C558 Consort xian came out (1/2)
Zhou Chengdi held his head in his hands and finally ordered, ”It's not wise to brag about this. Feng Degui, you can quietly lock up Eleventh Prince and tell him that the Empress is dead, and Princess Eleven is too sad and sick to lie down, so we can't mourn for the Queen. As for the Queen's mother's home, we can forget about it for now.”
”Father, this is the last time that I, Yue'er, called you that. I thank you for raising me, and thank you for your kindness to my ancestors. Ten thousand! ”YEAR!” ”Princess Eleven kneels on the ground and kowtows to Emperor Zhou.”
After that, he stood up with a cold expression and followed Feng Degui out of the Changchun Palace's back door, avoiding all eyes and ears.
Not long after, the people in the palace heard the news from Changchun Palace.
On the day of the empress's funeral, the eleventh princess was too sad and sick to even mourn for the empress. She could only lie in bed and rest, not seeing anyone else.
When the news came out, everyone was curious. They didn't know what the empress dowager and the emperor had said to the Eleventh Princess, but after that, no one else saw her at all.
Winter Palace.
”The empress has finally gone. With another opponent missing, I'll be able to sleep more peacefully.”
Wei Ru sat to the side and asked, ”Then when does aunt plan to ask the emperor to grant Big Brother Ye and I marriage?”
”I had originally planned to wait until after you had won the limelight at the poetry gathering before taking the opportunity to ask for His Majesty's decree to grant us your marriage. But because of this continuous interference with the law, not only did we not teach her a lesson, but we also missed out on matters like Senior Servant Jin and Xiao Shan. In the end, you were also involved in this matter, and more or less, the emperor will have some opinions on you.
”Now that the empress has just died, it's even more inappropriate to bring it up right away. We'll have to talk about it in a while.”
Wei Ru was disappointed, but since things had already come to this point, they could only wait. In fact, what made Wei Ru even more disappointed was not the matter of bestowing the marriage, but instead, it was Feng Ye's attitude. He was originally rather courteous towards her, but now it was clearly much colder.
”Empress Dowager Xian, the county governor wishes to seek an audience.” At this moment, the servants outside came to report.
”Aunt, wh-why is she here again?” When Wei Ru heard Lian Meng Yue's name, his heart trembled uncontrollably.
When Xu Xian Fei heard that Lian Yue had come to pay her respects, her expression also changed. Thinking that she was a good concubine, and there was only a county lord left and right of her, she said, ”Let her in.”
”Yes.”
Not long later, Lian Xiyue walked in and paid her respects. ”Rong He would like to speak to the Empress in private. Would that be convenient?”
Xu Xianfei turned to look at Wei Ruchao and nodded her head. Wei Ruchao turned and walked out of the room.
”What are you doing here?” Xu Xianfei sat upright in her chair, her eyes filled with a sense of majesty.
