Chapter 87 Spring is coming
He continued to ask, "What if she uses her own chopsticks to feed the other person?"
Ling Feng's eyes suddenly widened: "Master, who is it? Who is so bold?"
I think that man must be crazy. He actually dared to feed his master. Could it be that he was tired of living too long?
Xie Lingxiao roared: "You answer."
Ling Feng touched his head and said, "Master, I have no experience either."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Lingxiao wanted to grit his teeth and say, "Next month's money will be deducted as well."
"Master, I have experience. She must like you and want to marry you soon." Ling Feng had an idea and blurted out the words.
Xie Lingxiao's mouth corners quickly raised: "Is that so? Then do you think I'm old?"
Ling Feng shook his head vigorously: "Not old, the master looks like fifteen or sixteen years old."
"Really?" Xie Lingxiao touched his face in disbelief: "Well, I'll give you a month's worth of silver as a reward, go and claim it."
"Thank you, master." Ling Feng bowed and nodded to express his gratitude, then left with light steps and a dizzy head.
It turns out that his master likes to hear such words. Can't he hear such insincere words?
He smiled so hard that his teeth were showing and walked with a cocky gait to go to the housekeeper to get the silver.
The next morning, Xie Lingxiao got up early and did something unprecedented.
It was the first time in twenty-three years that he went to the closet to look through his clothes. The more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.
His closet was filled with dark-colored clothes, which looked rather dull when put on, and there was not a single piece of clothing as elegant as Yun Qingmo's.
When Ling Feng entered the room, Xie Lingxiao stood there motionless. He walked over curiously and asked, "Master, what are you looking at?"
He looked up at the sunlight outside. If someone didn't know, they would think the sun was rising from the west today.
Xie Lingxiao said unhappily: "Lingfeng, who prepared these clothes?"
"It's the butler. Didn't you ask the butler to prepare this according to your request?"
"Go and ask the housekeeper to prepare white clothes. I want to wear white clothes when I enter the palace today." Xie Lingxiao said unnaturally.
"..." Ling Feng looked at Xie Lingxiao and didn't know how to start.
After Xie Lingxiao gave the instructions, he felt much better. He turned around and saw Ling Feng still standing there, and became a little displeased.
"Lingfeng, why don't you go quickly?" Xie Lingxiao urged.
"Master, have you made up your mind? Are you sure you want to wear white?"
Xie Lingxiao could no longer bear it, so he kicked him out: "You dare to question me? Go, get the kind that Young Master Yun wears."
Ling Feng was a little confused. Was his master ill? But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go find the housekeeper.
Xie Lingxiao was busy for two hours, and by the time he had packed up and was ready to go out, the sun was already high in the sky.
Shen Jingxuan waited in front of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion according to the time yesterday, and waited for more than an hour.
Chun Tao was looking at the distance and said, "Miss, do you think the Regent is not going to enter the palace today? What time is it now?"
Shen Jingxuan teased, "You are more anxious than your young lady? Is there something on your mind?"
"I just think you've been waiting for too long. It's already been an hour and a half."
"Maybe he was entangled by the beautiful girls in the mansion before leaving, so he went back to coax his woman." Shen Jingxuan made up a story.
Chun Tao took it seriously: "Why did you do that? You didn't even tell me. The young lady has been waiting here all this time."
Just after she finished speaking, she looked up and saw the carriage slowly approaching. She reached back to pull Shen Jingxuan: "Miss, here we come."
When Shen Jingxuan looked up, Xie Lingxiao happened to walk out of the carriage. He was wearing a white brocade robe, his hair tied up with a jade hairpin, and he was standing beside the carriage in an elegant manner.
The corners of her mouth twitched. Could it be that Xie Lingxiao was crazy today? This action really shocked her. She always felt that he was weird today.
Looking at his outfit today, for some reason, Shen Jingxuan always felt that Xie Lingxiao was not mentally normal.
Could it be that something happened to him recently? Otherwise, how could a person change so much?
She lowered her head and walked past him and got into the carriage directly. However, Xie Lingxiao stood there in a daze, and instantly felt uncomfortable all over.
The two of them sat in the carriage, and Xie Lingxiao glanced at Shen Jingxuan from time to time, which made Shen Jingxuan feel uncomfortable.
She looked at Xie Lingxiao: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you dithering?"
"Nothing." Xie Lingxiao lowered his head and no longer looked at Shen Jingxuan.
I thought I would see other expressions on Shen Jingxuan's face, but after being busy all morning, she didn't even look at me.
He sighed silently in his heart. He had been so exhausted this morning that it made him feel even worse.
Shen Jingxuan looked at him strangely. What was going on? She had been waiting for more than an hour, but he was still not happy.
When the two arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, the Emperor and the Empress had already arrived. Shen Jingxuan performed her ceremony and stood aside.
The emperor looked at Shen Jingxuan with a smile: "Miss Shen's medical skills are really amazing. She actually cured the Queen Mother's illness."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind to praise me. I don't deserve it." Shen Jingxuan replied with her head down.
"Miss Shen is too modest."
The emperor turned around and asked, "Brother, how do you think we should reward Miss Shen?"
Xie Lingxiao pretended not to care: "I think Miss Shen has made great contributions, so why not just grant her the title of a princess?"
"Secondly, her father died on the battlefield, which means he has made great contributions. This move shows the emperor's great grace and compassion for the orphans, and the other soldiers will not be disheartened."
His words actually elevated the emperor to a higher level, leaving him with no choice.
The Queen did not want Shen Jingxuan to have an easy time: "Your Majesty, I think it is a bit too much to grant Miss Shen the title of Princess. It is just for the Queen Mother's treatment, so there is no need to make a fuss. Just give her some gold and silver as a reward."
Xie Lingxiao laughed: "The Queen is right, it's no big deal."
"Then do you know that the Emperor values filial piety? I wonder if even curing the Queen Mother's illness can be a simple reward. Will it be talked about in front of the ministers?"
The queen felt uneasy after hearing Xie Lingxiao's words. When the emperor was still the prince, she married into the prince's mansion.
When the emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he advocated was to put filial piety first, and he himself always set an example, fearing that any mistake would affect his reputation among the ministers.
Her words just now were a little hasty, but she didn't expect that the regent, who was usually taciturn, would be so talkative at this moment.
The Queen smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. How dare a minister talk about the Emperor's affairs?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers all know that you value filial piety and will not talk about you in private."
The emperor looked at her calmly and asked, "What do you think the queen should reward me with?"
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, the queen became bolder: "Your Majesty, why not reward her with ten thousand taels of silver? The general who guards the country is no longer here, and I believe Miss Shen is in even greater need of silver."
Shen Jingxuan was in need of silver? How could she, the half-master of Qianyu Chamber of Commerce, be in need of her ten thousand taels of silver? It was a joke.
It’s a pity that as a queen, Lu Wenxi actually used silver to insult a weak woman.
Xie Lingxiao sneered: "The Queen's reward is indeed extraordinary. This minister also thinks it is good."
He turned to look at the emperor: "Brother, the queen is really considerate of you. Not only did she save the title, but she also saved you a lot of money."
The emperor's face turned pale at this time, and he glared at the queen: "Is this what you think? Do you still have me in your eyes? Have you ever considered me?"
