The Emperor felt a little guilty as he was making up his mind.
Look at the Xie family. Although they did not e from a powerful background, their family was simple. They were not a big family and did not have the power to tear the sky open. They were even purer than water.
As the Emperor, it was inappropriate for him to reward them directly.
“Your father and brother are the pillars of the country. Now that they have obtained such a good thing, they sent it to me instantly. I am relieved. I initially wanted to bestow a marriage for your brother, but since it’s not good to rush the marriage, let’s forget about it. However, I will remember this. When your brother finds a suitable wife, it won’t be too late for me to issue a decree. Get your father enter the palace another day and see what his wishes are.” The Emperor was extremely gentle.
How could an ordinary official be conferred a rank directly?
Xie Qiao knew that in her heart, so she was calm.
Previously, her father was just an insignificant general with a miscellaneous title. Although his rank was not low, he did not have any real power and had not much say. However, it was different now. It was indeed difficult to rise further by presenting a treasure.
As long as the Emperor remembered this matter, it would be fine.
In the future, if her brother were to be promoted, it would definitely be faster.
If she were to die in the future, the Emperor might be able to make an exception and allow the Xie family to bee a true noble in the capital, the kind that would ascend to the rank of nobility.
Therefore, at this moment, Xie Qiao was still obediently thanking the Emperor. The attitude on her face was respectful and modest, and she looked like an honest child.
The teachers who had seen Xie Niushan felt their eyelids twitch.
Look at this young lady. Those who did not know better would have thought that she came from some aristocratic family. She’s too well-behaved!
Who would have thought that her father was Xie Niushan?!
The other people present were all looking at Xie Qiao with envy.
This Young Lady Xie’s life was too good.
It was already rumored that this young lady was destined to die, but the Emperor was actually so kind to her. Was he not afraid that this person would kill the Crown Prince?!
The handkerchief in Dong Xiyun’s hand was almost torn to shreds by her.
Xie Qiao sat down slowly, and Dong Xiyun stared at her. “Young Lady Xie, you really don’t show your true colors, do you?”
“The jealousy is so strong. Where is it ing from?” Xie Qiao sniffed in all seriousness.
Dong Xiyun wanted to curse.
“Young Lady Xie, we’re no longer strangers. Why didn’t you tell me about the world map when you brought it here? If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have given my bright moon pearl. pared to your world map, it’s really nothing.” Dong Xiyun’s tone was affectionate, it was as if Xie Qiao and she were good friends.
Xie Qiao chuckled. “Your bright moon pearl is indeed nothing. To put it bluntly, it’s just a glowing stone. It’s not even the size of a fist, yet you have to offer it in front of so many people. It must be hard on you. Did your family force you to do that?”
Dong Xiyun looked at her in disbelief.
“It’s understandable that your family is poor. However, a girl must be treated well. It’s one thing for your family to see how inexperienced you are, but your father actually forced you to show yourself in front of so many people… Sigh, you poor child.” Xie Qiao’s expression was loving, it was as if Dong Xiyun was her family.
Was it not just acting? She was familiar with that!
Dong Xiyun had never seen such a shameless person.
In the past, when people like Xia Yayun heard what she said, they would usually go along with her, or they would have intense reactions, which plemented her calmness and understanding.
In short, they would definitely not be like Xie Qiao, who was so… shameless!
