Chapter 62: The Emperor's Reward
Emperor Xuan nodded approvingly and said: "Su Yichen, you have a clever mind in cooking, I am happy to eat, say, what kind of reward do you want?" ”
Su Yichen still lowered his head, thought for a while, and replied: "The emperor is my sister's husband, and the people's daughter does her best for her sister and brother-in-law, and she doesn't dare to ask for a reward, but since the emperor has spoken, the people's daughter boldly asks the emperor for a reward."

Emperor Xuan laughed and said: "Haha, brother-in-law, you are the first person who dares to call me like this, okay, I should go, you get up and speak, the family doesn't have to be so restrained." ”
Su Yichen stood up according to his words, raised his head and said playfully: "Thank you, brother-in-law!" ”
Emperor Xuan was stunned suddenly, Rao is he has read all the best in the world, and the girl in front of him who has not applied powder still makes him can't help but have a trace of palpitations. She smiled lightly, like jasmine after the spring rain, beautiful and fragrant, even though there are a hundred charms and thousands of reds in the world, but under her smile, it seems to have faded color.
"Brother-in-law." She blinked her bright eyes and looked at him, her eyes were full of expectation: "Chen'er is just this one sister, if the brother-in-law asks Chen'er what reward she wants, Chen'er only wants her sister to be happy, so the brother-in-law should often visit her sister and the baby in her belly, and promise not to let her be hurt in any way." ”
Emperor Xuan took Ru Concubine's hand and smiled at her: "Your sister is my woman, and she is pregnant with my flesh and blood, you can rest assured that I will never allow anyone to hurt her and the child!" This reward is not counted, if you think about it, the opportunity will not be missed. ”
Ru Concubine's heart was beating so fast, she almost wanted to blurt out, Your Majesty, you let go of the concubine's brother, but she didn't dare, she looked at Su Yichen earnestly, and saw her lips slightly open, but the request she spit out was: "Then brother-in-law will give Chen'er a grace, so that Chen'er can enjoy the palace scenery, and it is convenient to accompany and take care of her sister anytime and anywhere." ”
Emperor Xuan smiled meaningfully and asked, "Does Chen'er like the palace?" ”
Su Yichen frowned slightly, and said with an innocent face: "There are too many rules in the palace, Chen'er has been in the palace for several days, and my sister won't let Chen'er out of Dexi Palace, she said that there are many mothers in the harem, and it will not be good if Chen'er goes out to walk around in case she collides with any mother." ”
Emperor Xuan turned his head sideways and said to Ru Concubine: "Chen'er likes to play, you don't want to restrain her, who you bump into is burdened, don't be afraid!" ”
The second half of the sentence was said to Su Yichen, Su Yichen smiled sweetly: "The emperor's brother-in-law is so good, then Chen'er can go around, look at the flowers and plants in the palace, know many beautiful sisters, in case of trouble, Chen'er will pull you out as a shield." ”
Emperor Xuan laughed: "No problem, if anyone dares to bully you, you show her this." ”
After speaking, Emperor Xuan took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist and handed it to her. Su Yichen took it with both hands, and saw that the jade plate was green all over, with a five-clawed flying dragon engraved on the front, a Thai character engraved on the side, and a bright yellow tassel tied below. Seeing the emperor give this jade plate, the faces of the concubine and the father-in-law changed slightly. Su Yichen didn't seem to be aware of it, and while shaking the tassel like flowing gold, he praised: "This tassel is so beautiful." ”
Emperor Xuan couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "It's really a child's heart, put it away quickly, don't lose it." ”
Su Yichen stuck out his tongue and made a grimace, then put the jade plate in his arms, stepped forward to help Ru Concubine and said: "Sister, sister, you see that the emperor's brother-in-law is really good to Chen'er, wherever my sister wants to go in the future, Chen'er can accompany you." ”
Ru Concubine smiled, but did not speak. Her current situation was not suitable for sleeping, and Emperor Xuan talked to the sisters for a while, and then got up and went to another palace. As soon as Emperor Xuan left, Ru Concubine's face suddenly collapsed, and he coldly ordered Su Yue and Qiu Jing: "You go out first, and the palace will talk to the second lady." ”
Her mood was obviously a little wrong, Su Yichen looked at Ru Concubine casually, this is the Shen Rushuang she is familiar with, once she likes someone, she is so crazy that she loses her mind. Thankfully, she has finally gotten rid of the troubles of the past relationship, and the tragedy is that the person she fell in love with again was destined not to be her lover alone.
Ru Concubine looked at Su Yichen coldly, with jealousy and anger burning in her eyes: "What do you mean?" Did you help me invite the emperor over, just so that he could watch your performance? ”
Su Yichen's eyebrows were calm, as if she was ignoring her emotions: "Niangniang, don't you really understand the purpose of the folk girl doing all this?!" ”
Ru Concubine snorted: "Your purpose? Such a good opportunity, the emperor asked you what reward you wanted, and you didn't even mention a word about your brother! ”
Su Yichen smiled bitterly and asked, "Does Niangniang think this opportunity is better than the opportunity for Niangniang to cherish the dragon seed?" If the emperor hears the request and leaves again, then everything we have done for tonight is equivalent to all the previous efforts have been wasted, and it is very likely that you will not have a third chance to intercede for your brother in front of him in the future, are you still willing to gamble on this uncertain one? ”
Ru Concubine was silent when she heard this, but her face was still full of displeasure. How could Su Yichen not understand her thoughts, she took out the jade plate given to her by Emperor Xuan from her arms, gently put it on the table, and said, "Is my sister angry about this?" ”
This is the first time since she entered the palace that she has resumed her commensurate relationship with Ru Concubine's sister in private, but in this situation, Ru Concubine did not appreciate it, but had a sense of humiliation of being slapped in the face by Su Yichen, so she said even more stiffly: "Joke, it's just a jade card, what is there to be angry about in this palace!" This palace just wants to remind you that you came to the palace to take care of me, not to compete to be the emperor's concubine! ”
Su Yichen's heart was half cold again, and her sister seemed to lose her ability to think as long as she touched the problem of feelings. She sighed slightly: "Does Niangniang know? The folk girl already has someone she likes, and she wants to be with him for the rest of her life. ”
Although it was just an unrealistic dream, she silently repeated it in her heart, but did not say it. But when Concubine Ru heard her say this, she was obviously relieved, and pretended to be relaxed and deliberately asked: "Is it the person who gave you the guqin before?" ”
Su Yichen replied softly, "Yes." ”
"Whose son is he? Have you sent someone to the house to ask for relatives? ”
"Yes, but now is not the time." Su Yichen said expressionlessly.
Ru Concubine finally put her mind at ease, and her tone was much more relaxed: "You don't have to worry, your father loves you so much, and when my brother's matter is resolved, he will definitely let you get married." ”
Su Yichen said lightly: "I hope so." ”
Back in his room, Aman was still pouting angrily, Su Yichen looked at her bulging cheeks, and couldn't help laughing: "Aman, your face is almost fifteen moons." ”
Fifteen moons? She smiled dumbly, lay on the bed, and couldn't sleep for a long time......
