Chapter V Queen's Reward
Luo Jingchen nodded and said, "Then let's go tomorrow."
"But we agreed that we must wait for us tomorrow." Yonghe said quickly, worried that the imperial brothers would not wait for their girls.
"Don't worry." Luo Jingting looked at this little sister who had been separated since childhood and shook his head helplessly.
Yong He was very happy. He turned around and saw Cixuan and said, "Cixuan, you can go horse riding with us tomorrow."
Before Cixuan could answer, Princess Le Yao had already said: "Yonghe, Cixuan is weak and can't ride a horse, so she doesn't need to go." She thought silently in her heart: Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disappointment?
The two royal brothers and Young Master Ji were both there, and Princess Leyao did not reveal her inner contempt for Su Cixuan. However, at the moment, she felt that Su Cixuan was an eyesore, which made her feel unhappy.
Young Master Ji on the side suddenly interjected: "I'm sorry for Jiyao's abruptness, but Jiyao thinks that if the princess is weak, she should go out and walk more. Even if she can't ride a horse, she can walk more, which is also good for her health. I just don't know.
What do you think, the Commander-in-Chief?" Gongzi Ji looked at Cixuan, his voice gentle and sweet.
Yonghe said quickly: "Young Master Ji's words are very true. Cixuan, let's go together tomorrow."
Su Cixuan looked at Gongzi Ji, then turned to Yonghe, and said with a slight smile: "Okay."
After dinner, Su Cixuan and her maid Jinyu were watching the sunset on the porch. The palace maid Xiaoxing hurriedly came to find her. When she saw her, she happily reported: "The princess made it easy to find the slave. Please go back and take a look, the queen."
I sent Aunt Qingyi to deliver something. It is said that the Queen heard that the princess performed well in school today, so she specially sent something to reward the princess."
Cixuan's heart skipped a beat and asked, "Is Aunt Qingyi still in the palace?"
Xiaoxing replied: "Aunt Qingyi put down her things and left. She only asked the servant to bring a message to the princess, 'I hope the princess will carefully appreciate the rewards given by the queen and never let down the queen's expectations in the future.'"
Su Cixuan nodded, and she raised her eyes to look at the Western Mountain. The setting sun had already sunk into the mountains, leaving only a few fiery red clouds, and the night was slowly falling.
Su Cixuan turned to the two girls and said, "Let's go back."
Returning to her Ziyun Palace, Su Cixuan calmly looked at the exquisitely carved box on the table, thinking about such an exquisite box and wondering what kind of "good things" were inside.
Seeing Jinyu and Su Cixuan staring at the box together, Xiaoxing tugged on Jinyu's sleeves, and then said to Su Cixuan with some embarrassment: "Princess Princess, Aunt Qingyi said that the empress ordered that this reward can only be
The princess opened it alone and looked at it. The slave girl and Jinyu left first."
Su Cixuan's eyes remained unchanged and calm: "It's okay, you can go down."
In fact, Xiaoxing was very greedy. Such an exquisite box must contain a rare treasure. But she was also very puzzled. Since it was a reward, it should be preached to teach others about the Queen's benevolence. How could she not even look at it?
They, the palace maids, are not allowed to see it. God knows how much she wants to feast her eyes on it.
Only Jinyu looked at Cixuan with some worry, but she had to obey the queen's order, she just hoped that there was nothing scary in the box.
After all the palace maids had exited, Su Cixuan calmly opened the box. The first thing that caught her eye was a few valuable pearls. However, after the box lid was completely opened, she was shocked to see a pair of fish eyes mixed inside, and it also issued a
Disgusting fishy smell.
Su Cixuan endured the discomfort and closed the lid again. A sarcastic sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. Confused, the words "I hope the princess will carefully appreciate the Queen's reward" rang in her ears. Su Cixuan understood that the Queen was
Remind her that even if it is mixed with pearls, fish eyes will always be humble fish eyes and cannot become pearls.
Cixuan smiled wryly at herself. The Queen had spent so much time reminding her of her daughter that she really thought highly of her.
Looking at this brocade box, Su Cixuan envied Princess Leyao so much that she had a mother who doted on her. Su Cixuan closed her eyes and slowly calmed down the extreme misery in her heart until she looked as usual.
The next day, Su Cixuan went to Weiyang Palace to greet the Empress and express her gratitude as usual. When greeting her, Su Cixuan was neither humble nor overbearing as usual. When she thanked the Empress, she was also sincere, as if the treasures in the box were not mixed with fish eyes.
, and only valuable pearls.
The empress looked graceful and regal, with a kind smile, and said to her: "Get up quickly, I heard Le Yao say that you performed very well in school yesterday, and I should reward you. Firstly, it is a commendation for you, and secondly...
Let the princesses in the palace know that I like children who are studious and motivated. The emperor has not hired famous teachers from all over the world to give the princesses a false reputation. Princess Cixuan can learn so well. If they are serious, the royal princess will not live up to expectations.
If you do this, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the royal family and let down the painstaking efforts of this palace and the emperor?" Finally, the Queen's voice changed and said: "I already scolded Le Yao yesterday, I only hope that she can understand me.
With good intentions.”
"The Queen's heart for the princess, Princess Leyao will definitely live up to the Queen's expectations." Cixuan looked respectful, as if she could not hear what the Queen meant by what she said.
