Chapter 683 The lord resigned in person
When he arrived at the palace gate, the guards saw Xia Mingyue coming, and greeted him respectfully and enthusiastically, checked his waist sign, and while walking to pass the message, he arranged a soft sedan chair in the palace to send Xia Mingyue to the empress dowager's harem.
The empress dowager at this time had just used breakfast.
What I ate was a folk food made by the imperial chef in the palace, Dandan noodles, which was previously made by Xia Mingyue.
Sauerenic is fried with pork minced pork and sprouts with pepper and chili oil. It is spicy and fresh, fragrant, rich in flavor, and the noodles are chewy and delicious, and very delicious.
The unique fragrance of sprouts makes the whole bowl of noodles taste to the next level. Even after eating, I drink another bowl of noodles soup, but I still feel that there is a fragrance left in my mouth, which makes me feel endless aftertaste.
The Queen Mother had a great time eating and even wanted to give her another half bowl.
The aunt next to her stopped her, "Although this Dandan noodles are delicious, they are too spicy and spicy. In the morning, it's better to eat some light ones. Queen Mother, you should eat a bowl of greedy words. If you eat it again..."
"I am really a little scared."
"What are you afraid of?" The Queen Mother disagreed. "Doctor Yin came to see the Ai family a few days ago. It's not that the Ai family is healthy and has no big problems. You just need to go out for more walks every day and have a sunbath."
"In addition, Doctor Yin also said that his body is good and bad, and he must take up half of his mood. He will eat whatever he wants, drink whatever he wants, and go wherever he wants, so that he can have a good health and live a long life."
"Why is that the old man who is so many years older than the Ai family, and his body looks much stronger than the Ai family? Isn't it because she lives more casually than the Ai family? So, if the Ai family wants to eat this Dandan noodles today, you just let the Ai family eat it. Otherwise, it would be inappropriate for him to feel bad. Do you think this is the reason?"
I feel like the empress dowager said...
It seems that there is some reason?
The aunt was a little helpless, especially when she saw the empress dowager's obviously pouting mouth, she had to instruct the subordinates to come over quickly.
There were so many noodles prepared by the queen mother, since she wanted to eat more, she would naturally serve her quickly.
The Empress Dowager ate half a bowl as she wished, and was quite happy. As soon as she put down the bowls and chopsticks, she learned that Xia Mingyue had entered the palace to ask for a meeting. Her smile became more and more crawling, "Transfer, send it quickly."
"Yes." The aunt responded, and while going out to greet her, she instructed the people below to prepare tea, fruits and other things so that the Empress Dowager could eat when talking and chatting with Xia Mingyue.
Xia Mingyue soon arrived at the empress dowager and saluted respectfully, "I will meet the empress dowager."
"Get up quickly, get up quickly." The empress dowager raised her hand and greeted, "Come and sit next to Ai's house."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Xia Mingyue smiled and stood up on the soft stool next to the Empress Dowager. "I came rashly today, so I didn't disturb the Empress Dowager."
"No." The Empress Dowager held Xia Mingyue's hand and said with a smile, "The Ai family is very boring in the palace all day long. You can enter the palace to talk to the Ai family. It's too late to be happy. Why bother?"
"The Empress Dowager does not dislike it. It's my blessing, but..." Xia Mingyue paused, with a embarrassed look on her face, "I probably can't enter the palace from time to time in the future. Come with you."
The Empress Dowager was a little surprised, but was also very concerned, "Is there anything to be busy with? I heard the emperor mention it before, saying that you helped Yu'er cultivate cotton seedlings, and plant cotton seedlings into the field in the future, and the yield can be increased by at least 30%. This is a great thing for the people. Do you have to be busy with this matter during this period?"
Xia Mingyue shook her head slightly and smiled, "I am here today, and I resigned from the Empress Dowager."
Please resign?
The Empress Dowager was stunned, but soon smiled again, "If you want to talk about it, the Ai family wants to stay in the capital for a longer time, so that they can accompany the Ai family to relieve their boredom. The Ai family can also chat with you more and know something new outside, but the Ai family knows that you can't stay in the capital."
"Well, since you have spoken, the Ai family will not try to keep it. It's just that you have to go back, and the journey of a thousand miles is not easy to walk. The Ai family will give you some things and send a few reliable people to follow. Don't refuse, it's a little bit of the Ai family. "
The Empress Dowager said openly. Xia Mingyue had no room for rejection or reason. She thanked her with a smile, "Thank you for the reward." "You are already thinking about leaving. I guess you can't stay here. It takes a few days to pack things, and you don't have that much free time to enter the palace. Since you are here today, let's talk to the Ai family again. The Ai family also invites the queen and calls Lan'er and Xiaowu to have a lively lunch. It can be regarded as practicing it for you in advance."
"Everything depends on the arrangement of the queen mother." Xia Mingyue thanked her again, "Thank you for your consideration for me." "You are a good child. The Ai family looks kind, so naturally treats you as a granddaughter. It is the same as Lan'er and Xiaowu." The queen mother smiled and told the aunts and palace maids around her to invite the queen. Fan Jinglan and the fifth princess came together, and even told the people that they must prepare more lunch.
The Empress Dowager is so fond of Xia Mingyue that the people below are like a mirror in their hearts, so naturally they dare not neglect the matter and hurry up and go to work hard.
Xia Mingyue accompanied the Empress Dowager to chat. The Empress, the Fifth Princess and Fan Jinglan soon arrived in the Empress Dowager's harem.
On the way, the three of them learned from the people who were passing the message that Xia Mingyue was leaving the capital and returning to Jinqiu County.
The queen and the fifth princess were naturally quite regretful and were reluctant to leave. On the contrary, Fan Jinglan was full of excitement, and the smile on her face almost overflowed.
Even when walking, they jumped around, like a lively and energetic little rabbit.
When the Empress Dowager saw this, she pretended to be angry, "Okay, looking at Lan'er's appearance, the Ai family knows what she will say next."
"Really?" Fan Jinglan tilted her head, "Then Empress Dowager, please guess what I am going to say?"
"You."
The Empress Dowager reached out and pointed Fan Jinglan's forehead with a doting face, and joked, "You must have confirmed with the Lord of Anle Township whether she really wants to go back to Jinqiu County. The second sentence is to ask her if she can go with her. The third is to resign from the Ai family and the Queen."
"Tell me, is it the same as what the Ai family said?"
The whole mind was guessed thoroughly. Fan Jinglan was a little embarrassed, but also gave the queen mother a thumbs up, "Sure enough, the Empress Dowager understands me the most!"
"It's because she understands you very much, and she also knows that if the Ai family doesn't allow you to go with the Lord of Anle Township, you will have to talk to you all day long in front of the Ai family, and maybe you will go out secretly."
The empress dowager said angrily, "If this is the case, it's better to sell you. If you agree, the main person in Anle Township will be back, and you will act as a guard and accompany the main person in Anle Township all the way."
Why not be told behind the scenes of Fan Jinglan's carelessness that she was ignoring her because of Xia Yunji and was too rushing, it would be better to agree openly and give her a reasonable excuse to block those stinky mouths.
This person lives in the world and is worried about too many things, even if she is the Queen Mother. "The Empress Dowager told me to obey the order!" Fan Jinglan bowed to the Empress Dowager with a grin, and said to the Empress Dowager with a smile, "It's just that the Empress Dowager gave me such an important task. Do you have to give me some rewards? You can't do your job in vain?" "See, what does it mean to be good at getting cheap? The Ai family really saw it today." The Empress Dowager first joked, and then patted Fan Jinglan's back of his hand intimately, "You have spoken this, can the Ai family still disagree? But you don't love gold or jade all day long, and you don't love rouge and gouache and cloth, and the Ai family doesn't know what to give you."
"It's easy to say. I have something I want." Fan Jinglan said, "I saw the emperor go to the royal garden to hunt and took a bow with excellent quality. I want that bow. This way I can use it on the road. It can be considered as the Queen Mother's reward, which is good for you. How about it?"
"Okay." The Queen Mother responded with a smile and ordered the people around him to ask the emperor for the bow that Fan Jinglan said.
After the reward was decided to be given to Fan Jinglan, the Empress Dowager began to prepare the reward for Xia Mingyue.
Cloth, medicinal materials, jewelry, gold and silver...
"It's all common things, but they are things that you use every day. If you take them back, you can also send them to others. It's more festive and lively."
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "In addition, the Ai family will give you another 200 acres of land and take care of it with your own farm."
Most of this kind of land must be rented to tenant farmers. The tenant farmers have little land and are not enough to eat. They rely on renting land to cultivate to increase food and increase their income.
Xia Mingyue obviously has a lot of experience in farming. The fields she manages will definitely increase the harvest of tenants, which is extremely good for Xia Mingyue's own income and for tenants. "The Empress Dowager is considerate and thanks me." Xia Mingyue thanked him again.
The Queen Mother had already given the reward, and the Queen had no reason to be empty-handed, and also selected some things from her own Curry to reward her.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
After the full set of rubies, a large and round pearl necklace, a high-quality jade bracelet, and a few good pieces of brocade.
There are a lot of things and the things are exquisite, but they have not snatched the limelight from the Queen Mother. It can be said that they are just right in terms of their position.
The fifth princess gave Xia Mingyue two purses she embroidered by herself, as well as some spices and tea she had obtained from the Queen Mother before.
When the emperor asked him about the bow and arrow from Fan Jinglan, he learned that Xia Mingyue wanted to return to Jinqiu County, so he rewarded some gold and silver for the expenses on the road.
In short, when Xia Mingyue entered the palace, she had a carriage, and when she left the palace, she had a carriage, and she had a carriage, and she had a lot of things back to her home.
Fan Jinglan followed her back and discussed the matter of returning to Jinqiu County.
Xia Mingyue returned home like an arrow, so she made an appointment with Fan Jinglan to set off early in the morning three days.
Fan Jinglan naturally had no objection to this decision. After enjoying a large pot of braised mutton at Xia Mingyue's home, she hurriedly returned home.
Purchase things happily.
Mrs. Fan and Duke Jing had learned from the palace that Fan Jinglan was going to Jinqiu County with Xia Mingyue. Seeing that Fan Jinglan was happier than the New Year, she could only sigh.
The daughter of her own knows that she is not only because of Xia Yunji, but also because of Xia Mingyue.
Knowing that it was useless to force it to stop it, but instead became apart. The couple did not stop it, but only helped Fan Jinglan pack up the things together.
Since Fan Jinglan is going to Jinqiu County, which is close to the camp of the Western Army, she simply packed up all the clothes, shoes and other items prepared for Fan Honghui by Surili, and asked Fan Jinglan to take them all, so that she could give them to her for free.
"Don't worry, my father and mother, just keep this matter in my hands." Fan Jinglan agreed very simply, but when she glanced over the things, she raised her eyebrows, "Take so many things for my second brother?"
"It's much more than I give it to me. Are my father and mother so partial?" Fan Jinglan pretended to be dissatisfied. "Of course I have to give your second brother more. He hasn't been home for so long, and it's enough to save up." Mrs. Fan said, "In addition, I'm deliberately giving you less to express my dissatisfaction."
Her daughter doesn't care about herself and her father every day, and she runs out all day long, and it's not good to anyone.
Ms. Fan adheres to the principle that if you have dissatisfaction, she has no hiding it.
Fan Jinglan pursed her lips, reached out to hug Mrs. Fan, and acted coquettishly in a soft tone, "Mom, how many blessings do you think I have cultivated in my life?"
"What do you say?" Mrs. Fan reached out to touch her thick black hair.
"Isn't it a blessing to be able to have a reasonable and understanding mother like you?" Fan Jinglan smiled.
I don't understand, even feel sad, but I will respect it.
What kind of fairy mother?
What kind of virtue does she have? She can have such a good mother? "As you say this, I am a father, not good?" Duke Jing curled his lips. "How could that happen?" Fan Jinglan hurried to Duke Jing and acted coquettishly as before. "Then I..." Fan Hongyu took the opportunity to speak.
According to the principle of treating water equally, Fan Jinglan comforted and comforted the three of them.
Fan Jinglan packed her luggage here with great enthusiasm and said goodbye to her family. Xia Mingyue was also busy packing her luggage and counting her entourage.
During this period, I took the time to go to He's house and say goodbye to Mrs. He.
But unfortunately, Mrs. He and the Empress Dowager went to the National Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. It took about ten days to go, and they were not at home these days.
Xia Mingyue asked the manager to convey the matter, and even gave the butterfly pastry and mung bean cake he made specially for Mrs. He.
The manager naturally responded to this matter. After seeing Xia Mingyue off, he hurriedly sent someone to deliver food and news to Mrs. He.
After some busy schedule, Xia Mingyue and her group met up at the agreed time and set off.
Fan Hongyu came to deliver it in person, and even brought Xia Mingyue a pillow-raising tool that he had promised her to make and cultivate cotton seedlings.
