It was a eunuch who came, but he was the most powerful eunuch in front of Concubine Hui. Something like running water was sent in, which shocked everyone.
Qiao Yurong quietly tugged at the corner of Qiao Yuyan's clothes, "Brother-in-law's family is too proud! What kind of trouble is this? Are you giving you something again?"
Qiao Yuyan shook her head at her, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
When the eunuch read out the Queen's decree, everyone was shocked.
Qiao Weisheng frowned. After sending away the eunuch who announced the decree, he read the decree up and down several times before finally confirming that what it said was true.
"Yayi... is married to Concubine Hui?!" Mrs. Xu also looked at Na Yizhi in disbelief, "How... could it be so sudden?"
The Empress's edict only said in general terms that Aunt Pei and Concubine Hui had the same ideals.
But Qiao Yuyan knew it wouldn't be that simple, and she couldn't help but feel regretful.
After what happened in her previous life, how could she still be so careless?
She should know very well what kind of people that mother and daughter are.
Even if Qiao Yuning had no chance of turning over now, mother and daughter would never give up like this.
Finally, he suddenly proposed that he should go to Zhuangzi to stay for a few days. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives.
Congeniality? How is that possible?
I don’t know if it was because of Princess Jiahe’s incident that the emperor in the palace was very cold towards Concubine Xian, while Concubine Hui was almost the only one in the family.
As for the Empress of the Middle Palace, she has been just a puppet for so many years. She has no ability to please the emperor, nor does she have a son or a half of a daughter, and her mother's family is also very ordinary.
Although such an edict was issued by the Queen, it was actually Hui Fei's intention.
It is even possible that he asked the Holy Spirit for instructions.
Qiao Yuyan felt as if a big stone was pressing on her chest, and before her eyes she saw them getting up again.
Aunt Pei and Qiao Yuning came back in the afternoon.
She was the one who originally proposed to stay at Zhuangzi for a while, but she wasn't sent there as a punishment, so she naturally came back when she wanted.
Pei Yayi was still the same as before, with a humble expression on her face, and she presented herself to the old lady, Qiao Weisheng and Mrs.
Such responsibility.
After all, Qiao Yuning still hadn't mastered her cultivation. When she came back this time, she seemed to have completely washed away the humiliation she had suffered before. She raised her head high, almost holding her chin to look at people.
The old lady nodded casually and knew that they were back. She showed almost no interest in the relationship between their mother and daughter and Concubine Hui, and turned around and returned to Ninghe Hall.
Qiao Yuning was so angry that she gritted her teeth and smiled.
Mrs. Xu asked about Aunt Pei, "Someone came to the palace this morning. It was the Empress who issued the decree. How come you and Concubine Hui became sisters of the opposite sex?"
As soon as Mrs. Xu finished speaking, Qiao Weisheng said in a deep voice: "You didn't even tell your family about such a big thing. Today, the whole family was shocked by the palace. What do you mean?
?!"
When Aunt Pei heard this, she immediately knelt down and her eyes were red, "Cousin, don't be angry. It's not that Yayi deliberately concealed it, but... it involves Concubine Hui's personal affairs, and I really don't want to."
Dare to spread the word at will, but dare not send news home."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Xu was very puzzled when she heard this.
Pei Yayi seemed to be thinking about what to say, and after a long while she said: "During this period, I took the three girls to live in Zhuangzi. I originally thought that mother and daughter could live freely for a while.
Secondly, I also wanted to teach our girl to cultivate her mind, so from time to time I would take the second girl to Yuehua Temple to pay homage. Unexpectedly, one day I met Empress Hui Fei coming out incognito.
She encountered a little trouble there, and I just happened to catch up and help out, but I can't talk about the trouble..."
She looked at Mrs. Xu timidly, seeming a little worried.
Xu said: "Since it involves a noble person's private matters, naturally we can't say it casually."
She glanced at Qiao Weisheng, and then asked: "So, you became sisters because you helped Concubine Hui?"
Aunt Pei nodded quickly, "Yes."
Qiao Weisheng sneered, "What you said is untrue. Concubine Hui is a member of the Heavenly Family. If we meet someone who can help, it would be our honor. If the concubine wants to thank you, I can give you whatever you want."
That’s it, how come there is such a thing as being sisters of the opposite sex?”
Aunt Pei hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Everything I said is true. As for why Concubine Hui made such an arrangement, I don't dare to ask. If my cousin wants to know, I can try to write a letter to the palace and ask.
ask……"
"Come on!" Qiao Weisheng stood up and looked at her condescendingly, "This is the noble arrangement. We, as ministers, naturally cannot question you. If you use this as a shield, I have nothing to say, but..."
He looked at the woman on the ground coldly, "You have to take care of yourself!"
After saying that, without waiting for Aunt Pei to speak, she strode out.
Qiao Yuning looked at her father's retreating figure and did not look back for a while. Qiao Yuyan could clearly see the resentment on her face.
This made Qiao Yuyan feel very uncomfortable. Looking at Qiao Yuyan at this time really felt like looking at a poisonous snake. She seemed to never have a heart.
"Okay, since the master said this, we won't ask any more questions. You guys are tired from traveling, so go back and rest first!" Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand, and Qiao Yuyan quickly helped her stand up.
Qiao Yuning spoke at this time, "Mom, I haven't had a good talk with you for a long time. Let me help you go back!"
Xu did not speak, but turned to look at Qiao Yuning, his eyes falling directly on her face.
It wasn't until Qiao Yuning felt uncomfortable that Mrs. Xu said calmly, "Just stay in Wutong Garden and wait for your marriage!"
It means that I don't want to talk to her at all.
Qiao Yuyan calmed down and helped Xu out.
Qiao Yuning in the back could only clench her molars and stare at the backs of the mother and daughter.
It wasn't until everyone in the room was gone that Aunt Pei slowly stood up, then pulled her daughter's clothes, "Okay, everyone is gone, let's go back too!"
Only then did the resentment on Qiao Yuning's face show, "What does this mean? Now I can call the Flying Empress my aunt, but they still have this attitude! Are they too arrogant? Don't you know that this is offending?
Royalty?"
Then he said harshly: "Even the servants in this family still look at us like that. Do they treat us as the Queen and the Queen has just given us a blank piece of paper?"
Aunt Pei just smiled faintly at her daughter's dissatisfaction, "Okay, let's go back first! After two days, they will change their attitude."
