"Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess" King Zheng said with a smile on his face, and rewarded each person with ten taels of silver. Everyone was very happy after hearing this. Of course it would be great if they had money.
"Wan'er, uncle has received the news. Your grandfather will grant you a fiefdom. Your fiefdom covers about two counties. It is estimated that it should be next to your uncle's fiefdom." King Zheng looked at Wen Wan's unmoved look. He didn't know why. Happy or depressed.
There were dozens of princesses, princesses, and county lords in Da Qi Dynasty. However, there are no more than five titles and fiefdoms in total. I don't know what my father was thinking, why he gave Wen Wan a noble title and a fiefdom.
Wenwan looked at King Zheng as if he was very concerned, and asked strangely, is a fiefdom important? What's the use of that? If uncle likes it, just take it. I won't use it.
"That fief was given to you by your grandfather and cannot be given away. If your grandfather has given two counties to you, it means that these two counties are yours. As long as you live, you can get 30% of the income from it. Leave the rest to the court. Think about whether the fief is important," he explained with a smile.
"It's gentle. Is this understandable?" These two counties are their own private property. As long as they pay 70% of the tax, they can make their own decisions on the rest. This is so awesome! Grandpa, why are you so generous? He is so kind to me.
"Now that you know it, are you still willing to give it to your uncle?" King Zheng laughed unconsciously when he saw Wen Wan.
Wen Wan nodded without hesitation, saying that as long as she has it and her uncle likes it, she can take it. Unfortunately, I have nothing to give to my uncle.
"Wan'er. If you have such a heart, my uncle is already very happy." Just as he was talking, someone came from outside and said that Duke Ping and the prince's grandfather had come to take the young lady back.
Wenwan looked at Prince Zheng and drew for a long time. King Zheng was very surprised when he saw it. The maid Xia He next to him was also half-understanding, "What the princess means is that it is not a good idea to give her a fiefdom."
"Why is that? Don't you like it?" King Zheng Zhong asked strangely.
Wen Wan shook her head, and the people next to her were explaining, "The princess said that she was granted a fiefdom without merit, which would make the court lose a piece of income. Her fiefdom may be very small. But if there are too many people, the court will lose a lot. income. If this continues, it will be very harmful to the court."
"How did you know?" King Zheng asked in amusement. How could this kid know about political affairs and be so keen?
¡°Take a look at the whole picture.¡± Five gentle and simple words. King Zheng was stunned for a long time. This child, this child is amazing. King Zheng immediately asked her to stop the topic and not to talk about it again in the future. Otherwise, there will be public outrage. You are gentle and not stupid, so you won¡¯t tell others.
"You are now a princess, and a noble princess. Your grandfather gave you a golden whip. No one dares to bully you. My uncle has returned to his fiefdom and is no longer worried." King Zheng said happily.
"I actually wanted to tell grandpa at that time. It was with my uncle. But grandpa interrupted me immediately. Uncle, I can't let you go." He hugged King Zheng and refused to let go. Feeling her sincerity, King Zheng touched her head.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Pingguo and the Crown Prince are outside asking for an audience. They said they would take the young lady back." Butler Lin came to inform in person.
Wenwan held Prince Zheng¡¯s hand, unwilling to go back.
"My uncle doesn't want you to go back, but you should go back. I gave you the golden whip to protect you from being bullied. But it also means that you must go back to the Heng family. Clean up and stay for a while. Just go back with them. Don't worry, Wen Wan. You are the princess now, and they are the ministers. If they dare to bully you again, use the golden whip to whip them. Also, when you get married, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will build you a princess palace." Prince Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. But it was a little uncomfortable.
Wen Wan felt very depressed, why should she go back to that ghost place? But looking at his uncle like this, he could only succumb to reality impatiently. She really doesn¡¯t want to go back! Wen Wan reluctantly went back with a lot of rewards. When I came out, I was ashamed, and when I went back, I was high-spirited.
"After all, she is the emperor's granddaughter, so how can she not care about it? Look, it's better now. She has given our Ping family a heavy slap. Now I want to see what the mood of the person who has been so troubled these days will be like." Madam was worried but also a little gloating.
¡°She actually has grudges against the old lady. It is said that a daughter-in-law of ten years becomes a mother-in-law. She has been a daughter-in-law for twenty years and still has to be controlled by the old lady. She is said to be the housekeeper, but the real housekeeping power still lies with the old lady. There is also her shabby natal family who gives her extra money from time to time.
"My wife is still wise and established a good relationship with the princess early. Now, those people are probably filled with regrets."?. If the princess knew about it, she would probably have to walk away without finishing the meal. "The grandmother beside me said thoughtful words.
"Look, there was a lot of commotion in the house! It's thanks to the old lady and the old lady that they were able to do it. She was the emperor's direct granddaughter. She looked at the emperor's nobles and forgot about them. Send them away far away. , Poor thing, he still managed to escape death,¡± the eldest lady said sympathetically.
"Madam, I heard that the princess had a dream. The Bodhisattva told her that she had accumulated virtues in her previous life and had suffered all the hardships. In the future, she would be rewarded with all the hardships and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. Before, the old slave was half-believed, thinking that the princess was mad. "Now it seems that it is true that a Bodhisattva has appeared." The grandma suddenly remembered this paragraph and immediately became respectful.
"Why didn't you tell me such a big thing? That Bodhisattva can lie casually in his dreams. I said this child is not anxious at all. Emotionally, she always knew that someone was harming her," the eldest lady said angrily. If you had known this news earlier, you would have made friends no matter what, and you should have helped with the previous matters. Now, even if I want to help, I will ignore it.
"What are you talking about? The mute in the fifth room was canonized as the princess by the emperor? Impossible, isn't it said that those with hidden diseases will not be admitted to the royal jade butterfly?" The third lady stood up. After getting the news, it will be uncertain. It seemed that his illness was just faking it. Moreover, once she finds out what happened, she will not be able to afford it.
"Pah, pah, pah" Porcelain was broken on the ground. Some woman is going crazy. If you catch something, smash it. That beautiful face was distorted.
"Mom, why is God so unfair? Why?" Tired from beating her, she fell into the arms of a woman, crying very sadly.
"Girl, this is life, this is life!" the mother-in-law persuaded in a bitter voice.
"I don't believe in fate, and I don't accept it either. If I believed in fate, I wouldn't have survived until now, and I would have been a cup of loess. No. No, that stinky girl must die." The woman yelled viciously.
"Girl, what are you doing? You can't do it! She is now the princess conferred by the royal family. If we touch her, not only will we be destroyed. Even our brothers and sisters will be cut in half; girl, you can't do anything stupid. , Don¡¯t think about yourself, but also think about your brothers and sisters!¡± The mother-in-law was startled, she was stunned.
"You know, I should have eliminated this scourge earlier. No, I will not admit defeat. I will never admit defeat, there is always a way." Suddenly, I got excited again.
Princess Mansion
"Do you think my father is old and confused? He actually granted a mute the title of a fourth-grade princess, and also gave him the title of 'noble'. What qualifications does such a mute have to get the title of 'noble'? Poor me." Ying'er, I don't even have a title. I begged my father many times, but my father just refused to let go. I didn't expect that a little girl would let him go. "It's really annoying." He screamed in envy and annoyance.
"The emperor must have pity on her. Princess, don't worry about it. Wen Wan is a person whose mother is dying without a father to love her, and her stepmother has ulterior motives. If it hadn't been for Prince Zheng, she wouldn't have had such a good life. So, princess, don't care. Let her go." The grandmother beside her comforted her.
"Don't worry, I don't want to get into trouble right now. Everyone knows that girl is a slut. I don't want to be overpowered yet, so I'd better stay away from her." Princess Fuling shook her head.
Mrs. Anle Houye was still uneasy in her heart: "Master Hou, this child is indeed remarkable. Since she has a couplet, let the emperor make her your princess. We must not offend such a person. If she thinks about it someday. Get up, if you want to take revenge, then we have to be unlucky."
"This matter requires a charter." Anlehou nodded. The couple discussed it for a while, but still couldn't come up with a proper solution.
Wen Wan was taken back to Ping Mansion by the Duke and the Crown Prince. She first went to the main hall to burn incense, and then went to the upper room to pay homage to her grandmother. There were many people gathered in my grandmother's room, including several cousins. Only a few servants bowed to Wen Wan, while the others sat there like Bodhisattvas. The two nuns who were rewarded by the emperor looked at it and frowned.
Seeing her grandmother¡¯s uncertain look, Wen Wan didn¡¯t bother to pretend anymore. My uncle said that no one in the world can bully me anymore. So when facing Ping Mu, his expression was dull.
After a blessing, he stood aside, with Ping's mother scolding him from above. As a royal princess, you must set an example and not disgrace the royal family. There were a lot of thunderbolts, and the words were spitting.
Wen Wan is like a wood sculpture, standing there honestly and respectfully, thinking about her own things. Is there something wrong with this old woman's brain? She is now the princess, a noble princess of the fourth rank who was granted the title of the emperor's grandfather. Having a title is noble, and it is more noble than an ordinary princess. She even openly scolded her as if she were a maid and servant
I couldn¡¯t help but feel a little proud in my heart. Fortunately, I was smart and was loved by the emperor¡¯s grandfather. Otherwise, he would have to be tortured to death by these people.
Mother Gu was so angry that she couldn't speak. Xia He and the others were also very angry standing there, but they had undergone strict training and still knew the rules. Mrs. Gu, a mature woman, looked at the two nuns given to her by the emperor for education.
"Madame, the princess is still young and has never learned etiquette before. She behaved very well today on the emperor's birthday. Moreover, it doesn't matter even if there are some shortcomings in etiquette. Aunt Chen and I will work together well in the future. Teach the princess. The princess has been tired for a long time. If the princess has anything else to give, she will teach her another day. Now, please let the princess go down and rest." A sudden voice sounded.
Wenwan opened her eyes and found that the person was one of the two nuns gifted by her grandfather. Ever since I came here, I haven't said a word. Wen Wan was surprised. Mother Gu refused to let her go against her grandmother's words, saying that she had to be patient and not have a reputation of being domineering, which would be bad for her. Will not please the emperor's grandfather. This man is so awesome!
"Who are you?" Ping's mother was talking about her outfit when she was suddenly interrupted and was very unhappy.
"My surname is Gu and her surname is Chen; the emperor sent us to teach the princess etiquette and take care of the princess." Seeing Ping's mother teach Wen Wan such a lesson, Aunt Gu frowned so much that she could kill several flies. After all, that was also the noble princess whom the emperor had just conferred. Look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. So domineering.
"No wonder the emperor sent himself and others to teach the princess. Looking at the Duke Ping's mansion, every one of them had no etiquette and was in a smoky atmosphere. The house of etiquette has produced two queens and three noble concubines. I don¡¯t know how such a place can raise such noble people.
"My grandma is talking, why are you, a slave, interrupting?" Qinghao shouted loudly.
"I am in the Master of Ceremony's Mansion, specializing in education, with an official rank of seventh rank. You are a girl, why do you get in the way when the elders are talking?" Grandma Gu was very angry. Really, she didn't understand the virtues of women at all, what kind of etiquette is this? Home.
"Madam, the princess is tired. We need to guide her to rest. It will be up to the two of us to teach the princess in the future. If there is anything inappropriate, please give me some pointers." Aunt Chen said coldly. Talking. As soon as these words came out, Ping Mu choked to death.
"What do you mean, you two old ladies, you came to our Duke's Mansion and moved here like this. It's really disgusting." Qing Hao said angrily.
"Mrs. Duke, you should spend more time teaching this girl. Teach her what is a woman's appearance and work ethics, what is chastity, quietness, and virtuousness. She is so rough, and she doesn't know which family she will marry into. This is not a harm to others. "Mama Gu didn't give any face at all, she directly accused him.
"Shut up." Ping's mother immediately stopped her desire to speak and asked Wen Wan to go back.
Wen Wan and his party returned to the Lotus Courtyard in a grand manner. As soon as the group arrived, Mother Gu immediately asked them to pack their things.
"Grandma" She did it for the old lady, but she was scolded. Qinghao felt aggrieved.
"You know what, just interrupt. This is a well-educated nun from the Master of Ceremony's Mansion. No one else with money can hire one. If they go out and say one or two bad words about you, all the girls in Ping Mansion will not be able to hire them." I want to marry into a good family." The corners of Ping's mother's eyes bulged.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the emperor would really care about this mute granddaughter. It seems that in the future, we have to go along with it, not against it. Otherwise, you will definitely suffer a loss. Thinking of this, Ping's mother felt particularly aggrieved.
"Ah" Qinghao quickly shut up after hearing this. She pleases her grandmother so much just so she can find a good match. If this woman says a few random words, my whole life will be over. (To be continued)
