The two arrived at the Cining Palace, but were not called in.
It is said that the Queen was talking to the Queen Mother in there.
The Queen went to the Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother early in the morning, and said in words that it was against the rules to confer Yan Shiyue the title of Imperial Princess.
Firstly, she was not banished from the imperial court, her age did not match the original record in the jade disc, and she grew up among the common people, so her behavior was not decent...
I don't know if she went back to look up the palace rules. She listed all the rules and regulations, and she was very confident, as if she was determined to win.
The Queen Mother was helpless.
In fact, when she chose the queen, she was attracted by her emphasis on rules.
But she never understood that rules are meant to be used.
Especially those in power should use rules to "control others" rather than restrict themselves.
So, even if she followed the rules, what would it matter? He was the emperor!
...
...
Taking a step back, even if her rules were so strict that the emperor could not refute them and had to obey them, so what? If she made the emperor feel bad and admit it, would she still have a good time in the future?
The Queen Mother said calmly, "Is it possible in ancient times for the Jade Inspection Bureau to recognize two sets of parents?"
The Queen was speechless, and the Queen Mother said, "Since there is no precedent and it is unique, then there is no need to evade the rules. Moreover, Fu Yan has made contributions to the people and the country, so there is nothing wrong with her being named an imperial princess. Moreover, the imperial decree has been issued, and the matter has been announced to the world, so the Queen does not need to say more."
The Queen said, "If that is the case, then as a royal princess, you must live in the palace. It would be inappropriate for you to live outside."
The Queen Mother's eyes sharpened.
So this was her idea.
She wants to detain the person in the palace so that it will be easier for her to take advantage of him!
The Queen Mother's face darkened. "She is both a royal princess and a minister's daughter. Why can't she live outside? I have already said that Fu Yan's case is unique and there is no precedent to escape. Naturally, everything is decided by the Emperor."
When the Imperial Concubine and Yan Shiyue entered, they saw that the Empress Dowager and the Queen both looked a little strange.
But when she saw Yan Shiyue, the Queen Mother still smiled and said, "Fuyan, come here, let me take a good look."
Yan Shiyue went over, and the Queen Mother followed the fine tradition of elderly women and rubbed her from head to toe for a while, then nodded with satisfaction: "What a beautiful child, I am really happy when I see you."
She hugged her and asked, "What picture books have you painted recently?"
Yan Shiyue wanted to hold his forehead.
She worked very hard and finally finished the painting of the Emperor's father, but the Empress Dowager obviously liked it very much and even wanted a new one?
Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "I haven't painted recently. I've been working on Deshan Garden! Why don't I paint Deshan Garden for my grandmother someday, and then she can just go there and have fun."
"That's good," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "Then the Imperial Grandmother will be waiting."
When the two returned to Yonghe Palace, Emperor Ming Yan had just gotten up and was drinking sobering soup.
The Imperial Concubine went over to help him rub his temples, and said with a smile: "I advised you to drink less, but you insisted on drinking so much."
"I was happy yesterday." Emperor Ming Yan smiled and held out his hand. Yan Shiyue came over and Emperor Ming Yan held her hand and said with a smile: "From now on, Yue'er should still call me Aye. Aye likes to hear it."
Yan Shiyue thought that the queen probably wanted to eat me.
Then she smiled and said, "Okay, Aye."
"Well," Emperor Mingyan said, "I finally have solved one of my worries."
After the identity issue was resolved, he thought of something else and discussed with her: "Huo Qijing is alone and has no family, so he is not a good match. Why don't I help you choose a better one."
"It's fine if it's almost there. Your daughter is not a lady." Yan Shiyue advised him: "Do you think everyone can be like you and mother and pick the best one right away?"
The Imperial Concubine burst out laughing.
Emperor Ming Yan was also angry and amused: "You kid!"
Gu Jiuxing stood aside, really admiring this man who could speak well, and he complimented the two of them at once.
The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, had dinner together, and then Emperor Ming Yan went to the imperial study.
He secretly summoned Xu Wenqu and asked him to write about the miraculous incident at the Jade Inspection Bureau in the Biography of Empress Fu.
Then, when the first volume of the Biography of Empress Fu was completed, it was immediately ordered to be printed. In addition to Chang'an City, Qinzhou should be the first to have it. At the same time, a secret order was given to Zhang Baigui to find storytellers to quickly spread the story among the people.
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away.
Celebrating the New Year in Jubao Village was actually not very interesting. Yan Shiyue had heard from Sheng Qi that there would be an exorcism meeting on New Year's Eve in Chang'an City, where everyone could wear ghost masks and go out to play on the streets.
But... she couldn't go. The entire Prince An's Mansion, as well as similar high-ranking officials, would come to the palace for a banquet on New Year's Eve.
Fortunately, she didn't care much. After asking Xu Wenqu and the other two, none of them wanted to enter the palace, so she had to go there alone. She also remembered to bring Tang Xiu out to celebrate the New Year, but in the end, she had to celebrate it alone.
Yan Chengyuan's family also moved back before the New Year. They had chosen a place next to the Lady County's residence, so it was close. Then they opened a small door in the courtyard to make it convenient to move back and forth.
Yan Shiyue thought moving was too much trouble and since she couldn't do anything about it anyway, she brought Xiao Yuan'er and Xiao Guo'er into the palace. She also asked someone to find the seventh and eighth princes. The four children found a hall and played Tetris, um, building blocks.
She gave it a lucky name, "Step by Step", and had someone make a huge batch of them. Each building block was half a person's height, hollow, and polished very smoothly, so that a child could just lift it. Then one team was responsible for holding the blocks, and the other was responsible for arranging them, so it was just right for the two teams to compete.
The children in the palace are completely different from those outside the palace. The two princes are only five years old, but they look very calm. They probably received instructions from their mother and are extremely respectful to her.
But no matter how clever they were, they were just five-year-old kids. They started to have fun while playing, and the whole house was filled with their screams.
The prince was walking by with his men, and when he heard the noise he asked, "What are you doing?"
The person next to him smiled and replied, "The young prince is playing with the Seventh and Eighth Masters."
According to the etiquette of Dayan, only the crown prince and the imperial princess can be called "Your Highness", so everyone in the palace calls Yan Shiyue "Little Highness".
Others, such as the third and fourth princes, were called "Your Highness the Prince" outside, which was a polite way of addressing them. In the palace, they were simply called "Xlang" or "Mr. X".
The prince was stunned: "How did they get together?"
The eunuch said, "I heard that the young prince sent someone to ask, saying that he wanted to find a few people to play with, so he called the seventh and eighth masters."
The prince held his forehead.
Only Yan Shiyue could do such a thing.
He knew that she was just playing with the child out of boredom, but in the eyes of others... Just ask which palace's queen would dare to call the children of other palaces over casually? How could she be responsible if something went wrong?
The prince thought for a moment and said, "Go and invite my third brother and the others over so we can relax together."
He walked in.
Yan Shiyue was sitting on top, laughing so hard that he spit out his tea. When the prince came in, all the children were stunned. Yan Shiyue waved for him to come over and said with a smile, "Hurry up, Xiaoba, you're going to lose!"
The eighth prince started running again with his short legs.
The prince saw that everyone was standing far away, so he scolded in a low voice: "You are so bold!"
