Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 210 Recognition
During this period, Zhao Xiwei has been kneeling and sitting aside holding a golden pot, calm and calm, not saying a word, she doesn't look like a newly-married princess, but as if she has been with the prince for many years.

The emperor showed a gratified smile, and told Cao De: "Go to Zhen's study, and get the box with the Eight Immortals carved from the shelf."

Cao De was visibly shocked.

Li Xuanye also looked at the emperor in surprise: "Father."

"Yeah." The emperor waved his hand, smiling all over his face, "Go, I keep this thing for this day."

Zhao Xiwei waited with a puzzled face.

Li Xuanye smiled and looked at her with deep eyes: "That's right, Father is right."

Zhao Xiwei was even more disturbed.

What is it that made them show such shocked expressions one by one.

After a while, Cao De bowed forward holding a red lacquered wooden box: "Your Majesty."

The emperor took the box and opened it with his own hands, and took out a jade pendant from inside.

He stared at this jade pendant, and then looked at Zhao Xiwei: "This is the empress's favorite jade pendant before, and it was given to her on the day of my wedding..."

His voice suddenly became serious, "Crown Princess, I am giving you this jade pendant now, you must take good care of it, and remember not to make any mistakes."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhao Xi's back.

The emperor rewarded her with the queen's token...

In the entire imperial city, everyone knew the importance of the empress in the emperor's heart, so how could this reward be accepted casually?
She looked at Li Xuanye for help.

Li Xuanye nodded slightly.

Zhao Xiwei had no choice but to bite the bullet and kneel in front of the imperial court, deeply prostrated himself on the ground to thank: "I thank Your Majesty for the reward."

After receiving the reward, Zhao Xiwei obediently retreated to his seat.

The emperor pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Xuanye with a thoughtful look.

Zhao Xi thought for a while, then got up and blessed him: "The concubine first goes to the side hall to change clothes."

The expression of approval on the emperor's face became even more obvious: "Cao De, take the princess to the side hall for tea."

Li Xuanye nodded slightly, and said: "Don't wander around."

"Yes." Zhao Xi replied softly, and then Eunuch Cao led him out of the palace gate.

It wasn't until her figure completely disappeared in the hall that the emperor smiled and asked Li Xuanye: "How?"

Li Xuanye served the tea, skimmed off the froth carelessly, and said, "I have the same opinion as my father."

The emperor said "Oh": "How do you know what your father thinks of her?"

Li Xuanye took a sip of tea, and said: "You have rewarded the empress mother's favorite jade pendant, so of course you are very appreciative of her."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.

Li Xuanye smiled faintly: "Father mentioned Shen Mu in front of her in order to test her reaction to the government; father mentioned mother empress again to test her reaction to the palace."

The emperor was exposed by his son, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed: "I can't hide anything from you."

Li Xuanye nodded lightly: "It is the father who trusts the son."

The emperor couldn't help being a little curious: "I'm more curious about what you think of this girl."

Li Xuanye was taken aback for a moment, for some reason, the first thing that came to mind was her shy look last night.

After he reacted, his face was a little uncomfortable, he just sipped his tea and didn't speak.

The emperor stroked his palms and laughed.

Li Xuanye put down the teacup, and it was all calm: "She is very smart, even if the emperor's words involve the secrets of the Shen family, she can still avoid the important ones, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, and don't say what shouldn't be said. Say."

There was a bit of undisguised admiration in his smile: "I am really surprised that I have such a firm heart and a smart mind at such a young age."

The emperor looked at Li Xuanye. The child lost his mother when he was young and was raised by him. He said it was a favor, but it was actually a pressure.

He had to learn to deal with government affairs and take responsibility since he was a child.

The emperor was still a little worried before, fearing that he would cultivate the prince into a ruthless temperament.

Now it seems that I am overthinking.

If the queen is alive, she will be happy for the prince too.

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly became a little moved, and couldn't help saying: "Father is very happy. It is the first time I have been so happy since your mother passed away. Seeing you walking in together and bowing to me, I seem to be watching Back then when I was myself, at that time, my mother and your mother were also in pairs..."

Li Xuanye's expression darkened, but he still said warmly: "Father, you don't have to worry too much, the mother will definitely protect us in heaven."

The base of Zichen Palace is very high, Zhao Xiwei stands here, overlooking the scenery of the whole palace.

Red walls, green tiles, white jade pavement, and golden platforms.

From a close look, the cornices, bucket arches, and terraces and pavilions are uneven; from a distance, it is surrounded by green trees and gurgling springs.

In terms of brilliance, it is comparable to the sun and the moon, and in terms of brilliance, it is better than clouds.

A little bit of snowflakes floated in the sky, falling gently on the roof like flying catkins, and the whole palace looked like a delicate beauty wearing a veil, with a kind of ethereal and dreamy beauty.

The north wind blew gently, and the golden wind chimes hanging from the corners of the eaves rang out with a crisp and pleasant jingle sound, which made people feel refreshed.

Because of getting lost in the palace last time, Zhao Xiwei was on guard, so this time she made up her mind not to go anywhere, but just to watch the scenery quietly here.

However, because it was too quiet, he heard a low and angry voice on the palace road below.

"Need money? You still want money after a half-day delay? I told you that it must be delivered before dawn. It's already noon for you, and now our master doesn't need it anymore. You can take it back and use it yourself! "

The person who cursed was a woman dressed as a court lady, and in front of her was kneeling a woman in a thorn hairpin cloth dress.

"I beg my aunt, please do me a favor. For this basket of rosin, I worked hard for two months and spent all the three taels of silver I saved for half a year. I still have sick parents-in-law at home, and now my husband is also sick." Waiting for medicine, the whole family is waiting for this money to save their lives...Miss Xueliu, please forgive me!"

The woman looked very anxious and terrified, but she firmly grasped the corner of Mingyue's clothes with both hands: "I beg you, my whole family can be saved with these three taels of silver."

The palace maid named Xueliu was quite arrogant, she kicked her: "An ignorant fool, you dare to be so presumptuous in the palace, if you dare to tease me again, someone will cut off your hand!"

The woman was so kicked that she collapsed on the ground.

Xueliu let out a cold "hum", picked up the bamboo basket placed beside her and was about to leave.

"I..." The woman just got up from the ground, rushed over as if dying, and grabbed the bamboo basket: "No, I bought this with silver, you can't take it away without giving money!"

"Slap!" A loud slap fell, and another "bang" was heard, and then something rolled to the ground with a "crash", and then the woman fell silent.
