The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 80 Being both a father and an emperor

The emperor's reward naturally had to be received by Xue Qingyin in person.

So the servants of the Xue family hurried to the Xu family to invite someone.

Xue Qingyin accepted the reward and thanked him.

She thought that the words in the emperor's oral order were getting more and more outrageous, such as "both blessed and wise" and "well-educated and well-mannered"?

None of them sounded like they had anything to do with her.

Xue Qingyin sent away the eunuch who delivered the oral order, and then directed the servants very skillfully: "Load them all on the carriage."

"Miss, you..." Butler Xue's face changed slightly, and he stepped forward hesitantly, "Why do you have to take all this to the Xu family?"

"Of course, I want to put it in front of my bed and appreciate it every day when I wake up."

Butler Xue choked and could only stumble and say: "This, this is a gift from the emperor. If you accidentally break it, you will be punished."

"Sister." Xue Qinghe's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

Xue Qingyin looked over and saw her stepping into the room. She looked a little haggard, and said awkwardly and uncomfortably: "Qiu Xin... has been expelled from the mansion."

Xue Qingyin responded with little interest: "Oh."

"I haven't congratulated you yet." Xue Qinghe said, but there was no envy in her eyes, but a trace of worry.

Xue Qinghe couldn't imagine how uncomfortable it would be to live with such a terrible person like King Xuan.

Xue Qinghe paused and asked again: "Is your sister doing well in the Xu family?" After asking, she felt regretful again. She was afraid that Xue Qingyin would think she was showing off.

Xue Qingyin nodded and said, "I'm living very comfortably."

The expression of Xue's housekeeper beside him could not hold back, and he could not help but say, "What are you talking about, young lady? After all, only your own home is comfortable."

Xue Qingyin immediately pointed at him and said, "Look, I'm the master, and you have to refute every word I say. How can I live comfortably in the Xue family with such disrespect for the superior and the inferior?"

The housekeeper Xue was embarrassed, and he dared not speak at all.

Xue Qingyin took the things and left, but did not exchange too many pleasantries with Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe watched her walk away, and when he came to his senses, he heard Xue's housekeeper ask, "Second young lady, how are you today?"

Xue Qinghe couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling the pressure of being tested.

She whispered, "The business of Lingxiu Pavilion is still not improving, and the tea house is not improving. Moreover..." Xue Qinghe suppressed her embarrassment and said, "The manager is unwilling to obey me."

Butler Xue had no choice but to teach her, "Young lady should show the momentum of the master's family and establish your authority."

Xue Qinghe was even more embarrassed: "I have established it."

Now Butler Xue didn't know what to say, and could only sigh in a low voice: "That's because the second young lady has too good a temper..."

While talking, Xue Chengdong came back.

Butler Xue left Xue Qinghe and hurried to talk to the master.

"Xue Qingyin is back?" Xue Chengdong frowned.

"Yes, she left again. She left with the things rewarded by His Majesty." Butler Xue didn't forget to add the second half of the sentence.

Xue Chengdong's face turned cold: "What does she think of this place? A transit station?"

Butler Xue thought it was very likely, but he didn't dare to say it.

He even imagined in his mind every time after that, the eldest young lady came to take the things and left...then, the Xue family would become a joke in the whole capital, right?

Even...even thinking deeper, the master and the eldest girl are not in harmony, but His Majesty still rewards the eldest girl and praises her for being well-educated and well-mannered. How can this be possible in the world? If it were another girl, her marriage would have been ruined!

Does this mean... His Majesty is already dissatisfied with the master?

Butler Xue did not dare to think further and could only speak hesitantly: "Hasn't the eldest girl been afraid of the old master since she was a child?"

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe on the side couldn't help but shudder.

And Xue Chengdong didn't say anything else, no one knew what he was thinking.

Xue Qingyin returned to the Xu family and first put out the reward, allowing the Xu family to take a closer look.

He Songning couldn't help twitching at the corners of his mouth, thinking that she was really ostentatious.

"You haven't even entered the mansion yet, aren't you afraid that the higher-ups will see your behavior and change their minds halfway?"

Xue Qingyin shook her head when she heard the voice: "Hey, what are you talking about, brother? Why did the imperial edict have to be considered again and again before it was released? It's because the emperor has spoken and it can't be taken back. If the order is changed every day, how can it be? Even if I tell them now that I can't have children and I have some quirks that ruin the family, it will be too late for them to regret it."

He Songning: "..."

Xue Qingyin looked at the Xu family and said: "Besides, instead of pretending not to care, it's just a little gift from the emperor, what's the big deal. It's better to let them take a closer look, take a look, feel awe in their hearts, and know that I am someone who cannot be offended. From now on, won't my life in the Xu family be more prosperous?"

He Songning was speechless, but he had no way to refute.

There was even a moment when a thought flashed through his mind quickly-if Xue Qinghe had half of her arrogance, she should also live happier.

But then he thought again, what he liked was Xue Qinghe's innocence.

Wait until everyone over there has finished appreciating.

Xue Qingyin waved her hand and ordered people to put it away and carry it into Xinyi Pavilion.

The Xu family came to their senses and walked up to Xue Qingyin to talk to her, and their tone became more cautious.

He Songning had nothing to say.

She really achieved her goal.

Now it was Xue Qingyin's turn to ask He Songning: "Why don't you leave, brother?"

He Songning asked her: "Where do you want me to go?"

Xue Qingyin was puzzled.

Are you in your rebellious period?

But she still said hypocritically: "Hey, aren't I worried about my elder brother Chun Wei's failure?"

She felt that He Songning could be a little more rebellious, so she looked up at him again and said with great earnestness: "Brother, I must win the top prize. This way I will be able to walk sideways in the future and show off my power. Who can match me? Big brother still has to do something Guan'er! The bigger the official, the better! Brother, please work hard towards the prime minister!"

He Songning almost made her laugh angrily.

"Second Master." The boy's voice sounded weakly, "Someone from the Xue family is here."

Now the head of the Xu family is mostly Xu Qi.

Xu Qi wondered: "Didn't you come back just now? Why are you here again?" His face lit up: "Oh, is there another reward?"

But the boy's face dropped: "Where is the reward? It's the Xue family from my uncle's family."

Xu Qi's expression changed, and at that moment, the suffocating feeling that had enveloped his head returned again.

The Xue family's family background was nothing in the eyes of the emperor, but it was nothing to the Xu family.

The Xu family also thought about currying favor with their uncle's family in order to make themselves better off.

However, none of the Xue family were easy to get along with. In front of them, the Xu family felt panicked, their legs were trembling, and they were speechless.

Gradually, the Xu family no longer dared to interact with each other more.

Xu Qi thought that this was probably the kind of momentum only an official could have.

So he was still thinking about buying an official job for the Xu family...

Xu Qi sighed, his face even more depressed than the boy's, and said: "Let's go, we have to go out to greet you."

The boy said: "They just came to see my cousin."

Mrs. Xue came after hearing the news and sneered: "I only see Qingyin? You just want to be a junior, right?"

The boy added, "Before I finish speaking, the carriage came again that day."

Xu Qi asked: "What day was it?"

"...Of course I'm here to see Qingyin." Mrs. Xue was a little smarter than her brother now.

Xu Qi suddenly realized it, and then ran into trouble: "Then, who should Qing Yin go to see first?"

Mrs. Xue gave a rare smile: "It's quite interesting."

"Where's the fun?"

Mrs. Xue said: "Have you ever seen the Xue family suffer from boredom?"

Xu Qi shook his head.

Mrs. Xue: "We can see it today."

The group of people then walked towards the gate.

Xue Qingyin was in front, and the others were behind, keeping a distance.

"The eldest girl is out." Beside the Xue family's carriage, the servant was talking to the people in the carriage.

Du Hongxue was also talking to King Xuan in that room: "Here he comes."

But after they finished speaking, they soon discovered that Xue Qingyin was standing motionless at the door.

"What's going on? Where is the person?" The older woman in the carriage frowned.

She is Xue Qingyin's aunt and married to Dongxing Hou. Naturally, he has some status in the Xue family.

Even though she is married, most of the girls in the Xue family are disciplined by her. To the Xue family, the daughter-in-law is an outsider after all.

I saw Du Hongxue walking up to Xue Qingyin, bowing and asking: "What's wrong, girl?"

Du Hongxue secretly muttered, isn't it because His Highness doesn't understand the charm of the girl that the girl is unhappy?

Xue Qingyin pointed to the Xue family's carriage.

She said nothing.

But Du Hongxue showed a look of sudden realization and immediately said: "Drive them away now."

Someone is here, so Miss Xue is naturally embarrassed to meet His Highness privately.

Du Hongxue didn't ask who that person was because there was no need to ask.

Except for the emperor, no one could make King Xuan fear him.

Du Hongxue waved to summon a few people.

They were all dressed in casual clothes, but they had a strong military aura about them.

"Go and drive away the man in the carriage."

Several people took the order and walked straight over.

The servant in that compartment couldn't help but raise his voice: "Someone is here, but it's not a big girl. It's... a few strong men."

"What?" Aunt Xue lifted the car curtain.

Those people quickly arrived in front of them and said in a deep voice: "When your nobles are traveling, please stay two streets away."

Aunt Xue sneered and said, "I am Mrs. Dongxinghou, how can you be rude?"

But the other party's expression remained unchanged, and without speaking to her at all, she directly kicked the coachman off, grabbed the reins, and steered the carriage to turn around and leave.

"Crazy, crazy!" Aunt Xue was so angry that she blocked the door and shouted sternly: "You Xu family are so brave!"

Most of the people in the army were rude and whipped their horses' buttocks.

The horse's hooves raised and the carriage shook.

Aunt Xue sat down and squatted inside.

The Xu family members opened the door behind and watched quietly, and couldn't help laughing.

Xue Qingyin then slowly moved her steps and came to King Xuan's carriage.

She said: "Your Highness keeps his word."

King Xuan's voice also sounded: "Did you get the reward?"

Xue Qingyin said in surprise: "His Royal Highness knows things like a god. But why is Your Majesty so happy suddenly?"

"Father, I am both father and emperor." King Xuan said calmly.

Xue Qingyin was a little surprised. Can she hear this? She didn't expect that King Xuan would explain it to her seriously.

"When a son is too powerful, he becomes the emperor." King Xuan finished.

Xue Qingyin thought, so when King Xuan showed weakness, the emperor became his father again. Naturally, he treated her with more compassion than Aiwujiwu.

King Xuan turned to his voice and said: "Taichang Temple has combined your and my horoscopes. Your horoscopes are not very good."

Xue Qingyin thought that was quite accurate. The original person's fate was so miserable, how could the horoscope be good?

Just... "Your Majesty won't be angry about this?"

I only heard King Xuan continue: "Your fate is not good, ... and so is this king."

It seems to be comforting her.
