Chapter 23: Reward

"Little master, the father-in-law Zhang Qilin in front of the emperor is here." Li Quan, who was the first to get the news, immediately sent Xiao Lianzi to tell Yu Yao, "Father-in-law Li Quan asked the servant to tell you quickly, so that you can hurry up and get ready, he will welcome Father-in-law Zhang in later." ”

When Yu Yao heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and immediately reluctantly put down the rice bowl in her hand, stood up, and wiped her mouth and hands while taking the handkerchief handed over by the palace maid on the side, and asked Bihe, who also heard the news and rushed over to serve, asked: "This little master is not rude when he dresses now, right?" ”

Bihe looked at it, smiled and nodded, "No, it's appropriate." ”

That's good, Yu Yao was glad in her heart that she didn't take her own temperament too much, and she was too casual and convenient to dress, otherwise it would be very troublesome to redress and change clothes, so she walked to the main hall of the side hall with confidence.

I didn't take two steps, I suddenly remembered something, and walked to my bedroom with Bihe, and after a while, the two of them walked out, and then walked to the main hall.

Not long after arriving at the main hall, in a few flicks of his fingers, Li Quan smiled and welcomed Zhang Qilin in a slightly courteous but not annoying way.

Zhang Qilin squinted slightly, quite proud, but he didn't make people feel that he stepped into the main hall of the side hall with no one in his eyes, and he was followed by five little eunuchs.

One of the five eunuchs carried a food box, while the other four each carried a tray covered with a red cloth in both hands.

"I've seen the nobleman of Guerjia, the noble Jin'an!" Zhang Qilin put away his smile and bowed to Yu Yao, with a somewhat respectful and polite tone.

is worthy of being mixed in front of the emperor, even in the face of her, a little nobleman, he always remembers that he is so respectful and polite to her, no wonder the emperor will value him.

Thinking about it, Yu Yao didn't forget to turn sideways to avoid the other party's salute, she didn't forget that she was the master in name, but in fact, people had more face than her in the emperor.

"Grandpa Zhang is polite," Yu Yao smiled.

Zhang Qilin saw that Yu Yao was polite and polite to him, and he was satisfied, a smile appeared on his face again, and his tone was slightly pleasant: "The emperor has an edict, and the nobles of Guerjia will take the order!" ”

Yu Yao took the lead, and after Li Quan and Bi He quickly contacted and separated, they respectively led the palace people and eunuchs here to kneel down to receive the order.

"The emperor decreed that the nobles of Guerjia in Yikun Palace would give the imperial meal a piece of braised pork and a piece of dried vegetables and duck. Two handles of jade Ruyi, a branch of pearl jasper, a pair of jade bracelets, and a pair of jade drop bead earrings. A horse of cloud brocade, a horse of soft smoke, admiration. ”

After Zhang Qilin finished reading the edict, when Yu Yao led the palace people in the side hall to kowtow and was about to thank him, there was a sound of stopping in his ears.

"Wait, the emperor still has an edict."

Hearing this, Yu Yao continued to maintain the posture of kneeling down to receive the decree, and at the same time said gently: "Then please ask Gonggong Zhang to continue to pass on the decree." ”

Zhang Qilin nodded and continued: "The emperor decreed that the nobles of Xuanyikun Palace Guerjia will enter the Palace of Cultivation and Sleep. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Qilin paused and said, "Guerjia noble, you can thank you!" ”

Hearing this, Yu Yao restrained the turmoil caused by hearing that she was going to sleep, and began to lead the palace people behind her to kowtow and thank her, and then got up with the help of Bihe.

Waiting for Yu Yao to get up and settle down, Zhang Qilin reminded with a smile: "Your honor, you can start preparing for the bed after you finish your meal, and someone will come to pick you up when the hour is still or the hour of the hour." ”

Yu Yao nodded, pretending to be a little shy and smiling, "Thank you Gonggong Zhang for mentioning it." ”

Zhang Qilin smiled, "This is not a pointer, I guess the people around you also know, and they will remind you then, by the way", as he said, he took out a list from his sleeve and said while handing it to Yu Yao: "This is the record list of the emperor's reward items." ”

Bi He, who was beside Yu Yao, immediately stepped forward, took the list with both hands, and then handed it to Yu Yao, after Yu Yao took it, she folded it and put it away without looking at it, and said: "I'm tired of my father-in-law running this trip, I don't know if my father-in-law has something important, if not, I will drink a cup of tea here and rest." ”

Zhang Qilin saw that Yu Yao did not count the items on the list at all, but was very polite and relieved to him, and the smile on his face immediately became a little sincere.

"No need, our family has to rush back to serve the emperor." As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for several eunuchs to place their things on the square table in the main hall.

Yu Yao didn't look at the things on the square table, she smiled and said, "Then don't leave Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Zhang go slowly!" As he spoke, his eyes gestured to Li Quan.

Li Quan immediately understood, stepped forward with a little courtesy and not annoying, stuffed a purse for Zhang Qilin, and said respectfully: "This little gadget, the little master asked the slave to give it, it is not a tribute, Father-in-law Zhang, you must accept it!" ”

There has always been a habit of giving rewards in the palace, so Zhang Qilin did not refuse, but accepted it naturally, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward, and the slave will retire!" ”

"Li Quan, you send Grandpa Zhang for me!" Yu Yao said.

"Yes, little lord!" As he spoke, Li Quan walked in front of Zhang Qilin and led the other party out of the side hall until he came out of Yikun Palace.

"It's dangerous!" Yu Yao couldn't help but sigh in relief until she couldn't see the backs of Zhang Qilin and the others.

"It's really dangerous, it's the slave and maid who didn't think about it, but fortunately, the master thought of it, rushed back to the bedroom and took a purse and asked the slave and maid to hand it over to Li Quan, otherwise this reward will not be given, and the face is not good-looking, maybe it will be remembered by Father-in-law Zhang, so that the stumbling is not good, it is really hanging!" Bihe, who was supporting Yu Yao on the side, also turned slightly pale and sighed in a low voice.

Yu Yao thought of the consequences, and couldn't help but hold the handkerchief to cover her heart, feeling her heartbeat accelerate slightly.

At the same time, she made up her mind in her heart that she usually gave more purses to Li Quan or Bihe, and when she encountered such a sudden need to give a reward, she could deal with it immediately.

It's also that she is a little negligent, after all, this is in the palace, and the people who serve around her are not the people who often serve her in Guerjia Mansion, and she did not explain this matter to them.

Of course, in front of so many people, she will not show it, and she will explain to Li Quan and Bihe in private.

Thinking about it, Yu Yao didn't take this matter to heart anymore, she asked people to bring two imperial meals to the table, and eat them when she was eating.

Then, she took out the list that Zhang Qilin had just handed to her and handed it to Bihe, "This imperial gift, you keep these records in good shape, Yu Ruyi, you look at it and let people put it away, or put it on the Duobao Pavilion, jewelry, you let people put it on the dresser, right the two pieces of cloth, you look at it and let people make clothes out." ”

"The slave will deal with it later." Bihe took the order and responded.

Yu Yao nodded, "Then you can go with your business, I'll eat first." ”

After dinner, Yu Yao looked at the rest of the dishes, her amount of food was fine, but because she wanted to eat rice, she mostly ate rice, and basically moved a few chopsticks for each dish.

After thinking about it, in line with the idea of not wasting food, she instructed the palace maid who was waiting next to her: "These two dried dishes of duck and fried pork will be given to Bihe to eat, and braised pork and minced meat eggplant will be sent to Li Quan's father-in-law." ”

And Bihe and Li Quan, who received the two dishes sent by Yu Yao respectively, not only got delicious food, but also felt that Yu Yao, the master, valued them.

At the same time, it was also Yu Yao's two dishes that made the palace people in the side hall see the importance and status of Li Quan and Bihe in Yu Yao, and also made the scattered hearts of the people in the side hall except for the people from other palaces here led by these two people.
