Chapter 1274 She Didn’t Reward
After the thousand-year-old corpse qi was purified, it was buried far away along with the incense ashes.
"We don't want that incense burner anymore. Tell the young monk in the ancestral temple to replace it with a new one." The emperor floated over.
He really disliked the incense burner.
Lu Zhaoling chuckled. "Then the emperor can go to the palace and pick a new one himself."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll go to the Emperor's storehouse to pick one."
"I will report this to the emperor in the palace," Zhou Shiyue said, "He must know about this."
"It's his duty! Ask for a reward for that young master!" the emperor said again.
"You guys go ahead. I'm fully refreshed now." Lu Zhaoling waved her hand.
She still wanted to wait for news from Junior Brother Lu at home.
Zhou Shiyue entered the palace carrying the incense burner, and at the same time asked someone to bring the leader of the ancestral temple and the three young monks into the palace as well.
Sizhen and Jiechi were brought into the palace and were a little nervous.
When the emperor heard Zhou Shiyue say this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
He was really scared to death!
Thousand-year-old corpse qi?! And it was coming for the ruler of his country, the True Dragon Emperor!
Saving the world is not as important as saving him now!
The emperor was quite kind when he saw Sizhen and Jiechi.
reward!
This must be rewarded handsomely!
So, when Jie Chi came out of the palace, he felt dizzy and felt like he was dreaming.
"Little monk who protects the country?"
He murmured.
Si Zhen and his senior brother next to them looked at each other and laughed.
"Yes, little brother, the emperor has just appointed you as the young monk who protects the country."
He also rewarded each of them with a cassock decorated with gems and embroidered with gold thread, a string of hundred-year-old red sandalwood Buddhist beads, and treated them to a vegetarian meal.
The junior brother also has a token that allows him to enter the palace at any time, and the emperor also gave him a jade pendant.
From now on, whoever sees my junior brother in the capital must bow to him and respectfully call him "little monk"?
Although monks are free from all attachments, they should not care about these empty names and worldly rituals.
But they are still children!
What's wrong with the child being happy?
Uh, Sizhen really thought about it, this concept was also instilled in them by Donor Lu.
How does he remember it so well and learn it so quickly?
Jie Chi looked at them blankly, feeling a little sad.
"What's wrong?" Si Zhen and his senior brother looked at each other, somewhat puzzled. Are you not happy with such a reward?
"Do you feel that you are not worthy of this reward?" the senior brother asked Jie Chi.
Jie Chi shook his head, "No. It's because Donor Lu didn't give any reward."
He felt sad for Mr. Lu.
The purse and the silver were handled by Donor Lu. If he was given such a large reward, it should be given to Donor Lu.
But just now the emperor seemed to have forgotten about Mr. Lu.
The donor, Prince Jin, said it several times, but the emperor just laughed it off.
He could see that the donor, Prince Jin, was angry.
If she goes back and tells Mr. Lu that she didn’t get any reward, will she cry?
"Brother, I want to give the jade pendant to Mr. Lu." Jie Chi said, and carefully took out an oil paper bag from his arms, "and this."
"what is this?"
Jie Chi swallowed his saliva, "Didn't I just say that the spring shredded vegetables at the banquet were delicious? When I came out, Eunuch Qin stuffed me with this packet, which contained three pieces. I'll give it to Donor Lu too."
This is so delicious!
Even though he was full, he still drooled at the smell.
He really wanted to eat it, but thinking that Donor Lu was so pitiful, he decided to give it to her.
It’s a pity that Donor Lu doesn’t wear a cassock, otherwise he could give it to her.
The senior brother couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"Little Junior Brother, you can't give the Emperor's gift to Mr. Lu. And you crushed this three-thread spring silk. Do you really want to give it to Mr. Lu?"
Their senior brother was not jealous of his junior brother for receiving so much reward.
He was the one who took the thing and almost caused a disaster. Fortunately, his junior fellow apprentice could see the problem.
It was good enough that the emperor did not punish him, and he even received a reward. He should be grateful to his junior brother.
"Ah? What should we do?"
"It's okay. If Mr. Lu wants it, he will come and ask for it himself." Si Zhen felt that Mr. Lu would be of such a personality.
"And the donor, the King of Jin, will also help her. Let's quickly take the incense burner back to the ancestral temple."
Just now, the emperor also asked someone to pick out another incense burner for them, so that they could take it back to the ancestral temple and burn incense to the emperor.
When they left, the emperor was coaxing Zhou Shiyue.
"Ayue, it's not that I don't want to reward Lu Zhaoling, it's just that she just received so many rewards, the gold medal of immunity from death and the imperial sword, the court officials are already jealous, and now she is rewarded again just one day later, won't that make her jealous?"
"I remember it, really. I remember her contribution. Whenever I have the chance, I will definitely reward her handsomely."
"Haven't many people from the Xuanmen sect come to the capital recently? If Lu Zhaoling becomes too popular, she might make enemies. So, we should keep the matter of the ancestral temple under control for now. What do you think?"
Zhou Shiyue actually thought so before entering the palace.
But this didn't stop him from taking the opportunity to throw a tantrum.
In the end, she extorted 10,000 taels from the emperor, which was considered as the payment for her drawing so many talismans to purify the corpse qi that had been there for thousands of years, without mentioning any reward.
After taking ten thousand taels, he snorted, turned his sleeves and went to the East Palace.
Let the emperor take a nap and meet his father.
Zhou Shiyue went to the East Palace and talked with the prince for half an hour before leaving.
After coming out, he leaned against the carriage, thinking.
"Your Highness, are we going back to Huai Garden?" Qing Feng asked.
Zhou Shiyue came back to his senses and said, "Yeah."
Qinglin winked at Qingfeng: "Your Highness is now "returning" to Huaiyuan, not the palace? This is like marrying into the wife's family."
Qing Feng: If you have the guts, just say it.
Qinglin shut up.
He didn't say anything because he was afraid of being punished.
Zhou Shiyue leaned back in the car and closed his eyes. He recalled the conversation he had just had with the prince.
The prince wants to choose a concubine, and he should take part in the selection.
As a result, the prince told him frankly that he had already asked Lin Yanran what she thought and was still waiting for her answer.
He analyzed with the prince whether Lin Yanran was suitable to be the crown princess, but during the conversation, he keenly discovered that the prince did not really love Lin Yanran.
But, he had clearly said before that he had someone he liked.
When he asked again now, the prince denied it and just said it was just an assumption at the time.
Is it hypothetical that he wouldn't be able to tell the difference?
There is only one possibility, the person the prince liked at the beginning, he no longer likes her now.
who?
This question lingered in his mind and was difficult to shake off.
When they arrived at Huaiyuan, there was still no news from Lu Song and the others.
"Eldest Sister has fallen asleep." Rong Jingjing said to Zhou Shiyue, "Someone from the palace said that many people have sent gifts to the palace, and there are a few letters that may need to be dealt with by the prince as soon as possible. They asked when the prince will return."
"I will be back soon."
Zhou Shiyue handed the 10,000 taels silver note to Rong Jingjing, "Give this to her, the emperor paid for it."
Rong Jingjing took it. Who else could ask the emperor for a debt? Only the Prince of Jin.
