C151

A decree was given, causing the old lady to pause in her attempt to speak.

Mo Weinong did not understand, an imperial decree?

Seeing that, the eunuch wrinkled his brows and reminded again, "Female Envoy Mo, hurry up and dress up to receive the imperial edict."

While they were talking, Deng Mama also came in. He spoke a few words to the eunuch and immediately brought Mo Weinong to change clothes.

The clothes were still stained with dirt and there were claw marks on the sleeves and the hem of her skirt. It was unknown where she had gotten them from.

After they left, the eunuch also left the room.

The only ones left in the room were the old granny, Marquis's Wife, and Mo Qianzhu. The Marquis's Wife did not place Mo Qianzhu in his eyes at all, as she lowered his eyes and asked softly, "How did the emperor come to have an imperial decree? Or was it the decree aimed at Mo Weinong, what happened? "

The old lady shook her head and suddenly turned to Mo Qianzhu, "Do you know what happened?"

"In the morning, Weinong talked back to Zhang Daju, it can't be, it can't be..." However, Mo Qianzhu's face was pale. Thinking about what happened in the academy, a bad premonition flashed across her heart.

From a single glance, Zhang Dazhu looked like someone who didn't get along well with Weinong and stuck to the rules. Since Weinong had humiliated him in front of everyone, Zhang Dazhu would probably think that he was not respected.

After all, Weinong did not have a high status and had just become a Royal Female Envoy. Would the emperor think that just because she had become a Female Envoy that she looked down on others?

When he thought of this, Mo Qianzhu's heart filled with worry. Without thinking, he ran out the door, "I, I'm going to find Princess Le Chen."

The most esteemed person she knew was Princess Le Chen. She didn't even speak a word to the empress, and didn't dare to ask for it. She was afraid that if she were to offend her, it would be even more disadvantageous for Weinong.

Princess Le Chen was doted upon by the Emperor.

As soon as she left, the old lady's lips curled up into a smile. "You heard it too. You contradicted a great scholar …"

"It seems that she doesn't need us to find trouble for her. She would have already brought disaster upon herself."

"And judging from the attitude of that eunuch just now, his complexion is clearly not well. It's obviously not good news."

Hearing this, the Marquis's Wife was a little excited, "Will the emperor directly strip Mo Weinong of her identity as a Royal Female Envoy?" After all, hadn't they just recently deprived Ji Haolin of his Male Envoy identity?

Thinking about Ji Haolin, Marquis's Wife felt that it was a pity. If he could make a contribution to the capital as an envoy, Emperor Xuanwu, who had high hopes for him in the first place, might give him a lot more use. In the future, his rise to greatness would not even be a problem.

With such a son-in-law, their daughter's future definitely would not be underestimated, and their Marquis Mansion would also become several times more respected.

Sigh, what a pity.

"If Mo Weinong's status as a Female Envoy is taken away, maybe Drizzling Jade can still be a Female Envoy." The old lady said, "After all, in the last round of the Emperor's research, Xianyu was second only to Weinong. Without her, Xianyu would most likely be in the top."

The Marquis's Wife nodded his head repeatedly. That's right, when they came, they had this idea, to have Mo Weinong take the initiative to resign from their Female Envoy status, or to be like the former Female Envoy Yang who was sick and could not bear the heavy responsibility. As long as she did not do it, the title would fall on Mo Qianyu's shoulders.

"Later on, if Drifting Jade becomes the Royal Female Envoy, I must warn her not to offend those scholars, do you hear me?"

"Yes, yes." Marquis's Wife hurriedly replied.

Only then did the old lady begin to tidy up her clothes and hair ornaments. Feeling that there were no problems, she said, "Let's go. We will also listen to the imperial edict from the front."

"Alright."

Marquis's Wife helped the old lady out of the house. His footsteps were obviously anxious and excited.

Although they were guests, in the empress dowager's palace, they naturally couldn't pretend that they didn't know when the imperial edict was coming. There was a need for them to kneel in front of her and listen.

When the two of them arrived at the front hall, Mo Weinong still hadn't arrived, so the only people standing there were Mo Qianzhu and Princess Le Chen.

Princess Le Chen was trying to find out the contents of the imperial edict, but the eunuch who issued the imperial edict shut his mouth tightly, unwilling to say anything.

However, there was a trace of relief on her face, which made Princess Le Chen feel slightly more at ease.

The Eunuch with the edict was one of the disciples of Chief Eunuch He Gu. With his expression, the imperial edict shouldn't be too harmful to Weinong.

Therefore, she once again returned to Mo Qianzhu's side, and said softly, "We'll talk about this after the imperial edict has been read out. Moreover, the Empress really likes Weinong as well. She would definitely not watch her get punished without doing anything. "

Mo Qianzhu could only nod her head, and peek out from time to time, "Why isn't Weinong here yet?"

At this time, Mo Weinong was also being interrogated by the Deng Mama, "... Do you have any idea? You have only been in the palace for a day, and the emperor has already given you an imperial edict. "You have to know, the emperor doesn't pay too much attention to the affairs of the Royal Female Envoy. You …"

"Momo, I really have no idea. Let's go out and listen to the imperial edict first." Mo Weinong blushed with shame. Thinking about the Emperor Xuanwu who asked her to call him Senior Brother, she felt extremely pained.

What was the point in saying that in front of her? The sudden appearance of this imperial edict made everyone's hearts flustered.

When Deng Mama saw that she did not seem to care too much about him, he became a little stuffy and could only wrap up her clothes as soon as possible and lead her out. However, he had still said a few words to a small palace maid in the middle of a gap she didn't notice and told her to send a message to Prince Yan.

When Mo Weinong arrived at the front hall, everyone's gaze uniformly landed on her.

The old lady and Marquis's Wife stood there unmoving, but Mo Qianzhu walked over to welcome them.

Just as she was about to speak, the esteemed empress arrived with her palace maid, the mama.

The eunuch gave her a bow before smiling. "This servant pays his respects to the empress."

The Queen smiled to excuse him from being courteous, then walked to Mo Weinong's side and said amiably, "Don't worry."

"Yes."

"Mo Weinong kneels down to receive the decree." The Eunuch took two steps back and activated the imperial edict in his hands.

Mo Weinong kneeled down, and the ground behind him fell heavily.

Only then did the eunuch speak loudly, "The emperor has decreed that the new Royal Female Envoy, Mo Weinong, is both talented and intelligent. "As a result, purple sandalwood was specially given with a jade scepter, an Agate Lingzhi cup, four hundred and fifty taels of silver, nine bundles of incense, one brocade, eight rolls of silk refined, eight pears specially provided, twelve catties of lychee, and eight kilograms of kumquat …"

As the eunuch read out one item after another, the eunuchs and palace maids came in one by one. Each of them held onto a tray in their hands. The tray was originally covered with a silk cloth, but now that it was lifted off, the contents were revealed.

Everyone kneeling in the hall heard the words that entered their ears in shock. They felt as if … It was completely unreal.
