Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 370 Grade 2 Imperial Order

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The old lady raised her head. This was the first time she saw the emperor.

The emperor nodded to her.

She even felt that the emperor had smiled at her just now.

However, her grandson-in-law looks really good, and the old man in the family did not lie to her.

She looked at the granddaughter behind the emperor again. Huang Ye winked at her grandmother mischievously, and the old lady felt relieved.

Just based on the tone of the emperor defending her just now, her granddaughter will not suffer any harm in the palace.

"Your Majesty, I was sitting peacefully with my wife when the Lady of Changning came up to me and mocked me for coming to the palace to get something for free."

The old lady told the truth.

"I wonder how Madam Bo knew this? My grandmother came to the palace to ask for money."

Huang Ye was angry.

This lady of the earl's family is too humiliating. Although their family is not a top-level noble, they are not at the point of begging for food in the palace.

Mrs. Bo was a very arrogant person and she could not stand the series of questions from Concubine Ye.

"To say that you are taking advantage of others is an understatement. Aren't you able to attend this palace banquet only because you have a favorite concubine in the palace?"

She gasped.

"If it wasn't her."

Her finger trembled as she pointed at the yellow leaves.

"If it weren't for her, you wouldn't know where you would be spending the New Year."

"My sister has an imperial decree, and she came here because of an invitation from the palace. How can she not attend the palace banquet?"

Marquis Weiyuan couldn't help it.

He stood up from his seat in the men's room to support his sister.

He blamed his old wife in his heart.

If she had come today, why would a grown man like him have to intervene in this woman's quarrel?

"Your Majesty, Madam Bo also said that we are only fit to starve at the door."

Chen boldly filed a complaint.

Huang Ye looked at her mother with approval.

She, the crybaby mother, finally dared to stand up straight and speak in front of so many people.

"is it?"

The Emperor looked at Lady Bo.

"I wonder what grandma means by these words?"

"That means you look down on Concubine Ye's family and are looking for trouble with them."

Little Prince Fu knows how to summarize.

"Cough cough..."

The emperor started coughing.

Eunuch Ai supported him at the right time.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Emperor is not feeling well. I will help him back to Qiyun Palace."

The emperor looked speechlessly at his father, whose face was beaming with ruddy glow.

Even if you are pretending to be sick, you should pretend to be more convincing.

At least if his face is paler and he looks weaker, it will be more convincing.

"Then hurry up and help your father back, and ask the imperial physician to come and see him. Don't delay any longer."

The emperor gave serious instructions to Eunuch Ai.

Forget it, if he had a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law like this, he would also pretend to be sick.

He could now understand his father's feelings.

Seeing the retired emperor coughing and being helped away by Eunuch Ai, the emperor looked towards the hall...

Those excited eyes...

What kind of people are these? They are watching the fun openly in the palace.

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Yu.

"Today's New Year's Eve banquet is over. All irrelevant people should leave."

Understanding the meaning in the emperor's eyes, Eunuch Yu spoke loudly.

These people were all troubled by those two bowls of wontons.

In the past, at this time, everyone would want to go back and have another meal.

He must have something in his stomach, so he dared to watch the excitement in the palace.

The people in the hall were unwilling to stop watching the show but only watched halfway through.

But in this situation, it is really inappropriate for them to stay.

The royal excitement is not something you can just watch casually.

It is still unknown who will win or lose in this game between the Queen Mother and Concubine Ye.

Everyone walked out while guessing.

Seeing that everyone in the hall had left, the Empress Dowager and Lady Bo both breathed a sigh of relief.

It always feels a bit embarrassing to say these things in front of so many people.

Besides, judging from the emperor's expression, he had no intention of favoring the Xu family.

If I continue talking about this, it will be more than just embarrassing.

Who knows, the emperor might even charge her, his grandmother, with the crime of causing trouble at the palace banquet.

Given the Queen Mother's understanding of her son, the Emperor, this is entirely possible.

Now that everyone has left, it can be resolved privately. It is a private matter and no one will be convicted for private matters.

Looking at the little Prince Fu and the third brother, and even the little foodie the fifth brother, who stayed behind to watch the fun, the emperor was too lazy to say anything to them.

"Now grandma can explain, you said that Concubine Ye's family came to the palace to ask for money..."

The emperor paused.

"And...what do you mean by them being starved?"

Mrs. Bo's face turned red. She regretted it now. She shouldn't have listened to her daughter and picked trouble with the Huang family.

Deep down, she was afraid of her, the emperor's grandson.

This child has never been close to her since childhood, or to be more precise, to the entire Bo's family.

His current tone clearly showed that he was venting his anger on the Huang family.

How can she say this to make this matter right?

Seeing her mother-in-law in an embarrassing situation, the Crown Prince's wife sighed.

She came out and knelt before the emperor.

"Your Majesty, my mother-in-law is old, and sometimes she will inevitably say the wrong thing."

She then kowtowed again.

"I am willing to apologize to Madam Huang on behalf of my mother-in-law and ask for her forgiveness."

Huang Ye admired the prince's wife for her insight and broad-mindedness.

She is the emperor's aunt. If she were to be too arrogant, she would be very proud.

Now she is willing to humble herself for her unreasonable mother-in-law, which shows that she is a smart person.

The Queen Mother opened her mouth, wanting to refute her sister-in-law.

But she also knew that her mother was in the wrong this time.

And in private, he, the emperor's son, would not give her face.

Moreover, he might even use this as an excuse to ban her, the queen mother, from traveling, so she couldn't be impulsive.

"Grandmother, your Xu family is my maternal family. Everything you do and say is my honor."

The Emperor asked Eunuch Yu to help the Crown Prince's wife up and spoke gently to the Earl's wife.

"I will not pursue today's matter any further. I just hope that you will think about me before you act or speak in the future."

Mrs. Bo was scolded by the Emperor in front of so many people, especially the old woman from the Huang family.

It would be a lie to say I'm not ashamed.

"Your Majesty... I won't do that again."

Mrs. Bo murmured.

"That's good. Ye Jieyu's family has been wronged today. I don't want them to attend palace banquets and have to wait outside the gate to watch the cold wind."

The emperor instantly became energetic when he said this.

"Xiao Yuzi, have the Ministry of Internal Affairs issue an imperial decree as soon as possible to raise the rank of the old lady of the Huang Mansion from the fifth rank to the second rank."

If it wasn't so against the regulations, he would have wanted to just promote it to the first rank right away to avoid the trouble of having to promote it again later.

"Your Majesty, this is against the regulations."

the Queen Mother cried out.

What happened today is simply outrageous.

This imperial decree does not mean that you can be promoted just by saying so.

It would be fine if it was just a one-level upgrade, but how could she accept such a high grade all at once?

"Does the Queen Mother have any objection to my order?"

The emperor looked at the queen mother.

The Queen Mother lost her momentum in an instant. She closed her mouth and dared not say anything else.
