When the two men came out and saw Marquis Wu'an, they hurried over to greet him.
"Father, is there something wrong?" Shen Nian saw that Wu'an Hou was just staring at him, so he asked first.
"Nothing." Marquis Wu'an looked at him for a moment before asking, "I heard you encountered assassins on your way back?"
The emperor did not disclose this matter after returning, and did not reward Captain He and others in the court just now.
Xia Tian thought that the emperor might be planning to wait until the person behind the assassination was found before making it public.
"How did father know?" Shen Nian raised his eyebrows slightly.
Logically speaking, the emperor has issued a gag order and no one is allowed to reveal it. I wonder how his father found out?
"Don't worry about how I found out, just tell me whether it exists or not?" Marquis Wu'an frowned.
Shen Nian didn’t say anything, but just nodded slightly.
Marquis Wu'an's expression changed slightly. It was unknown what he was thinking about, but he did not ask any more questions.
It was because he occasionally knew about the compensation for deceased officers and soldiers that he deduced that the emperor and his entourage might have encountered an assassination attempt on the way.
This time I went to Chen Nian to confirm it, and I also wanted to confirm the guess in my heart.
I hope he is overthinking it.
Marquis Wu'an didn't say anything, and Chen Nian and Xia Tian didn't dare to speak anymore. The three of them walked out of the palace in silence.
When they met other officials on the way, they all congratulated Wu An Hou and Shen Nian.
Marquis Wu'an listened to other adults praising Shen Nian and Xia Tian, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Today, his son and daughter-in-law were rewarded by the emperor, and he was also proud of it.
The depressed mood I had just had suddenly improved.
Fortunately, everyone returned safely. As long as they are fine, the rest can be dealt with slowly.
As soon as the three of them returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the emperor's reward arrived.
It was Eunuch Xu who personally brought someone to deliver it, and also brought the clothes for the lady of the imperial family in the summer.
This made everyone in the Marquis' Mansion even more shocked. Even the second and third wives were a little envious of her.
After all, in the entire marquis's mansion, besides the old lady and Liu, she is the third person with an imperial edict.
In the future, you will be able to receive imperial food.
The emperor's reward caused damage to the tea sets that Liu had just replenished.
Liu felt that Xia Tian and Shen Nian were her nemesis. The more unlucky she was, the better their lives would be.
Xia Tian also thought so. She felt that the worse Liu's life was, the happier she would be.
This was a great joyous event for her. To celebrate her title of Lady of Imperial Concubine, she rewarded all the servants in Jinglan Garden and Lingyun Pavilion with a monthly salary.
The people in the two courtyards were extremely happy and congratulated her one after another.
That's right, when you are happy you should share it, so that you can double your happiness.
The next day, she went to the palace again.
This time I am going to teach the Crown Prince, the Second Prince and the little princesses.
After not seeing each other for a month, the children were very happy to see her and surrounded her to ask her all kinds of questions.
After the class, the Queen Mother kept her and thanked her.
It turned out that after the prince came back, he told the queen about Xia Tian giving him the pills.
"Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. Your Highness is the crown prince, and I naturally hope that he will be in good health. The medicine is just in case."
Xia Tian spoke modestly, but the Queen was very happy to hear it. The Prince was her only son, and she was naturally grateful that someone was truly caring about her child.
"Mrs. Shen really impressed me."
Who said that those born in the countryside and of low status were not worthy of Master Shen?
This kind of way of dealing with people and being open-minded are not something that ordinary people can do.
During the plague, he was able to provide life-saving medicine to treat the people without reservation, which was already better than many people.
No wonder the emperor announced her reward in front of all the civil and military officials during his court session.
She is indeed worthy of the emperor's doing this.
Xia Tian didn't know what the Queen was thinking. When she left the palace, she received a bunch of gifts from the Queen.
Looking at the brocade, jewelry, study treasures, snacks and other items that filled half the carriage, the corners of her mouth rose higher and higher.
Ningxiang couldn't help laughing when she saw their wives' money-obsessed look.
She didn't go out in the afternoon and simply hid in the study to paint.
I haven't painted for a month or so, so I have to catch up on some work.
There is a painting that is due for submission in three days.
Xia Tian didn't want to break his promise, so he didn't go out for the next three days and stayed in the study to paint.
During this time, Wen Jin handed her a note and asked her to come out and chat when she had time.
Thinking that the painting had to be handed in in three days and had to be delivered to Shopkeeper Xiao, she set the meeting time for three days later.
Fortunately, during these three days, Liu didn't know whether she was frightened by the fact that she had just been conferred the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine, or what, although she couldn't help but say a few sarcastic words to her when paying her respects every morning, she didn't find fault with her and punish her.
She didn't fight back blindly, and they were able to stay at peace for the time being.
Three days passed in a flash, and Xiatian went out directly after breakfast.
Today she brought Ningxue, Cuiyun and Cuiling with her.
During the time she was away, these maids suffered, especially Cui Ling, who was almost beaten to death by Liu.
Anyway, there is nothing important to do today, so I might as well take them out for a walk.
When they arrived at Yayizhai, before they even entered the door, Manager Xiao came out to greet them happily.
“Mrs. Shen, you haven’t been here for a long time.”
"I've been a bit busy lately. How's everything going for Shopkeeper Xiao these days?" Xia Tian also greeted with a smile.
"Thanks to my lady, everything is fine." Shopkeeper Xiao said as he instructed the waiter to make tea.
