Chapter 411 A superficial reward

"Yes, Cao Min knows."

Now that he had taken a step back, of course Li Er would not be stalemate anymore, and immediately took a step back.

The atmosphere in the hall was relieved temporarily, and Sister Xiao finally cried less fiercely.

The queen mother hugged her and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.Looking at Miss Xiao's delicate little face, she really couldn't get enough of it: "How old is this child? What's his name?"

Su Ran answered one by one.

The Queen Mother nodded. "It's a good name. It's just that the child is more than three years old. Why is she so small? You parents have to pay more attention to your child."

Su Ran should be submissive.

It was easy for Sister Xiao to stop crying, and the Queen Mother coaxed her a few more words, then took off a jade pendant and handed it to her. "This is a piece of peace jade that came as a tribute from Tubo. Seeing that Miss Xiao likes it, Ai's family gave this piece of jade to her! From now on, Miss Xiao, you must grow up in peace!"

Su Ran hurriedly expressed her thanks on behalf of her daughter.

Since the gift was given to sister Xiao, of course the brothers Zhuang who became a brother must not miss it.The queen mother immediately called the brothers to her side again, asked them a few words one by one, and gave each of them a reward.Each of the three children has a piece of jade, which is not biased.

After the queen mother rewarded them, the emperor called the three brothers and sisters to him.After looking at them one by one, he also gave them rewards.However, the meeting gifts given by the emperor are very different. What he gave to Brother Zhuang was a Western Region dagger inlaid with gems, what he gave to Brother Bian was an inkstone, and what Miss Xiao gave was a string of beautiful gem bracelets. .

With these children acting as a buffer in the middle, the adults will not make their faces too ugly.

The matter of whether the surname was Li or Xu just now is considered a turning point.The queen mother gave them a seat, and then asked about Li Er's affairs over the years.

In fact, after they found Li Er, they had already inquired about Li Er's itinerary over the years.But listening to Li Er and Su Ran talk about all the things they experienced in Wushan Village these years, the Queen Mother still shed a few more tears.

"It's really hard for you. You are obviously the son of heaven, but the result is wrong... Hey! However, you are still a descendant of Queen Zhenxi. Even in such a situation, you did not give up on yourself. Instead, you worked hard as always. The Ai family is very pleased. The old Zhenxi Wang and Zhenxi Wang Quanxia know, they must be satisfied!"

The emperor also nodded with a smile. "Isn't it? Moreover, although their days were down and out, the family still worked hard and earned a huge family business in just a few years. In addition, they raised rabbits and made rabbit fur cloth His craftsmanship has now spread to the capital! This time I ordered the promotion of the cultivation of fanmai throughout the country, and he was also the one who responded most actively. It can be seen that he has always cared about the country, and has not suffered because of these years. Unjust and resentful."

"Indeed. It's really rare for them to have such qualities. Compared with them, the Aijia would be ashamed!" The queen mother was also amused by the emperor's words.

The mother and son talked more than Li Er and the others when they glanced at me.In the end, it almost became the mother and son talking, with Li Er's family as the foil.

A group of people gathered together and talked for an hour before the Queen Mother yawned wearily.

The emperor got up quickly. "Is the queen mother tired? If that's the case, you should rest quickly, I won't bother you here anymore."

Li Er and Su Ran's family also got up quickly.

The queen mother was still a little bit reluctant. "The Ai family was very happy to see them, and I really didn't want them to leave just like that."

"Don't worry, queen mother, if you like them, you can just ask them to come into the palace to accompany you in the future, anyway, Zhenxi Palace is not far from the palace!" The emperor said with a smile.

The Queen Mother just nodded. "That's the same reason."

After all, a group of talents left.

After leaving the Kunning Palace, another eunuch came over immediately and whispered to the emperor that he had something important to report.The emperor pondered for a while with a sullen face, and then turned to Li Er guiltily: "I still wanted to talk to you alone, but it turned out to be a coincidence. Ning Ge is old, and now he is waiting for me in the imperial study."

"National affairs are important, Your Majesty, go get busy first!" Li Er said immediately.

The emperor nodded, and ordered the old eunuch Deng Ning to send them out, and left quickly.

This trip to the palace is considered to be over.

However, on the way back, Su Ran clearly noticed that Li Er's expression had become extraordinarily solemn, even much deeper than when he entered the palace.

He is very unhappy now.She knew that, in fact, she was not happy in her heart.

Today's so-called entering the palace is actually nothing more than the emperor's intentional appearance for the world to see.The emperor and empress dowager met them together, and she seemed to be giving them face when she said it, but in fact, when there were too many people, she couldn't say a few serious words.The Empress Dowager was old, so she talked about those parents' inconsequences, and she babbled so much, but it was actually of no real use.The so-called concern for them is only superficial, and it will be embarrassing to hear too much.Even she has noticed this, so what about him?

Su Ran slowly reached out to hold his hand.

The man paused and looked up at her.

"It's okay." She told him softly.

Li Er nodded. "I know." He said in a deep voice, but his face was still not looking good.

Hey!
Su Ran sighed inwardly, and lowered her eyes.

A group of people walked back to the palace in silence.When the car reached the gate of the palace, it stopped suddenly.

"Young master, there is a Zhou family's carriage parked at the door. It seems that Mrs. Zhou is here again..."

The driver at the front whispered, but before he finished speaking, Li Er said coldly: "Go on!"

The coachman only felt a sharp cold whizzing from behind, shooting at his back accurately and ruthlessly, making him stiff with cold all at once.He nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, the little one knows!" He hurriedly drove the car and continued to move forward, without stopping in front of the Zhou family's carriage.

Seeing Li Er and his carriage approaching, Mrs. Zhou's maids shouted excitedly: "Young lady, look quickly, they are back!"

Mrs. Zhou also had a happy smile on her face.She hastily straightened her dress, straightened the hairpin on her head, and was about to tell the coachman to keep up with their car.

But who knows, the servant girl's voice suddenly changed. "They...how did they leave? They didn't come over and invite us to go in together!"

Mrs. Zhou's smile froze, and she quickly looked out through the window, and saw Li Er's carriage passing by them.The people in the carriage walked straight into the palace carelessly as if they hadn't seen them, and then with a bang, the gate of the palace was shut firmly, rejecting them from outside.

Mrs. Zhou's face suddenly turned red, then purple, then blue, and finally dark blue.

The maid was also very angry. "Don't take them to bully people like this! They are throwing you aside after using you, Young Madam, aren't they? No, I have to go to them to argue!"

"Forget it!" Mrs. Zhou shook her head, "Let's go back!"

"Young lady!"

"Go back!" Madam Zhou gritted her teeth and drank in a low voice.

The maid was startled, and then lowered her head. "Yes, coachman, let's go back!"

For this small episode outside, Li Er didn't take it very seriously.However, for Li Er's unhesitating performance just now, Su Ran was secretly happy for a while.

As soon as they returned to the palace, a large group of people came to the palace with drums and gongs, and this time it was the emperor's personal servant who led the way.

This valet is here to present the emperor and the empress dowager with rewards.

Before Su Ran and Li Er had time to catch their breath, they hurried out to receive the order again.

However, the content of the imperial decree is obviously much richer than what they heard in the palace.The emperor not only returned the throne of King Zhenxi to them, rewarded them with ten carts of jewels and a hundred hectares of fertile land, but also granted Brother Zhuang the title of Marquis of Xi'an and Brother Bian the title of Marquis of Bei'an. The name of Xining County Lord, and then the three brothers and sisters have their own rewards.

In addition, this time the queen mother actually asked someone to pick out ten young and beautiful court ladies and send them over!

"The queen mother said that the princess of Zhenbei just came to the capital, and I am afraid she is not familiar with all aspects, so the queen mother specially selected these people to help you, and asked the princess of Zhenbei to treat them as sisters. As long as the princess of Zhenbei you Treat each other with sincerity, and they will definitely do their best to repay you." This is what the attendant said to Su Ran.

After hearing these words, Su Ran felt his eyes go dark, and he almost couldn't breathe out of his throat.

Did the queen mother dislike her so quickly she decided to find another woman to have a son for Li Er?
