The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
48. A Gift from the Emperor
The feast was prepared in the palace. The emperor and the officials stood in front of the palace as Pei Zhang Xi's entourage arrived. Pei Zhang Xi got off the carriage, but he did not leave immediately. Rather extend his hand to the train drama. Everyone was shocked to learn there was a woman inside the same carriage as Pei Zhang Xi.
Previously even though Pei Zhang Xi was already married to Lu Jing Yu, they had never both appeared together in an event. Moreover, the rumors that had been circulating all along said that the relationship between the two was not good after what Lu Jing Yu had done to climb onto Pei Zhang Xi's bed.
In addition to the news of Lu Jing Yu's heroism arriving at the palace, rumors Lin also arrived. The news was none other than that the daughter of Eastern Chu, Web princess Qian Nian had come home with Pei Zhang Xi as a concubine. So when Pei Zhang Xi stopped and took the initiative to petrify others in the carriage, no one guessed that it was Lu Jing Yu but Wei Qian Nian's DAUGHTER.
A white and refined hand extended out welcomed Pei Zhang Xi's hand. Then defensively next to the foot with yellow ghost ivory comes out gently. Until a head with a simple headdress came out from inside the carriage with a beautiful face yet it looked sour. Again they were all surprised. Wasn't that the face of Lu Jing Yu they already recognized. How could he? Where is the princess of Eastern Chu?
Everyone was in a daze until they saw another beautiful girl coming down from the carriage behind. The girl had a beautiful and sweet face. Have large, watery round eyes. Those beautiful eyes looked around curiously. Her lips were probably smiling as she looked at all the new people who were welcoming.
If Lu Jing Yu was famous for the number one beauty in the Shao empire, Wei Qian Nian also had the same reputation in the Eastern Chu Empire. Both have their own level of beauty. Lu Jing Yu looked graceful and mature while Wei Qian Nian looked sweet and innocent. Everyone cannot choose who is more beautiful.
Pei Zhang Xi walked along with Lu Jing Yu and saluted the Emperor and Queen. Wei Qian Nian followed them behind. The crowd focused on Wei Qian Nian's beautiful and fresh refined appearance.
"My child. You have made the Shao empire proud to have you. Congratulations on your victory. This contribution will always be remembered. I announce! To celebrate the success of King and Empress Rui in carrying out their duties, a three-day and three-night folk party will be held. Spread this command all over the capital." Everyone smiles happily.
"And to Empress Rui, for her courage and dedication. Also thanks to her brilliant ideas and also her contribution to the war this time, I, Emperor Shao Pei An Long will bestow the title of Honorary Empress to Empress Rui, Lu Jing Yu. It will also reward ten thousand gold taels and also the Bungalow Heaven Lake in the eastern area. Accept my son-in-law." Pei An Long handed his decree to Lu Jing Yu.
Lu Jing Yu did not expect a reward at all. She just didn't want to be a widow wearing white for the rest of her life and went to the battlefield to save Pei Zhang Xi. Moreover, he intended to leave this empire after he divorced Pei Zhang Xi in the future. How could he accept all these gifts? A degree? A bungalow? What good is it for him in the future?
Suang was shocked when he heard the gift the emperor had given Lu Jing Yu. Everyone in the empire knew that Bungalou Heaven Lake was a resting place for the royal members. They will visit if they are bored. Moreover, the region around Bungalou Heaven Lake was a vineyard as far as the eye could see. A house making the oldest wine and the best wine income in the Shao empire. It could be said that this was a palace treasure. But this time will be given away as a gift?
Pei Zhong Min gnashed his teeth upon hearing this. As a prince, although in the eyes of outsiders a place like Bungalou Heaven Lake was known as a royal resting and vacation spot, it was not as simple as it seemed. Never mind dreaming of having it, just setting foot there requires a lot of effort. In the past when he would take his wife who was pregnant.go on vacation there even have to go through several stages then can stay for one week.
Other than Pei Zhong Min who was dissatisfied with the gift Lu Jing Yu received, the other princes and princesses also swallowed the vinegar in their hearts.
Wei Qian Nian who from the very beginning had only heard clearly saw the interconnectedness of everyone and the envious gazes of the princes and princesses he had seen. Seeing this alone, although he did not understand what kind of place the Heaven Lake Bungalow Lu Jing Yu had just obtained, but he could see that the place was a priceless place.
"Yu'er, quickly accept your present. It was a blessing from the Emperor's Father." Pei Zhang Xi understood what Lu Jing Yu was thinking and knew that his wife was in a daze. So he encouraged her to immediately accept all her gifts and make it as a rope that would tie Lu Jing Yu aside from her.
With hesitation finally Lu Jing Yu came forward and knelt down to receive the reward from the Emperor. "Thank you for the generosity of the Emperor's father. This daughter-in-law had no other ride when following His Majesty to the battlefield. This gift means a lot to this daughter-in-law."
"Dad Emperor. We also brought the spoils of war sent by Eastern Chu." As Pei Zhang Xi spoke the servants came and handed the tray containing many treasures from Eastern Chu to the eunuchs.
"Oohs. Eastern Chu Emperor was extremely generous. I also heard that he sent his daughter here. Is this him?" The emperor turned his head and looked at Wei Qian Nian who had since observed the situation.
"Yes Your Majesty. The servant was Wei Qian Nian. The sixth daughter of Emperor Wei Wu Xian. Servant salutes the Emperor." Wei Qian Nian bowed her body.
"Indeed like a rumor circulating that sixth princess Eastern Chu is indeed a beautiful girl."
"Thank you for your Majesty's praise."
"Alright enough bases. You all have come a long way. Better get in and start the banquet."
Everyone followed the Emperor in. They could not just quietly look at Wei Qian Nian's daughter who had been following Pei Zhang Xi ever since she came. They were secretly measuring how important Pei Zhang Xi's current level was.
The victory of the war this time was not just seeing that they had managed to defeat Eastern Chu. More importantly was that Pei Zhang Xi's current status and position would be one point higher than before he went to the border one month ago. At this time many ministers began to bend then they where they would hug someone's thigh.
