Chapter 571 Sealing the Letter (2)
"... I would like to thank you Commander for such a lowly position. You are really considerate of this lowly position. You must always remember this lowly position, and you will play the book when you turn back." Shangfeng's words have reached this point, what can Ling Mengqi do? So, I had to thank Commander Cao, and then I drafted the scriptures when I went down.

While drafting, he couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly. In the past, he was only thinking about the value of his husband and his wife, and let Lu Mingxuan live a good life with him. Now he knows that the so-called "beautiful husband and wife" is not necessarily a good thing, at least when he is fully It is definitely not a good thing to have the ability to protect her, so that she will not encounter any danger before, but when will I have the ability to completely protect her? If she encounters more dangers in the future, will she Regret marrying him now?
Before marrying her, he could still say that these crises are all in the future, but now these crises are imminent.

Ling Mengqi was very upset about this, and after returning home for a while, he didn't know how to face Lu Mingxuan, so he just told her in a very flat tone that he had already signed up for an imperial order for her, Then there was nothing else to say; and Lu Mingxuan saw that although he was smiling when he spoke, there was no joy in his eyes, and she could probably guess what was going on in his heart, so she didn't ask any more questions. I got to the back of my mind, thinking that it would take a while for the papers to be uploaded and approved, so at least I would wait until the papers came out.

She never expected that the zhezi would come down in just three days. When the officials from the Ministry of Rites came to her house that day, Lu Mingxuan thought she had heard it wrong.

However, officials from the Ministry of Rituals did come, and in addition to passing on the decree, they also sent Lu Mingxuan's book of imperial orders with a bright red cover and a dress crown. Represents one of the most honorable and respectable group of women in Dazhou.

Although it was known before that Lu Mingxuan would have a fourth-rank edict as soon as she passed through the family, the Fengguan Xiapei she wore when she got married was also made according to the specifications of a fourth-rank respectful person. Now the name is justifiable, so after sending off the officials of the Ministry of Rites, everyone in the entire Ling Mansion looked overjoyed.

Especially Lu Mingxuan's dowries felt very honored. Originally, they came from the Duke's Mansion, and they were used to seeing first-rank wives. Speaking of the whole capital, I am afraid that there are very few people in the whole Dazhou, and it is no wonder that they are happy and proud.

Nanny Duan and Danqing brought all the maids and women in the inner house to kneel down to congratulate Lu Mingxuan: "Congratulations Madam, congratulations Madam!"

Ms. Wu even took the opportunity to show her hospitality: "This is a big happy event. According to Lao Nu, we should invite all our relatives and friends to our house so that we can celebrate."

Lu Mingxuan's expression was indifferent, and she only said: "There's nothing to celebrate about this, the imperial orders above the fourth grade in the entire capital, if there is no one hundred, it's eighty. I have just entered the house, and the family affairs have not been sorted out yet, I can't be too busy, I just send someone to the Duke's mansion to announce the happy event, and then send someone back to announce the happy event to my father and wife, that's all."

"Yes, yes, it's all due to the old slave's lack of consideration." Mama Wu flattered the horse's leg, and dared not say any more in embarrassment.

Lu Mingxuan saw that she was not the only one who was flirting, and the smiles of other people also became forced, and she was a little at a loss, so she smiled again: "Although there is no banquet, it is a rare happy event after all, so let's give it a treat from everyone in the house." For the monthly money, everyone will add food tonight!"

Only then did everyone's faces fill with smiles again, and they thanked Lu Mingxuan in unison: "Thank you Madam for the reward."

Lu Mingxuan nodded, and ordered everyone to get up and disperse, while she herself returned to the inner room with Danqing Danbi and Xia Hecai, who carefully held the book of imperial orders and the dress crown.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the dress of the Sipin Gong should be a real red large-sleeved shirt with a dark blue beige, on which the pattern of peacocks and clouds is embroidered with gold thread, and the crown is made of red gold, decorated with complicated beaded flowers, Jinyun Pian and so on, each side has an auspicious bird holding a string of beads in its mouth. For the convenience of wearing the ceremony crown, it can only be combed with a fixed Songshan bun, and an amethyst Liuluan step rock is inserted on each side of the bun.

Although this outfit is rare, in terms of value alone, it is not worth anything, but it is better than it represents dignity, and it is not something that anyone can wear if they want to. After returning to the room, the girls couldn't help but looked around with excitement. Half a day later, Dan Qingfang and Lu Mingxuan said: "Your maidservant, put away all your things and put them on when Mrs. Ming'er is about to enter the palace to worship or go out as a guest."

Speaking of seeing Danbi eager to touch the dress, he hurriedly scolded: "Be careful, if you break something, you will not be blamed!"

But Lu Mingxuan said from the side: "It's okay, it's not made of tofu, it will go bad if you touch it, but after all it's a gift from the emperor, it's better to be careful, Danqing, just put everything away carefully. "

Dan Qing quickly bowed his knees to agree, and seeing that Lu Mingxuan's brows were still not full of joy, he couldn't help asking cautiously: "Why do the servants see that Madam is not very happy, so it is reasonable for such a happy event...Could it be that the servants or servants are waiting for someone to do it?" Didn't you do well, did you get upset?" Just now you can say that you are not happy with Mama Wu's words just now, but now that no one is in front of you, why are you still unhappy?
Lu Mingxuan just smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little tired, okay, you all put away your things and then leave, I want to lie down for a while."

Thinking of the fact that Madam has never had a free day since she passed the door, Dan Qing just thought she was really tired, not suspecting him, hurriedly led Dan Bi and the others to fold things up and put them away, and quietly retreated out.

Lu Mingxuan just lay on the bed and frowned. Nanny Danqing and Duan and the others only saw her supreme decency and honor that she was awarded a fourth-rank order at a young age, so how could they know that this decency and honor was extremely likely to cause disaster? How could she know that Ling Mengqi only got it in exchange for his narrow escape? If she could, she would rather not have this troublesome order, and only want Ling Mengqi to be safe and sound, okay?

And it’s nothing more than a narrow escape, but the key point is that he still feels aggrieved, because he can’t deny that he can get to where he is today, it’s really all due to his own hard work——and fortunately, the fourth-rank woman is a woman in the eyes of Dan Qing and others. An extraordinary existence, but far from qualified to enter the palace to thank the emperor and queen, otherwise she would not be able to be happy.

Thinking of going to the palace to thank her, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but sighed again when she thought that she would have to go to the palace to worship at any time of the year.

Who knows what will happen to Concubine Luo at that time, and whether Empress Xu's mother and son and Lu Mingfeng will take the opportunity to make trouble.

The former out of the so-called "heart of loving the son" would not have any intention of harming her, but her heart of loving the son is a double-edged sword. Although it can save Ling Mengqi's life at the critical moment, it can't It can make him live a life that people who don't know are envious, but more often it will bring almost devastating disasters to Ling Mengqi, hurting him and herself.
