The empress dowager smiled. ”Get up. The four assistant ministers are already inseparable from the Great Qing Dynasty. The only reason the emperor wants to marry the son of one of his aides is to marry him.”

After we left the palace, we returned home together. Grandmother told Grandfather about the empress dowager's golden mouth marriage, which made him very happy, and he actually touched my head in a rare way. He smiled and said to Grandmother, ”Tomorrow, I'll get a master from the Han Dynasty from Jiaxu. The Han Dynasty has a good education in women, and the concubines have to be more understanding and virtuous. This is the empress dowager's favor, so you must be taught well.” Grandmother smiled in agreement.

From that day on, I had a master. Grandfather often said that in the future, when I become the emperor's concubine, I must treat the empress dowager and empress dowager with utmost respect and filial piety. I must treat the empress with respect and treat the other concubines with leniency. Grandfather's discipline towards me is very strict. Other than studying etiquette, which is over, I rarely allow people to leave the house. Actually, my temper is also very calm, so I don't have anything to care about.

I remember one day when I was 13 years old, not long after the Emperor's birthday, when my grandfather came back, he was very excited. He gathered the whole family and even I was called over. Just as I entered the hall, my grandfather saw me and excitedly called out to me, ”Jia Xiu, come here. Come to my grandfather.”

Facing my grandfather's cordiality, I was at a loss of what to do for a moment. I looked at my first mother, who was standing to the side. Her face was full of smiles as she gently nodded at me.

Grandfather kindly looked at me and said, ”Jia Xiu, the empress dowager personally ordered you today. You're going to become the empress dowager of the imperial court!”

I looked up at my grandfather, without any particular emotion, but with some confusion. All these years, in my grandfather's teachings to me, I already knew that I was destined to be a concubine. Since Taizong, the empress of the Great Qing Dynasty had all come from the clan of Mongolia, so my grandfather always believed that the empress of the current dynasty would also be a Mongolian empress.

Seemingly understanding the confusion in my eyes, my grandfather benevolently replied, ”I'm also very surprised that the empress dowager chose you as her successor. The empress dowager said that a few days ago, on the day of your grandmother's birthday, when you entered the palace with her, the empress dowager saw that you were already so old. She really liked you, so she decided to take you as her successor.” Of course, Sony knew in his heart that this was the Queen's way of speaking, and everyone knew the meaning behind it, and Sony would not tell her granddaughter.

Sony looked at Jia Xiu and heaved a long sigh of relief. ”I am so pleased. I was trusted by the late Emperor to be the first of the aides, and now I have been doted upon by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. It is a blessing for the Heseli clan to have you as the Empress.” It is the Long En of my Heseli Clan! Your grand wedding is this autumn, and what grandfather taught you in the past must be respected. As the empress and the ruler of the harem, your responsibilities and responsibilities are greater than that of everyone below you. ” With that, his grandfather's eyes turned red. ”Grandfather really hopes that you can become a good empress.”

Surprisingly, I felt that it wasn't true that I was being chosen as the empress. Hearing my grandfather's orders, I hastily replied, ”Yes, grandfather. I'll remember it. I'll definitely work hard to become the emperor's good empress.”

Grandfather nodded his head in gratification and excitedly said, ”In a few months, I will be your subject. You will be the pride of our Hesherry clan, so grandfather has confidence in you.”

At the end of April, the emperor sent his officials to perform the ceremony, and after the ceremony, the marriage was officially settled. If I really became the empress, I would be the legitimate wife of the emperor, and when I was finally sure of this, my heart began to look forward to the grand marriage with the emperor.
