Chapter 499 Excitement

Let’s talk about Chen Wan, how did she enter the palace and how did she leave the palace.

The two children were very well-behaved. They didn't cry at all during the two hours in the palace, and they didn't make a fuss while riding in the carriage. They stayed quietly in their nanny's arms and were very curious about the small carriage.

Chen Wan was thinking about the Yun family. The news that Yun Miao was named the county lady should have reached the Yun family by now. Her grandparents would definitely be happy to know about it.

Well, it was more than just happiness, I was stunned by the pie that fell from the sky.

When the servant reported the good news to Old Master Yun and Old Madam Yun, Old Madam Yun was worried about Yun Miao. Yun Miao was not like Yun Yan, who had done business all over the country and was knowledgeable. This was Yun Miao's first time to attend a banquet in the palace, and Old Madam Yun was afraid that she did not understand the palace rules and would embarrass Chen Wan.

In order for Yun Miao to enter the palace for the banquet, the Yun family also found a nanny to teach Yun Miao the rules. Normally, it shouldn't be a problem, but worry is always inevitable.

Thinking that the palace banquet was almost over, a voice came from outside, "The old lady is very happy!"

Before I saw the person, the voice came first.

Madam Yun was serving tea when the maid came in and Madam Yun asked, "What's the big news?"

The maidservant gasped repeatedly, "The Emperor has made the eldest girl a county lady!"

Mrs. Yun was stunned.

Madam Yun's hands were shaking as she served the tea.

Old Master Yun simply didn't believe it and was a little angry. "Who is playing such a joke on our Yun family?"

The maid said, "I'm not kidding, someone from the palace came to announce the good news..."

It's impossible that someone would pretend to be a eunuch and come to the Yun family to cheat them out of the money for announcing the good news. Besides, the eunuch hasn't left yet and is still in the mansion.

Old Master Yun couldn't believe it, "How is this possible?"

Today is the day when the palace holds a princess banquet for Shen Wan and the full moon banquet for the two children, but why would the emperor confer the title of county lady on their Yun family's daughter?

This is impossible no matter how you look at it...

Madam Yun asked, "Could it be that Wan'er requested the position of county lord on Miao'er's behalf?"

Old Master Yun said, "The title of County Princess is not one of gold, silver, jewels, silks and satins. Even the Emperor cannot confer it casually, and Wan'er is certainly not ignorant."

Madam Yun couldn't contain her joy, but she was also afraid that it was all for nothing. "We'll know when Yan'er and Miao'er return home."

Old Master Yun, Old Madam Yun and the others waited patiently for more than half an hour before a maid came in to report that the eldest young master and the eldest young lady had returned home.

After waiting for another half a cup of tea, Yun Yan and Yun Miao finally came in. Yun Miao, in particular, was supported by two maids.

When Madam Yun saw this, she asked, "What's going on?"

Yun Miao said, "I sprained my ankle in the palace..."

"Why are you so careless?"

Madam Yun felt distressed. She had finally been able to enter the palace and broaden her horizons thanks to Wan'er, but her status had already been looked down upon, and now that she had sprained her ankle, even fewer people would look at her daughter.

Yun Yan said, "I've seen the imperial physician and nothing serious has happened. This time, my sister has turned a disaster into a blessing."

Yun Qing quickly asked, "Did the Emperor really appoint my elder sister as the County Lord?"

Yun Yan nodded.

Old Madam Yun's heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of her throat.

Older people cannot withstand great sorrow or great joy.

Madam Yun asked, "What's going on?"

Yun Miao sat down and told the whole story of how she sprained her ankle.

Yun Yan said, "I asked the Prince of Jingbei, and he said that my sister was bullied, and my cousin was angry and wanted to send my sister back to the Yun family. In order to appease my cousin, the emperor awarded my sister a title for her contributions in relieving the floods in Jizhou and the snowstorms in Yongzhou..."

The Yun family did contribute to the Jizhou flood and the Yongzhou flood, but they did not do this for meritorious service, but only because of Shen Wan's instructions. Not only did the Yun family not suffer any losses, but they also accumulated a good reputation in the two places. The emperor also rewarded the Yun family with many things. Yun Yan knew very well that the emperor named Yun Miao the county lord this time just for Shen Wan's sake, and those were just to shut up the civil and military officials and Queen Song.

Old Madam Yun was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Madam Yun was even more excited. "How can we thank Wan'er for this?"

Old Master Yun said, "Go to the warehouse and see if there's anything Wan'er and Prince Jingbei like, and send some over."

Mrs. Yun was so happy that she didn't even care about her daughter who had sprained her ankle, and went to do the job immediately.

Madam Yun knew that Chen Wan had no shortage of these things. She had no shortage of them before, and now she was the Crown Princess of Jingbei and the Emperor's favorite princess, so she had no shortage of them at all. But these were the only things the Yun family could give her. Fortunately, no one in this world would complain about having too much money.

If you complain, it’s definitely not enough.

Yun Qing looked envious, but she was just envious, not jealous.

Although the Yun family is as rich as a rival country, it is insignificant in the capital city where powerful people are everywhere. Yun Miao was named the county lady, and the status of the Yun family was raised several levels. In the future, she will be able to follow Yun Miao to attend banquets in various mansions.

The one who came to the Yun family to announce the good news was eunuch Xiao Xizi. Announcing good news is a good job, especially for the Yun family, who are very generous.

Not only did he stuff a hundred taels of silver into his pocket, he also gave him a handful of golden melon seeds and peanuts.

The reward money he received for coming to the Yun family to report the good news was more than what he had saved in all these years since he entered the palace. Eunuch Xiao Xizi hoped that such good things would happen more often.

Besides, Shen Wanhui returned to Zhaolanxuan and had just drunk half a cup of tea when news came that the emperor had punished Princess Shouzhen and Queen Song.

The emperor punished Princess Shouzhen by making her copy the palace rules, and Queen Song did the same.

This punishment is really too light.

But the emperor used Princess Shouzhen's mistake to pressure Queen Song to give the Yun family the position of County Master. This made Queen Song more uncomfortable than beating Princess Shouzhen with a stick, so Shen Wan didn't say anything.

Queen Song thought that the emperor had rewarded the Yun family and the matter was over, but he ended up punishing Princess Shouzhen and even punished her, the queen.

Queen Song did not dare to complain. After all, it was a fact witnessed by all that her daughter bullied the eldest daughter of the Yun family. But when she returned to Fengyi Palace, she was so angry that she smashed all the teacups and pastries.

Queen Song was so angry that she felt dizzy and could hardly stand, so she held on to the table to steady herself.

The most urgent task at the moment is to resolve King Cheng’s lifelong affairs.

Once they sit in that position, the life and death of these people will depend on their thoughts!

Chen Wan held the tea and sipped it slowly. Shanhu said, "My cousin has been conferred the title of County Lady. Should we send her a congratulatory gift?"

This is definitely necessary.

Shen Wan immediately ordered, “Go pick some and send them to the Yun family tomorrow.”

Shanhu exclaimed, "Ah!" "Won't the Crown Princess go and see him off in person?"

Shen Wan said, “I’m going to Lin’s house tomorrow.”

In order to see her and the two children, Madam Lin, who was old and in poor health, came to the Jingbei Palace. Now that she was out of confinement and knew her own life experience, she must bring the children to the Lin Mansion to pay her respects to Old Tutor Lin and Madam Lin.

Shen Wan said, "Tell grandpa and grandma that I will go to the Yun family to pay my respects to them the day after tomorrow."

Shanhu felt that her Crown Prince's Consort was now a princess, and besides, when she went to pay her respects to the Yun family, she would not scare Old Master Yun and Old Madam Yun.

However, Shanhu also knew that the Crown Princess was sickly when she was a child. If the Yun family had not searched for famous doctors and famous medicines, the Crown Princess would probably not have grown up. It was right for her to respect the Yun family.
