Chapter 40 Please reward and reward

The second day of the dynasty meeting

After reporting to the emperor about this mission to the court meeting and submitting an alliance, Ning Youbei publicly requested credit for Qu Chu and Lingxiao Pavilion.

"Your brother, I have been assassinated many times on my way to this time. If General Qu and the people of Lingxiao Pavilion had not fought to protect each other, I would have died long ago."

But before he could say anything, a minister stood up and objected.

"Report to Your Majesty, General Qu's trip was originally intended to protect the safety of the King of Chu. This is her duty, and there is no need to reward him separately."

Ning Youbei was so angry that he pointed at the official and cursed: "You don't feel hurt when you stand and speak. You have never experienced assassination. You don't know how dangerous the situation was at that time."

The left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites who was on the mission this time stood up at the right time.

"Report to Your Majesty, the past is indeed dangerous. The killer's martial arts are very powerful. I thought I could not survive several times. General Qu was so desperate that he protected us.

If the guards were not General Qu this time, we would have died on the road if they were anyone else."

Du Ximing also stood up.

"Your Majesty, what the King of Chu and the Lord said is true, and this journey is indeed extremely dangerous.

Once, General Qu's thigh was stabbed in by a barb. When he was dug out, a hole as big as a bowl was cut, and blood flowed all over the floor. The people watching looked pale, but General Qu didn't even hum.

Such a brave general should indeed be praised."

Du Ximing was just a sixth-rank official and was not qualified to attend court, but because he was an accompanying official, he was asked to attend court today.

After Du Ximing finished speaking, other officials accompanying him also stood up to ask for credit for Qu Chu.

Not to mention anything else, just General Qu's performance in the tent made them brave and not be trembling.

Seeing someone coming out to speak for Qu Chu, Ning Youbei's face was not so ugly.

"Brother, in fact, it is not only General Qu and the people from Lingxiao Pavilion who want to be rewarded, but the officials who travel with me this time should be rewarded. I have drafted a merit certificate and ask you to review it."

After saying that, Ning Youbei took out a memorial from his sleeve.

Eunuch Rong stepped forward and took the presentation to the emperor.

After reading this, the emperor gave the memorial to the Minister of Personnel.

"Shangshu Su, I see that the reward for King Chu is very suitable. You can follow the content above to propose a promotion list."

Prime Minister Fang had to leave the list.

"Your Majesty, should you disclose the content of the King of Chu's request for me first?"

The emperor signaled Shangshu Su to read it out.

Ning Youbei's memorial was not otherwise included, but he just asked the Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites to be promoted to the second-rank Hanlin Academy, the second-rank Hanlin Academy, the sixth-rank Honglu Temple Office, the fifth-rank Honglu Temple Office, the fifth-rank Hongzhong, the fifth-rank Chinese, and so on.

The people who followed Ning Youbei on mission are naturally happy.

In fact, they did not make any contribution to this trip. The fact that they were able to sign the covenant successfully was mainly a shock to General Qu, but they were indeed frightened and suffered.

Now that the King of Chu can remember them, he will naturally be grateful.

In fact, this was also agreed upon by the emperor and Ning Youbei before.

The people who went on mission this time were all neutral factions of the court and were not under any vassal. But after this, they all became emperors.

Even if you cannot serve the emperor wholeheartedly, you will not easily be attracted by Duke Wei or Prime Minister Fang.

After Secretary Su finished reading the book, Prime Minister Fang could not find any inappropriate things.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, the emperor spoke:

"In addition to the rewards given by the King of Chu to the accompanying officials, I specially named General Qu as the third-rank Andingbo; and Lingxiao Pavilion as the "No. 1 Pavilion in the World".

This matter is decided so there is no need to discuss it.”

In fact, after Qu Chu officially became the Princess of Chu, he was at least at the second or first grade level, which was higher than the third grade Anding Bo. However, her title for her contributions was different from being a title for her.

Duke Wei and Prime Minister Fang and others wanted to object, but the other officials who accompanied him were promoted, and it would be unreasonable to not be promoted to Qu Chu. Moreover, the officials who accompanied him repeatedly asked for credit for Qu Chu.

Qu Chu did not come to court.

She had told Ning Youbei before that if the emperor asked her about something, he would summon her alone, so that she would not be treated as a courtier by the officials.

In fact, Qu Chu was too lazy to see the officials in the court quarreling over their own private interests. If the emperor really needed her, he would summon her.

...

After going to court, Ning You went north to the General's Mansion. He was reading the imperial edict for the emperor to grant Qu Chu the third-rank An Dingbo.

After arriving at the General's Mansion, Ning Youbei was told that Qu Chu was in the backyard.

Ning Youbei thought about it and stopped the butler from inviting Qu Chu.

"I and your general will get married soon. I don't have so many concerns. Let me go by myself."

The butler originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't stop it.

Ning Youbei looked as he walked, and the style of the general was as cold and hard as Qu Chu, without decoration or flowers... However, after arriving at the backyard, it was completely different.

The backyard was planted with flowers and plants except for the road, but Ning Youbei looked carefully and found that none of them were known to him.

These flowers and plants have various strange smells, and they are not so bad when they are mixed together, which is similar to what they smelled at Mando Villa.

Are these herbs?

This is Ning Youbei's first time in the backyard of the General's Mansion. He didn't expect this to be the case. He remembered the junior sister Qu Chu introduced him to him before, and was her junior sister planted?

...

Qu Chu and Qu Bingyu were "barbecuing" in the yard.

It was said to be a barbecue, but in fact it was just a grill with two maids barbecue there. On the large long table next to it, there was a large table of food, wine, meat... and strange "flowers and plants".

Qu Chu and Qu Bingyu sat opposite each other, and their clothes were simple and casual. Qu Chu was wearing a white ice silk robe without a belt, and his hair was tied casually. Qu Bingyu was wearing a long white thin snow-blonde skirt, and his hair was simply tied up in a bun and a pearl bead flower.

Qu Chu was drinking, and Qu Bingyu picked up the "flowers and plants" for her.

It is June now, and the temperature in Yudu is not too low, but the sight does not make Ning Youbei feel hot, but it has a sense of comfort and comfort.

"I didn't expect Achu to live such a comfortable life!"

Ning Youbei's words successfully made Qu Chu and Qu Bingyu's eyes look over.

Qu Chu sat down without moving, but Qu Bingyu stood up and saluted: "Prince".

"Is there something wrong?"

Qu Chu's voice was still as warm as ever.

"Add me some bowls and chopsticks."

Ning Youbei sat down on Qu Bingyu's chair without hesitation.

Qu Bingyu gave a gift and went to Ning Youbei to get bowls and chopsticks.
