Rebirth of the Splendid Phoenix

Chapter 69
"Xie Jinhua, how do you want me to reward you?"

When Xie Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor suddenly spoke.

Xie Jinhua was about to say some refusals as before, but the emperor seemed to be prepared, and raised his hand to interrupt her unspoken words: "I asked you last time if you would like to enter the palace, and you told me that you would not, It’s just that I really like your talent, so that’s it.”

The emperor seemed to have an idea: "Xie Jinhua knelt down and listened to the letter."

Xie Jinhua fell to his knees.

"The second daughter of Xie's family is knowledgeable, knowledgeable, talented and virtuous, quick thinking, intelligent and wise. Although she is a woman, she is not inferior to a man. I can't bear to waste her talents. I specially named her a third-rank female official to serve my pen and ink. Walk in the temple."

Xie Jinhua raised his head in astonishment, looking up at the emperor, he couldn't recover for a while.

"Xie Shi, accept the order."

Wang Quan, the head servant next to the emperor, reminded him.

Xie Jinhua bowed his head, leaned over, thank you.

She has done a lot and thought a lot since she was reborn, but she never thought that the emperor would grant her the position of a third-rank female official.

For a while, even Xie Jinhua couldn't help being a little upset.

"Mr. Xie, don't worry. Although I have appointed you as an imperial female official, I don't need you to be on duty in the palace all the time. It's just that you came up with the idea of ​​this official going to the embankment, and there must be something else after that. During this period, After all, I want to hear your opinion, and after the event, I will definitely not treat you badly, and when you reach the age, I will also give you a dowry of honor."

Xie Jinhua listened to the emperor's last words, he was a little stunned by the emperor's sudden idea before, but after thinking about it, Xie Jinhua calmed down, but he knew that the result is already the best.

From the moment she uttered the words "Official Shangdi", the emperor could not let her leave as calmly as before.

Moreover, although the position of such an imperial female official is troublesome, it is much higher than her status as the prostitute of the Shangshu Mansion.

Many things will not be the same as before, just being beaten.

"Besides, if you are in the palace, you should be able to know Qin Zheng's news sooner."

The emperor added another sentence.

Xie Jinhua did not deny it.

The relationship between Qin Zheng and her has never been concealed, nor can it be concealed.

Instead of doing some useless actions, it is better to be generous and not cover up.

-

Xie Jinhua stayed in the palace last night and attracted the attention of many people. The emperor stayed with her for a long time in the palace early this morning. Serving pens and inks in front of him is a big matter, and within half a day, most people in the court will know about it.

Not to mention inside the palace, some well-informed people outside the palace know about it.

No matter how heavy the rainstorm is, it can't stop those caring people.

Many people had heard of Xie Jinhua's reputation before, but they didn't take it to heart. Even if she saved someone in the racecourse last time, she gained some fame among the younger generations, no matter how much she had, she would not A lot of people care about it, but many real people think that Xie Jinhua's temperament is too arrogant and arrogant, and it's not the material of a mistress.

But now Xie Jinhua has not only received a word of praise from the emperor, but has also been made a royal female official by the emperor.

How important is that position, serving the emperor's pen and ink can not only stand out in front of the emperor, but also be able to get in touch with court affairs.

Some people couldn't help but move.

For example, to find out what Xie Jinhua had said to the emperor earlier.

For example, get acquainted with Xie Jinhua.

It's just that this time it was unexpected, Xie Jinhua stayed in the side hall of Qianyuan Hall all the time, and no one found out any news from there.

And after that, the emperor directly asked this female official who had not received much training to come to the imperial court to help sort out the papers and serve the pen and ink.

Xie Jinhua is just the daughter of a calligrapher, what does the emperor value about her?

"Achang, do you think His Majesty has any thoughts about Erniang Xie?"

The queen also sent people to inquire. Compared with others who did not find out anything, her people reported that Xie Jinhua actually read the emperor's book.

This can't help but make the queen worry.

The emperor's zhezi, let alone a female official from the third rank, even she, the queen, would not dare to move.

The queen's complexion is not very good-looking, if the emperor is interested, she is not that unvirtuous, just choose the imperial edict directly, why make such a move.

Because the empress wanted to tell Xie Jinhua to her nephew earlier, she became even more annoyed.

I think that Xie Jinhua might just use her as a springboard.

"Empress, this matter has not been decided yet. Who knows what the reason is. If His Majesty is interested, he directly summoned him into the palace last time at the racecourse. Why is it so troublesome to do so? The servant may look at it. There's something we don't know about."

What Chang Momo said did not reassure the queen.

"Send someone to inquire again, but I want to see why the daughter of a Shangshu family can be valued by His Majesty."

The queen lowered her eyes and gave orders to Chang Momo.

Since the position of a third-rank female official is not low, the emperor attaches even more importance to Xie Jinhua. She is a queen, so she can't be ignorant of everything in the palace.

-

The empress was overwhelmed by this matter, and another person in the palace was resentful about this matter, and that person was the concubine Duan.

Because of impulsiveness, she killed the little county king under Princess Yuan'an. These days, she has been worried about this matter. Fortunately, the maid who did it has dealt with it. Otherwise, she would have been implicated long ago. In this way, she has been cautious and dared not do anything in the past few days.

She didn't really harm the queen, but caused a lot of trouble. Concubine Duan didn't regret it, but Xie Jinhua, who caused her to be humiliated that day, won the emperor's attention and was awarded the position of a third-rank female official.

Concubine Duan is just a concubine, a concubine of the fifth rank, who has survived for so many years and gave birth to a princess, and has never been promoted, but Xie Jinhua is already a female official of the third rank, how can she bear it.

"This little slut, I don't know what kind of coquettish methods she used to confuse His Majesty, so that His Majesty is like this. She doesn't know the dignity, and her coquettish things can't make her feel better no matter what!"

The palace maid behind Concubine Duan looked at her, not daring to speak out, she just hoped that Concubine Duan would not involve the people around her again.

Outsiders don't know what's going on with Xiuyan who is next to Concubine Duan, don't they know about those who serve her personally?
It was Concubine Duan who acted foolishly and forced Xiuyan to kill Princess Yuan'an's son, but in the end, in order to protect herself, Xiuyan got drowned.

Xiuyan died, and the sister she left behind didn't get well either. Yesterday I heard that she died of a sudden illness.

No one wants to die, especially if they want to kill the people they care about when they are dying.

"Xiuye, come here."

No matter how much she wanted to escape, she couldn't bear Duan Concubine's intentions.

She turned around and glanced at the court lady who was desperately bowing her head: "Didn't the little prince say that the past few days have not been good? You go, find a way to let Xie Jinhua go to the place where the little prince is cultivated, and then find a way Make him seriously ill, no matter what you do, I will see the result in a few days."

A child in the palace is still weak, as long as he has the heart, he can always find opportunities.

As for whether a weak child can survive after a serious illness, that's not what Concubine Duan would consider.

Concubine Duan's eyes were full of viciousness: "The empress praised Xie Jinhua so much a few days ago, and she was also close to her. If she harmed the little county king, the empress will be involved this time."

Xiuye ​​looked at the sternness and threat in Duanbi's eyes, said nothing, bowed her head and said yes.

She seemed extremely obedient and docile, only she knew that after Concubine Duan gave the order, she had already made up her mind.

-

Xiuye ​​didn't go to look for Xie Jinhua first as Concubine Duan said, or go to the Taining Palace where the king of Xiaojun cultivated himself, but went to another place and met a man dressed as a servant.

"Miss Duan wants to deal with Miss Xie's family, and uses Miss Xie's hand to get rid of the little county king and lead the matter to Empress Empress."

Xiuye ​​betrayed Concubine Duan without hesitation.

"I will tell the master about this matter. You go back first. If the master has any orders, I will tell you. Don't act rashly."

The servant also knew how important the words contained in the other party's words were, so he explained to Xiu Ye, turned around and left.

Although Xie Jinhua didn't know the respective plans of Concubine Duan and the Empress, she also knew that since she took the position of the imperial court lady, she would definitely attract the attention of many people.

It's just that these are trivial things to her. Xie Jinhua originally thought that she was simply serving the pen and ink by the emperor's side, and helping the emperor to give advice when something happened.

Who knew, the emperor gave her some excerpts directly to read.

There are secret reports about disasters in various places, and there is also the matter of Suzakuwei.

Zhuquewei was attacked and killed less than [-] miles away from the capital. Suzakuwei suffered a lot of casualties, but all the assassins were killed, and no one was left alive. However, one of the assassins was recognized. The body of a bodyguard who worked in the prince's mansion was already on the way back to the capital. As for the bodies of other assassins, they were also placed nearby, waiting for the emperor to send someone to personally inspect and verify.

As for the remaining Suzaku Guards, they have also continued to go south.

Although Qin Zheng was a young man, he was one of the few who killed the most enemies. He suffered some minor injuries, but he was fine, and he followed Zhuquewei to the south.

The moment Xie Jinhua saw this excerpt, he felt his whole body lighten up.

As long as people are alive, it's fine.

As for whether the Fifth Prince was the one who intercepted Suzaku Guard, that's not what Xie Jinhua should care about now.

The emperor took a look at Xie Jinhua: "Your idea has already been decreed, and people will send it to various places quickly."

Xie Jinhua put down the booklet in his hand, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise, it's just this matter, my daughter still has a little opinion."

The emperor looked at her.

"Although the Vermilion Bird Guards represent His Majesty, there are only a small number of people. They cannot take care of conveying His Majesty's will one by one. Officials going to the embankment still need the assistance of troops stationed in various places."

Since you have to do it, do your best.

-

The King of Qi also knew about Xie Jinhua's appointment as a female official by the emperor.

He was a little surprised, but felt a little taken for granted.

Didn't Master Liao Kong just say that Xie Jinhua is blessed?
The other party is so smart and courageous, it's not surprising that he got such a position.

He was even pleasantly surprised, because Xie Jinhua was able to help him more than before.

There are too many things that can be known about the position of serving pen and ink next to the emperor, and it may not be possible to influence the emperor if he is valued.

Because of this, after hearing the movement of the concubine in the palace from his subordinates, King Qi was full of boredom and even a trace of anger.

"That stupid woman."

Concubine Duan, now he only has one idea to call her.

Back then, when he was sensible and gained some power of his own, he thought about placing someone in the palace, and he valued the concubine Duan. The other party was simple-minded, but he was favored by the emperor. As soon as he entered the palace, he was a concubine. look.

But who would have thought that later on, I don't know what stupidity that woman did, which offended the emperor, and she never moved her position again for more than ten years.

Not only did it not help him, but it caused him trouble.

"My lord, do you want the servant to inform the palace to find a way to stop the concubine Duan?"

The servant behind him asked in a low voice.

King Qi's hand was rubbing against the window, the wind and rain outside became more and more urgent, his eyes drooped, and a cold look flashed in his eyes: "No, don't stop it, just follow Duan Concubine's plan, but Yong'an You can only do it after returning to the palace, and let Yongan walk around with the fifth prince before returning to the palace."

Xie Jinhua is very good, such a useful woman who makes his heart move naturally should be in his arms as soon as possible, but Xie Jinhua is too arrogant, if he does not use some necessary means, it will not work.

Besides Xie Jinhua, King Qi has other plans.

With one Yong'an and one concubine, if he can achieve his multiple goals, then he has earned it.

Whatever he wanted, whether it was the person or the seat, he would get it no matter what.

King Qi raised his eyes, the darkness in his eyes was like a beast that wanted to choose someone to eat, full of greed and ferocity.
