Chapter 91 The Emperor's Reward
Fortunately, he did not hurt his muscles and bones. Zhu Gaosui was in his prime. After resting for half a month in Xining, his injury has improved greatly. By the time he returned to Beijing in mid-September, his body had recovered and only left a scar the size of a copper coin where he was injured.
On the second day, in the early morning, the emperor ordered Xuan Qiaoyu to enter the palace to meet. After Qiaoyu received the order, she was ready to stop and enter the palace in less than half an hour and wait outside the hall. Zhu Di received the report and issued an order to announce Qiaoyu to enter the hall, and the ministers in the hall were shocked. Zhu Gaoshuai knelt on his knees to thank Qiaoyu. This is the second woman to enter the Taihe Hall since Zhu Di ascended the throne. The first is the Virgin of Zhu Gaoshuai, when the queen is crowned. This undoubtedly shows Zhu Di's favor for his third prince Zhu Gaosui.
Outside the Taihe Hall, Qiaoyu knelt down to listen to Lu Sheng's decree and kowtowed in shock. Lu Sheng waited for Qiaoyu to stand up and whispered with a smile, "Little master, please enter the hall with your family."
"There is a father-in-law to lead the way!"
Qiaoyu was led by Lusheng, lowered his head, stepped over the high threshold of Taihe Hall, and generously walked into the hall, which symbolized the highest power. Facing the amazing and envious eyes, Qiaoyu quietly walked through the ministers of literature and martial arts on both sides. I didn't stop until I got to the position of shoulder to shoulder with Zhu Gaosui. Lu Sheng saluted Zhu Gaosui and Qiaoyu, and then walked back to Zhu Di. Qiao Yu peeked back and looked at Zhu Gaosui's hot eyes. He quickly withdrew his eyes and blushed.
After a short pause and calming his mind, he knelt on his knees respectfully and said loudly, "Bile concubine Yan's Qiaoyu, see the emperor. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Yan's flat body!"
"Thank you, Emperor!" Qiaoyu thanked him and stood up steadily. Because the distance is too far, I can't see Zhu Di sitting on the dragon chair. I can only see a bright yellow high above.
Prince Zhu Gaochi appeared in the list, "I want to show my father that this time I captured the traitor Song Hu alive, and the Yan family should remember the first merit. My father has always been a person with clear rewards and punishments. This time, he should reward Yan.
"The prince is right! Yan was able to save King Zhao regardless of his safety, and came up with a clever plan to reveal Song Hu's whereabouts. I should give a good reward to Yan!" Zhu Di smiled and asked Qiaoyu, "Yan, how do you want me to reward you?"
After listening to Zhu Di's question, Qiao Yu answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, the cheap concubine is the prince's person, and it is the job of the concubine to protect the prince. I only hope that the country and the people will be safe, and the country will last forever!"
"Good! OK! It's not easy for Yan to have such insight!" Zhu Dilang asked, "Where is the Duke of Guizhou?"
When Qiao Yu heard the three words "Duke of Guizhou", she raised her head and looked at the high-ranking Zhu Di in surprise. Qiao Yu didn't expect that after more than ten years of separation from his father, the reunion of the father and daughter was in the Taihe Hall. Joy, excitement, nervousness, surprise, there are five flavors in my heart for a while. Zhu Gaoswa took Qiaoyu's cold hand from the sleeve of his robe. Qiaoyu quickly lowered her head again, held her breath and listened carefully to the movement behind her.
"Your Majesty, I'm there!" Mu Sheng responded and came out.
The dreamy voice of my mother came from behind. Qiaoyu tried her best to restrain herself from tears.
"Duke, in your opinion, how should I reward Yan?"
Mu Sheng looked at Qiaoyu's back emotionally and was extremely excited. I haven't seen her for more than ten years. Yuer has grown up and now has received such a great grace. Yuer, although you don't know what you want most now, what you want for your father will definitely make you satisfactory. Thinking of this, Mu Sheng replied respectfully, "I want to inform you that Mr. Yan has been away from home for a long time. If the emperor can issue an order, he will order Yan to go home to save his relatives. It is a great reward for Yan, and it can also show your kindness to your ministers. I don't know what the emperor is doing?"
"The Duke really understands my heart! Hahaha!" Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair and laughed loudly. OK, it's according to the state! Yan's contribution to suppressing the rebellion was escorted by the King of Zhao and went home to save his relatives. The king of Zhao was injured and captured the enemy. He rewarded Yu Ruyi and two beauties.
Zhu Gaosui and Qiao Yu, who were about to kowtow to thank her, were stunned and looked at each other doubtfully. Both of them couldn't believe their ears.
Zhu Di's majestic voice came from above his head, "Don't you thank me?"
"Thank you for your reward! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The two of them dared not attack.
"Hmm! Get up!" Zhu Di looked at the officials below with satisfaction and thought to himself, silly boy, my father is helping you.
Zhu Gaoshuai took over the tray handed over by the little eunuch. He stood up with a bitter face and lowered his head to dare not look at the emperor. Qiaoyu stood aside, with no look of excitement on her face.
Lu Sheng's shrill voice sounded, "Retired!"
When the emperor turned behind the screen, the officials came forward to congratulate Zhu Gaoswa. Zhu Gaoshua had to deal with it with a smile. Qiaoyu stood behind Zhu Gaoshou and squeezed out a smile. Everyone knows who is the worst now. In front of himself, he rewarded the two beauties of the prince. Obviously, he wanted to give Qiaoyu a majesty! The prince said a few words of congratulations and left.
When the people left, Zhu Gaoshuai held the tray in his hands and walked out of the hall angrily. Qiaoyu followed out in silence, stopped and raised her head and looked around. Mu Sheng was not there. Qiaoyu walked a few steps in disappointment and followed Zhu Gaosuan.
Out of the palace gate and sitting in the carriage, Zhu Gaosumi was still angry, holding Qiao Yu and said childishly, "No matter how many beauties I give me, I won't touch it. I just want my jade."
Qiao Yu was amused by Zhu Gaosuo's expression, "Brother Sui, although I don't know the emperor's intention. But I'm sure that the emperor is thinking about us.
"Yuer, my father rewarded me with two beauties. Do you mean to let me accept those two people? Zhu Gaoshua was also very dissatisfied with Qiaoyu's attitude.
Qiao Yu turned around and put his arms around Zhu Gaosao's neck and said angrily, "Brother Sui, don't talk nonsense! You are my own, and no one else is allowed to touch it!"
Both of them looked at each other angrily. After a while, they laughed at the same time.
"Good! OK! I just want you, no matter how beautiful others are, I won't touch them. Send them all to the royal palace to accompany Tingjuan, okay?"
Hearing Zhu Gaosao mention the royal palace, Qiao Yu suddenly understood and said with a smile, "So that's it! I see!"
"Little bad guy, what do you understand? Come and listen to it!"
Qiaoyu said, "It's very simple! If there are other women in the royal palace, people's eyes will be diverted from the princess.
Zhu Gaosuan lowered her head and pondered, "With the two beauties who have not served me, Tingjuan's loss of favor will be diluted. People always like to talk about people with more topics. Is that so?"
Qiaoyu nodded awkwardly. Although she has been deliberately avoiding the word "losing favor", this is indeed a fact, because because her aunt has fallen out of favor.
Zhu Gaoshua hugged Qiaoyu tightly, "It's still my father's thoughtful."
Qiao Yu was happy again when she saw Zhu Gao Sui. Although she wanted to ask about her father, she still couldn't bear to mention it after thinking about it.
