At this time, I heard Su Qing say, "Although I can't remember the past, I feel guilty when I see my family working hard for me. I know that my family is not well off and I can't make money, so I can only be more frugal." , I didn’t expect that dressing like this would stain the emperor’s eyes, so please forgive me!” After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed.

Seeing the truth of what she said, the emperor suddenly felt that he should not comment on Su Qing's clothes. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He thought, today he is going to give Su Qing a reward. Why did he make the little girl cry? So he made a clear decision. He said in his voice, "Su Qing, hurry up! I don't mean to look down on you. Since you have saved my life, I must reward you. Since you don't want it yourself, I will give it to you." Look Su Qing stood up with his head lowered and said, "Let's see. Su Qixuan has been the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple for many years, and he is indeed honest. I will promote Su Qixuan to the rank of third-rank imperial censor of Zuodu of the Duchayuan. Su Rui will be appointed as the fifth-rank doctor of the household department." In addition, I heard from Eunuch Fu that your house is too small. Since your father is already a third-grade official, it is not suitable for him to live in such a small house anymore. I will give your family a larger house and give Su You have a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of brocade. Su Qing, do you think this is good?"

Su Qing's heart almost jumped out of her chest at this time. This was a big fortune! She quickly knelt down and kowtowed again, "My maid, thank you! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" She felt that she was sincerely kowtowing!

The emperor laughed, "You clever girl, I asked you what you wanted, but you didn't tell me, and you had to let me reward you myself. Are you afraid that you will be short of it! Hahaha..." After finishing speaking, I felt Being thirsty, I picked up the tea and drank it.

Su Qing looked at the emperor sheepishly and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

"Pfft!" The emperor couldn't hold it back after hearing what she said, and the tea spurted out. Fortunately, Su Qing was far away so he didn't get sprayed all over him. Eunuch Xi quickly wiped the emperor's mouth with a handkerchief. Zhao Linyuan next to him almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Looking at the servants standing in the room, all of them lowered their heads and shrugged their shoulders.

The emperor wiped his mouth, pointed at Su Qing and said, "You girl's mouth is quite humorous! Okay, go down, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink this tea if you are here. By the afternoon, my imperial edict and The reward will be sent to the house, congratulations, you go and send it to her." Su Qing quickly bowed and left in embarrassment, and followed Eunuch Xi out. The emperor said to Zhao Linyuan again, "Yuan'er, please step aside." Zhao Linyuan was stunned. You asked me here just to treat me as a commodity. You just sent me away before the girl took your fancy? But he didn't dare to say that, so he had to bow and leave.

After leaving the imperial study room, Zhao Linyuan saw Su Qing and Eunuch Xi walking in front of him, and felt unwilling to do so. In the past, when other girls saw him, they would either look at him with flirtatious looks or smile shyly, and they were all first-class officials and emperors. She is a relative of the country, and this Su Qing is just the daughter of a fourth-rank official. Not only does she ignore her, but she also directly refuses to marry her. In fact, he doesn't want to marry her, but he is disliked by a little girl. Doesn't he want to lose face? ? Zhao Linyuan himself didn't know why he felt this way, so he wanted to ask Su Qing why he disliked him, so he shouted from behind, "Miss Su, please stay!" Seeing that the two people in front stopped and turned around to look. He strode up. Eunuch Xi and Su Qing saluted Zhao Linyuan at the same time. Zhao Linyuan supported him and said to Eunuch Xi, "Eunuch Xi, please go back and serve your father. I, the prince, will escort Miss Su out of the palace." Eunuch Xi looked at it. The two of them smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Second Prince. I will resign."

After Eunuch Xi left, Zhao Linyuan made a gesture of invitation, and Su Qing followed him to the palace gate. As Su Qing walked, she was immersed in the joy of receiving the reward, completely unaware that the man next to her was hesitant to speak. Zhao Linyuan wanted to ask Su Qing directly why he disliked him, but felt that it was inappropriate to ask directly, so he said, "It turns out that my father's savior was Miss Su. I heard that the young lady saved my father and empress that day. My father wanted to repay the favor, but she refused." , Miss Su saves people's lives without expecting anything in return. She is really a role model among women. I admire you!" Su Qing's joy was interrupted, but because the person next to her was a prince, her father had just given her so many rewards. I had better be polite, so I put a professional smile on my face and replied, "The second prince is very grateful. My daughter is just doing a little work and cannot be a role model. What's more, the emperor rewards me generously, and I am very grateful."

Zhao Linyuan saw that Su Qing looked completely different from the way she had just talked to the emperor in the imperial study. He was puzzled. The more puzzled he became, the more he wanted to explore. He asked again, "The house my father gave to the Su family, I don't know. Miss Su." When do you and your family plan to move in? At that time, I, the prince, can go and congratulate you on the move and the two Masters Su on their promotion." Su Qing continued to reply with an unchanging expression, "I don't understand the matter of the move. You should check the almanac. Well." Zhao Linyuan was still waiting for Su Qing to continue saying welcome to him, but Su Qing didn't say anything. Zhao Linyuan was a little angry, but he also doubted whether his warning was not enough. When I was still looking for something to talk about, I saw that the palace gate was about to arrive.

Phantom was sitting on the edge of the carriage, playing with the riding whip in boredom. He turned around and saw Su Qing and a man walking from a distance. He quickly jumped out of the carriage and stood behind Jiang. At this time, Jiang also saw his daughter's mood. Excited, I couldn't help but clenched the handkerchief in my hand. When I saw my daughter's energetic expression, I felt relieved. Su Qing also saw her family outside the palace gate. At this moment, she really wanted to run out and hug Mrs. Jiang and tell her that our family has made a fortune! But she still had to take into account that this was a palace, and there was the emperor's son beside her, so she couldn't embarrass the Su family. She walked patiently to Jiang and introduced, "Mom, this is the second prince." Jiang noticed this man before her daughter even came near. Looking at his extraordinary appearance, she knew he was definitely not a mortal, so she felt that he was not a mortal. The noble son of the family is the imperial guard in the palace, but he didn't expect that the second prince would send his daughter out of the palace directly. He quickly saluted, "My wife Su Jiang has seen the second prince!" Zhao Linyuan quickly supported him and said, "Mrs. Su, there is no need to be polite. ." Behind Jiang, Mother Lin and Qingzhu quickly knelt down to salute. Phantom glanced at Zhao Linyuan with cold eyes, and saw Su Qing calmly nodding at him, so she had to salute reluctantly, but there was no Kneel down, just give your hands. Zhao Linyuan had long seen the phantom standing out among the chickens, and also noticed the way he looked at him. In addition, he did not bow to him when he saw him at this moment. He looked at Su Qing, his eyes were filled with a hint of unknown meaning, and he said nothing. Let everyone be free of gifts. Then he said to Mr. Jiang, "When will the Su family set a date for relocation? Please send an invitation to this prince. I will definitely come to congratulate you then." After that, he turned around and returned to the palace.

Jiang looked at Zhao Linyuan's retreating back in confusion and asked Su Qing, "Qingqing, what did the second prince mean by just now? What is relocation? Where to move to?" Su Qing took her hand and said, "Mom, let's go home. Say it again."

As soon as they returned home, they saw Su Qixuan and Su Rui coming out in a hurry. It turned out that when they came back at noon, they saw Jiang's mother and daughter not at home. After asking, they found out that they had entered the palace. Su Qixuan and his son didn't know why, and they were afraid of something happening, so they went there. He decided to go into the palace to look for the two of them. Now he saw that the mother and daughter had returned intact, and felt a little at ease. Back in the main hall, the servants had already put lunch on the table. Su Qixuan and his son were not in the mood to eat, so they quickly asked what happened. Everyone sat down next to Su Qing first, and then told them everything about what happened. After Su Qixuan and the others listened, their mouths opened wide. Jiang was the first to react and blame him, "Why didn't you tell me that you saved the emperor when you came back that day? Did you just hide such a big thing?" Su Qing said aggrievedly, "I I thought it was just a small thing and not worth mentioning, and who knew he was the emperor!" Su Qixuan and Su Rui didn't realize at this moment that they had been promoted! I still have the glory of Su Qing! I was happy but felt ashamed at the same time. Su Rui couldn't help but said, "I didn't expect that my brother would have to rely on his sister for his promotion. I feel so ashamed!" Su Qixuan also said excitedly, "I thought my official career would stop here. I didn't expect that my daughter would be able to support me." May you continue to be blessed." Seeing that the two of them were not happy about his promotion, but felt guilty, Su Qing comforted him and said, "In fact, with the talents of my father and brother, they should have been promoted a long time ago. It's just that there was no chance, even the emperor Today I even praised my father for being honest and dedicated to the public affairs!"

When Su Qixuan heard this, he asked Su Qing excitedly, "Is it true? The emperor really appreciated me?" Su Qing saw that his father was finally happy and said, "How could my daughter lie to you? This is a serious crime of falsely passing on oral instructions!" Su Qixuan was so excited that he burst into tears. Jiang quickly said, "Okay! No matter what the promotion is, it is a great event for our family! Didn't Qingqing say that a eunuch with a message will come over in the afternoon? Let's eat quickly. Only when you are full can you be energetic and take orders!" Everyone hurried to eat. The meal was full of mixed flavors and mixed feelings. Even after finishing the meal, they still didn't know what the food tasted like.

At the end of the day, someone came to the palace, and it was Eunuch Xi who came. Su Qixuan had met Eunuch Xi. This was the chief eunuch, a famous man who could speak well in front of the emperor. He hurried up to see Eunuch Xi. , Eunuch Xi quickly grabbed him and said, "My lord, you are going to hurt this old slave. You are an official, and this old slave is a slave. How can an official salute a slave?" After saying this, he saluted Su Qixuan. He then said, "Master Su, the Emperor has an edict, let's accept it first." Su Qixuan led everyone to kneel down to receive the edict. After Eunuch Xi finished reading the imperial edict and Su Qixuan kowtowed to accept it, Mrs. Jiang came over and stuffed a piece of silver into Eunuch Xi's hand. Eunuch Xi quickly pushed it back and said, "I don't dare to accept Mrs. Su's reward. Miss Su has some respect for the emperor." It’s a life-saving grace. If the emperor knows that the old slave accepted the reward from the Su family, he will have to skin him when he returns."
