Qin Yishu: "..."
Small-minded! After complaining in his mind for almost a hundred times, Qin Yishu finally cleared his throat and said, "He Aiqing, what you said makes sense. Seeking favors and rewards for your wife is what a husband should do."
"Since Mr. He is so sincere and affectionate, I will grant your wish and confer the title of First Rank Consort on Princess Ping'an!"
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor." He Yanxiu knelt down to express his gratitude.
Seeing He Yanxiu so happy, Qin Yishu couldn't help but smile, "This is a reward for your contribution. There has been no reward for Princess Ping'an yet."
"Princess Ping'an has made outstanding contributions at the border this time. In addition to being rewarded with a certain amount of gold and silver, and a number of rare medicinal herbs, I have granted her the title of Princess Ping'an to be hereditary for three generations as a token of my grace."
In other words, as long as Su Yujin gave birth to a daughter, after she passed away a hundred years later, her daughter could inherit the title of Princess Ping'an instead of being downgraded.
This is the second time such an honor has been bestowed upon this dynasty.
The previous example is the daughter of General Yuan, a founding general. She was awarded this honor because of her repeated military achievements and loyalty to the country.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Yujin thanked him respectfully.
…
The reward and punishment process took almost half a day, and by the time everything was settled, it was already noon.
Qin Yishu invited everyone to have lunch together in the palace.
The men dined with Qin Yishu in Chongyang Palace, while the female members went to the Queen's Palace, where they were entertained by the Queen and accompanied by the Fifth Princess.
Lu Wenjing has often walked in the palace since she was a child. Because of her relationship with the He family, she has a very close relationship with the Queen and is also very familiar with the Fifth Princess.
There is no need to say anything about Su Yujin, because the Queen dotes on He Yanxiu and likes her personality very much, and the two of them get along very well.
However, since Su Yun was entering the palace for the first time and also meeting the Empress for the first time, he was inevitably a little reserved and unfamiliar.
But even so, Su Yunruo always had a faint smile on her face, and her behavior was dignified and generous, very in accordance with the rules. She was in no way inferior to those young ladies who often came to the palace to pay homage.
When the queen saw Su Yunruo like this, her smile became even more pronounced. When they sat down to the table, she took her hand and let her sit next to her.
"When you arrive at the palace, you should treat it like your own home. Don't be too reserved. Today is just a meal for our family, so just be casual." The queen said with a smile.
Su Yunruo felt more at ease when she saw that the queen was as kind and benevolent as Su Yujin and others had said before. She just replied obediently, "Yes, Queen."
"The imperial physician replied yesterday that you are now in good health and basically have nothing to worry about. Today I saw that you are in good spirits, so I guess you have really rested well."
The queen held Su Yunruo's hand and spoke sweetly, "Today I asked the kitchen to prepare home-cooked dishes. I don't know if they suit your taste, and I don't know if you have any food taboos."
"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I have no dietary restrictions and I am not picky." Su Yunruo said with a smile, "But I often heard Sister Jing mention that the food in the palace is exquisite and delicious, especially here in Queen's palace. I will enjoy a good feast in Queen's palace today."
The Queen had heard a lot of compliments like this on a daily basis, but when she heard it from Su Yunruo today, she felt it was very pleasant and comfortable, and the smile on her face became even more intense.
When Su Yujin, Lu Wenjing and the fifth princess saw the Queen and Su Yunruo talking so intimately, they just smiled and looked at each other.
It is a secret.
As they were talking, the dishes were served one after another.
There are four cold dishes, four hot dishes, four meat dishes and four vegetarian dishes, plus soups and staple foods, a total of twenty items.
In order to show the harmony and intimacy of today, the Queen specifically instructed her servants not to eat at separate tables, but instead the five of them sat at the same round table. She also did not allow the maids to serve the food, and they all just sat together and had a lively meal.
"Ruoruo, try this." The queen picked up a piece of pickled goose for Su Yunruo.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Yunruo thanked and put the goose meat into her mouth.
The pickled goose was extremely delicious, with tender meat and a fragrant aroma, which made Su Yunruo exclaim repeatedly, "This pickled goose is very delicious."
The fifth princess smiled and said, "Of course, my mother is the best at making this dish now."
The pickled goose was actually made by the Queen herself, which was enough to show how much importance she attached to this meal, especially since she personally picked up some food for Su Yunruo.
Su Yunruo was flattered, "The Queen's cooking skills are really good."
"That's true. I think it tastes better than what Sister Jin made." Lu Wenjing also agreed.
"Yes, that's what my father said." The fifth princess smiled, "But although my mother cooks this dish well, she is always reluctant to show it to others. The other day, I begged my mother to make it once, but she ignored me. Today, I can take advantage of the sisters' blessing to satisfy my greed."
"You have become more and more talkative these days. Your mother has always been trying to satisfy the glutton in your stomach, you little heartless man!" The Queen pretended to be angry and reached out to touch the forehead of the fifth princess who was smiling at the moment.
The fifth princess pursed her lips and made a face.
The appearance made everyone laugh so hard that even the queen couldn't help laughing out loud, "At your age, you are still as naughty as a child. I really don't know what kind of in-laws will be able to tolerate your temper in the future."
"I don't know about that." The Fifth Princess sat up straight and said seriously, "But I know that my mother needs to take care of something first, and it's definitely not my matter."
These words seemed to imply something, and everyone present couldn't help but look at Su Yunruo.
The Queen didn't look at it, but pulled Su Yunruo closer to her, "Look at your fifth sister's fearless character. I really don't know how to discipline her. From now on, I have to rely on you to talk to her more. I guess she will listen."
Such intimate words clearly revealed the Queen's attitude.
Everyone understood and smiled.
Su Yunruo was stunned for a moment, but when she saw the Queen's loving smile on her face, she felt as if she saw Mrs. Lu, and her heart was filled with warmth.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right." Su Yunruo replied with a smile.
We talked and laughed throughout the meal, which lasted for more than half an hour.
After resting for a while, the queen took a few people to take a walk in the imperial garden.
The garden is full of fragrance at this time, and all kinds of flowers and trees are planted in the imperial garden. At this time, the flowers are red and the willows are green, and the flowers are in full bloom, which is beautiful beyond words.
As the group was walking, they ran into Qin Peiyou, He Yanxiu and Su Wenxuan.
"Your son greets the Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty, the Queen."
"Hurry up and get up." The queen raised her hand and said with a smile, "Has the banquet over there already ended?"
