"Your Majesty, Jinxiu is your biological daughter, you..." Concubine Zhu started crying again, but this time her tears were much more sincere than before.
Su Jing waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to take Concubine Zhu away. He was really tired of Concubine Zhu and her daughter.
"Your Majesty, Jinxiu is a concubine's daughter. I accept any dowry you give her. However, the Zhen family does not take our Jinxiu seriously. Are you going to let them despise the royal family? Your Majesty, even if it is not for Jinxiu, for the sake of our royal family's reputation, you cannot let the Zhen family despise our Jinxiu."
Concubine Zhu had been taken out by the eunuch. She shouted towards the imperial study, hoping Su Jing could hear her and pay attention to the Zhen family for the sake of the royal family's reputation.
The sound of Concubine Zhu's struggle and shouting became smaller and smaller, until there was no sound anymore. Su Jing turned around and looked at Xiao Yuzi who was serving at his side.
"What's going on with what Concubine Zhu said about the Zhen family?"
"Your Majesty..."
Xiao Yuzi was a little surprised. He served Su Jing and naturally knew that Su Jing had his own spies. But his spies didn't even report such a thing? Was the emperor testing him
But no matter what Su Jing's purpose was, since he asked, Xiao Yuzi naturally told him everything he knew, even the grudge between Princess Jinxiu and Zhen Junran many years ago, and Zhen Junran's obsession with A'man.
Of course, Xiao Yuzi's focus is still that all of this is Su Jinxiu's own fault, and Zhen Junran's entanglement with Princess Jiaoyang is bold and shameless.
Su Jing looked at his indignant expression and the smile on his face deepened.
"Your master will definitely reward you well if he knows how well you protect Princess Jiaoyang."
"I only protected the princess with words. I wonder what reward you are going to give me, my master?" Xiao Yuzi smiled fawningly, staring at Su Jing, as if he would not give up.
"you… "
"My heart is with Princess Jiaoyang, so the emperor will naturally be satisfied."
Su Jing looked at Xiao Yuzi and finally smiled. He threw a green jade inkstone on the table into Xiao Yuzi's hand.
This green jade inkstone was Taizu's favorite. It had been in the imperial study since the founding of Bei'an. Now, it had fallen into Xiao Yuzi's hands.
Xiao Yuzi stared at the inkstone in his hand for a long time without coming back to his senses.
He was sure that this was a reward from the emperor, but the reward was a little too high.
If I had thrown this to Concubine Zhu just now, it would have shut her up.
"Your Majesty, this..."
"For your master, tell his people to be smarter and pay attention to the things they should pay attention to. My people all have important things to do."
After hearing Su Jing's words, Xiao Yuzi finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he gave this inkstone to his own prince, his own prince would definitely reward him. Then...
As Xiao Yuzi thought about it, the corners of his mouth curled up. His smug look made Su Jing feel a little uncomfortable.
That kid wasn't around, and looking at Xiao Yuzi, he felt like he could see that kid's face. It was really, really infuriating.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. My prince has already made arrangements. You can ask me anything you want to know, whether it is the harem or the court. I will tell you everything I know."
"He's quite capable."
It was hard to tell whether this was a compliment or a mockery, so Xiao Yuzi took it as a compliment and explained with a smile, "Your Majesty, the prince must be very capable to protect the princess, right? It's much better for the princess to find a capable husband than a loser like Zhen Junran."
Xiao Yuzi's persuasion came from the heart, but he forgot that Zhen Junran was also Su Jing's son-in-law.
Seeing Su Jing's stiff face, Xiao Yuzi realized belatedly that he had said the wrong thing.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I was talking about my prince... No, I was talking about Zhen Junran..."
"I know exactly what kind of person he is."
"Then you let Princess Jinxiu..."
"That was not the path I chose for her. It was chosen by your master, and it was also her own choice."
"Then they..."
