Chapter 702 Her Blessing
"Are you going to review memorials again?" the princess asked reluctantly. "I don't want to review them, because I'll be scolded by the censors if I do."
The eunuch smiled apologetically and said, "How could that be? After your suggestion worked last time, Lord Qian from the Ministry of Revenue was convinced. Yesterday, when he heard you were ill, he even sent a special letter to pay his respects!"
"This old man doesn't care about me at all, he's obviously concerned about how I make money." The eldest princess muttered, but she couldn't help feeling much more comfortable in her heart. She sighed and said goodbye to Hu Xin'er.
There was no other way. She couldn't possibly wait for the emperor to approve the memorial, could she? That would be so unfilial of her.
However, when she was reviewing the memorial, she paused, thinking of the trusting looks of the emperor and Hu Xin'er.
"Can I really become the emperor?" She scratched her hair with the end of a pen and said to herself.
Not long after the eldest princess left, Hu Xiner was about to return to the palace when she saw an unexpected person.
Zhao Yunxuan walked over slowly, a warm smile on his face: "We meet again, Miss Hu."
"Please call me Madam Mu." Although her husband was not around, Hu Xin'er still said seriously, "We will soon set up our own business, so you can call me that for now."
Zhao Yunxuan nodded with a smile: "I wonder what brings you here, Madam?"
Since they were free, Hu Xiner chatted with him for a few more words, and then she found out that the reason Zhao Yunxuan came down the mountain was because he was summoned by the emperor.
He was able to enter the palace because His Majesty asked him to discuss state affairs.
Hu Xin'er's eyes flickered slightly. "Do you know that His Majesty intends to make the eldest princess the Crown Princess?"
Zhao Yunxuan nodded again. "Your Majesty is very old, and he is deeply hurt by the dethronement of the Crown Prince. Of his children, only the eldest princess is the most capable. She has assisted in government affairs for many days and has not only made no mistakes, but has also achieved several political achievements."
If this happened to the prince, it would definitely be publicized and everyone in the city would know about his intelligence and virtue.
However, the eldest princess had clearly made the same achievements, but she could not get fair evaluation from everyone. The officials just stopped talking about it on the surface, but they still had some complaints about this woman in their hearts.
Among all the officials, only Mr. Qian from the Ministry of Revenue dared to write a letter to praise the eldest princess.
However, this is mainly because Lord Qian is His Majesty's man.
The Ministry of Revenue is the purse of the imperial court, and the selection of personnel must be extremely cautious. Lord Qian was half impressed by the emperor's orders, and the other half was impressed by the eldest princess's talent in making money.
Hu Xin'er wasn't aware of the recent situation at the imperial court, but she could hear some clues from the words of the man before her. She raised her eyes and looked at him seriously: "Master Zhao, do you mean to say that you also support the eldest princess becoming emperor?"
Zhao Yunxuan regained his usual Buddha-like smile. "Everything in the world is predestined, but Master once told me that if a predetermined fate leads to the destruction of lives, then we can try to change it. Man can conquer nature."
After he finished speaking, he left quietly and walked into the palace where the emperor was.
Hu Xin'er stayed where she was, silently pondering these words, unable to understand what was going on.
She was asking about Zhao Yunxuan's attitude, but Zhao Yunxuan told her about fate. How does this connect?
Xiao Liu said with concern: "Madam, it's cold outside, let's go back and see the young master."
"No rush." Hu Xin'er held the small heater in her hand, "I always feel that this matter is not over yet."
Judging from the emperor's character, he must have something to say to her if he summoned her back so urgently.
Sure enough, not long after, the young eunuch came hurriedly again: "Princess, please go to the Yangxin Palace."
Inside the Yangxin Palace, the emperor had just taken a pill, and the conversation between him and Lord Zhao seemed to have come to an end.
"One pill is worth a thousand gold." He half-lay on the bed, panting. "My life is indeed worth a thousand gold."
"If Your Majesty lives one more day, the country will be kept stable for one more day. This is a great merit." Zhao Yunxuan said with his eyes lowered.
The emperor waved to Hu Xin'er weakly, a gentle smile on his face: "You're here? Yunxuan has already told me about your affairs."
"Ah?" Hu Xin'er was confused.
She thought the emperor wanted to talk to her about the father-daughter relationship, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
The emperor said slowly, "Although your spirit is not my biological daughter, it is a blessing to be able to let her live in peace and happiness in the other world. You are a daughter blessed by heaven, and I will certainly not treat you unfairly. However, due to the urgency of your illness, the canonization of the princess is inevitably hasty. I hope you will not mind."
After he said this, silence fell over the room.
A... a blessed girl? Hu Xin'er was dumbfounded. She was just an ordinary time traveler, how could she be called a blessed girl?
If I am really blessed, why am I so unlucky now?
Moreover, why did the emperor confer the title of princess on her, a blessed girl?
Walking out of the palace gate, Hu Xin'er was filled with questions: "Why did you tell His Majesty that I was a blessed girl?"
Zhao Yunxuan smiled in silence. After they had walked away, he spoke again, "Madam, haven't you been troubled by this matter? You are a woman sent from heaven, so you won't be regarded as a demon or evil spirit by the world. You can openly reveal your true identity."
"So, your identity as Fu Nu is a lie, and you only did it to protect me?" Hu Xin'er scratched her head. "In that case, I have to thank you. But before you tell the emperor, you have to get my consent first, right?"
"The situation was urgent. I calculated that you were in trouble. Only by making up this excuse would His Majesty be willing to lend the Divine Power Army..." Zhao Yunxuan explained.
Hu Xin'er still felt a little awkward: "What kind of thing is it to recognize someone as a father for no apparent reason? Does a blessed girl have to be a princess?"
Zhao Yunxuan comforted him, "No matter what, this body is of royal blood and must return to the royal orthodoxy. Madam, there's no need to think so much. Giving you the status of princess is only to better protect you."
He paused, then smiled and said, "Even if it's for selfish reasons, I hope the princess can take good care of herself."
Then, he pointed at himself and said, "Ever since I've been by the princess' side, I haven't had any minor illnesses or pains. It's all thanks to the princess."
"Is it really that magical?" Hu Xin'er was still a little skeptical, but Zhao Yunxuan's expression couldn't be faked. "Thank you for this time, but don't do it again next time, or it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor."
She chose to believe Zhao Yunxuan because there was nothing to be plotted against her and he didn't need to go to so much trouble to plot against her.
After saying this, she said goodbye and returned to the palace.
Zhao Yunxuan stood under the plum tree, stretched out his hand and caught the falling plum petals.
"I have not deceived you, my Lord." He breathed in the cool air and his lips moved silently.
At least for him, it was indeed thanks to the blessing from Hu Xiner that he became alive.
