Empress Changsun also knew about those things in Huo Guogong's mansion, and she knew very well that Chai Shao was dizzy and believed in the demagogy of Taoist priests in Youfang and abandoned his daughter among the people.

Therefore, being so aroused by His Majesty Li Er's interest, she also wanted to know what Chai Shao's expressions would be when she heard the two important ministers of the court asking for a reward for Wu Xiuxiu.

Immediately, she asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, what was Huo Guogong's expression at that time?" ”

"He? Haha......"

His Majesty Li Er laughed again, and said happily: "I saw that his face was green at that time, haha, that look really wanted to swallow Gao Shilian and Li Jing alive." Tsk, this is obviously the ugliness of Huo Guogong's mansion, but it was promoted by these two old foxes, and it was known to the whole court, do you think Chai Shao can be comfortable? ”

Hearing what her husband said, Empress Eldest Sun could also imagine Chai Shao's mood at that time, and then smiled and said: "But then again, Xiuxiu's child is really pitiful, if he hadn't married Guo Ye, he might have lived a lifetime in confusion." Your Majesty, the concubine said a fair thing, Huo Guogong was at fault for this, and the death of the eldest princess of Pingyang that year, how could he blame and anger on a child? Speaking of which, Huo Guogong is still sorry for Xiuxiu's child. ”

His Majesty Li Er looked at Empress Changsun with deep feelings, nodded, and said softly: "Guanyin, I understand your thoughts, and I also know that this matter is wrong with Chai Shao's big horse. Therefore, although Chai Shao's face was not good, I did not refute the request of Gao Shilian and Li Jing in court. ”

Empress Eldest Sun's eyes lit up, and she suddenly asked, "Then Your Majesty has agreed to the request of the two old ministers and is ready to give Xiuxiu a reward for this girl?" ”

"Yes, this child also has the blood of the eldest princess of Pingyang, and she should always be compensated for after being in the people for so many years, right? Do I remember that the eldest princess of Pingyang and Chai Shao also have a young daughter named Chai Hehe? It seems that this kid was rewarded with the title of Lord of Linyang by the Emperor Taishang and his old man. Right? ”

His Majesty Li Er recalled a little and asked: "The two children are both from the eldest princess of Pingyang, you can't favor one over the other, especially Xiuxiu, who has suffered a lot from the people. But I'm also in trouble, how can I reward her? ”

Empress Changsun finally understood her husband's attitude, and secretly said in her heart, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and it is easy to add icing on the cake, so it is better for this palace to take this opportunity to return Guo Ye's favor, right?

She always remembered that she had given Guo Ye a Jinpa, and Guo Ye had not asked for anything from him for a long time. It's better to take advantage of today and pay it back together.

Immediately, Empress Eldest Sun proposed softly: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess of Pingyang has passed away for many years, why don't you let Xiuxiu, the child, inherit her mother's title?" ”

"Huh? The title of the word plain? ”

His Majesty Li Er looked at Empress Changsun suspiciously, and said, "Guanyin, do you mean that Feng Xiuxiu is the county lord of Pingyang?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun shook her head, rarely teased her husband with a playful expression, and said, "Your Majesty, Gao Shilian and Li Jing asked for a knighthood for Xiuxiu and you, you can't be so stingy, right?" In addition, if the concubine also speaks out for Xiuxiu, you should always give her the title of county lord, right? ”

"Lord Pingyang?"

His Majesty Li Er's face hesitated for a moment, and he wondered: "Guanyin, aren't you making it difficult for me?" All dynasties have clearly stipulated that the lord of the county lord can be given to a woman with a foreign surname, but the county lord and princess are limited to people in the royal family. Feng Xiuxiu is a county lord, but it is reasonable, if she is the county lord, this is not in line with etiquette. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Empress Eldest Sun said: "Xiuxiu is also the eldest daughter of the eldest princess of Pingyang, and she also has half of the blood of the Li royal family, plus this child has a poor background, and he has no mother to take care of him since he was a child. Even if she is named a county lord, what can she do? There are exceptions. Moreover, the Marquis of Yizhou originally incorporated Tuyuhun into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which is a miraculous achievement in opening up the territory. If the concubine remembers correctly, His Majesty's reward for Guo Ye still owes a disadvantage, and it will be compensated to Xiuxiu along with it. This is also a way to sympathize with capable ministers. ”

"Rong Zhen thinks about it......"

His Majesty Li Er bowed his head and fell into silence, weighing himself left and right.

Soon, he had an idea in his heart, looked up at Empress Changsun, and said solemnly: "Guanyin, you are right, there are special exceptions to everything. To be honest, Guo Ye, this kid has helped me solve a lot of troubles that ordinary people can't solve, and this kid's ability is by no means comparable to those pedantic ministers. Okay, according to your words, Xiuxiu will inherit her mother's title, title, and she will be named a county lord. As for those stereotypes, I am the Son of Heaven, so why not make an exception again? ”

Empress Eldest Sun's eyebrows moved slightly, and she said in surprise: "So, Your Majesty agreed?" ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded heavily and said, "Well, you don't have any jokes. Come to someone, pass on my will to Li Daozong, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, and the reward of the royal title must be signed and stamped by him, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, to be counted, and this rule cannot be broken. ”

As soon as the voice fell, a chamberlain eunuch trotted in, bowed and bowed, "Please pass on your majesty's will." ”

His Majesty Li Er stood up and said majestically: "Decree to allow Guo Wu's Xiuxiu, the wife of Guo Ye, Marquis of Yizhou, to inherit the title of her mother, the eldest princess of Pingyang, and from now on, she will be knighted as the lord of Pingyang County, and she will eat thousands of households in Pingyang County." Well, there is also an edict that Wu Xiuxiu, the lord of Pingyang County, changed his surname to Chai, so that he could recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors as soon as possible and reunite his family. ”

The eunuch took the small book and wrote it down word for word, and then said respectfully: "The slave will pass His Majesty's will into Zongzheng Temple." ”

With that, he quickly retreated out of the Manna Palace.

Empress Eldest Sun listened to her husband's last temporary addition, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "Your Majesty, Guo Ye has always been thinking about letting Xiuxiu return to the Huo Guogong Mansion in a beautiful way to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, so as to make a little bit of Chai Shao's arrogance. It's good now, you have sealed Xiuxiu Pingyang County Lord here, and let Xiuxiu change her surname as soon as possible. Think about it, it is the prince of the country who is the father, but the daughter has become the lord of the royal family, seeing that the daughter still has to pay three respects, Chai Shao still can't make you angry? ”

His Majesty Li Er also smiled bitterly: "This is what he did absurdly back then, he owes a foolish account, and he will have to pay it back sooner or later, and I will also help him get rid of this pimple in his heart." Alas, although Chai Shao is not right first, but after all, they are father and daughter, and they are still connected to the tendons after breaking the bones, and they are not as deep and hateful as they imagined. Guanyinwen, you and I are both parents, and we should be able to understand Chai Shao's current thoughts. I guess he now regrets what he did back then. ”

Empress Eldest Sun snorted, watching her husband talk about the father-daughter relationship between Chai Shao and Xiuxiu, and couldn't help but think of Li Tai, who was deposed to Qianzhou, and Li Chengqian, the eldest son who was deposed as the crown prince.

She sighed with sorrow in her heart, I don't know when Your Majesty will be able to dissipate her anger towards Tai'er and Chengqian, and let their brothers return to the palace as soon as possible and reunite as a family?

……

……

This time, regarding Wu Xiuxiu's title as the county lord of Pingyang, Li Daozong's work efficiency was extremely high, and he did not delay or neglect for a while.

It was almost time for dinner, and this decree of reward was transmitted to the Yizhou Hou Mansion in Taipingfang.

At this time, Guo Ye also returned home early from the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and as soon as he heard the holy decree, he immediately took Xiuxiu to the main hall of the mansion to receive the decree.

Crash~

From Guo Ye and Wu Xiuxiu, to the pro-soldiers, servants, maids, and old mothers in the Hou Mansion, they all knelt down to receive orders.

After the eunuch recited the holy decree of the reward with a sharp voice, the entire Yizhou Hou Mansion suddenly boiled, and the mountain shouted Long live the emperor and the queen a thousand years old.

Think about it, Guo Mansion is a husband and a marquis, and his wife is the lord of the county.

What a glorious view this is?

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. These people in Guo's mansion naturally followed the rising tide, walking on Chang'an Avenue, with their faces shining and their waists straight.

Guo Ye and Wu Xiuxiu were also stunned by His Majesty Li Er's sudden holy decree, and a full sense of happiness instantly appeared on the faces of the husband and wife.

Especially Wu Xiuxiu, since Guo Ye rose to the top, he always felt that he was missing something.

Now the emperor has asked her to inherit her mother's title and be knighted the lord of Pingyang, and she, the wife of the Marquis of Yizhou, is finally well deserved, and she has not fallen into Guo Ye's name at all.

After receiving the decree, Guo Ye bribed the eunuch to deliver a few ingots of gold, and heard from him the origin of this decree of reward.

The old uncle Gao Shilian has made great contributions.

Li Jingju, the Duke of Weiguo, made great contributions.

The eldest grandson queen is the icing on the cake.

For a while, he was really emotional, and secretly thought in his heart that by chance, all the favors he had paid had been received today, and the three accounts were one, in exchange for Xiuxiu, a plain county lord, it was really worth his grandmother!

When Guo Ye looked at Xiuxiu's face full of happiness and sweetness, he couldn't help but say, it seems that he will have to be a good talent in the future, yes, suffering a loss is not necessarily a loss, and after suffering a loss, it is often a blessing.

After a while, the descendants of good things moved the firecrackers that were not released during the New Year, and crackled at the gate of the Yizhou Hou Mansion to celebrate, which shook the sky and shocked Taipingfang, and even the entire Chang'an City knew that the Hou Lady of Yizhou was knighted by the Holy Lord of Pingyang.

But some people rejoice, and some people worry!

Located in Kang Renfang, Huo Guogong's Mansion is full of rumors.

Because Huo Guogong Chai Shao not only heard the sound of firecrackers in Taipingfang Guo Mansion, but also received the news that Xiuxiu, his eldest daughter who had abandoned in Shu, had just been knighted by the Holy Lord of Pingyang.
