Don’t Mess with the Tough Lady

"Niang Niang, Grandpa Guo is here."

As soon as Du Qingheng was about to rest, he heard the maid coming in to report.

Hearing that Guo Yuanqing was coming, his eyes lit up, he quickly put on his cloak and walked out.

"It's so late, what is he here for?"

"It seems that the reward was given by the emperor's order."

"Reward?!"

Du Qingheng's face was more joyful, and her footsteps were also fast. She hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, let alone the emperor's reward, which was something she couldn't even think of.

"Quick! Please come in, Father Guo!"

She walked out of the sleeping hall, but saw that people in the distance had come with lanterns. The excitement in her heart could not be restrained, and she felt that her spring was finally here.

"The imperial concubine."

Guo Yuanqing led a group of people down the steps and saluted Du Qingheng.

Du Qingheng's face was full of joy: "Daddy Guo doesn't need to be polite, please hurry up, it's so late, and let you go to Yanxi Palace this time, trouble you."

Guo Yuanqing shook his head, not arrogant at all: "The imperial concubine is serious, this is what a slave should do."

It was just some kind words. Du Qingheng naturally knew that these were what Guo Yuanqing should do. She looked behind Guo Yuanqing, and she saw some people holding a few trays, obviously they were coming to give rewards.

"Grandpa Guo came so late, I don't know the emperor..." She couldn't wait to know that something went wrong with the emperor, and someone suddenly received a reward. Could it be that she finally had her in her heart.

It's just that she didn't finish her words, she saw Guo Yuanqing lower her head and smiled, let go of her seat, and then, she saw Jiagui walk out from behind him.

The joy on Du Qingheng's face alleviated a bit when he saw the nobleman, but a trace of disgust appeared on the contrary, but in front of Guo Yuanqing, it was not easy to happen directly.

"Why did the Jiagui come back so late? It's cold, so you should go back and stay quickly to avoid the wind and chill."

This caring tone was as if others didn't know that she was the one who prevented the honorable person from entering the palace.

The Jiagui squatted down sideways and bowed, until he didn't resist: "Thank you Niang Niang for your concern."

"It's all right, you go back soon." Du Qingheng waved her away impatiently, and turned to Guo Yuanqing with a look of anticipation: "Guo, the emperor is so late, what can you send? What is the emperor's will?"

With a smile on his face, Guo Yuanqing looked at the honorable person: "Oh, the slave is here to give the honorable person a reward."

In one sentence, Du Qingheng's smile instantly solidified on his face.

what?

to whom?

Give rewards to honorable people?

Not for her?

This... is this wrong?

Where did Du Qingheng froze, the smile on his face was very ugly, and he almost squeezed a sentence from between his teeth: "Daddy Guo is not wrong, right? This is Yanxi Palace. The emperor really asked you to give rewards to honorable people. ?"

"It's Yanxi Palace. The emperor said very clearly, let the slaves send these cloths and jewelry to the nobles." Guo Yuanqing's words are very clear, and Du Qingheng cannot be questioned.

As if he hadn't seen her face, Guo Yuanqing made a gesture of invitation to the Jiagui, and let her go where she lived.

"Honorable person, please."

"Grandpa Guo, please come here."

Le'er led the way, and the Jiagui lowered his head and gave another salute to Du Qingheng: "Excuse me, it's getting late, I should rest early, my concubine will go home first."

Du Qingheng looked at the direction they were leaving, and hated to his bones. A subconsciously, the flowerpot beside him was broken to the ground. The black soil was scattered all over the ground, and the withered flowers inside fell out, and when the wind blew them, they drifted towards Far away.

The servants of the entire palace knelt on the ground, not daring to hesitate, Du Qingheng, this was a sign of anger.

"Why, why should the emperor give her a reward? This palace is the main seat of Yanxi Palace! This palace is a noble concubine! Why can't the emperor remember me!"

She held the pillar next to her tightly, her eyes could pinch a deep hatred, and she really hated her! Even if the nail broke, she didn't see any reaction.

"You! Go and show to this palace, why did the emperor give her a reward? What did she do?"

Du Qingheng pointed at it casually, and the inferior palace lady under the steps was guilty. The palace lady only promised, as if she wasn't sure if it was herself.

Du Qingheng saw her harp and did not move for a long time. He turned his head abruptly, his eyes seemed to be able to eat people, and roared: "What are you still doing here? Let the palace invite you!"

"The slave maid will go, and the slave maid will go."

Where did the maid dare to hesitate, and quickly trot to follow those people not far away.

Despite this, Du Qingheng still felt irritated. She looked at the servants in the courtyard, and only felt angry:

"From now on, if anyone let this palace see that you have the slightest expression on that person, don't let this palace do anything, take things to this palace and get out of Yanxi Palace, get out of the sight of this palace, otherwise, don't blame this palace. You are welcome, do you understand?"

"Yes, mother."

Partial Palace

The Jiagui finally returned to his yard, and the palace maid saw them coming back and quickly lit up all the candles. The palace that was still dim was suddenly lit up.

Leer let people bring hot water and a heater, and the honorable person took a few sips, and finally felt a lot of relief.

"Grandpa Guo, thank you so much today."

Guo Yuanqing also led someone to wait for her to receive the reward. Hearing this, he shook his head: "The little master is polite, and the slave is very happy to be able to help the little master."

He waved his hand and motioned to everyone behind him to come closer, before he said again: "Honorable person, receive the reward."

"The emperor's verbal message, the honorable person has taken care of the princess Heya, and she is loved by the queen and the princess. He will give five pieces of Lingguang cloth, a few jewelry, and two golden carvings and peacock flower calcined pots. princess."

As he spoke, the people behind also raised all those rewards and placed them on the table in front of the honorable person.

This is the first reward for the nobles since entering the palace. Looking at the cloths that are many times better than the silk and satin she wears, she just feels flattered.

He quickly got up and thanked him: "These are all concubines. What you should do is to share the worries for the queen and the princess, and to get the princess to like it. They are all blessings for the concubine, and the concubine dare not take credit."

Such a humble person caused Guo Yuanqing to nod as well, as he understood why the queen valued her so much.

"The honorable person does not need to be restrained. These are what the young master deserves. The emperor also takes your actions in his eyes, and the honorable person receives the reward."

"Concubine understands, Le'er, bring the two pots of Peach Blossom Drunk I brought when I entered the palace."

When the Jiagui gave an order, she saw Le'er quickly took two bottles and walked in. She took them personally and handed them to Guo Yuanqing, very sincerely: "This is the fine wine my father asked me to bring when I entered the palace. I don’t know how to drink, I wanted the emperor to taste it, but this opportunity is rare."

"It's really troublesome for Father Guo today. I don't have any good things. Only this peach blossom drunk can handle it. Please don't dislike him."
