Chapter 13 Losing control

Chu Chu had all entered the table, but Prince Xiaoyao was still standing there, seemingly as if he still had something to say.

Sure enough, when the applause of the audience stopped, Prince Xiaoyao cleared his throat again, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what do you think of this poem Chu Chu?"

"Very good!" The emperor praised with a smile on his face, "With such literary talent and such elegance, it seems that your savior is no ordinary person!"

The smile on Prince Xiaoyao's face grew stronger and he said, "In that case, how about I shamelessly ask for a reward for my savior?"

"Oh?" The emperor is not a stingy person. He will reward gold and silver on his own. It is just a reward that Prince Xiaoyao asked for in person. It is probably not just these yellow and white things. "Tell me, what do you want to ask for?"

"Chu Chu was born in a peasant family. When he first came to this prosperous capital city, he would inevitably be looked down upon by others. My nephew wants your majesty to give Chu Chu the title of county lord. It doesn't require any fiefdom. It's just to build up her reputation. How about that?"

At this time, even the queen couldn't help but hold her forehead. The ministers and their family members were whispering to each other, and the looks they looked at Prince Xiaoyao also changed.

County Lord is a title reserved only for women from the royal family. Firstly, Chu Chu is not from a royal family, and secondly, she has no outstanding contributions. Those two lines of poems are nice, but they are far from qualified to be named County Lord.

However, Prince Xiaoyao also spoke of this matter so calmly, saying that it was just a matter of momentum and nothing more. I really don’t know what this Prince was thinking.

The emperor said nothing, and the smile on his face faded a lot.

Prince Xiaoyao was a careless person. Seeing that the emperor remained silent for a long time, he called out again: "Uncle Huang? What do you think?"

The whispers all over the place were silenced by Prince Xiaoyao's words.

Everyone looked at the emperor's face and then quietly turned to look at Chu Chu.

Chu Chu was still sitting upright. Although there was a hint of surprise on his face, he was still overjoyed and had no intention of getting up to dissuade Prince Xiaoyao.

From this point of view, things today may not be good...

Everyone sighed in their hearts and lowered their heads, waiting for the storm to come.

"You want to be crowned the county lord based on just two lines of poetry? Then in this capital, the county lord is everywhere?" A woman's sneer suddenly sounded, breaking the deathly silence.

Everyone looked around in surprise, but saw that the person speaking was actually the daughter of the Zuo Xiang family.

No wonder, this Miss Xue is quite talented. Looking at the whole audience, she is the only one who can say this.

Xue Shu looked quite ugly.

This sentence - was not what she wanted to say.

She doesn't want to get involved in Chu Chu's affairs!

It was too late for her to hide!

However, just like in the previous life, the inexplicable feeling of being out of control came again. It was obvious that the mouth was on my body, but I couldn't control it. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

She had no choice but to pretend to be calm and pick up the wine cup on the table, but did not drink. The mellow wine spread over her red lips, making her uncontrollable mouth speechless.

"That's right!" Qin Xiang seemed to have been prepared. He stood up neatly, put his hands on his hips, and immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience. He was quite domineering, "Isn't it just a few flattering poems? Why do you get it?

Make the county lord!"

"Xiang'er!" The Minister of Libu and his wife all turned pale. They never expected that their daughter would be so domineering that she would come to His Majesty.

When the prince is talking to the emperor, there is no room for his servants to interrupt!

Sure enough, as soon as Xue Shu and Qin Xiang finished speaking, Prince Xiaoyao immediately looked over with a very ugly look on his face.

At this time, everyone was watching the fun, but no one noticed that the emperor's expression softened a lot, and he even glanced at the two of them.

Qin Xiang was only glaring at Prince Xiaoyao, and naturally did not receive the emperor's eyes, but Xue Shu noticed it.

Yes, now she is taking orders and doing things.

So, Xue Shu quietly put down the wine cup in her hand, looked at the ugly-looking Prince Xiaoyao, and said: "This Miss Chu is the prince's savior, not His Majesty's. If you want to repay your kindness, just repay it. You have to be involved."

What is your majesty doing? If your majesty really listened to Prince Xiaoyao today and made the peasant girl the county head, and issued an imperial edict another day, wouldn't it mean that outsiders would think that cats and dogs can be made the county head? Where is the majesty of the Tian family?

?”

Saying that, Xue Shu glanced at Chu Chu, who was motionless, and showed an innocent smile that was harmless to humans and animals.

As soon as these words fell, everyone present took a deep breath.

Xue Yue's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.

He never expected that Xue Shu would be so bold and publicly humiliate the distinguished guests brought by Prince Xiaoyao!

Prince Xiaoyao is a member of the royal family, if you offend him...

Xue Yue didn't dare to think any more, turned around and angrily shouted: "Rebellious girl! Shut up!"

Xue Shu's eyelashes trembled, and then she shrugged, sending a helpless signal to someone.

The emperor leaned on the dragon chair, his smile suddenly froze halfway through, and then glanced sharply at Xue Yue.

Fortunately, Xue Shu fell down, but Qin Xiang was still standing. The little girl in red still had her hands on her hips, looking like she was about to fight to the death: "That's right! The position of the county leader is not in the ground.

You can reward the cabbage at will, that’s a big deal! Why, any ghost, ghost, and snake spirit that jumped out of nowhere is worthy of walking outside with the identity of the Tian family? "

Mrs. Shangshu almost fainted.

Prince Xiaoyao brought a distinguished guest, but her girl said that he was a monster and a snake...

It's over, it's over, this silly girl must have offended Prince Xiaoyao to death!

"You!" Prince Xiaoyao was furious. Before he could continue, Chu Chu's voice suddenly sounded: "Chu Chu is a peasant girl who knows that she cannot reach the royal family's wealth. The identity of this county head... is me... a citizen.

Women are not worthy."

"Now that we have talked about it, this girl has just realized that she is not worthy." Qin Xiang snorted, sat back on the chair, and winked at Xue Shu.

Having said this, the matter of conferring the title of county lord was naturally abandoned hastily. Prince Xiaoyao returned to his original position and sat down bitterly, his eyes falling coldly on Xue Shu.

She started it all!

If Xue Shu hadn't taken the initiative, the fool in red would definitely not have jumped out to agree, and ended up messing up his affairs!

This is the surprise he wants to give Chu Chu!

It’s so yellow!

"Who is that person?" Prince Xiaoyao asked through gritted teeth.

Even though he didn't deliberately ask anyone to ask, the answer he wanted was still given to him respectfully: "That is the legitimate daughter of Xue Xiang's family, named Xue Shu."

"From Zuo Xiang's family?" Upon hearing this title, the hatred in Prince Xiaoyao's heart suddenly disappeared.

Although he had been away from the capital for a long time and did not know much about the forces in the capital, he also knew that the left prime minister was the leader of the elite in the civil service and his family was not easy to offend.

What's more, he originally expected the daughter-in-law of Zuo Xiang's family to help him introduce Chu Chu into the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

Prince Xiaoyao raised his hand and gently rubbed his chin. After a while, he suddenly smiled.

Forget it, after all, Chu Chu's identity is there, so it's normal for these noble ladies in the capital to look down on her. Besides, it was the girl from the Xue family who messed up his affairs in the first place, so how could he get away with it without some compensation?

He was originally worried about how to speak, but now it was better, the opportunity came directly to him.

As long as he said that he would let Xue Shu take Chu Chu to attend a few flower appreciation banquets, tonight's matter would be cancelled, and they would not owe each other anything from now on. He did not believe that Xue Shu would let go of this opportunity.

He is the nephew of His Majesty, and no one wants to enmity with him.
