Chapter 236 Give the fish to Xu Muhua
Xu Muhua probably guessed the purpose of Concubine Zhang's words, but she still knelt down with a plop, secretly thanking herself for being smart and preparing Xiaoyanzi's special offer in advance, so her knees didn't suffer such a severe punishment.
She said timidly, "Your Majesty, you are too serious. It is our honor to have the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Prince staying at our house temporarily! It is our duty to make the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince live happily, have fun and eat happily! I dare not ask for any reward!"
Concubine Zhang glanced at her, raised her eyelids, and said lazily, "Even if it is to fulfill the duty, not every servant can do it so well. Since it is done well, it should be rewarded, otherwise who will work hard in the future, and everyone will just be perfunctory?"
The emperor agreed with Concubine Zhang's words. This is what is called using both kindness and power.
Besides, she is a girl, and the most she can be rewarded is some jewelry, which will not affect her.
At this time, the emperor was very happy to pamper Concubine Zhang.
"Then according to your opinion, what should I reward you with?"
the emperor asked, with a hint of testing.
Concubine Zhang pretended not to hear, her eyebrows first frowned slightly in distress, and then relaxed. Her charming eyes seemed to be stained with a faint smile because she had thought of a good idea, melting the usual coldness on her face.
The emperor couldn't help but soften his heart when he saw it.
"I think the fish that has been kept in my palace is very good. Why not give the fish to Miss Xu as a reward! She seems to be very good at raising small animals. Since she can raise other animals, I believe she can also raise that big fish."
The emperor was stunned.
Why did you think of giving a fish as a reward?
"Your Majesty, it must have taken a lot for that fish to grow so big. God is merciful, and I really can't bear to let anyone kill it and eat it. It would be better to give it to Miss Xu. If anything happens to the fish in her hands, it will have nothing to do with me or Your Majesty."
The emperor thought about it and it seemed to be true. The fish was so big, and it seemed to be a little spiritual. It always felt a bit wrong to eat it like this.
It was not suitable to keep it in the palace, as it was too big. Thinking of this, the emperor also felt that it was a good idea to give it to Xu Muhua.
Although the fish was very big, it was a common species, and the emperor was not too rare.
Now that Concubine Zhang said so, he agreed, "Since my beloved concubine has said so, then I will do as my beloved concubine says!"
At this moment, the emperor did not even think about the fact that this big fish was not Concubine Zhang's, and he did not think about Concubine Li at all.
Concubine Li is still imprisoned in the cold palace waiting for the emperor's final decision.
Xu Muhua hurriedly thanked him, "
Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!" The emperor waved his hand, "If you want to thank someone, thank Concubine! You heard it too, it was Concubine Gui's intention."
Xu Muhua immediately changed direction and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Get up, and accompany me to talk later."
In front of the emperor, Concubine Zhang acted very cold.
The emperor was very busy, so of course he had no time to talk to Xu Muhua or the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Prince about irrelevant things. He quickly asked them to leave.
The Seventh Princess and the Eighth Prince were sent to their mother's palace by the palace servants. Before leaving, they kept reminding Xu Muhua to remember to wait for them!
Xu Muhua responded with a smile on her face, but in her heart she was thinking about waiting until they escaped from their mother's hands!
She followed Concubine Zhang back to her Yikun Palace.
The first thing Xu Muhua did when she arrived at Yikun Palace was to go to the big water tank to see if the fish was okay!
Seeing her anxious look, Concubine Zhang couldn't help but get angry: "Those who know know that there is a big fish in the water tank, and those who don't know think that it is your reincarnated parents!"
Xu Muhua didn't take her weirdness to heart at all, and replied: "Although what your majesty said is not entirely true, it is almost true!"
It is not just her reincarnated parents, this big fish has saved her!
Concubine Zhang also remembered what Xu Muhua said before, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond to her.
At present, Xu Muhua is the only one who can choke her!
After a while, she walked over as if nothing had happened, "See, it's alive and kicking. If there is any accident after leaving the palace, don't blame me!"
For this big fish, she has spent a lot of time and effort these days!
Concubine Zhang was trying to help her, so Xu Muhua certainly wouldn't be ungrateful.
She said sincerely, "Thank you, madam! If it weren't for you, I really don't know how I could have gotten this fish. If it had been eaten by someone in the palace, I would never have felt at ease."
Although she didn't quite agree with her treating a fish as a benefactor, Concubine Zhang didn't say anything mocking. She liked Xu Muhua even more in her heart, and felt that she was a person of pure heart.
Such a person was certainly much easier to get along with than those demons and monsters in the palace, and was much more worth associating with.
"Since it is so important, take it with you when you leave the palace later! Leaving it here makes me scared, afraid that it will die, and you will come to me to settle the score."
Xu Muhua grinned, "How can I come to the Queen to settle the score? Others may not know, but how can I not know what kind of person the Queen is?" Concubine
Zhang deliberately put on a stern face and asked, "What kind of person am I?"
"Your Majesty, you are a person with a cold face but a warm heart!"
Concubine Zhang's expression froze for a moment, a hint of discomfort flashed in her eyes, and she forced herself to say stubbornly, "I think you are talking nonsense! Not only do I have a cold face, but my heart is even colder! Humph!"
After that, she waved her sleeves and left, looking angry.
Xu Muhua saw that Concubine Zhang's jade-like earlobes turned slightly red, and the red spread to her fair neck.
She covered her mouth and laughed.
Although Concubine Zhang looked fierce, she actually had a soft and pure corner deep in her heart. It's just that she usually put on a cold and domineering face of a favored concubine, and the women in the palace were jealous of her, so how could they discover her true nature? I
just don't know if her true nature will be worn out in the palace.
After all, the palace is a place where people are eaten!
If the Zhang family hadn't had greedy thoughts, Concubine Zhang's cousin wouldn't have died, and Concubine Zhang wouldn't have had to enter the palace and be trapped for the rest of her life. With the status of the Zhang family and the fact that she was the legitimate daughter, she should have a happy marriage.
Xu Muhua couldn't help but shake her head, and then she was puzzled.
Hey, she was still a child herself, why did she feel sorry for other people's marriages?
She whispered to the big carp for a while beside the water tank, and then she calmed the big carp down before going to find Concubine Zhang.
Concubine Zhang said that she liked talking to Xu Muhua, and she wasn't lying to the emperor, she really thought it was interesting to chat with Xu Muhua.
