Xi Jiu Er entering the palace to receive rewards left everyone stunned. Strange, what rewards would she bestow, what rewards would she bestow? At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the imperial government had yet to give her an explanation on how Xi Jiu Er cured the smallpox. It had already been almost half a year, the reward really made one feel that it was worth it.

The news of Xi Hong Sheng wearing a green hat had already spread through the streets and alleys. Not only did the person raise his own son for so many years, he even treated his wife's lover as a good brother. For a moment, everyone was saying that Xi Hong Sheng was extremely foolish.

It could be said that the Xi Family was a mess due to the miasma. The first talented girl had ruined her face, and she was not the prettiest girl in the world. Her reputation was not as great as it was in the past. And the son of the direct descendant of the Xi Family? Since Xi Mao was not Xi Hong Sheng's biological son, the fact that she had lost 70,000 silver to the fighting cricket was something to be kept in the dark.

As for Xi Wu Er, who had gotten married a few months ago, his days were not good after hearing about it. There was a time when Madame invited her to a feast and found that her body was covered with bruises, as well as shallow and deep fingerprints.

The only one who didn't have any messy information was Xi Jiu Er, who gave off a very comfortable and friendly feeling. She was well-versed in manners and received the praise of many Madame. Calculating the reputation of Xi Jiu Er's children, it could be said that she did not fix the ancestors' graves, and only then was she able to bring up these children of her!

At this time, Xi Jiu Er entered the palace to bestow rewards, causing the defeated Xi Mansion to see a halo of hope! On this day, after Xi Jiu Er was properly dressed and paid respects to the old Madame, the old Madame said with tears in her eyes, "Child, you have to be careful in everything you do. Remember not to piss His Majesty off or else no one will be able to save you from whatever happens, do you know?" Although it seemed as if she cared a lot about her granddaughter, Xi Jiu Er knew that it was just to make sure that she did not make any mistakes.

"Once she knows about Grandmother, her granddaughter will definitely act with caution." Xi Jiu Er said indifferently.

"Right." Old Madame was worried, but seeing Xi Jiu Er's calm face, she did not seem to be afraid of her.

Third Wife was also a little terrified. It was said that a little carelessness could cause a calamity to his family. The Third Wife said softly, "Miss Jiu Er, I've already asked my father's people to make some preparations in the palace. If there's anything else, you can go find esteemed Empress Su. "It's not a favor, but the master of the palace …" Empress Su was the first woman His Majesty had chosen for the first round of concubines. It had been many years since she'd won a favor.

Xi Jiu Er was slightly moved by the relationship the Third Wife had with him. That was because she was truly concerned about her and couldn't fake it. Her heart grew excited, "Don't worry Third Wife, I will be careful."

"Mm, Wei Guogong will also protect you for a bit. Moreover, His Majesty gave you a reward this time. Did he say he was punishing you?" The old Madame said, "It's getting late, let's go."

ex-sister-in-law had once said that if she could help her take revenge, then her enemy would be Tian Jia. Now that she thought about it, she had been too naive back then. However, since it was something she had agreed to, it was more important that she think of a way to do it. After about half an hour's journey, they could see the towering glazed palace!

Creak creak - The thick and heavy palace doors opened with a creaking sound. The first palace door had already been opened, then the second palace door, the third palace door! Finally, Liu Shui helped Xi Jiu Er up the long corridor, and at the end of the corridor was the place where the imperial edict was read out.

The palace was huge, and not every place was guarded. Only after passing through the corridor did he see the silhouette of a person. A white-masked man dressed in eunuch robes asked: "Is this the Xi Family, Miss?"

"It's really Jiu Er." Xi Jiu Er bowed towards the eunuch, and the eunuch smiled: "Miss Jiu Er, follow me inside, His Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study."

"Thank you for your troubles, Eunuch!" Xi Jiu Er gave Liu Shui a meaningful glance, and Liu Shui took out two banknotes worth five hundred gold and gave it to him.

"These are for eunuchs to sleep in, I hope that eunuch does not mind Jiu Er's little intentions." Xi Jiu Er's face was as calm as water, her voice was pleasant to the ear like spring water, and the Lotus Root Starlight Dress made her skin especially tender. She thought to himself, "What a unique woman."

Hehe, Miss Jiu Er, please follow me. The eunuch laughed.

All along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs would always call him Eunuch Hai, which seemed to have a very high status. Xi Jiu Er followed Eunuch Hai to the royal study! The imperial study was not big, Xi Jiu Er took a quick glance and lowered her head.

The man clad in a bright yellow robe was currently reading the memorial. The Eunuch Hai said softly, "Your Majesty, this servant has brought Miss Jiu Er."

"Hm." A simple word, low and powerful. As if possessed by an inconceivable magic power, Xi Jiu Er raised her head and coincidentally saw the sky: It was the face of a handsome man who did not lose his dignity. About 20 years old. Her eyebrows were like that of a phoenix, and her nose was peaked with thin lips. It was truly a memorable sight to behold.

"Eunuch Hai, read the imperial edict." Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge said indifferently.

"Yes." Eunuch Hai walked in front of the table and found a red gold silk book, opened his mouth and sang, "On the day of the Emperor's Mandate, the Xi Empire's Jiu Er has bestowed meritorious service to the empire, saving the citizens in the fire and water. We hereby reward you with ten thousand silver taels, five thousand gold taels, five good brocade and Su embroidery, and also a mansion in the east suburbs. Gift: Princess Laifu - Tribute. "

Xi Jiu Er knelt down and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, my Emperor." Princess Laifu? Do you think she's a dog?

Eunuch Hai handed the imperial edict to a young eunuch at the side, who started singing it loudly outside the imperial study. Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge said indifferently: "All of you can leave, I would like to speak with Princess Laifu."

"Yes." When the people from Eunuch Hai left, Liu Shui looked worriedly at Xi Jiu Er and followed along.

Xi Jiu Er lowered her head and waited for Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's reply. Waiting, waiting, waiting, a man's pair of black boots suddenly appeared in front of him. The boots were embroidered with the yellow pattern of two dragons playing with pearls. Don't even mention it, the embroidery of the lady in the palace was really beautiful. It was so beautiful!

Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge stood in front of Xi Jiu Er for the majority of the day, but then he realised that this woman was only lowering her head and did not speak. After half a day, he could not help but ask: "What are you doing?"

"Studying these two dragon opera pearls, don't even mention how good one's embroidery is." Xi Jiu Er said very seriously. Suddenly, she heard a few laughs above her head. Only then did she realize where she was.

"Xi Jiu Er, you are truly bold, we are standing in front of you and you actually dare to study that Dragon Taming Orb? You don't even put us in your eyes." Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge pretended to be furious.

Xi Jiu Er hurriedly said, "Ah, unjustly accused, why didn't maidservant put His Majesty in his eyes? Look, maidservant was even observing the Dual Dragons Drama Beads, which means that there's something in His Majesty's heart! "

"Hmph, such a glib tongue." Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge gave a cold snort, "Get up."

"Thank you, your majesty the Emperor." Xi Jiu Er slowly stood up.

"Let me show you something. Do you have an impression of it?" A jade pendant appeared in Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's hand. The jade pendant was Heart's Lock, and Bai Ruyu was a high rank one. Xi Jiu Er was startled. "Your Majesty, why is the maidservant's jade pendant on you?"

This jade pendant belonged to her mother. After she was reborn, she had never seen this jade pendant again. Why did it appear in Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's hands?

"Have you forgotten?" Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge looked at Xi Jiu Er with a smile that was not a smile.

For some reason, there was something wrong with Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's eyes, which made Xi Jiu Er, who wanted to trick him, more cautious. But after thinking about it for a long time, seeing that Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's face was turning darker and darker, she forced out a smile. Your Majesty … maidservant was previously injured in the head so I can't remember a lot of things … "

Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's gaze instantly became as sharp as a sword, whizzing over, as though he wanted to see through it. In any case, he had never done anything shameful, so what was there to be afraid of?

"Hah!" Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge coldly snorted, "Since you dare to forget!"

Eh, could it be that she had done something very excessive and offended Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge? Xi Jiu Er did not dare to speak carelessly, and only dryly laughed a few times. Suddenly, Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's expression changed as he said indifferently, "Lucky …"

Pfft, Xi Jiu Er's expression froze. Why does it feel like His Majesty calling me 'Laifu' is calling me a dog? said: "I heard from Prince Xian that you are an expert in medicine, is there a problem?"

"Prince Xian, he … This is a misunderstanding, maidservant has only read a few medical books, how can it be considered as extraordinary in terms of medical skills? " Xi Jiu Er said with a serious face: "It was just a fluke."

"Hmph, it was a fluke. You sure are capable." Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's words seemed to be filled with ridicule: "What do you think of Prince Xian? Do you want me to betroth you to him? You once told me that the Prince Xian was an elegant and graceful man, and that you wanted to marry him. "

"Huh?" Xi Jiu Er was startled. When did she say she was going to marry the Prince Xian? And she and Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge knew each other before? Wasn't this the first time they had met.

Xi Jiu Er was suspicious in her heart, but seeing Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's serious face, she said: "It's good that Prince Xian is fine, but maidservant does not like him.

Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge's expression instantly changed to that of a sunny day, and he asked with interest: What's wrong with Prince Xian, why don't you like him?

Xi Jiu Er was startled, the Prince Xian was actually not bad, she was pretty good-looking, and her status was good, although she was a little flowery, but who wouldn't?

"The husband that the maidservant wants is someone only he has in his entire life. He will never leave and will never let go of each other." Xi Jiu Er softly revealed the words in her heart, "This maidservant just wants this kind of husband.

Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge was startled for a moment before immediately rejecting: "That's impossible, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Your request is really too difficult."

"maidservant doesn't feel that, if he truly likes maidservant, his heart would definitely be filled with maidservant. How can he allow other women to live with him? When I saw him with other women, I would be sad, I would cry. Would he be willing to see me cry? If maidservant cannot find such a person, then we might as well just marry him. "

"Alright, don't tell me about this. There will be a Royal Hunt in a few days. As the County Lord, come and see me." "Alright, you can go now." Xuan Yuan Zhu Ge said impatiently.

Xi Jiu Er withdrew. Once she got back to her residence and received this news, the old Madame was extremely happy as well. This daughter of theirs, whom they had never put in their eyes, was the one who had given them the most face! Princess, your rank is about the same as Xi Hong Sheng's.

"Liu Shui, quickly tell this good news to mother, and let him be happy for me." Xi Jiu Er laughed.

"Yes."

When they gave Xi Jiu Er a celebratory dinner later that night, Third Wife suggested to release Xi Wan Rong and Xi Wan Feng, the old Madame was immediately displeased. Would I be able to eat if they came? Can you get up? "

"Yes, it's because I didn't consider everything." Third Wife lowered his head and said meekly.

"Alright, alright, don't say it!" "Eat, eat." The old Madame laughed and said. Everyone is happy to have a meal... On the other hand, Xi Wan Rong was extremely furious, he had almost smashed everything in his house, Xi Wan Feng did not make any movements, only her servant was having her eyes turn red. One could see the bruises and bruises on his wrists.
