Chapter 316 What the hell is this family thinking?
The old lady was stunned by the sudden good news and asked anxiously: "What is the good news?"
The girl: "Old lady, go to the front hall to check it out quickly. The eunuch who was sent to the order is already waiting in the front yard!"
As soon as she heard the edict was passed, the old lady shivered in a conditioned reflex. The Feng family received more imperial edicts in the past six months than in the previous twenty years, but they never saw any good things every time. Since it was a good thing, it was Feng Yuheng. After thinking about it, she naturally felt that it should be the edict that was passed on to Feng Yuheng, so she quickly ordered her servants: "Miss. Maybe it's not far away. Go and chase her back and let her go to the front yard to receive the edict."
The girl who came to pass the message stomped her feet and said with a smile: "Oh! Old lady, this will is passed on to you! It's great news!"
Madam Zhao suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly said, "You said carefully, what good news is there?"
Then the girl said, "The imperial edict came from the palace to pass it to the old lady. I want to be named the first-class lady of the imperial edict! The old lady should go to the front yard to receive the imperial edict!"
"Ah!" Both of them were stunned, and there was a surprise behind them. Madam Zhao immediately ordered the girl, "Hurry up and call someone to go to the courtyard to inform the aunt and the ladies to come out to receive the order together. By the way, I have to invite the second lady back, and she hasn't been able to leave for a long time."
"Hey!" The girl ran out happily to pass the message.
Madam Zhao helped the old lady get up, and while tidying her clothes and hair, she said, "Our mansion is about to marry a eldest princess from Qianzhou Kingdom into the door. I think the emperor must think that the old lady can't suppress her without an imperial decree. But speaking of this, I still think that this imperial decree has come too late. Old lady, you are the mother of a first-rank official and should have been granted a title long time ago."
The old lady was already overjoyed and could not care about these things. She kept urging Mama Zhao to move faster, and then said, "Whether it is early or late, it is a ban. If the emperor insists on not banning us, we can't do anything!"
Madam Zhao casually said: "Oh, I think Yao has a first-class imperial edict, so the old slave will feel wronged for the old lady."
The old lady was also wronged: "Hmph, Ah Heng knew to ask for an imperial edict for his mother, but my son didn't have me in his heart!" As soon as he mentioned this, the old lady's face immediately sank.
Madam Zhao was so scared that she quickly apologized: "It's all the old slaves who can't speak. Old lady, don't be angry with the master. The master is the prime minister, so she naturally wants to set an example for all officials. If you just blindly get benefits from your own home like others, then how can you do it!"
The old lady thought that the same was true, and her expression looked better.
Madam Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was so dangerous just now. If her words made the old lady angry with the master, her sin would be a big deal. She accelerated her hands and tidied the old lady's hair again, and then said, "Okay, old lady, let's go to the front yard quickly!"
Here the old lady took a group of people down to the front yard, and the people from other Feng family yards were also rushing to the front yard. Feng Yuheng was intercepted on the way back to Tongshengxuan. She was not surprised by the old lady's sudden first-class imperial edict.
Feng Jinyuan was the prime minister of the first dynasty. It was only a matter of time before his mother gave him an imperial edict. What's more, the imperial edict was just a reward for the family of officials and had no practical significance at all.
But Huang Quan analyzed, "Is this asking the old lady not to lose too much in front of Princess Kang Yi?"
Feng Yuheng laughed, "Maybe she wants her not to lose too much in front of me."
"Huh?" Huang Quan was puzzled, "The emperor has always been towards the lady, how could he let the old lady suppress the lady?"
"How do you know what the emperor means?" Feng Yuheng picked up the corners of his lips and said evilly: "I'm afraid someone is flattering and trying every means to show kindness to the old lady!"
"Miss, is it about Princess Kang Yi?"
"Let's wait and see!"
As they spoke, they had already walked to the front yard. People in each yard also rushed from different directions. Until the Feng family arrived, the housekeeper He Zhong whispered to the eunuch who was delivering the order. Then he heard the eunuch clear his throat and sing: "The old lady of Feng Mansion, Mrs. Li, receive the order."
The old lady quickly walked forward, knelt down first, and whispered: "The civilian woman received the order."
As she knelt down, everyone in the Feng family knelt on the ground. The eunuch conveyed the imperial edict and said loudly: "The old lady of Feng Mansion, Li, is of great character and has a moderate expression. Now I will be awarded the title of the first-class imperial edict and the court robbery of the first-class imperial edict. I respect this!"
The old lady was so happy that she was blooming, and immediately shouted: "The civilian woman received the order to thank her, long live my emperor." Then she raised her hands and took the imperial edict into her hand. The girl next to her also stepped forward and entrusted the imperial edict back.
Madam Zhao helped the old lady up, and then at the old lady's instructions, she rewarded a small purse to the eunuch who passed the imperial eunuch. The eunuch purred it and then smiled with satisfaction: "Congratulations to Mrs. Feng. I wonder if the old lady has any instructions. If not, our family will go back to the palace to reply to the imperial eunuch."
The old lady quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't invite you to the mansion to have a bowl of tea."
"Hey! No need! The old lady, please stay and our family will take a leave!" The eunuch did not stay for a moment, and he issued an order and took the reward and left in a hurry.
Feng Yuheng looked at the old lady happily holding the imperial edict in her hand and wanted to laugh. She could almost imagine the impatient look of Emperor Tianwu when he issued this imperial edict. Such a simple imperial edict, in just a few words, he didn't even want to give it more compliments. It can be seen that this imperial edict was not something that Emperor Tianwu was willing to grant.
Thinking about it, Feng Jinyuan has not asked her mother for so many years as prime minister, which shows that Emperor Tianwu does not like the prime minister's family very much. He will not be entrusted early or late, but when Kang Yi is about to pass the door, she will be entrusted with her toes and think about how this imperial edict came about.
Sure enough, after the eunuch left, the people who looked like maids who followed him did not leave. The leader walked up to the old lady and leaned over and bowed down and bowed: "I wish you a greeting to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady for being granted the imperial edict."
The old lady identified the man carefully for a while and then recognized him: "Are you Qianzhou's maids?"
The girl said, "That's right, the old lady has good eyesight." As she spoke, the warmth made people excited. "I wonder if the old lady is satisfied with the gift our eldest princess gave?"
The old lady was stunned, "What a great gift?"
The girl smiled and said, "It's this imperial edict! Our princess said that the old lady is the head of the family and should always be arrogant, so she went to ask His Majesty Dashun to give the old lady a first-class imperial edict."
The old lady was shocked. Kang Yi asked for this imperial decree for her? Thinking about it, it was true. Ruofeng Jinyuan went to ask for it, and he would definitely tell her in advance. The imperial decree came suddenly. She was only concerned about happiness before, but now she felt a little strange.
Seeing that the old lady had been working together for a long time but didn't say anything, the girl quickly said, "Our eldest princess said that because everything between her and Lord Feng was suddenly, Qian Zhou was too far from Dashun, and there was no time to prepare a dowry now. The eldest princess thought about doing something for the old lady and not letting her down on her mercy. Also, Princess Rujia also has something to give to you!"
As she spoke, as she waved her hand, two maids immediately walked up to each of them with a wooden box in their hands. The box seemed extremely heavy, and the maid couldn't move and had to lean on her body to support her.
"These are two pieces of Guanghan silk that His Majesty from Dashun on the first day of the New Year to Princess Rujia. The princess said that she felt kind from the first time she saw the old lady. After that, she lived in the mansion for a few days. The more she got along, the more she felt that you were her own grandmother. Now that my wish has come true, the princess said this was a meeting gift for the old lady!"
The old lady was really happy at this moment. Not only did she have an imperial decree and court ward, but now she has two more pieces of Guanghan silk, which really surprised her.
She looked at the two wooden boxes with their eyes lit up and said repeatedly: "The two princesses are so polite."
The girl could speak: "In the near future, it will be a family. The princess will bow to you, the old lady." She ordered people to hand over the two pieces of Guanghan silk to the servants of the Feng family, and then said: "I will also go back to the palace to report to the eldest princess, so I won't leave any more. The old lady must take care of her health. The eldest princess said that when she married into Feng's house, she will accompany the old lady every day and serve her in person."
The maid was sweet-mouthed and made the old lady feel happy from the bottom of her heart. The little hostility she had originally towards Kang Yi was completely eliminated again, from being alert to being full of expectations.
As soon as Qianzhou's maid left, only the Feng family members were left in the yard. Seeing that the old lady's joy had not passed, Feng Chenyu's eyes turned, and he took the initiative to step forward, kneeled directly to the ground, and said, "Granddaughter, congratulations to grandmother for receiving the imperial edict!" After that, he kowtowed down with one head.
She was like this, and no one could watch anyone else. An quickly pushed Xiangrong, and Xiangrong also knelt down behind the sinking fish.
Feng Yuheng and Feng Fandai knelt later, but they were also following Da Liu. Behind were the bows of several concubines, including Han who was still pregnant and knelt on the ground and the old lady didn't ask her to get up.
Although it was not the first time that the Feng family had knelt on her, the meaning of today was different. She also had a rank of imperial edicts. From then on, she no longer had to envy other people's female relatives, let alone be embarrassed to attend the banquet because she didn't have an imperial edict.
With such vanity, the crowd waited for a short while to kneel down for half of the incense stick. Then she said, "Okay, get up, just an imperial decree, how can I bow like this?" The obvious inconvenience of her mouth, the fool could tell that she had already smiled.
After the Shenyu got up, he took two steps forward and said with a smile: "In the future, my grandmother will be the wife of the imperial decree. If you have the chance to enter the palace, you will have to wear court clothes, but it is so majestic! I didn't expect that the eldest princess is so thoughtful. My grandmother has a first-class imperial decree. Even if she is the princess of Qianzhou, Qianzhou is actually a minister. With this comparison, her rank is below you." After that, she lowered her voice and said in a volume that only two people could hear: "Grandmother is the first-class imperial decree, and the second sister is the second-class county lord. The eldest princess has good intentions!"
The old lady's eyes lit up, yes! She has always been afraid of the identity of County Lord Feng Yuheng. Now she has an imperial decree, but she has severely suppressed her!
When the old lady thought of this, the old lady's smile became even deeper.
