Chapter 92 is for your self-defense.
Song Zhimian was a little surprised that Emperor Xiao Xuan was so generous.
Not only were he rewarded with gold and pearls, but he also promoted himself and received a gold medal...
Because Song Zhimin's injury was to her back, the eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department who came to deliver the imperial decree and rewards indicated that Song Zhimin did not need to get up to express her gratitude.
Once she recovers and is able to get out of bed, she can pray for the Emperor's grace from the Eastern Palace...
Song Zhimian was even thinking of signaling Lian Qiao to help her slip something to a few of the eunuchs...
Xiao Jingjue had already given away her little purse.
"Take this and buy some wine! It's a small token of Master Song's appreciation." Xiao Jingjue already knew how to give rewards to others.
The eunuchs immediately accepted the purse with delight and went back.
There are four beads in this purse, Your Highness. They must be something good...
...
Song Zhimian played with the imperial gold medal in her hand, quite fond of it.
This is the imperial gold medal! It definitely feels different to the touch; it's heavy and must be made of solid gold...
Xiao Huaijin then brought Princess Yongxin over.
They both looked at the gold medal that Song Zhimin was playing with.
They both found it a bit strange. They had guessed that they would be promoted and rewarded, but they really hadn't expected to be given a token that allowed them to move freely within the inner palace and the inner court...
And it was even made of gold...
In the past, weren't these tokens made of specially crafted iron?
Sometimes they even make wooden ones...
Now they've actually made a piece of gold. It looks so heavy; if you took it out and smashed it, it could probably make someone's head bleed!
I wonder which brilliant person came up with the idea of making a gold medal; it certainly wasn't the idea of the person on the dragon throne.
...
"Can this sign save my life?" Song Zhimian suddenly asked.
Xiao Huaijin, Princess Yongxin...
"This is a token that allows you to move freely, not a get-out-of-jail-free card!" Xiao Huaijin reminded him.
Upon hearing that it was merely a token granting her free movement within the inner palace and the inner court, Song Zhimian's initial enthusiasm immediately waned by half.
It just allows me to walk around freely, it's not a get-out-of-jail-free card...
If that were the case, the value of this card would be greatly reduced.
At least in Song Zhimian's view, the biggest function of this sign now is just that it's made of gold and has some value!
"Don't underestimate this plaque; it's a plaque that allows you to enter the palace at will!"
Currently, only four families in the nobility possess this plaque.
The Shen family, Duke of Dingguo; the Huangfu family, Duke of Changsheng; the Zhao family, Duke of Han; and the Shangguan family, who were in charge of the Censorate.
Other families... always had to present a token to request an audience before they could enter the palace. Only after the nobles in the palace informed the Imperial Household Department that they had been granted permission could they enter.
This piece of yours...
"If you want to wander around the palace freely, or leave the palace to go to the inner palace, just take this token," Xiao Huaijin explained with a smile.
Upon hearing that she could leave the palace, Song Zhimian's eyes lit up immediately.
With this badge, you can leave the palace at will!
This brand is much more useful than a regular gold medal!
"Keep it safe! If you accidentally lose it, it will be a huge problem."
"Those guards at the palace gate only recognize the nameplate, not the person!" Princess Yongxin reminded her with a smile.
Song Zhimian quickly put the gold medal away.
Things bestowed by the emperor must not be lost; they must be kept safe!
Seeing Song Zhimin's happy face, and looking at the room that was surrounded by all kinds of congratulatory gifts, Xiao Huaijin couldn't help but say a few words.
"You don't just have one life anymore! You still have so many possessions!"
Do you feel like you have more now, and that there's more hope for the future?
Song Zhimian nodded immediately.
Absolutely! So many treasures!
After I get my revenge and kill Song Kaishan and his gang, I'll ask for a favor so I can buy a courtyard, raise dogs and cats, watch others grow flowers and plants, and enjoy the luxurious life of the wealthy in ancient times...
These are the reasons for my confidence...
"Yes, I'll definitely keep it safe. Who knows what other brands might come up in the future?"
I'll put them all away and see if I can collect all twelve imperial gold medals!
As Song Zhimian spoke, she solemnly put the gold medal away.
Xiao Huaijin, Princess Yongxin...
They also collected all twelve imperial gold medals...
Are imperial gold medals just gold ingots that can be casually given away as rewards?
...
"Alright, you get some rest! I'm leaving now. If you need anything, just talk to the person I told you about last time."
After Xiao Huaijin finished speaking, he first glanced at Song Zhimin, then at Princess Yongxin, and then left alone.
Song Zhimian was wondering why Princess Yongxin hadn't left with Xiao Huaijin!
Princess Yongxin took out a box that she had brought with her.
"Song Zhimian, these are some things that Xiao Huaijin prepared for you."
As she spoke, Princess Yongxin opened the box.
Song Zhimian was a little curious; Xiao Huaijin had even prepared something for her?
Hasn't he already sent over a lot of things?
They gave us a lot of gifts, including food, daily necessities, medicinal herbs and supplements, gold and silver jewelry, and so on!
Now, Princess Yongxin was specially asked to bring it out...
Peeking out, Song Zhimian felt even stranger. Weren't these just a few ordinary pieces of jewelry?
A phoenix hairpin, two bracelets...
Now that I'm a fifth-rank female official in charge of ceremonies at the Eastern Palace, there are certain pieces of jewelry I can't wear...
Seeing the confusion in Song Zhimin's eyes, Princess Yongxin chuckled.
"Take a closer look and see if there's anything different!"
Song Zhimian looked down again and examined it carefully...
It doesn't seem to be much different, it's just a little more refined...
Since it's made by the King of Qi, it must be specially made by the Imperial Household Department, so the quality and workmanship are definitely guaranteed...
Wait, these pieces of jewelry seem a little different...
"You can tell now, can't you!"
Come on, take a look at this little phoenix hairpin. It looks simple, doesn't it? But there's more to it than meets the eye!
Oh, you can't wear this in the palace.
It's mainly for you to use outside the palace.
This little phoenix hairpin is hollow. There's a mechanism at the tail; press it gently and it will open...
You can hide things like pills in here.
Isn't it cool! I have one too, but I'm too lazy to wear it. I prefer to use it to whip people.
Come here, look at this bracelet, isn't it exquisite!
Hehe, you have to be very careful when you wear this!
Because there are hidden weapons inside…
As Princess Yongxin spoke, she picked up one of the exquisite bracelets for Song Zhimin.
Song Zhimian's eyes widened as well...
This bracelet seems to be a bit more delicate!
