Chapter 213 The Imperial Edict Finally Arrived
Leng Luo and Dong Shiliu stood in the courtyard, looking at Xie Yanyan's fair and rosy complexion and the warm farmyard, with mixed feelings.
Dong Shiliu shouted with tears in his eyes: "Miss Xie."
Leng Luo had sunken eye sockets and chapped lips, but when he saw Zhou Shaoyu was okay, he felt relieved.
"Hello, Prince Zhou, General Xie, Miss Xie, nice to see you again!"
Xie Anfeng and his family learned about the imperial edict in advance from Chu Xiwang's original intelligence network. They waited for more than a month before the person who announced the edict arrived, but the Former Qin had already been destroyed.
But still very excited.
Governor Zhao urged: "Hurry up and announce the decree!"
Everyone knew that the Former Qin Dynasty had been destroyed, and this imperial edict of pardon came so late and seemed so inappropriate, but it represented the organization's recognition of Xie Anfeng's family.
Leng Luo took out the imperial edict from his arms, unfolded it respectfully, and said, "Thank you for accepting my order."
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims:..."
Xie An and his family were pardoned and became commoners, and Xie Yanyan was granted the title of Princess of Yongning County and the title of Yongning County in Kuaiji Prefecture.
Xie An accepted the imperial edict and expressed his gratitude.
Although the country is no longer a country, the sense of ceremony is still necessary.
From today on, not only are the family no longer criminals, but Xie Yanyan is also a county lord with a fiefdom.
Governor Zhao was a little nervous. It was true that he had given Xie Yanyan some land, but Xie City had not been built yet, and the Xie family could leave whenever they wanted.
He saw Xie Yanyan's great potential and was reluctant to let his family leave.
After the decree was announced, Xie Yanyan asked Xie Yong to call Miao Guang to check the health of Leng Luo and Dong Shiliu. The two had suffered a lot during the more than one month on the road and their health was seriously damaged.
He also instructed Xie Yong and Xie Lingyu to call Tang Xiaolin, Tang Ranran, Su Moqing's family, and even Xie Huan and Aunt Xue to come and celebrate together.
Tiffany Xie did a great job in the Zuyi Camp. She was quick and good at sewing. Her reputation in the village gradually improved and she received many rewards.
When she heard that Xie Anfeng's family had been acquitted and was preparing a banquet to celebrate, she curled her lips and said, "Tsk, the country is gone, what's the point of pardoning them!"
But in the end, she still took out two pairs of new gloves and two pairs of new shoes, stuffed them into Xie Yanyan's hands, and said, "I made these for my own use. If you can't use them all, I'll give them to you. Wear them when you work, and throw them away if you don't want them anymore."
Xie Yanyan looked at the shoes, they were her size. Xie Tingting had small feet, so the shoes must have been made for her, and the gloves were to prevent her hands from getting rubbed when doing farm work.
I took it and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Song Lingling asked her to sit down and eat together.
Tiffany Hsieh didn't listen and went to wash and pick vegetables.
Xie Yanyan went into the kitchen to "cook".
Zhou Shaoyu kept his word and lit the fire for her. Xie Ning couldn't let him do that and drove him out.
He stood beside Xie Yanyan and helped wash the vegetables, carrying them here and there.
In order to make new dishes and Xiaomei cheated together, they made 26 dishes and soups. Zhou Shizi arranged the dishes, which shocked Dong Shiliu and Leng Luo so much that their eyes almost fell out.
The world has really changed, and Prince Zhou is now serving dishes and bowls at Xie's house! !
Dong Shiliu felt that Prince Zhou seemed to be very happy? !
Leng Luo thought - maybe Prince Zhou had taken a fancy to Miss Xie? Was he planning to marry into her family? ?
Thinking of such an answer, Leng Luo felt that the world was really mysterious!
These meals were prepared according to the wedding banquet in her previous life. They were all the most substantial food to fill the stomach, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, seafood, stir-fried, deep-fried, braised, and stewed dishes, big steamed buns, and white rice.
There were three tables, one for men, one for women, and one for children.
There was also white wine prepared for the men's table, which was so delicious.
General Zhao drank so much that his cheeks were red. He said to Leng Luo and Dong Shiliu, "Whether you come to pardon me or not, I will treat General Xie as a general. If you don't believe me, ask them. I have never treated them as prisoners. They were just implicated in the first place."
Dong Shiliu drank a little too much and burst into tears: "The Former Qin is gone, His Majesty is gone, and His Highness is missing."
Leng Luo breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely: "I am an orphan, General Xie, can you take me in?"
Xie Anfeng was surprised: "You are willing to stay in Lingnan? The conditions here are not good."
"It's more peaceful here than in the north. I don't have any other skills. Isn't Miss Xie going to build a city? I can be your guard."
[The prince is here, I am here]
Xie Yanyan: Leng Luo is actually Zhou Shaoyu's man!
Xie Yanyan: "Commander Leng, please stay. This place will surely be more prosperous than the north in the future, and there will be a place for you to use your skills."
Dong Shiliu didn't want to stay, he just wanted to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Wherever the Crown Prince was, that was where he would be. If the Crown Prince was gone, he would guard his tomb.
There was something on the table over there that Xie Yanyan had to tell Xie Tingting.
"Emperor Murong Feng seized the Former Qin Empire and established the Kingdom of Yan. These two days, he made Xie Xiangxiang his concubine, but she is the only one in the harem. Xie Jinrong was named Duke Jingguo. I think they will most likely come here to look for you and your parents and take you back to Kyoto."
Without even thinking twice, Tiffany Hsieh said, "I will never go back."
"The conditions in the capital are good, and you may live better than here. You can still be your eldest daughter."
Xie Tingting said mockingly: "Before last year, I might have still dreamed, but now I can see it clearly. Will Xie Xiangxiang really take me back to enjoy a good life? Don't dream! If she is not scheming against me, I will dig my eyeballs out!"
"Even if she takes Xie Qingmu and Fang back, it's to sell me out. She will definitely use my marriage to consolidate her wealth and glory and use me as her stepping stone."
"I won't go back. I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay in Lingnan and earn my living by working with my own hands."
Tiffany Hsieh summed it up: "Even if I die in Lingnan tomorrow, I will not go back."
Aunt Xue was so frightened that she was shaking all over as she listened to them talking.
"Miss, they, Xie Anhuai, won't take me away again, right? They won't take Huan'er away, right?"
Xie Tingting said, "What are you afraid of? The way he treated you originally meant that he didn't regard you as a human being. When he left, your relationship was severed. Don't go no matter who invites you. Aunt Xue, you must make up your mind."
Aunt Xue has been living a very comfortable life in Lingnan these past few months. She has also been transferred to the Zuyi Camp to stay with Tiffany Xie.
Xie Huan followed everyone to farm, and a few days ago, he was transferred by Xie Yanyan to filter water in his own water purification pit. The mother and son had enough food and supplies, and with Xie Yanyan's protection, no one bullied them.
She didn't want to go back and didn't want to be with Xie Anhuai.
But she was so submissive that she didn't know what to do if Xie Anhuai came to find her.
Xie Huan followed Xie Yong and the others to the children's table. When he heard Aunt Xue's words, he came over and said to her, "Mom, don't worry. Even if they say that the Bodhisattva can take us to heaven, we just need to guard our hearts and resolutely not go back."
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xie Yanyan's family moved to a large courtyard that Governor Zhao had just bought for them. It was an asset of the Governor's Office. It was not luxurious, but it was large in area, with high walls and a safe courtyard.
Xie Yanyan's family moved in. Zhou Shaoyu smiled and helped carry the luggage. He watched Xie Anfeng and Song Lingling assign housing to everyone. He naturally pointed to the east room in the front yard and said, "I'll live here."
Xie Anfeng and his family were stunned. Was this a plan to stay here permanently?
However, before they could figure out why Zhou Shaoyu was so familiar with them, another uninvited guest arrived.
