Chapter 753 Congratulations

After talking with Su Luo and some other ladies, the Empress too nap. But she was woken up by the madam after less than an hour. "Her Majesty, Lord Wu has entered Meeting Hall.

The Empress immediately came to her senses and ordered, "Send someone to keep an eye on Meeting Hall. If the Emperor sends a eunuch to the Shu Ya palace, come and report to me. I'll personally go to see the wonderful show. I'm afraid she will fall to the bottom this time, as well as his son this time."

Seeing the rare joy on the Empress' face, the madam replied, "Your Highness. I'll arrange it right away."

The Empress didn't want continue her nap. After the maids help her up and get her dressed, she sat quietly on the chair, waiting for the messenger to come back.

About an hour later, the messenger rushed back.

Perhaps it was because the eunuch ran so fast that he kept panting and could not say a complete sentence. The Empress was a little anxious, so she just ignored him and ordered the madam to go to Shuya Palace with her.

Hardly had they stepped out of the door, the eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's not Lady Shu. Your Majesty..."

The Empress halted her step and turned around with a frown. She asked in confusion, "Not Lady Shu? What do you mean?"

The eunuch replied, "Lord Wu asked me to tell Your Majesty that he failed."

"What?" The Empress's face was a little stiff. "Failed? What's going on?" Her voice became cold.

The eunuch knelt on the ground and said in a low voice, "Lord Wu said that His Majesty's face suddenly changed when he heard the birth date on the stone tablet. However, just as His Majesty ordered to call Lady Shu and Prince Qi, Lord Li Qianmo from the Ministry of Justice suddenly came in."

"Li Qianmo? Does he work for Lady Shu? What did he go there for?" The Empress frowned and had a bad feeling about it.

The eunuch continued to report, "Lord Wu said that Li Qianmo went to report to His Majesty that an old craftsman who is good at carving in Jin City has died."

"Why did he report the trifle matter to His Majesty? Yamen could investigate the case," said the Empress unhappily.

"What a coincidence! Li Qianmo said that he found a note in the craftsman's house. The words on it were exactly the same words on the stone tablet that has been found in Jin'an Town." The eunuch lowered his head and said in a trembling voice.

Astonishment flashed through the Empress' eyes. She thought for a moment and said, "Is that old craftsman..."

The eunuch replied in a hurry, "Yes, he is the one who carved the stone tablet for us."

Hearing this, the Empress' face darkened. She thought that nobody would think the stone tablet had anything to do with her and the inner palace since she placed it in Jin'an Town. But she didn't expect that something would go wrong with the craftsman. "What's going on? Didn't I specially tell you to get rid of the craftsman and cle

e maid kneeling in front of her, "Tell me what is worth to congratulate?"

The maid hurriedly said, "the [皇后] doesn't know anything about it. Just now, the emperor ordered me to inform the [皇后] that I will come to Weiyang Palace tonight..."

Hearing this, the Empress' eyes flashed with disbelief. Then she quickly turned to the maid and asked, "What did you say? Is it true? His Majesty is really coming to Wei Yang Palace tonight? "

"Yes, His Majesty said that he hasn't had dinner in Wei Yang Palace for a long time and he'll come for dinner tonight."

The corners of the Empress' mouth lifted into a smile. It seemed that she had changed into the noble and dignified empress in just a short time. "Reward her."

The maid next to the Empress hurried forward and stuffed an ingot of silver into the servant's hand. The servant took it with a smile, and thanked the empress before leaving.

With a long lost smile in her eyes, the Empress stood up and said, "Clean up the palace as soon as possible. Go to the Imperial Garden to pick two bright flowers and put them in vases. Order the kitchen to prepare some sour bamboo shoots. His Majesty likes it. When the madam comes back, ask her come in to make up for me."

After a pause, she ordered in a hurry, "Hurry up. Ask someone to decoct the medicine for me. I need to drink it."

After giving a lot of orders, the Empress sat down, with joy in her eyes. Looking at the pattern of phoenix spreading its wings embroidered on the screen, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

After a while, the madam came in. Seeing the happy look on the Empress' face, she paused for a while and then hurried forward to curtsy, "Your Majesty."

It was not until the moment that the Empress came to her senses and said, "Get up quickly. Make up for me and make some popular hair style. Then take out my new phoenix coronet and put it on me. His Majesty is coming to Wei Yang Palace tonight."
