The price paid had to make Emperor Jing Xuan think more.

"Your Majesty, but you don't want to be separated from the second prince?"

Emperor Jing Xuan's cold eyes swept over, and Empress Jiang felt a cold sweat break out behind her, but she had to grit her teeth and continue.

"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that the second prince is obsessed with the rural village woman surnamed Zhou, but no matter how capable this surnamed Zhou is, he does not have the etiquette and upbringing of several generations of nobles born with the family heritage, how can he be worthy of the position of the second princess in such an act?"

"What do you mean......"

Emperor Jing Xuan moved his mind.

"The concubine means that instead of blindly objecting, it is better to agree to the engagement for the time being, and once the marriage is decided, she will participate in the social activities of the nobles, and then she will be able to feel the gap between herself and the young ladies of the natural big family in the capital."

Empress Jiang made this calculation in her heart, and when the time came, she would not only feel the gap between them, but it was a big difficulty to learn etiquette, and how could a rural village woman learn it in such a short time, and when the time came, she would still not be able to gain a foothold in this circle.

Emperor Jing Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, "Empress, this woman is not an ordinary noble lady, what she does is beyond the scope of an ordinary lady." ”

He didn't think that such a woman with a heart would care about such things.

Empress Jiang gritted her teeth and smiled reluctantly: "Your Majesty, although the concubines don't understand this, they also understand that if a woman can take care of the backyard, it is the real help for men, if she does a man's business, then what about the backyard?" ”

Emperor Jing Xuan was silent for a moment and waved his hand: "The matter of Qin Tianjian, Rong Zhen will think about it again, and this matter will be put aside for the time being, you can go back first." ”

Queen Jiang answered, blessed her body and went down.

"Niangniang, is Your Majesty really willing? Can this be done? ”

Liu Er helped her, and her tone was vicious: "That country girl, I'm afraid that I don't know the identity of the second prince, and I am blinded by the monstrous wealth on my back, and I don't know what is going on, so I just want to catch the second prince to death." ”

Empress Jiang glared at her, "Trouble comes from the mouth, there are many mistakes, I have never taught you this truth!" ”

"Yes, the slave knows what is wrong!"

Liu Er hurriedly slapped herself a few times: "It's the slave who lost her words!" ”

"Just know! That girl is just doing a little business and making some money, the emperor values her so much, what kind of mind can a woman who came out of a small place have, I really don't understand! ”

Empress Jiang let out a sigh and went back to the palace.

"Tomorrow is the last day, and you can go back after finishing your work!"

Zhou Xinzhi blinked, she really didn't live a person's life these days, if she waited a few more days, her arm would probably not be saved.

"Yes, these two times are your credit, and my father will not be so harsh."

Qin Qianyu pursed her lips, Emperor Jing Xuan's temperament, he couldn't figure it out for the time being, but Zhou Xinzhi's exploits were so good that even some minor officials couldn't compare, no matter what she said, she should be given some titles.

"Qianyu, I actually didn't expect Emperor Jing Xuan to accept me so quickly."

Zhou Xinzhi closed her eyes slightly, she knew better than anyone about the class gap, it was not something that could be crossed overnight, even if Emperor Jing Xuan relaxed the conditions for her, it was definitely out of consideration for Qin Qianyu.

And the original purpose of him calling Qin Qianyu back was to restrain Qin Shuyu.

So what does she count as in his eyes?

"Madam, when we get out, we will go, go away and fly high!"

Zhou Xinzhi's eyelashes moved, and she didn't remove them... Speak.

Next

Several people finally returned to the capital.

"Madam, this dress has been cut for you early, what a fitting dress, just for entering the palace!"

Qiaocui looked Zhou Xinzhi up and down, dressed in an apricot-colored palace dress, with a silver dress wrapped outside the window, which was beautiful.

"Is it pretty?"

Zhou Xinzhi looked at herself in the bronze mirror, wearing this gorgeous costume, she suddenly realized that this was also her.

"Of course it's good-looking, Madame's demeanor can hold up anything she wears."

"Let's enter the palace."

Zhou Xinzhi helped the jewelry on her head, even if she was wearing it according to the lady's specifications, she still couldn't stand it.

Her identity is different from Qin Qianyu's, so she can only go through the side door.

"Madam, this is so unfair, obviously you have married the second prince as a concubine, but you can still only be a young lady here."

Qiao Cui couldn't help but wipe her tears, and Zhou Xinzhi smiled shallowly: "Don't be like this, it's only this time." ”

Qiaocui held back tears and nodded.

After entering the palace, I met the emperor first.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at Zhou Xinzhi quietly, but did not call her up.

"Whether it's the last flood control or the plague this time, you did a good job."

Is this a salute before a soldier?

Zhou Xinzhi's voice was deep: "Thank you Your Majesty for your praise, the people's daughter is honored to be so praised by Your Majesty." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Emperor Jing Xuan's face looked a little better, "It seems that you still have a clear understanding of your identity." ”

Zhou Xinzhi chuckled in her heart, can she not bow to the imperial power?

"You are a smart child, you should know what it means that I called you over alone, the identity difference between you and the second prince is too great, but your merits cannot be ignored, so I decided to make you the county lord."

Named the county lord?

Zhou Xinzhi thought of many possibilities before she came, but the most unlikely thing was to think of giving her such a disgraceless vanity, after all, as the supreme figure in the world, she should know the greed of human nature better than anyone else.

How could you make her the county lord?

"Your Majesty, the people's daughter is just a mere people's daughter, she is rootless and unworthy of accepting such an honor, if Your Majesty is willing to reward ten thousand taels of gold, then the people's daughter can accept it."

"Presumptuous!"

Emperor Jing Xuan fell out directly!

"I've never seen such a bold woman dare to ask me for something directly!"

Zhou Xinzhi paused and raised her head: "Your Majesty, I prefer things that are tightly held in my hands than those flashy and unreal names, like gold, and the people prefer these things that can be directly taken out and exchanged for real things." ”

"You're smart."

Emperor Jing Xuan waved his sleeves: "The emperor's words are true, the holy decree cannot be taken back, you have to be the county lord and you have to be right, but this gold is ten thousand taels, I can give you a discount." ”

Zhou Xinzhi was stunned: "How much do you give me?" ”

"Twenty thousand taels of silver."

Zhou Xinzhi couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, the emotional atmosphere she had just immersed in was completely destroyed, where is this discount, it's just a big sale, okay?

"Your Majesty, that's not how our account is counted."

You can not give anything else, but this money will inevitably be discounted again, and she has more than so much money to get out of the hands these two times!

If you want a reward like this, not only will you not even have the money, but you will only need to come back with a tenth of it.

"Alright, that's it!"

Emperor Jing Xuan waved his hand, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed.

"Father."

Qin Qianyu stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"Madam, why did you come early?"

Zhou Xinzhi's eyes flashed: "I just happened to come early, so I came in early." ”

Qin Qianyu nodded: "Father, Xin Zhi has made a lot of contributions in the face of these two disasters. ”

"I know what you're going to say, I've already written a reward for this girl, take a look."

Gonggong Dong read the holy decree on the side, and Qin Qianyu's face slowly stiffened, this county lord, one level higher is the princess, and then they will never have a chance to get married!

If my father did this, could he warn him again?

"Father, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, Xin Zhi is just an ordinary person, and he was named the county lord so simply, I'm afraid I can't explain it to the ministers."

"What I said, what I said, what's the matter, you also want me to take back my life?"

Emperor Jing Xuan originally thought that if he could take this opportunity to force Qin Qianyu to compromise something, but this week Xinzhi opened his mouth to ten thousand taels of gold, where can he get so much money in the treasury now, and he doesn't know how to make up for this deficit at that time!

So this one must not be changed!

"Father!"

"Okay, there's no discussion about this!"

After accepting the reward, Zhou Xinzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Qin Qianyu couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Xinzhi, this time my father did too much, but I didn't expect him to be so resolute in refusing to change the holy decree, if it was to change." ”

"Of course he won't change, because if he changes, he will have to pay me two taels of gold, and he will force you to compromise something, so I think it's better to leave it like this, besides, it's just a county lord, and I don't care about it yet."

Of course, Zhou Xinzhi can think of what kind of things she will face.

It's just that they are about to deal with the affairs of the temple, and those princes and princesses who want to find her trouble have to weigh themselves and weigh whether they have the ability.

"It's me who I'm sorry for you."

Zhou Xinzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't say that, to be honest, I have also got it now, something that I can't get in my life...... Even if I want it or not, this wealth is the envy of all people. ”

"And...... We must be able to go together, Qin Qianyu, I will never leave because of your words, if you have a trace of loosening in the future, I will leave you without hesitation! ”

"No, of course not, I can't change my mind about you, this place doesn't ...... In all places, there is no one in the imperial land under the world who can compare to you! ”

Zhou Xinzhi couldn't help but sneer: "Look at what you said, I didn't dare to answer, and suddenly it became so powerful?" ”

"Of course, you are the most important thing in my heart."

Zhou Xinzhi pursed her lips, her face flushed: "Okay, let's go quickly, the jewelry on my head is too heavy, and if I don't go back, I can't stand it." ”

"Okay, it's my fault, I'll call the carriage now."

Back at the house, Zhou Xinzhi lay on the familiar bed, and was groggy to fall asleep for a while.

But there was a loud noise outside the door.

"Sister, sister, why didn't she call me when she came back, and you dog minions, don't you know that she is my sister! I didn't know if I came back! ”

"Looks like you didn't take me seriously!"
