Chapter 753 Congratulations (2/2)
Astonishment flashed through the Empress' eyes. She thought for a moment and said, ”Is that old craftsman...”
The eunuch replied in a hurry, ”Yes, he is the one who carved the stone tablet for us.”
Hearing this, the Empress' face darkened. She thought that nobody would think the stone tablet had anything to do with her and the inner palace since she placed it in Jin'an Town. But she didn't expect that something would go wrong with the craftsman. ”What's going on? Didn't I specially tell you to get rid of the craftsman and cle

Hearing this, the Empress' eyes flashed with disbelief. Then she quickly turned to the maid and asked, ”What did you say? Is it true? His Majesty is really coming to Wei Yang Palace tonight? ”
”Yes, His Majesty said that he hasn't had dinner in Wei Yang Palace for a long time and he'll come for dinner tonight.”

The maid next to the Empress hurried forward and stuffed an ingot of silver into the servant's hand. The servant took it with a smile, and thanked the empress before leaving.
With a long lost smile in her eyes, the Empress stood up and said, ”Clean up the palace as soon as possible. Go to the Imperial Garden to pick two bright flowers and put them in vases.

After a while, the madam came in. Seeing the happy look on the Empress' face, she paused for a while and then hurried forward to curtsy, ”Your Majesty.”
It was not until the moment that the Empress came to her senses and said, ”Get up quickly. Make up for me and make some popular hair style. Then take out my new phoenix coronet and put it on me. His Majesty is coming to Wei Yang Palace tonight.”
