Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was surprised by the esteemed empress's warmth, but after hesitating for a moment, she supported herself up with He Xiang's hand and respectfully lowered his head. "I wonder what orders the empress has for calling chenqie here?"

Seeing Xiao Ruyue watching her silently, a sense of apprehension arose in her heart. She boldly asked, "Or, is it that chenqie has done something inappropriate in the past few days?"

"Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang misunderstood. You did well and there is nothing wrong with it. I didn't call you here to blame you. " Xiao Ruyue smiled gently, "On the contrary, in these past few days, you have been helping me with the affairs of the imperial harem.

"This was all instructed by the Empress. It's only right that chenqie should handle this matter. Chenqie doesn't dare to claim credit for it."

"That won't do. If there is a punishment, there is a reward. If there is a reward, there is a reward. Could it be that Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang wants me to become someone who breaks my promise? "

Xiao Ruyue was clearly smiling when she said this, but Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie felt an invisible pressure and pressure pressing on him, causing him to swallow all of the words that were about to leave her mouth.

Her knees went weak, and just as she stood up, she kneeled down again towards Xiao Ruyue, "Chenqie doesn't dare, chenqie deserves to die."

Xiao Ruyue directly instructed, "Wang, the empress dowager has rendered a meritorious service. Reward."

"Yes." Yin Lin agreed and took Xiao Ruyue's makeup case.

She was the empress's first-class maid, so she was naturally the one who dealt with the bounty.

"One for Eight Treasures Lotus and Kushiro, one for coral and two for jade bracelets." Three cloud brocade, two skysilk, and eight brocade. " Xiao Ruyue said casually, maintaining her composure.

Yin Lin recorded everything down, and took out everything that Xiao Ruyue had instructed him to do.

However, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was covered in cold sweat.

Any of these things were not things that she could obtain.

Yun Jin was a very rare treasure. As a tribute, only His Majesty and the Empress had the right to enjoy it. Although the Sky Silk was not as valuable as Yun Jin, it was still a treasure.

It was said that there were only a few pairs of these in the entire world. The East Mausoleum s of the Empress's mother naturally had their own property, but in the Da Xia Empire, these things were as precious as stepping into the heavens and picking the moon.

The goatee jade bracelet was even rarer. It came from a small country in the northwest, and was the finest of the soft jade. It was crystal clear, white, and smooth, almost flawless like white jade. It was a treasure among treasures!

It was especially true for the Eight Treasures Lotus, Zhushu. It took the palace's craftsmen a month to make it. His Majesty had specially prepared three of them for the empress!

One treasure after another was bestowed upon her. How could she be worthy of such great glory!

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie gritted her teeth and heavily kowtowed, "Empress, chenqie is inexperienced. What I have done is only a small matter and I do not dare to accept such a high reward."

Lotus Incense also knelt down and kowtowed as well. Her master's face was solemn, and seeing how flustered he was, she didn't dare to say anything.

Xiao Ruyue was not annoyed, after muttering to herself for a moment, she seemed to have realized something, "So Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang was worried that someone would question my rewards for you."

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang said, "Empress, chenqie is not …"

"Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang is a humble man, and does not know her own merits. I understand." But Xiao Ruyue did not wait for her to finish speaking, and smiled as he interrupted her.

"However, I have always clearly rewarded and punished people who have done well. This principle will not change. If anyone dares to speak ill of them behind their back, I will also let them know what they should say and what they should not say. Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang can also be at ease. "

To Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, from the last sentence, the Empress did not seem like she was trying to appease her, but was instead warning her.

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's eyelids could not help but quiver as well. Fortunately, she was kneeling on the ground with her head lowered, otherwise, if the Empress saw him, it would probably be troublesome.

She heaved a sigh of relief.

Yin Lin had already picked out the few treasures that she had instructed from Xiao Ruyue's makeup box, and then ordered Cai Yin to go to the warehouse to get Yun Jin, Tian Yin and the brocade.

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie knew that she could not refuse today's bestowment no matter what, so she knelt to receive it. She kowtowed solemnly and said in a serious tone, "Chenqie thanks the Empress for the gift."

"We are all sisters of our own, there is no need to be so courteous in the future. Lotus, quickly help your master up. " The smile on Xiao Ruyue's face never changed. It was gentle and warm, harmless.

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie said, "Thank you, esteemed empress."

He Xiang helped Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie up, and her eyes drifted towards Xiao Ruyue without leaving a trace. She couldn't help but think secretly, what was going on with the Empress today?

There was no reason for him to say that the Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie had rendered meritorious services to the imperial harem. He wanted to reward them, and he wanted to reward them with extremely good items.

The only thing he was afraid of was that the empress was going to harm his mistress again.

However, Xiao Ruyue's attitude made it so that no one could pick out the needle, so she could only suppress the doubt in her heart.

After Xiao Ruyue gave the seat to Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie and had Lu Yi serve the tea, she started to chat with Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie casually.

They did not talk about any big matters, but rather about the recent affairs of the palace.

The more they chatted, the more excited they got. They continued to invite laughter from within the Phoenix Palace.

"That little palace maid from the Sage Storage Palace had already hidden the stolen pearl so secretly. What exactly do you think, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, is that she was hidden in a vase?" Xiao Ruyue picked up the biscuit given by Lu Yi and took a bite, laughing merrily.

"Because when I was young, I hid my mother's pearl in a big vase at home. I saw the vase in the storage palace and I saw it. "

She was young, and her smile was innocent. It was very different from his lifeless appearance from before.

It was said that the luck of people who liked to laugh was not bad. Most probably, it was because when people laughed, their entire body would radiate with a different kind of radiance.

The vase was large and difficult to move. Normally, no one would touch it. Even if it was cleaned everyday, they would only use a duster to sweep the dust away. No matter what she said, it wasn't something anyone could think of.

This also proved that Mrs. Wang had taught him a very good daughter.

Xiao Ruyue nodded her head in appreciation. "Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang is truly astute, I need your help to take care of the matters in the palace."

"Chenqie will do everything in my power to thank the empress for her trust." Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie didn't know what the Empress meant, so she could only agree.

Xiao Ruyue laughed, then ate another piece of biscuit and took a sip of tea.

"It is said that having a girl means having a mother. Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie is so intelligent, it is true that she has contributed a lot."

When the king's Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie heard the empress mention her mother, her heart rose, but she was still able to remain calm on the surface. "The empress is flattering me, chenqie will be ashamed to accept it."

"I have seen Mrs. Wang twice. Mrs. Wang is as intelligent and as generous as Royal Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie. I want to invite Mrs. Wang to the palace tomorrow. I wonder what Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang thinks? " Xiao Ruyue looked at Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie with a teacup in her hand, as if pointing it at him.

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang also picked up his teacup, but because of Xiao Ruyue's words, her hands trembled and almost couldn't hold onto his cup.

"Esteemed Empress, my mother's concubine only did what you told her to. This is all part of her duty and she doesn't dare to ask for meritorious services. "Empress Dowager, since you've already given chenqie such a generous reward, how can chenqie take it back again? I hope the Empress can take back her orders."

While saying that, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang hurriedly put down her tea cup and knelt down.

"I am not happy when you say this," Xiao Ruyue said as he pulled down his face, "I have always given clear rewards and penalties to you, Wang Lu. Since you, the Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, have helped the harem, I shall reward you; but your mother, the Mrs. Wang, has taught you so well, so it is only right that I reward you.

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was momentarily speechless.

When He Xiang saw this scene, she finally understood. The empress had said so much to forgive him for scheming against his mistress.

But what did the empress have on her that she could seek? She could not understand, but she did not dare to make a sound. Seeing that Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was kneeling on the ground, unable to say anything, she kneeled down beside him.

"Nonsense, your master doesn't know anything, and you don't know anything either?" However, Xiao Ruyue berated her while frowning and feeling extremely displeased, "She kneels whenever she wants, it's said that men have gold under their knees, and women have gold under their daughters' knees as well. Yin Lin, help Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang up. "

Yin Lin replied, then went forward, and without caring about what Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang felt, she pulled him up. Of course, if Yin Lin could control her own strength, she wouldn't be able to hurt Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie too much.

Yin Lin, just send the carriage to Wang Shangshu's residence tomorrow, and tell them that I am the one who is going to invite them into the palace. "

"Yes, this servant understands."

It was a foregone conclusion.

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was dumbstruck. She didn't have the slightest chance of resisting.

"Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang and Mother haven't seen each other for a long time. Tomorrow, you and your mother will get together and talk about what's on your mind. "

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang: "…"

"Alright, let's not talk about the Mrs. Wang today, the snacks that Lu Yi made are something that even the imperial chefs would praise. Wang Lu, eat more, if you like it, I'll get Lu Yi to prepare some for you to eat later."

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie replied woodenly, "Yes." She thanked her a few more times, picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

His heart was filled with worry. Why did the empress want her mother to enter the palace all of a sudden?

Why?

You'll know when the time comes.

Xiao Ruyue couldn't help but smile when she thought about the Mrs. Wang entering the palace tomorrow.

"Oh right, Yin Lin, after Wei Wangfei came to thank us last time, you have not entered the palace anymore, right? Let the Wei Wangfei come into the palace. It's very crowded here. " Xiao Ruyue drank some tea and instructed slowly.

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was secretly shocked.

Xiao Ruyue smiled even more.

Tomorrow

Feng Yuting will come, Yao Ziyan will come, and Mrs. Wang will also have to enter the palace.

All these people had arrived at once. Just thinking about it made her feel full of interest. Her heart was filled with anticipation.

Tomorrow's situation should be interesting.
