How to Be a Male Queen

Chapter 16: February 2 Rewards

[Stupid people always have stupid blessings]

Jingchen Palace.

Concubine Chen was wearing a pastel-pink light gown with gorgeous makeup, while pinching the emperor's shoulders, she sighed softly, full of worry.

The emperor turned his head to look at her, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with Aifei? Could it be that I'm not welcome to Jingchen Palace?"

Concubine Chen's body trembled, and she pleaded guilty on the ground in a panic, "This concubine deserves to die!"

There was a smile in the emperor's eyes, and there was a bit of warmth in his majestic voice, "What should you die or not? I just asked casually. It seems to scare you. Get up."

Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and cautiously approached the emperor, lying softly on his lap, and said softly: "The concubine can't hide things in her heart, and your majesty misunderstood."

The emperor loves to come to Jingchen Palace because he likes Concubine Chen Xiaoyi's gentle temperament.Now Concubine Chen's behavior made him feel even more pity.

"Tell me, you have to keep something in your heart."

"This..." Concubine Chen raised her watery eyes and quietly looked at Jinshang, as if very hesitant.

"Is there anything else you can't tell me?" the emperor asked patiently.

Concubine Chen bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind, she opened her mouth and said, "The concubine just came back from the queen's sister, and when she passed by the South Garden, she happened to hear two little maids whispering under the wall."

"What did they say?"

"They said... His Royal Highness was instigated by the young son of the Jian family, and spent a lot of money to buy a barren hill where the grass didn't grow. Return, return..."

"How about it?"

"I also asked someone to adjust the gunpowder in the arsenal and blow up the mountain that I just bought..." Concubine Chen quietly observed the emperor's face, her tone full of worry, "The concubine asked someone to scold those two who don't understand A well-behaved little slave, but his heart is always restless."

Concubine Chen rubbed Wusi on her chest, and said indignantly: "If this rumor is true, that young son of the Jian family is too hateful!"

Hearing these words, the emperor's cloudy eyes flashed with unclear meaning. He smiled and patted Concubine Chen's shoulder, and said warmly: "My concubine, please rest!"

With that said, he got up and walked out of the hall.

Concubine Chen hurriedly followed for two steps, and asked in surprise: "Your Majesty won't stay today?"

"No more." The emperor said without looking back.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Concubine Chen's tender voice was full of reluctance.

However, when she raised her head, her eyes were obviously full of smiles.

The female officer behind her waved away the crowd, leaned in front of her, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I don't understand, why do you want to push the matter to Jian Xiaoshizi?"

Concubine Chen is in a good mood and doesn't mind explaining her doubts, "Firstly, I can cut off the support of the Jian family; secondly, as a concubine, how can I talk about the crown prince? All I do is 'care'. More What's more, even if I don't say a word, won't His Majesty think about it? The dignified prince, who was bewitched by a mere apprentice, or doing it himself, which one will make His Majesty more angry?"

The female officer showed an educated look, and complimented: "His Royal Highness, the Second Prince has his mother planning for him, and the future is truly limitless."

When Concubine Chen heard this, an imperceptible smug look flashed across her face.

The emperor didn't think about why such an important matter would come out of the mouth of two little maids, nor why it happened that Concubine Chen heard it, and he didn't think about the empress's palace wall that Concubine Chen specifically mentioned in her mouth.

When he returned to Chengxuan Hall, the expression on his face was still calm.

However, when Qin Xiang stepped into the gate of the palace, he quickly put on an angry look, and even threw away the paperweight at hand in annoyance, "You don't know the heights of the sky, I only know that you ran to Prince Ping's mansion was sent to his death, but he didn't know that you even ordered gunpowder to blow up the mountain, which is really a great skill!"

Qin Xiang knelt down on the ground with a plop, neither dodging nor dodging, letting the heavy paperweight hit his back harshly.

"Father calm down, there is a reason for my son to do that!"

"Oh? What's the reason? I want to hear what you said today." Although the emperor was smiling, his eyes were full of anger.

Qin Xiang looked up, then quickly lowered his head, his tone could not hide his excitement, "Father, there is a possibility that there is a gold mine buried under that mountain!"

The emperor subconsciously sat up straight, staring at Qin Xiang with yellow eyes, "What did you say?"

"I haven't seen it myself, but what is certain is that the gravel sent by the people below is mixed with gold powder, and there is very likely a golden vein there!"

The emperor stood up abruptly and raised his voice, "Come on—"

***

Things turned out beyond everyone's expectations.

Concubine Chen of Jingchen Palace was leaning on the imperial couch, waiting happily for His Highness the Crown Prince to be reprimanded or even grounded. Unexpectedly, the news came that the Emperor dispatched [-] imperial guards and ordered the Crown Prince to rush to Xishan.

The Queen of Jingren Palace teased the cat and waited unhurriedly to see the jokes on both sides. In the end, she really let her watch.

——That bitch in Jingchen Palace is probably going crazy?The life of the second child must be difficult!

——If you are not comfortable, I will be comfortable.

A gold mine has been dug in the north of Xishan!

At least enough to cover the expenses of the four defenders of the border for ten years!

Even though the emperor was strictly on guard, the news spread like wings.

The emperor simply made it public in the court hall and rewarded him for his merits.

Needless to say, Qin Xiang, all kinds of real and imaginary rewards gave him a lot of attention, and His Highness the Crown Prince didn't close his mouth for a whole month.

Some people also wonder, Xishan Racecourse has been built for hundreds of years, why Piansheng discovered the ore vein on that day?

Qin Tianjian sees the wind and turns the rudder, saying that the prince's companions are well chosen, the five elements are born together, and the fate is in harmony, which is a sign of prosperity - that day the three companions accompanied the prince on a horse race, and that night a gold mine exploded. More than enough to prove it.

Anyway, it is a good word, whether it is the emperor or the crown prince, they all keep it together.As a result, Jian Hao, Li Shu, and An Muxi also received awards.

The emperor was probably a bit stingy, and what he gave were all built-in things that could not be bought or sold. It was a great honor for officials and officials to get even one, and they even had to use incense tables as offerings, and passed them down as family heirlooms from generation to generation.

However, for Jian Xiaoshi who doesn't have much "loyalty to the emperor" in his mind, these four treasures of the study, antique calligraphy and paintings... are really useless!

Seeing that he was not happy, Qin Xiang specially added a box of gold ingots to him.

Jian Hao looked at the shiny big ingot box, and resolutely passed on the emperor's reward to Li Shu—otherwise he would have to move back home, which is very strange.

But Li Shu was so happy that he kept hugging Jian Hao and said, "Brother Jian, you are so kind to me!"

Jian Hao was holding a gold ingot in his hand, and a big pear was hanging on his body, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

An Muxi put away his sword and war book, and stayed away from these two psychopaths, for fear of being infected.

At the same time, the atmosphere in Prince Ping's Mansion was not very good.

Qin Laojiu slapped the long sword on the table angrily, and said in a muffled voice, "Why did he find the gold mine? God has no eyes!"

Lin Mingzhi also lost his usual smile on his face, and pondered: "I'm more curious about how the gold is going to be used."

Gu Feibai showed a sarcastic smile, "No matter how you use it, it won't be our Lingnan Army's turn."

The three of you came and talked to each other for several times, only to realize that Qin Yuan seemed to be... distracted.

At this moment, Qin Yuan couldn't help thinking of what happened that day.

Xiao Shizi suddenly fell into a coma, and then regained consciousness inexplicably.

He clearly remembered that the little guy said to him, "Do you want to buy it?" "Don't regret it"...

Could it be... he already knew something?

If the news is correct, it is undoubtedly his first visit to Xishan Racecourse.

Just when the three of them deliberately slowed down their breathing, for fear of disturbing his thinking, His Highness Prince Ping suddenly asked: "Is there anyone who can really see ghosts and gods?"

When Qin Laojiu and Gu Fei heard such a sentence, they couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.

Lin Mingzhi replied quite seriously: "There is a saying in the Buddha's words: In the vast world, there are nine mountains and eight seas. I personally think that the four seas are so big that I don't know if there are such capable people."

Qin Laojiu scratched his head, but didn't understand.

Gu Feibai asked with great interest, "Sir, when did you start practicing Buddhism?"

"It's not about practice, just know a thing or two." Lin Mingzhi said modestly.

Gu Feibai thought of something from this, and curled his lips in disdain, "Recently, the profound way is very popular, in the final analysis, it is still effective."

Qin Laojiu was finally able to intervene, "What's so good about being immortal? You practice alchemy all day long, and you have to build a palace just to make alchemy. What a fool!"

Gu Feibai knocked him on the head with the scabbard, "You are stupid, the more faint he is, the better for us."

Qin Laojiu chuckled twice, "That's right, let's practice, let's practice, and eat him to death one day, it will save us trouble!"

Lin Mingzhi returned to his usual smiling appearance.

Qin Yuan's complexion has not been very good.
