Chapter 43: The Divine Decree
The four white gold pillars are surrounded by four corners, and the phoenix is engraved on them, and the top of each pillar is decorated with a jade jade, each of which is round and warm. The top is inlaid with a complete piece of glazed stone offered by an exotic land, and a golden phoenix with wings fluttering and reborn in the fire is painted on it. Goose-yellow fine silk satin hung all around, hanging to the ground.
It's a bed of the utmost luxury. The bed is surprisingly large, and it can accommodate at least ten people side by side. At this time, the owner of the mansion bed, Princess Yuechen, who is the most honored and favored today, was wearing a silk plain nightgown and wrapped in an ice silkworm quilt, sleeping peacefully. The weather in September is still hot, but Ice Silk can always keep it moist to keep it hot to keep it hot, not to mention that there are ice basins in every corner of the room to dissipate heat.
She was breathing evenly, but suddenly her breathing became very heavy, and she struggled to wake up. The maidservant who was waiting in the hut hurriedly entered the house, walked quickly to the bedside, and said through the curtain, "Princess, is it all right?" ”
"Stand down!" The voice was as cold as ice, even with anger. The maid was startled, and hurriedly quietly withdrew.
Han Li grabbed the silk quilt tightly with both hands, and the tighter he gripped it, the nails of the quilt were deeply embedded in the flesh, blood overflowed, and the snow-white silk was dyed a little scarlet. Her eyes were so cold that there was no trace of emotion, and she looked around the mansion bed for a week, and she whispered to herself: "I will never let go of what belongs to me, and I will give back ten times what is added to me!" ”
Recalling yesterday, she made one thing clear, that is, she couldn't control her lust, so it was easy for Gong Xuanqi to control her lightly, but Gong Xuanqi didn't know that he had given her a big treasure, and if Xuanwu was there, she would soon be able to control herself.
"Listen to the snow." After thinking alone for a long time, she called out loud.
The maid saw that the princess was angry, and as soon as she went out, she found Tingxue, who had been waiting outside the door. Hearing the voice of Princess Rine, he took a steady step and slowly entered. Walking into the inner room, she briskly lifted the curtain and hung it on the side to fix it, and saw the blood stains on the princess's brocade quilt at a glance, but she remained silent, waiting for orders.
"Dress me more, the decree is coming soon." She spoke slowly, her expression indifferent. If you give, you will receive. Since the emperor gave her foreign power, she will do her best to fight for it.
Hearing Xuexue, she was secretly frightened, the princess has never paid much attention to the holy decree, and even their close maids have taken it on their behalf, but this time it is rare to get up early, and they have to dress more to pick it up. It's really confusing. But Tingxue never says superfluous words, and will only carry out the master's words wholeheartedly. A few handmaidens were summoned, and the princess changed her clothes and makeup with her hands and feet.
Just as the princess moved to the main hall, she said sharply, "The holy decree has arrived." And it rang.
Yang Zizhen, a favorite eunuch beside the emperor, personally came with a decree, accompanied by Zuo Yan and Dong Yan, among the emperor's most powerful guards and eight Yan. Seeing Zuo Yan, Han Li's eyes fluctuated obviously, she had a deep personal relationship with Zuo Yan. Moreover, Zuo Yan is the captain of the Eight Guards Guards, although the eight of them are not officially appointed officials, but the power is indeed quite large, especially Zuo Yan.
The emperor actually sent such a big pomp to issue a holy decree to himself, really, a big face?!
"With my intentions, I will grant Princess Yuechen the position of envoy to the foreign festival and inherit the affairs of foreign clans." The surprisingly concise decree does not add the scale of a formal official decree, but it still has its effect.
Zuo Yan personally held the official seal, Han Li raised his hands above his head and respectfully accepted it. With an expressionless face and a fleeting smile, she finally held the real power. After Zuo Yan took the palace seal in Hanli, she helped her without a trace. With his strength, she rose lightly. But he has not yet thanked him.
Yang Zizhen also acted as if he hadn't seen it, and politely stepped forward and said, "Congratulations to the princess!" ”
