Chapter 13
Su Zijin followed the small yellow gate all the way, and was too overwhelmed by the majestic royal atmosphere in the palace to dare to look up.

She never imagined that just after being despised by her mother and smelling of sweat, she won the Xiaohuangmen's decree.

Mrs. Chang also followed Meng, and before she had time to ask the reason, Su Zijin was led out of the Su residence by the little yellow gate and into the royal carriage.

"My daughter, Su Zijin, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

As soon as Su Zijin entered the Qiande Hall, he simply knelt down and paid homage to the current sage.

Just kidding, this whole work belongs to His Majesty. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. It is not casual talk.There are so many historical figures who are talented and talented, and they have learned literary and martial arts for the sake of goods and the emperor's family. Being disrespectful in front of the emperor is no different from courting death.

Su Zijin's respectful obeisance made the emperor happy, made General Su cover his face, and made the corners of the fourth prince's mouth curl up for an instant.

"Your Majesty, my daughter has been in the new barracks for the past three months, so the rules are loose, please forgive me!"

There is nothing wrong with Su Zijin's rules, the key is that when she is nervous, she kneels like a golden mountain and a jade pillar, and she looks solid. If a man is just flattering, but she is a small girl, she will be inexplicable. There was a cute contrast, which made people laugh. At this time, even the palace man at the door, who was always expressionless, laughed secretly.

Su Zijin knew that he was making a joke, so he didn't dare to move casually, so he simply was honest to the end.

"Yibo doesn't need to make an apology? They are all his own children. Zijin, get up quickly. When you were young, you pulled my beard in my arms. How come you are timid when you grow up. Get up and let me see."

Su Zijin couldn't recall the memory of pulling the emperor's beard, but before His Majesty proclaimed himself emperor, it was true that he had a close relationship with his lieutenants and generals. Maybe he had a similar feat when he was born?
Su Zijin thought about it for a while and didn't have a clue, so he simply put it down, listened to His Majesty's getting up, stood up, and looked at His Majesty.

"A majestic uncle." This was Su Zijin's first impression, but she didn't dare to treat him like an uncle, so she lowered her eyes after just one glance.

"You've grown into a big girl, okay! I just heard your father talk about the Su-style military training method. Was it you who invented it?"

Su Zijin nodded honestly, "I feel bored in the recruit camp, so based on my experience in martial arts training in the mansion, I thought that recruits also need to do a lot of low-intensity exercises, so I gradually thought of some ways. With the help of the captain, it slowly took shape, but I didn't expect it to be quite effective."

Su Zijin had thought about this many times, and said it immediately without stumbling.

Hearing the innocent tone of the little girl, the emperor was also full of smiles, "Okay! Your father and the fourth prince said that this method of training soldiers is good, that means you have contributed to the court. Tell me, what do you want me to reward you?"

Su Zijin raised his eyes to look at his father, who only looked at her with a smile, as if talking casually, Su Zijin said tentatively, "Your Majesty, my daughter is serving as the vice-principal of the recruits this time." Wei, wearing a white feather on his head, found that being an official is quite enjoyable."

As he said that, Su Zijin looked at His Majesty, saw His Majesty was smiling, but he was unmoved, knowing that he should not test too much, and it should be impossible for a woman to be an official, right?
Since you can't ask for an official, then ask for money, "Why don't your majesty reward your courtier with a helmet gem?"

His Majesty laughed loudly, "Yibo, you're an interesting girl. The other girls are all looking for a future and a marriage, but she doesn't care about it and only wants money."

For high-ranking dignitaries, asking for money is not a good reputation. For scholars, farmers, businessmen, asking for money at this time is the most useless.

Su Wu smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, because my daughter is an only daughter, our husband and wife spoiled her when she was young, so even though she is 12 years old, she doesn't have the serious thoughts of other noble girls. She only loves to have fun and acts willfully."

Your Majesty's laughter gradually subsided, and he nodded, "Okay, the heart of a child is very good. I still remember that you just divorced your daughter in the first half of the year, and you still want to give Zijin a new marriage. Since she doesn't have the heart yet, Then let it go for now.”

Su Zijin heard this, but before he could relax completely, His Majesty suddenly mentioned the fourth prince, "Zijin, do you know that I originally wanted to marry you to the fourth prince. Anyway, you are still young and love novelty, so I will marry you." I will give you gems first, and then I will give you a marriage when you are older."

With a breath stuck in his throat, Su Zijin's face was flushed red, and he finally swallowed the shock, and immediately saluted and thanked him, "My lady, thank you for your reward!"

His Majesty smiled again, "Yibo, let's face it, it will be a few years before we become in-laws. Anyway, it's getting late, and Zijin should be tired from performing martial arts. Jing'er, send the general and Zijin off for me."

"My son obeys!"

"I retire!"

"The servant girl retire!"

After leaving the Qiande Hall, Su Zijin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the breath he had choked just now became smoother.

Behind the tall and slender figure of the fourth prince, Su Zijin tugged at his father's sleeve, but was shaken off by his father. Su Zijin pursed his lips, and didn't say anything more, just followed his father and walked out of the palace obediently.

"General Su, I have sent you here."

Su Wu hurriedly cupped his hands, "Please trouble Your Highness, my daughter is very tired today, so I won't say much, let's meet again some other day."

Saying that, without waiting for Su Zijin to leave, he dragged his daughter out of the palace.

The Qiande Hall is where His Majesty lived and met with ministers. Behind the Chengming Hall of the previous court, there is another palace gate separating it.The fourth prince, Qin Jing, sent the Su family's father and daughter to the palace gate behind Chengming Hall, and they were sent out of the palace gate by just a little.

Su Zijin was dragged by her father, she glanced at the fourth prince as a farewell, and then followed her father back home in a hurry.

Seeing that Su Zijin was being dragged away by his father, the fourth prince said goodbye to him without knowing why, he couldn't help laughing wholeheartedly, shook his head and turned back to Qiande Hall.

"Su Zijin is still in the dark?"

As soon as Qin Jing entered the door, His Majesty's voice came.

"Yes."

The fourth prince replied.

"interesting."

Here, Su Zijin followed his father back home, and before he could catch his breath, he was startled by his father's slap on the table.

"What's the matter, master? Isn't it just a matter of recruiting in front of the imperial court? Are there other things?"

Mrs. Chang saw that the master's expression was not right, she waved her hand to let all the servants go down, and asked.

"It's Zijin."

Su Wu said in a low voice.

Mrs. Chang also looked at Su Zijin.

Su Zijin looked innocent, she asked herself if there was anything wrong?
Seeing the innocent face of his daughter, Su Wu couldn't help but tap her forehead, "You, you, you, you can't bear it anymore when you were appointed to the Cui family?"

Su Zijin didn't understand, "What's the matter, father? Just now, when His Majesty said that he gave you the marriage, it's not because I love money, and it's the first time I get married?"

Mrs. Chang was surprised, "A marriage?"

"No!" Su Zijin declared hastily, "I was going to grant a marriage, but later His Majesty changed his mind and didn't grant it!"

This is very important and should not be confused.

Su Wu looked at his silly daughter, "What is the difference between your Majesty's words and giving a marriage?"

Su Zijin thought for a while, then shook his head firmly, "It doesn't matter, anyway, His Majesty didn't say so, that is, he didn't grant a marriage!"

Mrs. Chang doesn't even look at her own daughter. Sometimes people can't hear their voices and have to listen to their voices. My daughter obviously doesn't have this skill.

Su Wujiang said what His Majesty said, Madam Chang also sighed, looked at her daughter and shook her head, "You silly girl."

Su Zijin was puzzled and looked at his parents, expecting their explanation.

"Your father is a great general, and he holds the most powerful soldiers in his hands. Your Majesty has already talked about your marriage to this extent. Who else would dare to get involved?"

Madam Chang explained.

Su Zijin shook her head. Anyway, she would not admit that she couldn't understand Chinese, and she had to translate, insisting, "Anyway, if His Majesty didn't say it clearly, it didn't make a decision!"

The Su family couple looked at each other and smiled wryly.
