The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny-Chapter 1081 - External Family

Chapter 1081 External Family

It was easy for Xie Niushan to pretend to be loyal and honest. Now, he was giving out good stuff again. The emperor looked at him and felt happy.

Xie Niushan was once an out-and-out bandit. He had thought that this bandit would not be able to make it to the grand hall, but he did not think that he was still honest. He was not greedy for power or money. His private vault was full from the gifts that he gave.

It was a good one.

Thinking about Prince Rong again, he was a little upset.

He had to do what he did with his identity.

Prince Rong’s identity was important. He was a relative of the emperor. Even if the Xie family was the Crown Prince’s external family, they were still officials. Yet, he was so eager to give such good stuff to the Xie family. Those who did not know better would think that he was trying to rope in the officials.

After so many years, Prince Rong only grew old, but he was still immature.

“I’ll take it, but it’s not good to keep taking stuff from your family. Men, bring me my golden black tassel spear and give it to my beloved minister! The Crown Prince is about to get married in a few days. Your daughter is really not bad, but your family background was still a little thin. I’ll give you a thousand acres of good land to prevent the reputation of your poor family from spreading outside and making the Crown Prince worry,” the Emperor said.

He was giving them a piece of land? Xie Niushan was happy. “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!” It was still better to be an official, much more comfortable than being a bandit!

As long as he knelt down and went to train soldiers to do some minor work every day, he would be given salaries and rewards. On this day, even if an immortal came, he would not trade it for anything!

The golden black tassel spear that the emperor had given was actually just a decoration.

If it was really used to fight, it would not be suitable. The spear shaft was wrapped with a layer of particularly beautiful golden silk pattern. The spearhead was also inlaid with white jade and red and blue gemstones. It looked dazzling in golden light and was very beautiful, but if it was swung, the spear would definitely be broken.

Such a valuable thing could not be sold.

It could only be kept as a family heirloom and be worshiped in the ancestral hall. In the future, it would be told to future generations how much a certain ancestor was favored to be able to obtain such a good item…

As for the good farmland that the emperor had given…

Xie Niushan took a closer look after coming out of the palace. The manor was not in the capital, and it was very far away.

However, the soil there was fertile, and there was a bumper harvest every year. It was indeed a good manor. Once the decree was issued, the future production would be handed over to the Xie family to arrange.

The Xie family was rewarded again. On the side of the capital, there were some who were envious, and some who were jealous.

They were envious of this bandit family. They were actually able to gain favor of the Crown Prince and turn over a new leaf, flaunting their might.

They were also envious of the Emperor’s favor. From the moment the Crown Prince’s marriage was decided, the rewards had never stopped. Initially, they were from a small family, but they were rewarded with land. It was estimated that on the day of the wedding, it would be grand!

Just as the emperor’s reward came down, more guests came to the Xie Residence.

When they saw the note, they found out it was actually the Crown Prince’s external family.

The Gu family had long fallen, but the Empress’ father was still around. This was to deter the descendants of the Gu family and prevent these children from acting recklessly.

Now that the Crown Prince was getting married, the members of the Gu family naturally had to visit.

The ones who wanted to meet Xie Qiao were two women, both of whom were the Empress’ sisters-in-law. The Gu family was quite prosperous.

Since they had arrived, Xie Qiao definitely had to meet them.

After they were invited in, the eyes of the two madams of the Gu family lit up when they saw Xie Qiao.

“I’ve long heard that Young Lady Xie is extremely beautiful. Today, I can see that it’s true. When I think of those monkeys in my family, I really feel ashamed of my inferiority!” The person who spoke was the first madam of the Gu family.

The Crown Prince had five or six uncles and three direct relatives.

None of them were up to the task. The most ridiculous one was his third uncle. He was initially a prodigy, but he suddenly had a leg disease and his temperament changed drastically. Many years ago, he killed a woman, which made the Gu family even worse. He angered his grandfather to death.
