Without even thinking about it, Su Yan knew that that gaze must belong to King Qin. With the help of Chu Yan, Su Yan got out of the carriage, and then calmly glanced at King Qin. When the eyes of King Qin met, Su Yan let go of Chu Yan's hand, and said to King Qin Fuli: "My daughter has seen King Qin Your Highness."
Although there was nothing wrong with Su Yan's attitude, compared to Chu Yan, her attitude towards the two was very different, and this huge gap made King Qin's eyes flicker with gloom.
Xia Mochu jumped out of another carriage. He was in high spirits. He didn't see weakness on the road at all. He was so nervous that he didn't feel the subtle atmosphere between the three of them. He excitedly said to King Qin: "His Royal Highness , let's enter the palace."
"Everyone, please." King Qin looked away as if nothing had happened.
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the imperial study room, Su Yan bowed slowly. As the number of times increased, she was no longer nervous to see the emperor.
"Pingshen." The emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, and he glanced over everyone present with satisfaction: "You have all worked hard this time." After that, the emperor was the first to ask Su Yan: "Le'an, this time You have made great achievements, but what reward do you want?"
For some reason, Su Yan always felt that the emperor looked at her differently than before. I don't know if she misunderstood it, but there was a hint of kindness.
Su Yan was a little puzzled, but still politely gave another blessing and said: "I don't dare to take the credit, this time I was able to stop the epidemic in such a timely manner, I just did my best, and the rest is all thanks to Baiwei The doctors of the hall and the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital."
The emperor laughed: "I've heard about everything ahead, you don't have to be so humble."
King Qin also looked at Su Yan with a smile: "This king has also heard about this incident, and your father's appreciation, Le'an, you deserve it."
The emperor looked at King Qin with a hint of surprise. He was also a man and was too young. Knowing that King Qin looked at Su Yan like an ordinary cousin looked at his sister, the emperor almost subconsciously looked at Su Yan.
Su Yan didn't respond to King Qin's words, instead she turned her head to look at Chu Yan, and said with a smile: "The courtiers are more vulgar, please the emperor reward the courtiers with some gold and silver, this time in Huaizhou, courtiers buy medicinal materials When I borrowed a lot of money from my son, I was worried about how to pay it back."
This sounds playful, but Su Yan really hoped that the emperor would give her several million taels of silver, so that she could return the silver to Chu Yan.
Hearing Su Yan's words, Chu Yan couldn't help laughing, his phoenix eyes could not hide the smile, this was the first time the emperor saw Chu Yan smiling, and he had told Prince Yan about Chu Yan before. Yan kept a cold face on this matter all day long.
At that time, Prince Yan only said that Chu Yan didn't like to laugh since he was a child. Now, it seems that he doesn't like to laugh. It's obviously because the people he faces are different.
Seeing the affectionate look of the two of them, and looking at King Qin standing aside, the emperor felt a little headache. Even if his harem has almost all the beauties in the world, he has to admit that Su Yansheng is really good-looking.
No wonder people have always said that beauty is a disaster, and it is true.
King Qin is his favorite heir, and Chu Yan is the pure minister he wants to cultivate. He will not allow these two people to have a rift because of a woman. If it was an ordinary woman, he would think of a way to make her disappear from this world, but Su Yan is Jin Yang's biological daughter, that is, his biological niece, he can't do that.
But even so, the emperor didn't think it was too difficult, thinking that as long as he let Chu Yan and Su Yan get married as soon as possible, King Qin would probably give up the idea.
"Okay, then I'll reward you." The emperor laughed, looking at Su Yan with the pampering that is unique to elders.
All this fell into Chu Yan's eyes. He glanced at King Qin with unclear emotions.
The emperor praised each other according to the usual practice, and then let Su Yan and Xia Mochu go back to their respective homes, leaving Chu Yan alone.
It was the first time Xia Mochu was praised by the emperor since he was a child, and the smile on his face has never been broken since he left the palace, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the house, he was whipped by the old general Xia, and he was in pain. Lao Gao jumped up, hugged the pillar at the door and climbed up.
Xia Mochu's aunts hurried forward to stop him, and they stopped General Xia's anger only after they had exhausted their good words.
The old lady and several girls from the Su family were waiting for her at the door of Uncle Anjing's mansion. As soon as she saw Su Yan get off the sedan chair, the old lady went down the steps and came to Su Yan.
In a hurry, Su Yan trotted a few steps up the steps to support the old lady: "Grandmother, slow down, be careful not to fall."
The old lady looked Su Yan up and down, and saw that she was standing in front of her safe and sound, with tears in her cloudy eyes.
Su Jian lifted her skirt and went down the steps, Su Xi rushed to Su Yan ahead of Su Jian, almost knocking Su Jian into her.
Su Yan frowned, but Su Xi didn't realize it, she leaned closer and smiled at Su Yan: "Fifth Sister doesn't know something, when you were away, grandma kept talking about you all day, for fear that something might happen to you."
Hearing this, Su Yan supported the old lady and said with a smile: "Isn't my granddaughter standing in front of you? It's windy outside, my granddaughter will help you back to the house."
At the same time, in the imperial study room.
The emperor flipped through the list submitted by Chu Yan, and finally fixed his eyes on a name. After hesitating for a moment, the emperor tentatively said, "Chu Yan, he is your future husband-in-law."
He wanted to know if Chu Yan knew about Su Yan's real background.
Chu Yan's complexion remained unchanged, and even his eyes were the same as before. He just said indifferently: "The prince's crime is the same as that of the common people."
King Qin who was standing aside looked curiously at the list when he heard the words, and saw the word An Jingbo lying quietly on the paper, King Qin's pupils shrank immediately.
In order to win the emperor's trust, Chu Yan even sold out his own father-in-law? Isn't he afraid that Su Yan will be divorced from him because of this? Or... Suppressing his own thoughts for the time being, Chu Yan's lips showed an imperceptible sarcasm: "Commander Chu is indeed righteous."
Chu Yan raised his head and looked directly at King Qin, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness is ridiculous."
King Qin smiled: "Commander Chu is full of righteousness, but he doesn't know, does Le An know about this?"
Chu Yan didn't answer King Qin directly, but narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is a court affair."
The questioner didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. As an imperial envoy, it would be dereliction of duty to leak this kind of thing to anyone, so Chu Yan would never admit it.
The King of Qin intended to satirize Chu Yan, but he didn't expect so much. Hearing Chu Yan's answer, he said with his hands behind his back: "Then I would like to advise Commander Chu, you should talk to Le An about this matter first."
Regarding King Qin's "kindness", Chu Yan treated it indifferently: "Your Highness, don't worry about it."
The emperor kept his head down and deliberated over the list, not noticing the ups and downs of the two people's views.
