Chapter 250: Merit

Situ Qingchu suddenly called him up and began to praise again.

"Second brother, tell me, your brother has made such a great contribution, how should I reward him."

Throwing the question to Situ Huaibo, the emperor obviously had other ideas.

Situ Huaibo was originally on the cusp of the storm, and he was a great hero, and the other party was still sitting opposite him.

He arched his hand towards the emperor and said respectfully: "Father, the second brother has made a lot of contributions this time, and he should be rewarded, but Erchen is the younger brother's own brother, if you want Erchen to reward the third brother for meritorious deeds, I am afraid it will cause gossip." ”

After a few words, he kicked the ball to the emperor again.

The emperor laughed loudly, pointed his finger at Situ Huaibo and said: "You, you, you are really slippery, that's good, the third child came to announce it in person last time, spread my will, Situ Huaizhu, fought against the enemy, promoted to prince, and gave him the title." ”

As for the rewards, such as land, gold, silver, and other things outside the body, this decree does not appear.

When Situ Huaibo heard this, his eyes darkened.

And the courtiers who had originally voted for Situ Huaidu's name were happy that the hair crown on their heads was about to fall off.

Originally, when he was named the king of the county, the emperor did not give any title, but only used the word "decided" in the name of the three princes, but today, the emperor not only gave the title of the prince, but also gave the title of Chen, what is called "Chen", the light of the sun and the moon, scorching its glory, that is dazzling meaning.

And what is the most dazzling, isn't it only the throne?

The ministers froze.

But the little sense they still had made them subconsciously kneel, "Congratulations to King Chen, congratulations to King Xichen." ”

Situ Huai was still kneeling, and he received a great gift from the ministers.

The reward given to Situ Huaizhu ended, and the emperor began to reward meritorious deeds again.

Marquis Jing Kang was called out alone, and then several sons of the Min family were also called, and the emperor rewarded them for their meritorious deeds.

It's not just a verbal reward, but a promotion is a standard.

But compared to these vanities.

What makes the rest of the sons and buddies jealous the most is that these people have entered the eyes of the emperor, and the future will definitely be bright and far-sighted.

Just letting the emperor look at this one in the other way made them red-eyed.

The banquet continued, because Wen Qingqian was already Situ Huaiju's quasi-imperial concubine, and when the Internal Affairs Office arranged the seats, Wen Qingqian was arranged by Situ Huaiju's side, and the distance between the two was less than two meters.

At such a close distance, Situ Huaizhu acted as if he didn't see her, and didn't say a word the whole time.

Wen Qingqian felt the slightly mocking gaze that fell on her, she gritted her teeth and took the initiative to talk to Situ Huai.

"Your Highness, life at the border is very hard."

After Wen Qingqian asked, he was also a little worried, Situ Huaizhu was too cold to himself, when he went out on the expedition before, she went to see him off in person, and the man also said on the spot not to marry her, almost choking with the emperor.

Her face was blue and white for a while, if it weren't for the grand scene at that time, and there was no lady in the past, this scandal would definitely be known to everyone.

But today, if he still ignores himself, I'm afraid it won't be tomorrow, all the ladies in the capital will know, and she can't be liked by her fiancΓ©.

No, she will never allow it, whether it is her face or the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will not be allowed.

So, she forced herself to put on a smiling face, and under Wen Hongzhi's eyes, she approached Situ Huaizhu and began to talk.

A few breaths, in Wen Qingqian's opinion, seemed to have passed many days and nights, and she stood pitifully.

The laughter and whispering made Wen Qingqian feel that her body was getting colder and colder.

It was getting colder and colder, and the glance that Situ Huai Jue glanced over lightly was colder than ice, colder than the heaviest weapon.

"Your Highness, you-"

But Situ Huai decided to look away and became even more cold.

She smiled reluctantly and continued to walk forward, wanting to pull Situ Huaiju's sleeve and let him talk to her, even if it was only one sentence.

So that the people who are chattering will be silenced.

However, he didn't.

He turned his head indifferently, and spoke to the fourth prince on the other side, his gaze past him, as if she was transparent.

Wen Qingqian's eyes turned red instantly, and he was about to drip out with tears.

Full of grief and indignation, she gritted her teeth, and tears rolled down unconsciously.

She suddenly stood up and hurried out of the feast.

"Third brother, even if you don't like him, don't humiliate her like this."

Situ Huaiju glanced at Situ Huai lightly, "I humiliated her, no." ”

Situ Huaiyong immediately froze, seeing that his brother's words meant that he didn't take Wen Qingqian, the quasi-imperial concubine, to heart.

However, Situ Huaiyong also knew that his brother had only Qu Miaoling in his heart.

Thinking of this, Situ Huaiyong lowered his head and ate his own things.

Wen Qingqian rushed out of the banquet, and there was the aggressive voice of those women in his ears.

"That's Wen Qingqian, her face is so thick-skinned, His Royal Highness the Third Prince ignored her, and she was still pestering him with a dead air there."

"yes, I saw it too, it's shameless."

"However, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has made such a great military feat this time, the emperor appreciates him, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince has lost his color compared to him, it seems that it is not certain who will spend this throne."

The sound of the women's conversation reached Situ Huaiju's ears, his eyes narrowed, and then he picked up a glass of wine and put it to his lips.

Yes, he also promised Qu Miaoling that he would definitely work hard to win the throne.

When the time comes, he will marry Qu Miaoling back in a bright way.

Let's see who dares to say anything about him.

Raising his head and pouring down all the glass of wine, his throat was hot, but Situ Huaidu's chest was warm.

He couldn't help but look at Qu Miaoling who was sitting opposite him, the other party didn't say a word to Situ Huaibo since the banquet, just drank by himself.

He glanced at Situ Huaibo several times and took the initiative to talk to Qu Miaoling, but Qu Miaoling ignored it, and sent him away without saying a word, Situ Huaibo was not angry, but just turned his head and talked to others.

Suddenly, Situ Huaibo stood up, glanced at Wen Qingqian's back and left.

Situ Huaiju's eyes flashed again, could it be that between these two people......

Besides, Wen Qingqian rushed out of the banquet, she staggered and wiped her tears.

Looking at the pitiful one, coupled with the face of the little jasper, it looks even more pitiful.

Situ Huaibo just saw Wen Qingqian crying and ran out, and he was worried in his heart, so he chased him out.

Situ Huai didn't give Wen Qing shallow face just now, and he also saw it, but he was Situ Huaidu's second brother, so he couldn't talk too much about other people's family affairs.

Therefore, his hand hidden under the table was clenched, and when he saw Wen Qingqian running away, he still wanted to comfort her.

"Qingqian, you stop."

When Situ Huaibo chased him out, Wen Qingqian had already run into the garden

She leaned against a large tree and wept.

In fact, when she came out, she deliberately cried to Situ Huaibo, in order to test his sincerity towards herself.

Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, the corners of Wen Qingqian's mouth slowly opened, and it was an arc full of scheming.

"Your Highness, Qingqianβ€”"

She choked and turned her head, her eyes already red from crying, and her body was still trembling slightly.

"Don't be sad, I saw it all just now."

Holding the woman in front of him in his arms, he touched her back in heartache.

"Qingqian, don't be sad, that Situ Huaizhu is a ruffian, he can't see your goodness, I can, you are a good girl, and you will definitely be a good wife."

"But Your Highness, Qing Qian will marry him in the future, the emperor's will-" Wen Qingqian said as he spoke, crying so much that he couldn't speak.

"Qingqian, you see Situ Huaizhu like that just now, do you think you can still marry him? In other words, will he still marry you? ”

Situ Huaibo's questioning voice was so harsh, Wen Qing's heart was broken when he listened to it.

"Your Highness, if I can't marry Situ Huaiju, there are only two ways waiting for me, one is that Bai Aya committed suicide, and the other is to become a sister-in-law."

Wen Qingqian couldn't cry, and he didn't take his breath when he saw it.

Situ Huaibo looked even more distressed, "Qingqian, don't worry, isn't there still me?" ”

He touched Wen Qing's shallow and beautiful long hair, and said, "Isn't this just right?" You were given Situ Huaidu, it was originally a helpless move, and now there is this opportunity, I will marry you back to the mansion, but in this case, I will wronged you. ”

Situ Huaibo's meaning, she also understands that Qu Miaoling will definitely marry, so if she enters the Huaiwang Mansion, she can only be a side concubine at most, and if Situ Huaibo is willing, she can also fight for the position of a flat wife.

Butβ€”

At present, Wen Qingqian himself knows that this is impossible.

After all, it was the marriage that the emperor personally pointed out, and the elder brother went to the younger brother's quasi-imperial concubine, and if he wanted to be a flat wife, the emperor would not have a good time.

"Your Highness, you are so nice."

Wen Qingqian obediently leaned his head on his shoulder, and his voice was a little sweet.

"Qingqian, don't you mind the identity of the side concubine?" Situ Huaibo suddenly asked.

"Your Highness, as long as I can marry you, I can accept any identity."

Wen Qing said lightly.

The voice was full of trust and love for Situ Huaibo, which made Situ Huaibo's man's self-confidence burst instantly.

He couldn't help but raise his chin slightly, looking very arrogant.

"Qingqian, you have always been my favorite woman, I married Qu Miaoling only because of her status, do you understand?"

Situ Huaibo began to coax, but Wen Qingqian didn't expose him, and nodded, "Your Highness, Qingqian understands, we made an oath early on to live and die together and grow old together, if it weren't for the emperor's order not to be violated, maybe we would have been together a long time ago." ”

Wen Qingqian raised his head and looked at Situ Huaibo with tears in his eyes again.

Those eyes were full of love and admiration.

"Qingqian, you're so nice."

Stroking Wen Qing's shallow hair, Situ Huaibo said affectionately.

"Your Highness, everything in Qingqian is yours, and Qingqian is willing to sacrifice everything for you."

Relying on his own man, Wen Qing said shallowly.

"Qingqian, I have one thing for you to do right now."

"What?"

"You give me a deposit for Prime Minister Jin Wen's every move, no matter what it is, you have to report it to me, you know?"

'Your Highness, do you want to-' Wen Qing's eyes flashed with horror.

If Prime Minister Wen falls, she wants to marry Situ Huaibo as a side concubine, which is simply a fool's dream.

Don't look at Situ Huaibo's affection for him now, when that day really comes, he will definitely kick himself away without hesitation, like kicking away a piece of garbage.

A dark glint flashed in Wen Qing's shallow eyes, but she still promised: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on you." ”

Situ Huaibo also saw that Wen Qingqian was absent-hearted, and he followed up and explained: "Qingqian, don't be careful, your father is in a high position and power, and there are so many people staring at him, I do this, first, to protect him, and secondly, for our sake in the future." ”

Wen Qing looked at him in surprise.

Situ Huaibo paused and said: "Qingqian, you don't know, your father's official promotion is too fast, I don't know how many people are jealous of him, and you also know last time that your father was reprimanded by his father and almost lost his official position. ”

Situ Huaibo moved with affection and reason, and he stared at Wen Qingqian with burning eyes.

"Your Highness, but he is my father after all, if I stare at him, wouldn't it be unfilial?"

Wen Qingqian hesitated, and the hesitation in her heart also collapsed under Situ Huaibo's explanation.

She looked at Situ Huaibo suspiciously, and under the other party's firm and divine gaze, she nodded, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will help you keep an eye on it." ”

Situ Huaibo patted Wen Qingqian's shoulder comfortingly, "Qingqian, don't worry, I will never do anything to your father, you also know my character, I don't like unknown things, so you must tell me about your father's dynamics." ”

"Your Highness, I understand."

Situ Huaibo was even more satisfied when he heard it.

"Qingqian, you are really my good girl."

Wen Qingqian's heart moved in an instant because of this sentence.
