Chapter 48

The father-in-law swept his sleeves away, showing a contemptuous expression: "Oh... this is really a crime, to have such an ugly appearance, our family is just an exaggeration in the rumors, but the real person is even uglier than the rumors say ...Today, it's really unlucky."

The face of the old concubine suddenly darkened a little, and Steward Feng hurriedly said: "It's really hard for Eunuch to come here to announce the decree in the cold weather. When the decree is finished, Eunuch will stay in the mansion for a while. The banquet has been prepared, and the hot wine is waiting for my father-in-law, so I can drink it to keep out the cold."

The father-in-law waved his whisk and corrected his posture, "We still have a few imperial decrees in our hands, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time today, but it's okay to have a sip of this good wine. Anyway, I came to the old concubine's mansion. This kindness cannot be pushed back.”

The old concubine turned around, and the maids helped the old concubine to sit down.

The father-in-law who announced the decree looked at Xue Yi and said, "Princess Jing, step forward to receive the decree."

Xue Yi knelt down slowly: "Concubine, King Jing Yuan, listen to the order."

"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: At the end of the second year of Xuancheng's reign, Xuan, King Yuanfei, and Princess Xueyi of Beicang Kingdom will enter the palace to have an audience. My emperor Shengze will give a banquet on New Year's Eve, and enjoy the joy of the New Year with the royal family. Immediately Enter the palace, hereby."

After the imperial decree was completed, everyone was astonished.

Especially the old concubine, leaning on crutches, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "...I am still in mourning at Prince Jing's mansion, and I am not allowed to enter the palace this year, let alone my son's wife who is in filial piety. Is this the emperor's own will?"

Xue Yi was also very surprised, two days ago was the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, all the concubines, concubines, princesses, princes and grandchildren of the royal family and the daughters of first and second rank civil and military officials had already entered the palace, namely Shen Bijun and Shangguan Zhuzhu Also entered the palace.

It stands to reason that King Jing had just passed away, and the family members around him should not enter the palace during the mourning period.

Therefore, this decree came as a surprise.

But the imperial decree is the imperial decree, and there is only reason to obey it.

The father-in-law replied: "Our family is just a small servant who announces the edict. He is only responsible for bringing this edict. As for the rest, our family does not know anything. Your Majesty only ordered that Princess Jing should not wear clothes during the few days she entered the palace. Su Yi, it looks unlucky after all."

The old concubine He nodded: "Naturally." After speaking, she glanced at Xue Yi and said, "Accept the order."

As the evening approached, the palace chariot entered the imperial city, but Abi failed to come, only Liuying accompanied her.

After entering the palace, the first thing to do is to meet the queen mother and empress.

The snow falls silently, the green tiles and red walls are suppressed by the vast expanse of whiteness, and the Flying Pavilion Dragon Tower stands proudly in the snow-white world, particularly conspicuous and majestic.

Dongling Imperial Palace is far bigger and more magnificent than her Beicang Palace.

Before leaving, Abi asked her in private: "Princess, if you enter the palace, it's because the people from Dongling Kingdom deliberately humiliated you and Bei Cang. Everyone thinks the princess is ugly and worthless. The people of the royal family don't know how to treat the princess. This time, they will definitely receive a lot of cynicism and ridicule....Princess, you were originally a beautiful woman, but now you are marrying a dead person, so the previous worries are no longer there. Why don't you wash off all the lead and show people your true colors, so as to stop their mouths and prevent them from being humiliated."
