The legitimate daughter is reborn, her life is still with her

Xie Yuanfu frowned slightly, his eyes unconsciously drifting to Zhou Jiaqing from the moment he entered the palace, and when he saw her disgusted look, a hint of gloom appeared on his face.

"Gonggong Xu is here!"

When the father-in-law shouted in a high-pitched voice, the surrounding area suddenly became quiet, and no one cared to discuss the prince. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the entrance of the hall.

Not to mention that the female family members were blushing and excited, and even the princes were surprised that Duke Xu Guogong came to attend the palace banquet.

A man walked in from outside the door. He was dressed in jet black brocade clothes with rich gold embroidery, which made him look graceful and noble.

The man has an upright posture, a slightly pale handsome face, and a pair of sharp and deep black eyes that make people dare not look directly at him. His indifferent expression makes it even more difficult to get close to him.

After seeing Duke Xu's face clearly, the female family members turned around and stopped looking at the princes. This made the princes smile bitterly and helplessly. Wherever Xu Guogong was always present, the women's eyes would not stay on them.

It's not that they haven't tried to change this situation. Compared with appearance, talent, leading troops in battle, ministerial heart, power, even his father's love, Xu Guogong is better. After several failures, he can't repeat it again. Ran fighting spirit competed with Xu Guogong, so everyone was helpless at this moment.

The women secretly looked at the person who came in, suppressing the excitement in their hearts, for fear that their lack of reserve would disturb such a cold and noble person.

One woman in particular turned red just after hearing her father-in-law's message.

Until she saw Xu Jingxiao appear in the main hall, she fell into a sluggish state, and it seemed that she couldn't even hear her breathing. No matter how many times she saw Xu Jingxiao, this woman was still obsessed with his beauty and couldn't control herself!

After Xu Jingxiao came in, he briefly greeted the emperor and the empress and sat down next to Ji Chengfeng.

Her eyes were almost glued to Xu Jingxiao. When she heard Xu Jingxiao's voice of greeting, it became even more difficult to control herself. If the palace maid next to her hadn't held her down quietly, she would have stood up and faced Xu Jingxiao regardless of the occasion. Xiao walked away.

The emperor's eyes lit up almost imperceptibly after Xu Jingxiao came in!

Ji Chengfeng touched Xu Jingxiao next to him: "My lord, why are you here? Are you so worried about my work? You have also seen the evidence presented to me. It's okay. The emperor did not punish me and rewarded me so much." , look at this night pearl..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Xu Jingxiao interrupted lightly.

"Are you here to see..." Ji Chengfeng followed Xu Jingxiao's gaze and moved his eyebrows slightly.

"Shut up!"

Just as he was talking, the emperor began to prepare to reward the top three in the Pinghu Academy exam. For some reason, the emperor seemed to be in a good mood.

"First class Zhou Jiaqing, second class Yang Ming, and third class Meng Qihua from Pinghu Academy came forward to receive the award."

The three students whose names were called by their father-in-law stood up and came to the hall. They knelt down in front of the emperor and empress who were sitting high above them.

The male family members looked at each other at the banquet, each with their own thoughts, and the emperor personally rewarded them. Zhou Jiaqing and Meng Qihua were the legitimate daughters of Marquis Jing'an and Youshi Lang respectively. This time they were rewarded by the emperor personally, and they had both fame and status. It's easy to marry a prince.

And Yang Ming is the son of a wealthy businessman in Da'an City. He is talented and knowledgeable, has the ability and money, but what he lacks is his identity. If he joins his gang in the future, wouldn't it be a great help?

"Poor Xiyun is covered with bones, just like a person in a spring boudoir dream." In the main hall, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne looked thoughtfully at the girl kneeling below and said.

"Back to the emperor, I am terrified." Zhou Jiaqing lowered his head after hearing this.

This is what the emperor said when he mentioned the Pinghu Academy exam that day when Zhou Jiaqing won the first prize in the painting group.

The fourth prince's expression remained as calm as before, but the hand holding the tea cup unconsciously used a little more strength.

He glanced around at the ministers with different expressions in the palace. As an emperor, he could not forget that period of gloomy history, but some ministers had forgotten it!

However, the eldest daughter of Marquis Jing'an was already very smart. The words of this second daughter affected the thoughts of the nobles of Da'an. This was something he did not expect. Too much glory, wealth and prosperity would make the officials have thoughts they shouldn't have. That's fine. Taking this opportunity, some people should take a beating.

"Master Song, what do you think?" The emperor asked a courtier at the male family table with a smile.

impossible!

Xie Yuanfu was excited, and out of the corner of his eye he followed Master Song, who was chosen by the emperor.

The gentle smile of the king of the country made Song Yuhe feel a little cold for no reason. Song Yuhe stood up and came to the palace, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty... Weichen, Weichen thinks what Miss Zhou said is very good."

"What do you think is good about it, Mr. Song?"

Song Yuhe was in a state of confusion. He still didn't understand why the emperor suddenly favored him. Naturally, he couldn't say bad things about the battle of defeating Xiyun Kingdom. He could only say some high-sounding words, "Back to the emperor, Miss Zhou can do it with just one painting." I explained that battle clearly to the students of our dynasty. At that time, the people of Xiyun secretly and brutally killed the women of the Eastern Qin Dynasty. As a last resort, our dynasty sent troops to destroy the country. The poor souls of the deceased could not return to their hometown. However, Miss Zhou was kind and represented them in the scroll. Paint a small tomb to worship them and comfort their souls."

The emperor sneered, "Yuanyasu, what do you say?"

The emperor glanced at everyone in the palace and focused on the man who seemed as calm as ever, but he asked the second prince.

Xie Yuankang had been with the emperor for the longest time and could guess the Sacred Heart. He knew in his heart that the emperor valued General Zhao, so he followed the words and replied: "Back to my father, I think what Miss Zhou said is very reasonable. General An Yuan After putting an end to the cruel behavior of the Xiyun people, the people of the Eastern Qin Dynasty now live and work in peace and contentment. In the past ten years, General Zhao has suffered too much infamy, and it is really difficult to live up to the souls who died in that battle, my minister. Dare to stand up for General Anyuan..."

"Okay, General Anyuan's contribution is indispensable. This is indelible!" The emperor stopped what Xie Yuankang wanted to say. This second son was the most tactful. In just a few words, he wanted to take the credit for himself and let General Anyuan remember it. Keep his favor.

After a moment of silence, the emperor continued: "The Xiyun Kingdom is extremely abominable. In this case, it is my decree that every household in the future Qingming Festival will mourn the souls of the dead who died for the country, as well as the women who sacrificed for no reason. This can be considered as comfort. Their spirits in heaven.”

As soon as these words came out, the aristocratic family sitting in the main hall were secretly happy. From now on, they could mourn their family members openly.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Father is wise!"

The emperor and his ministers enjoyed themselves together, but the emperor never mentioned General Anyuan again.

The expressions of several ministers also changed a little, but they couldn't figure out what the emperor meant. He acknowledged General Anyuan's contribution but did not give him any reward. What was the meaning of this?
