"I have drafted an edict to confer upon you the title Princess Zhaoyang and to establish a princess's residence for you."
This is also what the Queen meant.
Xu Zhiyi became a princess from a concubine. Although her mother-in-law's outward attitude towards her would certainly change, she would inevitably look down on her in her heart.
With a princess's mansion, she can marry a prince consort and does not have to live with her parents-in-law, thus ensuring her daughter's greatest happiness.
After all, she had already given birth to three children, and the queen didn't want to forcibly demolish them.
This is the only way I can protect her, and I hope she can live a happier life.
If you like Lu Yanli, then continue to be together. If you don’t like him, you can also keep a lover.
However, if Lu Yanli becomes a son-in-law, he will not be able to have concubines in the future, and the military power in his hands will also be reduced. I wonder if he will agree.
The emperor gave Jiang Dehai a look.
Jiang Dehai quickly stepped forward and said:
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, declares that Kerou is my daughter, who later lived among the common people. Her other name is Xu Zhiyi. She is well-educated and well-mannered, of a gentle and docile disposition, and of graceful and elegant demeanor. I hereby confer the title Princess Zhaoyang upon her, and grant her the Princess's Residence. I decree this."
The shrill voice woke Nian Nian up immediately. She opened her eyes and saw many strangers, and burst into tears.
There was a pool of tears in the little girl's eyes, and her little hands were tightly grasping the corner of Lu Yanli's clothes. Lu Yanli hugged her tightly with heartache and patted her back gently to comfort her.
Jiang Dehai looked at Nian Nian awkwardly. She looked exactly like Princess Ke Rou back then. He just couldn't stand her shrill voice.
The emperor also noticed Nian Nian at this moment, and suddenly it seemed as if he was brought back to sixteen years ago, when Ke Rou was also such a small ball.
The majesty of the emperor on her face was lessened a little. Whenever she saw him Nian Nian, she would open her arms to him in a familiar manner, ready to be hugged by him.
Lu Yanli quickly pushed her little hand back.
Xu Zhiyi frowned beside her. Because she was so cute, many people wanted to hug her when they saw her.
Nian Nian got used to it and was no longer shy. She would even hug someone with a good face.
The emperor was surprised. They were relatives of different generations. Seeing such a well-behaved New Year picture doll, he also became interested in teasing it.
She actually took the child from Lu Yanli's arms.
The child's body was full of the fragrance of milk, and he had shallow dimples when he smiled. The emperor's heart softened when he saw it.
Niannian leaned on the emperor's chest and turned her face to look at everyone.
The emperor loved this sense of equality very much. People around him either respected him or were afraid of him. Even the queen sometimes would not express her emotions directly.
At this moment, he felt a little peaceful in his heart.
Lu Yanli seized the opportunity, ran to Xu Zhiyi's side, and secretly told her the whole cause and effect, fearing that she would think too much, feel upset, and run away again.
No, she doesn't have to run away now. She can just set up her own business and keep a lover.
The thought of this possibility made him extremely angry. This was something that could never happen.
So everything must be eliminated before it happens.
Xu Zhiyi didn't interrupt him and listened to him quietly.
In Lu Yanli's eyes, he could clearly see that he was waiting to see when you would die.
She must be overthinking it. I must try hard tonight to make her forget it.
Jiang Dehai watched the emperor playing with Nian Nian and muttered to himself, this incredible wealth has fallen on one person again.
Your Majesty hasn't held a child like this for many years.
Sure enough, the emperor thought that he owed Ke Rou for so many years and that what he had done was too little to make up for it, so he ordered Jiang Dehai to select some rewards and send them to Xu Zhiyi.
He also issued another decree to deduct Princess Changle's salary for three months. As soon as the decree was issued, the news spread throughout the palace.
The Queen's only daughter was found and Princess Changle was punished. There are many people in the palace who can change their attitude according to the situation.
It's just that she has been in a high position over the years and is not the one being manipulated.
Naturally, you cannot perceive the pain of others.
Now that I am in a low position, I feel that others look at me with mockery.
Everything was heading towards the worst possible outcome that Changle had imagined. Not only did Lu Yanli lose the favor of his father, the emperor, and his mother, but he also lost the favor of her.
She collapsed on the bed, refusing to move. She had done nothing wrong. She had no bad intentions today. She just wanted to see what Xu Zhiyi looked like.
She suddenly shuddered and jumped up from the bed.
The Queen Mother was the most soft-hearted, so she might as well go and beg her. Although the Queen Mother was not her biological mother, she had raised her for sixteen years, so she still had some feelings for her.
She stood up and put on simple clothes, and only wore the simplest hairpin she had. She looked in the mirror and felt that her face was too rosy.
She took the white powder and applied it on her face until her complexion looked pale. Then she felt that her lips were also pink, so she added some powder to her lips as well.
He rushed out of the palace to find his mother, but because of the Queen's oral order, he simply informed her and no one was guarding the door.
She went out easily.
Xiao Cui was hesitant to speak, feeling that Princess Changle was going to do something stupid again.
In Yiku Palace, they were having dinner.
Today is the day for recognizing relatives. The Queen originally planned to keep Xu Zhiyi in the palace, but she didn't know that there were two little grandsons outside the palace. If they couldn't see their mother at night, they would definitely make a fuss.
He agreed to let her leave the palace, but since he had just recognized her, he was reluctant to let her go, so he prepared dinner in Yiku Palace and prepared to have a reunion dinner.
The imperial kitchen had naturally heard the whole story and prepared a sumptuous feast, eighteen dishes in total, including lotus fish feast, lamb trotters and bamboo shoots, eight-treasure venison, crystal trotter feet, Jinling meatballs, and roasted deer...
