Chapter 43: Reward
"By the way, father, you have to reward Lord Xue well, on the way back to the palace today, fortunately, Lord Xue came to the rescue, and my daughter was saved from a car crash."
"Oh?" The emperor turned his head, looked at Xue Pingping, and looked at him for a moment before turning his head back.
Xue Ping knelt down calmly, arched his hand and said: "It's just that I happened to meet it, and other people will do the same, so the princess doesn't have to take it to heart." ”
"How do you think your father will reward him?"
The emperor ignored Xue Pingping's modest words and asked Princess Yaohua directly.
"Father, you reward him for being a big official!"
Princess Yaohua said lightly, but Xue Pingping's heart seemed to be caught in the palm of her hand.
Nervous, flustered.
This is a curse or a blessing!
The emperor glanced at himself just now, clearly with scrutiny and questioning.
"Princess, it is a great blessing to be able to serve by the emperor's side, and I dare not think about it anymore. Your kindness is appreciated in my heart! ”
"I promised you to be a big official! Don't worry, my father loves me the most and will never refuse my request, right? Father. ”
"Hmm. Reward him for being a big official? Then, Xue Pingping, tell me, how big an official do you want to be? "This Xue Pingping, dare to hit his daughter with his idea, I want to see how ambitious you are!
There is no doubt that the emperor is tempting.
Xue Pingping wants to cry, Princess Yaohua, please stop talking nonsense, okay?
"Your Majesty, I don't want to be a big official, I just want to serve by your side, give you a massage, and relieve your fatigue, and I'm already satisfied."
"Really?"
"Yes! There is no great talent in the bottom, and he can't be a big official. I don't want to be a big official, it's too tiring to be a big official, and I don't have this ambition in my subordinates, so please ask the emperor to know it. ”
"Well, if you can be self-aware, very good, then you can go to the Internal Affairs Office with Gonggong Huang and purify your body so that you can serve me without distractions, how about it?"
Yes? Cleanse? This...... Never!
Xue Pingping's face was pale, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
I knew that a companion is like a tiger! He still wants to fly to Tengda and live a good life with Mengyouyou!
Could it be that the day after entering the palace, he was going to be a eunuch?
"Your Majesty, it's wrong below! I can't be a eunuch below, I'm the only man in the house, and I am the only one in the house, and I have the heavy responsibility of inheriting the lineage, so I must not purify myself! Ask the emperor for mercy! ”
Xue Pingping kowtowed like pounding garlic, hoping that the emperor would open up the net and take back his fate.
"Princess Yaohua, please intercede for the villain, the villain doesn't want to be an official, and he doesn't want to be a eunuch, please!"
Xue Pingping deeply understands the lowliness of his identity at this moment, he calls himself a villain, he is just a little person, a little person like an ant, who can be crushed to death by others casually.
Princess Yaohua was still smiling, fiddling with the jade seal on the imperial case in her hand, and said absentmindedly: "Father and Emperor are looking at you, so he wants you to stay by his side and serve forever!" Isn't it, Father? ”
"Well, that's right, I appreciate your talent, and if you want to, I won't treat you badly, and I will protect you for the rest of your life."
"The villain thanks the emperor for his appreciation, but the villain wants to be a real man, not a eunuch.
The villain has a wife in the family and becomes a eunuch, isn't it a burden to her?
Please be sympathetic to the villain, the villain promises to be loyal to you for a lifetime, not to mention serving you, that is, to be a cow and a horse for you, and a watchdog! ”
"Oh, you have a wife?" The emperor asked Xue Pingping, but his eyes looked at Princess Yaohua.
"Yes, the villain has been married for three years, the husband and wife are very affectionate, the villain can't be a negative man, for the sake of glory and wealth, he will hurt a woman with affection."
"It seems that you are also a person with affection, get up!"
The emperor seems to have let him go?
"Thank you for your kindness." Xue Pingping got up in shock.
"Alas, boring! When you are tied up in the clean room, this princess will appear again and shout: Keep people under the knife! Doesn't it seem that this princess is benevolent and mighty? ”
"Yaohua, don't mess around. Since he doesn't want to be rewarded, and I can't make it difficult for others, he and his wife are in love, so I will reward his wife with the title of countryman. ”
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Xue Pingping's head is very regular.
Although the emperor rewarded Meng Youyou, but because Meng Youyou was his wife, he was still rewarding him, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor didn't force himself to be a eunuch!
It's better to appreciate dreams than yourself, and if you get a reward for your husband, you will definitely look down on him!
Princess Yaohua was a little stunned, and after making trouble for a long time, she actually benefited her rival Mengyou.
That's it, it's just a townsman, what she Yaohua fancies, can others still grab and win herself?
"Father, the son is also tired, retire first, you can rest."
Princess Yaohua glanced at Xue Pingping and left the imperial study listlessly.
The emperor adjusted a comfortable position, lay on the couch, closed his eyes and rested.
Xue Pingping was frightened by the one just now, and there was some cold sweat on his hands, so he cleaned his hands again before starting to massage the emperor again.
"Xue Pingping, Princess Yaohua is my favorite daughter, don't provoke her, otherwise one day, I will really let people castrate you."
The emperor closed his eyes, and the low and slow words came into Xue Pingping's ears.
"Yes, Emperor Xie reminded me that I will definitely pay attention in the future and avoid some princesses."
Xue Pingping is really afraid of Princess Yaohua, and he must stay away from her in the future, how far away he is.
But what he was thinking in his heart was that the dream was quiet, the emperor gave her the title of township, so she was also a person who ate Yulu?
Xue Pingping is worried about going back at night, how can I explain today's misunderstanding, with this title rewarded by the emperor, Meng Youyou will definitely listen to his explanation.
The emperor slept for half an hour, and Huang Gonggong woke him up, and it was time to get up and approve the folds.
The emperor still asked Xue Pingping to serve the pen and ink. Huang Gonggong helped hand over the folds on the side, and then sorted out the approved folds.
After a while, Gonggong Liu came in and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Qi asks to see you." ”
"Well, Xuan!"
"Retreat first."
Xue Pingping took the initiative to avoid and retreated to wait outside the hall.
When he passed by King Qi in a four-clawed python robe at the door, he bowed.
With a quick glance, Xue Pingping had already become curious about King Qi.
King Qi was born tall and straight, with a face that resembled the emperor, but he did not have half of the emperor's majesty, but had a sense of cowardice.
Xue Pingping came to the outside of the hall and saw Commander Xiao in armor, with a big knife hanging from his waist, standing tall and majestic at the entrance, all those who wanted to see the emperor, regardless of their official status, had to go through his physical examination before they could enter.
Xue Pingping exchanged a few words with Commander Xiao in the past, and the topic naturally came to King Qi.
Zhu An, the king of Qi, was the eldest son of the emperor, and was sent to the cold palace because his mother participated in the murder of other concubines, that is, Princess Yaohua's mother.
The king of Qi was also implicated because of this, and he was not treated well, and when he turned sixteen, he went to the fief.
Over the years, King Qi has been bent on making up for his mistakes on behalf of his mother and concubine, taking care of Princess Yaohua carefully, more intimate than his own brother, and always sending someone to the palace as soon as he finds something interesting.
Therefore, Princess Yaohua and his relationship are very good, and they don't care about the grievances between their mothers.
It's just that the emperor has never been able to let go, so King Qi is always submissive in front of the emperor, like a child who has made a mistake, and he has always wanted to find an opportunity to make the emperor change his opinion of him.
Xue Pingping sighed in his heart, even if he is a prince, he doesn't necessarily have to be windy, the emperor is favored, he is the prince, the emperor doesn't like it, it's no different from ordinary people.
Not long after, Liu Gonggong passed Xiao to lead the palace.
