Chapter 044: Reward

That's what she thinks, it's just talking on paper and imitating others, Xia Ye still continued to be modest: "No matter how much the courtiers have a plan, it's all empty talk on paper, or the third prince uses the soldiers in a good way." ”

Xia Ye glanced at Chu Chengde and continued: "On the battlefield, Xia Ye still looks at the prince, these are the merits of the prince, Xia Ye does not dare to swallow it alone." Xia Ye thought about it and kicked the ball to Chu Chengde.

"Oh?" Could it be that De'er and I are hiding something?

There was a smile on the corner of Chu Chengde's mouth, but she didn't expect that in her heart, he was so majestic: "Father, in fact, this time to repel Xia Ye of the Dead Kingdom is indeed indispensable, but she is too modest." ”

Seeing Xia Ye's anxious appearance, Chu Chengde felt funny and continued to kick the ball to Xia Ye.

"Bengong just watched you play dumb riddles, what are you talking about, tell me about it." Murong Yun looked at the excitement below.

"Yes, the concubine only listened to what Cheng Xiao said, and the concubine also wanted to hear the original thing." An Ning An Guifei echoed.

"Since the queen and the concubine want to hear what happened between you, then De'er should stop being modest and tell the matter as it is." Chu Ang also ordered around with interest.

"In this case, it is better to obey the order than to be respectful."

Chu Chengde got up and looked at Xia Ye and said, "At first, Erchen didn't know that Xia Ye was a woman dressed as a man, let alone that she was the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Chu Chengde said as he watched Xia Ye staring at him, these were memories between him and her...

After Chu Chengde finished speaking, the emperor and Empress An Guifei all said that Xia Ye was indeed a rare strange woman.

Xia Wenxuan also looked at this daughter, who he had never looked at before, and actually experienced this in the days he was away.

Jiang Qiuhua didn't expect that Xia Ye, who was bullied by others before, would be so brave and resourceful, the person who came out of Chu Chengde's mouth, she even suspected that it was this Xia Ye who was sitting here?

After hearing this, Chu Ang said: "I didn't expect that Xia Ye, a woman who looks weak, would be so brave and strategic, and she had an empty plan to surround the enemy army in the city. ”

After hearing this, Chu Ang was full of praise for Xia Ye: "Another straw man plan to delay time, wait for reinforcements to come, three generals ordered, take a city without spending a single soldier, go deeper into the enemy army, help De'er see through the enemy's tricks, such a resourceful strange woman, it is so unbearable to be rumored by the outside world, if I know who is talking nonsense and spreading rumors, I must be severely punished!" Chu Ang slapped the table angrily.

Jiang Qiuhua and Xia Ziyan, who were sitting below, were shocked when they saw Long Yan, it seemed that they really underestimated Xia Ye, a girl.

Chu Ang looked at Xia Ye, who was not shocked on his face, and said, "How did you come up with the idea of dressing up as a man to join the army?" ”

"The border war is chaotic, and as a citizen of Jiang State, he should have stepped forward." Xia Ye sighed: "It's a pity that Xia Ye is a daughter, and there is no place for revenge, so I had to disguise myself as a man and mix into the barracks, and thanks to the love of the prince, Xia Ye was able to do something for Jiang Guo." "Regardless of whether her words are false or not, anyway, what she said is right.

After Xia Ye finished speaking, Chu Ang looked at Xia Ye with admiration in his eyes: "No wonder my two princes want to accept you as a concubine, and you are really a different woman." ”

"The emperor praised it falsely, Xia Ye didn't dare to be ashamed."

"Xia Ye, the repelling of the Dead Country, the contribution is indispensable, I want to reward you!" Chu Ang thought for a while and said, "What is the reward for you?" ”

Chu Ang looked at the queen and asked, "What good ideas does the queen have?" ”

"The concubine thinks that Xia Ye is a woman, and she is so handsome, it is better to reward more silk and satin."

"What does Concubine An think?" Chu Ang asked again.

"The concubine thinks what my sister said makes sense, but the emperor might as well ask Xia Ye to see what she wants." Concubine An Guifei looked at Xia Ye lovingly, and said in her heart that if she could be a concubine of filial piety, of course it would be excellent, so she kept looking at Xia Ye, not only handsome, but also not delicate.

"Natsuba, what do you think I should reward you?" Chu Ang asked Xia Ye instead.

Xia Ye got up and knelt on the ground and said: "Xia Ye doesn't dare to ask for any reward, these are all things that Xia Ye does as he likes, if the emperor rewards something, it makes Xia Ye feel that he is deliberately asking for a reward." ”

Chu Ang felt amused when he heard this, and even glanced at Xia Ye and said, "But I feel that if I don't reward you with something, my heart will be uncomfortable. ”

Wipe! The emperor's reason is too capricious! Xia Ye thought for a while and said, "If the emperor has to reward Xia Ye with something, it is better to agree to Xia Ye's request." ”

"Oh?" Chu Ang was curious now, it wasn't that he didn't agree, but last time he wanted to reward De'er, and De'er also said that there was only one holy decree, which stumped him.

"Tell me what?" Chu Ang asked cautiously this time.

Xia Ye lowered his head and said: "In this battle with the Dead Country, Xia Ye went deep into the enemy's military camp not only to see through the enemy's plan for the prince, but also unexpectedly found that the Dead Country has suffered from drought in recent years, and the people have no harvest, and even many people have no food, and it is said that the reason why the Dead Country attacked the border of our Jiang Country this time is because he can't get the rich tribute next year, and he doesn't mean to disagree with my Jiang Country." ”

Xia Ye saw that the emperor showed no signs of anger and continued: "And Jiang Guo is under the governance of the emperor, the country is rich in land and materials, Xia Ye hopes that the emperor can reduce the annual tribute of the Jiang country, first, it can show the courage of my Jiang country, and at the same time, it will also make the Jiang country think that my Jiang country is a neighbor that can be relied on, and second, it can stabilize the border tranquility, and ask the emperor for permission!" Xia Ye finished speaking in one breath, not daring to look up at the emperor sitting in the main hall, she didn't know if she should say this, whether she was right or not.

Chu Ang looked at Xia Ye, who was articulate and not humble or arrogant, he didn't expect that she, a little girl, would have such foresight, not only pondered in her heart, what she said was not unreasonable, but listened to her meaning The country was because she couldn't get tribute, and she had no way to resist.

Xia Ye knelt underneath and didn't see the emperor speak for a long time, she didn't know what the emperor was thinking, could it be that she was talking too much, she not only muttered in her heart.

Seeing that the emperor's face was cloudy, Xia Ziyan looked at Xia Ye with a good look, and said in her heart that you would be nosy, and now I am afraid that I will not be able to eat and go around.

The atmosphere was a little solemn, and Xia Wenxuan also looked at Xia Ye with a worried expression.

After a long time, the emperor who was high above spoke: "I will come to discuss this matter tomorrow, thanks to Xia Ye's thoughtfulness, otherwise I really thought that he would want to oppose my Jiang country, it turned out that it was because he couldn't get tribute, Ye girl, you are really the lucky star of Jiang country, I agreed to your request!" Chu Ang said with a relieved face.
