Chapter 35 Entering the Palace

Qiyue Pavilion in the Marquis of Wending.

Dugu Yan sat alone in front of the windowsill, looking into the direction of the palace, with hope and sorrow in her eyes...

Brother Xuan, why have you never given a reply after a few days?

My brother clearly said that the emperor would have given an order in the past few days, but how many days have passed, why haven’t you issued an order yet? My father and brother are not allowed to contact you privately, but when will Yan'er wait?

Qiao'er walked into the room with a bowl of bird's nest in her hand and saw this scene. Fang opened her mouth and said, "Miss, this is the bird's nest just sent to the kitchen. You eat it while it's hot. You have been unable to sleep well these days and your face is not good. This is what the Marquis specially ordered the kitchen to stew for you."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan turned his head and asked, "Qiao'er, is there still no news from the palace?"

Qiao'er replied, "No, Miss, let's wait a little longer." She sighed silently in her heart. Alas, how many times have the lady asked these days. The lady sat by the windowsill every day, looking at the direction of the palace, waiting for news in the palace.

Dugu Yan asked after hearing this, "Didn't your brother come back yet?"

"No, Miss, I just went to ask, but the housekeeper said he had not seen the prince come back yet." Qiao'er replied.

"Where is my father?" Dugu Yan asked again.

Qiao'er replied, "Miss, I heard from the butler that the marquis came back an hour ago, but he went out again later."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan looked out the window silently again.

Qiao'er shook her head when she saw it, and put the bird's nest in a warm cup to warm it. Oh, the lady has been like this these days.

In the evening, Wen Ding Hou and his son appeared together in Qiyue Pavilion.

"Father, brother, you are finally back!" Dugu Yan stood up happily and said.

"Yan'er, come and sit down." Dugu Ziyan walked up to help Dugu Yan sit down.

Dugu Yan said anxiously: "Father, brother, tell me quickly what the emperor said now."

"Yan'er, don't worry first. Listen to your father, brother, you will naturally help you." Wen Dinghou looked at his daughter and said.

Dugu Yan heard this and said, "Okay, Yan'er, father, brother, you guys."

Wen Dinghou looked at his daughter and was silent for a moment before saying, "Yan'er, this morning, the emperor went to the father and your brother."

"Well, what does the emperor say?" Dugu Yan asked anxiously when he saw his father's look unwilling to say it.

Marquis Wen Ding said helplessly: "Our two founding marquis mansions have the right to be independent of marriage. The emperor asked if he would like to let you enter the palace."

Dugu Yan hurriedly continued: "I do it, father, Yan'er is willing!"

Dugu Ziyan persuaded him after hearing this: "Yan'er, don't be anxious, listen to your father's words."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen." Dugu Yan replied after hearing this.

Wen Dinghou sighed helplessly and continued, "The Emperor said that the Imperial Heaven Supervision has investigated and sacrificed to the Temple of Heaven, saying that sacrifice to the Temple of Heaven will invade the invasion of the evil spirit and need to be re-deployed. To purify the evil spirit, all kinds of sacrifice activities cannot be carried out for the time being, including the enthronement of the queen. Now you can only be named as a concubine, and ask if you would like to enter the palace."

"Concubine? It's really only a concubine?" Dugu Yan asked unwillingly.

Wen Dinghou nodded helplessly and said, "Well, since the emperor said so, there is no other choice at the moment, but Yan'er, you still have the right to choose not to enter the palace."

Dugu Yan was silent for a long time and finally said, "Okay, I'll enter the palace."

Dugu Ziyan advised after hearing this: "Yan'er, you have thought about it. The emperor will say so now. The position of queen may not fall on you in the future."

"Brother, I've decided, I'm going to enter the palace." Dugu Yan said firmly.

"Okay, since you have already thought about it, I won't advise you brother." Dugu Ziyan said helplessly.

"Brother, will you help me in the future?" Dugu Yan asked.

"Brother will naturally help you. In the current situation, I am afraid that you will be unhappy after entering the palace." Dugu Ziyan said.

"Brother, the emperor likes Yan'er. In the future, Yan'er will definitely become the queen." Dugu Yan said firmly.

Wen Ding Hou and his son were both silent, I hope...

Wendinghou’s study room.

"Ziyan, what do you think about this?" asked Hou Wen Ding.

Dugu Ziyan replied after hearing this: "Shangguan Lin, the chief supervisor of the Imperial Heaven Supervision, is now keeping his mouth shut about everything, and he is indeed investigating the sacrifice to the Temple of Heaven. Although his son works in the Imperial Heaven Supervision, these things are all done by Shangguan Lin's confidants, and his son can't ask anything."

Marquis Wen Ding continued: "Originally, after Xiao Jinxi was granted a title, our Marquis Wen Ding's mansion was inferior. Now, Yan'er has only been granted a concubine, and his father is not worthy of Yan'er."

Dugu Ziyan continued after hearing this: "Please forgive my son for saying frankly, Father, from the beginning, you shouldn't have allowed Yan'er to have private contact with the emperor. Now it's known that everyone is aware of it. It's difficult to get rid of the tiger, and finally it exposed the secret power of our marquis' mansion."

Wen Dinghou replied after hearing this: "Our Marquis Wen Ding Mansion has always been behind Marquis Wu'an Mansion. The reason is that Marquis Wu'an Mansion holds 300,000 military powers in his hand."

"It is also a hope that our Marquis of Wending can pass through the Marquis of Wu'an. Who knew that in the end, the emperor chose Xiao Jinxi. After the imperial edict was imposed, I also advised your sister, but your sister no longer listened to the advice."

"Father, according to my son, this imperial edict for consecration is more like the emperor's warning to the Marquis of Wending's Mansion." Dugu Ziyan said.

Wen Dinghou heard this and said in surprise: "Zi Yan, are you saying that the emperor is already afraid of the secret forces in the Wen Dinghou's mansion?"

Dugu Ziyan said in a deep voice: "It may not be possible before, but since the sacrifice to the Temple of Heaven and the fact that my sister helped the emperor upload a letter, our Wending Marquis Mansion has definitely entered the emperor's sight."

When Wen Dinghou heard this, he said heartbrokenly: "Oh, my father was wrong! After the imperial edict was issued, my father should strongly oppose your sister and take back the power in her hands. Now, it has disrupted the situation you have saved up with great effort."

Dugu Ziyan said helplessly: "Forget it, my father, I have already done this, I can only take one step at a time. But father, before entering the palace, you'd better analyze the current situation with your sister so that your sister won't make any mistakes again, otherwise, our Wending Hou Mansion is just afraid...."

"Okay, my father will have a good talk with your sister." Wen Dinghou said after hearing this.

The next day, the imperial edict was issued to the Marquis of Wending. Dugu Yan entered the palace three days later and was named a virtuous concubine.

There is another topic of discussion in the market.

"I heard that Miss Dugu, the Mansion of Wending, was named a virtuous concubine and will enter the palace in three days."

"Ah, really!"

"Ms. Xiao just broke off the engagement a few days ago, and now she will be granted the concubine so soon!"

"What's so strange? The Emperor's harem has three thousand beauties."

"I heard that Miss Dugu was willing to enter the palace because she was grateful to the emperor for saving the emperor and Xiangguo Temple."

"That's true!"

"That's true, why should Miss Xiao break off the engagement?"

"Who knows!"

"Oh, let's talk less about royal affairs" ·······

Jinxiu Pavilion of Wu'an Hou Mansion.

Wei Mo bowed and replied, "Master, the imperial edict of consecration has been issued to the Marquis of Wending."

"Okay, I understand, you go and do your business." Xiao Jinxi said with her eyes fixed on the chessboard.

After a long time, Xiao Jinxi put the jade in his hand into the plate.

Murong Xuan, Dugu Yan, this is the third strike, how about it?

From today on, the game between me, Xiao Jinxi and you will be officially opened! You owe the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and Chen'er, you can't escape any of them.
