Chapter 277
Although the back garden of the East Palace is not as exquisite and wonderful as the Imperial Garden, as the Prince's East Palace, all the furnishings are the top of the Qin Empire today.
Even in this snowy cold winter, winter plums are blooming, and snowflakes fall on the branches of winter plums. The light powder of winter plums in the plain white look particularly beautiful and refined.
Walking in the garden, Li Chen followed Zhao Rui halfway behind him, and then followed the palace maids serving him more than ten steps away.
"Your Highness, it's cold outside, and you're wearing a cloak to avoid catching a cold."
Zhao Rui took Li Chen's snow fox fur cloak from the palace maid, carefully put it on Li Chen, and said.
"I'm interested."
Li Chen took Zhao Rui to walk in the garden and said carelessly: "In a few days, it will be the end of the Spring Festival. According to principles, this day is the day for every family to reunite. At that time, I will send you to your parents' place to join them for a year."
Zhao Rui was stunned when she heard this, then bit her lip and whispered: "I am already your Highness's member. During the Chinese New Year, I will naturally stay with you."
"You are still afraid that this palace will be deserted."
Li Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, you and I have a long way to go, and there are still many opportunities and time in the future. This year, I will go and spend it with your parents."
Seeing Li Chen insisting, Zhao Rui's face showed a complicated look and said, "Are you worried about your concubine's safety?"
Looking at Zhao Rui, Li Chen said, "If I don't fall, the door wall of the East Palace will always be there. No one in the world dares to be in my nose. However, the harem struggles and the other side has great power. It is not easy for me to interfere too much in the matters of the harem. If the queen has the intention to make a pity with you, you can't defend it."
Zhao Rui said sadly: "I'm the one who listens to Your Highness."
"When you were reunited with your parents, it also represented the face of the East Palace. After that, I will arrange it for you and take care of the cost. If you need anything else, you can just go to the warehouse to get it yourself. Although the current situation is difficult, these things for your parents' home are indispensable, so you don't have to save it."
Li Chen said, and took out a copy of the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago.
Zhao Rui was stunned. After taking it with both hands respectfully, she opened it and looked at it. Her pretty face was immediately flushed with excitement.
"This is a gift from the palace to your house."
This imperial edict was the imperial edict that Zhao Rui's mother and Zhao Heshan's wife were the fifth-rank imperial lady.
The wife of the imperial decree is not an official position. At best, it is an honorary title. It is mostly given to the mother of the concubine in the harem and the wife of the important ministers of the court. It is used to demonstrate the greatness of heaven and the court's kindness.
However, the emperors of the Qin Dynasty never liked to enthrone the imperial edicts, and felt that it had no practical significance and was easy to cause trouble. Therefore, the imperial edicts who were still alive in the dynasty were only three.
And this one is the fourth person.
The fifth-rank imperial edict is not of high level, but Zhao Rui is just the position of the crown prince concubine, which is already a great honor.
"I am my mother, thank you for your grace." Zhao Rui said excitedly.
The position of this imperial edict does not have any real power, but it has great symbolic significance. At least it can be known to everyone in the world that the Zhao family is the family valued by the prince.
With a chuckle, Li Chen pulled Zhao Rui, who was kneeling on the snow, leaned into her ear and said, "Have you just thanked me like this? But I don't seem to have much sincerity."
