5. Chapter 5 The imperial decree comes when the disease is recovered
The weather was warm and comfortable, but Su Zimo could only move his right hand slightly, but could not do many movements. After resting on the bed for several days in a row, Su Zimo felt that all the bones in his body were falling apart, and he just wanted to get out of bed and walk around.
As soon as I got off the ground, I heard a knock on the door, and a sweet voice came from outside the door: "Sister Su, are you up?"
Wang Mengqi? Su Zimo frowned slightly. Wang Mengqi had been complaining about illness these days. He only came to see her on the second day he came here and left after a while. Hearing this voice, he was still a little weak. Why did he run away so early without resting?
coming?
With doubts, Su Zimo responded: "I'm here, come in quickly."
Wang Mengqi pushed the door open and looked at Su Zimo with peacock eyes like peach blossoms: "Sister Su, I'm here to accompany you."
"Can you sleep better today?" Su Zimo motioned to Wang Mengqi to sit down, and picked up the teapot with her left hand to pour tea, but Wang Mengqi snatched it away.
"Sister, your hand hasn't responded yet, how can you hold this teapot? Just come and pour it." Wang Mengqi took the celadon teapot, filled it up for Su Zimo and said, "I just got motion sickness today. I'm fine. I just feel very lonely.
Sister, you are poisoned and weak, so I can’t disturb you. Yang Jinshu has never looked at me, and he doesn’t even bother to talk to me."
Seeing the loneliness in Wang Mengqi's eyes, Su Zimo's heart tightened and she consoled her: "I'm feeling better too. If you feel bored, just come and stay with me. I just have a companion."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of painful crying outside. Su Zimo was startled. She looked up at Wang Mengqi, but she still lowered her head and said nothing, as if she already knew what the crying was about.
Su Zimo walked to the window, opened it a crack, and saw two people hugging each other in front of the guest room opposite.
The woman with her back facing him was a plump woman, wearing a silk skirt made of plain white fish mouth silk, a light gray chrysanthemum-patterned bra, and her hair was braided into a lady's bun without any hair accessories.
The person surrounded by her was Yang Jinshu. Yang Jinshu had changed into a plain white skirt at some point, but wore a faint green waistband. The cry just now was made by her.
"Mom! Wuwu, why did you come here? The eldest sister is dead, I'm so scared! Wuwu..." Yang Jinshu cried pitifully in the woman's arms, his shoulders twitching constantly.
"Fortunately you're still here! Otherwise, what would you do to mother? Be good, don't cry, it's over, it's over!" Mother Yang gently patted Yang Jinshu's back, with a slight choke in her voice: "Let's go, follow mother."
Go in and say, don't disturb others' rest."
Su Zimo watched Yang Jinshu drag her mother into the room with tears in her eyes, lowered the window, lowered her eyes, walked back to the round chair and sat down.
Su Zimo also thought of her mother. Her mother was so beautiful and so kind to her, but her mother would never appear again.
She was feeling sad, but Wang Mengqi put his hand on the back of her hand. Su Zimo looked up and saw Wang Mengqi giving her a comforting smile: "Sister Su, although our mother is not here, we still have each other, no matter what
No matter how long we go in the future, we will all be good sisters."
Su Zimo smiled at Wang Mengqi, but in her mind she couldn't help but connect Wang Mengqi's coming here in the morning with what happened just now.
Wang Mengqi knew that Yang Jinshu's mother was coming, so she specifically chose this time to find her, hoping to make friends with her. Thinking of Wang Mengqi's appearance when she first got on the carriage, and thinking of her previous situation at home, Su Zimo knew what Wang Mengqi was thinking.
Suddenly, the sound of trotting outside the door was getting closer and closer. When she reached the door, Su Zimo heard a little maid nervously shouting: "You two girls, go to the front hall quickly, there is an imperial edict coming!"
The imperial edict came so quickly! Su Zimo felt a little uneasy. It was a long way from Tokyo to Dingzhou, but the imperial edict arrived in four days. She wondered if the emperor would be furious because of this and save them the opportunity to enter the palace.
"Sister Su, what should I do if the holy edict is here?" Wang Mengqi also looked panicked and at a loss.
Rushing to the front hall, Su Zimo saw all the officials of Dingzhou Prefecture, large and small, standing aside with sad faces. When Su Zimo saw that Lord Zhizhou Wang was holding a roll of bright yellow brocade in his hand, he knew that Dingzhou officials had accepted the order.
"Master Wu, these are the beautiful ladies in the Xuzhou motorcade who were lucky enough to escape the crisis." Wang Yuanbao said to a broad-faced man in green official robes, and then looked at Su Zimo and the others with a smile: "Miss Yang, Su
Miss Wang, this is Master Wu, the envoy of the edict, please kneel down quickly to receive the edict."
When the other officials looked at Su Zimo and the others, their expressions became sad and replaced with a little kindness.
The edict had a square face and narrow eyes. He looked at Su Zimo and the others carefully. He seemed to be weighing something in his mind. After a moment, his expression softened and he said loudly to Su Zimo and the others: "Yang Jinshu, Su Zimo
, Wang Mengqi listened to the order. "
The imperial edict of the three of them?
Su Zimo's face was respectful, guessing the content of the decree in her mind, and her salute movements were smooth and appropriate. She kowtowed and said respectfully with Yang Jinshu and Wang Mengqi: "Country girl Su Zimo (Yang Jinshu, Wang Mengqi) accepted the decree."
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: The three beauties Yang Jinshu, Su Zimo, and Wang Mengqi are gentle, virtuous, intelligent, brave, and decisive in their mechanisms. They will defend the royal dignity from evil thieves. Yang Jinshu, the daughter of Yang Shuo, the magistrate of Xuzhou, is specially named a beauty.
Xuzhou Tong sentenced Wang Yuhe’s queen Mengqi to be the permanent resident, and the transshipment envoy Su Jizu’s daughter Su Zimo to be the permanent resident. Thank you for this. The three girls have not received the order to express their gratitude! "
"Thank you Lord for your kindness, long live your emperor!"
Seeing the edict handing the imperial decree into Yang Jinshu's hands, Su Zimo felt that her fingers were so cold that they had been selected.
Although she was expected to be selected, she didn't expect it to be so early. Su Zimo's heartbeat accelerated a little, and she secretly smiled gratefully at the messenger who had come from thousands of miles away.
"Congratulations to the three girls!" Wang Yuanbao looked at Su Zimo and the others with a happy face, and his sadness disappeared.
Seeing Wang Yuanbao like this, other officials also stepped forward to congratulate Su Zimo and the others. Su Zimo pulled Wang Mengqi, who was in a daze, and Wang Mengqi came back to her senses slightly. She and Su Zimo returned the congratulations to the officials with a smile.
Glancing at Yang Jinshu from the corner of her eye, Su Zimo found that although Yang Jinshu's words and actions in return were in place, she felt a little absent-minded. On the contrary, her mother was looking out for her daughter with a smile on her face.
After all, she is not Yang Yudie's biological mother, otherwise even if Yang Jinshu was conferred, he would not smile so sincerely.
Su Zimo was thinking in her mind when she heard Wang Yuanbao, the governor of the state, say: "Master Wu has been working hard on this trip. I'm afraid he's exhausted. I'll prepare some food and wine here. You might as well take a rest early."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I don't want the wine. Just have some simple food. I have to rush back to reply to the order. There is no time to lose." Although the rank of the envoy is not as high as that of Wang Yuanbao, he does not mean to Wang Yuanbao.
Please, your voice is neither arrogant nor impetuous.
