Chapter 167: Don't worry about my monkey
The main purpose of the palace banquet is to give a routine reward to the Marquis of Pingshun. After thirty years of drinking, everyone was in a state of semi-drunkenness, especially His Majesty the Emperor of Chu Yan's father-in-law, there was drunkenness on his face, but his eyes were very clear.
"Pingshun Hou has merit this time, I, I want to reward it well."
This is a way to win people's hearts as a superior person. Chu Yan was baffled by Mu Zexi's blocking of wine for her, so much so that Mu Zexi leaned on her slightly, and she didn't let go of him.
Pingshun Hou hurriedly attended, knelt in the middle, and Lang Sheng sang the emperor's praise, oops, my meritorious service is all the emperor's blessing! Don't give it to you, it's all I deserve.
Chu Yan felt funny when she heard it, in fact, at this time, Pingshun Hou's rhetoric was obviously to retreat and advance, wanting more rewards. You say, as an emperor, did you say that you don't want to reward it, and I will save something for the treasury and not give it to you? Of course not.
Therefore, for Pingshun Hou's approach, Chu Yan scoffed.
"What? Under the weather? β
Mu Zexi raised his head sensitively, and looked at Chu Yan a little nervously. He Mu Wangye, he has never been so careful until now, Xie Yao on the other side smiled with a twitch, and his face was red. It's rare for someone to treat Mu Zexi so obediently.
"Mu Zexi, you seem to want me to be uncomfortable?"
It's no wonder that Chu Chang thinks so, Mu Zexi is indeed yes, why don't you think about it, Chu Chang has discovered a new world, or seen a new adultery, and she wants to ask her if she is uncomfortable? Isn't that uncomfortable for yourself?
Therefore, Prince Mu, who has a high IQ and low EQ, turned his head away in confusion and continued to listen to how his father, His Majesty the Emperor, boasted of Pingshun Hou.
After a while, the polite words that the monarch and the minister should have said were finished, and the reward remained.
The emperor was not ambiguous, and directly rewarded a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and named the Marquis of Pingshun as the Marquis of Sanpin, and inherited the title.
Accepting the reward from His Majesty the Emperor, Marquis Pingshun also showed a very modest appearance, and said sincerely: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness." The old minister is old, and he only hopes that his children and grandchildren can serve the country and share the worries of the king, and there is nothing else to ask for. β
Chu Yan was immediately surprised, how thick-skinned is this to be able to say such a thing as nothing else after saying these words? and all the rewards of your offspring!!
Chu Yan's father-in-law smiled wisely and asked, "I remember, the concubine of the Marquis of Pingshun is the side concubine of Xiaoliu?" β
Concubine Dong, who was named and mentioned, naturally wanted to stand up and make an appearance. hurriedly attended, knelt beside his father, and said softly: "Slave and maid to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed with Jin'an." β
Although this move is sincere and fearful, but to be honest, I am afraid that there is no emperor in this world who does not want others to see him insincerely, so that he can prove his rights and status.
His Majesty the Emperor nodded with satisfaction, and said to Concubine Dong: "Get up and sit down." Heard you're pregnant? Speaking of which, Xiao Liu's marriage has been in for so many years, and I am also very worried about his heirs. Sister-in-law, you should work hard!! β
Mu Zexi's back stiffened suddenly, and he consciously blocked Chu Yan's body, and then looked at the ground without changing his face, as if he hadn't heard this sentence.
Joke??? Why is it on yourself again??
Chu Yan pursed her mouth and stayed behind Mu Zexi cooperatively, although the eyes of the surrounding crowd swept towards Chu Yan, but she was blocked by Mu Zexi like this, and she couldn't see it.
Concubine Dong on the field smiled and thanked her, and sat on the seat given by His Majesty the Emperor, stroking her lower abdomen with both hands, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she was pregnant.
"Since your father and brother have been rewarded, what reward do you want?"
In fact, if Concubine Dong is a smart woman, she should be smart at this time and reward her, for example, if you want the country to be eternal, and if you want Your Majesty and Niangniang to be healthy, presumably as soon as the emperor is happy, he will really realize Concubine Dong's little wish hidden in her heart.
However, as mentioned before, Concubine Dong is an ambitious and unwise woman, so she bowed down from afar at this time, and learned her father's tone and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, concubine, I don't want any reward, I just want to stay by the prince's side." β
"That's not possible, your father and brother have settled down Nanxia, and you have added people to the heavenly family, which is naturally considered meritorious. The reward. β
Chu Yan suddenly felt like five thunderbolts, lying in a groan!! Pregnancy also has merit???
Is it merit to sleep together? Avoiding Mu Zexi from becoming a lonely and lonely person, is it considered a merit? ?
Concubine Dong blushed and lowered her head, her shy and weak appearance really made people feel good.
Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor was kind-hearted, and rewarded Concubine Dong with a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and satin cloth.
Chu Yan couldn't help touching her neck, thinking: Concubine Dong's neck has to be affected again. With so much jewelry, how much do you have to wear?
Chu Yan really didn't have bad thoughts such as contempt or ridicule, but she was simply worried, Concubine Dong's small body could afford so much gold, silver and jewelry?
It's just that it's not over yet. I only heard His Majesty the Emperor add: "The Dong family is virtuous and virtuous, and I am very happy, so I am specially named β’β’β’β’β’β’."
Concubine Dong and Pingshun Hou's hearts are hanging, why do you want to seal it? ? Flat wife? The flat wife of the Six Princes' Mansion??
It's just that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. His Majesty the Emperor thought for a moment and said very seriously: "I am specially appointed as the lord of Nanling County." β
The county lord? Six products? Chu Yan didn't know either. Anyway, there is not much difference between being sealed and not being sealed, and there doesn't seem to be much difference between the status of the side concubine.
This kind of reward just sounds good. Looking at the people of the Dong family, one by one it was as if they had eaten flies, and the flies were still rewarded by the emperor, and they didn't vomit, and they couldn't swallow it, so they were really aggrieved.
However, Chu Yan always felt that the eyes of his Empress Dowager and grandmother were always staring at her, and even though she had a Mu Zexi in the middle, she could still be sensitively detected by Chu Chang. So, Chu Yan turned sideways slightly, and looked at the eagerness of the Queen Mother's face, so she hooked her lips and smiled, stood up suddenly, and said, "Father, the courtiers and daughters-in-law think that the courtiers and daughters-in-law should also be rewarded." β
The emperor didn't seem to expect Chu Yan to say this, and he was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Oh? But tell me, 'Why do I want to reward you?' β
Everyone present looked shocked. have speculated, which is the princess singing? Only Mu Zexi, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, looked at Chu Yan's back, and drank on his stomach.
Chu Yan calmly showed a dignified smile, and said seriously: "I heard that my father and the emperor rewarded Sister Dong because my sister was pregnant, yes or no?" β
As soon as he said this, the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress were nailed to Chu Yan's stomach, as if there was something hidden in Chu Yan's stomach.
What the hell is she hiding in her stomach that she doesn't even know!!!
Chu Yan raised her head very innocently, smiled, and said: "Therefore, the daughter-in-law thought that the days when the daughter-in-law was seriously ill provided an opportunity and sufficient time for Sister Dong to serve the prince. So dare to ask my father, can my daughter-in-law be rewarded? β
Can a courtier's wife be rewarded??
Mu Zexi's scalp was numb for a while, it was really rare to be a man who had done Chu Yan's job.
However, Chu Yan's serious appearance is extremely good-looking.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Chu Yan with interest and asked with a smile, "Oh? So, are you really meritorious? β
With such a crooked reason, it is rare that the emperor's father-in-law did not kill Chu Yan with a shoehorn.
Chu Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, the daughter-in-law thinks so." Otherwise, father, you thought that Concubine Dong was pregnant and rewarded Concubine Dong, but you ignored your daughter-in-law, how will the world evaluate your father? The courtiers and daughters-in-law know that their father is good to their courtiers, but the world does not know that if the father and the emperor reward the courtiers, the world will definitely feel that the father is a fair emperor. β
This matter, when it comes to fairness, even Chu Yan herself feels empty-hearted. After all, today's protagonist is the Dong family. She jumped out like this, which is already cheeky, but, think about it from another angle, if you can get some rewards and benefits, what should you be polite about??
When Chu Yan thought about it, she felt that her request was really reasonable!!
Mu Zexi's face remained unchanged, with a casual look, looking at the righteous words that Chu Yan said there, he almost went over to applaud, and a woman and a singer followed.
The faces of the people of the Dong clan are not very good, especially Concubine Dong, who is sitting there, biting her lip with her teeth tightly, eager to bite the blood to pretend to be a vampire. Chu Yan was thinking about whether to send a few sharp teeth to Concubine Dong, when she suddenly heard that her father-in-law seemed to be talking, so she stretched out her ears and pretended to be listening very seriously.
"So, if I don't reward it, I can't say it?"
Although the emperor's words were rhetorical, he did not give Chu Yan a chance to answer, but asked directly: "Then what do you want?" β
Chu Yan wanted a lot of things. It's just that today, you can't ask for anything serious. In other words, we must have a long-term vision and must not be confused by immediate interests.
So Chu Yan thought about it again and again, and then replied: "Father, the daughter-in-law wants the father to preach." The daughter-in-law knew that she was always in trouble, which made her father, queen mother, and queen grandmother angry. But the father, the mother, and the grandmother love their daughters-in-law and never blame their daughters-in-law. But the daughter-in-law is ashamed of it, and I hope that the father, the queen mother, and the queen grandmother will admonish the daughter-in-law more. The so-called, if the family is not peaceful, how can the world be peaceful? The daughter-in-law pulled the hind legs of the six kings, and the daughter-in-law was at fault, and asked the father and the emperor to teach him a lesson. β
Where is the slightest lesson in this? There is no sincerity at all. Although Chu Yan said this, but the corner of her eyes swept away, and the people who were just holding back a smile saw the four β’β’β’β’β’β’β’ Mu Zexi, Mu Yuanqi, Xie Yao, Xiao Xiaoxiao, and the four of them, one with an exaggerated expression than the other, really, isn't her Miss Chu not sincere enough, but this is also a mistake, isn't it? You can't be serious and give face???
It's just that the emperor and queen looked at Chu Yan with a shocked look and praised her vigorously: "It's really sensible." β
Then the emperor's father-in-law was excited, and gave Chu Yan a big reward, which was much more than Concubine Dong's reward. Chu Yan was very embarrassed, she was very polite, father-in-law, you gave too much, too much! provoked a certain four to laugh at again.
After thanking the two in-laws with a thousand thanks, Chu Yan happily sat back in her position, glanced at Mu Zexi proudly, and said, "Don't be jealous, for the sake of Concubine Dong's pregnancy, you are also meritorious, I will give you at most one or two gold, no more." β
Mu Zexi laughed when he heard this, and said, "If you are pregnant, I am afraid of more rewards." β
Pregnantβ’β’β’β’β’β’β’
Chu Yan chuckled in her heart, thinking of the monkey.
"Mu Zexi, until this monkey of yours is not sure that it is a monkey, you should not worry about my monkey."
Chu Yan is actually not a generous person, and she can't be generous. Of course, since Concubine Dong was pregnant, Chu Yan had never mentioned this matter, so much so that Mu Zexi really thought that she didn't care. It's like Chu Yan told Mu Zexi that he was a reborn person, but he never mentioned Mo Chi.
There is a time, and two people may become entangled and entangled because of a sentence.
For a while, the atmosphere became heavy again, and Mu Zexi's face became cold and cold, without a trace of warmth.
