Zhao Gan arrived at the place outside the palace where notices were posted, carrying the imperial edict and a group of men.
People could come here to see the notices if they wanted to know what was happening in the imperial court.
This can be considered an alternative newspaper.
At that moment, Zhao Gan, holding the imperial edict, struck the bronze gong hanging nearby.
"Knock knock knock!"
Three gong sounds rang out, and the nearby people flocked to the scene.
Generally, gongs are only struck for important events.
"Hurry up, hurry up! The gong over there on the notice board is ringing. Something big must be about to happen."
"Wait, I'll go too..."
"The gong is ringing! Go check it out..."
In less than fifteen minutes, the notice board was surrounded by people from the city, with many who arrived late craning their necks to wait.
Jing Le and his group, who were passing by, were also drawn to the spot, causing the white tiger to stop high in the air.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Zhao Gan took out the imperial edict and said:
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that the Imperial Concubine has a daughter named Jing Le, who is of the Jing family bloodline. She was replaced by villains when she was born, but was fortunately saved by Master Liao Wu. Now that the villains have been eliminated, her identity has been restored. Later, the ancestral hall will be opened and the jade tablet will be presented... This is hereby proclaimed to the world."
The gist is that Jing Le was switched at birth by villains, but was later rescued by Master Liao Wu. Now that the villains have been eliminated, Jing Le's true identity has been restored.
Once the Imperial Observatory has calculated the auspicious date, the ancestral hall will be opened and the family genealogy will be published. This is to announce the news widely.
[Oh, Father Emperor is pretty quick. He's already found out everything and even revealed my identity. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Jing Jiayue, the female lead, for days. I should go back and check on her.]
Jing Le looked at the crowd on the ground with great interest.
Third Prince: My sister's identity has finally been revealed, that's great.
Duan Feibai: The female lead, Jing Jiayue? That's the woman, right? I'll have to go see her.
The people were shocked.
"What? Princess Anle is actually the Emperor and Consort's biological daughter? Then wasn't Princess Jiayue just an imposter?"
"She's still called Princess Jiayue, but she's just a fake. We don't even know whose daughter she is. All these years she's been occupying Princess Anle's identity and enjoying wealth and luxury."
Poor Princess Anle could only follow Master Liaowu and eat while chanting Buddhist scriptures..."
"That's right, Princess Anle is so pitiful. She was switched at such a young age by evil people. If it weren't for Master Liaowu saving her, she might have lost her life..."
"Xiaobai, let's go."
Jing Le chuckled and patted the white tiger's head, indicating that he could leave.
"Yes, Master."
The white tiger let out a soft growl and headed towards the palace.
Someone glanced up unintentionally and saw the white tiger heading towards the palace, with several figures on its back.
They immediately exclaimed, "Look! That's Princess Anle's white tiger! The white tiger has become a spirit and is actually flying in the sky!"
"What? The white tiger has become a spirit and is even flying in the sky?"
"(⊙o⊙) Wow, it's actually true! This is Princess Anle's white tiger. They flew to the palace."
“Princess Anle must be a lucky star reincarnated. Even the white tiger that has become a spirit recognizes her as its master. This is a blessing for the Great Yong.”
"The white tiger is an auspicious beast. With the white tiger protecting our Great Yong, Great Yong will surely prosper..."
Among the crowd were many book lovers, who were all moved by the sight.
Thus, from this time onward, the White Tiger became the guardian beast of Dayong, and the title of Jing Le Fu Xing (Lucky Star of Jing Le) began to gain traction.
It wasn't until the later emergence of shopping malls that he made a fortune; he was practically a walking gold mine.
Then there are the fruits and vegetables in the courtyard, which are of many varieties. Even in winter, you can eat fresh vegetables. Their value is truly a stroke of genius.
Furthermore, the crop yields that were enough to overturn people's perceptions all came from Jing Le alone.
This completely confirms the claim that he is a lucky star.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
...
Upon returning to the palace, Jing Le was summoned by Emperor Jing.
"Lele's back! Did you have fun outside?"
Emperor Jing's eyes softened, but his expression remained as cold and hard as ever, which was related to his many years in power and was something he couldn't change in a short time.
This is why the other princes and princesses were afraid of him, and even the timid concubines were afraid of him.
However, he was not one to linger in the harem. Apart from paying extra attention to the Imperial Concubine, he devoted all his energy to state affairs.
Of course, Jing Le was not afraid of him at all.
Then he looked at Eunuch Xu and said, "Prepare the meal."
"Yes, this servant will go right away."
Eunuch Xu bowed and withdrew.
Jing Le threw herself into Emperor Jing's arms, beaming and coquettishly saying, "Father, I missed you so much! It was so much fun outside. I'll take you with me next time."
“Let’s go to my territory. I guarantee Father Emperor will have so much fun he won’t want to go back to the palace.”
She hadn't forgotten why she came.
"Since I've been working so hard, I'll make a request later. I hope Father will grant it."
Emperor Jing: So you had an ulterior motive for acting cute and charming like this. Humph, it's not impossible for me to agree, as long as you act cute and charming more often in the future.
Aside from experiencing the joys of family life with his daughter Jing Le, his relationship with his other sons and daughters was much weaker.
The higher you climb, the colder it gets – this is a perfect example.
"Alright, alright, next time Lele will definitely take me with her. It's been so many years since Father Emperor has had a proper stroll outside the palace."
Emperor Jing tapped Jing Le's little nose and smiled indulgently.
"Father, I've built a shopping mall in the west of the city. Everything is ready, and we're just waiting to choose a date to open. Father, could you please give it a name?"
[Bestowed by the Emperor himself, and written in his own hand, this is sure to attract attention.]
[When we make money, we can fill Father Emperor's treasury.]
[It's all because my father, the emperor, is too poor. But thankfully, he has me, his money-making expert.]
Jing Le inwardly cursed Emperor Jing, but there was nothing she could do; she already knew perfectly well how much the national treasury was in the plot summary.
In addition to the gifts he had received during the Emperor's birthday celebration, Emperor Jing gave them all to him and also added a lot of things from his private treasury.
The disaster relief funds were the same batch that had been lost ten years ago, which they had found themselves.
Otherwise, Emperor Jing would have been worried about the empty treasury long ago.
Emperor Jing's ears turned red upon hearing this; he was probably the first emperor in history to treat someone like this.
Who would have thought that even an emperor could be poor?
It can only be said that Emperor Jing was indeed a wise ruler, not the kind of monarch who only cared about his own enjoyment.
This is a blessing for the people, and also a blessing for the Great Yong Dynasty.
Jing Le, of course, had to help.
"Alright, leave this matter to Father. Let's set the opening date for three days from now; it's an auspicious day."
Three days later and ten days later were both auspicious days determined by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.
Then he added:
"Also, Father has already found out Lele's true identity. You've suffered these past few years."
"The ceremony for recognizing one's ancestors has also been scheduled, and ten days from now is an auspicious day; the timing is just right."
Jing Le laughed heartily: "Yes, yes, I'll do whatever Father Emperor says."
