Chapter 1336 - 1343: Choosing a Consort for the Crown Prince of Qing Luo Kingdom (5)
It must be said that Miss Hong’s voice was exquisite. After the song was over, the melodious singing, with its rises and falls, echoed endlessly in the ethereal deep mountains, like the lingering sound around beams, causing everyone to savor it over and over, unable to extricate themselves!
Empress Dowager Mo greatly admired her and immediately took off a jade bracelet from her wrist to reward her. Hong Xiuju was flabbergasted by the Empress Dowager’s favor as she accepted it, her cheeks flushing as she stealthily glanced at Nangong Yi, her admiration as a young maiden evident for all to see.
After Empress Dowager Mo had given her reward, she said to Nangong Yi, "I wonder what The Emperor plans to reward Miss Hong with?"
Nangong Yi said, "Just reward her with a hundred taels of gold, after all, she is the first one, and indeed she sang very well!"
Hong Xiuju, upon hearing The Emperor’s praise, quickly stepped forward and knelt down in extreme joy, saying, "This subject is deeply grateful for The Emperor’s reward, long live the emperor for thousands of years!"
Empress Dowager Mo was very pleased to hear Nangong Yi praising Hong Xiuju; her son had never praised any woman since he was born! Now, not only did he praise her, but he also rewarded her and even looked at her with appreciation. This made Empress Dowager Mo genuinely happy.
She smiled warmly at Cai Wei and said in a cheerful tone, "I wonder what the Empress plans to reward Miss Hong with?"
Cai Wei smiled and replied, "Since we are rewarding, let’s give something substantial. Miss Hong, why don’t you tell us what you desire? As long as I can grant it, it shall be yours."
