Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 132 Reward

After she was able to move again, Gu Qingyuan felt that the whole world became bright. She opened her mouth and waited for Ji Mingzhao to feed her with a smile.

Seeing her open her mouth like a young bird waiting to be fed, Ji Mingzhao picked up the bowl and spoon, blew on the soup to cool it down before bringing it to her mouth.

Gu Qingyuan enjoyed his feeding. While he was scooping soup with a spoon, she asked him, "Have you eaten yet?"

Ji Mingzhao shook his head. He knew that the young master had just returned and was tired from running around outside and needed to replenish her body, so he spent the entire morning stewing chicken soup for her.

He hasn't even tasted it himself.

"That's it."

Before Ji Mingzhao understood what she meant, he suddenly saw her face getting closer to him, then her lips touched his, and then the soup passed into his mouth.

Ji Mingzhao knew that she was always bold, but he didn't expect her to treat him like this in the daytime with the servants present.

After her lips left his, he saw the smile on her face grow even wider, and asked himself, "How does it taste?"

Ji Mingzhao blushed, not knowing whether she was referring to the chicken soup or her...

"It's...delicious." He stammered in response.

Gu Qingyuan didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for teasing her young husband in broad daylight.

She just stood there looking at Ji Mingzhao in a daze, and after he came to his senses, she continued to pick up the spoon to feed her.

Gu Qingyuan held his hand and said, "I'd better drink it directly."

The chicken soup is still warm and has a rich aroma that leaves a lasting impression.

The meat inside is soft and tender, which is the result of stewing for a whole morning.

After drinking, Gu Qingyuan wiped his mouth nonchalantly with his hand and said with a smile: "The soup is delicious, and the meat is delicious too. I like it."

"As long as the young master likes it."

Ji Mingzhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as he was afraid that she would not like it.

There was still some left, but Gu Qingyuan refused to drink it no matter what, saying he was full, so he let the rest drink.

In order to verify his statement, Gu Qingyuan even burped.

Ji Mingzhao was forced to sit down by her, and under her "supervision", he drank the rest of the soup.

It is easy to feel sleepy after eating and drinking. Ji Mingzhao planned to pack up and go back, but Gu Qingyuan grabbed his arm.

"The sun is shining outside now, you might as well go back later."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, young master."

Ji Mingzhao squeezed on a couch with her, with a smile as warm as spring breeze on his face.

"Take a nap."

Gu Qingyuan yawned. She had been dreaming all night and didn’t get a good rest.

When I woke up, I had a stiff neck, and it was thanks to Ji Mingzhao's hot compress and massage that I got better.

The two hadn't slept in the same bed together for a long time. At this moment, Ji Mingzhao and her were lying together, their bodies tense. Gu Qingyuan seemed to see his nervousness and joked, "Are you afraid of me? Let me guess, are you afraid of what I will do to you?"

"no!"

"Alright, alright, just kidding. Go to sleep first."

There are ice cubes in the room for cooling. The ice cubes are placed on the windowsill. When the wind blows, the room becomes very cool.

Ji Mingzhao was not sleepy at first, but when he heard her even breathing as she fell asleep beside him, the sound was like a lullaby, or perhaps sleepiness was contagious, and he slowly fell asleep too.

The two of them slept until the afternoon.

In the afternoon, it was not so hot outside, so Gu Qingyuan asked Chunfen to escort Ji Mingzhao back.

The next few days.

Gu Qingyuan would visit whoever he thought of, treating everyone equally.

After a few days of leisure, Gu Qingyuan, General Gu and others were summoned to the palace, saying that they would be rewarded.

After this period of discussion between the empress and the ministers, it was decided to appoint Gu Qingyuan as Yunqiwei, a fifth-rank official position.

This time, thanks to her, the army of Southern Xinjiang was defeated so quickly, and their king was captured, making Southern Xinjiang a city of Daning Kingdom.

Gu Qingyuan was promoted from a librarian in an instant, and the empress also rewarded her with a lot of gold and silver.

Gu Qingyuan quickly knelt down to thank Feng En, and General Gu next to him also received a lot of rewards.

"By the way, there is a house in the capital that has been vacant for a long time. It would be better to give it to Young Master Gu."

"I thank your Majesty."

Just after Gu Qingyuan finished thanking her, he heard that the empress wanted to reward him with a house. Before he could even stand firmly, he immediately knelt down.

“Here’s the title deed.”

The Queen asked someone to bring the title deed and asked Gu Qingyuan to sign and put her fingerprint on it.

Gu Qingyuan took a quick look and found that the house was located in a prosperous area in the capital, not far from the restaurant she visited last time.

A house like this would cost at least a thousand taels of silver, not to mention it belongs to the royal family, so even if you have money you may not be able to buy it.

Others who had made military achievements also received rewards from the Queen one after another. As for the soldiers who died on the battlefield, the Queen had someone compile a list of names in the past few days and sent people to deliver food and silver to their homes.

After all, we cannot let the people feel disheartened. They sacrificed their lives for the country, so it was a worthy death.

Where there is reward, there is punishment.

The third and fourth princesses who had fled the battlefield and their men were brought here.

Gu Qingyuan, holding the land deed, stood leisurely by the side with General Gu, watching the fun.

"Do you two admit your guilt?"

The Queen's stern voice rang out, and the two of them fell to their knees.

"Mother Queen! I had no choice but to do this."

The third princess wiped her tears and argued for herself.

She had never actually been to the battlefield, so what if she was scared when she saw the bloody scene?

Yun Guijun stood up and babbled something, but could not say a word.

From his anxious expression, one could guess that he was pleading for the Third Princess.

"Is this the biological father of the Third Princess?"

Gu Qingyuan turned her head and asked General Gu quietly.

"Yes, he is Yun Guijun. He was not mute before, but something happened and his tongue was removed."

Gu Qingyuan felt an inexplicable pain at the root of his tongue, shook his head, and continued to watch the fun.

The princess had long disliked these two, and now she stepped forward and said, "I originally thought these two imperial sisters came here to lend us a hand. But I never thought they would return after seeing blood. As members of the royal family, how can they be so cowardly?"

The others nodded in agreement. Even the once dissolute Young Master Gu had made military achievements, but the Third and Fourth Princesses deserted the battlefield, which was despicable.

The Fourth Princess's face was pale, but she knew that since she had chosen to escape, she would have to face such consequences.

In the end, the queen beat the two men with thirty sticks in public, confiscated their shops, and handed them over to the princess for management.

But after all, they are his own blood, it would not be good for them to die.

Instead, the other soldiers who escaped with the two were directly sentenced to death.

"Oh, by the way, Queen Mother, I have something else to ask."
