"Sometimes this kid really makes me love and hate him at the same time!!"
In Yongshou Palace, Emperor Mingkang looked at the two little girls beside him, his tone still a bit dumbfounded.
Daiyu and Xichun looked at each other and did not dare to answer.
Having been angry with Fan Zhixuan before, Xichun now felt a hint of regret in his heart. Although the royal family might not kill him for Jia Qun's sake, it was not impossible.
If they really raise the butcher's knife, they will be the ones who suffer the consequences, and Brother Qi is not the only one who suffers the consequences. Those things are just like what Yue Xi said, and that's not what Qi Qu is called.
"But that brat has good taste. Lin Aiqing's daughter is even better than Lian's princess!!"
When Daiyu heard this, she quickly stood up and said, "Don't dare!"
Emperor Mingkang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm not that stingy. I won't tolerate other people's daughters being better than my own princess!!"
When Yuexi heard what Emperor Mingkang said, she pulled his sleeves and said coquettishly, "Father~~"
Seeing Yue Xi's appearance, Emperor Mingkang shook his head helplessly, "There are still people here!! How can you be so decent that you are not afraid of people laughing at you!!"
Although these words were a bit serious, Daiyu and Xichun still heard a hint of Emperor Mingkang's fascination from his words. Obviously, he was very satisfied with Yue Xi.
"About Jia Qi's reward~~"
After a while, Emperor Mingkang brought up this most sensitive topic for the two women. After hearing this, Daiyu and Xichun lowered their heads again.
In fact, after they came to the palace, they had no control over this matter.
"Jia Qi captured the remnants of the Zhen family in Guangling River. The leader was a young man named Zhen Tu. He also seized some thunder bullets!! It seems that these people are still determined to be evil!"
After the two women heard this, a hint of joy suddenly flashed in their eyes. It had been almost two days, and they still had not heard any news about Jia Qi, which also made the two women feel anxious. Get down.
Of course, Xichun felt this way more, Daiyu less. After all, Daiyu had just changed her mind from the beginning, and a vague favorable impression had just arisen in her heart. She only felt that Jia Qi did not seem to be a bad person, but Be a good person.
"With this battle, it can be said that Jia Qi's mission to the south has almost been completed. The other leader is Guan Shan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect. However, I believe that this clown is just an ant from the Queen of Autumn, and he can't fight much!! "
Speaking of this, Emperor Mingkang's eyes were full of confidence. Perhaps since he met Jia Qi, Jia Qi gave him the feeling that he could do anything, whether it was to defend against enemies outside the capital, to find cold-resistant crops, or to do anything. Even in the verbal exchanges with the civil servants in the court, they never seemed to be at a disadvantage.
After a short pause, Emperor Mingkang spoke again: "The queen has actually explained the general situation to you. I heard that Xichun, you little girl, don't plan to receive the reward?"
When everyone in the room heard this, their expressions tightened. What did Emperor Mingkang mean by this? ? Are you planning to settle the scores in the future? ?
Concubine Shu sat aside, holding a handkerchief in her hand, not saying much, still as gentle as water.
In fact, after Emperor Mingkang told this matter, he no longer planned to find this little girl to blame. At the moment, he just wanted to let this little girl know why he did this?
As expected, Emperor Mingkang continued: "If you, a little girl, had not had a close relationship with Jia Qi, I would not want to tell you these things. Even though your brother Qi never leaves the house on weekdays, he has no contact with the court. People come and go, but I can’t even guess how powerful they are secretly!!”
"But now it has reached the limit of what Lian can tolerate. It is said that the emperors of the past dynasties have done things that are mean and unkind, such as killing cunning rabbits, cooking lackeys, and killing birds. But in other words, It is said that those ministers have no vision and are already in that situation. They don’t know how to advance or retreat. They have to force the emperor to raise the butcher’s knife and finally let the knife fall and kill him!”
"But the champion is different. He knows how to advance and retreat, and he keeps a proper balance.
He has made great contributions to the court, and I don’t want to end up in that situation with him. Such a scene of discord between the monarch and his ministers is not only something you don’t want to see, but I don’t want to see it either! ! "
"Jia Qi is capable and knows the general situation. I am very optimistic about him. However, no one can guarantee such a thing. We can only take it one step at a time! This is my sincerity!"
"Which emperor wouldn't want to have such a good general under his command?"
"This is the helplessness of the king~~"
For some reason, Emperor Mingkang today spoke more and more deeply. Perhaps it was because the two girls in front of him had the deepest relationship with Jia Qi. In his opinion, they were also the ones who could nominally influence Jia Qi's decision!
"Originally, I planned to betroth Yuexi to a brat like him~~"
Suddenly, Emperor Mingkang broke another shocking news, which made the pretty face of Yue Xi turn red. She no longer dared to stay by Emperor Mingkang's side, but ran to Concubine Shu, burying her little face in his mother's concubine. in his arms.
Seeing the surprised expressions of the two women, Emperor Mingkang continued without concealment: "Why, don't you believe it?"
"Then you may have underestimated our Champion. His title was originally conferred by me against all objections and by myself!! This title of Champion has not been given to many people since ancient times! And he now lives up to me. expectations, making this title well-deserved!”
"If that bastard Jia Qi hadn't expressed his desire to go on a blind date in the capital, otherwise I can guarantee that even the street in front of the Marquis' Mansion would have been blocked by carriages coming for a blind date!"
"His boy is now more popular than some of my princes!!"
"But what happened in the end was that he secretly arranged a marriage for himself!! This was something I never expected!!"
After saying this, Emperor Mingkang looked at Daiyu again.
"Actually, if he could become my consort, I wouldn't have these thoughts now. I want to use it but don't dare to use it. Just like now, it was clearly his contribution, but in the end it fell on you!! "
But it's impossible now. Lin Ruhai is a true confidant. I can't forcefully destroy this golden relationship! There is a saying that goes well, I would rather demolish a temple than ruin a marriage. I cannot be such a wicked person! ! "
"And Lian also heard from the outside world that Lin Yatou has a very good relationship with that bastard. I can't bear it even more!"
"If you say that, you two little girls have to take responsibility for your own affairs!!"
As soon as these words came out, Daiyu's face turned red. Xichun didn't know what he thought of, and his cheeks also turned slightly red.
Emperor Mingkang picked up the tea cup at hand, took two sips and then said again: "Don't worry about Jia Qi coming back. You are being rewarded now. In fact, you are helping him here. If I really don't reward him by then, Feng There is no seal, I don’t need to tell you the result, you can probably guess it!!”
After hearing Emperor Mingkang's words, Daiyu and Xichun fell silent. They may not have guessed why Emperor Mingkang said this to them, but they understood the meaning of Emperor Mingkang's words.
"Now you may understand my painstaking efforts??"
Xichun and Daiyu nodded with complicated eyes.
Emperor Mingkang saw that the two girls had listened, so he smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. You should have heard it. Most of these words are from my heart. The purpose of saying these is also to hope that Jia Xi When you come back, you can talk to him in front of him!"
"I still cherish this friendship between monarch and minister very much, and I hope he will not disappoint my expectations in the future!"
"Concubine Shu!! I asked Dai Quan to bring the imperial edict from Kunning Palace. Please read it out!!"
Finally, Emperor Mingkang sighed softly, casually gestured with his right hand, and then said to Concubine Shu beside him.
Concubine Shu smiled and nodded.
"By God's blessing,... Jia Xichun is granted the title of County Lord!! Granted the title of Liyang!!"
"By God's blessing,...Lin Daiyu is granted the title of Princess Princess!! Granted the title of Anyang!!"
Soon Concubine Shu will study
After finishing the Yizhi in their hands, Xichun and Daiyu's expressions were not as happy as expected, but instead very dull. They already knew the specific reason for this reward, and they heard such important information from Emperor Mingkang. They were so shocked. There is no complete recovery for even a moment.
Only then did the two of them realize that there were actually so many twists and turns in the court.
There was much more than they knew. It was even said that Daiyu, who had not yet recovered her memory, was still a little hard to accept what Emperor Mingkang said.
Folk girl Lin Daiyu and folk girl Jia Xichun thank the Emperor for his grace! !
Emperor Mingkang raised his hand.
"Okay, let's get down!"
Then she looked at the two women who were still in shock and had not come back to their senses and said softly: "I won't say any more. I guess you haven't digested this yet, so you can go down first!!"
Dai Quan, who was standing aside, stood up and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi has asked Liyang County Princess and Anyang County Princess to speak!!"
Emperor Mingkang nodded slightly when he heard this.
"That's alright!! You two should go to Feng Zao Palace first!!"
Xichun and Daiyu then gave another Wanfu, and then left Yongshou Palace in a daze.
On the other side, Concubine Shu, who was sitting on a chair, looked at the two girls leaving and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you think these two girls will talk to the champion when they see him?"
Emperor Mingkang chuckled, "Even if you don't say anything, wouldn't that bastard Jia Qi know how to investigate on his own?"
After hearing Emperor Mingkang's words, Concubine Shu was a little surprised. The only people who knew what Emperor Mingkang was talking about were the servants of Yongshou Palace. No matter how powerful Jia Qi was, he couldn't reach here, right? ?
On the other hand, Yue Xi glanced at her father with a strange look. At the same time, she looked at Dai Quan who was standing aside, with a hint of speculation flashing in her eyes.
"Dai Quan, you will follow my words soon..."
