Chapter 1344: The news has spread outside
The emperor was very pleased and praised the prince highly and gave him many rewards.
The prince has always been a kind person, so he would not forget the contributions of Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan. Moreover, everyone outside praised the princess and attributed the credit to her, which made the prince somewhat happy. Praising the princess was like praising him.
Besides, the rumor had already spread outside, and it would be difficult for him to come out and refute it, bringing shame to his Crown Princess.
Therefore, he felt even more guilty.
I feel a little sorry for Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan.
Especially when he saw that Shao Yunduan was still working for him tirelessly and wholeheartedly without any complaints or dissatisfaction, the prince naturally had to appease and reward him greatly.
Although the Crown Princess had rewarded Qiao Xuan, he had to give Shao Yunduan another reward.
There were one gold and one jade ruyi, two new books made by the emperor, one hundred sheets of tribute paper, two large, medium and small purple and goat-hair brushes, a She inkstone, a pair of imperial ink sticks, an imperial pen holder, two scrolls of famous calligraphy and paintings, a pair of folding fans painted by famous artists of the previous dynasty, six jade pendants, and a pair of emerald jade rings.
These supplies coming out of the East Palace are naturally of the highest quality. In the eyes of scholars, these things are priceless treasures.
The prince probably thought so too, so he ordered his people to select only this kind of utensils.
Qiao Xuan thought to herself, if this fell into the hands of someone like Qiao Hongxi, he would probably go crazy with joy!
Her husband won't be crazy, but he will definitely like it.
Since she had personally accepted the reward today, it was probably time for her to recover from her "illness". In the afternoon, Qiao Xuan dressed up and took Li Qiu to the East Palace to thank her for the reward.
Let’s talk about yesterday. Aunt Liang returned to the East Palace to report to the Crown Princess.
When the Crown Princess heard that Qiao Xuan hadn't woken up yet, she immediately became angry and asked Aunt Fu, "Does Qiao have any complaints about me?"
What "illness"? The Crown Princess naturally wouldn't believe a word of it.
Whether actively or passively, it was true that she had taken away most of the credit from Qiao Xuan. She felt a little guilty and thought that Qiao Xuan pretended to be sick on purpose to express her dissatisfaction with her.
Aunt Fu quickly laughed and said, "The Crown Princess may be overthinking. Qiao is not from the capital, and she doesn't have an elder who cares about her. How can she know the rules?"
According to convention, Qiao Xuan has made a contribution, so the Eastern Palace will definitely reward her. If she knew these unspoken rules, Qiao Xuan should have been ready to receive rewards at home for several days after the banquet.
It is really wrong to sleep until noon.
But how could Qiao Xuan know about the unspoken rules among the powerful officials in Beijing?
This made the Crown Princess remember this in her heart.
The Crown Princess thought about her background and sneered, "What Mammy said does make sense. I hope it's true!"
Otherwise, this would be too much of a temper.
"That must be the case," Aunt Fu said with a smile, "I am quite good at judging people. I don't think Madam Shao is that frivolous. How could she not know what is good for her? I will ask her indirectly later. If she doesn't understand anything, I think I should teach her. Otherwise, don't be rude in the future. It will also make Master Shao look bad."
After hearing what Mammy Fu said, she decided that Qiao Xuan was innocent because she didn't know. The Crown Princess felt better and nodded, "Mammy, go ask her."
