When the Queen heard this, she slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said seriously: "What do you mean by good fortune? It's obviously your credit, so it's yours. Just say it yourself, Jiahe will not deny it, am I right?"
When Princess Jiahe heard this, she quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, bowed to the Queen, and said, "Your Majesty is right. It was Madam Xu who saved me. After all, I haven't had time to thank Madam Xu properly. Why not take advantage of this opportunity today? Madam Xu, if you want anything, just ask."
Xu Miaomiao recalled the scene under the scorching sun. Although she saved the leader of Jiahe Group, the leader of Jiahe Group also indeed saw her and Nangong Jin's intimate behavior. Not knowing the sin was already a great blessing to her. How dare she ask for any reward?
Xu Miaomiao bowed to the two people on the stage and slowly said, "Protecting the royal family is what we women should do. Miaomiao doesn't dare to covet the credit and ask for any reward. I just wish the queen a long life and the group leader eternal youth!"
When the Queen heard this, she lowered her head, then looked at Xu Miaomiao with a somewhat cold expression and said, "Jiahe has already said that she will give you a reward, so just ask for it. Why do you have to use this excuse? Could it be that you don't even like any of these things?"
Xu Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. The Queen was obviously nitpicking. She had to choose between them. Jiang Wenyu, who was standing by, saw this and slowly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this Madam Xu has always been ignorant. I guess she doesn't know what to choose after seeing so many things in Nangong Mansion. Why don't you just pick one and give it to her so that she can go back and broaden her horizons."
Although Jiang Wenyu did not belittle Xu Miaomiao, she did help him get out of trouble. As expected, when the Queen heard this, she nodded happily and said, "It is true that although Madam Xu is a good doctor, she is still a country girl from the poor place of Bai County. It is normal that she has never seen these things. In this case, let's give her the golden pillow."
The Queen Mother looked at Princess Jiahe next to her, and Princess Jiahe nodded slightly. She waved her hand and Xiao Si beside her retreated. When she came back a while later, she was holding a tray in her hand. On the tray was a pillow with a tiger head. The pillow was made of gold thread, and the tiger head on it was lifelike and looked extremely cute.
Song Weiwei's craftsmanship was already good enough, but Xu Miaomiao was still a little surprised when she saw the tiger head.
Everyone laughed at Xu Miaomiao's ignorant and surprised look. The Queen was also very satisfied with her look. She waved her hand and Xiao Si handed the pillow to Xu Miaomiao.
The Queen looked at her and said, "This golden pillow was originally given to each prince and noble lady, but this one is for the palace ceremonials. I embroidered it myself, but it looks lovely and I wanted to give it to Jiahe. In that case, I will give it to you as a reward!"
"Thank you, Queen."
Xu Miaomiao looked at the gold thread on it, stretched out her hand slightly, and then the tiger head was placed steadily in her hand. After this banquet, she finally had nothing to worry about. However, there were still some girls who kept laughing at her for being ignorant. They had never seen a tiger-head pillow before, and they all found it funny to see how embarrassing she looked just now.
Everyone was talking about Xu Miaomiao, and naturally, these words also reached Xu Miaomiao No. 2 Middle School, but Xu Miaomiao didn't care much. She looked at the small pillow beside her, pinched the ears of the little tiger on it, and smiled with satisfaction.
Let them say whatever they want. I will never take what they say to heart. Although I lost a lot of jade ruyi during this trip today, I still got such a cute little pillow in the end. It’s not a loss at all.
The noble ladies who were originally ostracizing Xu Miaomiao lost interest when they saw that Xu Miaomiao was so indifferent, and walked aside without saying a word.
The banquet ended like this. Finally, when there was almost no one left, Xu Miaomiao wanted to sneak to the backyard to take a look at Dabao and Li Yi, but as soon as she left, Song Zhijin stared at her and followed her out.
When she just arrived at the martial arts training ground, Xu Miaomiao saw Dabao and Li Yi still doing horse stance. She walked towards them and the two men smiled when they saw her, but they did not move in the end.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat off their heads. She couldn't help but sigh. It was really not easy to learn skills away from home. When she was learning medicine, she had endured it all by herself no matter how hard it was. It was just that these two children were suffering now. However, it would be a good choice for them to learn a set of skills to protect themselves.
"The banquet isn't over yet, why did Madam Xu come out on her own?" A voice sounded from behind. Xu Miaomiao looked back and saw Song Zhijin swaggering towards her with a sword in hand.
When Xu Miaomiao saw this scene, she immediately bowed to the woman in front of her.
Song Zhijin also smiled at Xu Miaomiao: "Madam Song, my child and apprentice have been studying in the Southern Kingdom Mansion. Since there is a banquet today, I might as well visit them. That's why I sneaked out. I hope Madam Song doesn't mind."
Song Zhijin waved her hand indifferently, hugged Xu Miaomiao, and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm also very annoyed by all that. If I had the time, I might as well ride a horse in the field this afternoon and run a lap in a carefree manner!"
When Li Yi heard Song Zhijin say this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows curiously, looked at her, and then remained silent.
Xu Miaomiao was speechless. Song Zhijin's personality was indeed very unique in this dynasty. The women of this dynasty were all cautious and lived in the inner house all their lives, fighting over trivial matters in the inner house. However, Song Zhijin was so sunny and bright. Her cheerful personality was different from others, which made people couldn't help but take a second look at her.
Seeing that Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything, Song Zhijin took her in and continued to talk to the two children in front of her, "They are learning martial arts from Ajin, so their kung fu must be quite good. Do you want to compare them?"
Seeing Song Zhijin raise her head slightly, Li Yi was distracted for a moment, but Dabao frowned calmly, as if he was somewhat repulsed by the woman in front of him.
