After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Chapter 212 Entering the palace to express gratitude

Madam Yang digested the information about the “monster” for a while, then said, “Forget it, I will no longer interfere in Xingren’s marriage.

I don’t care whether he will take a concubine in the future or not. Let the couple decide for themselves.

I'm old, I'm useless, I can't control it anyway, just leave it to you."

Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Madam, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Everyone's life is different. Let them make their own way. You and the old marquis can just stay at home and wait to hold your great-grandchildren."

Hearing about having a great-grandson, Madam Yang also smiled, "That's right! Xingren, you guys better hurry up and give grandma a few more great-grandchildren."

Wang Xingren scratched his head, "Grandma, I'll do my best."

After things were settled, Zhang Hulan said goodbye and left, "Okay, I won't bother the old marquis and the old lady anymore.

I still have to go home and clean up the house, so I'll take my leave now."

Madam Yang nodded, "Okay!"

Lord Wang said, "I need to go to the palace. I need to report this matter to the emperor. The court must order some control."

After Zhang Hulan left, Madam Yang said to the nanny, "Go tell Xiaorong that the matter between Li He and Xing Ren is over and don't mention it again.

Tell them about this inbreeding, and I'll find a good marriage for Li He."

"Yes, old lady!"

The nanny left the house immediately and went to tell Wang Xiaorong in person.

The nanny told Wang Xiaorong and Li He everything. The mother and daughter didn't say anything after hearing it, but there was resentment in their eyes.

As soon as the nanny left, Li He said angrily, "Mom, they are just looking for excuses to fool us. There are so many cousins ​​getting married, why haven't I seen any children with problems?"

Wang Xiaorong sneered, "A bunch of country bumpkins dare to compete with us. I think they are tired of living..."

Li He widened her eyes, "Mom, you can't be..."

Wang Xiaorong waved her hand. "Don't worry about it. Mother knows what's going on. A country girl wants to marry into a rich family. Is she worthy of it..."

……

Zhang Hulan returned home and Ye Hongling was still there.

Knowing that the matter had been resolved, Ye Hongling, Wang Shi and Li Shi felt relieved.

Getting married is a happy event, but if it causes discord in the family, that is not a good thing.

Ye Hongling didn't go back until almost noon.

Ye Hongyun didn't come in the morning because she went to Duke Wei's house. She came to visit in the afternoon.

After Ye Hongyun came over, he said to Zhang Hulan, "You have been granted an imperial decree, so it would be fine if you were not in the capital. But now that you are in the capital, you must go to the palace to express your gratitude.

In addition, if you plan to send your nephew to study at the Imperial College, you must also report to the Imperial College."

Zhang Hulan asked, "Is it too late for me to go now? The court hasn't closed for the New Year holiday yet."

It was already the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, and every household was preparing for the New Year. Zhang Hulan thought the imperial court should also take a holiday.

"No, the court won't be closed until New Year's Eve. You can just go tomorrow morning."

To be honest, Zhang Hulan was a little nervous.

Meeting the emperor, the living emperor, made me feel a little nervous.

She didn't know the procedure for entering the palace, so she quickly asked Ye Hongyun, "How do I get to the palace? Do I need to wear the imperial robes? What should I say to the emperor when I see him?"

Ye Hongyun smiled and said, "I will go to the palace to see my sister tomorrow. I will take you to the palace gate, and then the guards will pass on the message.

If the emperor lets you in, the guards will lead you in.

If the emperor doesn't have time, then you don't have to go in.

The emperor may not see you, but you cannot not go.

As for what to say, just answer whatever the Emperor asks you, and just say something nice."

The next morning, Ye Hongyun came to Zhang Hulan to pick her up.

Zhang Hulan put on the imperial robes and went to the palace with Ye Hongyun.

Ye Hongyun said a few words to the guards at the palace gate, and the guards asked them to wait, and then two guards went to report.

One went to the imperial study and the other went to the harem.

After half an incense stick of time, the guard came back and said, "The emperor is with the concubine. You can go in."

Ye Hongyun was stunned for a moment, "What a coincidence."

Ye Hongyun said to Zhang Hulan, "Come on, come in with me."

The guards all knew that Ye Hongyun was Concubine Ye's sister and had often entered the palace before, so they didn't need to lead the way.

Zhang Hulan followed Ye Hongyun into the palace and it took them half an hour to reach Concubine Ye's bedroom.

When they reached the door, the palace servant went in to report, and then the two of them entered.

Ye Hongyun stared at Zhang Hulan and said, "Don't look up for a while."

Zhang Hulan thought, if I don’t take a good look around the palace, wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?

However, despite what she thought, Zhang Hulan still followed Ye Hongyun obediently, walking forward with her head down.

Ye Hongyun stopped in front and Zhang Hulan almost bumped into Ye Hongyun.

Ye Hongyun knelt down, and Zhang Hulan also knelt down quickly.

"Your Highness, I bow to you, Your Highness, and Your Highness the Imperial Concubine!"

Zhang Hulan also quickly spoke up: "Your Highness, I, Zhang Hulan, pay my respects to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine!"

Emperor Yongxing's voice rang out, "Everyone, get up."

Ye Hongyun stood up, but Zhang Hulan was still kneeling.

Zhang Hulan continued to kowtow and said, "I, your Majesty, have been blessed with the imperial decree. This honor is like the radiance of the sun and moon.

I am deeply grateful and will definitely remember your grace, teach my family to fulfill their duties, pray for Your Majesty, and serve the country in order to repay Your Majesty's kindness in any eventuality.

May Your Majesty be blessed with great fortune, live forever, prosper the country, and enjoy peace and prosperity throughout the world."

Emperor Yongxing's voice sounded again, "Get up."

Only then did Zhang Hulan stand up.

"Keep your head up."

Zhang Hulan slowly raised his head and looked at the ground in front of him, without looking at Emperor Yongxing.

Emperor Yongxing looked at her for a moment and said, "This is not the first time I have heard of your name. You have made many contributions. Now I am conferring you an imperial edict as a recognition and reward for your achievements.

In the future, you should continue to uphold this virtue, do more good deeds for the local people, and set an example for women all over the world."

Zhang Hulan hurriedly and respectfully replied, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. I am humbled and humbled. I only wish to serve you to the best of my ability and to promote your benevolence under your protection."

Emperor Yongxing nodded slightly. He felt that Zhang Hulan did not look like a country woman.

Not to mention the country women, even the wives of some ministers in the court were trembling in fear when facing him, but Zhang Hulan was very calm when responding, which shows that he has a good character.

Emperor Yongxing asked, "I will allow one of your nephews to study at the Imperial College. Have you decided on a candidate? If you have, he should report to the Imperial College after the New Year."

"Your Majesty, it has been decided. I have no sons, only three daughters, so after discussing with my parents, I decided to allow my eldest brother's son to enter the Imperial College."

Emperor Yongxing nodded and said, "The Imperial College is a place for cultivating talents. You should instruct your nephew to be strict with himself and study hard. Only then can he become a pillar of society and serve the court in the future."

Zhang Hulan thanked him again, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness on my nephew's behalf. I will urge my nephew to follow your teachings and live up to your expectations."

"Well, you go ahead." Emperor Yongxing waved his hand.
