Chapter 84 The Emperor's Reward
After Concubine Qin sat down beside the emperor, she said to the emperor with a smile on her face: "Hahaha...... Bengong remembered that Prime Minister He Cheng had always been gentle, but he didn't expect his daughter to be so stubborn. ”
Although Concubine Qin had a smile on her face, her words were not as harmless as she seemed to be. On the surface, she just chatted with the emperor for a few words, but in fact, she didn't know the rules in terms of what her duties were.
As soon as Concubine Qin's words fell, a warm voice sounded: "Miss He can give a unique strategy for controlling water, she is a heroine among women, and her personality is naturally stronger." ”
Looking up, I saw Shen Huo coming in steps. He was dressed in a black robe with dark gold stripes, a jade crown and his hair were tied with sharp edges and corners, and he looked like a messenger from outside the sky who had stepped on the clouds in the light.
Looking at Shen Huo like this, He Suoyi's heartbeat unconsciously missed a few beats. She glanced at Shen Huo hurriedly and then lowered her head hurriedly to hide the emotion in her eyes.
Shen Huo was followed by Gu Zhiheng, who came with him, and he was still dressed in white today, a handsome boy who didn't care about the world.
When He Nuanliang saw Gu Zhiheng, his face was overjoyed, and almost all of his heart pounced on him. She stared straight at Gu Zhiheng and frequently signaled to him. However, Gu Zhiheng didn't seem to see it, his eyes were only staring at the emperor in the high position from beginning to end.
When Concubine Qin saw Shen Huo, her face was slightly displeased. She suppressed her emotions and put on a smile: "What the prince said is true. "The crown prince Shen Huo has just been commended by the emperor for dealing with the floods, and she must not collide with him face to face now. She endured it for a while, and then slowly cleaned him up later.
Shen Huo was not entangled with Concubine Qin, he and Gu Zhiheng sat down on the emperor's right hand side in turn.
The emperor ignored Concubine Qin's words, just looked at He Suoyi with a smile, and beckoned to her: "You kid is smart, come and let me take a look." ”
He Suoyi hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully saluted: "The emperor is blessed." ”
The emperor saw that He was calm from beginning to end, neither afraid of him like other young ladies, nor short-sighted like those who were deep in the boudoir.
He looked at He Suoyi and said with a smile: "You have made a lot of contributions to this water control, and I have decided to reward you." Tell me, what reward do you want? ”
He Suoyi was overjoyed, after waiting for so long, it finally came!
She forcibly suppressed the joy in her heart, and said in a trembling voice: "The little girl has something to ask for, and I beg the emperor to answer." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" The emperor looked at He Suyi curiously. He was now a little curious about what reward this clever girl wanted.
The people in the audience heard He Suoyi say that they had something to ask for, and guessed that she must have asked for gold and silver, and was knighted, and for a while everyone was disappointed in her, and everyone's faces had a look of disdain, and even the queen's expression was a little displeased. However, there were exceptions in the room.
Shen Huo carefully played with the wine glass in his hand, as if he had not heard of the things in the field.
He Suoyi took in the expressions of the people in the audience, she hooked her lips and smiled, and said slowly: "The little woman asked the emperor for a favor, and asked the emperor to allow the little woman to fulfill the wish of her younger brother He Chenwei and allow him to join the army." ”
After those people heard He Suoyi's request, they looked at He Suoyi with wide eyes one by one, and couldn't believe that she didn't ask for money and officials, just to let her younger brother join the army.
The emperor listened to He Suyi's request and laughed loudly: "Hahaha...... It's rare that you are affectionate and righteous, and you don't think about yourself, but ask for a favor for your younger brother. Okay, I'll promise you. ”
Hearing the emperor's promise with his own ears, the stone in He Suoyi's heart finally fell. She showed a knowing smile, Ah Yun, what my sister promised you will definitely do.
"Thank you for the Emperor's grace."
As long as he gets the emperor's holy decree, no matter how much his parents oppose it, they will not dare to besiege the holy decree.
Shen Huo looked at the woman in the field who was in the field with a measured advance and retreat and a firm gaze, revealing inadvertent tenderness.
He Nuanliang sneered in his heart when he heard He Suyi's request. She thought that she would have some requirements based on it, but she didn't expect it to be such a small request, which was really unproductive.
When Concubine Qin heard He Suyi's request, she was also quite disdainful in her heart.
She always felt that He Suoyi was a smart woman, but she didn't expect that she didn't find a way out for herself, but she fulfilled He Chenwei's wish. It's stupid!
He Suoyi felt the strong sarcastic gazes around him, and his heart was unmoved. She still straightened her spine, and stood quietly in the center of the room.
The current these, compared to the gossip she had in her previous life when she helped Gu Zhiheng seize the throne, are not worth mentioning at all.
The emperor looked at the woman who was calm and self-contained in the field, and his eyes showed a glint of appreciation. He had a vague feeling that this woman was not a thing in the pool!
"Okay, it's really worthy of being a female Zhuge , this courage is not inferior to a man!"
Gu Zhiheng saw that He Suoyi was praised by the emperor, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile: "Father, Miss He not only offers advice to control the water, but also cares about her brother, she can be said to be a woman with affection and righteousness. My father has always taught us to be virtuous people, and now that there is a good teacher in front of us, if my father does not reward her, how can we make the children obey the public? ”
When the emperor heard Gu Zhiheng's words, he laughed at the half-inch-long black beard: "Hahaha...... You kid, always fight back against me with the things I taught you. Having said that, there was no blame in his tone, and there was even a bit of pampering and helplessness.
Gu Zhiheng saluted unhurriedly: "The child doesn't dare." ”
"Yes, my reward! A thousand taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and five hundred pieces of silk......"
When He Suoyi heard the emperor's reward, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed his favor.
Although she just wanted to ask for a favor for Ah Yun, but now the emperor has given her extra kindness and rewarded her with a lot of things. Now that you've already rewarded it, don't let it be in vain. It just so happens that she is short of money now, and these rewards can just help her solve her urgent needs.
After Gu Zhiheng asked the emperor for a reward for He Suoyi, he stepped back and sat down in his place and continued to drink. He thought in his heart that this time he helped He Suoyi get a reward, and He Suoyi would definitely be grateful to him, and maybe he would have a good impression of him.
Gu Zhiheng forgot that these rewards were the credit of He Zhi's advice, and they were the rewards she deserved.
It was late at night after the banquet was over, and as soon as He Suoyi and the two returned home, Yahuan came to tell Su Chenwan that she wanted to see them.
Inside the Fuyu Hall.
"The child meets his mother."
"Get up." Su Chenwan looked at the two saluting people and nodded lightly. "Did anything happen to you when you entered the palace today?"
He Nuanliang stood up, walked to Su Chenwan's side with a smile on her face, and said to her, "Mother, today's eldest sister has been appreciated by the emperor and queen in the palace. ”
"Oh, is that really the case?" Su Chenwan turned her head sideways to look at He Suoyi and sat quietly.
"Yes, my sister is out of the limelight today, and even the Nine Emperors asked for a reward for the emperor for her sister."
"What? The Nine Emperors? What does it have to do with him. As soon as Su Chenwan heard about Gu Zhiheng, she was so nervous that she immediately turned her head to look at He Nuanliang.
"This ......" He Nuanliang seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and lowered his head to peek at He Zhiyi.
Su Chenwan saw that He Nuanliang didn't speak, and turned to look at He Suoyi with a pair of Danfeng eyes, her eyes cold: "Yi'er, you say." ”
He Suoyi drank tea for a moment, and sneered in his heart. I'm waiting for myself here!
At the banquet, she had already seen that He Nuanliang was already very dissatisfied with her, and on the way back, she thought she would lose her temper, but she didn't expect to hold it for so long, and now she made a move.
He Suoyi took a sip of tea under Su Chenwan's scorching gaze, and then slowly raised his head. When he looked up, he Nuanliang, who saw Su Chenwan behind him, had a provocative look in his eyes.
She smiled lightly and pretended not to see it, looked directly at Su Chenwan and said, "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with the Nine Emperor Princes, it's just that the emperor saw that I asked for a favor for my younger brother and gave me some rewards." If he really said that he wanted to have something to do with the Nine Emperor Princes, it should be that he reminded the emperor that he needed to reward me! I think my mother also knows that as a prince, sometimes you need to show your talents. ”
The implication of He Suoyi's words was to tell Su Chenwan that she had nothing to do with Gu Zhiheng, and everything that happened today was just that Gu Zhiheng wanted to use her to win favor in front of the emperor.
When Su Chenwan heard He Suoyi say that she had become someone else's pawn today, the doubts in her heart dissipated in an instant. He Suoyi is also her daughter no matter how she says, and now she has become someone else's pawn, how can she not be angry?
"It's good that nothing happens, and that doesn't happen again today." Su Chenwan looked at He Suoyi and nodded, her daughter really wouldn't let her down.
"Yes, the child obeys his mother's instructions." He Suoyi knew that Su Chenwan was referring to Gu Zhiheng's help today, and her mother wanted her not to have anything to do with Gu Zhiheng anymore.
"Well, just know." Seeing her daughter so obedient, Su Chenwan felt very relieved in her heart.
He Nuanliang watched He Suoyi from the side, and in just a few words, the relationship between her and Gu Zhiheng was completely wiped out, and she was neither happy nor worried. She liked that He Suoyi had no feelings for Gu Zhiheng, so that no one would rob her of the Nine Emperor Princes; What worries me is that I can't use this matter to separate the relationship between Su Chenwan and He Suoyi's mother and daughter in the future.
"Today, you are tired from entering the palace all day, so go back early and rest." Su Chen beckoned and sent the two away.
"Presumably my sister has long been tired, you better go back and rest first, I still have some things I want to discuss with my mother." He Suoyi looked at He Nuanliang with a smile, and his tone could not be refused.
"Yes, sister, you need to pay attention to your body." He Nuanliang smiled like a flower, looking very amiable, really like a good sister who was sympathetic to her sister.
He Nuanliang thought that He Suoyi let her go first because he was guarding against her. Thinking that He Suoyi's mother and son had to stay and whisper something every time, He Nuanliang was furious in his heart, but now he had to put on a gentle face at this time.
