Chapter 12
After Xiao Zhengting's persuasion, the Empress Dowager finally turned her mind back to the right path, so she issued an imperial edict, pretending to be extra generous, and contributed some private warehouses, ordering the Ministry of Rites and others to prepare for the ceremony of the Queen's Enthronement.
The originally tense atmosphere in the court suddenly changed.
The empress dowager let go and the Ministry of Rites became busier and more careful.
For a moment, it seemed as if the whole country was eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the Queen's Cemetery.
At this time, Li Tianji slowly returned to the capital, but his family was still in Minze County. This was the empress dowager's order, and he ordered him to watch Yang Yaoer's family and might be able to use it in the future.
Li Tianji is able to live up to today, and naturally he does not dare to refuse.
Li Tianji arrived outside the Li Mansion gate, and everyone was already waiting.
His mother and brother came up together, but saw Li Tianji turn around and wave, so a maid lifted up the curtains of the two carriages behind him.
After looking closely, two young girls came down from the head, who were fifteen or sixteen years old, with a timid expression. One in front looked straight, with gentle eyebrows and eyes. The other in the back was soft and weak, with a few romantic appearances between the eyebrows.
Li Tianji's sister-in-law immediately pulled her face.
"Why did my uncle come back with a few young girls when he goes to Minze County?"
The Li family is not short of maids, and there are many young and beautiful people. Therefore, the Li family brothers have many compulsory houses and play with maids. The people in this mansion alone are enough to have a headache, and Li Tianji also brought people back!
But Li Tianji smiled slightly and said, "This is to be sent to the palace."
Only then did the sisters-in-law look calmed down.
After entering the door, Mrs. Li whispered: "What did the Empress Dowager tell me?"
Li Tianji nodded.
"The one in front..."
Li Tianji shook his head, showing a look of regret: "The one in front is a fool. After hearing that she entered the palace, she no longer had any movement. I think she could not please the emperor. Now the ceremony of the Queen is unstoppable. Since this is the case, it is better to take the initiative and use the divination of the Imperial Heavenly Prison as a cover-up and send a few more girls from Minze County in. There are always three or two smart and smart people who are favored for the Queen."
Mrs. Li's voice lowered and said, "The one who was born in front is not OK. The one behind..."
Judging from her eyes, everyone knew that the light of the sun and the moon in front was beautiful, but the light of the fireflies behind was just the brilliance.
"No matter how beautiful you are, what's the use of not knowing how to compete for favor?" Li Tianji smiled and said, "The emperor is young and has never been in personnel before. As long as these girls are trained, they will naturally be able to charm the little emperor."
Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't believe it, Li Tianji smiled again and said, "As both men, my son knows these things the most."
He was born in the royal family and had great experiences. In history, the emperors had sex at the age of 12 or 13, and naturally became addicted to beauty and was deserted in national affairs. After a few years of trouble, their bodies were hollowed out.
He told me that it would be too late to send someone to the new emperor now. If it were him, he would have sent palace maids who were familiar with human affairs to serve him early in the morning when the new emperor was still ignorant. No matter how poisonous spells were, they were not as powerful as killing people with such a soft knife.
Of course, Li Tianji dared not say these words.
After doing something for the empress dowager, Li Tianji was naturally very happy and rested in his favorite concubine that night.
But before going to bed, he inevitably thought of the girl from the Yang family again.
The appearance is really itchy.
Such a fool must have done whatever he wants to do. Unfortunately, he was sent to the palace. The little emperor did not understand these things, so he naturally did not pamper her. It was a pity...
The two girls brought back by Li Tianji, one was named Fangcao and the other was named Ruier.
They were all sold by their parents because of their poor family.
These were rare two people in Minze County. Li Tianji gave them a new name and brought them to Beijing. The old nanny in the mansion taught them the rules for two days. Where did these two people come from such a place? They were extremely frightened, so they cried when they entered the night, and told the nanny to find out, and then they were very careful to get rid of it.
After four or five days of being led into the palace.
Compared to Yang Yaoer, who had no idea at the time, they knew that this was the palace.
The palace...
That is where the emperor lives!
The two girls followed the person in the meantime while trembling.
The people from Yong'an Palace frowned.
Especially Lian Qiao cursed: "It's better than a fool."
Only then did Rui'er carefully raise her head and ask, "Silly, fool? Yes, is it from the Yang family?"
Lian Zheng said impatiently: "Yes."
Yang Yao'er is a joke about the ten miles and eight villages of Minze County. Although these two people were very afraid, they immediately endured their fear when they heard that the fool was also here.
You can't tell that fool to compete...
Knowing that the person who came back this time was not a fool, the Empress Dowager called them to the front with great compassion and looked them carefully.
The queen mother frowned and pointed at Fangcao and said, "What are you wearing? Didn't the Li family dress her up? She looks like a rural girl! She is vulgar!"
After saying that, he pointed at Rui'er again: "Is this from a farmer? It looks like it is from a brothel! Why are you pretending to be so weak?"
Madam Xu then took a step forward and advised: "Empress, Lord Li specially chose two such people. Isn't this man's favorite of these two women?"
The Queen Mother then suppressed her contempt.
"What the nanny said makes sense, she is better than that fool." The queen mother paused, took a silver ingot from the table and threw it down.
The silver ingot rolled to Fangcao's feet.
"Please take it, the Ai family will reward you."
Fangcao's eyes were straightened.
She swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and was trembling all over with excitement.
She has never seen so much money in her life!
You should know that even if they sell their girls, they will only cost one or two taels of silver if they are sold.
Fangcao lay on the ground and quickly put the silver ingot in his arms.
This way, she pleased the Queen Mother. She laughed and said, "What a good boy. In the future, as Ai's family said, there will naturally be more of these things."
After saying that, she threw down another thing and asked Rui'er to pick it up.
That's a pearl.
Rui'er is even more excited than the fragrant grass.
She had more knowledge than the fragrant grass. She had heard people talk about hundreds of taels of pearls in the capital, which were affordable to noble people...
The Empress Dowager beat the two of them like this and immediately became much more satisfied. As before, she asked someone to lead them to the Palace of Harmony.
Madam Xu led the people to the back bedroom of Yangxin Hall.
These two girls were looking around all the way. This was a scene that they would never see in their entire lives. They widened their eyes, full of amazement and envy.
When they saw the guards and palace servants, they shrank their shoulders again and were filled with fear.
This time, it was Madam Qin who was picked up. Madam Qin was scolded a few days ago and was unhappy.
She didn't dare to exasperate Yang Yao'er. Now that she heard that two more girls came from Minze County, she exasperated her anger on the newcomer's head.
"I'm timid! Stand up straight!" Madam Qin said sternly.
Fangcao and Rui'er were so scared that they shook their bodies and knelt down outside the steps.
"Madam, please spare me." They said obediently, tears were almost pouring out.
Madam Xu glanced at them.
Afraid of hands and feet, weak mind.
It happened that at this moment, Mama Liu heard the sound, so she raised the curtain and walked out. Seeing that two girls were kneeling outside inexplicably, she frowned and said coldly: "What's the noise? Why did you send two girls over?"
"The Empress Dowager ordered us to send it. These two people were also found by Lord Li from Minze County."
Mama Liu said unhappily: "Hasn't it been delivered before?"
"The emperor's dragon body is the most important thing. For the sake of caution, Lord Li found two more to come."
After a while, the emperor sent a little eunuch to ask.
Just like Yang Yaoer came back to meet the emperor for the first time that day.
Madam Qin was about to ask these two girls to kowtow to the emperor when she heard footsteps coming closer behind her.
When Mama Liu turned around and saw Yang Yaoer standing outside, tilting her head slightly, and visiting her. The palace maid who served Hanchun's room was already used to the Miss Yang, so she looked natural and did not stop her.
Take a look again.
Yang Yaoer was holding a flower in her hand, just like the last time, and I don’t know where it picked it from.
The little eunuch turned around and went back to the emperor. Soon, he came out again and said, "The emperor said, come in."
Madam Qin was happy and said to Fangcao. Rui'er, "What are you still standing there? Let's ask you to go in."
