226: Amulet

Su Xinyi hurriedly said that she didn't dare. She was also unworthy of it. This time when she left the capital, she really did nothing. She just followed him and strolled back and forth.

The emperor looked at Hu Siyi. Hu Siyi was stunned for a moment, then turned around and went to the inner hall. Soon he came back with a brocade box that was more than three feet long and about six inches wide with carved and gilded corners.

The emperor looked at Su Xinyi, "This is a sword I got a few years ago. It's called Hongque. I'll give it to you."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment. She didn't know what Hongque sword was, but she saw that the faces of Prince Rong and Prince Xiang were obviously a little strange. She hesitated slightly, and Hu Siyi had already walked over and handed her the brocade box.

Su Xinyi had no choice but to take it and immediately said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The emperor looked at Su Xinyi and nodded slightly, "You have been away for so long, and your family is also thinking about you. You should go back first."

Su Xinyi immediately took her leave. She couldn't guess what His Majesty meant, but it shouldn't be a bad thing to reward her with a sword.

Before she turned and left, she glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and saw him nodding slightly at her, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

After Su Xinyi left the palace, she went straight back to the mansion. The people in the Duke of Qi's mansion had been waiting for the news. The doorman came out immediately when he saw the figure of the Sixth Miss, and another person hurried in to pass the news. Soon, several brothers ran out.

"Sixth sister, what are you holding?" Su Qi asked with a smile as he looked at his sister.

Su Xinyi greeted several brothers, and then said: "His Majesty gave me the Hongque Sword, saying that it was the reward for this mission."

Hongque Sword?

The brothers of the Su family looked at each other, and their faces were a little surprised.

When Su Xinyi saw it, she walked in with her brothers and said, "Second brother, do you know this sword?"

Su Bei looked at her sixth sister, "Before Fourth Uncle went to war, His Majesty said that he would give this sword to Fourth Uncle when he returned victorious. I didn't see it and it didn't fall into Fourth Uncle's hands, but now it has fallen into your hands."

Su Xinyi didn't know about this matter. She looked down at the sword box in her hand and felt that the weight suddenly became much heavier.

In her previous life, she didn't know what Hongque Sword was and had never heard of it, but now this sword is in her hands.

So, in fact, what she thought was right, because she lived a cowardly life in her previous life. Not only could she not bring fame to her father, but she also embarrassed him. So in fact, many things are destined.

There is a cause before there is an effect, and you have to have the ability to pick that fruit.

As soon as Su Xinyi came back, the house became lively. The fourth lady came to the second gate to welcome her. When she saw her daughter, she looked up and down. Seeing that she looked very good, she was really relieved.

Su Xinyi asked her mother how she was and told her to go see the Taifu. The others were waiting here and couldn't help but show some concern for Su Xinyi.

Su Xixian sat next to the third wife calmly and smiled at Su Xinyi, but didn't talk to her at this moment.

Su Xinyi greeted everyone and talked about the folk customs and scenery of Ding'an. Everyone felt relieved knowing that the journey was smooth. When she saw the Hongque Sword again, the fourth wife's eyes were red.

The Taifu looked at Xinyi and said, "Since His Majesty has given you this sword, you should keep it well."

This sword is indeed destined to be with their family.

A welcoming banquet was held in the evening. After Su Xinyi talked to everyone, the Taifu asked her to go back and rest first and have a family dinner in the evening.

Su Xinyi was indeed busy on the road and needed to take a good bath and change clothes.

She went back to her own courtyard first. Several maids, including Nanny She, were very happy to see her. They prepared the bath water in time. Su Xinyi took a comfortable bath first, changed into a simple short shirt and long skirt, and then went into the bedroom, letting the maid wipe her hair.

On the other side of the table, there was the sword that His Majesty gave her.

Su Xinyi looked at the box containing the sword, and said for a long time: "Put the box carefully. No one can take it out without my permission."

She didn't want to open it and look at it. She had no chance to have this sword in her previous life. She was not in a good mood when she looked at it now, so she let it stay in the sword box.

She couldn't really wear the sword awarded by His Majesty all day long.

This sword was related to her father in some way. Seeing it would inevitably make her sad. Su Xinyi didn't really want to carry this sword with her at all times.

Such a treasure should be put aside.

When Su Xinyi had almost finished packing, Su Xixian came over and asked her to go to the family dinner together.

Su Xinyi was quite happy to see her fifth sister, "Why do I think she looks thinner?"

She remembered that before leaving Beijing, Aunt Weng was still thinking about letting her fifth brother marry a girl from the Weng family. She didn't know if this matter had been resolved.

"Today is a welcome party for you. We have to accept your gifts. I won't let you hear anything unhappy today." Su Xixian said with a smile, "I'll tell you another day."

Su Xinyi smiled, "Then I thank my fifth sister for her understanding."

"I still have to pay my respects to my grandfather. Will you come with me?" Su Xinyi asked the maid holding the wine she prepared for her grandfather.

"I'll wait for you outside." Su Xixian said. She felt very restrained and uncomfortable in front of her grandfather, especially because her aunt always made trouble, and she felt ashamed.

Su Xinyi did not force it, and she and Su Xixian took a detour to go to her grandfather's place first. Su Xixian was indeed waiting outside, so Su Xinyi went in by herself, chatted with her grandfather for a few words, offered him some wine, and told him about the Hongque Sword.

After hearing the words for a long time, the old man sighed and said, "Xin Yi, just keep this sword well. You will be the crown princess in the future. When you go in and out of the palace, it will be a good thing for you to have this sword with you."

Su Xinyi was stunned. She didn't think so much, but her grandfather's words shocked her.

"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Su Xinyi asked tentatively, she didn't dare to say.

The old man waved his hand, "If nothing happens, it is a good sword. If something happens to you one day, this sword may be able to protect you once. However, this is just my guess. You still have to be cautious and don't Do whatever you want."

Su Xinyi hurriedly responded, "My granddaughter has remembered it, so grandpa can rest assured."

"You go ahead." The old man waved his hand. Nowadays, he doesn't like to go out of the yard unless there is something important. The junior's reception banquet is enough to see Xin Yi return home safely.

Su Xinyi and Su Xixian met, and then they went to the madam's place together. They met the sister-in-law before they entered the door.

Mrs. Zeng hurriedly came over, looked at the sixth sister and said, "I wanted to come over to see you before. Unfortunately, Brother Yan couldn't stop crying, so he couldn't come over after trying to coax him."

Su Xinyi hurriedly asked: "Sister-in-law, our family has so many things to do. Is Brother Yan okay? I miss him so much. Why haven't I seen my eldest brother?"

It stands to reason that since she is back, as long as there is nothing serious, the eldest brother will definitely come home, but there is no sign of her now.
