Watching Xie Boting and the crown prince of Song Dynasty leave Dali Temple, the minister of Dali Temple began to hope that something great would happen to the court and that the emperor would grant a general pardon and release the two giant Buddhas. The longer he was exiled, the more uneasy he became.
In the room, Su Tang was reading a book when Banxia came in with tea and said, "Prince Concubine, Princess Nankang fainted again."
Su Tang didn't even raise her eyelids. Not only did Princess Nankang faint, she also vomited blood twice these days. She had heard the same words so many times that she didn't even get surprised. She was already used to it.
Su Tang was flipping through the book and looking at it carefully. At this time, Hongling came quickly from outside and said with shining eyes, "Prince Concubine, someone from the palace sent a message, saying that the mutton-fat jade stone was brought to the palace early this morning.
, let you enter the palace to choose."
Last time when Eunuch Yuan came to read out the imperial edict conferring the title of Princess Protector on Su Tang, he said that when the mutton-fat jade was delivered to Beijing, she would be asked to select it first. Su Tang had been looking forward to this day, and finally it was here.
.
Su Tang couldn't wait to close the book and get down from the couch.
When she took Banxia to the gate of the palace, Chen Qing was already waiting there with a carriage.
Xie Boting was busy opening a wine shop and was not in the mansion. Banxia helped Su Tang get on the carriage and Chen Qing said, "I sent someone to find the prince."
Su Tang stopped her and refused to let go. She knew that Chen Qing was worried about her having an accident in the palace. However, Empress Song had already been deprived of the Phoenix Seal because of her lax imperial duties. She was also named a princess and was summoned to the palace again today.
The one who chooses the reward, no one dares to do anything to her.
Furthermore, Xie Boting could accompany her once, but he couldn't accompany her every time. The palace was not a dragon's den, and she could handle it.
Su Tang said no, and Chen Qing didn't insist. There was nothing to say about the Crown Princess's good luck, and the Emperor's love for the Crown Princess was nothing to say. Anyone who bullied the Crown Princess would be hitting the stone with an egg.
When Banxia also got on the carriage, Chen Qing sat on the shaft and drove the carriage into the palace. The father-in-law who came to deliver a message from the palace followed behind in the carriage.
After entering the palace, Su Tang got down from the carriage and sent a message to her father-in-law to take her to the royal stone room. Halfway there, a father-in-law came over quickly and saluted Su Tang, "The imperial concubine said so quickly, Eunuch Zhao also said.
I'm leading someone to place the jade stones so that you, the Crown Princess, can choose them later. Why don't you go and pay your respects to the Emperor first?"
Su Tang said calmly, "Pick up the imperial stone and go together to thank the emperor."
Su Tang raised her foot and moved forward. The young father-in-law took a few steps back and stopped him, "But, the imperial stone room is still very chaotic right now..."
The young father-in-law spoke a little hastily and panicked. Before Su Tang could say anything, Banxia was already angry. He put his hands on his hips and said, "I specially sent someone to Jingnan Palace to send a message to my eldest concubine. When my eldest concubine enters the palace, I will tell you what to do."
It’s not tidied up yet, do you need my princess to go back first and come back another day?!”
On this hot day, not to mention the imperial concubine, even she felt anxious from the sun. If she wanted to stop the carriage, she could just ask her to go see the emperor first. The imperial stone room and the imperial study room were not in the same direction. This was not intentional.
To entertain the concubines of her family?!
Ban Xia was angry and said something serious. The young father-in-law looked up at Su Tang and saw Su Tang's cold eyes. He was frightened and quickly lowered his head, "I don't dare."
"If you don't dare, just get out of the way," Banxia snorted.
The little father-in-law bravely got out of the way.
However, although the road was cleared, the walking speed of the two little father-in-laws obviously slowed down, obviously they were stalling for time.
If her guess was correct, someone should have gone to the Yushifang to choose jade before her. The father-in-law, who was in charge of the Yushifang, did not dare to offend and was afraid that she would be angry, so he diverted them away.
The imperial court found the jade vein using the method she taught. The emperor was very happy and specially gave her a favor, allowing her to choose a few pieces of jade first. This was what she deserved. The emperor sent word that if anyone dared to beat her to it, they said no.
If you deliberately argue with her, who will believe it?
Su Tang didn't like fighting, but no one else could take away the rights that belonged to her. She glanced at the two father-in-laws and said, "My father-in-law, if you have trouble with your legs and feet, sit down and rest for a while. Tell me where the Royal Stone Room is, and we, master and servant, will go there ourselves."
Being criticized for being too slow, the two father-in-laws stiffened their backs and said quickly, "The servants are afraid of tiring the Crown Princess. The royal stone room is not far ahead."
Su Tang said something serious, and his father-in-law walked faster. Not far from the imperial stone house, Su Tang caught several figures walking away. He couldn't see clearly who they were, but he could guess them with his toes.
