Chapter 1010: Rewards are Soft
Yuejin was the late empress dowager's favorite thing, and Emperor Xuan of Qi was absolutely right in saying that.
Empress Qi smiled and tried to please him, which made Emperor Xuan of Qi even happier.
Emperor Xuan of Qi's reward was soon delivered to the Shao family.
Twenty rolls of imperial brocade, three hundred taels of gold, and a pair of gold and jade ruyi.
The emperor's rewards were often just a gift, and it was rare to give so much to foreign officials at one time.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan thanked him for his grace and accepted it respectfully.
Soon, rewards from the Queen, Imperial Concubine Mei, Imperial Concubine De, and Concubine Wan also arrived.
The Empress was awarded a complete set of magnolia and crabapple head ornaments inlaid with pearls and gems, and two round fans made in the palace. Concubine Mei was awarded a pair of jade bracelets and a pair of pearl earrings. The other concubines were awarded one or two pieces of jewelry, or toys, and so on.
The Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine both gave rewards, so naturally the other concubines wanted to join in the fun.
Soon, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were also rewarded.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were overwhelmed with rewards.
These royal items, glittering with jewels and colorful embroidery, are enough to make one live a wealthy life for a lifetime.
If Qiao Xuan attended any banquet or party in the future, wearing clothes made of imperial brocade and jewelry awarded by the empress and imperial concubine, who among the wives of middle and lower-level officials would not be envious?
Even many of the marquis and earl's mansions that are already on the decline do not have such dignity!
No one knew about Yue Jin's affairs originally, but now it has really spread everywhere.
When all the Hanlin Academy scholars saw Shao Yunduan, they all came up to him, bowed and said "Congratulations!" with a smile. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they all had smiles and laughter.
The mood is not complicated
Look at other people’s wives and then look at your own wife, why is there such a big gap!
Is it because he is the top scholar that his wife is also so powerful?
Tsk, now I understand why Editor Shao would rather offend the Tian family than divorce his wife!
This daughter-in-law has made such great contributions, who would dare to mess with her?
Such generous rewards from the Emperor, the Empress, other ladies in the palace, and the Crown Prince - the three hundred taels of gold alone are enough for Shao Bianxiu and his wife to live in luxury in the capital for several years!
The Hanlin Academy is full of poor officials. Just look at Editor Shao!
Mrs. Lin and other people who were at the party that day were also depressed, jealous and envious!
How could Qiao, who is so arrogant and doesn't know the rules, have such good luck? It really makes people feel unhappy!
Especially the lady who told the gossip about the peonies in the palace. Thinking about it afterwards, Qiao Xuan went to the palace to take care of the peonies the day after the party. It was obvious that she didn't know the news at first, but heard it from me.
But she went into the palace without saying a word to take credit for it!
The more she thought about it, the more she felt dissatisfied. She felt that she should have some credit for this.
She couldn't help but tell her husband about it. He was also jealous and angry. He couldn't help but complain to her, "You should stop saying these things outside in the future! The ancients said that if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. It's true!"
If not for this, others wouldn't have gotten the benefit for nothing!
Editor Shao is so arrogant now that even the president of the academy looks at him differently! Who among the Hanlin scholars dares to offend him?
Especially Qiao Hongxi, when he saw him, he wanted to avoid him as much as possible.
The lady was also depressed, and finally couldn't help running to the Shao family's house and saying a lot of sour words to Qiao Xuan.
