"Aiqing doesn't have to be modest, what you did in the Southern Capital this time is known to the entire court, let's talk about it, what reward do you want?"

Xiao Shuyue was stunned, and then said with a smile: "The emperor really doesn't have to be like this, as a courtier, he should solve problems for the emperor, eat the king's fortune, and bear the king's worries, this is the duty of a courtier." ”

To be honest, Xiao Shuyue really doesn't care about the emperor's rewards for himself or the like, in terms of identity, although his official position is only from the fourth grade, but his current status is even if those first-class officials are polite to themselves when they talk to themselves, and in terms of gold, silver and jewelry, Xiao Shuyue earns the equivalent of half a year's income from the national treasury, Ping An Qianzhuang has infiltrated his own power to all corners, Xiao Shuyue will also continue to expand the Jinxiufang and the heavens and the earth, and even not only in the Jingguo heaven and earth, but also in the surrounding countries。

And when it comes to power, if Xiao Shuyue is not now dedicated to the emperor, with the power of the secret door, she can disrupt the situation in the entire world.

So Xiao Shuyue really doesn't need the emperor to give him any rewards, in fact, the emperor probably knows that Xiao Shuyue actually doesn't lack any money or anything like that, but this time Xiao Shuyue has made such a great achievement, if she doesn't say anything, it will hurt the hearts of the subjects of the world.

It's just that Xiao Shuyue's exploits this time are not big, but not small, because the other party is just a few thousand bandits, but it is too difficult to annihilate this group of bandits with hundreds of people without losing a single soldier, so the emperor also had a little headache for Xiao Shuyue's reward for a while.

This reward is big, and I obviously feel that it is unfair to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, this reward is small, and I am afraid that there will be any hardcore fans of Xiao Shuyue or something.

All of a sudden, the emperor himself was in trouble.

After thinking about it, he looked at Xiao Shuyue's loyal eyes, and then smiled slowly: "In this way, I will promote your rank to one rank, and you will be a fourth-grade official, all of whom are in charge of Ningyang City, and the surrounding counties are also under your responsibility!"

After listening to the emperor's words, Xiao Shuyue respectfully arched her hand and said, "Thank you Emperor Longen." ”

At this time, looking at Xiao Ruilin kneeling on the side, the emperor said with a smile: "This time, Marquis Xiao also performed very well, and rewarded 100 taels of gold and 10 pieces of cloth." ”

Hearing the emperor's reward, Xiao Ruilin also knelt down respectfully on the side and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!"

The emperor nodded, although the emperor is also a reward for himself, but compared with Xiao Shuyue, the difference is not a star and a half, this Xiao Shuyue's reward is directly aimed at merit, if there is no huge merit on weekdays, how can it be said that it will be promoted, but this Xiao Shuyue is to annihilate the bandits, and directly give the official position a promotion, you must know that Xiao Shuyue has been an official from the fourth grade from the beginning, this beginning has been a special exception, if the emperor had publicized this matter from the beginning, Xiao Shuyue would definitely not be the city lord for so long, but the emperor and Xiao Shuyue tacitly agreed, and wait until the results are made to speak out.

The possibility of this being airborne from the fourth grade itself is very rare, and the high-level ones that have always been airborne are only from the fifth grade, but Xiao Shuyue is directly from the fourth grade, and now in less than a few years, it has actually been upgraded to another level, if you don't see it with your own eyes, how can people believe it?

Regarding the rise in rank, to be honest, Xiao Shuyue doesn't have much feeling, Xiao Shuyue doesn't think much about being promoted and making a fortune, she just wants to be in this world, don't come in vain, at least don't leave regrets for yourself.

In her last life, she died inexplicably, and in this life she hopes that someone can remember her, and she hopes to be able to change some rules.

So she's been working on it.

"That's right, Aiqing, a few days ago, I talked about you, you went out for a trip, always chattering around me, if you have time, go and see him!

The emperor said kindly, Xiao Shuyue naturally knew that the emperor was deliberately putting himself and Xuanyuan together, but helplessly, Xiao Shuyue was really a little unclear in her heart, and nodded, with no joy or anger on her face.

Bidding farewell to the emperor, he went out of the palace with his father, and as soon as he came out, he met the eldest prince and the second prince.

The moment the second prince saw Xiao Shuyue, his eyes were a little surprised, Xiao Shuyue walked over and saluted: "The eldest prince, the second prince!"

And Xiao Ruilin also bowed beside him.

The two princes also returned the salute: "Marquis Xiao, Lord Xiao!"

"I heard that Lord Xiao has completely defeated those bandits in the southern capital this time, and your heroic deeds have been spread throughout the entire capital, and you really don't let you shave your eyebrows!" The eldest prince looked at Xiao Shuyue and smiled, his face looked quite open-minded.

It's just that...... It would be nice if the calculation in his eyes was not so obvious, but unfortunately, he obviously didn't realize this, and looked at Xiao Shuyue's eyes with a little calculation and pride.

"The eldest prince has won the award, but it is just a false praise from the people! How can Yue'er be able to afford such an evaluation!" Xiao Shuyue smiled lightly, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, just a shallow smile, with a slight smile on her face.

"Lord Xiao doesn't have to be too humble, I'm afraid it's your heroic deeds that are the most talked about in the entire capital now, by the way, tomorrow the emperor's brother plans to hold a gathering in his mansion, I wonder if Lord Xiao is interested in participating?"

When he spoke, he still clicked on the second prince without a trace, and at this time the second prince reacted, looking at Xiao Shuyue's eyes with a slight bright smile in his eyes: "I don't know if Lord Xiao is willing to appreciate the light?"

Xiao Shuyue glanced at the second prince, Xiao Shuyue could obviously feel the look in his eyes looking at him, but he didn't refuse, but said with a smile: "Since the second prince is invited, how dare Yue'er disobey, but ...... During this time, I have a friend who may not be in a very good mood, and the second prince doesn't mind...... I'll bring a friend!"

"Lord Xiao's friend, presumably also a heroine, a special woman like Lord Xiao, how can we stop it? What's more, tomorrow some of the daughters of the family will also be present, and Lord Xiao doesn't have to feel embarrassed at that time, and be with a group of our big men!" The second prince said that he felt like he was very funny, Xiao Shuyue smiled very face-savingly, but in his heart, he didn't think so, just had a little calculation, and said lightly: "Since that's the case...... Yue'er thanked the two princes!"
