Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 564: Imperial Decree 2

 Prince Yong’s Mansion.

Zhao Xuan was holding Meng's arms in the side hall to comfort him: "Madam, she asked me to report the withdrawal of the feudal clan for the sake of the overall interests of our palace. How could she be targeting you? You are pregnant now and need to rest most. When you are in trouble, don’t let your thoughts wander all day long.”

"How can you still take care of me that I am pregnant?" After saying that, Meng took out the brocade handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said angrily: "She just proposed to withdraw the feudal vassal. Why did she propose to send a proton into the palace? Besides, she wanted to Do you want to mention this when I am pregnant with your flesh and blood? If she had not planned to send our child as a hostage, I, Meng Yuneng, would have written my name backwards."

Zhao Xuan saw his concubine losing his temper and tried to persuade her: "She didn't say she was going to send our child away. I've just started school here and haven't even written the eight characters yet. Why are you in a hurry?"

Hearing this, Meng broke away from Zhao Xuan and said angrily: "She just wants to hit the child in my belly again and again. Do you think I'm a fool? Humph! You, the father, can just ignore it, but do you want me to watch it? Are you using her to harm our children?"

As she spoke, she pointed at Zhao Xuan and sobbed: "I can tell you, if you agree to send our child out, I will die in front of you."

 “I do what I say.”

Zhao Xuan was getting upset over the quarrel with his concubine. The steward at the door hurriedly came in and replied: "Your Majesty, there is an imperial edict coming from the palace. The eunuchs are almost at the second gate. You should hurry up and receive the edict."

"So fast!" Zhao Xuan quickly let go of Meng and shouted hurriedly: "Hurry up and get my shoes and the prince's python robe. Hurry, hurry up."

The servants in the house were busy, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to look for it, and then said: "Your Majesty, your python robe is not with us."

 Princes and counts have their own prescribed attire, and their princes also have their own attire.

Zhao Xuan had already put on his shoes and didn't care about the servants. He was so anxious that he straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror and hurriedly ordered: "Go and tell the princess to get the python robe from her. Hurry, hurry." !”

The servants and women were busy in a group, and were about to run out in a hurry. Rouge, who was beside Xie, ran in holding Zhao Xuan's python robe and said: "Your Majesty, clothes, my wife ordered me to bring you clothes."

"It's just in time." Zhao Xuan didn't care about anything else. He reached for the clothes and hurriedly put them on. The servants on the side were tying knots, tightening belts, and buttonholes. After a while, Zhao Xuan was in a hurry. Then walked out.

Meng rushed after her and stood at the door and shouted to Zhao Xuan, who was in a hurry: "You remember what I said, if the saint really wants us to send our children to the palace, I will not let me even if I die." The children went there.”

 “Remember it for me, did you hear it?”

Zhao Xuan didn't know how the emperor would reply to his memorial. He was in a hurry. At this moment, he couldn't care about Meng. He just didn't hear it and walked out in a hurry as usual. Because of his anxiety, he tripped when he crossed the threshold. After a moment, he almost slipped.

Zhao Xuan was anxious and furious as soon as he left the hospital. From a distance, he saw his wife holding her belly and walking slowly towards this side. At the moment he saw his wife, for some reason, his originally flustered heart suddenly calmed down. It felt like it had a backbone.

Zhao Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to welcome her and said to his wife: "The saint has made a decree."

Xie nodded and replied, "I understand."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to support her husband's slightly skewed crown, looked at it, then leaned over to help him straighten his python robe, and said, "Husband, please don't forget to be prudent."

Zhao Xuan helped his wife up, frowned, and expressed his worries to her: "I wonder what the saint is thinking?"

Mrs. Xie glanced at her husband's nervous look. She smiled calmly and replied: "We took the initiative to withdraw the vassal state. It is a good thing for His Majesty to take the lead in showing our loyalty. Even if he makes an edict, it will definitely be Reward us."

She glared at her husband and said, "What are you afraid of?" After Zhao Xuan heard what his wife said, he felt completely at peace. Zhao Xuan scratched his head and smiled silly at his wife: "Maybe I haven’t received an imperial edict for several years, haha, now I suddenly have to receive an edict, I’m really panicking.”

Xie was happy and said firmly: "Go quickly, it will be a good thing for you and me."

After listening to his wife's words, Zhao Xuan felt more at ease. He smiled knowingly at his wife: "Then I will go to receive the order. You wait for me."

Xie said: "I have just ordered the housekeeper to welcome the eunuchs to the front hall, so that they can entertain them well. Just go over there quickly."

 The wife is still thoughtful.

Zhao Xuan said "hmm", turned around and walked briskly towards the front hall.

Zhao Xuan entered the front hall and received the orders. As expected, they were all rewards, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

During the reign of the late Emperor Ming, he had already granted Prince Yong the most honorable title. On top of that, Li Ling also granted Prince Yong the honorific title of "Rongshuo". He also granted Zhao Xuan a reward and gave him the first rank of the Xie family. Imperial decree.

For the emperor, cutting off the vassal king's guard army was the most direct way to eliminate hidden dangers. As for the empty titles of rewards, it was just a matter of honor.

As for Zhao Xuan, ever since he listened to his wife's advice, all he could think about was the precedents of being confiscated and exiled. She had been pampered since she was a child and had not experienced any hardships. Thinking of these, he was scared out of his wits. Now the emperor actually still has these rewards, which is beyond his expectation.

 Zhao Xuan accepted the imperial edict and ordered people to reward the eunuchs heavily. After sending the eunuchs out of the house, he held the imperial edict and happily went to find his wife.

Zhao Xuan hummed a little tune and walked briskly into the main house, but he didn't see his wife. He asked the maid and she said that she went to the terrace to enjoy the plum blossoms. Zhao Xuan said nothing, held the imperial edict and turned around to go to the terrace again. Come and find.

Ms. Xie was sitting on a soft chair on the terrace, holding a stove in her hand, sipping fragrant tea and admiring the blooming wintersweet in the garden.

 Stable as a mountain, calm and leisurely.

Zhao Xuan couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw his wife like this.

 He is a grown man, but he is not as calm as a woman when things happen.

Zhao Xuan raised his hands to straighten his clothes, walked forward with a steady pace, and said to his wife in a calm voice: "I have accepted the imperial edict, and as you expected, it is all a reward."

 Is there anything unexpected about this?

 It's just that Zhao Xuan was too impatient.

Xie nodded after hearing this and asked: "Can the saint allow the pledge?"

Zhao Xuan hurriedly said: "No, no, your Majesty rejected this."

Hearing this, Ms. Xie let out a long sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face. She said to her husband, "Sit down and speak slowly."
