The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 121 Entering the palace to express gratitude

Tang Peipei was so tired that she slept until five o'clock in the morning.

It was getting light outside. A maid knocked on the door and asked, "Is Madam awake yet?"

Tang Peipei felt that it was not easy to be a maid in a wealthy family in ancient times. She had just woken up and was sitting up to drink some water when people outside knew about it.

Tang Peipei quickly replied, "Yes."

The maid pushed the door open and came in, slightly bent her knees, and saluted, "Your servant Xia Shuang greets the Madam!"

Tang Peipei was a little confused, and said according to the plot he remembered from the TV: "Get up."

Xia Shuang said, "Thank you, Madam!" Then she stood up and walked to Tang Peipei and asked, "Madam, you are going to the palace to express your gratitude today. After all, you are newly married, so you have to wear something festive. What do you think is suitable for you, Madam?"

Xia Shuang pointed to two sets of clothes hanging on the clothes rack, one was a white skirt with a red wide-sleeved outer skirt, and the other was a red Liuxian skirt.

Tang Peipei chose a skirt with wide sleeves.

Several maids came in one after another from outside the door, bringing toiletries and helping Tang Peipei wash, change clothes and put on makeup.

Tang Peipei looked at the maids' smooth movements and felt a little impressed by them.

With the help of the maids, Tang Peipei quickly packed up.

When we arrived at the flower hall, Princess Qinghe was feeding porridge to the little girl.

The little dumpling seemed very happy. Before Princess Qinghe's spoon even reached his mouth, he opened his mouth and waited to eat.

Tang Peipei bowed to Princess Qinghe and said, "Good morning, mother!"

In fact, the nanny had told her before about paying respects to the elders. Now when she saw Princess Qinghe in the flower hall, Tang Peipei felt a little embarrassed for a moment because she seemed to have forgotten about it.

Princess Qinghe didn't mind and smiled, saying, "Come and sit down to have breakfast. The emperor should still be in the morning court. It's just right for us to eat and then leave."

Tang Peipei nodded, and as soon as she sat down, a maid came forward to help her serve the food.

Tang Peipei ate the buns on the plate and drank a bowl of porridge in silence.

Princess Qinghe fed the little dumpling while saying, "When we enter the palace later, just follow me. When something happens, act according to circumstances and try to say less and make fewer mistakes."

Tang Peipei responded: "Yes."

Princess Qinghe also comforted him, "But you don't have to be nervous when you meet the emperor. Now Jintang has been sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief, and he even sent her away on your wedding night. The emperor will probably feel sorry for you, so I think he will be more tolerant of you. As long as it's not a big mistake, the emperor won't make things difficult for you."

Tang Peipei was actually more or less clear in her mind, and responded, "I know, mother. I will follow you obediently today and won't say anything nonsense."

Princess Qinghe nodded.

After dinner, the butler had already arranged a carriage to the palace.

The carriage was of the specifications that a general's wife should have. This carriage was specially prepared by Mu Jintang for Tang Peipei. It not only had a night light inside, but was also covered with soft cushions, making it very comfortable to sit in.

Because it was summer, there was ice in the carriage, so it was very cool when we got in.

Princess Qinghe also got on Tang Peipei's carriage and asked Tang Peipei along the way whether he was familiar with the rules of the palace and what he didn't understand.

And so we went all the way to the palace gate.

After entering the second gate, Tang Peipei and Princess Qinghe got off the carriage. They had to walk in on their own.

When Princess Qinghe and Tang Peipei arrived at the emperor's study, the emperor had just finished discussing something with his ministers.

The ministers who came out of the imperial study looked at Tang Peipei curiously.

Tang Peipei stood behind Princess Qinghe with her head lowered.

A eunuch came to announce, "The Emperor invites the Princess and the General's wife in."

Princess Qinghe took Tang Peipei into the imperial study.

"Your humble servant Qinghe and my daughter-in-law Tang Peipei have come to the palace to express our gratitude! Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!" Princess Qinghe pulled Tang Peipei to kneel in front of the emperor, said loudly, then bent down and kowtowed.

Tang Peipei followed suit.

The emperor said, "Everyone, stand up." Then he said to Eunuch Du behind him, "Please take a seat."

Eunuch Du asked someone to bring two stools.

Princess Qinghe thanked him and sat down. Tang Peipei stood behind her and secretly glanced at the emperor who was sitting on the throne.

I was curious and thought: This is the ancient emperor. As expected, he has such extraordinary aura and majesty that people dare not look at him for too long.

The emperor sighed and said, "Is this Jin Tang's new wife?"

Tang Peipei hurried forward and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I am Mu Jintang's wife, Tang Peipei."

Seeing that Tang Peipei was neither humble nor arrogant and spoke in a steady voice, the emperor was quite satisfied with her.

He said, "The situation in Qianzhou is not very good right now. Are you unhappy that I sent people to Qianzhou on your wedding night?"

Tang Peipei said, "Your Majesty, I am indeed a little unhappy. On this wedding night, I have to be separated from my husband. No one would be happy about this. However, I also understand that my husband is going to help the people. This is a righteous cause. I cannot ignore the righteous cause for my own little family and disregard the emperor and the people."

The emperor was stunned by Tang Peipei's righteous words, and then smiled and said, "Good, what a righteous statement. It is a blessing for General Mu and me that Madam Mu can have such an understanding."

Tang Peipei said: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."

The emperor suddenly looked at Princess Qinghe and said, "Qinghe, you have made a good choice to marry a daughter-in-law."

Princess Qinghe stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, you are too kind!"

The emperor said, "I have delayed your wedding night, and I should make some compensation. Come here."

Eunuch Du stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty."

The emperor said, "Give Madam Mu the pair of jade bracelets and the basin of red coral that the Wa Kingdom presented as tribute the other day. Also, pick out some other good items and send them to General Wei De's residence."

Eunuch Du took the order and went out.

Princess Qinghe and Tang Peipei knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Tang Peipei complained in her heart: No wonder Xiaoyanzi invented the idea of ​​kneeling being easy. In just a short while, I have already kneeled twice. If I stay in the palace for too long, my knees will probably be crippled.

Even though I complained in my heart, I was still very happy when I heard about the gifts given by the emperor.

The emperor asked some more questions about Tang Peipei's previous life in Qianzhou, and then let Princess Qinghe and her mother-in-law leave.

Princess Qinghe pulled Tang Peipei to leave the palace, as it would be easier to leave early.

However, some people did not want peace to last, so they sent people to wait at the palace gate early. When they saw Princess Qinghe and Tang Peipei coming out of the Qianqing Palace, they went to greet them.

"Greetings to Princess Qinghe and Madam Mu!" A palace maid in purple bowed slowly.

When Princess Qinghe saw the people, she was not happy in her heart, but she did not show it on her face. She said gently, "Aunt Qin, please don't be polite."

Aunt Qin smiled and said, "Princess, the Queen heard that General Mu's new wife is a stunning beauty, and she was very curious. Just after hearing that Madam Mu entered the palace, she wanted to see Madam Mu's beauty."

Tang Peipei couldn't help but complain in her heart, she was not an animal in a zoo, so how could he meet her whenever he wanted?

However, in this matter, she really is someone who can see her whenever she wants.
