Seeing Xia Jiuyuan's change of expression, Shuyang felt a thump in his heart and looked at Lu Qian nervously, "Xiao Qianzi, will it be the same as last time?"
Lu Qian smiled at her and said softly, "Princess, don't worry."
"This time, thanks to Concubine Hua and Ning Ping, they found Mr. Liu Shiqing in the crisis and saved Daxia from disaster. This time they should take the lead."
As soon as Xia Jiuyuan's words came out, there was an uproar in the venue.
Xia Jiuyuan didn't care about everyone's confusion and asked Eunuch Gao to announce the reward directly.
"The noble concubine will be rewarded with thousands of taels of gold. Princess Ningping will be granted the title of Princess Zhaoping, and she will be given the fiefdom of Ningping and thousands of households in Zhaoping. Liu Shiqing, a noble family from Hedong, will be given direct access to the cabinet."
There was an uproar in the hall again.
This time, it was not just Shuyang who looked ugly, but the faces of Queen Xiaojing and the others became even more ugly.
You know, Xia Jiuyuan has many children.
But none of them were sealed.
If we were to rank based on seniority, Princess Ning Binh’s turn would not be hers.
Now that Princess Ning Binh has been granted the title, it is a slap in the face to many people.
There was an uproar in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but whisper.
An energetic old man with white eyebrows came out of the hall and asked sharply: "I wonder how your Majesty plans to reward Eunuch Lu and Liyang Palace?"
The person speaking was none other than the current chief minister of the cabinet, Li Xiaozheng!
He is also the father of Queen Xiaojing.
"Li Shoufu, don't you know what they did in Liyang Palace during the internal examination? Now that the merits and demerits are equal, I won't pursue them, so it's a great gift!" Xia Jiuyuan said to Li Xiaozheng politely. .
"Your Majesty, I think this move is inappropriate! There are many doubts about the internal examination, and there is also a lot of criticism in the court. I also asked the Minister of Punishment to investigate, and it is completely a frame-up by Guan Shanmo. Therefore, Liyang Palace not only has no Yes, you still have merit!"
As soon as Li Xiaozheng finished speaking, a big man with a height of about 1.8 meters and a full beard appeared next to him.
"Your Majesty, this is Guan Shanmo's book of guilt." Dian Guangming, the Minister of Punishment, said and asked the eunuch to present the book of guilt.
It is written clearly above.
"Your Majesty, please take a closer look! Take back the order! Redistribute the rewards and don't let the scribes in the world feel cold." Li Xiaozheng knelt down and shouted.
More than half of the people in the hall knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
Xia Jiuyuan originally wanted to lay some unfounded charges on the people of Liyang Palace and put them to death after sealing the rewards.
But he never expected that Li Xiaozheng would stand up for the people of Liyang Palace.
After a moment of silence, although he was reluctant, he still said, "Since Li Shoufu and Dian Shangshu have found out, let Concubine Li move back to Liyang Palace. Enjoy a golden eagle, a national treasure of Beiliang Kingdom, in Liyang Palace."
"In addition, Jingyang Palace also played a very important role in this poetry meeting. I will be rewarded with ten thousand gold. As for the title of Ningping, I will discuss it in the future."
"As for Eunuch Lu, he will be given the title of eunuch of the palace supervisor!"
Xia Jiuyuan said with an ugly expression.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Li Xiaozheng and his group shouted again.
Xia Jiuyuan stood up with an unhappy expression and said, "I'm tired, so there's no need to hold a celebration party today."
After saying that, he walked away.
The people in the main hall did not stay and dispersed.
Lu Qian's mood was not good, although it was expected.
But the emperor would reward him and agree to release Concubine Li, which was unexpected.
Although he doesn’t know what the Shrine Supervisor does?
But he must have moved away from Liyang Palace, which meant that he would be separated from Concubine Li.
Princess Shuyang walked to Lu Qian's side in shock and said, "Xiao Qianzi, how did you ask Li Shoufu to stand up for us?"
Hearing Shuyang's voice, Lu Qian came back to his senses, pointed to Liu Shiqing outside the hall and said, "How can I do this? It's because Liu Shiqing's family has a favor to Li Shoufu's family. That's why they are willing to help."
After the competition ended yesterday, Lu Qian felt that Xia Jiuyuan's behavior was a bit abnormal, and he must have been holding something back.
Thinking about Xia Jiuyuan's actions last time.
Lu Qian knew that if he wanted to protect himself, he had to find a strong backer.
He had talked with Concubine Li. In this harem, only Queen Xiaojing's background and strength could compete with Concubine Hua.
So, I wrote a letter to ask Queen Xiaojing for help.
In the letter, Lu Qian explained his powerful relationship and expressed his willingness to be used by Queen Xiaojing.
Unexpectedly, when Queen Xiaojing found out about Liu Shiqing's intention, she said that her family had a deep connection with the Liu family, and she agreed without even reading the letter.
Princess Shuyang did not go into details and just asked Lu Qian to quickly bring Concubine Li back to Liyang Palace.
After Lu Qian walked out, he walked up to Li Xiaozheng and thanked him.
Li Xiaozheng glanced at Lu Qian and said, "You are so polite, Eunuch Lu. You are a hero of our Great Xia, both public and private. If we don't save you and let you become a victim of the harem struggle, then you will be a disaster for our Great Xia literary world." The loss will even chill the hearts of thousands of literati and students all over the world."
"I will keep Li Shoufu's kindness in mind. If you need any help, as long as I can help, you can ask Liu Shiqing to come to me." Lu Qian replied with a smile.
Li Xiaozheng, an old fox, just smiled and agreed without saying much. It was obvious that he was still wary of Lu Qian.
After returning to Jingxinyuan.
Then he saw Shu Bin's personal maid, Xiao Min, waiting in the snow with an umbrella.
The reason why Lu Qian was very impressed by her was her devilish figure.
As he walked forward, his eyes couldn't stop looking in front of her, "Sister Xiao Min, are you waiting for me?"
After observing it up close, Lu Qian secretly sighed and said, at least it has a G.
Xiao Min was stared at by Lu Qian, her face turned red and she said, "You...what are you looking at?"
"The garden is full of spring scenery and I can't stop it!" Lu Qian walked to her side with a smile and teased.
That look became more and more unscrupulous.
Xiao Min came back to her senses, her face became even redder and she said, "Empress Shu Bin asked me to wait for you here. She said she was waiting for you to come back, so please come over."
"Shu Bin is looking for me?" Lu Qian said in surprise.
Xiao Min blushed and nodded, asking Lu Qian to follow.
Lu Qian was curious that the iceberg beauty would take the initiative to look for him.
After arriving at the door, Xiao Min stood at the door and whispered: "Ms. Shu Bin, Eunuch Lu is here."
"Invite her in." A cold voice came from inside the room.
As soon as he opened the door, there was a rush of heat in the room.
It seems that they have already used the heating stove that Lu Qian modified for them.
In the room, Concubine Shu was half-lying on the chaise longue when she saw Lu Qian come in.
Shu Bin got up slowly.
A different kind of plain cloth and linen clothes.
Today, Shu Bin is a little unusual. She is wearing a slim-fitting white long gauze skirt, showing off her slim figure.
That face was also lightly painted with powder, making it even more beautiful and charming.
Looking at Shu Bin, it was obvious that she had dressed up carefully. As the saying goes, a woman should have an appearance that pleases her.
After Shu Bin stepped forward, she smiled at Lu Qian.
Lu Qian felt his heart skip a beat!
The iceberg beauty actually smiled!
Could it be that this ice beauty has taken a liking to him?
