Chapter 50 Congratulations

Seeing Ye Qinghuai's solemn expression, Li Baoquan understood the importance of the matter. He rolled up the three imperial edicts on the case and put them away, and replied: "Old slave, I accept the order."

"Don't let others know. Let's do it now and choose a few reliable people." Ye Qinghuai warned.

"Old slave, I understand." Li Baoquan took the imperial edict into his arms and exited the hall.

When he went out, he met Qin Baozhu face to face, saluted her, and hurried out of the palace.

Ye Qinghuai was sitting by the table, thinking about tomorrow's events in her mind, with a frosty face, and the knuckles of her right hand were clasped on the table without realizing it.

Seeing Qin Baozhu come in, the look on her face relaxed. She stood up and smiled at her: "I heard you made soup?"

Qin Baozhu also smiled: "It's still simmering on the pot in the small kitchen. I have to wait for another quarter of an hour."

"It seems that I have a good taste today." Ye Qinghuai said.

Aunt Fanghua picked up the tray with wedding clothes on the table and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Lan."

After saying that, she held the clothes and went inside.

I'm honest with you, the supervisor, but this wedding dress is indeed very difficult to wear.

Ye Qinghuai felt that this might be the most complicated piece of clothing she had worn since the coronation ceremony. Not only was it complicated to wear, but the embroidery work was even more complicated. It was obvious that Shang Yijian had put a lot of care into this piece of clothing.

All his skills were brought to bear, and he was very willing to use materials. His joy contained the dignified majesty of the heavenly family.

"This dress is so beautiful." Qin Baozhu looked at Ye Qinghuai who had finished dressing and said with emotion, "I don't know what the queen's dress is like, but I think it looks very good."

"You can just say this in front of me, but you don't dare let people outside listen to it," Ye Qinghuai said.

If anyone were to listen, I'm afraid it would be said that Qin Baozhu coveted the position of queen.

Qin Baozhu immediately pursed his lips and said, "The daughter of the people knows her mistake."

Ye Qinghuai smiled and said: "And this, I have to get used to saying 'concubine'."

She spread her arms and looked down. The clothes were so wide that even though her waist was tied, her breasts could not be seen at all.

"That's it, there's no need to change it. Aunt Fanghua, go out and report to He Weishi and ask him to reward the clothes supervisor with something. Chen Lan, help me take off my clothes."

Aunt Fanghua took the order and went out, leaving only Ye Qinghuai and Qin Baozhu in the room.

It was much easier to take off the clothes than to put them on, and they were removed in a few moments. Qin Baozhu helped Ye Qinghuai put on the regular clothes. When tying her waist, Qin Baozhu said with emotion: "Your Majesty, you are too thin.

Eat more."

Ye Qinghuai smiled bitterly and said: "When I was little, my mother always said that I grew taller just by eating."

"The food in the palace is too light. It is definitely not okay for Your Majesty to eat so sparingly at such a young age. From now on I... I will make you some delicious food and I will make sure to make you fat!"

Hearing her abrupt change of words, Ye Qinghuai couldn't help laughing and said: "I can't gain weight in just one or two meals."

"Then I will cook for His Majesty every day from now on. Tomorrow I will cook braised beef for Your Majesty!"

After saying that, she finally dressed Ye Qinghuai. Her technique was not very skillful, so Ye Qinghuai took care of the collar on her own, while Qin Baozhu folded the red wedding dress on the side.

Over and over again, she suddenly asked Ye Qinghuai a question: "Does your Majesty have a man you like?"

Ye Qinghuai paused and looked at the back of her folding her wedding clothes.

Thinking about it, she got excited after seeing Xifu.

Ye Qinghuai's expression darkened and he said, "Yes."

"Are you a minister of the imperial court?"

"...Sort of."

Ye Qinghuai suddenly remembered Lu Yanchen's appearance when he held his little portrait today. For some reason, when Ye Qinghuai thought about it at this time, he felt that he looked a little lost and lonely, and even a little unbelievably aggrieved.

She felt like she was stung slightly by something.

"Why did Your Majesty say 'yes'? Don't you like it now?"

Ye Qinghuai smiled helplessly. Her question was just like what Lu Yanchen asked her today: "Will Your Majesty be jealous?"

What does she like and what makes her jealous?

Just like what she said to Aunt Fanghua, no matter who she, Ye Qinghuai, makes her queen, she can never make Lu Yanchen her queen.

This kind of liking only adds to worries.

"What's the use of liking?" Ye Qinghuai murmured, "Like is the most useless thing."

Nowadays, she doesn't have the energy to take care of these things. There is chaos in the government and the public, the imperial power is in vain, and where does Ye Qinghuai's thoughts come from?

She smiled and said with relief: "Let's go! Go and drink the soup you stewed."

——

Near midnight, Li Baoquan finally returned.

"Have they all accepted the order?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"Master, I took them all," Li Baoquan replied.

Ye Qinghuai thought for a while and then asked: "Did you have any hesitation when you received the order?"

Li Baoquan recalled it and replied: "Shenwei Guard General Zhao Yinshi seemed a little hesitant, but he quickly accepted the order. The old slave saw that he looked relaxed when he accepted the order, and did not seem to have other plans.

.”

Ye Qinghuai nodded.

The meaning of her imperial edict was very simple, that is, she told several generals that Gu Haiwang had no authority over the Gyeonggi Guard until his case was concluded. Without Ye Qinghuai's edict, the Gyeonggi Garrison and the Jiumen Guards were not allowed to interfere without permission, otherwise

He was immediately charged with rebellion.

Ye Qinghuai came up with this idea because of Gu Haiwang's case. According to Chen Yuansi, when Gu Haiwang went to Jinxiufang, he brought with him the Cavalry Guards from outside the capital. As the chief of the Guards of the capital, he had the authority to mobilize the eight guards of the capital, but he did not bring any deployment.

Instead of the Tianwei Guards and Shenwei Guards in the capital, he brought the Valiant Cavalry Guard far away. It was definitely not because he didn't want to mobilize the two guards in the capital, but because the relationship between the two guards and him was not as close as the Valiant Cavalry Guard.

Therefore, Ye Qinghuai decided to take a gamble. She bet that the relationship between the two guards in the capital and the nine guards in the capital and the Gu family were not good enough to openly disobey the imperial edict for their sake.

She asked Li Baoquan to send them this imperial edict on the eve of the Chengtianmen Incident. First, it was to deter the three armies. If they were to be investigated in the future, it would also make them more famous. On the other hand, she also sent these people a piece of paper.

A useful shield for the Gu family.

The Gyeonggi Guard is the most powerful armed force in the capital. It maintains law and order in the capital on weekdays and is a symbol of the imperial court in the eyes of the people.

If the Gyeonggi Guard appears to suppress the Chengtianmen Incident tomorrow, it will symbolize that the imperial court is determined to stand on the opposite side of the students. At that time, the people will be timid, but at the same time, the imperial court will also lose the support of the people.

If the Gyeonggi Guard was smart, they would not take a trip into this muddy water.

It's just that Gu Shihai will definitely not let them watch from the dry shore. Even if he threatens and induces them, he will definitely find a way to move the Gyeonggi Guard.

But now, they have this imperial edict from Ye Qinghuai in their hands. If they don't want to, they can justifiably refuse the Gu family's request.

Ye Qinghuai believed that they were unwilling to move.

After stabilizing the Gyeonggi Guard, the rest are the Forbidden Army.

After all, the Forbidden Army is a bodyguard directly affiliated with the emperor. Any unauthorized action would be tantamount to treason and would be a serious crime of beheading.

Most of the Imperial Guards are children of aristocratic families, with well-to-do families and good education. Compared with the Gyeonggi Guard, these children of aristocratic families are less willing to risk such a huge injustice in the world.
