Chapter 133 My 26 Male Servant 8
If Jiang Piao didn't do this often, Yao Shu would have no choice but to do this in order to maintain her image.
Fu Shuyu said shyly, "As long as your majesty has me in your heart, I will have no regrets in my life as long as your majesty has said this."
Yao Shu nodded and whispered, "I will help you take off these jewelry first."
Yao Shu took off Fu Shuyu's jewelry one by one according to her memory, but she did not do the last step of taking off her clothes.
Fu Shuyu waited for Yao Shu to undress him, but Yao Shu did not continue.
Turning his head, he saw Yao Shu taking off her coat and said to him, "I have been busy with government affairs recently and want to rest early."
After saying that, Yao Shu pulled her husband Shuyu to the bed and lay down in her clothes.
Fu Shuyu looked at Yao Shu who had gone to bed early and wanted to say something but stopped herself. Seeing that Yao Shu had dark circles under her eyes, she could only shut her mouth and go to sleep in frustration.
The next day, Yao Shu left early.
Gu Yuan was waiting in Zhongcui Palace with the imperial edict in hand, while Fu Shuyu put on her clothes and knelt in front of the main hall.
Gu Yuan opened the imperial edict and read: "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims:
Zhonglang's wife Shu Yuxiu is intelligent both inside and outside, virtuous and kind, and is deeply loved by me.
Now you are canonized as the Lord, given the name Lan, and granted the residence of Chenghuan Palace. From now on, you are called Lord Lan.
"It is Lan Jun's birthday today. I will reward you with a thousand taels of silver, a pair of white jade hairpins with eight-treasure clusters of pearls, a white jade three-inlaid blessing and longevity ruyi, a half-moon-shaped comb inlaid with coral, tortoise shell and beeswax, a pair of jadeite and ginkgo earrings, a pair of red gold ring bead nine-turn exquisite bracelets... a pair of Dongling jade twisted silk hairpins. I decree this!"
Fu Shuyu kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Fu Shuyu stretched out her hand to take the imperial edict, and Gu Yuan handed it to Fu Shuyu.
Gu Yuan smiled and congratulated him: "Congratulations, Lan Junlang, on your promotion. From now on, Lan Junlang will be able to visit His Majesty at the Yangxin Palace."
Fu Shuyu smiled bitterly. She didn't even sleep with him but still gave him a reward. What did this mean?
The maidservant next to her brought a reward, a heavy box was placed in front of Fu Shuyu, and she opened it. It was filled with silver ingots neatly arranged inside.
Fu Shuyu pretended to be calm, took out two silver ingots and stuffed them into Gu Yuan's hands, and said expectantly: "Thank you, Aunt Gu Yuan, for sending the imperial edict.
I hope Aunt Gu Yuan can mention me more often in front of His Majesty, so that His Majesty can care about me."
Gu Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, then put away his smile the next second and nodded seriously, saying: "Don't worry, Lan Junlang, His Majesty is always worried about you."
Fu Shuyu smiled and said, "With aunt's words, I feel relieved."
Gu Yuan said: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Lan. I have other things to do, so I will take my leave now."
Gu Yuan left with four maids, and Fu Shuyu sighed sadly.
Jiang Piao was unable to become her husband before he ascended the throne, and it was difficult for him to even see her in the palace.
Yao Shu sat on the dragon throne in the court, watching the officials below fighting to the death.
"Of course, the eldest prince should be made the crown prince. He is of legitimate birth and naturally intelligent. Who else should we choose if not her?"
The person who said this was Shi He, Marquis of Changdong and the chief minister of the second rank. At this moment, her face was flushed, her eyes were wide open, and veins bulged on her forehead.
The person confronting Fu Shihe was Meng Qianqiu's mother, General Meng Zuoxi, who was so angry that she threw a tablet at him.
Fu Shihe was so scared that he squatted down with his head in his hands. He saw a hard board hitting the pillar. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards Meng Zuoxi's position.
As a result, a huge fist came towards him, hitting Fu Shihe so hard that stars appeared in his eyes and a hot current rushed up his nose.
The officials who supported Fu Shihe behind her hurriedly helped her up. Seeing her mother-in-law being beaten, Yao Shu calmly drank tea on the dragon chair.
Meng Zuoxi snorted coldly, and continued to raise his fist and swung at Fu Shihe, beating and cursing: "Sitting on the throne is not just relying on the position of queen, but also relying on the queen's talent and character.
What? Are you questioning whether my grandson is legitimate? Isn't that the same as questioning whether the emperor should sit on the throne?"
Fu Shihe broke out in a cold sweat, and an idea suddenly occurred to him. He immediately started to curse: "What nonsense are you talking about, old man? Everything you see is dirty!"
Meng Zuoxi sneered after hearing this, pointed his finger at Fu Shihe's nose and yelled, "My heart? I think your heart is even dirtier.
They are jumping to conclusions while the second prince is still a child, and want to support the eldest prince to take the throne."
Jiang Xi, who was standing aside, seemed to be participating in the debate, but in fact his face was expressionless and no one knew what he was thinking.
Yao Shu glanced at Jiang Qian and finished drinking the fine Longjing tea.
Le Xin walked forward, took the empty cup of tea and left.
Yao Shu stood up and stretched out her hand to appease the ministers: "Okay, I have made up my mind.
The eldest prince will be appointed as the crown prince, and the enthronement ceremony will be held one month later."
The ministers all looked at Yao Shu, and the ministers from the Second Prince's party all knelt down in opposition.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. Right now, the number of heirs to the throne is low, so it is not the best time to appoint a crown prince."
"Your Majesty, the second prince is smarter than the eldest prince. He could speak eloquently at the age of three and composed two poems at the age of five, which amazed everyone.
Although the eldest prince is talented, the second prince is more talented in comparison."
"His Majesty……"
Yao Shu threw her hands and sat back on the dragon chair, impatiently saying: "Enough, are you the emperor, or am I the emperor?"
Meng Zuoxi was unwilling to give in and asked again: "Your Majesty, I do not agree..."
"Shut up, how about you be the emperor?"
Yao Shu stood up, walked forward, pointed at the dragon throne behind her and asked back, looking at the officials below with a grim face.
Meng Zuoxi kept silent, and the other officials looked at each other in silence.
Yao Shu turned her head and glanced at Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan came to the middle of the hall and squatted down to salute.
Yao Shu said: "I have spoken to you personally. The eldest prince, Concubine Jiang, is extremely intelligent, talented, benevolent and filial, and is now canonized as the crown prince.
The Crown Prince will move to the Palace of Mental Cultivation and be cared for by me personally. The enthronement ceremony will be held at the end of next month.
I have finished speaking, and the court is dismissed! The noise is as noisy as a market."
Yao Shu left with a flick of her sleeves, while Gu Yuan kowtowed to the dragon throne and accepted the order: "I accept the order. Long live the emperor."
The entire court knelt on the ground to bid farewell to Yao Shu: "Farewell, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
Yao Shu left the court and went for a walk in the imperial garden after the imperial meal, where she met Feng Jun and his husband Bei Min who were looking at the lotus flowers.
Behind Fu Beimin followed a handsome man in blue clothes. He was a merchant whom Jiang Piao brought back to the palace during her secret visit. His name was Rang Xingyan.
Because Rang Xingyan looked like the deceased king, Jiang Piao broke the palace rules and directly conferred him the rank of sixth-rank handsome man, which caused dissatisfaction among many of the king's servants.
The last person with the best family background and who was shortlisted for a formal talent show was Fu Shuyu, and her highest rank was only the seventh.
Many servants went to provoke Rang Xingyan, such as the arrogant Meng Qianqiu and her lackey Gongzi Yan Yanv.
Rang Xingyan has a beautiful face like a jade flower, graceful and charming, and wears a precious red gold and agate begonia flower hairpin on her Lingxu bun.
Two golden hairpins were inserted in her hair, and a pure yellow crystal pendant made her face look as delicate as jade.
But her eyes were firm, unlike Fu Shuyu's obsessed look.
Yao Shu walked behind Fu Beimin and said with a smile, "The Queen is really leisurely and elegant. She came here early in the morning to appreciate the lotus flowers."
Fu Beimin and Rang Xingyan behind him saw Yao Shu bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, I greet you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."
