Chapter 557: The title of Princess, I’ll owe her for now
Xuanyuan Jin raised his head and looked at Emperor Tianxi, asking in confusion, "Father, I don't understand. The Wealth Rat can find gold and jade veins, and can even find treasures buried underground. Why would you leave the Wealth Rat to Tang Bao?"
If the Rat of Wealth was not related to the imperial court's purse, Xuanyuan Jin would not have revealed all his cards at once.
In fact, given his identity, it is not wise to help Xiao Tangbao keep the Wealth Rat.
Although he is the emperor's son, he is not his only son.
Emperors have always been suspicious, and his actions were a major violation of the royal family's taboo.
However, seeing that Xiao Tangbao liked the Money Rat, he couldn't help but do it.
Fortunately, Emperor Tianxi was not angry about this.
"The gold and jade veins are there, and they can't escape. It's just a matter of time." Emperor Tianxi said meaningfully, "Unless the Su family has rebellious intentions and wants to secretly search for and mine the veins."
"Absolutely not!" Xuanyuan Jin straightened his expression and said solemnly, "The Su family is honest and kind, benefiting their neighbors. They are all loyal and filial people! If the Su family had any rebellious intentions, they would not have rushed to report the discovery of the gold mine in the mountains to the authorities!"
"Jin'er, was the gold mine really discovered by the Su family?" Emperor Tianxi asked meaningfully.
Xuanyuan Jin, "..."
Feeling a little guilty.
Then, he became confident again.
If Tang Bao had not initially discovered the gold nugget, he would not have followed the clues and sent people to find the gold mine.
Therefore, although the gold mine was not discovered directly, it was indirectly discovered by the Su family.
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Jin said forcefully, "There is a cause for every effect!"
Emperor Tianxi had no way of refutating this statement.
In particular, when thinking of the little girl from the Su family's incredible luck, Emperor Tianxi could only rub his nose.
"You are wholeheartedly loyal to the Su family." Emperor Tianxi said unhappily.
People say girls are extroverts, but he thinks boys are extroverts!
This son is now completely focused on that little girl!
After hearing what Emperor Tianxi said, Xuanyuan Jin said stubbornly, "I dare not. I am only speaking the truth!"
Emperor Tianxi suddenly felt depressed when he saw his son like this.
"Well, the little girl from the Su family saved my father after all. My father will confer upon her the title of Princess of Fude County." Emperor Tianxi said, "Since these two things on the table were given to you by the little girl, you can keep them for yourself."
Emperor Tianxi also revealed his trump card.
Xuanyuan Jin didn't pay any attention to what Emperor Tianxi said next.
With a look of surprise, he asked, "Just the county lady?"
His tone was full of disgust and dissatisfaction.
This is too low!
Emperor Tianxi glared, "Could it be that he wants to make her a princess?"
Xuanyuan Jin pursed his lips and said, "Back then, that person from the Zheng family was promoted three levels just for presenting two cranes. Now Tang Bao has saved my father twice, but she has only been promoted to the rank of County Lord. Could it be that my father's life is in jeopardy..."
Xuanyuan Jin stopped talking at this point.
Although he didn't say anything else, the following words are self-evident.
Emperor Tianxi's life was not worth as much as two cranes.
Emperor Tianxi's face immediately turned dark.
It would have been better if Xuanyuan Jin didn't mention the two cranes. As soon as he mentioned the two cranes, Emperor Tianxi got angry.
"Now you know how to bargain!" Emperor Tianxi said with a sullen face, "Why don't you think about how old she is? How many princesses are there in the entire Great Yan? Which one of them wasn't personally conferred upon the prince when he came of age?"
Emperor Tianxi paused at this point and continued, "What's more, her father is a farmer and her mother is a sixth-rank Anren. If she is canonized as a princess, does that mean her family will have to pay their respects to her all day long?"
Xuanyuan Jin listened to what Emperor Tianxi said, but was still not convinced.
With an air of insisting on reason, he said, "Father, the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. When you are at home, there is naturally no need to pay attention to the rank of the family, nor is there any need for the Su family to greet Tang Bao. Tang Bao is now the village chief, and he has never acted like a village chief."
Not only has it never been placed in the Su family, it has never been placed in the entire Daliushu Village.
Not only Xiao Tangbao is like this, but also Old Lady Su, a sixth-rank Anren.
After Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking, he muttered something under his breath.
"Actually, the princess's rank isn't high either."
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Emperor Tianxi to hear.
Emperor Tianxi, "..."
This son is becoming more and more stubborn.
"In that case, father, please adopt her as your goddaughter and make her the princess of the current dynasty!" Emperor Tianxi said simply.
Xuanyuan Jin, "...then forget it. Princess is actually not bad, as long as she has a title and a fiefdom."
Emperor Tianxi, "..."
I almost laughed out loud.
There are princesses with titles, but there are no princesses with fiefdoms in the entire Dayan.
Even princesses do not all have fiefdoms.
Throughout the ages, only a few extremely favored princesses were granted fiefdoms.
The vast majority of other princesses were merely given titles.
"You know how to apply what you have learned and you keep asking for more! Not only do you bargain, but you also ask for an exorbitant price!" Emperor Tianxi said unhappily.
Xuanyuan Jin, "..."
A look of dissatisfaction.
He is not asking for too much!
He also felt that the little girl was wronged!
As soon as Emperor Tianxi saw his son's expression, he guessed what he was thinking.
I couldn't help but say, "I originally thought you were cautious and didn't want the little girl to attract too much attention. Now it seems that just a title has made you lose your vigilance!"
"Why don't you think about this? If she, a little country girl, suddenly became a princess of the current dynasty, and the first princess in history to have a fiefdom, I'm afraid all the nobles would look at her."
Xuanyuan Jin, "..."
I was shocked.
He didn't think too much of anyone and noticed the little girl.
He was still too young and didn't have enough strength to protect the little girl.
Although Father can, but...
Although the daughters of the royal family are favored by heaven, they have too many frustrations when it comes to marriage.
If you enjoy the royal favor, you must contribute to the stability of the country.
No! He absolutely cannot let Tang Bao become a victim of power exchange!
I have to say that Xuanyuan Jin and Xiao Tangbao think alike.
Because of this, neither of them was willing to have Emperor Tianxi recognize Xiao Tangbao as his goddaughter.
How can the royal food be so delicious?
If you are not careful, you can choke someone to death!
At this time, Emperor Tianxi compromised and said, "Forget it, wait until she reaches the age of marriage, then I will confer the title of Princess on her. For now, let's just keep it in arrears."
A trace of surprise appeared on Xuanyuan Jin's little face.
He didn't expect that this rank of canonization was still owed.
However, owing something is better than having nothing.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Xuanyuan Jin said immediately, "Your Majesty's words are as good as gold. I, your son, thank you on behalf of Tang Bao!"
After saying this, he bowed respectfully to Emperor Tianxi to express his gratitude.
Emperor Tianxi glanced at his son.
"Humph! Could it be that Father will break his promise?"
How could he not see that his son was a little petty?
Isn’t it just because you’re afraid that he won’t fulfill his promise in the future?
Brat! I haven't seen you for a few years, and your mind has wandered to the horizon!
