing my ambition due to ambition. As long as I don't commit crimes, it is not wrong to lose my ambition due to playing with things."
"You and I don't expect Yu Jin and Le Rong to achieve much."
"Comparatively speaking, Le Rong's luck is better."
No matter what your Majesty's intention is in exchanging the dragon pattern for Emperor Wencheng's token, you will treat Le Rong well.
Princess Pingning was skeptical.
…
Yongning Marquis Mansion.
"A reward from the Queen?"
"The Queen's Reward!"
Lu Mingchao was confused and Lu Minghui was angry.
"The Queen's decree."
The eunuch who announced the decree had a sharp and loud voice.
"According to the Empress's decree, the adopted daughter of Marquis Yongning, Lu Mingchao, has a virtuous character, is gentle and virtuous, and is well-versed in etiquette. This palace is very pleased to hear of this."
"The Ming Dynasty specially rewarded Lu with 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, 100 pieces of brocade, an ivory screen with a mirage scene, and a pair of lotus-branch headdresses."
After the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, he leaned forward slightly and said, "Ms. Mingchao, please accept the edict."
Lu Mingchao kowtowed and raised his hands above his head, respectfully accepting the imperial edict.
"I bow to thank the Queen for her grace and generosity. May the Queen live a thousand years."
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen a pig run.
Immediately, Lu Ming cast a look towards Liu Yue.
Liu Yue took out a plain purse from her sleeve, bowed and handed it over, "Please accept it, sir."
The eunuch who announced the decree declined, "No, no."
He was the Queen's confidant, so he naturally knew the inside story.
Lu Mingchao said cordially but politely, "Please share in the good fortune, eunuch."
"But disrespectful"
"If you have time in the future, you can go to the palace to pay your respects to the Empress."
The eunuch who announced the imperial decree pinched his purse inconspicuously, smiled deeply, and reminded softly.
“It’s a great honor.”
"Then we will return to the palace to report."
"Father-in-law, please."
In the sunlight, in the courtyard, the ivory screen shines brightly.
"Lu Mingchao, I wonder how long you can be so arrogant!" With the help of the maid, Lu Minghui staggered to her feet.
His face was pale, his head was covered with cold sweat, and air was leaking from his open mouth.
Typical of someone who only remembers eating but not being beaten.
"Minghui!" Marquis Yongning scolded impatiently.
If she moved a little, Lu Minghui would feel a burning pain in her back and buttocks.
Pain can make people learn lessons, but it can also drain their rationality.
"Chao Chao, don't bother with Ming Hui." Marquis Yongning tried to smooth things over.
Lu Mingchao raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, "My Lord, you are joking."
"A summer insect cannot talk about ice, a well frog cannot talk about the sea, and an ordinary person cannot talk about the Tao."
"The morning mushroom does not know the new moon and full moon, and the cicada does not know spring and autumn."
"How long can I be so arrogant? Lu Minghui won't be able to wait for the result."
"So, how could I be on the same level as her?"
Marquis Yongning's heart skipped a beat and his emotions became more complicated.
He quoted scriptures and classics with great pomposity, but in the final analysis, Minghui was not worthy of it.
This is not the most desperate.
The most despairing thing is that Minghui's brainstorming is no match for Lu Mingchao's ability.
When Minghui scolds someone, she either calls him a bitch or a scumbag.
She was as vulgar as a common woman who quarreled with others over a few coins, without any demeanor of a daughter of a noble family.
regret!
I regret it so much!
"Lu Mingchao, you are able to have such a background because you have taken my identity."
Lu Mingchao smiled suddenly, "Miss Lu."
"How come the leak has gotten worse after not seeing you for a night?"
"After all, she is a rich lady, so she should avoid taking detours for decades."
"I wonder when Miss Lu will set off to Chengchan Temple to meditate and pray for blessings?"
"This matter has reached the ears of the Emperor and Empress. The repeated delays show that they are disrespecting the Emperor and Empress, or are they trying to provoke Your Majesty's words."
"Take care of yourself."
"On the wedding day of Prince Gu and Princess Qingyu, I think there will be wedding money and candies scattered along the streets. I don't mind picking up some of the wedding money and candies and sending them to Chengchan Temple so that you can share in the joy."
"Keep this joy to yourself." Lu Minghui gritted her teeth and said, "The villain is successful, let's see who will have the last laugh!"
"Minghui, go back to Lanxiyuan to recuperate." The wife of Marquis Yongning stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Minghui.
Lu Mingchao's long eyelashes trembled, his eyes flickered slightly, and his heart sank.
When she mentioned Gu Huai's wedding, Lu Minghui's expression was filled with rage, with only a few hints of resentment around the edges.
Lu Minghui is no longer obsessed with marrying Gu Huai.
No wonder Marquis Yongning and his wife acted so decisively this time.
Based on her understanding of Lu Minghui, it is definitely not that she has suddenly realized the truth, but it is possible that something more tempting and attractive than Gu Huai has appeared in her life.
Only this is consistent with Lu Minghui's stupid, vicious and stubborn character.
So, what is it?
Lu Mingchao looked at the backs of the wife of Marquis Yongning and Lu Minghui with a deep gaze, and it was hard not to think too much.
"Chao Chao."
Marquis Yongning, who stayed where he was, wanted to say something about repairing the relationship, but as soon as he opened his mouth it was like wet cotton stuck in his throat, sticky, suffocating and bitter.
Marquis Yongning was confused and panicked.
Chao Chao was clearly the daughter he was most proud of.
Why has it come to this that we are speechless and have nothing to say to each other?
"Chao Chao, take good care of your baby and treat the mansion as your home."
Before he could finish his words, Marquis Yongning fled in panic.
"Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Lu Ming Dynasty!" The unique and coquettish voice of County Lord Le Rong appeared behind him.
"Hey, the reward from the palace came so quickly?"
County Lord Lerong stroked his smooth chin, walked around the ivory screen again and again, and exclaimed in amazement, "Gold, silver, brocade and silk are not rare, but this ivory screen with a mirage is rare."
Lu Mingchao looked up and said, "The Daqian royal family should not be short of ivory screens, right?"
"Yes, there is a shortage." Mayor Lerong nodded.
“But the ivory mirage screen is different.”
"This ivory screen was a private collection of Empress Dowager Xie in Changning Palace. How could it be given by the Empress?"
Lu Mingchao's heart trembled.
Empress Dowager Xie of Changning Palace.
A Yan's aunt.
She did not dare to underestimate Empress Dowager Xie, who had controlled the harem for decades.
Crown Princess.
queen.
queen mother.
If a resume like this were placed there, even the personnel of the leading companies in the future would be scared!
"Perhaps the Queen asked Queen Mother Xie's opinion before giving the gift."
Lord Lerong nodded seriously.
"It's possible."
"Your Majesty respects Queen Mother Xie. Although the Queen is the head of the harem, the Queen always asks Queen Mother Xie for advice before making any decision, big or small, to show that the Emperor and Queen are of one mind."
“The ivory carved mirage screen is an old item.”
"It is said that it was given to Empress Dowager Xie by Emperor Wencheng."
"Lu Mingchao, keep it well, maybe it will be of great use in the future."
Lord Lerong of the county remembered his confiscated token and said something unintentionally.
