The position of county princess had already been arranged, so Hesheli told Jingrou directly, although in Hesheli's eyes, Jingrou might not understand the meaning behind it.
In fact, Jingrou understood. How could she not understand? She even knew that the Qing Dynasty's conferment of titles upon county princesses and county princesses was never based on simple reasons…
The county princess appears to be the lowest rank in this category, yet she is extremely rare.
Jingrou's first reaction was not happiness, but wondering why she had been granted a title for no reason.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Seeing Jingrou's smiling face, Hesheli smiled and said, "Since it's a good thing, we should accept it. Why not take it if it's free?"
The outspoken Yigen Gioro clanswoman said, "The palace certainly has a good plan... but this is already the best possible outcome..."
Prince An nodded silently; he had no chance of being promoted. The Emperor wouldn't feel comfortable giving this honor to his sons anyway, so it would be better to give it to the young girl in his family. At least it would provide her with some security in the future.
Hesheli looked hesitantly at her three daughters-in-law who were there.
Zhao Jia smiled, "Why are you looking at us, Mother? We have no objection to this matter..."
Irgen Gioro nodded, "It's more important to give our Zhuzhu more security. As for those boys, if they want military merits or to become officials in the court in the future, they'll have to fight for it themselves! They're all grown men now, how can they rely on their fathers?"
Ma'erjia thought so too. Although there were many children in the household, her mother and the others had never mistreated any of them and treated each one equally.
However, the beads are different.
For such a delicate and gentle girl, this extra layer of protection is definitely the best thing.
As for those boys, if they have to rely on their ancestors' legacy in the future, they will be too ashamed to face anyone!
Hearing them say this, Hesheli sighed inwardly. She believed that it was good to marry a virtuous wife. Whether it was her own judgment or that of her three sons, there was no problem. They had all found good wives who were knowledgeable and reasonable.
Jingrou watched with envy, but she didn't speak, burying her head in Hesheli's arms. Perhaps because they felt Jingrou didn't understand these things, they didn't mince words when they spoke, but Jingrou understood in her heart…
This honor was probably earned in exchange for that blueprint, or perhaps it was the emperor's way of compensating his maternal grandfather.
But his maternal grandparents placed this on him, and his family members did not complain at all.
In fact, Jingrou felt that if this concern had fallen on one of her cousins, it might have been more effective...
But the emperor probably wouldn't allow it, yet both my cousins and aunts were very accommodating.
"However, the matter of sending Zhuzhu to the palace as a tutor still needs to be considered carefully..." Prince An frowned. When he first heard Hesheli say this, he was extremely unwilling.
What is the emperor planning? Why is he summoning their youngest daughter to the palace?
Perhaps being a princess's tutor is an honor in the eyes of others, but they look down on it.
They were supposed to be playmates, but in name they were more like servants, which Prince An was not happy about!
To put it bluntly, in their eyes, their own Zhuzhu is more precious than a princess.
Ma Jia frowned and tugged at Jing Rou's hand.
March sat to one side, looking at Jingrou with concern. He didn't understand anything about serving as a tutor; he only knew that once she entered the palace, he wouldn't see her for a long time!
Even Qi Jia was unsettled. "Grandma, can we refuse this? Zhu Zhu's health isn't very good right now. How can we be at ease if she's out of our sight for a whole day?" He frowned.
He is currently studying at the academy and it takes him more than a month to come back. He is never spoiled and has been living alone since he was very young. He is a qualified eldest grandson of Prince An's mansion.
He had none of the bad habits of a Manchu noble family's son, and the clothes he wore were among the most ordinary ones in the academy.
He didn't find it hard work and enjoyed his low-key life of reading. But the thought of his sister going to the palace and how the people there would serve her would certainly not be as attentive as they were at home!
The food was certainly not as soft and palatable as it was at the mansion.
He didn't care about his appetite or what he wore.
But if this thing happened to his younger sister, he would feel that it was unfair to her!
Seeing the whole family so eagerly opposing the matter, Hesheli didn't know what to say. She hadn't even said anything yet, but the whole family was already getting agitated!
"Do you think I willingly sent Zhuzhu into the palace? It's only because Imperial Physician Shen is there, making it convenient for him to see a doctor or take her pulse!" Hesheli said irritably. She was clearly thinking of her youngest daughter, so why did these people seem to think she wanted to harm her?
When Jingrou was told about entering the palace, her eyes widened, and she instinctively wanted to refuse.
She was determined to get as far away from the palace as possible!
Then, because her cousins and aunts were all talking at once, she didn't have a chance to speak. When she met Hesheli's worried eyes, Jingrou swallowed the words of refusal that were about to come out of her throat.
How could she tell her grandmother, who cared so much about her health, that she refused to go to the palace?
After Hesheli gave his reasons, everyone else was speechless.
"Actually, that's fine too. The palace has everything, so Zhuzhu shouldn't be left out..."
"No one can bully Zhuzhu, even if others dare to!"
The group comforted each other like that.
"Does Zhuzhu want to enter the palace to serve as a tutor? After entering the palace, Zhuzhu can make more friends to play with..." Hesheli tempted her.
Jingrou had already understood her grandmother's good intentions, so how could she possibly shake her head and refuse at this moment?
She nodded and then buried her head in her grandmother's arms.
Ah, it's time to enter the palace...
Then the family made the decision to let Jingrou enter the palace.
This matter was handled quickly. A few days later, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang summoned them to prepare for the matter of her becoming a tutor. She wanted to bring her into the palace to have a good look at her.
Jingrou was dressed up early in the morning, and then she rode her own horse. By the time she arrived at Cining Palace, she was already drowsy.
She once again took advantage of her grandmother's influence and sat on the soft cloth carriage.
"Is the Ancestor awake?" As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard the clear yet slightly childish voice of a boy.
It wasn't a stranger. Jingrou was startled, and her drowsiness vanished instantly.
"Your Highness, the Ancestor has risen!" the palace maid replied respectfully.
What? The Crown Prince?
