The ones who came in were Madam Marquis Wu Qing and his eldest son's wife, the Empress Dowager Li's sister-in-law. The sound of the empress dowager wanting to see her family suddenly came from the palace.
”Sooner or later, this will happen. You can go in and have a good talk with the empress dowager.” The Marquis Wu Qing said.
”Your good plan and my son's, you want me to go to the palace and suffer.” Marquis Wu Qing frowned.
”You can't stand your own daughter's anger? ”So expensive.” The Marquis Wu Qing said, ”If she scolds us, we can let her curse a little. If we don't, tell her to hide her father's position and vent her anger.”
How could Madam Marquis Wu Qing take his words seriously? After entering the palace, he saw his daughter and stood up after bowing.
”The duke's manor is now full of mighty people. They've cheated This Dowager.” The Empress Dowager Li said coldly.
”There's no other way.” ”I didn't mean to hide it from the Empress.”
”Then, what reason does she have to enter the palace?” The Empress Dowager Li said.
Madam Hou turned to look at her daughter-in-law. In her heart, she did not want the young woman to enter the palace and bully her own girl, but his husband and father-in-law insisted on their own ways. Furthermore, she was the only one in the family who was suitable for her age. No matter what he thought, he just said timidly, ”Hubby, earlier, you saw Yu Fan with a family, but something happened to that son. No one knows who leaked the information, but Hubby had a friend who came to propose marriage for him, so he already has two wives. It's not like my husband is willing, and it's not good to deny her friendship. Just saying that it's good fortune for her to go to the palace to accompany the empress dowager. ”
”Oh, you sent her to the palace just to accompany This Dowager?” Empress Dowager Li asked, ”It's not for your majesty.”
”Absolutely not.” His eldest sister-in-law said, ”Everyone knows that the Empress won't let her daughter into the palace.”
”This Dowager doesn't even know when she sees it, she's just saying it half-heartedly.” The Empress Dowager Li slapped the table and said, ”Since you are here to accompany This Dowager, why can't you tell This Dowager about it? This humble one only knows that the Li family's daughter has been chosen to enter the palace. If Your Majesty doesn't know, then she might really be assigned to a palace that serves as a cleaning little palace maid. ”
”The might of the Heavenly Master is also her good fortune.” Sister-in-law said.
”How did the emperor know?” Madam Hou asked, ”With the current status of our family, sending our daughter to the palace as a palace maid is indeed unpleasant, so we borrowed the names of distant relatives to enter the palace.”
”Have you inherited the past?” Empress Dowager Li asked.
Madam Hou paused. ”Not yet.”
”Jade Fan's mother even gave birth to a son for your brother, which he really liked. If it wasn't because he had no other choice, he wouldn't be willing to send his child to the palace.” Madam Hou said, ”He was the one who was bold enough to secretly take care of this matter without telling Master Hou and me. A month ago, he sent Jade Fan to another village and only told Master Hou and me when he entered the palace. Master Hou was so angry that he beat him up, but what can we do about it? The child has already entered the palace.”
”Then why didn't you tell This Dowager?” Empress Dowager Li said that it was better than the humiliation she got from others.
”At that time, I had handed over a paper roll to the palace. Didn't the Empress not approve it?” Madam Hou said helplessly.
”Very good, now it's This Dowager's fault.” The Empress Dowager Li said.
”Empress said that His Majesty knows, but how has His Majesty dealt with it?” the eldest sister-in-law asked worriedly.
”His Majesty has given her the title of Imperial Noble Lady Jia. Your big brother's good plan has succeeded.” The Empress Dowager Li said.
