"The queen is reasonable, but Miss Xu Jiu is from the Xu family after all, even if the Xu family is sad, but it is inevitable, and it can't be given compensation because of this, so it is unkind and righteous for the court!"

Although the queen was unwilling, she also knew that it was impossible for the Xu family not to be rewarded, so she followed the emperor's words and said, "Of course the concubine knows, but this reward for the Xu family has to be carefully considered!" ”

The emperor said with a smile, "The queen seems to have an idea?" Let's hear it! ”

The queen said, "Miss Xu Jiu's righteous act of sacrificing her life to save her brother in the sea of fire was admired by the world, but it also made people know that the heirs of the Xu family were hard, and it happened that a group of palace maids were going to be put in the palace to marry now. ”

"That's great!" The emperor really nodded, turned his head and ordered someone to send Xu Shu's ashes and the two palace maids who were rewarded to Xu Hui to the Xu family.

The first time I saw the two palace maids, Xu Hui was puzzled, but he still listened honestly, and after learning that these two palace maids were rewarded to him, Xu Hui accepted the order with an old red face, although this is a supreme grace, but Xu Hui is not a greedy and lustful person, he was embarrassed for a while, and he also felt a little strange, how could he be so rewarded for his mediocre political achievements?

The palace maids who were rewarded in this way are not just ordinary miscellaneous palace maids like Aunt Su when they were in the palace, and most of the palace people who can be personally pointed out by the emperor to his subordinates are powerful people around the palace masters, and the masters are afraid that they will suffer out of the palace, so that the emperor will give them a stable and rich second half of their lives, and the emperor can also take this opportunity to take this as a reward for the glory of his subordinates, and the minister can also get closer to the master behind the palace maid because of the palace maid, which is a good thing that all three parties can profit. How many ministers are looking forward to the emperor rewarding one or two palace maids, but Xu Hui, who is not looking forward to it, has it.

Li glanced at the two palace maids who were standing behind the inner chamberlain, their faces were so heavy that they could drip water, but this was given by the emperor, and she could only admit it if she didn't like it, and these two palace maids were different from other concubines who couldn't move easily, and they felt even more angry in their hearts.

Seeing that the two attendants were still not leaving, the attendants who were standing silently behind before stepped forward, holding a tray in his hand, and there was something covered with a black cloth in the tray, about a foot high, the leading attendant looked at the thing covered by the black cloth, sighed, and looked at Xu Hui with infinite sympathy, "Lord Xu mourns!" ”

Xu Hui was stunned, where did the mourning come from?

The waiter took down the black cloth and revealed what was inside, it was actually a plain ash altar of plum Ziqing, Xu Hui was stunned, his eyes almost couldn't believe it, and he didn't dare to think about it, so he just stared blankly at the waiter.

"Miss Xu Jiu died of illness in Pingliang City on the 22nd of last month!"

Xu Hui sat on the ground after hearing the "pop", and Xu Shu died... Her sister-in-law died...

"The emperor took pity on the loss of his beloved daughter, so he rewarded the lord with two palace maids to show comfort!" After speaking, the chamberlain took the ashes altar and handed it to Xu Hui himself, "Lord Xu's festival mourns and changes, our family will go back to the palace first!" ”

Xu Hui mechanically took the ash altar and held it in his arms, sat motionless on the ground, or came back to his senses, Li took the silver with red eyes and sent the waiter away, looking back at Xu Hui was already in tears, and the whole person seemed to have lost all his spirit in an instant.

Li motioned to his subordinates to help Xu Hui up, Xu Hui was stunned and let someone help him up from the ground, only holding Xu Shu's columbarium tightly and not letting go, Li motioned for someone to help Xu Hui back to the study, "The master will go back and rest first, and the concubine will go to her mother, and tell her mother about this!" ”

Xu Hui was only mechanically dragged and moved his steps, he didn't hear what Li was saying, Li sighed and looked back and saw the two palace maids standing behind him, and his heart was blocked, Li was in turmoil, impatient to take care of them, so he instructed Wu Mama to say, "Take them down, arrange a courtyard to live first, and you can also watch the arrangements for the people who serve, now I am busy, so that they can stay in the house honestly, and drink their tea when they are free!" ”

"Yes!" Mama Wu wiped her tears and led the two palace maids down, looking at the graceful back of the palace maids, Li's heart became more and more unhappy, it turned out that the emperor rewarded these two palace maids to make up for Xu Shu's death, thinking that the little grief that Li originally had because of Xu Shu's death was also washed away.

"Mother... Mother... Something is wrong! Li cried and ran towards Songde Hall.

Wang was asking someone to hold the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses born by Hao's to tease, and he heard Li's crying, and before he had time to reprimand, the dragon and phoenix fetus had been scared by Li's sharp cry, and Wang's displeasure called the nurse to hold the dragon and phoenix fetus, and looked at Li who broke in directly without passing through the communication, and reprimanded, "It's all a handful of old people, and I don't know how solemn it is, what kind of system is it to cry like this?" ”

Li sat down on the ground and cried, "It's not that the daughter-in-law doesn't know solemnity, it's really... The daughter-in-law feels uncomfortable! ”

"What's going on?" Seeing Li sitting on the ground regardless of his image, Wang also felt strange, Li had never been so rude.

"Sister Shu... Sister Shu is gone..."After Li finished speaking, he covered his face and cried bitterly.

"What?" Wang was shocked, "What did you say?" ”

Li Shi covered his face with a handkerchief and choked up, "Just now there was a servant in the palace, and the emperor rewarded the master with two palace maids!" ”

It is a great honor to be rewarded by the emperor and the palace maid, and the Wang family instantly did not remember what the Li family said just now, "Sister Shu is gone", and even showed joy on his face.

Li continued, "The chamberlain also brought an ash altar, saying that Sister Shu died of illness in Pingliang!" After saying that, Li began to cry again, crying breathlessly, if it wasn't for the maidservant's support, he would have fallen to the ground.

Wang saw that Li was almost crying before he said, "Sister Shu'er's body is not a sign of longevity, the doctor has already said it, you can also look at it!" And even if Xu Shu died, he also earned a special honor for the Xu family, and the Wang family felt that Xu Shu was also a well-deserved death, and when Xu Shu went to make peace, for the Xu family, Xu Shu had died since that time, so the Wang family was not very sad except for the initial shock.

Li leaned softly on the maidservant, her eyes were already red from crying, and when she heard the old lady make her want to open up a little, she couldn't help but shed tears again, "Even though the doctor said such a thing, but she left Beijing alive and kicking, and now it's only been a few months that the kung fu person is gone, and the daughter-in-law sends the black-haired person, how can she see it in her heart!" ”
