He Si ignored Wen Zehai's humble words and turned to leave.
At this time, Old Madam Wen finally arrived.
Even Wen Zehai, who had always obeyed the old lady in everything, showed anger in his eyes.
"Mother, why are you so slow? You made Eunuch He wait for so long!"
Not only was Eunuch He angry, but his colleagues had also seen him being so humble in front of a eunuch. When they got back, they didn't know how they would laugh at him behind his back.
When he thought of this, Wen Zehai's face became indescribably ugly.
Old Madam Wen didn't bother to explain. She picked up Wen Qianqian and came to He Si.
"Eunuch He, sorry to have kept you waiting..."
Eunuch He glanced at the old lady coldly.
"It doesn't matter if we wait for a while, but I'm afraid that if Your Majesty waits too long, not to mention you, even your entire Wen family won't be able to bear it!"
The old lady was so frightened that her legs went weak.
She was regretting what she had just done.
When I came here from Qu's yard, I should have listened to Qu and brought Wen Qianqian with me. Wouldn't it have been nice?
Now, it seems that this eunuch has held a grudge against her.
It's just that it's too late to regret now.
Old Madam Wen was originally a country peasant woman who was not good at speaking. She moved her lips but didn't know how to speak.
At this moment, Qu walked forward and bowed to He Si.
"Eunuch He, I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive my mother-in-law for what she did."
As Qu spoke, she stuffed the valuable jade bracelet in her hand into Eunuch He's hand.
She slipped the bracelet to Wen Zehai's colleagues behind their backs, giving both kilometer and face to Eunuch He.
Eunuch He immediately smiled happily and quickly put the bracelet into his sleeve pocket.
"Mrs. Wen, you are too polite. It's okay to wait for a while. I hope you can say a few good words for me in front of the Queen some other day."
"Of course. Eunuch He is diligent and hardworking, and the queen has also praised you."
Eunuch He was even happier.
"Now that everyone is here, let's announce the decree."
Everyone immediately took their positions and knelt down.
"Follow the sky..."
Wen Zehai knelt on the ground, trying hard to suppress the excitement in his heart.
Your Majesty is going to reward him!
What will Your Majesty reward him?
A ton of gold?
Or rare treasures?
Why didn't Your Majesty reward him in the court? That way, more colleagues would come to congratulate him.
However, the next moment, Eunuch He continued:
"Miss Wen Qianqian is smart, cute and lovable. I miss her very much..."
"Please invite Miss Wen to come to the palace to accompany me for half a day."
"Appreciate this..."
After Eunuch He finished speaking, he waited for Wen Zehai to receive the order on behalf of Wen Qianqian.
Wen Qianqian is still a child, so the person who can receive the order can only be Wen Zehai.
However, Eunuch He waited for a long time but Wen Zehai did not extend his hand.
He turned his head to look in confusion, only to see that Wen Zehai's eyes were wide open, but his pupils had shrunk to a dot, and he looked completely incredulous.
Eunuch He smiled.
Wen Zehai was so happy that his daughter, who was not even a month old, was loved by His Majesty that he was so excited that he didn't even notice the decree.
He had seen people who were so happy after receiving an imperial edict before, and he was no longer surprised by it.
"Master Wen?"
Eunuch He shouted, but Wen Zehai still did not respond.
His mind was full of thoughts:
How can it be?
Why not a reward?
Your Majesty, why did you bring a baby who is less than a month old into the palace instead of rewarding him with a loyal minister?
And the person His Majesty wants to pick up is Wen Qianqian.
Even if he does, the one he should pick up is Miaoxue, because Miaoxue is the one who is blessed with an invaluable destiny!
But why? Why was Wen Qianqian the one to be brought into the palace?
How could she be worthy of such an ordinary daughter born to Qu? !
Wen Zehai knelt blankly, immersed in his own world, until the eunuch He of the Qu family beside him coughed and reminded him in a low voice: "Husband, quickly accept the order."
Wen Zehai finally came to his senses and quickly stretched out his hands to receive the order.
However, he was very reluctant to accept this imperial edict.
"Hurry up, Lord Wen, Madam Wen, quickly dress up the fourth young lady so that we can carry her to see the emperor."
Qu responded and quickly took Wen Qianqian back to wash and dress up.
Wen Qianqian is good-looking and looks cute in any clothes, so she didn't choose deliberately and just picked one with comfortable fabric.
When Your Majesty held it in his arms, he felt that it had a good texture and was not rough or irritating.
While Qu was helping Wen Qianqian change her clothes, Wen Zehai also saw the guests off.
Mrs. Zou originally wanted to leave some words of advice to Qu, asking her to be more tolerant of her mother-in-law. After all, reputation is the most important thing.
Mrs. Zou was like this before. She talked back to her mother-in-law and earned the reputation of being an "unfilial shrew."
At that time, no one except Qu was willing to associate with her.
Later, she finally saw through it and began to serve her parents-in-law day and night. Her reputation gradually improved, and now she can finally hold her head high and attend banquets invited by various mansions.
She would always remember Qu's love for her, so she didn't want Qu to follow her old path and turn back only after getting hurt.
However, when Lord Zou saw that Madam Zou was hesitating and unwilling to leave, his face suddenly darkened.
"Come back with me now!"
Lord Zou warned in a voice that only the couple could hear: "If you don't go back now, you won't be able to come back!"
He couldn't stay in the Wen Mansion for even a moment.
Even though Wen Zehai's daughter was born in front of His Majesty's own eyes, he still looked down on the Wen family.
Before coming here, he would not have been willing to come if she hadn't said that she could provide a dowry for the daughter born to his second wife.
Lord Zou is very impatient with Mrs. Zou.
Mrs. Zou felt aggrieved, but she could only force herself to say, "I understand. I'll go back with you."
She had a smile on her face, but her heart was bleeding.
Her husband, who had once made a solemn promise to her, lost his patience with her just because she contradicted her harsh mother-in-law a few times.
Later, he took in several concubines, and her life became even more difficult.
The only thing she could count on was the generous dowry she would receive when she got married.
She also knew that if her dowry had not been generous, her husband would not even look at her.
But what can she do?
She chose the person herself, so she can only go ahead with it.
She could only hope that her eldest son would have something successful.
Unfortunately, her eldest son was still young and it was unclear whether he had any talent for studying.
So all she could do now was to endure and only endure.
After the guests left, Wen Zehai was pacing back and forth in annoyance.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to him and his eyes lit up instantly.
He asked Eunuch He to return to the palace to report first, so as not to keep His Majesty waiting anxiously.
After Eunuch He left, he immediately took Madam Wen to a corner where no one was and whispered, "Mother, listen to me and do what I say..."
