The Emperor Emeritus carefully thought about Qin Keqing's words,
The Crown Prince had passed away. He really couldn't bear to disappoint his only bloodline and let Madam Jia Zhen raise him? The Emperor Emeritus frowned slightly,
But this child had just been recognized..,
He still wanted to bring her to meet more of his clan relatives,
And..,
Where her father used to grow up. He also wanted her to see more of the place.
"Countess Jia, thank you for your care these days," the Emperor Emeritus said.
Xia Lu hurriedly bowed,
She said respectfully, "This is what I should do. I can't take credit. I also have four boys in my family. Fortunately, I didn't offend the Young Princess during this period of time. I don't deserve Your Majesty's praise."
Xia Lu hurriedly pointed out the matter of the three boys in her family,
For the sake of Qin Keqing's reputation..,
The Emperor Emeritus would definitely not let Qin Keqing be raised in her residence,
Not to mention the book..,
The situation between Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen was indicative of the Emperor Emeritus's current attitude towards Qin Keqing,
If something really happened..,
She couldn't afford to take responsibility..,
However, Xia Lu also had some doubts. They had been worried for so long, but the royal family had just recognized her so easily? Didn't they say that the royal family was very serious about bloodlines?
The Emperor Emeritus instantly understood what Xia Lu meant. This was a tactful refusal to let Keqing be raised in her residence. It was a smart refusal. However, it was true that Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law had raised four boys. Moreover, the four of them were not only from the Jia family, but also from the Lin family. For the sake of Keqing's reputation, they really couldn't be raised in Ningguo Province.
"The Countess is so young. I didn't expect her to have so many children? It's indeed a blessing to have many children. "The Empress Dowager was not like the Emperor Emeritus and the Emperor. She did not know the inside story of Ningguo Province, so she could only praise.
Xia Lu was a little embarrassed. How could she explain that except for one, the other three were not born by her?
"Woman, don't talk nonsense if you don't know." The Emperor Emeritus glared at the Empress Dowager. He knew very well about the Jia family's affairs. Among the four children, except for one, she did not give birth to the other three. Among them, the oldest was Jia Zhen's youngest son. After he was born, Madam Jia passed away and had been raised by her sister-in-law. The other one was Jia Xie's eldest son. When the Zhang family had difficulty in giving birth, they gave the child to Madam Jia Zhen before they died. The last one was the child of the Lin family. The Lin family had only one son in three generations. When it came to Lin Ruhai, the child was not in good health and could not be raised. In the end, the Jia Daishan gave up his face and let Madam Jia Zhen take care of him. It was said that he was raised well now.
Thinking of this, the Emperor Emeritus expressed his approval in his heart. It was no wonder that she could gain Keqing's approval in such a short time. In terms of raising children, this woman was indeed unique. It was said that the Imperial Physician had diagnosed the child of the Lin family and said that he could not be raised, but he was raised well by this woman. This woman was really extraordinary.
"Father, why don't you give the Countess a token that allows her to enter the palace at any time? At that time, if Keqing misses the Countess, she can be summoned to the palace. What do you think?" Tu Chen said to help the Empress Dowager out of trouble. He also knew the situation of the Jia family. The imperial harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, so it was natural that the Empress Dowager did not know about the Jia family.
"That's a good idea. Let's do as you say." The Emperor Emeritus nodded.
The Emperor Emeritus looked at the people below and said, "She has already been recognized. You have put in so much effort, so naturally, you should be rewarded. Qin Ye and his wife have done a good job in protecting Keqing. Your Majesty, as you see fit, give them an easy position. With an official position, no one will dare to bully you at will."
Obviously, the Emperor Emeritus had already found out why the Qin family suddenly came to Ningguo Province. It was because someone had suddenly attacked them. Giving Qin Ye an official position would allow Qin Ye to solve the problem by himself. Whether it was to vent the anger in his heart or for other reasons, it was good. Moreover, being an official was better than being a farmer. It could be said that the Qin family had been lifted up.
"Yes." The Emperor did not think much of Qin Ye's kindness. It was just a small official. Whether it was the Ministry of Works or the Ministry of Revenue, they were all short of people. It was not a problem to send people over. However, even if he saved the Crown Prince's daughter and got an official position, there was still a limit to how far he could go. After all, he was not born in the imperial examination. Being a sixth-rank official was the most he could do.
"Thank you, Emperor Emeritus. Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Ye quickly knelt down.
Xiao Zhi was in a daze and was half a beat slower. When she came back to her senses, she quickly knelt down and thanked the Emperor Emeritus with Qin Ye.
"As for you." The Emperor Emeritus was a little embarrassed. He did not know how to reward them. After all, when it came to the Jia family, there was nothing else to reward. However, for such a big matter, he really had to reward them. Otherwise, the Jia family would be disappointed.
The Jia Daishan immediately understood the Emperor Emeritus's meaning. He directly stood up and said, "Originally, I wanted to shamelessly enter the palace to beg the Emperor and Emperor Emeritus. Now that I have this favor, this old official wants to use this favor to beg the Emperor and Emperor Emeritus."
"Beg? Beg for what? Tell me. "The Emperor Emeritus breathed a sigh of relief. He really did not think of rewarding the Jia family with anything. Now that the Jia Daishan suggested it himself, it saved him the trouble of thinking. After all, he understood the Jia Daishan. He had always been sensible and would never make any excessive requests.
"This old official's second son did not pass the imperial examination this time, right? He is already so old and has a son. I want to ask for a job for him so that he can have something to do, "the Jia Daishan said. He had discussed this matter with the Jia Jing. In case the Emperor Emeritus wanted to reward them, if the reward was too excessive, they would push the Jia Zheng out and let the Emperor Emeritus ask for a job. If he really wanted to reward them, gold, silver, and jewelry were too little. In the end, he was afraid that he could only reward them with a title, but this was too much.
When the Emperor Emeritus heard the Jia Daishan's words, he understood in his heart. Sure enough, Dai Shan never disappointed him. It was just giving Dai Shan's son a job. This was not a big deal. "Emperor, what do you think?" The Emperor Emeritus looked at Tu Chen and asked.
"Of course, I have no problem with that." Tu Chen complained in his heart. This was equivalent to selling his official title in front of him. However, at the same time, he also felt that it was just a loss of an official position. Compared to making a move on the Jia Family's title, resigning was the easiest.
"What about you?" The Emperor Emeritus looked at the Jia Jing.
Jia Jing took a step forward and said, "Ningguo Province and Rongguo Province are from the same family. Your Majesty and Your Majesty have already rewarded us. How can you continue to reward us? If you reward us too much, it will make me feel uneasy," Jia Jing took a step forward with a slight smile on his face and said jokingly.
"That's true. Ningguo Province and Rongguo Province are from the same family. However, they are two families after all. Since we have given something to Rongguo Province, we should also reward you. We can't let you make such a big contribution without receiving anything. I remember that not long ago, Ru Yao offered a pair of mother and son vases as a tribute. Find them and give them to Jia Zhen's wife. As for Jia Jing and Jia Zhen, both of you are scholars. I still have two paintings of Wu Daozi with me. You can bring them back when the time comes," the Emperor Emeritus said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xia Lu, Jia Jing, and Jia Zhen knelt down to thank the Emperor Emeritus.
"Alright, Keqing has been recognized. You can all leave now." He still had a lot of things to do. Although Keqing had been recognized, only a few of them knew about it. None of the relatives outside knew about it. When the time came, they would hold a banquet to announce Keqing's identity to the world. Then, they would let the Imperial Court of Heaven choose a suitable day to record Keqing's name on the jade plate again.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The group of people left the Emperor Emeritus's palace.
Xia Lu was still a little worried. Although Qin Keqing had a high IQ and EQ, she was only five years old after all. Suddenly, she was suddenly alone in a strange place and facing a group of strangers. She would definitely be scared. Thinking of this, Xia Lu turned to look at the distracted Xiao Zhi. Although she couldn't bear to, she and Qin Keqing had only known each other for a short time. She definitely couldn't give up everything for Qin Keqing. Then, what about Mrs. Qin?
Zi Yuan had told her before that after two days of separation, Mrs. Qin and Qin Keqing were excited when they saw each other. What about now? Did she forget about Qin Keqing and Qin Ye, or did she come to beg her to continue taking care of Qin Keqing and complete the task that her master had given her to take good care of Qin Keqing?
After returning to Ningguo Province, Qin Ye and Xiao Zhi returned to the Rain-listening Villa to rest. This time, there were no servants watching over them. Xia Lu and Jia Zhen returned to the Sakura Temple.
"Don't you think that the recognition today was a little too fast? Did you recognize her just like that?" Xia Lu felt that it didn't make sense. In modern times, if such a plot appeared in a TV series, there would be twists and turns. How could it be so smooth?
Jia Zhen looked at Xia Lu as if he was looking at an idiot. "Do you think that the royal family can recognize their relatives so easily? They have already investigated everything in secret. During this period of time, they have basically found out everything about Qin Ye and his wife in the past few years. Do you think that the Emperor Emeritus will recognize them so easily?" Jia Zhen pursed his lips. However, no matter what, there was finally one less person in this residence who was fighting with him for his wife. Today, he could eat another bowl of rice.
