Chapter 406: Returning the Pearl
"What does it mean to do your best, you have to!" Zhen Yunnuo patted her shoulder with his empty hand and said, "It's not easy for the Duchess to find you, and it's not easy for you to know your background, I believe that your future days will get better and better!" ”
"That's right! That's right! And my sister! I will always be with my eldest sister at home! Meng Guanxing directly put his head on Bai Qingshuang's shoulder socket and rubbed it, like a puppy who wanted to please his master.
Bai Qingshuang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hmm! I believe! ”
Although it is clear that she is going to deal with Meng Guanyue now, but if she comes, she will be safe, since fate has arranged her replacement in this way, then she will definitely replace the real Bai Qingshuang and take every step of her life beautifully.
The three of them were talking and laughing, when they suddenly heard a thin voice from the other side of the hall with a long tail note: "The Holy Decree has arrived-"
"Ahh Go out and receive the holy decree, it must have something to do with you! Zhen Yunnuo immediately urged.
Sure enough, they walked to the door with the beaded curtain hanging down, and a maid opened the curtain and came in and said, "Miss, please go out and receive the order!" ”
"Oh!" The corners of Bai Qingshuang's mouth twitched.
Before, Grandpa Guo, alas, had to call his father, so he came back with a holy decree, why did he come again at this time? The emperor and his old man are really full and have nothing to do, and he always likes to make holy decrees to watch people kneel and worship.
Alas! That's the fun for the king!
hurriedly walked out, and at this time, the old lady had already led everyone to kneel on the ground, and saw Bai Qingshuang come out. The old lady immediately beckoned her to kneel beside her.
Bai Qingshuang was stunned for a moment, and saw that there was a vacant seat left next to the old lady, and she dared to leave it to her, and then looked back at Zhen Yunnuo and Meng Guanxing, they were probably used to welcoming the holy decree for a long time, and they had already found a place to kneel down obediently.
Walking over, Bai Qingshuang immediately bowed his head and knelt down.
Only then did Zhou Hai open the holy decree with a smile and read it out: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The eldest daughter of the Duke of the Protector has been living abroad for 14 years, living a hard life and tasting all the hardships. Now I have to return to my parents. Around my loved ones, I can't help but sigh! The special reward is 100 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and a pair of bloodstones. A pair of East Pearl in the South China Sea. Coral hand, Lantian white jade...... Ten pieces of silk and satin. Chin this! ”
Such a generous reward, not to mention that Bai Qingshuang was shocked, even the old lady did not expect it. The rest of the ladies were even more envious, and couldn't help but look up slightly at the back of the girl who was kneeling parallel to the old lady, with mixed feelings in their hearts, and they had any ideas.
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" When the old lady saw that Zhou Hai had finished reading the holy decree, she took the lead in chanting, and Bai Qingshuang shouted long live with everyone.
Then, at the signal of the old lady, she raised her hand to receive the holy decree handed over by Zhou Hai.
The rewards read on the decree are all for her, and this decree is naturally received by her.
Just when everyone thought that this was the end of the matter and was about to get up, Zhou Hai said again: "There is another will!" ”
After speaking, he really took another bright yellow scroll from the apprentice behind him.
At this time, everyone's hearts were tumbling again.
Doesn't the emperor really like this rustic girl who is outcast, give a sweet date first, and then slap him in the face?
Because, if they are all rewards, only one holy decree can be solved, is the emperor okay to draw up two decrees when he is full?
Especially some female relatives in the Guogong Mansion, the expectations in their hearts are very strong, and they are waiting to hear the news they want to hear with their ears pricked up.
Even the old lady had no bottom in her heart, and she couldn't help but quietly look up at Zhou Hai, full of uncertainty.
Although Liu Ruyan has been in the Guogong Mansion for more than ten years, and the number of times she has listened to and read the holy decree is not small, she didn't care about these things before after all, so she didn't care about the matter of having another will.
Bai Qingshuang was calm, she thought that she hadn't done anything to be ashamed of the emperor, with a clear conscience, she didn't care how many holy decrees he had, if it was given to her, she would have taken it.
After Zhou Hai opened the second holy decree at this time, he read it out loud with a sharp voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Meng Qingshuang, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Protectorate, has made meritorious contributions to the development of the clairvoyant mirror, and she is specially given the title of Lord of Zhu County!" Enjoy the court! ”
Lord Huanzhu! Do you still enjoy the court?
Everyone almost jumped in shock, and the only thing that appeared in their ears was this title.
Feng Yuyao almost cut a hole in the floor, if she hadn't lowered her head, the hatred that erupted in her eyes would definitely make the people around her take a few steps back in fright.
Meng Guanyue was also so shocked that she almost forgot to breathe.
How so? How can this be?
In the previous life, although Bai Qingshuang was found safe and sound and brought back to the Guogong Mansion, except for the banquet of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, the emperor symbolically rewarded some gold, silver and silk satin, and the rest had nothing.
Why? Why did he not only make such a big splash this time, but also deliberately gave her the title of county lord?
Since then, she has not only pressed herself in terms of age, but also in terms of identity, and has stepped on her very low!
Why is that? What went wrong?
The old lady and Liu Ruyan were flattered, and kowtowed again and again to thank her, so that they didn't notice that Bai Qingshuang was still in a daze for a while.
Different from what others pay attention to, Bai Qingshuang doesn't care about the title of the county lord, but the three words of the clairvoyant mirror, which is clearly telling her that her county lord title was asked for by Xu Jingxuan for him.
As for why he wants such icing on the cake, Bai Qingshuang thought that she should know it in her heart, so at this time, she was not happy, but blushed shyly.
Secretly slandered: Stinky boy, is this because she is not messy enough today or what, wouldn't it be impossible for her to get out of it safely tonight!
What Bai Qingshuang didn't know at this time was that on the male side, the emperor Xu Ruixiang, who was personally there, gave her adoptive father Bai Zhihong a big face, and directly praised Bai Zhihong's morality, and announced in public that the Huizhi Academy, which was originally temporarily replaced by the Confucian Zhao family, was reorganized into the main courtyard of Wutong Academy, and Bai Zhihong was the head of the academy, so angry that Zhao Daru fainted on the spot.
If Bai Qingshuang knew at this time, he would definitely be able to guess that this was definitely Xu Jingxuan's handiwork, and this kid's skills in secretly black people were getting better and better.
Of course, he did all this for his own purpose, in addition to currying favor with Bai Qingshuang, in order to gradually raise her status to be worthy of himself, then their knot would be twice as effective with half the effort! (To be continued......)
