Chapter 479: Chapter 332: To Become an Admirable Woman (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
Mrs. Ning was the first to leave, because someone was sent from Manager Su’s side saying there was an urgent matter. Fu Zhen first saw her off, then sent away the Liang family, and returned to the courtyard with Pei Zhan.
The journey was silent, because Pei Zhan walked so quickly, really too quickly. Fu Zhen had just passed the Ruyi Gate, and he had already turned the corner and disappeared!
Zi Yan and Bi Xi, who had been waiting for who knows how long, hurriedly came up to serve Fu Zhen. After glancing at her, they couldn’t help but ask, "We heard, heard that the Young Madam is going to do that with the General... is it true?"
There were so many people coming and going in the manor today, there must be some rumors going around, so it’s not surprising they heard about it.
Fu Zhen didn’t give a clear answer. Bi Xi leaned in to look at her face, "I don’t think so. Otherwise, the Young Madam’s face wouldn’t have a peach blossom glow."
Fu Zhen turned to look at her, "Where is the peach blossom?"
Bi Xi pointed here and there on her face, "Here, here, and there, and there, everywhere!"
Fu Zhen was at a loss for words.
"Bi Xi, go fetch water for the Young Madam to wash up."
Zi Yan called Bi Xi away, then walked up herself, carefully observing Fu Zhen for a moment before saying, "I was worried all day, afraid you might act on impulse. Luckily, it was a false alarm."
With that, she picked up a comb and started doing Fu Zhen’s hair.
The lights in the courtyard remained lit until almost dawn that night.
Pei Zhan went to his duties as usual, and after breakfast, Fu Zhen intended to visit Mrs. Ning at the Ning Family. But just as she sent someone out, the steward hurriedly came to :
"Two eunuchs have come from the palace with a decree; the Emperor and Empress want to summon the Young Madam at the Qianqing Palace!"
After Xu Yin was successfully captured, the palace had already issued a decree, intending to reward all those who captured the imperial criminal. Among the names was Fu Zhen’s.
Fu Zhen had anticipated such a summons, but she also knew the Emperor’s old illness had flared up again in recent days. After the Crown Prince was executed, many matters needed handling, so the reward matter would surely be delayed.
No thought it would come so quickly!
Fu Zhen, having already been granted a title shortly after her marriage, didn’t need to say much. She quickly called her maids to help her dress and prepare, hurriedly heading to the front courtyard to receive the decree.
Pei Yu and Mrs. Pei among others had already arrived and were chatting with the two senior eunuchs An Ting from Qianqing Palace.
The two eunuchs had joyful expressions, so there was no need to question; it was surely as suspected; the imperial couple had made time and wanted to award her in person.
"So this is the Young Madam!"
The eunuchs in Qianqing Palace were shrewd individuals. This one, just like the one who had met Fu Zhen at Prince Rong’s Mansion, reacted the same way.
Fu Zhen was adept at handling such formalities, maintaining a balanced demeanor, thanked them politely, greeted them, and kneeled to receive the decree.
The imperial decree merely stated a summons, without expressly saying it was for reward, but since the meeting place was Qianqing Palace, it didn’t need explanation.
Mrs. Pei grabbed her hand after listening, "Your appearance is too plain, how can you go like this to meet the Emperor and Empress? Come with me!"
Saying this, she pulled her out of the main hall, and without entering any room, instructed her on some court etiquette in a secluded spot. To Fu Zhen, with her past lifetime’s experience, it seemed like Mrs. Pei was imparting all her lifelong experiences in dealing with palace nobility.
Finally, Mrs. Pei looked at Fu Zhen’s face left and right, praising, "With a face like this, even plain can’t be considered undignified."
But she still pulled off her most precious phoenix hairpin of the day and pinned it on Fu Zhen’s head, "There’s no time to go back inside; go now. Just answer whatever the Empress asks, and even if there’s a small mistake, she won’t mind."
Fu Zhen nodded deeply, bid them farewell, and got into the sedan chair.
The road to the palace was very familiar, and after entering the palace gates and getting off the large sedan chair, she found a small cushioned chair was already waiting inside, clearly a setup from the Empress’s palace.
Fu Zhen bowed towards the inner palace from afar, then rode the chair towards Qianqing Palace.
Yesterday, Pei Zhan mentioned that after seeing Prince Rong and his son at the Dali Temple, he went to Qianqing Palace to check on the Emperor. Although he didn’t enter, judging by the situation, the Emperor’s condition wasn’t particularly good.
So logically, after merely two or three days, he shouldn’t have recovered so quickly. Why was there such urgency to see her now?
While Fu Zhen pondered this, she observed the surroundings along the way. Soon, she reached the outside of Qianqing Palace, and through the entire hall, she could faintly smell medicinal herbs.
The eunuch at the gate went inside to announce her presence and soon came out inviting Fu Zhen to enter respectfully.
