Chapter 789: Double-Faced Saint
Emperor Zhaorong secretly felt funny: This little girl must still be a half-grown child, and everything she thinks is written on her face.
Emperor Zhaorong praised her, and finally said, "Pharmacist Chu has contributed so many recipes, what reward do I give you?" Also give you a 'princess who protects the country'? Slice a fief for you? β
"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, the title and fief will be left to the noble prince and princess!" When he was in Yanguo, Gu Yedu almost rejected the title of Princess Protector, how could he ask for these like the emperor of Dongling again?
Emperor Zhaorong said straight to the point: "Then what do you want?" As long as you bring it up, I will consider it! β
"Really?" Gu Ye grinned.
Emperor Zhaorong felt a little weak in his heart, for fear that she would make some strange requests, but he still said: "You have no jokes!" β
Gu Ye smiled and said, "The courtiers actually don't lack anything. But since the emperor has spoken, it is difficult for the courtiers to refute your face. Heard...... Those who have made great contributions to the country and the people can get a brand made of gold......"
"You mean...... Death-free gold medal? "Emperor Zhaorong was very surprised, why does this little girl want to avoid death? Isn't there one on the Zhenguo Mansion? Don't...... Still want to rebel or not?
Gu Ye nodded like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes!" You see, I took the initiative and voluntarily donated three prescriptions for the treatment of the epidemic, is this considered a contribution to the country and the people? This reward is well deserved! β
"What's the use of you asking for this death-free card? I promise you that as long as you don't rebel and don't murder the royal people, I won't give you or your family the death penalty. Besides, I remember that there is a gold medal for avoiding death in the Zhenguo Mansion...... "Emperor Zhaorong wondered in his heart, this death-free card can't be eaten or drunk, why do you want so much?"
"That's different! The family's death-free card is the honor of our Chu family's ancestors who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and it is to be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom. My piece is going to be used as a dowry and change a daughter-in-law for my fourth brother......" Gu Ye said, as if the death-free card had already arrived.
"Chu Aiqing, the fourth child of your family, who did he fall in love with, but the lion opened his mouth and asked your family to avoid death as a dowry. Appetite too, right? Emperor Zhaorong was even more curious, looked at the Zhenguo Gong on the side, and asked.
Gu Ye hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is a family matter of the Zhenguo Mansion, so it will not occupy the office time of the emperor and the adults." Let's go down and talk slowly! β
"Okay!" Emperor Zhaorong gave the chief eunuch beside him a look.
Gonggong Zhuang understood in his heart, and said in his throat: "Something to start, nothing to retreat fromββ"
The civil and military officials knew that the emperor was in a hurry to listen to the gossip, so naturally he would not be discouraged. As Gonggong Zhuang said, "Retreat from the court-", the ministers walked outside the palace one after another.
Only the father and daughter of Zhenguo were left in the palace. As soon as he entered the imperial study, Emperor Zhaorong asked, "What the hell is going on?" Which girl does your junior fall in love with? I want to see which of my good courtiers has such a big appetite and is not afraid to hold on! β
As long as Zhen Guogong says who it is, he must check carefully, what has happened to this guy, and he needs to avoid death as a dowry!
Gu Ye hurriedly said: "It's not the fourth sister-in-law's family who asked for it, I gave it voluntarily!" β
"Why do you think about giving your fourth sister-in-law's family a gold medal for avoiding death as a dowry? What is the meaning of this? Emperor Zhaorong asked.
"Uh...... Your Majesty, you give me the death-free card first, and I dare to say it. "It is said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the emperor is a moody creature, and Gu Ye will only say it after he is protected. Otherwise, if she harms Xing Guogong's family, where will she get another daughter-in-law for the fourth brother?
"It seems that this person's crime is really not small!" Emperor Zhaorong was even more reluctant to give away the death-free card easily.
"Your Majesty, don't worry! My fourth sister-in-law did not rebel, nor did she disadvantage the royal family. It has not harmed anyone's interests, that is...... told a little lie to the emperor...... "Seeing that the emperor didn't spit out, Gu Ye was helpless, revealing a little bit of tone.
"Lying in front of my father? That's a crime of deception! No wonder Miss Ye'er begged for a gold medal for her to avoid death! His Royal Highness the Young Prince, who was also present, spoke at this time.
"Is it really harmless to the country and the people?" Emperor Zhaorong asked.
"Really, more real than real gold!" Gu Ye almost swore an oath.
Emperor Zhaorong nodded, and from the dark compartment of the study, he took a palm-sized golden plaque, which was engraved with the words "Avoid Death". Gonggong Zhuang took the anti-death card, hunched his waist and held it with both hands, and sent it to Gu Ye's hands.
"Now can you tell me, which lady does your fourth brother fancie?" Emperor Zhaorong was very curious, who was the woman who could make the Zhenguo Mansion avoid being hired by the dead card.
Gu Ye happily looked at the death-free gold medal, the brand was golden, I don't know if it was made of pure gold. If it weren't for the emperor and the crown prince, she would have taken a bite of it to her mouth.
Hearing Emperor Zhaorong's inquiry, she said casually: "It's from the Xingguo Mansion!" β
"Xing Guogong?" The crown prince repeated softly and said, "Father, if the son is not wrong, in this Xing Guogong family, the old lady and the mother and son of Xing Guogong have not heard of a daughter...... Could it be that it is from the side branch? That's not right, how could the lady who hired the side branch of Xing Guogong's Mansion use the gold medal to avoid death? β
The father and son moved their puzzled eyes to the little girl who was playing with the gold medal. It should come, it will always come, Gu Yeshou didn't panic when he had a gold medal to avoid death, and said calmly: "It's not a side branch." The person my fourth brother wants to marry is Xing Guogong! β
"Poof-" Emperor Zhaorong spewed out the sip of tea he had just drunk in his mouth in a frustrated manner, and coughed, "What? Who to marry? Xing Guogong?? β
"I didn't ...... I didn't expect Chu Musong to have such a hobby...... "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also dumbfounded. It is not without a gentleman in Beijing who is a good man.
However, at most, those people play a little trick, or take a beautiful boy home to play, but they are just a plaything. Unexpectedly, there are people who are willing to marry a man. And that person's family actually supported it!!
"This Xing Guogong, although he is a little slender and soft, is not as charming and touching as a woman after all. Chu Aiqing, are you sure that your junior family does not consider others? "Emperor Zhaorong is somewhat incompetent. After all, the male style is an unhealthy style, and it is not advisable!
Zhenguo cleared his throat and said: "Our family has always been open-minded, and we don't do this with our parents. Children like whoever they like, after all, they have to live with each other for the rest of their lives. β
Gu Ye felt that it was better to solve it today, so he said: "Your Majesty, why don't you bring my fourth brother and Xing Guogong in, and you will ask them personally?" β
Emperor Zhaorong took a deep breath and glared at the prince, as if to say: You kid, if you dare to like a man, Lao Tzu won't break your legs!!
Soon, Chu Musong and Xing Zifeng were announced into the imperial study. The Xingguo Mansion has long since declined, and it has been far from the center of power for a long time. And Xing Zifeng is just an inconspicuous little leader in the Xishan military camp, she really can't think of what the emperor summoned her, and she is very worried in her heart.
When I entered the imperial study, I saw that Zhen Guogong and Fourth Brother Chu were there, and my heart "groaned" for a moment, and for a moment, my heart almost stopped beating. She remembered the words of Fourth Brother Chu a few days ago, saying that he could help her settle her troubles, so that she could wait for the Zhenguo Mansion to propose marriage...... Isn't it, the prince of Zhenguo is against it, and he has made trouble in front of the saint?
Xing Zifeng's heart was in turmoil, and he knelt on the ground to greet the emperor: "Minister Xing Zifeng, knock on the emperor!" β
Hearing Emperor Zhaorong's "flat body", she slowly stood up. Gu Ye walked over with a smile, stuffed the freshly heated death-free gold medal in his hand into Xing Zifeng's hand, and said, "Little grandfather, this is for you, take it!" β
Xing Zifeng lowered his eyes and looked at the sign in his hand. After seeing it clearly, his hands trembled, and he almost threw away the gold medal for avoiding death. She finally understood what Fourth Brother Chu meant by "leveling". There is a gold medal for avoiding death in the Zhenguo Mansion, and almost everyone in the court knows about it, so she naturally knows it. However, she never expected that Fourth Brother Chu would take this death-free card to protect her and the Xingguo Mansion......
The Zhenguo Mansion is powerful and has heavy troops, who knows if the things of more than ten years ago will be repeated-this is equivalent to taking the lives of the Zhenguo Gong for her peace for a lifetime. No, Fourth Brother Chu has a deep affection for her, and she gave her a gold medal, and she also has to consider it for him. This gold medal, she said that she couldn't accept anything!
"Sister Ye'er, quickly take the gold medal back, I can't accept it!" Xing Zifeng was determined to put back the death-free gold medal.
Gu Ye put his hands behind his back, flexibly dodged over, and said with a smile: "Little grandfather, I said that I sent you." Gifts to be sent, water to be spilled! If you don't take it, throw it away! β
Emperor Zhaorong and Crown Prince: ......
This is a gold medal from the Emperor to avoid death! Not to mention this death-free card, the emperor's reward, even if it is a feather, has to be taken home for offering! Throw away? Don't want a head?
The father and son quietly looked at Xing Guogong: a male and female face, delicate eyebrows and eyes, a healthy complexion, and a figure that is neither tall nor short...... Isn't it so beautiful that it makes people fascinated and confused? Why did the fourth child of the Chu family fall in love with him?
Xing Zifeng noticed the strange gaze of the royal family. She held back the shyness in her heart, walked up to Zhen Guogong, hung her head, blushed, and said in a voice that she could barely hear, with a little anxiety: "Chu ...... Uncle, take this gold medal back. It's too precious, I ...... I can't take it! β
Zhen Guogong looked at his daughter, and was quite proud in his heart: Our daughter is a good, and I haven't rewarded the death-free card for decades, and my girl earned it back at once. The gold medal she earns, she can give it to whoever she wants. I am an enlightened father and do not interfere too much with my children.
"Whoever gave you this gold medal, who you are looking for!" Zhen Guogong waved his hand, and had no intention of receiving the gold medal. The fourth son wanted to marry Xing Guogong, but he did not approve or object. The daughter is so active in asking for the card to avoid death, it should be for the sake of this child. If his daughter supports it, he will never oppose it.
