Fortunately, he was not misunderstood as having any connection with the human trafficking case that caused panic in the entire imperial city.
However, Minister Feng was even more confused. "Orphanage?"
Emperor Donglin nodded and told Minister Feng about how Xiao Ruoyi caught the human traffickers and rescued a group of children.
"So, now Yiyi is planning to build a courtyard to take in children. In the future, we can also take in some homeless orphans and assign people to take care of and teach them. In the future, we can also send talents to Donglin Country!"
The reason why I made all the purposes known is that I hope that Minister Feng can find a courtyard that is more suitable to shelter those children.
When Minister Feng heard Emperor Donglin's explanation, he was shocked.
Although he had seen the excitement of the Imperial Guards raiding a large number of human traffickers’ dens in the imperial city before entering the palace, he had never expected that such a big commotion was all caused by Xiao Ruoyi.
It turned out that Xiao Ruoyi discovered the hideout of the human traffickers and dispatched the Royal Guards in order to rescue the children with lightning speed.
Why does the little princess always do such big things?
It is such a major event that benefits the country and the people!
...
...
"Yes, I will go back and choose the most suitable courtyard for the little princess!"
Emperor Dong Lin nodded and instructed, "Well, pick more of those houses, and then go find Yi Yi and let Yi Yi choose them herself!"
Minister Feng was stunned. He didn't expect that Emperor Donglin would give Xiao Ruoyi such great authority.
"Yes! I will arrange it right away!"
Emperor Donglin looked at Xiao Ruoyi in his arms tenderly, "Yiyi, are you satisfied with this?"
"Yeah! Super satisfied!"
Xiao Ruoyi became excited, [Hey, this house should be mine too! ]
Emperor Donglin's eyes flashed with tenderness, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Lord Feng, you should also pick out some houses and let Yiyi choose from them. They can be used as Yiyi's residence in the imperial city in the future!"
The ceremony to confer the title of princess to Yiyi is coming soon. Since Yiyi likes houses, let her choose one in advance.
Xiao Ruoyi turned her head and blinked her beautiful big eyes in surprise at Emperor Dong Lin, "Daddy, is this really possible?"
"Of course you can! You have done so many good things, so Daddy will naturally reward you! Moreover, I will arrange your canonization ceremony for you soon. You can choose in advance now, and it will take time to have someone repair it after you are selected!"
Xiao Ruoyi immediately clapped her hands happily, "Yeah, that's great! Yiyi has a house outside too!"
[Hehe, very good. From now on, when I am too busy and the palace gates are closed, I can rest in the mansion outside! ]
Emperor Donglin: "..." I gave you the mansion, not to let you stay outside the palace! Is it too late to regret now?
However, looking at Xiao Ruoyi's excited look, she couldn't take it back!
Alas, he was still too reckless and thoughtless!
Emperor Donglin coughed twice and hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay, "Yiyi, you are still young. According to the ancestral rules, you must live in the palace and not outside!"
Xiao Ruoyi tilted her head, "Is that so?"
[Tsk! Having a house is the same as not having one! So boring! In that case, let’s talk about it later! Shouldn’t I just wait until I’m an adult? ]
"Yes, yes, yes!" Emperor Donglin nodded quickly, "Didn't you see that your brothers didn't move out?"
Wang Dehai raised his head slightly, glanced at Emperor Donglin, and lowered his eyes with a deep smile.
Tsk, the princes haven’t moved out yet, isn’t it because you haven’t awarded them the mansion yet?
Usually, when a prince is rewarded with a mansion, he will move out and usually receive this benefit after he reaches adulthood.
It can only deceive the little princess who knows nothing!
So, Wang Dehai looked at Xiao Ruoyi with sympathy and envy again.
The reason why she was still envious was entirely because although Emperor Donglin had given Xiao Ruoyi a mansion, he was still reluctant to let her leave the palace and would not allow her to stay even for one night. This showed the status of Xiao Ruoyi in Emperor Donglin's heart.
Wang Dehai felt that if we talk about importance, Emperor Donglin would rather die than save Xiao Ruoyi!
The Minister of Revenue also looked up at Emperor Donglin, then looked at Xiao Ruoyi, and weighed Xiao Ruoyi's status in his heart again.
The Minister of Revenue and Wang Dehai all understood those rules, so only Xiao Ruoyi, who had not yet familiarized herself with the palace rules, believed in them. However, this also proved Xiao Ruoyi's status.
What's more, Xiao Ruoyi had done such a great thing that shocked the whole country. From now on, he would never offend Xiao Ruoyi even if he offended anyone else!
Especially when it comes to choosing, he would rather choose Xiao Ruoyi than anyone else. Even the imperial concubine, the queen, or the princes and nobles are no match for Xiao Ruoyi.
Although she was an adult in the modern world, she was still a rookie in this world. She had never thought about truly understanding the palace rules, so she was deceived by Emperor Donglin smoothly.
After arranging everything, Xiao Ruoyi felt satisfied and left the imperial study to find Concubine Liang.
Emperor Donglin gave Minister Feng some instructions again, ordering him to carry out the matter seriously and not let Xiao Ruoyi down.
Minister Feng once again carefully considered Xiao Ruoyi's status, then stepped back.
Xiao Ruoyi returned to Yaohua Palace and excitedly told Concubine Liang what happened today, which made Concubine Liang very excited.
Of course, Concubine Liang also admired everything Xiao Ruoyi had done. Although she was just a young woman, she knew how shocking it was to be able to think of and do such a great thing that would benefit the country and the people!
Who says women are inferior to sons? Her daughter is just so amazing!
Concubine Liang was very happy to have a daughter who was like a lucky star, and she held her in her arms.
The next morning, today's morning court was extremely lively, and the reason was naturally caused by Xiao Ruoyi.
Originally, Emperor Donglin wanted to improve the standards of Xiao Ruoyi's enthronement ceremony, but there was no good support.
This human trafficking case gave Emperor Donglin a good reason to divide the fiefdoms, and also gave him confidence.
The ceremony was directly upgraded to the scale of the eldest princess. The Ministry of Rites, which was responsible for arranging the ceremony, had always been opposed to this.
They knew that they had little influence and Emperor Donglin was determined, so they planned to let everyone raise their objections.
So, they all spread the news.
In fact, Emperor Donglin saw the Ministry of Rites' actions, but he let it go and did not stop it.
He wanted to let everyone know why Xiao Ruoyi was named the eldest princess!
Therefore, the discussion in the morning court became whether Xiao Ruoyi was qualified to be enfeoffed with the ceremony of the eldest princess.
Naturally, at the beginning almost all the ministers were opposed.
"Your Majesty, I think that the little princess is still young, and her biological mother is only a concubine, so it is against etiquette to enfeoff the eldest princess!"
"I hereby reconsider! The little princess has not done anything beneficial to the Donglin Kingdom, so the matter of conferring the title of princess should be postponed!"
"Your Majesty, you have made the illegitimate little princess the eldest princess. Where does that put the queen?"
