Eunuch Yuan wanted to write it down, but when he turned around, the emperor said, "Wait a minute."
Eunuch Yuan looked back at the emperor.
Jing Mo Xuan
In the house, Su Tang was eating iced fruit and reading a book, feeling very comfortable.
Banxia brought tea into the room and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest young master of the Duke of Qi is here. He came alone today, and he walked through the main gate of the palace."
Normally, Prince Xin'an and the others would come together as three people, and most of the time they would climb over the wall to enter and exit. This time, only the young master Qi was the only one, and Banxia was not used to it.
When Su Tang heard Qi Xiao's arrival, Su Tang didn't react at all. He, Prince Xin'an and Mu Zhi were all frequent visitors to the Jingnan Palace. They usually came here when they had something to do, and they would come and sit there when nothing happened.
Su Tang showed up in Huidu, but Qi Xiao came alone, which was really strange to Su Tang.
She took a bite of the fruit, and Hongling came in from outside and said, "Prince Concubine, the Crown Prince wants you to go to the study."
Qi Xiao came to find her?
Su Tang guessed that it was about cutting a dagger out of iron.
Su Tang put down the half-eaten fruit, washed her hands, and went to the study.
Seeing Su Tang, Qi Xiao greeted Su Tang and Su Tang said, "You're here to see me?"
Qi Xiao felt ashamed and took out a banknote worth ten thousand taels from his arms and presented it to Su Tang respectfully.
Su Tang looked at Xie Boting, "What is this?"
Xie Boting didn't say anything, and Qi Xiao said, "Sister-in-law asked me to help, but it turned out that my father was unreliable. Not only was he unable to forge a dagger that is as sharp as clay, but he also used my sister-in-law's secret method of forging daggers without authorization. In order to achieve meritorious service, the emperor granted me
He gave me a lot of rewards, but my father felt really bad about it, so he asked me to give him ten thousand taels."
Xie Boting said, "I said no, but he insisted on giving it to you."
Su Tang smiled and said, "I already knew about this yesterday. It's a good thing that Uncle Qi can draw inferences from one instance and improve the court's weapons. Uncle Qi not only made meritorious deeds on his own, but also led me to make meritorious deeds. I should thank him."
How can I collect money from the Duke of Qi’s government?"
Qi Xiao said, "Brother Bai Ting and the prince didn't see the forging method, otherwise there would be nothing wrong with my father."
He still wanted to hand over the 10,000 taels of silver notes.
Can Su Tang accept it? Absolutely not, Su Tang said, "If you do this again, I will be angry. Uncle Qi is not doing it for personal gain. He is also doing it for the good of the court and the soldiers. The emperor will also remember my merits and give me money again."
, I won’t dare to ask you and uncle for help if I have anything to do in the future.”
Qi Xiao looked at Xie Boting, and Xie Boting said, "Take it back, we are all our own, why are you doing this to others?"
Su Tang refused to accept it and was almost angry. Xie Boting also asked him to take it back. What could Qi Xiao do? He had no choice but to take it back. He said, "There will be places where I can help in the future. Sister-in-law, please do me a favor."
Don't be polite to me."
"When have I ever been polite to you guys?" Su Tang said with a smile.
"..."
She had never been polite to them, and Xie Boting was even less likely to be polite to them.
Without interrupting their conversation in the study, Su Tang prepared to go back to the house. However, as soon as he left the study, a maid ran over and gasped, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent Eunuch Yuan to announce the decree, asking you to go to the outer courtyard immediately to receive the decree."
The maid spoke so loudly that Xie Boting and Qi Xiao in the study heard her.
Xie Boting came out and Su Tang looked at him, "Don't you save the credit? Why did you send Eunuch Yuan to announce the decree to me again?"
Her question to Xie Boting was definitely in vain. Xie Boting didn't know either. He said, "You can find out in the front yard."
