The young couple who have been separated for a year are like newlyweds. They have been passionate all night, and they are willing to fall asleep almost until dawn, completely forgetting that there is an important event to be done the next day.

Sima Boyi didn't wait for the two of them early in the morning, and it was inconvenient to wake him up in person, so he had to wait outside the courtyard to send Rachel to do this matter.

Rachel was also a little guilty. In the past, when the lady was sleeping with the general, she basically would not come to knock on the door. Most of the time, she waited for the general to wake up before she dared to wake the lady up.

Today is also a last resort, after all, the master gave the order.

Rachel plucked up the courage to knock on the door, but there was no response, and she knocked again, saying, "Miss, General, it's time to get up, the master said that he will be late soon."

"Understood, get up immediately." The person who responded inside was Shen Zhaoxue, and Rachel was relieved when she heard that it was the young lady, and hurriedly returned to report to the master that the task had been completed.

Shen Zhaoxue was about to get up, when a big hand suddenly came over to stop her, "Why go?"

"Didn't the master say last night that the emperor summoned us into the palace? Get up quickly, it won't be good if you are late."

Sima Yun hugged her waist tightly, "I don't remember."

"Hurry up, be obedient, I'll get up first." After Shen Zhaoxue finished speaking, she got out of bed alone, and Sima Yun had no choice but to follow suit.

After quickly tidying up and eating two bites of breakfast in a hurry, the group of three entered the palace in a carriage, not daring to delay for a moment.

Speaking of which, this is the second time for Shen Zhaoxue to enter the palace, and it is still so majestic, magnificent and resplendent.

The officials sent by the prime minister had put on a bitter face all morning, as if they had expected it, they were frowning and unable to smile.

Sima Boyi smiled and greeted everyone cordially from the moment he entered the hall, while introducing Shen Zhaoxue, the "daughter-in-law" who rarely showed up.

"Isn't it just about being rewarded? What's so great about it?"

"Look at that old man Sima, he's really annoying."

"..." Of course, there must be all kinds of gossip and jealous people behind the scenes.

There was a lot of noise in the court, and it didn't calm down until the emperor came. Xiao Qi was as vigorous as ever, after all, she was still a very young emperor, so she couldn't help but give people a feeling of vitality.

"All the lovers are here."

"Long live my emperor." Everyone saluted and bowed in unison, including Shen Zhaoxue, who did not dare to neglect at all.

Xiao Qi glanced down, and her eyes easily stayed on Shen Zhaoxue, and said with a smile, "All lovers are welcome."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then Xiao Qi looked at Sima Boyi, "Sima Aiqing, your son has made great contributions to our dynasty, and I will reward him well today."

Sima Boyi replied humbly, "Don't dare to act, it's her honor that Quanzi can kill the enemy and defend the territory for the country."

Xiao Qi didn't take it seriously, and said, "There is also your daughter-in-law, and I will reward her too."

After the words fell, there was an uproar in the court, and everyone didn't quite understand what a woman's family has to do with awards.

Only then did Xiao Qi reveal the reason. A war broke out just one year after he took the throne, and he had just given amnesty to the world to reduce and exempt taxes. Only by doing good deeds with the neighbors on the street can we overcome this disaster.

At this time, Xiao Qi asked those officials who had doubts about this. When the disaster happened, there were refugees everywhere in the city. Where did they go?

Everyone fell silent.

"Since Sima Yun is now the highest official among military officers, I will confer on him a first-class title, ten fertile fields, a hundred acres of gold and silver in his mansion." As soon as the words came out, everyone present couldn't help but gasp. Come on, isn't Sima Yun sitting on an equal footing with the prime minister? Just as everyone was whispering and discussing, Xiao Qi announced another reward.

"Give the general's wife, Shen Zhaoxue, a first-class imperial lady, and ten boxes of gold and silver ten thousand taels of jewelry."

Hearing this, even Sima Boyi sighed a little in his heart. This time His Majesty has really put a lot of money into rewarding him. He thought it would be about the same to reward Zhaoxue's child with five or six grades at most. Unexpectedly... it is still One product.

Although Madam Gaoming is also known as the imperial wife, and her salary has no real power, but her status is there, and all civil and military officials have to respect her three points.

This time, their Sima family turned around completely and won the battle.

The big forces influenced by the prime minister must undergo another major reshuffle, and there may be many people coming to join him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift!"

Xiao Qi smiled at her, very kindly, "Work hard, keep working hard, and set a good example for the wives and daughters of other civil and military officials."

After coming down, the prime minister's face turned green with anger, he ignored anyone who spoke, and hurried out of the palace.

Someone patted Shen Qiwen on the back from behind, "Master Shen, why are you walking so fast, I didn't even have time to congratulate you, what a joy to congratulate."

"What's gratifying, what's so congratulatory." Shen Qiwen scowled at the man with a sullen face, and walked away depressed.

He has been hanging around with the prime minister, but in the end his daughter got a reward from her arch-rival, this time it made the prime minister even more unhappy, so how could he be happy.

On the other side, Sima Boyi was treated very differently.

"Master Sima is really happy to congratulate. When will you invite everyone to have a meal to celebrate?"

"That's right, for such a big matter as a knighthood, there must be a family banquet."

"Master Sima, congratulations!"

All of a sudden, even people who usually don't like to talk to him came over, and Sima Yun replied one by one, "I will definitely invite everyone to have a drink at that time, thank you all."

Sima Yun didn't like this kind of occasion, so he dragged Shen Zhaoxue out of the palace a long time ago. Shen Zhaoxue didn't quite understand sitting in the car and asked her, "The general doesn't seem very happy."

"It's not a good thing." Sima Yun replied.

"Why?" Shen Zhaoxue asked with her head tilted.

Sima Yun also tilted his head to keep in line with her, and patiently explained, "Because this way I will be imprisoned even more tightly. I understand, you little idiot."

Shen Zhaoxue thought for a long time before she seemed to understand and nodded. Could it be that the general desires more freedom in his heart?Rather than fame and fortune.

Shen Qiwen came back from court, and without saying a word, it was obvious that he was not well.

Meng Xianglan was eager to know the result again, so she kept asking in her ear, and finally Shen Qiwen yelled impatiently, "Sima Yun was conferred a first-class title, and Zhao Xue was conferred a first-class wife. Now Sima Boyi and his family are all prosperous, you Satisfied."

"It's not caused by me, why are you yelling at me?" Meng Xianglan knew she was bored, so she stopped talking to her.

The news of the morning quickly reached Shen Zhaoan's ears, and she was going crazy when she heard it. Why did Shen Zhaoxue get all the benefits alone, and she!Why does the daughter of the Shen family have to sit on the bench.

"Xindong, where did Xindong die!"

"Your Majesty, I'm here, here." Xindong hurried in from the outside.

Shen Zhaoan was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and his teeth were gritted loudly, "Go and invite my mother into the palace, saying that the palace has important matters to discuss, go!"

"Yes, yes." Xindong was trembling with fright, this aunt was really non-stop all day long.
