Chapter 389: Princess's Enthronement
Yun Ran was about to get on the Yin family's carriage with Yin Qianlan.
The curtain of the Rong family's sedan chair moved, and an old lady in a long gown was supported by someone and walked down from the sedan chair.
"Ranran!" The old lady's eyes lit up when she saw her.
Yun Ran stopped and looked back to see the old lady of the Rong family, Min Jingyao.
"Grandma!"
She smiled and ran towards Min Jingyao: "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick you up." Min Jingyao took Yun Ran's hand and looked her up and down.
"Hey, although you are in Kuizhou, which is not far from the capital, the last time we met as grandparents was during the Chinese New Year last year, right? Ranran, do you miss your grandmother?"
"Yes, of course I do." Yun Ran smiled with bright eyes, took Min Jingyao's hand and threw himself into her arms affectionately.
"Even if you don't come today, I plan to go see you and Grandfather early tomorrow morning."
"Really? I think if I hadn't come today, you would have gone to the Yin Mansion, right?"
Min Jingyao reached out and tapped her little nose, "You're the only one who's sweet-mouthed and good at talking!"
"cough……"
A cough was heard from the Yin family's carriage nearby. Yin Qiu, with a stern face, poked his head out of the carriage.
"Oh, Lord Yin is here too."
Min Jingyao acted as if she had realized something afterward: "If I had known that Lord Yin was here, I wouldn't have come this time. It doesn't look like I'm deliberately trying to snatch Ranran from you."
Yin Qiu: ...
The Yin family's carriage is parked here, how could he not be here?
Besides, it’s the emperor’s birthday, is it possible that he won’t come?
He tried hard to keep a straight face and not let his brows wrinkle together, which would make him look ungenerous.
The old lady of the Rong family and that old man Rong Bing are truly worthy of being a couple!
The work is the same!
If she really wasn't here to snatch Ranran from him, why was she blocking the gate of the imperial city now?
Yin Qiu didn't want to talk.
Yun Ran looked at Min Jingyao's smiling face, then at Yin Qiu's gloomy face, and chuckled.
"Grandpa, you and my mother should go back first. Grandma must be missing me. Knowing that I entered the palace and came to the capital, she can't wait to see me."
"I'll go back and keep her company. Tomorrow morning I'll come over to greet you and mother and make you breakfast."
Her voice was sweet, and there was no way Yin Qiu would refuse.
"Yes." Yin Qiu said with a straight face, "Then I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he got on the carriage with Yin Qianlan and the others.
Min Jingyao also pulled Yun Ran into the sedan chair, and the eight-man sedan chair moved steadily.
Yun Ran snuggled into the soft cushion and breathed a sigh of relief.
It has been so many years, and her two grandparents have never stopped arguing.
"Ranran..."
She was lost in thought when Min Jingyao's voice brought her back to reality.
"Grandmother?"
"You're not really going to leave early tomorrow morning, are you? Grandma has been waiting for you for so long, you're not just going to stay overnight at the Rong Mansion, are you?"
Min Jingyao held her hand, her eyes full of expectation and pleading.
Yun Ran was helpless: "Then I'll go over and pay my respects to Grandpa and Mother, and then come back to accompany Grandma."
"Oh, Ranran is such a good kid." Min Jingyao smiled immediately.
"By the way, the morning tea you just mentioned to that old man Yin Qiu..."
"I'll make it for you and grandpa tomorrow morning too." Yun Ran took her hand and said gently.
"Okay, grandma will know that Ranran likes grandma the most, and grandma loves Ranran the most!"
"By the way, your cousin is getting engaged in a few days. He'll have to go back to Ping'an Town. Do you want to go?"
Min Jingyao looked at her, her eyes full of joy.
Yun Ran was stunned for a moment: "Brother Rong is getting engaged? To whom?"
"Who else could it be! Your fourth sister, Yunyue!"
"So fast..." Yun Ran was a little dazed.
In the blink of an eye, Brother Rong is about to get engaged to Fourth Sister.
"Let's go back together. You haven't been back for two or three years, right? You don't miss your grandma, but your grandma misses you too."
As an elder, Min Jingyao understands Zhao Zhilan's feelings very well.
A few years ago, she and Rong Bing brought Yun Ran back. The Yun family entertained them warmly and the two families had a good relationship.
Not long after, Rong Yan'an and Shen Yu took Rong He there again. After the two families met, the matter finally began to have some progress.
"Well, of course I have to go back. I still have to congratulate Brother Rong and Fourth Sister!"
"You girl!" Min Jingyao reached out and tapped her forehead, and smiled.
Yun Ran and Min Jingyao returned to Rong Mansion and did not speak a word all night.
The next morning, she got up early to prepare breakfast tea for Rong Bing and Min Jingyao.
My second uncle and aunt went to the martial arts gym early in the morning. Rong He has now taken over the Yaoxian Pavilion and rarely goes home.
The white rice porridge in the pot was boiling. Yun Ran deftly sprinkled the marinated sashimi into it. The rice porridge boiled and soon the fish slices were cooked.
Sprinkle some seasoning spices and chopped vegetable leaves before serving, and a pot of steaming hot fish porridge is ready.
She took the fish porridge out of the pot and took out the kneaded dough to make shrimp dumplings.
However, at this moment, Qingqing rushed in with a panicked look.
"Little Miss!"
"Why are you still here?! Someone's coming from the palace!"
Yun Ran stopped kneading the dough and asked, "Hmm?"
"It's Eunuch An, the emperor's attendant! He's here to deliver the emperor's decree to you!"
"Give me an order?" Yun Ran frowned.
Didn't Grandpa suppress the matter of entering the palace to serve as an official last night? The Emperor himself also said that this matter should not be mentioned again.
So what is the purpose of this?
While she was thinking, Qingqing came over anxiously, helped her wipe her hands, and pulled her to the front hall.
"Anyway, young lady, go ahead! The old lady and the old master are ahead."
Yun Ran followed Qingqing into the front hall and saw Anji standing in the hall waiting for her with a whisk in his hand.
Seeing her come in, he smiled and said, "This young lady from the Rong family is really hard to invite."
Yun Ran said in a gentle voice, "I was busy making morning tea for Grandpa and Grandma. I'm sorry to bother you, Father-in-law."
With her saying this, Anji couldn't make things difficult for her. "You are indeed a filial son. No wonder His Majesty wants to reward you. Yunran, accept the decree!"
After saying this, he took the imperial edict from the wooden tray held by a young eunuch beside him, opened it, and read it out:
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Yunran, the daughter of the Rong family, is exceptionally intelligent, ingenious, and a master of cooking, deeply favored by His Majesty. She is hereby granted the title of Princess Lingxi. By decree!"
After he finished speaking, he rolled up the imperial edict and handed it to Yun Ran with both hands.
Yun Ran was stunned, and Rong Bing and Min Jingyao, who were kneeling on the ground with her, were also stunned.
"What? Are you so happy that you've gone mad? Receive the order." Eunuch An's shrill voice rang out.
Yun Ran stretched out her hands in a daze, and Eunuch An stuffed the imperial edict directly into her hands, then took the young eunuch with him back to the palace to report.
"This...what on earth does the emperor want to do!" Min Jingyao came to her senses first, and her hands were shaking with anger.
"He doesn't have a daughter himself, why would he steal someone else's granddaughter?"
