Chapter 78: The Six Palaces



Nanny Wei's face was full of flattery, and she handed the imperial edict to Empress Duan with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Princess Fu'an is truly blessed."

Queen Duan looked at the imperial edict in her hand with some disbelief.

She had never expected that the Queen Mother would give Xiao Ruyu such a generous reward.

"Thank you, Grandmother."

Xiao Ruyu's eyes lit up and he silently counted the rewards in his heart.

[How much?! 1,000 taels of gold! 2,000 acres of fiefdom! Am I at the pinnacle of my life?!]

Queen Duan was also happy for her.

She is the first princess to be treated so well since the founding of Xuan Kingdom.

"Please ask the Queen and the Princess to move to Shou'an Palace for the canonization ceremony."

After giving her instructions, Nanny Wei left.

Queen Duan picked up Xiao Ruyu, her face full of joy.

"The Queen Mother thinks so highly of the Princess. Even if I am not with the Princess in the future, I will have a place to protect myself."

[I will stay with my mother and not go anywhere else. My mother is not allowed to abandon me.]

In half an incense stick of time, Queen Duan brought Xiao Ruyu to Shou'an Palace to complete the enthronement ceremony.

Looking at the ruddy-faced empress dowager, Xiao Ruyu felt relieved.

[Fortunately, the curse was broken in time, but it's a pity that the person behind the scenes was not caught. Who ordered the maid to do this? ]

When the empress dowager heard this, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Ruyu tenderly.

After the enthronement ceremony, Eleven carried Xiao Ruyu away.

Looking at her somewhat depressed face, I couldn't help but ask.

"Princess, are there still some things that are not going well for you?"

Xiao Ruyu sighed inwardly, feeling unhappy and not responding.

After returning to the palace, she happened to meet Duan Yiling and Duan Yiheng who came to the palace to visit her.

Upon hearing that she had received a reward, her two cousins ​​were happy for her from the bottom of their hearts.

"Little princess, come and let your cousin hug you. Have you grown taller recently?"

Duan Yiling rushed over, picked up Xiao Ruyu and spun her around. Looking at her soft and tender cheeks, he couldn't help but give her a kiss.

[Cousin! I miss you guys too! ]

Xiao Ruyu grinned, her curved eyebrows looking so cute.

Duan Yiheng stopped Duan Yiling's action and said, "We are in the palace. Please be more careful and don't break the etiquette and rules."

He stared at Duan Yiling holding Xiao Ruyu's hand tightly, trying to make him let Xiao Ruyu go.

Duan Yiling reluctantly put Xiao Ruyu into Eleven's hands.

[Has the plague outside the city been basically cured recently? ]

Xiao Ruyu asked the two of them in her heart.

Duan Yiheng nodded.

"The refugees have basically escaped the plague, and the military camps stationed there are also preparing to disband. The refugees are extremely grateful to the court."

Duan Yiling couldn't help but interrupt, "Thanks to you, cousin, for asking Eleven to bring the magic water and prescription. The medicine cured many of the refugees!"

Xiao Ruyu asked Eleven to deliver the spiritual spring and prescription, but only a few people in the Duan Mansion knew who produced them.

[That's good. As long as we can cure the plague of these refugees, slowly no one will get the disease anymore.]

"What's the prescription? Tell me about it."

A familiar voice was heard outside the palace, and Emperor Shangwen had arrived at the door of the bedroom without him noticing.

Duan Yiling and the other man quickly knelt down and saluted.

[Daddy, you are here. I want a hug from you.]

Xiao Ruyu flapped her hands, but Emperor Shangwen did not take her.

"Just now you were talking about the prescription for curing the plague. Was it prescribed by the princess?"

Duan Yiheng thought that Emperor Shangwen was angry and was afraid that he would blame Xiao Ruyu for running out of the palace without permission, so he quickly pulled Duan Yiling to apologize.

"The princess was also concerned about the refugees, and was worried that their plague would not heal. It's all my fault that I got her involved in this matter. You can blame me if you want."

Seeing that he put all the blame on himself, Xiao Ruyu's eyes were filled with sadness.

[No, Daddy, it was me who insisted on healing them. It had nothing to do with my cousin. Daddy, please don’t blame them.]

[These days, everyone in the Duan Mansion has been working very hard on the plague, and everyone is exhausted.]

It turns out that the prescription for curing the plague was really prescribed by him, the princess.

Emperor Shangwen's heart was filled with turbulent waves, and his expression softened.

"I won't blame you, get up."

Duan Yiheng and Duan Yiling breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground.

Emperor Shangwen held Xiao Ruyu in his arms, his eyes full of love.

What the god said was indeed true; his daughter was truly the lucky star of Xuan Country.

[I know that Daddy is the best. Daddy is the best daddy in the world.]

Emperor Shangwen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth because of Xiao Ruyu's amusing words.

[Dad, look at what I have done for the world, shouldn't you reward me with something?]

Xiao Ruyu blinked her big watery eyes.

"Tell me what you want, and I'll give it to you."

Emperor Shangwen nodded, with a doting smile on his face.

[Well... I don't really want anything. The Empress Dowager just gave me a lot of good things. ]

[However, other aunts in the palace also donated a lot of silver during the plague, and my mother also worked day and night for this matter. ]

[Why not just give them a big reward in the name of my mother? It will also be a token of my mother's kindness.]

Emperor Shangwen nodded slightly, it was time for the six palaces to be rewarded.

"The Emperor and the Empress have issued an order. By the order of Heaven, the harem is honored with special titles for the six palaces."

"De Fei, you are both virtuous and talented, and you have a good education. I am specially named the Imperial Concubine of De."

"Princess Wen, dignified and virtuous, is named Noble Consort Wen."

"Concubine Le, clever and intelligent, is named Concubine Le."

"Hereby..."

After receiving the imperial edict, all the concubines bowed to thank the Emperor and the Empress.

When Concubine Li, who was in Changning Palace, heard that she was the only one not included in the list of concubines, her nails dug into her flesh.

There was a poisonous fire burning in her eyes.

"Damn Queen, damn disaster star, when I regain my favor one day, I will definitely..."

Defei's position was promoted, and Xiao Ru'an also came to participate in the ceremony.

In order to celebrate the enthronement of the six palaces, Emperor Shangwen specially held a grand palace banquet for everyone in the palace to celebrate together.

After the palace banquet began, Xiao Ru'an sat in an inconspicuous corner and filled a glass of wine to taste it.

Prime Minister Lu sat next to him without him noticing.

Although he didn't know his intention, Xiao Ru'an didn't say anything.

Prime Minister Lu looked at Emperor Shangwen in the palace holding Xiao Ruyu with a doting look on his face, and spoke of it intentionally or unintentionally.

"I heard that the emperor listened to the little princess's opinion when he conferred titles on the six palaces this time."

He clicked his tongue, stroking his beard and shaking his head slightly.

"The Emperor really loves Princess Fu'an. I'm afraid that the princess' words will be put first in the future."

"The little princess is lovable, and I, as your brother, also like her very much. I wonder what Prime Minister Lu wants to say?"

Xiao Ru'an heard that he was trying to sow discord, and a hint of displeasure flashed across her brows.

"I have no other intentions, but I just think that if the princess gives the position of crown prince to someone in the future..."
