After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 234 I want to ask for an official title

On a sunny day, Qu Chu's class returned to court.

After the contract with Nanyi Kingdom was signed, Xueshi Han and others were supposed to return to Yudu first, but suddenly someone in the army was poisoned by dove poison, and an official from the Ministry of Rites was also infected.

Qu Chu simply kept Xueshi Han and his party behind, lest some of them were infected with the dove poison and didn't know it.Qu Chu didn't let them go back to Yudu together until all the dove poison was under control.

However, because of the Jiugu poison, Qu Chu did not let Nanyi Kingdom go so easily.

This time, the Nanyi delegation accompanied Han Xueshi and the others back to Yudu. In addition to proclaiming their vassals to the Dayu Emperor on behalf of the Nanyi King, they also brought the first year's tribute.

Without a god, Zai is like a headless chicken with no opinion.

Although Ji Ya has become the new priest, she is still young and can't convince the crowd.

Under the coercion of Qu Chu, the Nanyi Kingdom could only raise all the first year's tribute and send it to Dayu.

……

The team deliberately passed through Yicheng to pick up Ning Youbei.

Ning Youbei stayed in Yicheng by himself for nearly three months, and almost collapsed.

As soon as he saw Qu Chu, Ning Youbei, who was eager to see through, didn't care about the presence of other people, and grabbed Qu Chu's sleeve: "Ah Chu, you are so heartless, you left me alone in Yicheng for a few months. "

Qu Chu knew he was wrong, so he made up a sentence to coax him: "I went to avenge you."

Ning Youbei was not so easy to coax this time.

"You don't even bat an eye when you tell a lie now. You are obviously going to avenge them, and you want to drag me in."

While talking, Ning Youbei pointed at Su Yingxue and the other three indignantly.

Su Yingxue raised her chin and looked at Ning Youbei with satisfaction.

Seeing Su Yingxue's proud appearance, Ning Youbei wanted to quarrel with her.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Qu Chu hurriedly half pulled and half hugged Ning Youbei and walked into the house, coaxing him: "Let's go in, and I'll tell you what happened in the past few months."

If Ning Youbei really quarreled with Ying Xue, she still doesn't know what kind of mean words Ying Xue said out of that tricky mouth.

Qu Chu didn't want everyone to see a joke and make Ning Youbei lose face in front of so many people.

Being dragged into the room by Qu Chu alone, Ning Youbei was a little happier.

Qu Chu touched Ning Youbei's face, and said softly:

"It's my fault for leaving you alone in Yicheng, but I have to pick them up personally.

The three of them went to Nanyi because of me, and I can't leave them alone. "

Even if he was angry again, Ning Youbei's anger was relieved a lot after being coaxed by Qu Chu in such a soft voice.

He grabbed Qu Chu's hand to play with, and looked at their hands.

"I actually knew in my heart that you went to Nanyi not only to bring Su Zhuangzhu and the others back, but also because it was the emperor's intention.

It's just that without you by my side, I feel flustered. "

Qu Chu's heart softened even more, she lifted Ning Youbei's chin, and met Ning Youbei's gaze.

"This time is a special situation, your body is not allowed to move. I will never leave you alone in the future, and I will take you with me wherever I go."

"You mustn't lie to me!"

"Okay, I won't lie to you."

Only then did Ning Youbei become happy.

Seeing that Ning Youbei had been coaxed, Qu Chucai said: "But I really avenged you. I cut off Ning Youdi's right arm."

Ningyou North Road:

"I've heard. I'm very happy that you can do this for me. After returning to Yudu, I will personally tell Brother Huang: I asked you to avenge me, and I will not let Brother Huang punish you."

Qu Chu's heart turned for a while, and he didn't tell Ning Youbei not to do this.

……

Although Ning Youbei's injury hadn't fully healed yet, the imperial doctor said that if he drove slowly in a carriage, the impact would not be too great.

Ning Youbei would not stay in Yicheng no matter what, even if Qu Chu said he would stay with him in Yicheng for a while.

Qu Chu had no choice but to remake Ning Youbei into a carriage that could lie down on. In the carriage, thick bedding was spread and several large cushions were placed.

Ning Youbei could sit halfway in the carriage and talk to Qu Chu who was riding outside the carriage.

……

Not long after leaving Yicheng, Su Yingxue bid farewell to Qu Chu, and she wanted to go back to Mantuo Villa.

Qu Chu pulled Su Yingxue aside and asked her:

"Yingxue, I will definitely ask for credit for you when I go back this time. What I mean is that you may be indispensable to the court in the future. Why don't I ask for a title for you, so that you won't have to salute when you go to Yudu in the future."

Su Yingxue thought for a while, "If you want to seal it, you have to seal it with a high-ranking title. It's meaningless to have a title that doesn't rank high or low. I might as well not have it."

Qu Chu thought for a while, "It's a bit difficult to be a princess, but I'm sure I can make a county master."

Su Yingxue asked: "How high is the county master?"

"The head of the county is the third rank. Generally, the daughter of the county king can be granted the title. It is the same rank as Yi, Zhao, and Yuan."

"What was the name of that beautiful woman from some tribe when we went to the west? What rank is she?"

"Her name is Hai Lizhu, and she is the younger sister of the leader of the Haiqing Department. She has been conferred the title of Concubine Li, and she is a genuine first-class."

Su Yingxue rubbed her chin, Hai Lizhu was the first grade, so she was awarded the third grade, it doesn't seem too high.

Seeing Su Yingxue's expression, Qu Chu understood what she meant.Qu Chu explained to her:

"Ying Xue, it's like this, unless you are born into a royal family or marry a royal family member, your grade will not be too high.

I have made so many achievements before, but I was only a general of the first rank. Later, I was granted the title of uncle of the third rank after I made contributions to the west.But if she married Ning Youbei, she would naturally be the second-rank Princess Chu, one level higher than her uncle. "

Su Yingxue was indignant.

"Then if you hadn't married the King of Chu, wouldn't you still have to salute those noble concubines, princesses, and eldest princesses? How could it be so unfair?"

"When you see princesses, concubines, and concubines who are higher than me, it is necessary to salute, but the Dayu Dynasty also has regulations: court officials do not need to kneel when facing people above the harem system.

That is to say: Even if I meet the queen mother or queen, as long as I don't want to, I don't have to kneel. "

Su Yingxue was thoughtful.

"Then the county magistrate still has to kneel down when he sees the empress dowager?"

"The head of the county is at the third-rank level. I see the queen mother and queen every day and need to salute but don't need to kneel down. Only important occasions need to kneel down."

"Then if you are an ordinary official, will you kneel when you see the prince?"

Qu Chu continued to educate Su Yingxue:

"There is a regulation in the Dayu Dynasty: All students with high reputations can avoid kneeling when facing officials, so serious officials don't need to kneel.

Let's put it this way, as long as I want, I only need to kneel down to the emperor alone. "

Su Yingxue continued to think.

Seeing that Su Yingxue was thinking, Qu Chu didn't bother her, and waited for her to make up her mind.

After a while, Su Yingxue said something surprising:
"The contribution I have made this time is not small, and it is also for the soldiers of the imperial court and the people of the Dayu Kingdom, so can I not ask for the title of princess, county owner, etc., but invite similar court officials?
Of course, I am not going to serve as an official in the court, it is just a false name. "

Qu Chu understood what Su Yingxue meant, "You don't want to kneel down to those concubines?"

Su Yingxue nodded.

Qu Chu thought for a while, "Okay, I will operate it for you. I haven't figured out how to do it, but it's not something that can be done all at once."
