When Consort Yun gave the order, Zhang Yuan was overjoyed. He quickly had someone take away the meat on the table and had someone order the imperial kitchen to make some vegetables. Then, seeing that the meat on the table had been replaced with vegetables, he looked at Tianwu with a smile and said: "How is it? This servant can't control you, but someone can!"
Tianwu had drunk a bit of wine before, and now that the alcohol had kicked in, his courage grew. He slammed the table on the spot: "How does she know what we are eating? What, the imperial concubines in the harem are all so capable now that they dare to place spies by our side? Go, call all the servants in Heavenly Palace over. We must solve this case today and see who the spy is! "
He had drunk too much and was making a ruckus, but Zhang Yuan was not moved at all. He just stood there and did not say anything. The palace maid from Winter Moon Palace bowed to the emperor and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Her Highness smelled the fishy smell of the meat here, so she called this servant over to take a look. Her Highness also said that Your Majesty will definitely say that she planted a spy here, but so what if she did? This is her Highness' concern for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty does not care, then we will withdraw. "
Tianwu immediately stopped playing and waved his hand: "We won't withdraw, we won't withdraw. It's good that you care, it's good that you care. How about you send a few more people over? How about this? Aside from Little Yuanzi, everyone else in this Universal Palace will be replaced with people from Winter Moon Palace. How about that? " Go back and ask your Highness if it's okay. If it's okay, then we will do it today. "
Zhang Yuan stood on the side and rolled his eyes, "You might as well replace this servant as well. This servant still wants to serve Consort Yun and does not want to stay in Heavenly Palace."
"Shut up." Tianwu did not give him any face, "Even if you die, you will die in Heavenly Palace for us. Stop talking nonsense." Then he looked hopefully at the palace maid.
In the end, the little palace maid shook her head. "No, we don't have that many servants over there, not to mention that they are all palace maids. Could it be that Your Majesty wishes for more young women to serve you? "
The Emperor nearly bit his tongue. How could he not say anything like this? He looked at Feng Yu Heng with a pleading gaze, and Feng Yu Heng helplessly spoke up for him: "Father Emperor's meaning is that he is very happy that imperial concubine mother is thinking of him and is able to send someone to take care of him at all times. I'll have to trouble Miss to inform Imperial Mother that Imperial Father's meat dishes have been removed and replaced with vegetables. In a while, His Highness and I will go over to pay our respects to Imperial Mother. "
That palace maid smiled and nodded, "Her Highness is waiting for Your Highness and the Princess." After saying this, she bowed to Tianwu before retreating.
Tianwu let out a long sigh. Looking at the table full of vegetables, he had lost his appetite. Xuan Tianming had become spirited, as he ordered Zhang Yuan to give Tianwu a bite of each dish. Seeing that Tianwu had eaten them all, he nodded, "It's good that you've eaten. Otherwise, when Imperial Mother asks about it later, there would be nothing to say. No wonder you've put on so much weight over the past few months. It turns out that you've been eating like this every day. Aren't you afraid … "He asked Feng Yu Heng:" What is that illness called again? "
Feng Yu Heng said: "Three types of high blood pressure! High blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood fat. "
"Right!" Xuan Tianming nodded, "It's an incurable illness. Do as you see fit!" After saying this, he did not wait for Tianwu to reply, as he suddenly said to Zhang Yuan: "Have someone call that Yuan … now, Noble Lady, right? Invite Noble Lady Yuan over. Just say that His Highness the Eighth Prince entrusted I with bringing something to her. "
Zhang Yuan received the order and left. Tianwu frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction: "Wouldn't it be fine to just have a servant deliver it? What's the point of calling her over?"
"Consort Yuanshu has become a noble lady. She's also considered a newcomer. Let's meet and take a look." Xuan Tianming shrugged and coldly said, "I heard that during the time that I was away from the capital, they caused quite a bit of trouble for Heng Heng."
Tianwu laughed, "Don't worry. Your wife won't be bullied. We will support her." After saying this, he glanced at Feng Yu Heng, "Isn't that right?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "Yes, father Emperor is very supportive of daughter-in-law."
Tianwu was happy and drank another two cups. Not long later, Noble Lady Yuan arrived. When she arrived, she was a little flustered. Upon seeing Tianwu, she quickly kneeled and emotionally said: "This concubine greets Your Majesty. Your Majesty called me in time, and this concubine did not have a chance to get dressed. Would Your Majesty please not blame me."
Tianwu did not even look at her, as he very familiarly picked out the meat that was to go with the vegetables, only saying: "Wear what you like. We are not in the mood to look. The one that called you over today was not Us. It was Eighth Brother. He entrusted old ninth with something for you. You just need to tell him. "
Noble Lady Yuan had an awkward expression; however, it was not good for her to flare up. She could only stand up and look at Xuan Tianming to politely say: "Did Ming's trip go smoothly?"
How could Xuan Tianming be in the mood to exchange pleasantries with her. He just stared at her with great interest for a while then asked in confusion: "Noble Lady, what do you call I? Ming? "He then asked Zhang Yuan in confusion:" When did our Dashun change the rules? Can the noble ladies in the palace directly call the princes by their names? "
Dashun had a rule. When the princes saw the members of the imperial harem, they should call them imperial concubine mother, but this was only limited to the position of imperial concubine. It did not include people like noble ladies. On the other hand, when noble ladies and noble ladies saw the princes, they still needed to respectfully call them "Your Highness." Noble Lady Yuan had stood here today and openly called Xuan Tianming "Ming." Everyone knew that she had become accustomed to being a Consort Yuanshu for over 20 years. She had yet to change the way she addressed him, but breaking the rules was breaking the rules. Nobody would think about why she had broken them. Now that Xuan Tianming had asked about it, Noble Lady Yuan stood in place and was dazed. Her legs trembled, as she immediately kneeled: "Your Majesty, this concubine misspoke."
Emperor Tianwu still did not intend to speak, as he poured himself another cup of wine. Noble Lady Yuan saw that this path was not going to work and quickly said to Xuan Tianming: "Would His Ninth Highness please forgive me."
Xuan Tianming nodded, only saying: "It's good that you know your mistake." However, he did not tell her to stand up, as he continued: "I went South this time and met with eighth brother a few times. Eighth brother is very satisfied with the marriage that Noble Lady Yuan arranged for him. He also entrusted I with bringing a message to Noble Lady, saying that he will definitely treat the Lu Family's young miss well, and he will bring his wife along to be filial to Noble Lady. Also, eighth brother brought back quite a few rare items from the South and entrusted I with bringing them back ahead of time. A portion will be given to Noble Lady, and some will be given to the Lu Family's young miss. The things have already been placed outside the hall by servants. When Noble Lady returns in a while, there will naturally be servants that will bring them back to the palace. Alright, I will bring them back on behalf of eighth brother. Noble Lady, it's not convenient for you to remain here for too long. You can go back now. "
After saying this, her heart had been stabbed, and she had felt even more stifled. After saying this, she immediately chased her out. Noble Lady Yuan felt as though a mouthful of blood was about to be coughed up, but she did her best to suppress it. At the same time, she repeatedly thought to herself about how Feng Jin Yuan's "family of three" would definitely perform after arriving in the South. Only then was she able to calm down a little. But no matter how she tried to calm down, she was still flustered. She then looked at Xuan Tianming's appearance, then looked at Feng Yu Heng's appearance, and Emperor Tianwu's appearance, which only knew how to eat and drink. Noble Lady Yuan suddenly felt that kneeling here was truly unnecessary! That family of three was so harmonious. Why was it that kneeling here made her look like a fox spirit that the old man was raising?
Just as she realized that she was a fox spirit, on the other side, Tianwu spoke up and said to Xuan Tianming: "This dish is pretty good. In a while, have the imperial kitchen make another one. When you go over, bring it to your imperial concubine mother. She will definitely like it. We remember that in the past, there would be that sort of wild vegetable in the mountains, and your imperial concubine mother really likes it. When Spring comes, if you have some free time, go into the mountains and pick some for her to relieve her longing. "
Xuan Tianming nodded and did not say anything. It was Feng Yu Heng that spoke up: "Father Emperor, don't worry. Once Spring comes and we enter the fourth month, the wild vegetables will begin to appear. When that time comes, even if His Highness does not have time, Cheng Heng will bring people to pick them. I will then tell imperial concubine mother. This was given by Father Emperor. Imperial Concubine mother will definitely be happy to hear about it."
Tianwu was so happy that he could not close his mouth, as he repeatedly praised Feng Yu Heng for being sensible and likable. The three sat around the table, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Zhang Yuan glanced at Noble Lady Yuan then leaned closer to ask her: "Noble Lady, why have you not left yet? What are you waiting for while kneeling here?"
Noble Lady Yuan immediately recovered and fiercely glared at Zhang Yuan. She then kowtowed to Tianwu and quickly left the hall without saying a word.
Outside Heavenly Hall, the servants that Xuan Tianming had brought into the palace were waiting there with a pile of gifts. Upon seeing Noble Lady Yuan come out, they quickly went forward to salute then quietly followed behind her into the palace. In truth, Noble Lady Yuan really wanted to throw these things away, but when she thought about it, in any case, they were things that her son had prepared for her. She could not bear to throw them away, thus she could only swallow her anger and accept them. But after she returned to her own palace, no matter how she thought about it while sitting there, she could not feel good. Looking at the things that had been brought back from the South, she could not throw them away. They were an eyesore. Even if Fu Ya and the others had rushed to the South, this anger was still hard to swallow.
Yue Xiu advised her: "Master, endure it for a while and everything will be fine. Either way, it will be the new year in just over a dozen days. His Highness the eighth prince is also on his way back to the capital. When His Highness returns, everything will be fine."
"Hmph." Noble Lady Yuan snorted coldly, "What sort of situation is it right now? I don't even dare to send out a letter, fearing that something will happen along the way. When the new year comes, His Majesty will be sanctioning a marriage between Mo 'er and that girl from the Lu Family. When that time comes, what should be done? "
"Master." Yue Xiu took a step forward and quietly said: "In the end, sanctioning a marriage still requires both of them to be present. Only then can His Majesty grant it. It's not good for His Highness to make an appearance, and Prime Minister Lu from the Lu Family to make an appearance. Otherwise, this matter would have already been decided on that day at the hunting ground. That's why, if we want to mess up this marriage or delay it, we will need to start from there. "
"How will we start?" Noble Lady Yuan frowned and said: "At this time, Mo 'er is already on his way. Could it be that we can have him go back the way he came? Moreover, it's not safe for us to send out a letter. Last time, the contents of the letter were changed. Who knows just how many people are waiting to be robbed along the way. "
"Master." Yue Xiu gently tugged at her, "We don't necessarily have to set our sights on His Highness the eighth prince's side! Isn't there still the Lu Family's young miss? How about we … "
