How did the emperor come!

The queen and Sima Jin glanced at each other.

In order to show his favor, the emperor not only came to the city tower to receive the wind for everyone, but also specially set up a banquet in the palace to comfort the envoys for their hard work.

At this time, the emperor should have been drinking with others in the front hall, how could he appear in the queen's Qingning Palace!

I didn't have time to think about it, the emperor's guard of honor had already entered the gate of Qingning Palace. 、

Sima Jin hurriedly stood up from the queen's side and pulled Chu Shan, who was eating pastries with the palace maids, to stand aside.

"Queen, don't you know how much face Xiao Qi has earned in Dongyao this time for our Western Jin Dynasty!" Before anyone saw it, they heard it. The emperor entered the palace in a good mood.

Everyone hurriedly saluted: "See Your Majesty (Father)"

The Emperor raised his hand and motioned for everyone to get up. Strode up the steps and sat down at the main seat.

The palace people hurriedly brought another chair and placed it beside the emperor and asked the empress to sit down.

The emperor was in high spirits, and before the queen could sit down, he took the queen's hand and praised him with joy: "At the banquet, the boss asked the chief envoy and deputy envoy of the envoy whether Xiao Qi was willful and caused trouble for them. You know what the mastermind said! The emperor followed Chu Ye's example and continued, "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince is a young man, and he didn't cause any trouble to the envoys' team, but he made great contributions, allowing the many secret arrows of Dongyao and Beiyi's envoys to turn back halfway, which greatly frustrated the spirit of the two countries!" ”

Listening to the emperor's unabashed praise of Sima Jin, the queen was even happier.

Her Xiaoqi is the most capable, where is it as unruly as rumored outside, and it is not a big deal!

"Didn't you see the boss's face after the master finished speaking? The title of a county king, even if he is so red-eyed, he will not be able to become a big atmosphere in the future! The emperor snorted coldly, slightly dissatisfied.

This is not something that the queen can take. Not to mention that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics is the ancestor of the Western Jin Dynasty, the eldest prince is the eldest son of the emperor, and his biological mother Concubine Xian is the daughter of the Li family. The emperor's son, it is normal for the emperor to be beaten or punished, but she is not the biological mother of the eldest prince, and she cannot be as unscrupulous as the emperor no matter what.

What's more, if he offends the Li family, he may have much impact on his little seven fingers.

Seeing that the queen didn't answer, the emperor frowned, she also knew the queen's concerns, but no matter how noble the status of the virtuous concubine was, the queen was so cautious, but it made him feel a little distressed as a husband.

"Empress......" The emperor was about to speak, when he heard Sima Jin's unruly voice remember.

"Father! This envoy is not the work of the ministers alone, and the envoy's holding is making Chu Ye also work hard. Erchen's first envoy was very rude when he first arrived at the border of Dongyao, but thanks to Chu Ye's clever arguments, he covered up many of Erchen's rudenesses, and instead won glory for the country. ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the person who refuted the eldest emperor in the hall seemed to be this envoy named Chu Ye. He nodded secretly, what the Seventh Emperor said was right, finding someone named Chu Ye is indeed a person who can speak well.

It's just that I don't know why I haven't heard anyone recommend him in the court before.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Yes, this one named Chu Ye is indeed a good seedling." I remember, he was recommended by you, the emperor! ”

Listening to the emperor's words, the empress couldn't help but feel a little anxious. How does it sound that the emperor is questioning the privacy of Xiao Qi's party?

If the emperor's words today are spread, how can others think!

"Your Majesty......"

"Returning to my father's emperor and recommending Chu Shangshu is indeed because of his son's own selfish ......"

"Little Seven!" The queen was anxious, and hurriedly glanced at Sima Jin.

Sima Jin was indeed not in a hurry, and explained slowly: "All the officials in the DPRK and China know that it is not a good job to go to other countries. Therefore, most of them are avoided. And Chu Shangshu ......" Sima Jin laughed at himself, "It's because Chu Shangshu punched Erchen, and Erchen wants to take revenge!" ”

Get you back?

The emperor was interested, "You take revenge on him, that is, recommend him as an envoy?" ”

"Back to my father, exactly!" Sima Jin generously admitted.

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, you let me tell you what is good!" The emperor stroked his palms and smiled, "You are giving revenge to the country and the court to produce a good seedling!" ”

Sima Jin did not refuse to come, and took this compliment into his pocket, "Thank you for your father's praise!" ”

"Speaking of which, Erchen went on an envoy this time, and he also brought back a granddaughter to his father!" Sima Jin continued, pushing Chu Shan out by the way.

Chu Shan has always remembered Chu Ye's many instructions before entering the palace, and kowtowed to the emperor in a decent manner, "The people bow to see Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a little girl as Chu Shan. As early as at the banquet, he heard Xiao Wu say that Sima Jin brought a girl into the palace, but he didn't expect that the girl Sima Jin brought was a four-year-old girl!

"Father, son-in-law and others on the way to the mission, unexpectedly saw this little girl being coerced and cheating, and the son-in-law saw that she was pitiful, so he bought her and recognized her as his daughter." Sima Jin never mentioned the matter of burying the villain who coerced Xiaoshan alive in the back mountain of Fenghua, even if he was the prince, he could not ignore the law and discipline and commit murder.

"I see......," the Emperor muttered.

The queen sat beside the emperor, and when she heard this, she covered her lips and smiled, and said half-jokingly: "But isn't it, when Xiao Qi just came in with this little girl, the concubine thought that Xiao Qi was deceived outside and brought back an illegitimate daughter." ”

"Hahahaha!" Listening to the queen's joke, the emperor also laughed.

However, when he thought about it carefully, Xiao Wu's words were hidden in the needle, and he secretly said that Xiao Qi's behavior was inappropriate and his morality was flawed, and he even believed it. Now it seems that he misunderstood Xiao Qi.

Thinking like this, the emperor's heart directly subtracted one point from Sima Rong. looked at Sima Jin's eyes, and unconsciously carried a trace of guilt.

Sima Jin also keenly captured the guilt in the emperor's eyes.

He looked at Chu Shan, and reminded with distress: "Father, look, the goddaughter of the son is still kneeling on the ground." ”

The emperor didn't say anything, and Chu Shan was naturally still on the ground.

"Yes, yes, the little girl is also sincere, I didn't say it, this head has been knocking on the ground. Come over and let me and the queen see if their foreheads are red. ”

Chu Shan raised his head and looked at Sima Jin timidly. Sima Jin's eyes softened, signaling that she could go. Only then did Chu Shan get up and walk towards the emperor.

The emperor saw the interaction between the two in his eyes, and secretly praised Sima Jin in his heart for teaching well.

"Xiao Qi too, where did you get so many courtesies between father and son, I was tired all the way and stood for so long, hurry up and sit down."

"Thank you, Father." Sima Jin saluted respectfully and walked to the chair on the side to finish it. But I still can't help but slander: There is no father and son in the heavenly family, how dare I treat you as a father?

Sima Jin was sitting on the chair, watching Xiaoshan walk step by step, full of distress.

Chu Shan was young, and he knelt on the ground for so long. When I got up suddenly, I am afraid that my legs are still numb.

When the queen saw her stupid son's expression, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your Majesty, look at Xiao Qi's eyes, as if you are afraid that we will eat this little girl." ”

After she finished speaking, she stood up, personally held Chu Shan in her arms, and went back to sit down.

Sima Jin looked at the queen gratefully.

The queen rubbed Chu Shan's reddened forehead distressedly, "Look at this girl, this palace doesn't know what to say." ”

As she spoke, the queen turned Chu Shan's head to the emperor's side: "Your Majesty, look, just hit your head on the ground, and it won't hurt." ”

Before the emperor could speak, Chu Shan's childish voice remembered: "Daddy said, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and kowtowing to Your Majesty is to kowtow to heaven." Shangcang feels Xiaosugi's sincerity, and will naturally bless the Western Jin Dynasty for thousands of generations, long live Your Majesty! ”

"That's what your dad said?" The emperor couldn't help but think of teasing. The afterglow at the end of his eyes also swept to Sima Jin, who was sitting below.

"Hahahaha!" The emperor didn't know how many times he laughed out loud like this today, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi, this time you are an envoy, you can't help but elect a capable courtier for me, and bring me back a lovely granddaughter!" ”

Most of the children who often walk in the palace are the children of the family, and the family carefully teaches them, but they are only a few years old, but they are a little more refined than the monkeys. Seeing that he was even more afraid of the emperor, where would he say such childish words. This little girl is really cute, and she has an appetite for him!

The queen also likes Chu Shan very much, and she can't wait to raise her in the palace and accompany her as an old woman.

Sima Jin was even more happy. In the past, although he always claimed to the outside world that Chu Shan was his Sima Jin's child, no one would take Xiaoshan in his eyes if he didn't admit it from the emperor, and no one would put Xiaoshan in his eyes without the royal jade. Now that the emperor has personally said the word "granddaughter" in his mouth, once this matter is rumored, no one will dare to look down on Xiaoshan again.

He was about to open his mouth and step forward to thank him, when he heard an even greater reward from the emperor's mouth!

"Queen, I see that this girl is cute and clever, Xiao Qi has made great contributions, it is better to reward her with a knighthood, and I will often enter the palace to accompany you in the future."

This "she" is, of course, Chu Shan in the queen's arms.

As soon as these words came out, even the queen couldn't help but be a little surprised! The Western Jin Dynasty is very strict with the division of titles, and Chu Shan can get a title reward when he is only four years old, which is a great grace!

"Your Majesty!" She muttered, her heart filled with gratitude.

She likes children, but she was injured and has nothing to raise for the rest of her life. Even if the emperor recorded Sima Jin in her name, Sima Jin at that time had already passed the age of a sticky mother. Now that she sees Xiaoshan, a loving heart is even more aroused, and this child is Xiaoqi's adopted daughter, and she likes it very much.

I didn't expect ......

Unexpectedly, His Majesty actually saw her thoughts, and was willing to give a knighthood to make a face for this child!

"Concubine, thank Your Majesty Longen!" She placed Kosugi on the ground and made a solemn salute.

Sima Jin also quickly got up and kowtowed to the emperor.

Chu Shan looked innocent, but when he saw that his father was kneeling on the ground, he also quickly knelt down and thanked him.

Her well-behaved appearance made the emperor even more fond of her. He should even exchange it for Sun Tingyu: "Tingyu, pass the decree, the adopted daughter of the Prime Prince's Mansion ......"

He stopped in the middle of his words and looked at Sima Jin with some embarrassment.

He doesn't know the girl's name yet!

Sima Jin hurriedly replied intimately: "The surname is Chu Mingshan." After speaking, he also explained intimately, "This child was adopted by Erchen and Chu Shangshu together, and for convenience, he took Chu Shangshu's surname." ”

Chu Ye had an excellent impression in the emperor's heart, so he didn't have any opinion on this. He nodded, and then said: "Chu Shan, the adopted daughter of the Prime Prince's Mansion, is of Roujia quality, gentle in nature, reciting the majesty of the royal family, and specially named her the county lord of Zheng Erpin, and named Le'an." ”

Le'an County belongs to Xiangzhou, which is in Sima Jin's fiefdom. Speaking of which, it also happens to correct Chu Shan's name.

Sun Tingyu hurriedly wrote down the emperor's orders, and when the emperor returned to the palace, he ordered the Internal Affairs Office to hurry up and prepare to go down.

The emperor was in a good mood today, coupled with Chu Shan's innocent and witty words, and rewarded her with a wishful hand and a few brocades. By the time this girl returned home with Sima Jin out of the palace, she had already become a little rich woman.

Today's Qingning Face Sage ended up with Sima Jin secretly poking and poking his own royal brother, and Chu Shan mixed up with a county lord title!
