Chapter 442: This is intolerable
Just thinking about these words gave Qin Yishu a headache.
After rubbing his temples again and thinking for a long time, Qin Yishu cleared his throat and said, "Well, Su Yujin did make a great contribution to the birth of Concubine Shu this time. Considering that she was able to protect Concubine Shu and her daughter, I gave her this honor."
"I order Su Yujin, the Lady of Ping'an County, to be named Lady of Ping'an County. I will also reward her with 1,000 taels of gold, 30 pieces of silk, and a number of jewels. If you want anything else, you can go to my storehouse and choose one or two."
The decree granting the marriage will be issued soon. According to He Yanxiu's temperament, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Su Yujin came out from the inner hall and knelt down with He Yanxiu to express their gratitude.
"Get up." Qin Yishu nodded with a smile and looked at Su Yujin. "How is Concubine Shu now? Does she still need you to take care of her?"
"Her Majesty Shufei is fine now. I have already prescribed a prescription for her recovery and told the subordinates what to pay attention to afterwards. I think there is nothing wrong." Su Yujin answered truthfully.
"In that case, you've worked hard for most of the day, so go back and have a rest." Qin Yishu touched his nose.
Everyone, hurry up and leave. Don't delay me from spending time with my beloved concubine and precious daughter.
"yes."
He Yanxiu, Su Yujin and Qin Peiyou agreed and left the hall.
Qin Yishu saw the three of them walk away, and then he went to the inner hall to visit Concubine Shu and the newly born little princess. ——The decree that Su Yujin was named Princess Ping'an, as well as the emperor's reward to her, were delivered to the house where Su Yujin lived by the Ministry of Rites and the eunuchs in the palace that day.
In the following days, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital at the fastest speed.
Originally, only the daughters of princes, dukes, and princesses could be given the title of a county lady. Su Yujin, who had no royal blood at all, was the first person in this dynasty to be given the title of a county lady.
The most important thing is that Su Yujin was just a commoner, but he was able to rise to the top step by step and receive such an honor. It is really touching.
I feel that Su Yujin is so lucky.
I feel that Su Yujin actually has abilities that are worthy of the emperor's appreciation.
"Princess Ping'an is now a favorite of the Emperor and Concubine Shu. Her future prospects are limitless."
"Who says it's not true? Wealth and splendor are endless to enjoy."
"Hey, you say, Princess Ping'an has such a prominent status, and is trusted by the Emperor and Concubine Shu. If anyone marries Princess Ping'an, won't he be able to rise to prominence?"
"At least I can save myself twenty years of hard work, no, thirty years!"
"It's not just a few decades, it's clearly a lifetime. If I can marry Princess Ping'an, I won't have to worry about my whole life..."
"What are you thinking about? Princess Ping'an and the young Minister He are a perfect match, talented and pretty. How can it be your turn to marry Princess Ping'an?"
"You don't know this, right? The more capable a woman is, the less she likes people in high positions and power. She just wants to find a handsome and obedient man to live a carefree life. As for handsomeness, everyone has their own preferences. Who knows that the one I gave birth to is not the type that Ping An County Lord likes?"
"That is to say, it is said that Minister He and Princess Ping'an are a perfect match, but in the end, the two of them have never made an engagement. It is possible that this is completely untrue. Who knows how many couples have ended up getting married based on these rumors."
"That's what happened..."
“…”
Who knows that the child I gave birth to is not the type that Ping An County Lord likes? If I marry Ping An County Lord, I won't have to worry for the rest of my life...
These were originally just jokes, but the listeners took them seriously although the sayers did not mean it. Some people went home and thought about it carefully for several days, and after looking at themselves in the mirror again and again, they finally changed into the bright clothes that they would normally wear when visiting guests, and went to Su Yujin's house.
Going to someone's door to recommend oneself is somewhat beneath one's dignity, so one cannot bring oneself to do it.
But, we can meet by chance!
Isn’t this what is performed in plays and written in books?
Miss Qianjin likes chance encounters the most, and she would like to meet them many times in a day, which makes it seem that the two people have a deep bond. Even after separation, Miss Qianjin will never forget them.
People who had such thoughts also came to the vicinity of Su Yujin's house with such an idea in mind.
But when he got there, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
The area within a hundred meters from the Su family's residence was bustling with people, even more lively than the streets in the capital during the New Year and Lantern Festival.
Needless to say, these are all people who are hoping to meet Princess Ping'an by chance!
In particular, you can see a few familiar faces in the crowd. After seeing each other's faces, they all look very embarrassed.
"Brother Zhu usually studies by candlelight at night, and he never stops even when he is sick. Why are you out wandering around today?"
"Ahem, my mother was not feeling well, so I came out to help get medicine. I passed by here and saw a lot of people, so I thought something was going on, so I stayed for a while."
"Oh my, isn't this Lord Feng? Today is not a day off, Lord Feng doesn't have to be on duty?"
"There was an emergency at home, and I have to go back to deal with it. I'm passing by here, passing by, passing by."
"But isn't Lord Feng's home in the opposite direction?"
"Hahahaha, really? Did I take the wrong path..."
"Brother Gu, the clothes you are wearing today are not good. They make your skin look much darker and you look quite listless."
"Brother Guo, your belt hook is a bit eye-catching. I'm afraid that at first glance, you might think that Brother Guo is a vain person."
"Hey, hey, hey, are your eyes growing on the top of your head? You didn't even look at the road when you walked. You stepped on my new shoes. Can you afford to pay for it?"
"Although you and I are both studying in the Imperial College, your grades are usually very poor. You even ranked last in the monthly exam a few days ago. It's better not to embarrass yourself here."
“…”
For a while, some greeted each other with a friendly expression, some competed secretly, and some even argued openly...
No one had any intention of backing down. Instead, seeing so many people trying desperately to seek marriage with Princess Ping'an, they felt that this was something that could not be obtained even if they begged for it, and they absolutely could not give it to others.
As a result, the already bustling crowd seemed even more noisy.
A team of carriages and horses came towards the noise. When they saw the crowd approaching, the people had no intention of retreating. The guards in front shouted angrily, "Get out of the way!"
By this time, most of the people present had become red-eyed rabbits. When they saw the guards asking them to move aside, they immediately jumped up.
My goodness, even the guards want to curry favor with this marriage, and even want to use their positions to bluff and create opportunities.
This is intolerable!
"What are you doing here!" someone shouted angrily.
