Chapter 342: Accepting her as a godson
Seeing her embarrassed look, Xuanyuan Qing smiled and said, "The female sect leader Renzong has a surname of Feng, and her last name is Ji."
"Feng Ji...this name sounds nice! It's quite poetic." Gu Chan said with wide eyes.
No wonder he is in a high position. Just saying the name doesn’t sound simple.
Xuanyuan Qing whispered, "You have to be more polite to her in the future. Her mother is my father's imperial sister. Even I have to call her imperial cousin. You must not Offend her."
"Huh? That's it! It's over! I already offended her when I was in Renzong in Kyoto."
It was only now that she knew that after a long time of research, it turned out that Renzong, the female sect leader, was actually a member of the royal family, and her mother was actually the sister of the current emperor.
If I had known this was the case, she would have kept a lower profile when she was in Renzong. How could she beat so many people in front of her!
Regret!
Gu Chan really regrets thinking about it now.
Xuanyuan Qing chuckled and said, "Okay, don't be so scared. I have known the emperor's cousin since I was a child. She has always been open-minded and generous. She is not a stingy woman. She will not care about you so much."
"It's hard to say, a woman has a deep heart. Anyway, you have to protect me from now on. I'm afraid she will punish me." Gu Chan said with a worried look on her face.
Damn it!
She is a woman.
Isn’t she clear about the virtues of women?
Three women can form several groups in total, and intrigues are common. Compared with dealing with men, it is obvious that you have to be more careful when dealing with women, otherwise you may fall into trouble one day. In a woman’s hands, you still have to count the money for her stupidly!
Xuanyuan Qing smiled silently, feeling that Gu Chan was too cautious and did not pay too much attention.
At this time, Feng Ji finally walked in from the door wearing a thick white robe and looking very elegant.
"Welcome to the sect master." The generals immediately stood up and saluted with clasped fists.
Feng Ji smiled and signaled, walked to the door and paused, reached into her sleeves and took out the imperial edict and said, "Generals, accept the edict."
"I accept the decree, long live my emperor." Everyone knelt down and said in unison.
Feng Ji immediately opened the imperial edict and started reciting it.
Gu Chan knelt on the ground and listened quietly. When Feng Ji finished reading, she realized that this time the border was a complete victory, the emperor was so happy that he directly awarded the generals of the Central Plains camp, not only They were rewarded with gold, silver and jewels, and they were also assigned to serve as deputy generals in various camps in Tiancang Kingdom. This was considered to be a promotion to everyone's official position!
The three Tian Ying brothers were transferred back to Kyoto to take up important positions. It was considered that they had come to Zhongyuan City to pay their dues, and they could finally return to their hometown in Kyoto to serve as officials in the court, without losing the face of their father, the great general who protects the country. .
After the imperial edict was recited and everyone stood up, Xuanyuan Qing stared at Feng Ji and said, "That's not right, Cousin Huang. The memorial I wrote to my father was very clear. This is a great border victory. The merit is due to Gu Chan and his generals! Why did the emperor only give rewards to the generals of the Central Plains camp, but the imperial decree said nothing about Gu Chan and his generals?"
"You! Why are you anxious? I said at the beginning that the generals were to receive the order, and I did not say that Gu Chan and others would receive the order. This imperial order was only for the generals, not for Gu Chan and others. The emperor had another secret order, etc. After a while, the banquet is over, and we will go back to the backyard study to discuss merits and rewards for Gu Chan and others alone." Feng Ji explained.
Xuanyuan Qing nodded with satisfaction and warmly invited Feng Ji to sit down and start the banquet.
During the dinner, everyone said nothing on the surface, but secretly they were all speculating in their hearts, wondering what the emperor meant by such a move.
It is obvious that Gu Chan and her six men contributed the most to this great border victory. If they want to be rewarded based on their merits, they should also be rewarded. However, the emperor deliberately concealed it from the generals. There must be something wrong with this. Its profound meaning lies in.
Gu Chan didn't care about this. Don't say that the emperor is hiding it, even if he doesn't reward her, she doesn't care. After all, she doesn't want to be famous, so the emperor's move is exactly what she wants.
No, she is eating and drinking very happily at the moment.
Feng Ji sat next to Gu Chan. Seeing Gu Chan so happy, she couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will be unfair to you and not reward you and your generals for their merits?"< br>
"The lord is overly worried. What's the point? As a citizen of Tiancang country, it is my duty to be loyal to the emperor. It doesn't matter whether the emperor rewards you or not." Gu Chan said with a strange smile.
"Okay! I was right about you, boy. You are truly a rare and loyal minister in the world!" Feng Ji said with great admiration.
Gu Chan suddenly looked embarrassed by what she said. She didn't know what to say at all, so she could only smile and lower her head and continue eating.
Damn!
She just doesn't want to be famous. She has nothing to do with being a loyal minister.
Feng Ji said this to her, which really made her feel a little embarrassed.
Xuanyuan Qing promptly smoothed things over and quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, cousin Huang, regarding what I mentioned in the memorial, asking my father to allocate funds for border relief, what do you mean by my father?"< br>
"The emperor said there is no money." Feng Ji spread her hands and said.
The smile on Xuanyuan Qing’s face disappeared and she was extremely speechless.
Although this was expected by him, when his father personally said that he had no money and could not pay, even he, the second generation emperor, could not do anything about it.
After that, he fell silent and didn't want to say any more.
Feng Ji didn't care about him, so she pulled Gu Chan into a chat with great enthusiasm. She treated her as if she were her own son, giving her a feeling of overflowing motherly love. She was restless and on pins and needles!
An hour later.
After everyone had eaten and drank, Feng Ji suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "Everyone, please be a witness. Tonight, our sect master will take advantage of this festive occasion to accept Gu Chan as our wife." Godson."
"Wow! Gu Chan is so lucky to be the godson of Renzong. He will have a bright future!"
"Yes! How can this kid be? Ah! I am so envious that the lord of the sect thinks so highly of me."
"Congratulations, Shopkeeper Gu, for becoming the godson of the lord of the sect. You must be filial to your godmother in the future."< br>
Tian Ying and other generals were stunned for a moment, and then everyone clasped their fists in congratulations.
The lobby soon became noisy and lively.
Gu Chan sat motionless, looking up at Feng Ji with her mouth wide open, dumbfounded for a while.
Damn it!
She never expected it!
This girl is so full of food and drink that she actually does this weird trick to her.
At this moment, she is really in extreme trouble, recognize this godmother! She always feels like she's been cheated. Don't you recognize this godmother? He is her immediate boss, so she must not be punished in the future?
So don't mention how uncomfortable Gu Chan is at this time.
