Strange love across time and space
Chapter 82: Being granted the title of County Lord
Su Qing had no choice but to stand up reluctantly, walked to the front, and said with a salute, "My lord is here." The emperor said with a smile, "Su Qing, you gave me another surprise! This new type of refining Where did you learn about iron skills?" Although the emperor heard from King Jin that Su Qing had a dream about an immortal who told her about it, the emperor didn't believe it and had to ask Su Qing himself. The emperor thought that in front of civil and military officials, In front of hundreds of officials, Su Qing would definitely not tell such a ridiculous reason. Unexpectedly, Su Qing said without changing her face, "Back to the emperor, I once had a dream. I dreamed that a white-bearded fairy told me this method. It was not convenient for me to experiment, so I gave this method to His Highness Prince Jin. I didn't expect it to be successful, and the old god said that this new metal is not called iron, but steel." After hearing this, the emperor had a dark look on his face. It's okay if he doesn't want to tell the truth, as long as Su Qing is not against him. That’s it.
Then he smiled and said, "What a steel-making skill! King Jin said that you don't want any reward, but you have made such a contribution to our Yong'an Kingdom, and I have to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?" Su Qing looked at it. The emperor said calmly, "Your Majesty, my servant gave this steel-making skill to King Jin in order to allow our Yong'an soldiers to have fewer casualties when fighting against the enemy. Behind each soldier represents a family. They may be If a father, son, or husband dies in battle, their family will suffer for a lifetime. If there are fewer casualties, there will be less family pain. Furthermore, if every soldier in our country can have a steel With the sword, other countries will not dare to invade easily, and the people will not suffer from the war, and then they can live and work in peace and contentment. This is also a matter of accumulating virtue and blessing, so I do not want any reward!"
After hearing this, Cao Nan excitedly walked to Su Qing. If Su Qing were a man, Cao Nan would probably hold her hand now. Cao Nan offered his hand to Su Qing and was about to bend down to salute when Su Qing held him up. "What are you doing, General Cao? You want to defeat me!" Cao Nan stood up and said excitedly, "Miss Su's steel-making skills can at least make me angry." Our army's casualties were reduced by half when fighting the enemy. To be honest with Miss Su, my father also died in the war. After my father died, my mother was in tears all day long and was in great pain. Therefore, I can fully understand the feelings of the families of those soldiers who died. Miss Su has a great heart, and I am here to thank Miss Su on behalf of the border officers!" After saying that, he gave Su Qing a military salute. Su Qing's eyes became hot when she was told that, but she still responded with a salute and said, "General Cao's words are serious, I am not that great!"
Just when Cao Nan was about to say something else, the emperor interrupted them. The emperor said, "Okay, Su Qing, girl, if I don't reward you, then who will be willing to serve the court in the future? Su Qing listens." Su Qing hurriedly said. Kneeling down, the emperor continued, "Su Qixuan's daughter, Su Qing, has contributed to the art of steelmaking, benefited the country and the people, and is selfless. Su Qing is specially made the second-grade Ning'an County Princess. She will be rewarded with thousands of taels of silver, a hundred pieces of brocade, and two boxes of jewelry." . His father Su Qixuan taught his daughter well and was promoted to the second-rank cabinet governor, his mother Su Jiang was granted the title of third-rank imperial wife, and his brother Su Rui was promoted to the fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing!" Su Qixuan, Jiang and Su Rui heard the emperor say I had already stood up and knelt down next to Su Qing. After listening to the emperor's decree, the Su family collectively kowtowed to express gratitude! The emperor laughed loudly and asked them to get up and return to their seats, and said, "My dear friends, don't be jealous. If any of you can make a major contribution to the country and the people, I will not be stingy with the reward! The reason why I give Su Qing's family was all rewarded because I saw the Su family's loyalty to the court. Just imagine, if the Su family handed over this steel-making technology to another country, such a contribution would lead to the title of prime minister in other countries! However, the Su family No, not only did you give me the art of steelmaking, but you don’t ask for anything in return. How can I let down such a loyal family?" Everyone quickly stood up and knelt down and said in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!" The Emperor raised his hand and said "Everyone, get up! Today is the New Year. I am very happy to get such a good New Year gift!" He then said to Concubine Xian, "Concubine Xian, let the artists continue to perform. I am a little tired, so I will go back first. My dear friends, Have fun." After saying that, he left with the support of Eunuch Xi, and everyone said in unison, "Congratulations to the Emperor!"
After the emperor left, Concubine Xian asked people to play musical instruments to entertain everyone. Several ministers stood up and walked to Su Qixuan and Su Rui to toast them and congratulate them. At the female guests' table, some ladies also came to Su Qing and Jiang. Congratulations were said around the family. In their opinion, the Su family had caught the emperor's eye. They had been promoted twice in just six months. Their future prospects were unlimited, so they all came to fawn over them. For a while, the four members of the Su family were surrounded by people. It's overwhelming. King Jin watched Su Qing deal with everyone calmly, feeling happy for her but also a little disappointed. Xiao Yuhan looked at Su Qing who was being fawned over by everyone, holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand, wishing she could bite it into pieces with her silver teeth! She felt that it was thanks to Su Qing that she and the Duke's mansion were in this state. Although there was no real evidence, Xiao Yu felt this way. She swore that Su Qing and the Su family would pay the price!
The third prince, Zhao Lin'an, who was sitting in the prince's seat, looked at Su Qing with complicated eyes. He met the eyes of his mother, Concubine Shu, and nodded lightly. The fourth prince Zhao Linhan drank wine with a depressed look on his face.
After everyone had toasted to the Su family, the queen said, "Miss Su has a beautiful heart, and I like her very much. Mrs. Su and Miss Su will come to the palace more often to talk to me!" Jiang He and Su Qing stood up and saluted. Xiao Yuhan heard that the queen's aunt asked Su Qing Duoduo to enter the palace because she wanted to have a chance to deal with her, so she wanted Su Qing to make a fool of herself at the banquet first. She smiled proudly and said, "Miss Su is now the head of Ning'an County. Since the queen empress Everyone praises the County Lord for his good character and heart, but they don’t know if the County Lord is good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting? Let everyone witness the County Lord’s talent!”
The fourth prince was annoyed when he saw Xiao Yuhan. Seeing that she dared to challenge Su Qing in public, he even said angrily, "Miss Su's song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" won a lot of applause at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, which already shows that Miss Su's literary talent is outstanding. , is the eldest lady of the Duke's Palace suffering from amnesia?" Everyone couldn't help but snicker after hearing this. They all knew that Xiao Yuhan was arrogant and domineering, but since the queen fell out of favor, the Duke's Palace had not shown her face in front of others. They all thought that Xiao Yuhan So I changed my temperament, but I didn't expect that my true nature would remain the same. At this time, King Jin said, "Miss Xiao is so encouraging others to perform, why not perform it yourself first? After all, she is also the niece of the queen, so she will definitely be good at playing, playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting, right?"
