The journey was peaceful and Qi Wuyou and his party arrived safely at the imperial capital of Xuan State.
Lan Sheng has also returned to report the news.
He Zhaoyi, no, now it’s Madam He Yueyue.
He bought a four-story house in the north of the city and a shop not far away, planning to open a clinic, which was Mrs. He's childhood wish.
When she was young, due to the influence of her father He, she also liked medicine and had a talent for studying medicine.
The relic left by He's father to Mrs. He was a scroll recording everything she had learned throughout her life. After He's father passed away, she studied according to the scroll, and could cure injuries, headaches, and fevers.
But since she entered the palace at the age of thirteen, she has never touched him again.
After Xuan Yelan sent Qi Wuyou to the posthouse, he was about to leave when Qi Wuyou called him, "Your Majesty, don't forget your promise."
"Don't worry, I'm not a person who goes back on my word. Goodbye." Xuan Yelan turned around and wanted to leave.
Qi Wuyou thought of something else, "Your Majesty, can you please move inside? Yujia has something to say."
Qi Wuyou had been thinking from the beginning about how to make that dog emperor believe that He Zhaoyi was dead, and had no intention of telling Xuan Yelan.
But he would settle down in Xuanguo in the future, so if he didn't tell her now, he would have to tell her later. Moreover, if he asked her to help reply to the old emperor, the old man would not pursue the matter.
It would be even better if he could also arrange an identity for my mother.
Inside the room, Yuhua brought the brewed tea and gave it to Meixue before leaving and closing the door.
Mei Xue poured the tea and stepped aside to serve.
Xuan Yelan raised his eyebrows when he saw this. He thought: This Princess Yujia really does not hide anything from Mei Xue, and even keeps her by her side for confidential talks.
Xuan Yelan picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was a delicious cloud of mist.
It's a pity that Xuan Yelan, the ruler of a country, seldom drinks such good tea.
He had to admit that rich people were annoying.
Qi Wuyou glanced at Xuan Yelan and asked, "Your Majesty, do you like this tea?"
"Well, it's pretty good." Xuan Yelan admitted generously, "To be honest with you, Princess, tea tasting is one of my biggest hobbies." But he just doesn't have any good tea.
"Then give it to Your Majesty. I have a lot of this kind of tea. By the way, there is a tea garden in my dowry. I think this is what is planted there. There are others, but I don't know where they are. They are just on the outskirts of the city, not far away." Qi Wuyou said sincerely. She still liked to drink plain water. This tea was really not suitable for her.
"In that case, I'd better obey your order. Thank you, Princess." Xuan Yelan never refuses anything that comes to him. Why shouldn't I accept something you give to me? You don't know its value and are simply wasting a gift from God.
I can't help but wonder how many good things you have in your dowry.
"Princess, if you have anything to say, just say it." Xuan Yelan had a sincere smile on her face.
Qi Wuyou thought to himself: Money really makes the world go round. As long as the benefits are in place, everything can be discussed.
"To be honest, Yujia encountered two groups of assassins on the way here," Qi Wuyou paused, "The first time, the assassins wanted to kill Yujia but failed, so they kidnapped Yujia's mother."
Xuan Yelan also remembered at this time that there was news from the State of Qi that the princess's biological mother, Concubine Zhaoyi, would go north to see her off. He was wondering why he had not seen her. It seemed like he was being hijacked.
"Princess, do you want me to send someone to look for her? Don't worry, Princess, just paint the portrait of Concubine Zhaoyi first, and I will..."
"No," Qi Wuyou interrupted Xuan Yelan. Xuan Yelan didn't understand.
"I was the one who sent people to kidnap my mother." Qi Wuyou admitted frankly.
"Ah?" Xuan Yelan was surprised. Isn't it said that mother and daughter have a very good relationship?
"To be honest, Yujia knew that the Qi Kingdom would be destroyed sooner or later, so she originally planned to take her mother and flee far away."
Qi Wuyou took a sip of tea and continued, "But man proposes, God disposes. The imperial decree of marriage came suddenly, and Yujia had no choice. She planned to escape the marriage halfway. But the dowry assets were huge, and you can see that Yujia is a greedy person, so she stayed and let my mother go first." Qi Wuyou said this in a calm tone.
Since she chose to make a deal with Xuan Yelan, she had already considered confessing to him.
Qi Wuyou was considerate enough to give Xuan Yelan time to calm down, but Xuan Yelan was the emperor after all, and he quickly recovered.
"Is Empress Zhaoyi in the imperial capital now?" Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.
"Yes," Qi Wuyou nodded, "Yujia had originally planned to eventually settle down in the imperial capital of Xuan State."
"You want me to tell you that your father, Empress Zhaoyi, is dead, and then give her a household registration in the imperial capital and change her name." Xuan Yelan said.
"Your Majesty is wise." Qi Wuyou bowed deeply, "I hope Your Majesty will grant me this."
"I promise you," Xuan Yelan helped Qi Wuyou up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qi Wuyou thought to himself that etiquette in ancient times was really troublesome, as one had to kneel down at every turn.
Xuan Yelan suddenly remembered, "How old are you this year? Don't you have any other candidates for marriage in Qi?"
"I'm eleven years old, and I'll be coming of age in four years," Qi Wuyou replied. "Yujia has three older sisters who are unengaged and all have their own reasons, so I came here."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Xuan Yelan answered casually, as if the question just now was just asked casually and he didn't care about the answer.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. The envoys will come to see you tomorrow, and you..." When Xuan Yelan said this, his expression looked a little unnatural.
Qi Wuyou was puzzled and looked up at him.
Caught off guard, Xuan Yelan looked away and said, "Tomorrow, I will issue the imperial decree for the conferment of the title. You should pack up and prepare to enter the palace."
"Okay," Qi Wuyou nodded.
Xuan Yelan left.
The next day, Qi Wuyou, wearing a veil and gorgeous clothes, went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with He Yun to meet the emperor.
As soon as Qi Wuyou came in, the ministers began to whisper.
What they were talking about was simply why the State of Qi allowed her, a young child, to marry into the Qi Kingdom, and why this envoy, who did not seem to hold a high official position.
Is this a mockery of your Majesty's youth? Does Qi State take us seriously?
The ministers were filled with righteous indignation and stared at Wang Ke and Qi Wuyou.
If looks could kill, they would both have been stabbed to pieces.
"Silence." The chief eunuch Liu He beside Xuan Yelan took out the imperial edict.
"My Lords, please accept my order," the ministers knelt on the ground.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Princess Yujia of Qi is gentle, upright, respectful, and virtuous, and has a good moral character. She is well-versed in etiquette and moral education, kind-hearted, modest, and obedient. She is the model mother of the world. I hereby appoint you as Empress with the golden seal. You will take up residence in the Central Palace from today, and an auspicious day will be chosen for the ceremony of enthronement. I decree this!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Qi Wuyou was also stunned. Didn't we agree to give me a random position? Now that I'm the queen, will it be easy for me to leave the palace in the future? And are those words referring to me? I didn't even know I was so outstanding.
Before the ministers could finish their speeches, Lu Yu spoke first, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. Long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years for the queen."
Qi Wuyou: (⊙_☉)
Ministers: (⊙_☉)
You are worthy of being me, Lord Lu, Qi Wuyou complained in his heart, otherwise you two are good brothers. Your singing of the same tune directly confirms the fact that I am the queen.
Who dared to oppose these two people, one emperor and one prime minister? They could only shout: Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and a thousand years and a thousand years of live the queen.
Qi Wuyou: You compromise so easily, at least object. Do you people have any backbone? Ah, I don't want to be the queen. By the way, Xuan Yelan doesn't even have a queen at this age.
All the ministers: If you can do it, you can do it yourself. A real man can bend and stretch. It’s better not to have such backbone.
