"Qing...Qingcheng, what...what is going on?"

Ye Maochun's legs were shaking and he almost fell down, but fortunately Mu Lige was holding him steadily. It took him a lot of effort to finish his words.

"Dad, Mom will tell you about this in detail later." Mu Lige signaled with his eyes to Hua Rongsheng, who was also stunned, to support Ye Maochun.

"Huaqiao Village villagers Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun, listen to the emperor's oral instructions!" After reading the imperial edict, Feng Cailan began to convey Nalan Yunzhi's second order.

"Your humble servant Hua Rongsheng and your humble servant Ye Maochun respectfully listen to the imperial edict!" Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun knelt down upon hearing this.

"The Emperor's oral order is hereby passed on. Hua Rongsheng and her husband Ye Maochun, villagers of Huaqiao Village, are unpolished jade and pure gold, possessing precious stones and jade in their hands. They are gentle, respectful, frugal, and supportive of the weak and the needy. They saved the Crown Princess from danger and have made meritorious contributions in raising her. Hua Rongsheng is hereby appointed as a member of the Imperial Court, and her husband Ye Maochun is hereby appointed as a fifth-rank imperial consort, and honored as the Crown Princess's adoptive mother and adoptive father. They are hereby granted a thousand acres of fertile land, ten thousand taels of gold and silver, a large house, and a number of servants to ensure their retirement!"

"Mr. Hua, Mr. Ye, the emperor's decree will be sent to Fufeng County soon. Why don't you kowtow and express your gratitude?"

"Your humble servant, Hua Rongsheng, and your humble servant, Ye Maochun, bow to thank the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long, long live the Emperor!

After Hua Rongsheng helped Ye Maochun up from the ground, she was completely stunned. She thought her fame in this life would end at the level of a scholar, but she never expected that she would directly jump to the status of a wealthy man.

Although the title of "Yuanwai" only had a salary and no real power, it was the best position for Hua Rongsheng, who just wanted to live a peaceful life with her husband. (It was granted by the emperor, so she didn't have to work, but she still had a salary.)

"Why don't you all quickly pay your respects to Her Royal Highness, Mr. Hua, and Mr. Ye?"

Feng Cailan used her powerful words and iron-blooded and domineering aura to establish the first authority for her niece and her adoptive mother and father in front of everyone.

"I, a humble servant, pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess! May Her Royal Highness live a thousand years! A thousand years! A thousand thousand years!"

"I pay my respects to Mr. Hua and Mr. Ye. May Mr. Hua be blessed! May Mr. Ye live long and happy!"

Under the leadership of the village head and clan leader, all the villagers of Huaqiao Village knelt down and kowtowed to "Hua Qingcheng", Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun in an orderly manner.

Feng Qiyan and Shan You also kowtowed to "Hua Qingcheng". As for Hua's mother and father, Feng Qiyan's status was higher than theirs, so naturally there was no need for her to salute.

After Feng Cailan and the Hua family entered the Hua residence, Feng Cailan's sixty armed personal guards dutifully guarded the gate. No one dared to enter without permission, and even the village head and clan leader were kept outside the gate.

"Someone, open the ancestral hall!"

The extremely excited clan leader Hua Zhengfeng gave instructions to the people in charge of village affairs with trembling hands.

This is too girly!

The crown prince of Laifeng Kingdom, the future king!

Their tiny Huaqiao Village actually produced a princess. This... was more than just a source of honor for the family! The entire Huaqiao Village's ancestors and descendants would see their worth multiplied because of Hua Qingcheng!

For the women who once found it difficult to find a husband because of Huaqiao Village's remoteness and backwardness, finding a husband in the future will probably be easier than just going shopping. For the men who once couldn't marry into a good family because of Huaqiao Village's poverty, it is expected that in the future, their doorsteps will be broken down by matchmakers.

The village head Hua Sufen also has the same idea as the clan leader Hua Zhengfeng. After all, this is because they, as the guardians and people in power of Huaqiao Village, have a deep love for this land.

Of course, the most excited people were the eligible men in Huaqiao Village, especially those who had been approached by Hua Qingcheng (the original owner) but failed to get her. They all regretted their decisions and their hearts were filled with excitement.

As for those who had had conflicts or disagreements with Hua Qingcheng, they were secretly reflecting on whether they had offended her in any way and whether she would retaliate against them...

The front yard and main hall of Huazhai.

"Qingcheng, no, Your Highness the Crown Princess, what is going on?" There was no one else around, so Ye Maochun asked "Hua Qingcheng" who was sitting at the top again.

Hua Qingcheng's current status is no longer the same. Even if the other party is her adoptive mother or father, in a world where imperial power is supreme, all other relationships must be put aside. Whether "Hua Qingcheng" likes it or not, she must sit in the most honorable position, after all, it represents the majesty of the royal family.

"Godfather, this is a long story and I'm not very clear about the details." Mu Lige glanced at Hua Qingcheng, who was wearing Wuchen's appearance, with an apologetic look in his eyes.

The Emperor had now announced to the world that he had recognized the Fourth Princess, Nalan Qingcheng, and had also named her the Crown Princess. Naturally, he could no longer call Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun "mother and father," as doing so would be a grave disrespect to the Emperor.

"My two benefactors, please accept Feng Cailan's greetings!" Feng Cailan bowed deeply to Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun.

“No! No!”

Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun were both flattered and waved their hands repeatedly to avoid Feng Cailan's greeting.

"It seems that the two benefactors think that the general's gift is too light."

Feng Cailan didn't hesitate, kneeling down before Hua Rongsheng and his wife, kowtowed. Her eyes were slightly red, tears welling up in them, a look of genuine emotion. She, Feng Cailan, only kneeled before the Emperor, her mother, and her father, but today, she was willing to kneel down to thank Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun for Feng Lingyan.

"Qingcheng is the orphan of my brother Lingyan. After my brother gave birth to Qingcheng, she was abducted by thieves and her life and death have been unknown since then. My brother also died of the loss of his beloved daughter. The two benefactors saved Qingcheng's life. They are her reborn mother and father, and are also the great benefactors of my General's Mansion. On behalf of my brother, this general thanks you two for your great kindness!"

"I thought it would remain a secret forever, but I didn't expect that one day it would be dug out." Ye Maochun sighed slightly.

"Sixteen years ago in the winter, I gave birth to a daughter, but unfortunately, she was unlucky. One very cold night, after she took her last sip of milk, her body began to slowly grow cold. When I was heartbroken, someone placed a newborn baby girl in a wooden basin at our doorstep. Her mother and I picked her up and raised her as our own daughter."

Ye Maochun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at "Hua Qingcheng" with a face full of pity.

"We don't ask for her to be rich and powerful, we just hope that she can grow up safely and healthily and stay with us forever. It seems that it is God's will. The small circle of the Hua family can't contain the soaring phoenix after all."

Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but tear down her eyes when she heard this.

This Huafu, Ye Maochun, was truly a wonderful father. He was one of the few people in this other world who could truly enter her heart. She truly considered him her father, but the Emperor had now made her identity known to the world. She feared that from now on, she would no longer be able to be by Ye Maochun's side as often as before.

"Stepmother, stepfather, no matter what Qingcheng's identity is, she will always be your daughter." Mu Lige's eyes were also slightly red, and he told Hua Qingcheng and what was in his heart.

Looking at the loving mothers and fathers and filial daughters, Feng Cailan was reluctant to interrupt them, but she still had a holy order to execute.

"Qingcheng, as the Imperial Envoy, I, the General, have not only rewarded your adoptive mother and father, and carried out the mission of welcoming the Crown Princess back to the palace, but the Emperor has also issued a secret decree..."
