The pet career of Shaoqing of Dali Temple

Chapter 194 Delivering the decree in the middle of the night, the biological mother is Mrs. Yipin

Back at the Hou's Mansion, Ru Xiaonan was thinking about going to take a bath in comfort, and then having a good night's sleep, when she suddenly saw Qing Moyan coming out of the clean room, and actually changed into a clean official uniform.

In the middle of the night, why did he put this on again?
Noticing her puzzled gaze, Qing Moyan said lightly: "There will be an imperial decree from the palace in a while, and I have to go to receive it."

Only then did Ru Xiaonan remember that in the Empress Dowager's palace, the emperor said that he wanted to reward him.

Although he refused at the time, the emperor called him over later, and the two had a conversation alone.

"What reward did you ask the emperor for?" Ru Xiaonan asked curiously.

Qing Moyan didn't leave immediately after putting on the official uniform, but sat quietly on the chair, drinking tea leisurely.

"It's nothing."

He said something, but it seemed that he was looking forward to it, but only Ru Xiaonan could perceive his anticipation and anxiety.

"Should I go too?" she asked.

Qing Moyan looked up at her, the corner of her mouth curled up, "Okay."

Ru Xiaonan jumped up hastily, "Then I should change clothes too, what should I wear?"

Qing Moyan didn't rush, got up and opened the jacket, picked out a set of clothes for her, "Just wear this."

It was a bright red brocade jacket with magpies making spring embroidered on it.

Ru Xiaonan looked at that set of clothes, such a dazzling dress...is it really good?
At this moment, a servant's report came from the courtyard, "Someone is coming from the palace, please go to the front courtyard to receive the order."

Qingmo quickly helped Ru Xiaonan change her clothes, and the two went to the front yard.

In the middle of the night, someone came from the palace to pass the decree, which already alarmed everyone in the Hou's mansion.

Old Hou Ye hastily changed into his official uniform, and hurried over with the stewards of the mansion.

The second young master was frightened and fell ill in bed, and Hou Ye tried everything he could to get him out of bed to go to the front yard with him.

The servant from the palace obviously knew Qing Moyan very well, so they began to gossip when they met.

Qing Moyan still had a cold face, but she didn't neglect the other party, and asked someone to send a reward letter to the servant.

Old Hou Ye looked at the thick red seal, his eyes twitched.

Life in his house is tight, but this kid is very generous.

"It's so late... Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law." Old Hou Ye also approached to talk.

It is rare for someone to come suddenly in the middle of the night to announce the decree, and it is inevitable that people will feel hairy and unable to settle down.

"I don't know who this decree is for?" Old Hou Ye asked tentatively.

The servant smiled, "Congratulations to Master Hou."

Hou Ye couldn't help feeling excited.

Hearing this meaning, this decree was given to him, and the servant congratulated him, so it should be a good thing.

Thinking of the bleakness of the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye couldn't help but have infinite expectations in his heart.

As long as the emperor can use him again, even if he is asked to do errands, he is willing to face his old face.

"It's getting late." The servant looked at the sky, "Our family has to go back to report to the emperor, but everyone is here?"

Qing Moyan didn't say a word, Master Hou bowed his hands to the servant in embarrassment, "The second son of the mansion suddenly fell ill and couldn't get out of bed, and couldn't receive the order. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Oh? With such a serious illness, didn't Shaoqing invite the imperial physician?" The servant asked casually.

"It's okay, my second brother was just frightened by the torture in the prison cell when he was on business in Dali Temple, and he will be fine after a few days." Qing Moyan said lightly.

The servant raised his eyebrows and didn't ask any more questions.

Just imagining what the torture in the Dali Temple cell is like is enough to make people shudder. Ordinary people may go crazy when they see it, not to mention sick from fright.

At that moment, the servant raised a jade scroll in his hand, and a thin voice sounded: "The Holy Spirit has a decree..."

Everyone knelt down on the ground.

Ru Xiaonan followed closely beside Qing Moyan, also pretending to be kneeling.

Qing Moyan's body covered most of her, so no one noticed that this cunning girl was just kneeling on the ground, her knees didn't even touch the ground, and there was a dress covering her underneath, so it was completely invisible.

The wording of the imperial decree was quite obscure, and she listened with her ears closed for a long time, barely understanding it.

It turned out that the emperor decreed that Qing Moyan's biological mother, Mrs. Lu, should be made a first-class wife.

The atmosphere in the yard froze for a moment.

Old Hou Ye knelt there, trembling all over, his face livid.

After the servant announced the imperial edict, he raised his face arrogantly, "Master Qing, come and accept the edict."

Failure to accept the decree is equivalent to resisting the decree, which is a capital crime of losing one's head.

If it weren't for the support of the servants around him, the old Hou Ye could hardly stand up, he finally got up, came to the servant, took the imperial edict with both hands, thanked him, but the voice was worse than crying.

Ru Xiaonan pursed her mouth and hid behind Qing Moyan to watch the excitement.

No matter how you look at it, the old Marquis doesn’t seem to be happy. It is said that it is a good thing that the imperial decree made his wife a first-class one. It is a glory that no one else can ask for. His face was black, just like mourning.

"Qing Hou Ye, the emperor ordered us to watch Shaoqing go to the ancestral hall to kowtow to his mother before we can go back and reply to the decree." The servant smiled.

Old Hou Ye swayed and almost fell to the ground.

"Open... open the ancestral hall?"

The ancestral hall enshrines the tablets of the ancestors of the Qinghou Mansion, but anyone who can be called a master in this mansion will have a tablet. Of course, those concubines and maidservants will not be treated like this.

The servant stood there looking at Old Hou Ye, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

Finally, it was Qing Moyan who broke the silence first: "Could it be that father wants to resist the edict?"

Old Hou Ye's facial muscles twitched, as if he wanted to scold someone, but he didn't dare because the servant was in front of him.

"Since it's the emperor's word of mouth, please come with me, father-in-law." Hou Ye made a gesture of invitation in great pain.

There are not many people who can enter the ancestral hall, and Nian's status is not qualified at all, so the only ones who went to the ancestral hall in the end were the servants, Qing Moyan and Lao Houye.

The old Hou Ye glanced at Ru Xiaonan, and said coldly: "Outsiders don't have to follow?"

Before Qing Moyan could speak, Ru Xiaonan suddenly took a step forward and grabbed Qing Moyan's sleeve tightly, "I'm here to protect Qing Moyan, lest you bully him!"

Hearing this, the servant laughed sharply: "No wonder even the emperor likes Miss Ru, she really knows how to love others."

The corner of the old Hou Ye's mouth twitched. He really couldn't blame Ru Xiaonan any more after being told by the servant. Why would you blame someone who even the emperor likes.

The steward of the mansion opened the ancestral hall, and everyone filed in.

Qing Moyan slowed down by half a beat, deliberately lagging behind.

Ru Xiaonan was holding the corner of her skirt and was about to cross the high threshold with difficulty, when a big hand suddenly stretched out in front of her eyes.

When she raised her head, she saw Qing Moyan standing there looking down at her, her eyes were as bright as the bright moon in the night sky.

Just when she stretched out her little hand and let Qing Moyan carry her over the threshold, she heard him whisper: "An ugly daughter-in-law still wants to see her mother-in-law."
