269 Got what you wanted
A few days later, Shen Wu'an issued a holy decree in the early court, announcing the canonization of Qu Wuwu as an concubine, and uncharacteristically rewarding the Qu family, this move surprised the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, after all, when Qu Wurong was there before, the Qu family had not received such a vast imperial grace, right?
Qu Xiaoliang was also stunned by this sudden reward, since the announcement of the holy decree, his whole person was dizzy, and he didn't even know when the early dynasty was dispersed, until the colleagues around him came to congratulate him one by one and suddenly realized.
"Master Qu, no, I should call you Qu Guozhang instead." After the dispersal, a colleague who usually walked closer to him quickly walked to catch up with him, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said happily, "Congratulations, congratulations! ”
Qu Xiaoliang arched his hand at him, "Thank you, Lord Zhang!" ”
"Lord Guozhang, this can be regarded as a smooth progress, and I hope you can bring more officials in the future." The colleague continued, but he secretly hated that he hadn't been able to have more beautiful and capable daughters, otherwise he might have been able to enjoy the scenery like today!
"Definitely, definitely!"
Next, many people stepped forward to congratulate, Qu Xiaoliang replied to the congratulatory messages of his colleagues one by one, so delayed, the time to return to the house was full of half a pillar of incense!
"Why is it so late today, sir?" While taking the maids to change him into court clothes, Hua asked strangely, "Is it delayed by something?" ”
In fact, she just asked casually, not expecting Qu Xiaoliang to really answer herself, but she didn't expect Qu Xiaoliang to not only answer, but also bring a great news to herself.
"Sir, are you telling the truth?" After hearing Qu Xiaoliang tell himself what happened in the morning, Hua was so excited that his voice trembled, "Are we really canonized as An Concubine Niangniang by the emperor?" Even the lord and the concubine have a reward? ”
"What am I lying to you for?" Qu Xiaoliang was actually as excited as her at this moment, but compared to the Hua family, he at least looked much calmer on the surface, "Besides, who dares to deceive people with such a big thing?" How dare I make a joke about the Holy Decree? ”
Hearing him say this, the smile on the corner of Hua's mouth became thicker and thicker, and he was so happy that he didn't know how to express it, and finally he had to circle around the room vigorously, and there were words in his mouth: "Great, great!" Our worries have finally come out! ”
Compared with her own glory, the Hua family is more concerned about her daughter, after all, she lives alone in the huge palace, if she can't get the emperor's favor, I'm afraid this life will be ruined!
She was still discussing with Qu Xiaoliang a few days ago to see if she could think of a way to let Qu Wuwu leave the palace, but she was reprimanded by Qu Xiaoliang, saying that she was delusional, and she was quite unconvinced at the time, but at this time she was glad that Qu Xiaoliang did not listen to her own mention, otherwise their family would not have such grace!
"yes!" Although she doesn't put Qu Wuwu first in everything, after all, she is the daughter she has pampered and grown up with since she was a child, and Qu Xiaoliang is also happy for her, "Now that the harem is empty, we are the only concubine of the emperor, and we will definitely enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!" ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Hearing him say this, Hua Shi said beautifully, "If you give birth to another boy and half a girl to the emperor, it will be even better!" ”
Qu Xiaoliang nodded, "You're right, although the emperor has already canonized the crown prince, it's always good to have a child by your side, go back to the palace and tell her about it." ”
"Okay, I'll go to the palace later." Hua Shi agreed, and was happy for a while, and suddenly remembered one more thing, "By the way, since you are now the lord of the country, shouldn't our mansion also be repaired?" ”
The bachelor's mansion was built when Qu Xiaoliang just embarked on his official career, after all these years of wind and sun, although it is still very strong, but it looks a little dilapidated from the outside, since such a big happy event has happened now, and the emperor has also given a lot of rewards, just take this opportunity to make the whole mansion look new.
Hearing her words, Qu Xiaoliang groaned a little and nodded, "You can look at the arrangement for this matter." ”
"Okay, I'll make sure I can arrange it."
The husband and wife then talked about something else for a while, Qu Xiaoliang got up and went to the study, and Hua also stood up and shook his clothes, preparing to enter the palace to congratulate his daughter.
At this time, the Taiqing Palace ushered in a lively situation that had not been seen for a long time.
Early in the morning, people came in and out, alarming many concubines who had not yet gotten up, and everyone was disturbed by the movement outside, and they all walked out of their respective dormitories to check what was going on, and then they found that these people were all going for the place where Qu Wuwu lived.
"Sister, what's going on?" Yu Zhaorong covered his face with his hands and yawned, and asked the concubine beside him, "Is Sister Qu going out of the palace?" "How did you start moving things out?
Concubine Xi snorted coldly when she heard this, "How could she be willing to leave the palace?" ”
"Then this is ......" Yu Zhao looked at her puzzled, "Could it be that she has suddenly developed and can't change everything used in the palace?" ”
"People are indeed developed." At this time, another concubine came over and said in a cold tone.
Hearing her words, Yu Zhaorong became more and more puzzled, "What the hell is going on?" "Why does everyone seem to know it, but hide it from her?
"I said your heart is really big!" Concubine Xi glanced at her helplessly, "This news has spread throughout the palace early this morning, why are you still living like yesterday?" ”
Yu Zhaorong was even more curious, pulled her sleeve and shook it, and begged, "What is the matter?" Good sister, just hurry up and sue me! ”
"Qu Wuwu has been canonized as an concubine!" Concubine Xi announced the answer in a cold tone, "Huh? Hearing this, Yu Zhaorong was stunned, "How is it possible?" ”
They are all the concubines of the first emperor Shen Duanlang, and they usually live in this remote and quiet Taiqing Palace, which is as quiet as a cold palace, and even the face of the current emperor is rarely seen, why is it that Qu Wuwu was favored by the emperor and canonized as a concubine, not them?
Everyone present almost had the same mind as her, and they chose to stay, except for a few people who had to stay because they had nowhere to go after leaving the palace, everyone else more or less held the hope of being able to be favored by the current emperor and live the beautiful and infinite life again, but three years have passed, and their wishes have not been realized. It's just that this person is not himself.
And Qu Wuwu, who was both envied and jealous by everyone, was directing her subordinates to carry things out at this time, since she was canonized as an concubine, then she no longer had to live with these old concubines of the previous dynasty, and Shen Wu'an also specially rewarded her with a palace elsewhere.
Originally, these old things didn't need to be moved, and the Internal Affairs Office would naturally arrange a new one for her new residence, but Qu Wuwu took the initiative to refuse, saying that she was used to these things, and she might not be used to replacing them with new ones, and at the same time advised Shen Wu'an not to be too extravagant and wasteful for herself.
In fact, this is not Qu Wuwu's nature, if it is according to her previous temperament, she must be as public, and she will not be as low-key as she is now; But she also knew that her name as an concubine came a little strangely, not long after Shen Wu'an asked her what she wanted that day, the holy decree to canonize her was issued, no matter how she thought about it, she felt strange, so she didn't dare to be as publicistic as before, and she acted with more care, for fear that if one of them didn't do well, this hard-won favor would be gone!
However, her forbearance is only temporary, and after she really wins Shen Wuan's heart, are you still afraid that she will not be as glamorous? Maybe the whole harem will be in her hands!
As for the rumors outside, Qu Wuwu didn't have the heart to care about it at this time, although she had somewhat guessed that those people would not be indifferent to watching her gain honor, but so what? After all, she is the one who gets the favor, and no matter how red those people are, they can only be secretly jealous in their hearts.
The subordinates were carrying things in an orderly manner, Qu Wuwu looked at it for a while and felt that there was no problem, so he walked out with Lilac, and sure enough, he saw that everyone was gathered outside to watch the excitement, and when he saw her come out, they adjusted the expressions on their faces to meet her, "Oh, congratulations!" ”
Qu Wuwu also had a smile on his face, "I can have today, thanks to the sisters who took care of me, Wuwu is here to thank you!" ”
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Xi Concubine stepped forward and took her hand and said, "It's your good luck sister, so that the emperor has taken a fancy to get out of this boundless sea of suffering, I hope my sister won't be stingy, so that the sisters will also be touched by your blessings, so that maybe one day our sisters can be each other's company again?" ”
She seemed to say this beautifully, but in fact, she implied that Qu Wuwu was favored by the emperor just by luck, and maybe more people would have such luck in the future, and she was not the special one.
Qu Wuwu didn't get angry when he heard it, the smile on his face was still the same, "My sister is really right, and I also hope that my sisters can come to me as much as possible, but don't let me wait too long!" ”
There is a hint in the words of the two people, so you come and I have a few words, Yu Zhaorong on the side finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and interjected to interrupt the confrontation between the two people, "Sister Wuwu moved elsewhere, I am afraid that there will be fewer opportunities for our sisters to meet in the future, you must not forget that we are!" ”
"No, how could I have forgotten about everyone?" Qu Wuwu replied with a smile, "After I settle down in Shou'an Palace, I will invite all the sisters to come and get together!" You're all going to have to come and cheer when the time comes! ”
Hearing her say this, everyone else nodded in response: "It must be!" ”
Several people gathered around and talked for a while, and Lilac, who had been called away, suddenly came back and whispered in Qu Wuwu's ear: "Niangniang, the old lady is here, and she was blocked out of the palace gate." ”
Qu Wuwu frowned slightly when he heard this, in the past, when Shen Duanlang was still in power, he deliberately allowed the Hua family to enter the palace to visit her at any time, but now that there is a different person on the throne, naturally he will no longer indulge her like before, so the number of times the Hua family enters the palace is getting less and less.
Thinking of this, she instructed Lilac: "You go and ask the emperor for an edict and bring people in." ”
"Yes!"
