218 Chapter 218 The wife is honored and the husband is expensive (2)
"My master and Dr. Cao went to Yao Shangshu's mansion for treatment. Because my uncle's wound has recovered relatively well, so the master dared to let me come down to change your dressing." The doctor who changed the dressing applied the medicine to Rong Xia while He whispered, "Uncle, your injury is almost healed, and you can drink the medicine for nourishing qi and blood according to the prescription prescribed by my master."
"Thank you." Rong Xia nodded to him.
"Don't dare." The doctor hurriedly returned a salute, turned around and put the medicine into the medicine box, before he had time to say goodbye, he heard the servants of the Rong family say that the palace official came to announce the decree.
Rong Xia put on his robe, and his servants helped him to the main hall.
The official who announced the decree came from the Ministry of Rites. When he saw Rong Xia coming out, he greeted him first before saying, "My lord Rong, I'd like to congratulate you first."
"I don't know... why do you like it?" When Rong Xia saw the imperial decree in his hand, she was about to kneel down, but was supported by an official from the Ministry of Rites.
"Master Rong, His Majesty has said that because of your injuries, you are authorized to stand and listen to orders."
"How can this be done?" Rong Xia made a gesture that he had to kneel, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites supported him and said, "Master Rong, this is His Majesty's oral order. If you kneel down, wouldn't it be a waste of His Majesty's heart?"
"Oh," Rong Xia cupped her fists towards the palace, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
The official of the Ministry of Rites smiled, then unfolded the imperial decree in his hand, shook it, and read it in a cadenced tone.
In the first half of the imperial decree, Rong Xia's virtue and ability were praised with all kinds of beautiful words, and finally the key point was highlighted, that is, he, the emperor, was going to promote Rong Xia to the title of Lord Marquis.
Rong Xia really did not expect that he would receive such an imperial edict, he was taken aback for a moment, and then saluted to thank him.
"Congratulations, Lord Rong," the official from the Ministry of Rituals saluted Rong Xia, with an extremely gentle smile on his face.
"Lord Lao, I've made this trip." Rong Xia returned the gift, and Du Jiu, who was behind him, gave the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the accompanying people purses, which they called tea money. Generally, this kind of money is not rejected by everyone, and it can be considered happy.
The Xuanzhi officer left happily, and was sent all the way to the gate by the servants of Rong's mansion. He rode on his horse and said to a high-ranking eunuch who was traveling with him: "Master Rong's demeanor is not damaged even if he is injured. ah."
"Isn't it?" The eunuch looked only in his twenties, and his smile was very pleasant. Few people in the palace dared to offend him, because he had a good master, Wang De, the head of the palace, known as the king. Xizi, it is said that the empress herself chose this festive name, "The miscellaneous family thinks that Lord Rong has a strong character, which is admirable."
The two looked at each other and smiled, not mentioning Rong Xia's punishment before.
"Ouch." Wang Xizi suddenly shouted, patted the horse, and stepped aside. Seeing this, the little eunuchs behind him followed suit, even though they hadn't even figured out what happened.
The Xuanzhi officer looked up in surprise, only to realize why this handsome prince hurriedly avoided. It turned out that Princess Fule was coming from the front on a horse.
The Xuanzhi officer is only a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites, and he doesn't see Princess Fuller many times, but as long as he sees the white horse that Princess Fuller is riding, he knows that the other party is not low, because this kind of horse It is a tribute horse, a nobleman who is not high enough to be favored enough, even if he asks for it, he will not be able to get it, even if he asks for it, he will not dare to ride on the street.
"My servant has seen Princess Fuller." The prince jumped off his horse and saluted Ban Hua attentively, regardless of whether Ban Hua could hear his voice.
"Call."
Banhua's horse stopped, she looked down at the young man in the dark blue eunuch uniform, tilted her head for a while and thought, and said, "You are the father-in-law Wang Xizi who serves in front of the empress."
"The princess still remembers the servant girl. The servant girl is really lucky." Wang Xizi looked surprised and saw that Banhua's eyes were shining. "Don't dare to bear the word father-in-law. The princess just calls the servant girl Xiaoxizi." Said To put it bluntly, if Princess Fule could remember her name, it would be an honor for eunuchs like them.
People in the palace, who don't see all directions and listen to all directions, which empress is favored by the emperor, which prince or princess has a bad temper, what taboos does your majesty have, which emperor's relatives have the most face in front of the empress, and any eunuch with some knowledge Maid, she understands all this information clearly.
For example, the owner of Fule County is a master who cannot be offended. They would rather offend the concubine princess than make this noble master feel unhappy in the slightest. Two years ago, there was a court lady who was short-sighted and criticized Princess Fuller's marriage. After Princess Fuller found out, Princess Fuller just glanced at him and said nothing. But since then, this court lady who used to have some dignity has become a rough envoy. He has seen this court lady a few days ago, she is old and ugly, how can she be as delicate as two years ago?
It's not that Fule County is mainly embarrassing her, but that someone knew that Princess Fuller was unhappy, and specially went to the empress to complain to the empress, so as to please the empress and princess Fule. It's not surprising what happens to people in the harem who can't control their mouths.
Gossiping about people and worrying about clothes and jewelry is the life of noble ladies. If a palace maid dares to do this, it is the temperament of a lady and the life of a servant girl.
Even the master, Mr. Wang, once told him some noble masters who should not be offended. Princess Fule must not be offended. Recently, the master specifically mentioned it to him again. Be more respectful and courteous.
Although he didn't understand the reason, what his master said would naturally not harm him, so he just followed it.
"In a few years, I should call you Daxizi." Seeing Wang Xizi's attentive appearance, Ban Hua couldn't help laughing, "Where did you come from?"
"My servant has been serving in the Great Moon Palace recently, and I have the honor to accompany the Lord of the Ministry of Rites to announce the decree to the Marquis of Cheng An. I just came out of the Marquis of Cheng An's mansion." Wang Xizi said another big gift to Ban Hua, "Congratulations, Princess."
Ban Hua was taken aback for a moment, and then realized what the words meant: "Marquis Cheng An, has he been promoted to the title?"
"Back to Princess, that's true. Wang Xizi responded with a smile.
"So that's how it is." Ban Hua took out a purse and threw it to Wang Xizi, "I gave it to you for tea."
"Thank you Princess." Wang Xizi held the purse in both hands, looked up again, Princess Fule had already rode away on horseback, and the guards behind her followed neatly on horseback, looking very majestic.
This is the real noble lady of everyone, and she is generous in her actions.
