After talking to the Queen Mother for a long time, Fu Mingyu waited for the Queen Mother for dinner and went to bed before returning to her room.
Growing up, she kept all the rewards given to her by various palaces. It was not because she was saving, but because she was in the palace and she had no place to spend money. After more than ten years, she has obviously become a little rich woman!
For the Queen Mother's sake, all the palaces spent a lot of money, not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also calligraphy, painting and antiques.
Now that the Queen Mother has said that she will be released from the palace, she must take all these things with her.
Fu Mingyu spent almost a sleepless night registering all these things for easy counting and safekeeping.
The next day, the Empress Dowager summoned her, and Mrs. Dingguo brought her two girls, Qin Zhiyi and Qin Zhixiang, into Ci'an Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.
The two girls from the Qin family are twins, similar in age to Fu Mingyu, but a few months younger than Fu Mingyu. They both wear the same red dress and look very bright and lively.
Both girls have been practicing martial arts since they were young. They have strong postures and a graceful walk. Compared with other noble girls in Dongdu, they have a different look.
The Empress Dowager liked it and rewarded her with many things, including not only tapestry from the south of the Yangtze River, but also Shu embroidery from the middle of Shu, a pair of horses carved from white jade, two luminous pearls, twelve pairs of gold hairpins, and gold for each person.
One hundred taels.
For two little girls with no merit, such a reward is too valuable!
Mrs. Dingguo felt that her two girls deserved it, but then she thought about it, the Queen Mother was thanking that little bastard in her family for saving Miss Fu in disguise yesterday!
Because it was said yesterday that Zheng Wenxuan was a molesting palace maid, the Queen Mother could not reward Qin Rui too much. Giving Qin Rui's sister today is giving face to the Duke's palace and to Qin Rui.
The Queen Mother also rewarded three horses that came as tribute from the Western Regions, two of which were given to the little girls of the Qin family, and a bloody horse to Fu Mingyu.
The mother and daughter of the Qin family also had lunch in Ci'an Palace and did not leave until noon.
The news spread throughout the palace at once.
Naturally, the Queen immediately knew that the Queen Mother had given so many things to the Qin family. She was so angry that she almost broke the corner of her chair. "Aren't you not taking sides?" the Queen scolded, "I don't have anything here like the Queen Mother.
Does the immortal thing smell good?"
The queen originally had a reward yesterday, but Mrs. Dingguo rejected it because she had no merit and no reward.
And today, Duke Dingguo's wife took the reward from the Queen Mother, which is a slap in the Queen's face.
"Auntie! The Queen Mother met with Mrs. Dingguo yesterday, and today she summoned her daughter. Are they attracted to Qin Rui?" Zhou Meijuan asked unhappily.
The queen's expression condensed, this is possible!
Zheng Wenxuan is on his last legs now. There were rumors yesterday that he was teasing a palace maid. Although the Queen knew at a glance that the person Zheng Wenxuan was teasing must be Fu Mingyu, everyone on the Queen Mother side agreed that no one had seen who Zheng Wenxuan was teasing.
And Zheng Wenxuan received a hundred sticks in front of the guards for molesting a palace maid.
Even though she was beaten, she, as a queen, could no longer overturn the Queen Mother's statement. Besides, it was a good thing that the Queen Mother beat Zheng Wenxuan. Today, she sent someone to Andinghou Mansion to deliver medicine.
The Marquis of Anding was originally neutral, but now that he has been beaten with a hundred sticks by the Queen Mother, he is afraid that he will turn to his side!
As long as the Anding Hou Mansion no longer helps the prince, then his son will have more help!
"Do you like Qin Rui?" the queen asked Zhou Meijuan.
Zhou Meijuan's face turned red, "Auntie, what are you talking about?" She immediately became nervous.
Qin Rui's appearance is really unbeatable. Zhou Meijuan and Fu Mingyu are different. Fu Mingyu is trapped in the harem all day and never goes out, but Zhou Meijuan travels all over the capital. She knows almost all the children of rich and noble families. It's really not like that.
A person's life is better than Qin Rui's!
In terms of appearance alone, Qin Rui is already top notch!
"What did you say?" Seeing that her niece was so coquettish and showing off her daughterly attitude, the queen also laughed, "What do you say? Don't you understand what I am saying?"
"Then we have to see what Qin Rui means!" Zhou Meijuan twisted her waist and said with a blushing face.
"If you really fall in love with him, just let him be happy with you. If you don't like it, you have to let me be happy with you!" the queen said domineeringly.
"Auntie, why don't you call him into the palace again and let me take a look?" Zhou Meijuan said tentatively.
"What do you think this is? Is it possible to enter the harem just by asking foreign men to join?" The queen glared.
"Oh." Zhou Meijuan responded a little disappointed.
"But don't worry, the eldest princess of Taixing likes to organize things the most." The queen smiled, "I will call her into the palace later and ask her to hold a meeting in her princess mansion and invite everyone to watch it.
That’s it.”
"That's a good relationship!" Zhou Meijuan's eyes lit up, "Thank you, aunt!"
Qin Rui is good-looking, but his temper... Zhou Meijuan went home and asked about it. Qin Rui is a master who will take action if there is a disagreement. According to Qin Rui, he will never solve things that can be solved with fists.
Say half a sentence more!
If such a violent man really becomes her husband, what if he beats her after getting married?
Although she has the support of the queen, Qin Rui is also the son of Duke Dingguo after all!
Zhou Meijuan was a little scared when she thought about it. She was not a brainless girl and would not be dazzled by a man's beauty all at once. It was better to take a closer look at Qin Rui. After all, rumors were just rumors.
The queen summoned Princess Taixing, and the queen mother also put the arrangements for Fu Mingyu out of the palace on the agenda.
Now that you have decided to let the little girl go out and be independent, don't let her mother-in-law be reluctant to let her go.
The Queen Mother was not an indecisive person to achieve her current position. She immediately found a branch of the Fu family left in the capital. Calculating her seniority, she should be Fu Mingyu's cousin.
He is still serving in the capital and is a member of the Hanlin Academy. Such an insignificant official position can be regarded as an idle job.
When Fu Yucheng heard that Fu Mingyu was about to leave the palace and live in his house, he was extremely happy.
He had the best relationship with Fu Mingyu's father at the beginning. Even when her father was almost kicked out of the Fu family and got married independently, Fu Yucheng was the one who quietly went to congratulate her.
Later, Fu Mingyu's parents died in the war, and it was Fu Yucheng who went to the border to bring back their coffins and Fu Mingyu himself.
So when Fu Yucheng heard the news, he immediately ordered people to clean out the best courtyard in the house and counted on his fingers until Fu Mingyu came to live there.
