Chapter 126 How did she offend His Majesty?
She said that she just wanted to live a quiet life in Yi County, and after hearing her analysis of the situation in the court, she felt that Su Yueyao was indeed a talent. Originally, she really didn't want to force a painter to join the Academy of Literature or come to Fengdu. After all, as a woman, she should be pampered by a man.
But after hearing this, she didn't want to let Su Yueyao enjoy herself that way. As her majesty, she had to deal with state affairs day and night, and had to compete with a group of aristocratic families. At night, she had to sleep with men she didn't like for the sake of offspring. She was about to vomit after taking the fertility-enhancing fruit. Why should she let Su Yueyao enjoy herself so much?
The special shadow guard told her about the fairy-like life that Su Yueyao lived in the mansion and how she and her three husbands were...
After hearing this, she had only one idea, which was to call Su Yueyao over. She was such a smart person, she must have a way to deal with the aristocratic family.
Since she doesn't have an umbrella, she doesn't want one either...
If Su Yueyao knew afterwards that it was because of her saying a few extra words that His Majesty insisted that she enter Fengdu, I wonder if she would go crazy...
Su Yueyao was shaken when she heard the eunuch's words. Yang Qianxun immediately supported her and said, "My wife is very happy. His Majesty trusts you so much. My wife doesn't have to worry."
Su Yueyao felt the strength in Yang Qianxun's hand, understood what he meant, and spoke immediately.
"You have come from afar and must be tired. Could you please come into my house and have a cup of tea?" Su Yueyao handed him a purse from her sleeve.
This was what Yang Qianxun prepared for her when she just heard the imperial edict had arrived.
"I am a fifth-rank eunuch serving Your Majesty. My name is Fuxin, and you can just call me by my name, Lady Su." Fuxin took the purse handed over by Su Yueyao, squeezed it, and said with a satisfied smile.
The palace maids and stewards in the imperial palace all have ranks, and they are just servants of the royal family. The eunuchs with ranks are in charge of other eunuchs in the palace.
The highest third-rank eunuchs are the emperor's personal eunuchs. Once these eunuchs enter the palace, they have only two choices: one is that the emperor will take a fancy to them and take them into the harem, and the other is that when they are about to die, they will be sent out of the palace.
This means that these eunuchs cannot leave the palace for the rest of their lives, except by death.
The men who become eunuchs are all sold from poor families, or some fatherless and abandoned men, who are between the ages of ten and fifteen. These include men with good looks and physiques. Most of those who are not selected are sent to His Majesty's Shadow Guard Camp for training.
Officials and men from aristocratic families are not allowed to become eunuchs. I guess they are afraid that these eunuchs will have secret communications with outsiders and pass on information!
"Lady Su, the prefect of Yangfu City and I have come together to announce the decree. His Majesty has specifically instructed that it might be unsafe for you and your gentlemen to go to Fengdu, so he specifically asked you, your gentlemen and I to go to Fengdu together."
"His Majesty has given you a day to pack your luggage. Don't worry, Lady Su. These guards are his majesty's imperial guards. They are all first-class experts and will protect you well." Fu Xin explained with a smile.
Su Yueyao felt like fainting when she heard this. What did His Majesty mean? Was he afraid that she would not go after receiving the imperial edict? Or was there really someone who wanted to kill her on the way? Even her husband was going with her, so how could she have offended His Majesty... His Majesty wanted to do this.
She knew that she might go to Fengdu these days, but she still wanted to come back! But the decree issued by His Majesty made her feel like she would never come back! Otherwise, why would he let her take all the gentlemen with her?
And she had someone to protect her before she even reached Fengdu. Wasn't it really dangerous on the way? She didn't want to go... not at all...
Yang Qianxun looked at Su Yueyao's pale face and pulled her clothes, indicating that he should greet the prefect.
"Su Yueyao meets the prefect."
"Please stand up, Miss Su. His Majesty appreciates you so much, so don't let him down. You are the first new painter in the entire Yangfu City this year! I will set off with you tomorrow, and I have also specially prepared a banquet for you in Yangfu City." said Prefect Xun.
Su Yueyao then looked up at Prefect Xun, a man who was probably in his thirties. He looked very dignified and tall.
"Your Excellency the Prefect, there is no need for a banquet. I am also going to Fengdu according to the imperial decree, and it would not be good to affect my journey." Su Yueyao refused.
"I have already asked the eunuch Fu Xin. We will set out tomorrow morning and arrive in Yangfu City just in time for lunch. I have invited some literati and scholars from Yangfu City. Miss Su does not have to worry." Prefect Xun said with a smile.
"..."
"Miss Su, please have someone pack the luggage today! The prefect and I will stay at the post station tonight." Fu Xin, the eunuch, said politely.
"Okay, Eunuch Fuxin, I'll take my leave first." Su Yueyao bowed to everyone and went straight into the mansion.
She needs to digest it.....She will leave Yi County tomorrow, and she is afraid that she will not have the chance to come back in the future...
Prefect Xun and Magistrate Wen were also talking outside.
"County Magistrate Wen is so lucky that his nephew married such a talented woman like Miss Su. I heard that Miss Su was not so outstanding before, and it was only after your nephew, Young Master Yang, married Su Yueyao that she became so outstanding. His Majesty rarely issues special decrees to reward her." Prefect Xun said congratulatingly.
"You are joking, Mr. Prefect. Yueyao is lucky. My nephew just helped a little." County Magistrate Wen said with a smile.
"That's good too. Now that Lady Su has been appreciated by His Majesty, she will have a bright future in Fengdu in the future. Congratulations."
"Then I will take advantage of your good wishes, Your Excellency the Prefect. I have prepared a meal for you and Fu Xin, the eunuch, at the post station. Please move on."
"Okay, let's go."
Afterwards, half of the guards stayed at the gate of Su's mansion, and the other half followed to the post station.
