Emperor Qingyuan laughed loudly
"I can only get this thing because of Mr. Jingdexiang!"
Hearing this, Ge Hongzhang and Yu Shangshu said to Xie Yushu
"I admire the loyalty of the country gentleman!"
"Haha! Good! What a loyal person!
Eunuch Liu, drafted the edict.
Xie Yushu, Lord of Jingde Township, has presented to the imperial court structural drawings of houses, glass making methods, and drawings of crossbows. She is loyal to the Lord and benefits the people. I am very pleased. I promote Xie Yushu to the rank of Princess Jingde, grant the Princess a mansion, and reward her with thousands of acres of fertile land. .
"I thank you Lord for your kindness!"
"Congratulations to the princess!"
Xie Yushu was really shocked. Although Emperor Qingyuan loved money, he was not stingy. This reward was exactly what she wanted. What she lacked was her identity!
She thanked the emperor obediently, and Xie Yushu wisely withdrew!
It's not her place that the Emperor wants to tell the Ministry of Works what to do.
After meeting Nan Xing, the two planned to leave the palace directly.
However, he was only halfway through when he was stopped by a palace maid.
"Doctor Xie, our wife is not feeling well, please come and see a doctor!"
Judging from the clothes of this palace maid, she must be the palace lady in charge of some concubine, but the name she is called is a bit interesting!
Even if the emperor's imperial edict to confer the title of princess has not spread yet, she should be called Xiangjun, directly Doctor Xie. The condescending intention of suppressing her should not be too obvious!
Xie Yushu smiled playfully
"If I were you, I wouldn't make a fuss about the title. Not only does it have no impact on me, it's also too embarrassing!
However, for the sake of the royal family, I will still go and see it! Lead the way! "
Xie Yushu didn't even ask who her master was, and directly exposed her little trick. The palace maid immediately changed her expression. She no longer had that condescending attitude, and honestly led the way.
As Xie Yushu expected, it turned out to be Concubine Chu.
After meeting Xie Yushu in the Queen Mother's Palace, Concubine Chu had already planned to give Xie Yushu a show of strength. Don't think that it would be great for her to be granted the title of Country Lord. Compared with a real nobleman, she is still far behind. She shouldn't It's best to look at the people you provoke and stay away!
As soon as Xie Yushu entered the door, she saw Concubine Chu leaning on the throne. A girl was kneeling next to her and beating her legs, and another was squeezing her shoulders. There were also several tea and water pourers standing next to her, showing her full momentum.
Xie Yushu looked at it leisurely and found a chair to sit down on her own.
Concubine Chu naturally knew that Xie Yushu was coming. She half-closed her eyes and waited for Xie Yushu to greet her. Unexpectedly, Xie Yushu sat down directly.
Concubine Chu glanced at her, and a palace maid stood up next to her and scolded her.
"How presumptuous! You are still not polite when you meet the imperial concubine!"
Nan Xing said politely
"How dare you! You, a little palace maid, dare to be rude to my princess!
If it weren't for the sake of the noble concubine, I would definitely report it to the queen. I don't know what crime you should be guilty of according to the palace rules if you commit the following crime! "
Nan Xing was familiar with the rules in the palace under Aunt Su's teachings. It turned out that her master was the country king, and his status was not that good. She was naturally careful about her words and deeds, so as not to be caught in the wrong, and self-preservation was the top priority.
But the emperor promoted her master to the rank of princess, and he was still a first-class princess, so of course she had to be strong-willed!
When Concubine Chu saw that a girl dared to yell and scream in her palace, her expression immediately changed and she slapped the table.
"How presumptuous! A little girl dares to act up here in this palace. Come on, slap me!"
"Let's see who dares!"
Xie Yushu stood up without any courtesy.
"I am the princess of the first rank personally appointed by the emperor, who dares to be so presumptuous!"
Concubine Chu couldn't believe it and asked
"Miss Xie, didn't you go into the palace and be dazzled by the glory and wealth in the palace?
A mere village prince dared to pretend to be a first-grade princess! Are you tired of living? "
"Ha! Your Majesty, do you think this princess is stupid? Pretending to be the princess in the palace!
It is a coincidence that I have been granted the title of princess of the first rank. I happen to be one level higher than you. I don’t need to salute you. The golden words have been made. If the noble concubine does not believe it, someone will pass on the decree later. You can go and have a look. Although I Not exactly rich, but I can still afford a cup of tea!
oh! By the way, you'd better tell your little cute sister not to mess with me, I don't have much patience with her! "
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Concubine Chu was so angry that she couldn't even maintain her manners and shouted like a shrew.
Xie Yushu said calmly
"Seeing that Concubine Chu is in high spirits, I guess she won't need to see a doctor anymore, so I'll take my leave!"
Then he turned around and took Nan Xing away leisurely.
Concubine Chu was so angry that she threw two more tea cups.
"Check! Check for me, what exactly did Xie Yushu do to have the ability to let the emperor make her a first-class princess!"
She is a noble concubine, but she is only a second-grade princess. The imperial concubine is a subordinate first-grade concubine, and the queen and eldest princess are the first-grade princess. Why did she, Xie Yushu, become a first-grade princess!
A room full of palace maids were specially called to put on a show to see Xie Yushu make a fool of herself, but before she could even beat her, she was crushed by Xie Yushu.
It was Concubine Chu who made a fool of herself, and the palace ladies were so frightened that they didn't dare to express their anger. When they heard that Concubine Chu asked someone to check on Xie Yushu, they immediately rushed out, fearing that they might accidentally become Concubine Chu's punching bag.
Xie Yushu was not affected at all and went straight out of the palace.
The eunuch who delivered the order was also very fast on his feet. Xie Yushu had just arrived home before the imperial edict arrived. Xie Yushu directly brought the whole family out to receive the order.
The person who came to convey the order was Eunuch Liu. He knew that Xie Yushu was a popular person in front of the emperor, and he was willing to sell her well. When he saw people watching outside, he deliberately read aloud:
"Following the destiny of heaven, the emperor summoned me and said
Xie Yushu, the Lord of Jingde Township, is a loyal person. She presented glass-making methods and the latest weapon blueprints to the court, which has benefited the country and the people. It is a great achievement. I am very pleased. I specially promote Xie Yushu, the Lord of Jingde Township, to the rank of Princess Jingde. , grant the princess a mansion and a thousand acres of fertile land.
"I admire this"
"I thank Yushu for accepting the order, and thank the Lord for your kindness!"
After Xie Yushu received the imperial edict, Aunt Su stuffed her purse directly into Eunuch Liu and said:
"Eunuch Liu, how are you doing these days! I haven't seen you for more than two years, but you are still as charming as ever!"
When Eunuch Liu saw it was Aunt Su, he smiled knowingly.
"No wonder Princess Jingde's etiquette and rules were not bad at all when she entered the palace for the first time. It turns out you are by her side!"
"It's just that the princess thinks highly of it, so I should be loyal to you with all my strength!"
"Well! It's your good fortune to be able to be with the princess!"
After greeting each other, Eunuch Liu explained again
"The princess's mansion that the emperor rewarded was the fifth princess's mansion of the late emperor. After the fifth princess went to Nanzhao to get married, the mansion was returned to the royal family and has never been empty. The palace has now sent people to repair it, and the princess still needs to wait. Some time."
Xie Yushu smiled
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I just moved here and I want to rest for a while. Eunuch Liu has taken the trouble!"
Although Eunuch Liu and Aunt Su were old acquaintances, they had different identities now, but they did not dare to say anything more. After announcing the decree, Eunuch Liu returned.
Everyone following Xie Yushu stood up to congratulate Xie Yushu, especially the newcomers. It was an unexpected surprise, and it felt like their identity was revealed in no time!
After Eunuch Liu deliberately publicized it, the news that Xie Yushu had risen from being a village king to a princess was like a big deal, and it spread throughout the capital within two days!
People came to express their congratulations, give gifts, and establish relationships.
