Chapter 599: Twenty princesses were conferred titles in one go!

"If that is the case, your majesty's wisdom and vision are simply extraordinary!"

Let’s not talk about Wei Dongzhu for now. His Majesty specifically asked the Ministry of Rites to take up the task, but the Minister of Rites broke his leg two days ago and is recuperating at home. The people under him are not enough to support this negotiation.

The old master immediately recommended Mr. Ruohua.

"I recommend Mr. Ruohua, the Minister of Industry, to serve as the negotiator for this negotiation."

The old master's party immediately stood up and agreed.

"I also recommend Mr. Ruohua."

"Mr. Ruohua is a waste of his talent in the Ministry of Works. I recommend Mr. Ruohua to work in the Ministry of Rites."

"I reconsider!"

"I will also review this!"

After more than a dozen court officials reviewed the matter, Shen Lanxi spoke up, "My dear ministers, do you have any objections?"

Wu Yanzhi frowned and said nothing.

Liu Mingxin also remained silent.

"Since no one has any objection, Mr. Ruohua will serve as the Minister of Personnel from now on, in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites. If you do a good job, I will reward you handsomely!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

…

Shen Yuantang didn't want to be hastily married off to another place, so she stayed in her room obediently in recent days. One day, the gatekeeper suddenly left for something, and she immediately jumped out of the window.

"Second aunt, eldest sister-in-law, I saved Xiao Chengfeng's life, you must save me..."

That night, Shen Lanxi received a letter from the Shen family.

Shen Yuantang is willing to go to the Turks to marry as a princess!

She put the letter aside without replying. The next day, news spread in the streets that Shen Yuantang was going to marry a Turkic woman.

"Your Majesty, the news was spread by the eldest branch of the Shen family."

Shen Lanxi smiled indifferently.

"Don't worry about it, just wait for Shen Jiaer's reaction!"

Before noon, another letter arrived, this time from her mother.

There are four words written on it: Seek benevolence and you will get benevolence!

Is this a test of her attitude?

At court

"By the will of Heaven... Shen Yuantang is conferred the title of Princess Zhaohua!"

"…The daughter of the magistrate of Weiyuan County was conferred the title Princess Qionghua."

"… confer the title Princess Minghua on the daughter of the Sanyang County Magistrate!"

"…I confer the title of Princess Manhua on the daughter of the Suiyuan Tongpan!"

“…The Imperial Conferment…”

In addition to Shen Yuantang, Shen Lanxi conferred titles on nineteen princesses of different surnames at once, and with Shen Yuantang, there were a total of twenty.

"All of the above princesses will be included in the imperial family's imperial list. After their death, they will be named in the imperial temple. If they die in the Great Zhou, they can be buried in the imperial mausoleum. I decree this!"

The nineteen princesses of different surnames were all adopted daughters by Zhou Xinrou.

Shen Lanxi's move shocked all the officials and left them speechless, so that the morning court ended early.

"Your Majesty has conferred titles on so many princesses at once. What does that mean?"

"Shen Yuantang is the only princess with the same surname. Why is only Shen Yuantang the only girl in the Shen family to be given the title? What about the other girls?"

"Your Majesty is definitely plotting something."

"Your Majesty is a man of foresight and foresight, which is beyond the reach of mortals like you and me."

"Among these twenty people, one must be a candidate for marriage!"

After Shen Yuantang escaped yesterday, Zhou Xinrou knew there would be changes, but she didn't expect that what she was waiting for was Shen Lanxi to be conferred the title of princess.

After Shen Yuantang ran into the big room, she never left. Because she used the life-saving grace as a bargaining chip, the big room helped her this time and helped her hide her whereabouts.

Large Room

Shen Conglian didn't want to cause trouble. He had never felt relieved since he knew that Liu and her eldest son had left Shen Yuantang in the courtyard.

"According to my observations over the years, my sister-in-law is definitely not as simple as she seems!" What if they annoy their sister-in-law, will they ever have a peaceful life in the future?

"Father, His Majesty has allowed me to go find my husband next month. It should be fine."

Liu complained quietly: "Yuan Tang is also my sister-in-law's flesh and blood. My sister-in-law wants to marry her off far away. It's too cruel."

"Mother, let's help Yuan Tang just this once, and we will be able to offset your life-saving grace in the future."

Mrs. Liu nodded, thinking that what her son said was right.

Hu Jinyu is leaving next month, and seeing her parents-in-law like this, she feels a little anxious.

I’m afraid that their tempers may not allow them to protect the eldest wife’s children.

"Mother, you must not listen to other people's one-sided words. Yuan Tang had previously yelled to Aunt San that the child couldn't leave her. When Aunt San sent someone to take the child away, she repeatedly obstructed and refused to return the child. She is not as pitiful as she said."

Shen Conglian: "She just doesn't have any children, so she wants to raise Yuan Hao's child."

Hu Jinyu shook her head gently: "If it were just this, it would be fine."

Neither Liu nor Shen Conglian heard any other meaning, so neither of them responded.

"If I could take you to your husband's place, I would have brought our whole family there."

Chen Conglian smiled and waved his hand first.

"No, no, His Majesty has been trying to arrange an official position for me these days. He even talked to me two days ago. I can't leave."

Liu: "How can you bring your family to the military camp? There was no such example in the previous dynasty. Your Majesty is willing to let you go. Many people have already talked about it."

Don’t think that she hears nothing just because she is in the backyard every day. Liang likes to tell her what happens in the court the most.

According to Liang, it was still the Prime Minister who suppressed those who were trying to stop him.

The Shen family is of the same clan as His Majesty. Are those ministers afraid that their family will rebel?

Hu Jinyu wanted to give a few more instructions when Shen Yuantang came over.

"Uncle, aunt, someone is coming from the palace."

Shen Yuantang thought that Shen Lanxi had sent someone to stop her from marrying out, but she didn't expect it was an imperial edict to confer the title of princess on her.

Not only her, but also nineteen people were named princesses in one go.

They are all adopted daughters by their mother.

"Yuan Tang, quickly accept the order!"

All the girls in the Shen family looked at the imperial edict in Shen Yuantang's hand with jealous eyes.

She took a big step from a county lady to a princess, but they are still nothing?

When will they be given the title of princesses?

Zhou Xinrou's face was calm, and she looked at Shen Yuantang without any blame.

"Get up!"

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict did not dare to show off in front of the Shen family. He just took the reward money and left.

Shen Congwen's expression was a little complicated.

"I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing to crown you a princess at this time."

Liu smiled and said, "Are you not happy about being crowned a princess? Brother, sister-in-law, only the people in your room are treated like this."

The girls in the other rooms could only watch helplessly.

Zhou Xinrou: "The imperial court wants to make peace with the Turks, and the bride must be chosen from among these princesses."

Liu immediately shut up. No matter how nice the title of princess sounded, she could not go to marry.

Fortunately, Yuantang has been married once, so no one would choose her.

After hearing Zhou Xinrou's words, some of the other girls in the Shen family felt relieved while others were still indignant.

Zhou Xinrou changed the subject and looked at Shen Yuantang and said, "I have already asked them to match their horoscopes. The 19th of next month is a good date. My family will prepare a generous dowry for you."

Shen Yuantang's heart sank. She didn't expect that she would not be able to escape marrying out.

No, I can't be married off so hastily.
