As soon as Zheng Yi closed the study door, Old Madam Zheng could no longer bear it.
"Dad, Mom, please listen to me first."
Zheng Yi rubbed his brows, sighed and said, "It happened very suddenly."
"Brother Zhao met with the Queen Mother a few days ago. Both the Queen Mother and the Emperor agreed to let Brother Zhao ascend the throne."
Master Zheng stroked his beard and said, "That's understandable. After all, Zhao... the new emperor also has royal blood."
Madam Zheng nodded. She could figure this out.
only……
"How did you become the Prince Yi?"
So fast? Judging from the house being ransacked, it must have been recently raided.
"Before this, I had sworn brotherhood with Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao was grateful to me for saving his name, and even after ascending the throne, he still treated me as his brother."
Master Zheng then asked, "Who issued the decree to make you king?"
"The Queen Mother and the Emperor are together."
When the three members of the Zheng family said this, they all looked solemn.
Old Lady Zheng said hesitantly, "Yier, although you are the first prince of a different surname in this dynasty and have a noble status, why do I feel..."
I feel so uneasy.
She knew that her son was proficient in both literature and military strategy since childhood.
However, because their family had been in business for generations, the son was not interested in being a civil servant, so he decided to try his luck on the battlefield.
They only have one daughter and one son, so naturally they are reluctant to let them go.
But my son has been very stubborn since he was young. He always does what he says and never listens to anyone else.
To say that this child is unfilial is not true.
He just couldn't get close to them, and because he had traveled with his master for several years when he was young, he had his own personality.
Zheng Yi said, "Mother, don't worry. The Emperor and the Queen Mother treat me well..."
Zheng Yi didn't say anything else. After all, his parents were not stupid and they both knew what a prince of a different surname represented.
"What about those two kids?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Mrs. Zheng asked again without giving up.
"be mine."
Having said this, Zheng Yi stood up, bowed to Madam Zheng and Master Zheng, and said, "I hope my parents will not blame me for hiding this."
Mrs. Zheng was reluctant to let her son set the rules, so she quickly agreed.
Now Madam Zheng and Mr. Zheng have given up hope and can only slowly accept the two children.
But neither of them noticed the figure walking away not far away outside the study.
Zheng Yi glanced in that direction through the window and sneered.
Within a few days, the news that the new emperor Zhao Dexiu ascended the throne and the empress dowager was ruling the country from behind the scenes spread to every corner of the Daqi Dynasty.
Of course, Jin'an City was the first to receive the news.
This day is also the day when Hao Zhailai Restaurant and Ping'an Medical Clinic reopened.
Jin'an City returned to its former bustle.
Of course, the busiest place is definitely Hao Zai Lai Noodle House.
Hao Zai Lai Noodle House is bustling, not only because their noodles are delicious, but also because Hao Zai Lai Noodle House is always inexplicably closed.
This aroused people's rebellious psychology, so as soon as they heard that the restaurant was opening, they all went to try the delicious food.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Hao Zai Lai Noodle House, although located in Qionghua Lane, has cheap prices.
Xia Manni was busy collecting money, while Zhang Cuiling and Aunt Qiao were both busy in the kitchen and couldn't spare any time.
It is said that Aunt Qiao's husband was assigned to the prince's mansion because of the end of the war.
Xia Manni only heard Aunt Qiao say something about whether it was a prince of a different surname or Prince Yi, and she didn't listen carefully.
It was not only Aunt Qiao's family who were reunited. As soon as they returned to Jin'an City yesterday, a strange young man came to the store.
Aunt Qiao didn't know him, so she asked directly who he was looking for.
The young man said he was looking for Liu Miaoyan.
Aunt Qiao was worried that the Liu family was looking for someone, so she hurried out to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, the young man looked familiar.
It was not until the other party called her Madam Xia that Xia Manni realized that this was the boy surnamed Mu.
Later, Xia Manni heard him say that he was rescued by someone.
Currently working at that man's house, Xia Manni saw that Mu Tou's attire was not that of an ordinary guard, so she didn't ask any more questions.
She took the wood to the backyard to find Liu Miaoyan. At that time, Liu Miaoyan, Aunt Qiao and Zhang Cuiling were anxiously looking for a place to hide people.
Unexpectedly, when the two met, they both started crying.
Xia Manni hurriedly took away Sister Cuiling and Aunt Qiao who wanted to hit someone, and the three of them secretly listened from the side.
Xia Manni only heard that no prince would make the decision and that she would go to the Liu Mansion to propose marriage.
When Brother Mu left, he gave Xia Manni fifty taels of silver and asked her to take care of Liu Miaoyan.
Xia Manni did not refuse. She took the silver and turned to give it to Liu Miaoyan.
When the children arrived in Jin'an City, their eldest brother took them to the academy.
Everything seems to be back on track, but an invisible conspiracy is approaching the Hao Zai Lai Restaurant.
"Hey, have you heard? The emperor will hold his coronation ceremony tomorrow."
"I heard that the newly appointed Prince Yi also made an appearance."
"What is the relationship between the new emperor and the empress dowager?"
"We are a royal family, so our ancestors are one family."
"What about our Prince Yi? You should know that he is the only prince we have now, and also the only prince with a different surname."
"Speaking of this Prince Yi, I haven't heard much about him. I only know his name is Zheng Yi."
"I haven't heard of this name much in Jin'an City."
"It's said that this person is rich and noble. Look, he doesn't have the same surname as the emperor, but he can still be named a prince of a different surname."
Everyone nodded, it was indeed a tremendous fortune that fell from the sky.
"I heard that they seem to be a small business family in Jin'an City. I heard that they are some distant relatives of Prefect Zheng."
"I also heard that this Prince Yi has no wife at home, only a son and a daughter."
"How could a family that does business produce a high-ranking official?"
"Why can't business produce high-ranking officials?"
"Yes, haven't you heard? The first decree issued by the new emperor is to hold the imperial examination next year."
"Yes, it's two years earlier than usual."
"Not only that, they also specifically stated that anyone from any background, be it scholar, farmer, artisan, or merchant, could participate, and even lowered the age limit to just twelve."
"Ah? There's such a good thing? Where did you see it?"
While Xia Manni was calculating the bill, she listened to the diners chatting about all sorts of things.
She didn't think these diners were talking nonsense. After all, information was most circulated in the market.
But the truth still needs to be further clarified.
At first, Xia Manni was listening to them talking about the gossip about the prince of a different surname and the new emperor. It turned out that the prince of a different surname was named Zheng.
He is actually a relative of Prefect Zheng?
Then Mrs. Zheng should know him too?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng was indeed a little surprised. In the past, she would come to see them as soon as they returned to Jin'an City.
Who knew that as I was listening, I heard another explosive news!
