Chapter 53 Princess
The personal eunuch no longer dared to let go of the emperor's hand, as he could feel the emperor's heavy breathing.
The emperor felt like he was almost suffocating! If that were true... then the people of Canglan would not have a single meal a day, would go hungry, and would even eat their own children!
There was an earthquake in the south, and the people were suffering. The court was almost bankrupt, but I couldn't solve any major problems. I often asked the heavens, "Is it really because I am unworthy of my position that I am punishing my own people?"
Now it's all good! We have the second wife of the Bao family! We have...
"Bang!"
"emperor!"
Amid the eunuchs' exclamations, the emperor fainted!
......
The imperial physician arrived soon and the emperor slowly woke up.
Bao Taozi was waiting outside the palace. After all, it was because of her that the emperor fainted, and the eunuchs did not dare to let her go.
"Where is the young lady from the Bao family! Ahem..." Could it be a dream?
Li Liangfu, the personal eunuch, stepped forward quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the young lady is waiting outside. She must be very nervous right now. Does Your Majesty want to summon her?" Since the young lady is serving the country and the people, his family has to speak up for her.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and was helped up by Li Liangfu. He leaned against the bed and said, "Call her in."
Bao Taozi was brought in by Li Liangfu.
"Your Highness." He bowed politely.
The emperor smiled and said, "But I frightened you."
"Your Majesty, I was frightened. But I am not afraid. Your Majesty will not blame me for exhausting himself for the people."
"You've said all the good and bad things, haha. You said you'd get a yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu. I'll be waiting for you to submit your report to me in three months."
"yes."
The emperor took the tea, took a sip, and asked, "Is there anything you would like?"
Bao Taozi became excited when he heard this.
She quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I hope you will allow me to have my own private residence so that I can quietly think about things that will benefit the people of the world."
Setting up a separate residence does not just mean moving out, it also means severing ties with the Prime Minister.
"Are you threatening me?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. He didn't know that the second daughter of the prime minister's family hated the prime minister's mansion so much. It was probably because the mistress of the mansion was unkind.
"I dare not. This is my greatest wish. In the whole world, only Your Majesty can help me fulfill my wish. Your Majesty asked me, and I answered. I dare not lie."
The hall was silent for a long time, with only the sound of the emperor sipping tea.
"Okay, I understand. I will confer upon you the title of Princess Duo Luo of the fourth rank and grant you a princess's mansion." Princess Duo Luo is the emperor's adopted daughter.
This was a pleasant surprise! It was understandable. After all, there was no such thing as a female official now, and the princess was reluctant to send her, a talented person, to her fiefdom. A princess is great. Although she is only a fourth-rank official, she is essentially a member of the royal family. If the prime minister is not afraid of death, he can chase her and call her his daughter.
"Your Majesty, I thank you!" Bao Taozi thanked him.
Li Liangfu said with a smile, "Your Highness, I have to change your address."
Bao Taozi acted extremely happy and said, "Duo Luo thanks the emperor!"
The emperor also laughed and personally got down from the bed to help Bao Taozi up.
"As a princess, you must work hard for the people of Canglan Country!"
"Don't worry, Dora."
It turns out that the emperor has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
"I will order someone to give you a few acres of land, and you can try to cultivate it."
"Thank you, Father!"
......
After leaving the palace, Bao Taozi changed her identity. The emperor gave her a eunuch and a palace maid. Together with the three palace maids she already had, she became Princess Duoluo.
Follow the eunuch to the princess's mansion bestowed by the emperor. The official decree will be issued after tomorrow's morning court session.
The princess's mansion is not big, not even as big as the prime minister's mansion, but it is small and exquisite.
The eunuch bestowed by the emperor was named Xiao Lianzi, and was Li Liangfu's adopted son.
"Princess, the emperor's reward will be given tomorrow. Do you want to pack up first or go back to the Sun Mansion today?" Xiao Lianzi asked respectfully.
"Just stay here. Clean up my room first, then call everyone to gather outside my room."
"promise!"
It was quite quick for five people to clean a room, and in a short while, the room was tidy and clean.
Everyone also arrived at Bao Taozi's door, waiting to be lectured.
"Yuangungun, these people are all personal servants. Do you have any loyalty potions or something like that?"
[The system doesn't have this kind of drug. The system won't use drugs to control a living person.]
Huh? This actually made Bao Taozi look at the system with a new perspective.
Forget it, if there is no such thing, then there is no such thing.
"You were given to me by my father. I only expect one thing from you: loyalty. However, if you are working for my father, you don't need to hide it; just be open and honest. There is nothing else to ask. If you do well, I will not treat you unfairly. Xiao Lianzi will also serve as the housekeeper in the future, and Hongyu will be in charge of all the palace maids. Is there any problem?"
"Your Highness, no!"
Bao Taozi waved his hand with satisfaction, dismissed everyone, and left only Hongyu to serve.
Zhenzhu looked at Hongyu's back, feeling resentful. She was just a maid arranged by the Sun Mansion. Why did she snatch her position as a personal servant?
[Notice: Pearl's loyalty has decreased.]
The system's voice made Bao Taozi stunned for a second, and it also had a function.
[That's a must. Although we can't control it, we can monitor and remind you! ]
That's pretty good.
However, it's not difficult for me to understand Pearl. After all, she has been with me for ten years, and her position was taken away by someone who showed up halfway. I must be dissatisfied. It seems that I can get some psychological counseling when I have time. I'm not afraid that she will harm me, but I'm afraid that she will harm my life.
......
The next day, when Bao Taozi woke up, Hongyu began to dress up Bao Taozi, because today she had to receive an imperial decree.
The wide-sleeved tunic was embroidered with a pattern of five phoenixes rising to the sky. The pattern on the gauze dress was woven with dark gold thread. Tiny, round rose quartz and tiger-eye stones adorned each phoenix feather. The beads and tassels twinkled like stars, radiant as flowing clouds, exuding an enchanting royal elegance. A length of violet gauze, several feet long, was draped around her arm, securely fastened with gold and jade inlays.
She does have a bit of a princess's demeanor.
Xiao Lianzi came over and said.
"Your Highness, the palace has sent someone to announce the decree!"
Supported by Hongyu, he went to the gate of the princess's mansion.
The eunuch who announced the decree was waiting at the door with a smile on his face. When he saw Bao Taozi coming out, he said, "The emperor has issued an order! Kneel down and listen!"
Bao Taozi and the surrounding civilians all knelt down.
"Under the Imperial Court, the books are praised as Li Jiang, and the poems are beautiful and gorgeous. I think that during the reign of Junzhe, the virtue of Su Yong was already valued. Some granted her a good place to show the dignity of the Emperor's son; some bestowed her with a good name. This is to show the nobility of the Emperor's daughter, which is based on the order of the first order, not a personal favor. The Emperor's daughter is Bao Taozi, gentle and gifted, with a brilliant talent. Her family is harmonious and she always follows the descriptions of the history books. Her carriage and clothes are modest, and she has been favored by the emperor since ancient times. Moreover, she wears a ring of festival, and the fragrance of orchids and hyacinths spreads. This is a good omen for the relatives and glorifies the teachings of our palace. Now, she is named Princess Duo Luo to show her affection. With brocade before her, she should not forget the rules of the group training; with pearls and jade, she is adorned with a dazzling appearance. Protect this special honor and set a higher example. I decree!"
In the distance, the prime minister's face was distorted and he glared at the person who received the order.
