Her shout drew the attention of many people, and noble ladies and young gentlemen gathered around.

The next day.

The letter of divorce from Emperor Qi was brought over by the eunuch early in the morning, and Qiao Zhen became the only princess of Qi Kingdom, Princess Zhuyu.

Upon receiving the imperial decree, Qiao Zhen found it somewhat unbelievable. Even if Emperor Qi liked Zhen Zhuxian very much, there was no need for him to treat her so well. Besides, wasn't it too hasty for the ruler of a nation to bestow a title upon a princess?!

If she had used "jewelry" instead of "pearl" in the original poem, would she be a jewel princess now? Ugh, just thinking about it makes me feel tacky.

Qiao Zhen didn't have many belongings at the Prime Minister's residence, and she was taken to the Princess's residence before lunch that day. One has to admire Emperor Qi's efficiency.

When she left the Prime Minister's residence, Lu Yuanchuan only took a sneaky look before turning around and leaving.

After everything was settled, Qiao Zhen was led into the palace by the maid bestowed upon her by Emperor Qi to express her gratitude for the emperor's great favor.

"You are a blessed person."

Listening to Emperor Qi's feigned sentiments, Qiao Zhen could only lower her head and feign flattery, saying, "Thanks to your blessing yesterday."

Both men were shrewd enough to understand these coded messages, so Emperor Qi lifted the gauze window and asked, "How did you guess that it was I who sent people to do it?"

Hearing Emperor Qi's direct question, Qiao Zhen decided not to beat around the bush any longer. "I don't believe in any divine blessings. Besides, yesterday, the water around where I was standing was clearly surging, but I didn't think about it in detail yesterday. Today, you have taken the opportunity to bestow upon me the title of Princess Pearl and Jade, so my suspicions have been confirmed."

Emperor Qi then asked, "Do you know why I bestowed upon you the title of princess? A correct answer will be rewarded."
