Early the next morning, the emperor and his entourage returned to Beijing.

Why is it so early? Everyone didn't dare to ask, but Jin Xida shook his head secretly in amusement, only he knew what this "old friend" of the Son of Heaven who grew up together was thinking, nothing more than wanting to watch the play again. However, according to the report of the Netherworld spies who stayed in the city, the city was indeed quite lively last night, and many people came in and out of the Great Prince's Mansion one night.

Halfway through, two carriages and two horses retreated, and it was the Shuyao sisters and brothers who took Xiao Liang and Huohuo back to the Lianghou Mansion first. Those who were also in a hurry to return home saw the right as if they didn't see it. If you don't come with jealousy, the two marquis mansions have made a great contribution!

Of course, Jin Xida returned to the emperor in advance about this matter, and the emperor naturally agreed, yesterday, the father, son, brother and sister did not return to the house, and the old lady and the pregnant Nangong Miao were left in the house, which really worried them. Moreover, it would be better for Shu Yao's girl to go back to the house to receive the order.

The Shuyao sisters and brothers returned to the house, washed and changed their clothes, and then returned to Mrs. Jin's courtyard, eating the peace and longevity noodles made by Mrs. Jin, while talking about the details of the time.

Eating Ping'an longevity noodles is a custom in Mrs. Jin's hometown, and the noodles are slender and long, symbolizing longevity. Generally, on birthdays, preparing to go far away, frightened, etc., they will use soup to soak Ping'an longevity noodles to eat, which means peace and shock.

Hearing that Shu Yao was confronting the assassin head-on, Mrs. Jin was afraid for a while, and hurriedly ordered someone to make a peace and longevity noodles. Shuwen and Shuyao are twins, and they went out together yesterday, so they naturally ate together.

Listening to the dangerous descriptions of the book, the old lady kept chanting "Amitabha", and the Buddha beads in her hand turned quickly. Nangong Miao also tightened the handkerchief in her hand. I almost forgot to breathe.

Use up the peace and longevity noodles. The old lady urged Shu Yao to go back to Mingyue Garden to have a good rest. Catch up on sleep. Such a terrible scene, she couldn't help but tremble when she thought about it, isn't a little girl in Shu Yao frightened? And looking at the child's face, I knew that she didn't sleep well last night.

Shu Yao was indeed a little tired, and was about to get up, but saw the chief butler rushing in: "Holy decree, girl, go to the front to receive the holy decree." ”

Shu Yao and the others were taken aback. The emperor has just returned to the palace not long ago, right? What holy decree? Besides, Jin Xida and Shujie should be in the palace, why don't you take the order directly in the palace and send it to the mansion?

The chief butler was stunned when he saw that several masters were stunned, and hurriedly explained: "It's a holy decree for the girl." Girl, hurry up, go to the front to receive the order. ”

Nangong Miao was the first to come back to her senses, Shu Yao saved the emperor, and it should be rewarded from the palace.

The four of them changed into formal clothes and rushed to the front yard, only to find that it was Dafuzi's father-in-law who came to deliver the decree in person, and there was a row of palace maids standing next to each side. A row of eunuchs, not holding a tray covered with red brocade. It's just holding the big red cage next to him. This formation...... It's too big, right?

Da Fuzi smiled mysteriously: "Congratulations to the old lady and Mrs. Hou, the Xia family Shuyao of the Yongping Marquis Mansion accepted the order." Shu Yao hurriedly knelt down with Old Madam Jin and Nangong Miao.

……

After Dafuzi's father-in-law finished singing the holy decree, Shu Yao hadn't come back to his senses. Princess? The emperor personally named her the lord of Qi? Or is it a county lord with a title, a fief, and a fortune? The lifts and plates were all rewards given to her by the emperor.

Nangong Miao saw that Shu Yao was stunned, and hurriedly pulled her lightly and made a look.

Shu Yao woke up, and hurriedly raised his hands above his head to receive the holy decree: "Qi Lingzhi, thank the emperor for his grace, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Dafuzi's father-in-law looked happy: "The old slave congratulates the county lord of Qi." There are many things in the palace today, and the old slave will return to the palace first, and then congratulate the lord of Qi County another day. ”

Shu Yao hurriedly said: "Thank you Father-in-law Fu, Father-in-law Fu walks slowly." "Mother Liu stuffed a red purse over, and Father-in-law Fu was not polite, this is a great joy, but it is not beautiful.

Dafuzi's father-in-law left with the palace people, and Shu Yao was still stunned on the spot, it was incredible!

Uncle Kui knelt on the ground with all his subordinates: "The slave (slave maid) has seen the county lord of Qi, congratulations to the county lord of Qi, congratulations to the county lord of Qi, and the county lord of Qi Wanfu Jin'an." "There are now two marquis masters in the two marquis mansions, a civil and military champion, and now there is a county lord, what a glory? These subordinates are also following the scenery!

Mrs. Jin smiled: "You also congratulate yourself, this is the beginning of spring and there is another reward." ”

Everyone laughed, didn't they? When the lord and uncle come back in the evening, maybe they will be rewarded with another month's worth of silver. In a blessed nest like the Lianghou Mansion, they don't need (and don't dare) dig out their minds and intrigue for a little profit. The monthly money is high, the food and clothing are warm and comfortable, there are rewards, there are dividends, and from time to time there is a "reward for a month of silver", where can I find such a blessed land?

Mother Liu smiled from ear to ear, those ladies and girls who secretly ridiculed her sister and "left home halfway" didn't know how Lu Dao would feel when they heard the news? There are not many county lords with titles in the Great Zhou, and "Qi" Zi is the same as the word "Yue", representing the rare divine pearl and jade, which is a symbol of royal noble status.

In order to reward those meritorious ministers, the royal family often rewarded their daughters as county lords, county lords, and the like. Or, in order to marry politically with the state and the Fan clan, the official girl of the right age will also be named the county lord or even the princess.

But these are just names, and they generally have no titles or fiefs, and people usually call them by the last word of their names, such as Sima Yan, the lord of Yanjun.

Sima Yan had also received the news brought back by An Guogong at this time, knowing that Xia Shuyao knew martial arts, and saved the emperor at the last moment.

Sima Yan was stunned, Xia Shuyao actually knew martial arts? Can you still save the emperor? Save the emperor, what is that concept? What a great achievement! Her status as the county lord and the queen mother's favor for her are largely due to her father and brother saving Prince Qi. And now, Xia Shuyao saved the emperor?

An Guogong sighed deeply: "Actually, it's not surprising, the girls in the general's family are familiar with it, and most of them know some kung fu." Xia Linxuan's skills, both sons practice martial arts, and it is normal for his daughter to learn some self-defense skills. It's just that I didn't expect that the Xia family girl's skills would be so good, a little girl who is not yet 14 years old!

Duchess Anguo's eyes widened: "Coincidentally, right?" The little girl's family was scared to death when they met the assassins. ”

An Guogong was angry and funny: "In front of everyone's eyes, where do you go by chance?" The emperor said it himself, the girl of the Xia family, ah no, now she is the county lord of Qi, the county lord of Qi saved the emperor, and also saved the county lord Yue together with Lord Yu and the Marquis of Yongping. This is not? As soon as the emperor returned to Beijing, he issued a holy decree and named the girl of the Xia family as the lord of Qi. (To be continued......)
