Gao Zhijun returned to the general's mansion, and Zhuang Die, Huo Jin and others also came back.
They ordered a batch of furniture, which would take about four or five days to complete.
"Zhijun, don't go to the clinic tomorrow. The imperial edict will arrive tomorrow. The emperor will confer the title of Princess Xiangyun on you. You must stay home to receive the edict!"
Murong Yuanbo told her that the emperor had named her a princess in the court today.
Not only Gao Zhijun was shocked, but even Huo Jinqian, Zhuang Die, Huo Jin, Zhang Chan and others were shocked. They found it unbelievable that Gao Zhijun was named a princess.
"Dad, what's wrong with the emperor? He made me a princess. If I see him, I have to call him father."
Gao Zhijun felt that the emperor was sick, and that recognizing her, a person who had no blood relationship with him, as his goddaughter, was ridiculous.
"Yes, from now on when you see the emperor you must call him father."
Murong Yuanbo instructed.
His daughter was his lucky star. Ever since he found her, his luck had been unstoppable. Not only had he won battles, but he had also been crowned a prince by the emperor, and she had even been crowned a princess, something unprecedented in history.
"Also, when the imperial edict arrives tomorrow, you must go to the palace to express your gratitude. Your father will accompany you then."
Murong Yuanbo said to Gao Zhili.
"I understand, Dad. Oh, no, I should call you Father!"
Gao Zhijun said mischievously.
"Zhijun, you will be a princess from now on. Should we call you princess when we see you?"
Zhuang Die said with some concern.
Her status was very different from that of her granddaughter. The other was a high and mighty princess, while she was just a peasant woman.
"Grandma, there are no such things here. We can just keep it as usual and call her whatever she wants."
Gao Zhijun has no class concept. In her previous life, she believed that everyone was equal and there was no need for etiquette.
"Isn't this against the rules? There should be proper rules, otherwise others will laugh at you and look down on you."
Zhang Chan said.
She doesn't understand the rules, but people in power always pay attention to hierarchy.
"My daughter, your in-laws are right. We still have to follow the proper rules. In front of outsiders, we should call you Princess. Even your mother has to call you Princess in front of outsiders, because your every move represents the royal family."
Liu Ningchu said to Gao Zhijun.
She felt that she still had to teach her daughter some rules, otherwise, it would be too late if she made a mistake.
"Well, you can call me that when there are outsiders or at a party. For the rest, you can call me whatever you want, because I am your junior."
Gao Zhijun knew that this place was different from her previous life. This was a feudal society, and what mattered most was hierarchy.
"Okay, let's all eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold!"
Gao Zhijun said.
Everyone started to eat.
After dinner, Huo Jinqian took Gao Zhijun to his room.
"Jinqian, what do you think the emperor means by this?"
Gao Zhijun sat down and asked Huo Jinqian in confusion.
"Because my Zhijun is smart, the emperor likes you and wants to make you a princess."
Huo Jinqian said jokingly.
This was also his true feelings. He really felt that Zhijun was smart and could not be compared with those ladies from wealthy families and rich girls in the capital.
"Who is your Zhijun? I didn't agree to marry you."
Gao Zhijun blushed and said shyly when Huo Jinqian said "my Zhijun".
"It's not mine, it's someone else's. We're engaged, and both sets of parents agree. You want to go back on your word, that's absolutely impossible."
Huo Jinqian looked at the blushing Gao Zhijun with amusement.
The girls in his family would also be shy and embarrassed. They have really grown up and become more feminine.
"That's hard to say. I'm a princess now, of noble status, with plenty of rich young men and ministers' legitimate sons to choose from. Do you think no one would want me?"
Gao Zhijun is now a princess, and her status allows her to choose from many gentlemen.
"You dare! If you dare to look at other men, I will, I will drive them away. Besides, do you think the emperor will agree to you marrying another man? You are his designated nephew's wife."
Huo Jinqian spoke honestly.
He actually understood a little bit of his uncle's intention.
If Zhijun is made a princess, her marriage will have to be approved by him, and he can then marry the princess to himself.
If she had not been named a princess, the emperor would not have been able to force Zhijun to marry because she had parents.
"So, it was actually because of you that the Emperor made me a princess."
Gao Zhijun also thought that it was because of Huo Jinqian, otherwise she would never believe that the emperor would make her a princess without even meeting her.
"Not entirely. You truly deserve to be named a princess by the Emperor. Think about it, your sweet potatoes and high-yield rice are enough to keep the people from starving or fleeing famine. The ten-repeater crossbows and grenades are powerful weapons that guard the borders, protect Daliang, and ensure the people live and work in peace and contentment. Aren't these enough for the Emperor to make you a princess? And the curved plow, the plague prescription, the surgery—all of these things, one by one, are not enough for the Emperor to make you a princess. So, the fact that you can be a princess is something you earned through your own strength, and it has nothing to do with me. Don't underestimate yourself."
Huo Jinqian didn't want Zhijun to misunderstand that she was named a princess because of him. In fact, it was not because she had too many extraordinary things that made the emperor name her a princess.
"Am I really that powerful? You are not lying to me."
Gao Zhijun asked Huo Jinqian in disbelief.
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you? Don't underestimate yourself, you are the best."
Huo Jinqian said affirmatively.
He has more girls than just these. There are also the daughters of Daliang. No lady from a noble family can compare to her. Even in the whole continent, there is no lady from a noble family who cannot compare to her.
"You just want to make me happy. If I'm this good, I'm a fairy."
Gao Zhijun said with a smile.
