Chapter 2446 (Extra) - After that, she'll be the Little Princess.
Another thing is that the emperor gave Meng Yunzheng an imperial edict, which was like a get-out-of-jail-free card. Even after the emperor was gone, this edict would still be of great use.
Such favor is unprecedented for His Majesty.
However, the Empress understood the Emperor's thoughts very well.
Meng Yunzheng and the emperor met when they were still in humble circumstances. When the emperor was still the fifth prince, the two went through thick and thin together, overcoming many obstacles and hardships.
This is a friendship from our youth, and it's very precious.
However, after the emperor ascended to the throne, Meng Yunzheng chose to retire gracefully, resigning from his post and returning to his hometown without any hesitation.
Upon returning, he did not simply abandon the matter. Instead, he became the headmaster, continuing to assist the emperor in a completely harmless manner.
In the emperor's heart, Meng Yunzheng was sincere. Over the years, everyone had changed to some extent, but he alone did not care about fame and fortune and had no selfish motives towards the emperor.
It can be said that Meng Yunzheng held a more important position in the emperor's heart than Qi Lie, Xiang Weinan, and others.
Such people ask for nothing in return, and the more the emperor wants to give them something.
The Empress knew very well that even if Meng Yunzheng was no longer active in the court, and even if he might not see the Emperor again for several years, the Emperor would never forget him and would remember him if there were any benefits.
Now, in the future, and including his children.
Just like this time, as soon as he heard that Meng Yunzheng had brought his wife and children, he immediately had an idea. Without even seeing Mianmian's face, he directly asked the Empress to take her in as her goddaughter.
She is not only the Empress's adopted daughter, but also the Emperor's.
The Empress said to Shu Yu, "Today I will first inform the County Princess, and tomorrow the Emperor will issue an imperial edict during the morning court. County Princess, you don't need to worry. Mianmian is very fortunate, and it's not a bad thing for her to have two more people who dote on her."
Upon hearing this, Shu Yu sighed inwardly.
Since it doesn't involve court intrigue and it's a matter decided by both the emperor and empress, it would seem ungrateful for her to refuse.
She nodded. "Shuyu understands."
She called Mianmian over, "From now on, Your Majesty will be your godmother. Come, kowtow to your godmother."
"Oh." Mianmian didn't quite understand what was going on. By the time she came to her senses, she had already finished kowtowing.
The Empress took out a jade bracelet. "This is a gift from your godmother. Here, take it. From now on, you will be the noble little princess of the Great Su Dynasty."
Mianmian knew that jade was very fragile and didn't dare to touch it. After glancing at it twice, she quickly asked Shuyu to put it away.
Shu Yu was helpless, but the Empress thought that the child had known how to cherish the gifts given by others since he was a child, and had a good character.
She also gave Huo Huo a jade pendant as a gift.
Huo Huo's father, Zhao Xi, also had a close relationship with the emperor.
Back when the emperor was still the fifth prince, he often had to carry out various dangerous tasks in secret. At that time, Zhao Xi was the fifth prince's personal physician.
The Fifth Prince once nearly lost his life, and it was he who saved him.
Four years ago, during his trip to the southwest, Zhao Xi also made great contributions. However, Zhao Xi's reward had already been given; the emperor bestowed upon him an imperial plaque.
In addition, he also commissioned the copying of a medical manual that was kept secret within the palace, as well as several rare and precious medicinal herbs.
I heard that Zhao Xi's wife is pregnant again. When Meng Yunzheng and the others leave the capital, the emperor will probably let them take a lot of tonics back with them.
