Nian Su Su is still very positive about receiving rewards.

She smiled and stood up, "I just discovered the problem with the imperial horse by accident, it's not a great achievement.

Besides, Your Majesty is blessed by heaven. Even if your servant has not discovered the problem, Your Majesty will surely turn the danger into safety.

The Emperor is clear about rewards and punishments, so he rewarded me, but I think the Crown Prince is the one who has made the greatest contribution, so I dare not take credit for it."

No matter what you think in your heart, you still have to put in enough effort to put on a good show.

Just like during the Chinese New Year when relatives ask me to do a few rounds of Tai Chi to give them red envelopes, I can pretend to say no, but you can't really not give it.

The emperor laughed loudly, pointing at Nian Susu and Concubine Ning below him and said, "This girl is not only smart, but also eloquent. She also knows not to take credit for herself and pulled Yu'er out to accompany her."

Because Nian Susu inadvertently helped during the day, Concubine Ning had a good impression of her.

Concubine Ning: "Prime Minister Nian's daughter is naturally not bad. I think she is smart and I like her very much. The emperor can't really not reward her just because she refuses. Otherwise, I will feel wronged for Miss Nian."

"Of course." The emperor nodded and looked at Qin Junyu again, "Yu'er has made a great contribution today. I wanted to ask you in private, but since Miss Nian mentioned it, let's reward him together."

Qin Junyu stood up and clasped his fists, "Protecting the emperor is my son's duty, it doesn't count as merit, and without merit, there is no reward, the emperor will only reward Miss Nian."

The emperor was helpless, "I never thought that there would be a day when I would run into obstacles everywhere, and no one would even accept my reward."

Qin Guanqing quickly replied, "Father, your son wants it! Considering that your son has no merit and no hard work, please give your son some reward."

Nian Susu burst out laughing.

I didn’t expect that the second prince is also a language artist.

With this smile, everyone's eyes were once again focused on her.

"What are you laughing at, Miss Nian?" Qin Guanqing asked openly, not feeling embarrassed or awkward at all because someone laughed out loud after he finished speaking.

Wang Yuejiao thought she was deliberately trying to attract the Second Prince's attention and rolled her eyes in disdain.

Nian Susu cleared her throat, suppressed her smile, and explained, "I just think the Second Prince's words are very interesting, and I don't mean anything else."

Qin Guanqing laughed, "Miss Nian, you are too modest. In front of you, I am willing to admit defeat."

Concubine Ning said "Oh?" with great interest. "The second son always talks nonsense. Could it be that a grown girl's thoughts are so wild?"

The emperor agreed: "The person who can make the second son say the word 'I bow down to you' must be extraordinary."

Concubine Ning: "These two children are of similar age and have similar personalities. Maybe they can really play together. But the second child is not in Beijing all year round, so he probably has no chance to interact with the girls in Beijing."

Now that things have come to this, who can't tell that Concubine Ning intends to let Nian Susu and the Second Prince have more contact? Maybe she has already decided on this daughter-in-law in her heart.

Some girls have begun to worry that the emperor will marry Nian Su Su to the second prince because of this, right?

Nian Susu is the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion. If she marries the second prince, she will definitely be the principal wife. If they want to marry again, they can only be concubines. Even if they are side concubines, they are still concubines.

Who would be willing to be a concubine? If it was a concubine's daughter, she would be willing to do so, but if it was a legitimate daughter, she would definitely not be willing to be a concubine, even if the person was the second prince, she would have to think carefully.

Soon, Qin Junyu gave them a reassurance.

Qin Junyu said calmly: "Second brother and Miss Nian have similar personalities, and can indeed be friends."

Concubine Ning understood what he meant. He just wanted to make the relationship between Nian Susu and Qin Guanqing more like friends. In this way, the emperor would not have the idea of ​​getting married.

She looked unhappy, but didn't say anything.

Qin Guanqing just smiled and didn't refute.

The girls' restless moods calmed down a little, but they were still not completely relieved.

Women were the most delicate in their thoughts, and after a period of observation, they could all sense that the Second Prince was interested in Nian Susu. This interest went beyond friendship, but did not reach the level of love.

If they were allowed to interact a few more times, the Second Prince might really fall in love with Nian Susu.

As for what Nian Susu thinks, they don't care.

The emperor brought the topic back to the reward.

The two pushed each other back and forth, and finally the emperor decided to reward Qin Junyu with an ancient sword - Chengying Sword.

Qin Junyu had seen the Chengying Sword once and was very interested in it. Of course, the emperor did not take it seriously, but now that he remembered it, he gave the sword to him as a reward.

Nian Susu promised to fulfill one of her wishes at any time.

This is something that Nian Su Su has been longing for. To have the emperor owe him a favor is ten thousand times more valuable than gold, silver and jewelry!

The two of them thanked him happily.

Wang Yuejiao was extremely jealous and started speaking ill of Nian Susu to Miss Lin.

"How do you think she knew that the imperial horse was drugged? No one noticed it from such a distance, but she saw it. There must be a conspiracy.

Maybe she is in cahoots with the virtuous king. She first drugged the virtuous king and then betrayed him to ask for a reward!"

Wang Yuejiao was so angry that her teeth were itching. It was clearly her guess, but she spoke it like it was the fact.

Miss Lin knew it was nonsense without even thinking about it.

Wang Yuejiao is stupid and she doesn't want to make any unnecessary explanations, so just go along with what she says.

"I find it strange too. Maybe there are some dirty things we don't know about."

Wang Yuejiao snorted coldly and winked at the little maid behind Nian Susu.

The maid understood and leaned over to pour wine for Nian Susu.

Nian Qiaoyue raised her glass to her, "Sister, congratulations, you have made great contributions and not only have you been appreciated by the emperor, but you have also received rewards.

Unlike me, I don’t know anything, so I will have to rely more on my sister in the future.”

Nian Susu becomes alert when he sees alcohol.

She didn't dare drink a single sip of alcohol tonight because she was afraid that something unexpected might happen.

In the original book, the wine that belonged to Nian Qiaoyue was drunk by her, which led to a disaster. This time, she did not intend to protect Nian Qiaoyue from the disaster.

One thing she couldn't figure out was when was the drug put into the wine? And who put it in?

Even though many people present looked down on Nian Qiaoyue, they would not drug her to harm her. The original book only briefly mentioned it, without making it clear who the real murderer was.

Now that she is in the situation, she cannot analyze who drugged her, so she has no way to guard against it and can only be more cautious.

Was the glass of wine in Qiao Yue's hand that year problematic or normal?

Nian Susu picked up the wine cup at hand and didn't notice anything wrong.

Nian Qiaoyue raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, his brows slightly furrowed, which showed that he was not a frequent drinker.

Nian Susu observed her for a while and found that she looked normal, so he handed his wine glass to her lips.

——Wang Yuejiao, who was standing behind her, stared at her movements intently and became visibly excited.

As long as Nian Susu drinks that glass of wine, tonight will definitely be the most unbearable night in her life.
