Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Chapter 31

The people next to him guessed enviously, what reward would Xia Keyu want?Gold, silver and jewelry?Or seek promotion for your own family members?
For a moment, I couldn't help thinking about it.
Thinking of this, Xia Keyu bowed with a smile and said:
"Since your majesty has said it, my daughter will not hide it. My daughter looks at the crystal clear grapes, which are very delicious. If your majesty allows my daughter to take this basket of grapes back to the elders at home to taste, my daughter will be very grateful."

As soon as this remark came out, the emperor was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, and said, "He is a good and filial boy, I'm sure."

Xia Keyu also pretended to be honest and laughed.

The people present were even more astonished. They felt that Xia Keyu, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, acted so confusingly, but His Majesty liked her very much.

Xia Keyu knew very well that in front of such a big man whose status was much higher than himself, the most important thing was not to play any tricks.

The Xia family is not short of gold, silver and jewelry. This time, the most important thing is to show their face in front of the emperor, not to show their greed.

Wisdom is stupid.

This is also the emperor's evaluation of Xia Keyu from the bottom of his heart.

With such an interruption, the rest of the banquet will be a bit too boring.The emperor excused himself to leave, while the imperial concubine watched the performances of a few ladies without interest, and signaled everyone to leave.

"Miss Xia, you are amazing!"

Bai Xiaoxiao, the lord of Yongning County, took the initiative to speak up.

Seeing this, Xia Keyu hurriedly saluted, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Princess, for speaking out just now, and Ke Yu is very grateful."

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoxiao said heartily: "You can call me Xiaoxiao. I just don't like them always bullying honest people."

Xia Keyu quickly praised: "The Princess has a chivalrous heart."

Bai Xiaoxiao was told her heart, she immediately had a good impression of Xia Keyu, she patted Xia Keyu on the shoulder and said:
"You still understand me. I, Bai Xiaoxiao, have handed over your friend."

Xia Keyu thought of such a smart, innocent and righteous woman who died tragically in a foreign land in her previous life, so she nodded immediately:
"The princess doesn't dislike it, so Ke Yu recognizes the princess as a friend."

The two talked and laughed all the way, but they were quite speculative, and they made an appointment to meet again at another day.

Only then did Xia Keyu bring Qingya together, carrying the basket of grapes he got as a reward, and was going to look for Xia's carriage outside the palace gate to go back home.

"Miss, I was almost scared to death just now." Qing Ya whispered.

There were several times just now, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe out, for fear that her young lady would offend those nobles and be beaten with a stick like the second young lady.

"It's good to see more." Xia Keyu comforted lightly.

Just as he was talking, someone came over with a carriage and said respectfully, "Hello, benefactor~"

Only then did Xia Keyu recognize that this person was Chi Yan from Duke Chu's mansion.

Chi Yan hurriedly explained: "Grandpa heard that the second young lady of the Xia family took a carriage back in advance, and he was afraid that the benefactor would not have a carriage, so he specially asked the younger one to take the benefactor back home."

Xia Keyu knew that there must be someone in the Duke Chu's Palace, that's why he knew about it so quickly.

I was a little moved by Chu Guogong's carefulness in my heart, and hurriedly said politely: "Thanks for your hard work."

Chi Yan grinned and said: "My father-in-law said that the little one must send the benefactor home safe and sound."

Along the way, Chi Yan asked about Xia Keyu's experience in the palace with concern. He was afraid that Xia Keyu might misunderstand, and said:

"Benefactor, it is my father-in-law who wants to know whether the benefactor has been wronged in the palace."

Shaking his head and laughing, Xia Keyu told what happened in the palace.

About to arrive at Xia's mansion, Xia Keyu seemed to remember something, and said to Chi Yan:
"This basket is the grapes that His Majesty gave me in the palace. Grapes are a rare thing in the early spring. I will share some with you. You go back and give it to your father-in-law."

Because no container was found in the car, Xia Keyu hesitated again and again, took out his handkerchief, put some grapes in it, and said:
"Let your father-in-law take good care of his illness."

Chu Guogong is her benefactor, she has to curry favor with him, and she will be rich and prosperous in the future, but it is not easy to catch.

Chi Yan was extremely happy, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my benefactor, my father-in-law will definitely be very happy when he sees Putao."

When Xia Keyu got off the car and walked into Xia's house, she saw Xia Kelian lying on the ground in embarrassment, apparently fainted, and Aunt Rong beside her was crying.

Xia Fengyuan and Mrs. Xia sat in the main seats, with sad faces.

Seeing Xia Keyu coming back, Aunt Rong stepped forward like crazy, trying to grab Xia Keyu's arm, and asked:

"Miss, let me ask you, what happened to Ke Lian? How could she be beaten like this?"

Xia Keyu dodged Aunt Rong's hand without a trace, motioned Qingya to put the basket of grapes on the main seat, and then said slowly:
"Grandmother, Father, these are the grapes that His Majesty rewarded you in the palace. Keyu asked for them specially, and wanted you to try them too."

When Xia Fengyuan, who was sitting in the main seat, heard this, his expression turned from worry to joy, and he couldn't believe it: "Is this really a reward from His Majesty in the palace?"

Xia Keyu nodded and said, "It's absolutely true."

Mrs. Xia at the side also breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed to Xia Kelian who was on the ground and asked, "What's going on here?"

In a few words, Xia Keyu told the story that Xia Kelian wanted to present the painting to the imperial concubine, but unexpectedly the painting faded and offended the imperial concubine.

Aunt Rong at the side heard this and quickly shook her head: "This is impossible, the painting is good, how could it fade for no reason?"

Xia Keyu pretended to be disgusted and said: "Then how would I know? If I hadn't been quick-witted, our Xia family would have been implicated almost."

After listening to the cause and effect, Xia Fengyuan already knew that the noble concubines and the emperor in the palace would not blame the Xia family. Not only that, Xia Keyu also gained the emperor's favor, and he immediately became more and more pleasing to the eye of this daughter.

Seeing this, Xia Keyu suggested: "This grape is a rare thing. My daughter wants to share some with my mother, my cousin, and Maoer."

"Of course, hurry up, take this basket of grapes down and wash it." Xia Fengyuan was overjoyed.

Aunt Rong on the ground saw her daughter lying dying on the ground, and the other people beside her were really happy, and their hearts were about to break.

She opened her mouth and said, "Miss, please do me a favor, Ke Lian is also your own sister, can't you get the imperial doctor to look at your sister too?"

Xia Keyu sighed in embarrassment and said, "What did my aunt say? My sister was beaten. You just need to apply the medicine well and rest in bed, and you will recover naturally."

The reason why Aunt Rong has been unwilling to carry people in is to blackmail Xia Keyu, so she wept and wailed:

"How can Missy speak so lightly, I fainted just looking at your sister."

Without waiting for Xia Keyu to say anything, Fan Yin, who had been hearing voices from the side, walked in and said coldly:
"Does this imperial doctor come here just by asking? Besides, she offended the imperial concubine in the palace. Which imperial doctor would dare to come?"

Aunt Rong still had lingering fears about the scene of Fan Yin holding a sword and trying to kill herself that night, so she dared not speak at the moment.
Everyone in the Xia family was a little afraid of this tall and burly Fan Yin, so naturally they didn't dare to say anything.
