Of course he didn't!

"Heh, it's a group of people who are as cheap as ants, so why don't you die?" Xuan Lang coldly dropped a sentence, and then turned his head and left.

Gu Jiuge already hated him, and in front of her, Xuan Lang had nothing to hide.

When Gu Jiuge returned to the main hall, Xuan Lang had already recovered his former humble and gentle son-like appearance, shuttling around the crowd, but no one could see through how frustrated this person in front of him was.

Mu Yao sat down, and the palace banquet officially began.

"This natural disaster caused chaos, the people suffered deeply, fortunately, there is still a group of loyal people in my Dayue Dynasty, and today I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds." Mu Yao said with a smile that he was indeed happy that the refugee matter was resolved.

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly echoed loudly.

"Zhao Bingye, the little son of the General's Mansion, set up camp, set up a tent to give porridge, and at a young age, he had the world in his heart, and he did not dishonor the lintel of the General's Mansion, and I was very pleased. But there is someone else who deserves the most commendation today. Mu Yao raised his voice and said, everyone heard the words, and naturally guessed who the person in Mu Yao's mouth was.

But Gu Jiuge is not as good as a man, he can enter the official career and serve the country. She is just a woman, and Mu Yao will reward her with some gold, silver and jewelry at most.

Thinking of this, everyone was very happy, fortunately, the person who made the first contribution was Gu Jiuge, if he changed the person next to him, it was inevitable that his power would not increase greatly because of his fame.

"Miss Gu Family, where is Gu Jiuge?" Mu Yao asked loudly, his eyes searched around, but he still couldn't find Gu Jiuge's figure.

When Gu Jiuge heard this, he also knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only come up.

"Courtiers see Your Majesty." Fu bowed his knees and said in a respectful voice.

Mu Yao couldn't stop laughing when he saw this, and said: "Hurry up, I have already asked General Zhao Gao, the reason why the general was able to respond to the disaster as soon as possible is because Miss Gu reminded me that the plague in the refugee camp was also solved by you, and I must reward you today!" ”

Mu Yao also really appreciates Gu Jiuge, she doesn't have the delicate temperament of an ordinary boudoir lady at all, but is strong and resolute, generous and tolerant but has a principled bottom line.

Such a woman, who can not praise it?

"This time, we were able to survive the catastrophe safely, all because everyone worked together, and the courtiers were afraid and did not dare to ask for credit." Gu Jiu Ge shook his head when he heard this, and said in a deep voice. Her original purpose was just to save people, not to be greedy for Mu Yao's rewards.

"As soon as I open my golden mouth, I will definitely be rewarded. What Miss Gu wants, just ask! Mu Yao saw that she was not arrogant or impatient when she had great achievements, and she appreciated her more and more in her heart.

"Since Miss Gu doesn't speak, then I'll be in charge. Reward you with 10,000 taels of gold and a thousand pieces of brocade. Mu Yao saw that she didn't speak, but when she was embarrassed to speak, she raised her voice and said.

Not only was everyone in an uproar when they heard this, but for a girl, such a reward was indeed not light.

The mother and daughter in the guest table were envious and jealous when they heard that something happened, and Gu Qinglai gritted his teeth with hatred. How can any good thing be met by her Gu Jiuge! Even natural disasters can be prepared in advance!

"Thank you, courtiers......"

"Wait."

Just as Gu Jiuge was about to thank him, he suddenly heard a cold and indifferent voice sounding above the main hall. Everyone followed the prestige, only to find that the person who spoke was Mu Liang.

Mu Yao frowned slightly, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Could it be that Mu Liang is not satisfied with this reward? But this is already the best reward Mu Yao can think of!

"Ah Liang, what's the matter with you?" Mu Yao asked in a deep voice.

Mu Liang put down the cup in his hand, got up and walked to the center of the hall, and stood side by side with Gu Jiuge.

"Gu Jiuge has made a great contribution this time, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and the people she saved are far from being worth the gold brocade." Mu Liang opened his mouth and said coldly.

Mu Yao also showed a look of surprise when he heard this, and asked, "What does Ah Liang think?" ”

"According to the opinion of the younger brother, it is very good to give the title of county lord."

As soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked.

Mu Liang, is this helping Gu Jiuge to ask for a reward? This kind of thing is really unheard of.

Gu Jiuge also looked at him with some shock, Mu Liang had never mentioned this matter to her. Feeling Gu Jiuge's eyes, Mu Liang replied with a reassuring look and signaled her not to worry.

Mu Yao lowered his head and fell into deep thought when he heard this, this proposal is not impossible.

"Uncle Huang is too partial to Gu Jiuge! She didn't do anything, why was she given the title of county lord, it's ridiculous! Before Mu Yao could think about it, Xuan Jing couldn't sit still, and stood up and retorted angrily.

Gu Jiuge was already so flamboyant when she was the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if she was really given the title of county lord, then wouldn't her eyes grow to the top of her head.

"When those refugees were beaten and scolded by the city gate guards and driven out, it was Gu Jiuge who gave them a place to live. When the plague broke out and they were about to be executed, it was Gu Jiuge who desperately protected each other. Later, it was found out that those people were poisoned and not plagued, and a catastrophe was averted. Just imagine, if the people knew that the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven would attack those innocent refugees in order to protect themselves, what would be the consequences? ”

Mu Liang opened his mouth and said in a cold voice: "In the past two months, Gu Jiuge has been busy with the affairs of refugees and has fallen ill many times. How many children have been awakened from sleep in her arms, how many patients have been taken care of by her, and how many people who have been killed by mistake have been buried by her own hands. ”

Mu Liang's gaze turned around the main hall, and everyone closed their lips tightly, not daring to speak.

"These things...... How can you who have never been to a refugee camp have the confidence to put your beak? ”

Words and sentences, landing sound.

It's impossible to refute it.

Xuan Jing was speechless by his words, and glanced at Gu Jiuge fiercely and sat back in his place.

After listening to Mu Liang's words, Mu Yao also felt that his decision seemed to be a little hasty.

"But time is urgent, and I haven't thought about sealing the account yet." Mu Yao said with some embarrassment.

If you want to give the title of county lord, you will naturally give it together with the title. But he didn't have this intention at first, and if he thought about it now, it would inevitably make people feel a little perfunctory.

"Qinghe." Mu Liang said lightly.

Mu Yao was stunned, "What?" ”

"The lord of Qinghe, take the Haiyan River and the Qing, the meaning of peace in the world." Mu Liang repeated it again, very seriously.

Mu Yao was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, it seems that Mu Liang had a premeditated plan, and he even thought about the title, that is, he was sure that Mu Yao would definitely agree to him. Thinking of this, Mu Yao couldn't help but shake his head and smiled helplessly.

"Liang Wang's suggestion is excellent." Mu Yao raised his voice and said: "The daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the nine songs of the Gu family, has a valuable character, has made great contributions, and has been specially given the title of the lord of the county, and the title of Qinghe." ”

When everyone heard this, there were joys and sorrows, as well as envy.

Gu Jiuge raised his eyes to look at the man standing beside him, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart. What is Mu Liang's heart for her, and why does he help her so much? The position of the county lord is so noble, and how many women have been able to make an exception to be named the county lord since ancient times?

She was so engrossed that she even forgot about Xie En for a while, and looked at Mu Liang quietly, as if she wanted to see him thoroughly.

"Thanksgiving." Mu Liang opened his mouth and said softly, Gu Jiuge heard that it was like waking up from a dream.

After tidying up his clothes slightly, Gu Jiuge knelt down and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"Alright, alright, get up!" Mu Yao said with a laugh.

The palace banquet continued, but Gu Jiuge's mind was completely messed up. Until the end of the palace banquet and when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Jiuge was still gloomy and didn't know what he was thinking.

In the small garden of drinking songs, Gu Jiuge sat in the courtyard in a daze. She always felt like she was in a mess, she didn't know what she was thinking, but she still couldn't come back to her senses. It was a long time before she got up.

"Huiqiu, you go out with me. Huachun, you obediently guard the house, I'll go back when I go. ”

……

Half an hour later, two women covered with light veils appeared at the door of the Liangwang Mansion. The little guy guarding the door couldn't see Gu Jiuge's face clearly, and he didn't dare to let him go rashly.

Gu Jiuge lifted his sleeves and revealed the jade bracelet on his wrist. The little girl was stunned when she saw the jade bracelet, and then hurriedly bent down to welcome her in.

In the study, Mu Liang was slightly shocked when he learned that he saw Gu Jiuge coming, after all, Gu Jiuge had never come to his mansion before.

"Came here to give the county lord a title?" Mu Liang looked at her and asked softly, Nantian retreated very thoughtfully after serving tea, and only the two of them were left in the study.

Gu Jiuge nodded when he heard this, "Why do you want to help me get the position of county lord?" ”

"Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to be false?"

Unexpectedly Gu Jiuge's answer, her brows furrowed more and more, "How about the truth?" What about lies? ”

Mu Liang looked at her deeply when he heard this, and only after a long time did he open his mouth.

"If you tell a lie, it's because I want you to get involved with me more and more, and you can't get out." Mu Liang said in a deep voice, Gu Jiuge was stunned when she heard this, she was as smart as her, and she didn't know how to take this sentence at this time.

"Didn't the prince suspect me before? What's wrong with me staying away from you? After being silent for a long time, Gu Jiuge asked such an innocuous sentence. Because in the current situation, this question is really meaningless.

Mu Liang really didn't answer, Gu Jiuge pursed his lips and said, "This is a lie, so what about the truth?" ”

Mu Liang's eyes darkened when he heard this, and his glass-like pure eyes were full of meaning that Gu Jiuge couldn't see. He was silent for so long that Gu Jiuge thought that he would not answer anymore.

"The truth is, I can't protect you all the time, with the identity of the county lord, others will be jealous. If I want to move you, maybe I think about it. He finally spoke, but it was like a small stone thrown into the surface of a calm lake. Although it is light, it can stir up layers of ripples.

At that moment, Gu Jiuge's heart shook slightly.

She couldn't say a word.
