Chapter 852

After hearing what her youngest son said, Lu Jiao couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. Although Young Master Wubao is young, he has a clear understanding of people and things.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want in the future. With your fourth brother and your father, don't think so much about your children."

"Got it, mother."

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the door, Xie Yunjin walked in from the door, and said to Lu Jiao as soon as she came in.

"Jiaojiao, hurry up and go to the front to receive the imperial decree."

Lu Jiao was stunned for a moment and said, "What imperial decree?"

Xie Yunjin smiled and said, "You'll know when you pick it up."

Seeing his mysterious appearance, Lu Jiao had no choice but to get up and go into the house to dress up. Although she could be more casual under the imperial decree of the Four Treasures, Lu Jiao didn't want people to gossip about her, so she put on heavy makeup according to her taste, and then wore dragon and phoenix clothes. Tai followed Xie Yunjin all the way to the front yard to receive the order.

It was His Majesty's confidant Zhou Youjin who came to Xie's family to deliver the decree, and Zhou Youjin's identity is different today.

He is the trusted eunuch by His Majesty's side, and it can be said that he has infinite scenery, but seeing Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, he is still the regular Zhou Youjin from before. After following His Majesty for so long, can he not know how much His Majesty values ​​Xie's family, the adoptive father and mother? ? So when Zhou Youjin faced Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, he remained extremely low-key.

"Thank you, Mrs. Xie."

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao smiled and signaled Zhou Youjin that you are welcome.

Zhou Youjin signaled Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao to accept the order, and Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao knelt down to accept the order with a group of people.

In the crowd, Zhou Shaogong looked at his son, not knowing whether it was joy or sorrow, sour or sweet.

Although his son has become a master, he is not a complete person after all.

Zhou Shaogong's eyes were moist.

Zhou Youjin naturally saw his father's face, and began to read the imperial edict with a slight smile.

"By God's blessing, the emperor summoned and said that Lu Jiao, the wife of Lord Xie, who was assisted by the cabinet for the second time, is virtuous and virtuous, with a noble character and a dignified personality. She can be called the first model of women in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because of her kindness in nurturing the sage, she is now bestowed the title of Super First Grade." Ma'am, bestow the country's surname as a title, and thank you by imperial decree."

Lu Jiao was stunned. She didn't expect that the Four Treasures didn't confer the title of Empress Dowager on her, but instead conferred on her the title of first-class lady, and also used the country title as her title. Then she would be the first lady in Dazhou to use the country title as her title. .

On one side, Xie Yunjin saw Lu Jiao was in a daze, and quickly stretched out her hand to push her. Lu Jiao hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and my wife, thank you."

Respectful hands took the decree.

Zhou Youjin immediately congratulated Lu Jiao: "This servant is here to congratulate Mrs. Zhou Guo. Your Majesty has a message for Madam."

When Lu Jiao heard that besides the imperial decree, there was also an oral order, and immediately said respectfully: "Please speak frankly, Eunuch Zhou."

Zhou Youjin smiled and took out a seal from his sleeve, with four words engraved on it, as if I were here in person.

"This was awarded by His Majesty to Mrs. Zhou Guo. If there is someone who is not good-looking who offends Madam in the future, Madam can take out this seal and punish that person on the spot. In addition, with this seal, if Madam wants to enter the palace, she can enter at will. palace."

Lu Jiao really didn't know what to say, so she immediately took the seal with both hands straight, and thanked respectfully: "Please tell your majesty, Mr. Zhou, that the servants will enter the palace tomorrow to thank you."

"Okay, the slave will bring the message to His Majesty."

After Zhou Youjin finished speaking, he motioned to Xie's family to accept the reward. This time His Majesty gave him a title and a bunch of things. Xie Yunjin immediately signaled Housekeeper Xiao to take the reward from His Majesty.

Seeing that Xie's family had accepted the reward, Zhou Youjin turned around and took people away, Xie Yunjin immediately called Zhou Shaogong to send Zhou Youjin out.

Zhou Shaogong took the order to send someone off, looking at the energetic son beside him, Zhou Shaogong didn't know what to say, and it took him a long time before he said, "You Jin, do you really not regret it?"

Zhou Youjin laughed: "Father, I don't regret it, I am living a very good life now."

Zhou Shaogong heard this, turned his head to look at him, and said earnestly: "You Jin, it is not easy for you to get to where you are today. In the future, you need to remember one thing. Everything you have is given by your majesty. You must be loyal to your majesty, and you will never give up. Betrayal of His Majesty, and don't get carried away with complacency, be steady and calm."

Zhou Youjin looked at his old father, thinking of this period of time, he seemed to be a little bit drifting, because he was His Majesty's confidant, and all the eunuchs and maids in the palace came to please him, which made him overjoyed.

In fact, His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and his foundation is not yet stable, so he cannot float away.

Zhou Youjin restrained his expression, and responded respectfully: "Father, I understand."

"Forget it, let's go to the palace."

"Yes, Dad."

Zhou Youjin left Xie's house and returned to the palace.

Xie family, Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin with the imperial decree in her hand and said, "I'm afraid you already knew about this? Why didn't you stop Your Majesty."

Xie Yunjin did know about this, and it was his idea.

"Your Majesty wants to give you a title. If he doesn't give you something, he will feel uncomfortable and has been thinking about it. After this morning, he called me over to discuss this matter. He said that he wanted to give you a filial piety of the Great Zhou. Queen Mother, but you disagree, so he has no choice but to give up, but if he doesn't give you anything, he can't eat well, and he can't sleep well, so he still wants to give you something."

"Later, I suggested to him that you should be given the title of Mrs. Zhou Chaoyi and the title of Zhou. This would be regarded as fulfilling your kindness in raising His Majesty, and it would also make the courtiers have nothing to say, and they would not criticize His Majesty or you. "

"As soon as I said it, His Majesty said it was a good suggestion on the spot, and then made an order."

Lu Jiao looked at the imperial decree in her hand and the seal used by His Majesty, she couldn't help but sighed and said: "This child, I told him that he doesn't need these external things, he just wants to do it."

Xie Yunjin put his arms around Lu Jiao's shoulders, and said with a smile: "This is his heart, you just accept it happily. You must be happy when you enter the palace tomorrow to thank you, and don't waste his heart in vain." .”

Lu Jiao thought about it, and felt that it was such a rationale. It was really inappropriate for her to push back and forth after being rewarded happily.

"okay, I get it."

The next day, Lu Jiao entered the palace with a lot of make-up to thank her, and first went to the Queen's Kunning Palace to meet the Queen.

The queen is Pei Yu, the granddaughter of Pei Shoufu. When Pei Yu saw Lu Jiao, he helped Lu Jiao up without waiting for Lu Jiao to salute, "Mrs. Zhou Guo, please sit down quickly."

Lu Jiao looked at Pei Yu with a smile and said, "The empress is too polite."

Pei Yu said playfully: "You brought up your majesty, not to mention me, even your majesty will be so particular. From now on, madam, please treat me as your own daughter-in-law. Don't tell me any rules. If you come to the palace , let’s chat happily, if Madam has anything to do, you can come to me directly.”

After the queen finished speaking, she grabbed Lu Jiao's sleeve and acted coquettishly.
