Seeing that everyone's emotions had calmed down and they were smiling, Yan Liangchou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Until then, Zhang Baigui, who had been hiding in the crowd, came forward with his followers, and shouted: "The imperial edict has arrived!"
Zhang Baigui was the Censor of the Northern Tour and a person who was favored by the emperor. He asked someone to invite Tang Shiyue out and read the imperial edict in public.
Then they dragged County Magistrate Qin over and started beating him with a stick in front of everyone.
Yan Liangchou stood at the back, trying to remain calm, his palms covered in cold sweat.
It was too dangerous, too dangerous! Fortunately, he managed to make it right at the last moment, otherwise, the emperor would have been furious!
After the beating, Zhang Baigui announced the emperor's oral order, asking Yan Liangchou and Yan Tingyue to apologize to Tang Shiyue in public.
This Yan Tingyue was of course fake, it was impossible for her to cooperate like this. In the middle of the night, she kept covering her face and crying. As long as the torch was not shining on her face, no one could recognize her.
Zhang Baigui knew the seriousness of the matter and of course would not point it out.
They both bowed to her.
...
...
Tang Shiyue dodged and refused the gift, saying loudly, "No need to apologize. Your Majesty is wise and kind. Lord Zhang came quickly. I didn't suffer any injustice and was able to prove my innocence. I am only grateful in my heart."
Zhang Baigui nodded slowly, thinking that this guy was someone who could talk.
But she changed the subject: "I would like to take this opportunity to say something. I wonder if Lord Zhang would allow it?"
Zhang Baigui's heart sank, fearing that she would be unwilling to accept this and would use this opportunity to have a tantrum.
But she is the Queen Mother of Qinzhou, and on this occasion tonight, he cannot help but ask her to speak.
He could only say: "The emperor has repeatedly told me to take care of the county lady! If the county lady has anything to say, just tell her."
Tang Shiyue bowed: "Don't worry, sir, I understand."
She turned around and smiled, facing everyone, "Everyone, now in Qinzhou, someone helps me weave clothes, someone helps me plant fruit trees, someone helps me farm, someone helps me build a workshop... I have so many young men, young ladies, older men, older ladies around me, coming and going, but I am actually engaged. My fiancé's surname is Huo, and I will get married when I grow up... I am saying this today for one reason, that in the future, those young men's wives and young ladies' husbands, please don't come looking for me, it really has nothing to do with me."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Zhang Baigui raised his eyebrows slightly.
This remark seemed casual and humorous, but it was Gai Guan's final conclusion. Following the path laid by Yan Liangchou, this matter was characterized as "jealousy". This result was much better than expected.
Moreover, she was not harmed at all.
This is really a smart man! Zhang Baigui was relieved and quickly arranged for people to send Yan Liangchou and the other two away. Tang Shiyue comforted the people a few more times, and the people obediently dispersed.
Zhang Baigui asked politely, "Do you want me to send someone to take the county lady back?"
"No need," Tang Shiyue said, "Your Excellency has been traveling hard, please rest early."
Zhang Baigui added: "I will stay here temporarily. If the county lord needs anything, please send someone to come."
Tang Shiyue nodded, and Zhang Baigui asked tentatively: "Do you think we need to try to appease the people?"
Tang Shiyue looked at him and smiled: "If Sir Zhang is free, Dongfeng County still has many beautiful mountains and rivers."
Zhang Baigui was speechless after hearing this.
Of course he knew that this matter had to be left to the Emperor. Wasn't he afraid that she would do it secretly herself?
Tang Shiyue had already turned and left.
Feel light!
It is said that Mr. Lu Xun once told two jokes.
There was a farmer who had to carry water every day. One day he suddenly wondered, what did the emperor use to carry water? Then he answered himself: It must be a golden shoulder pole.
There is another story about a peasant woman who was working hard at noon on a hot day. Suddenly she sighed, "I don't know how happy the queen is. She is still taking a nap in bed. When she woke up, she called out, "Big sister, bring me a dried persimmon!"
Although it is a joke, it also proves a truth.
The common people do not really understand what kind of life the royal family leads.
They will not consider the national economy and people's livelihood.
Therefore, this kind of love triangle, love quadrangle, the long-awaited love-hate relationship, etc., is very much in line with the public's taste, and everyone believes it as soon as they hear it.
The matter was resolved just like that, just perfect, and it was all thanks to Yan Liangchou’s cooperation!
The next day, after listening to Ding Xiaoyan repeat what Yan Liangchou said the night before, Second Young Master Meng understood: "You actually hate Yan Tingyue more, right? So you used Yan Liangchou to deal with her? To be honest, I hate her the most too! She is totally unreasonable!"
Tang Shiyue looked at him helplessly.
This kid’s intelligence has all been used to pick up girls, right?
Why didn't he think about the fact that Yan Liangchou, as an "adopted son", had caused such a big incident. Whether it was from his "adopted father" or from Yan Tingyue who was offended to death by him, no matter what the reason was, would he get away with it?
She was able to kill two birds with one stone...but no one appreciated it?
She nodded: "You are right, absolutely right, really."
She turned around and called Ding Xiaoyan: "Let's go find Ding Shiba and see how his land is doing."
Now that she had committed the crime of killing the beast, she completely ignored Jia Shiyi's group, and Jia Shiyi also ignored her.
She took Ding Xiaoyan for a walk in the fields, and after coming back, she stayed in her "laboratory" for a few more days.
Although his face looked calm, he was obviously not in a good mood.
After Qing Weile learned about this, she summoned Mao Dahu again and got her a female lynx. Jianying accepted it quite easily, but Tang Shiyue was still unhappy.
The low pressure lasted for several days until news came from the capital that Tang Shirong had won another first place. The Little Three Prizes were finally in his hands!
Only then did she smile.
The imperial carriage finally arrived at the provincial capital, and it was still three days' journey from Qinzhou.
Zhang Baigui came to remind her specially, telling her not to go out in the next few days, because the emperor was coming and he might summon her to see him.
What could Tang Shiyue do? She could only stay at home and read a storybook.
Outside, Ding Xiaoyan was leading an old man inside with great trepidation. The old man was tall and calm, and behind him was a white-faced man who had almost no presence.
After passing the second gate, the old man saw the young lady in the corridor from afar and stopped suddenly.
No one could understand the shock in his heart at this moment!
He had heard more than once, and from more than one person, how much Tang Shiyue looked like the Imperial Concubine, but all this "hearsay" was not as good as seeing it with one's own eyes.
It was so similar! When he first met the Imperial Concubine, she looked exactly like this!
Tang Shiyue looked up when she heard the voice, and Ding Xiaoyan smiled anxiously, "County Lord, this is Mr. Sheng, he said he wants to come visit you."
Tang Shiyue said "oh" and glanced at him.
The old man was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at her calmly.
He was dressed in a brocade robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, slightly thin cheeks, and a faint "chuan" pattern between his eyebrows. He had a beard, which was already gray, but it did not reduce his demeanor at all.
A super handsome uncle.
She had been here for so long, but this was the first time she saw an old man who could be called handsome.
So Tang Shiyue's attitude immediately became very good, and his patience increased exponentially.
People who love looks are just so straightforward.
She cupped her hands and asked, "What's your name, sir?"
The old man said slowly: "Sheng Pei. Gan Pei's Pei. I am Sheng Qi's elder."
Shengpei, Pei, the emperor’s grace.
This is almost said, right? However, in the minds of these big guys, she should be illiterate, so she conscientiously acted as an illiterate and pretended not to hear: "Hello, Mr. Sheng, please take a seat!"
