Chapter 152 Women can also stand on their own!

"I know what you are talking about. However, when the rebels were rampant and the imperial city was in danger, I had no one to help me. Only the Princess Protector of the Nation stepped forward and was willing to take risks alone. With her weak body, she broke through the siege and asked for reinforcements for me. For such a feat, doesn't she deserve the title of 'Princess Protector of the Nation'?" Although the emperor's voice was weak, it was still loud.

In addition to Minglan being named the Princess Protector of the Nation, Gu Tingye was named the General of the Auxiliary Nation for his meritorious service in rescuing Prince Yong by shooting him with an arrow; Lin Yunting had been guarding bravely all along, and later captured Prince Yong's two sons for his meritorious service, so he was named the Upper Guardian and was given the position of the Right Deputy Commander of the Guardian Army; Zheng Xiao was given the position of the Left Deputy Commander of the Guardian Army; although Yang Huaide had made mistakes in commanding the army, he still fought bravely against the enemy despite his serious injuries, and he and the reinforcements Together they defeated the rebels and retained his position as the commander of the imperial guards...

Minglan left the Daqing Palace with the imperial edict in her hand. The bloodstains on the square in front of the palace that had been all over the ground that day had long since disappeared, as if everything had turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated in the dust of history. Only the palace complex in front of her remained, still dazzling and magnificent, demonstrating the supreme majesty of imperial power and the mellow beauty of time.

The sun shines on the empty square in front of the palace. Every stone slab seems to be coated with a soft golden glow, which forms a sharp contrast with the faintly discernible but cleverly covered collision marks on the Daqing Gate in the distance, as if it is a subtle mark of the interweaving of history and reality, reminding the endless interweaving of the past and the future.

Minglan looked up at the sky, the blue sky was clear, and the breeze was blowing on her face, making her feel relaxed and happy, as if all the worries and heaviness disappeared with the spring breeze. It was a good time for spring. Minglan exhaled lightly, adjusted her clothes, and walked forward with a more leisurely pace.

When Minglan arrived at the Sheng Mansion in the princess' sedan chair, everyone in the Sheng Mansion was already waiting in front of the gate. When Minglan got off the sedan chair, everyone shouted "Welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess", which startled her and made her stagger and almost fall down. Fortunately, she steadied herself. After Minglan got off the sedan chair, she found that there were people standing outside the doors of several mansions near the Sheng Mansion to watch the excitement. No wonder the cheers were so loud.

Minglan was surrounded by people and went back to the mansion.

"Sixth sister, I have to call you Her Royal Highness the Princess from now on. I will have a princess sister in the future, which will make my friends jealous enough!" Since the news of Minglan's conferment of the title of princess came, Chang Feng was the most excited, except Chang Zhang.

"Third brother, please don't embarrass me. In our own house, there is no need to call me Princess. Just call me Sixth Sister as usual, otherwise I will get used to it." Minglan was embarrassed by Changfeng's words, and was afraid that her family would be alienated from her. "

That's right, Xiaoliu is Princess outside, and she is still Xiaoliu in our family. Haha, I have someone to support me in the future." Rulan continued Minglan's words.

Ruolan spoke frankly, but Wang Ruofu was frightened. She tried hard to wink at Ruolan, but Ruolan ignored her. She poked Ruolan again, and Ruolan turned around and looked at her with a pout, "Mother, why do you always poke me?"

Wang Ruofu was almost furious at her little daughter's words. She gave everyone an awkward smile and then began to explain, "Ming girl... Minglan is already a princess. Ruolan, you are not allowed to call her "Xiao Liu Xiao Liu" anymore. It's very rude." After saying that, she did not forget to glare at Ruolan.

Minglan stopped and turned to the eldest lady, "Mother calls me Ming girl, so just call me Ming girl. Fifth sister likes to call me Xiaoliu, so call me Xiaoliu." Looking around, she said, "Don't be estranged from me. Whether I have the title of princess or not, I am still the sixth daughter of the Sheng family. The Sheng family raised me. There is no dragon in the sky, and there is no earthly man under foot. My heart for you will not change. You all are the same. I don't want any barriers either. I'm very close to you all."

The old lady laughed after hearing Minglan's words. She took Minglan's hand and said, "Okay, okay, listen to Ming girl. Don't be so polite at home. Your Highness is the eldest princess, your Highness is the youngest princess. It's not good to be distant. Ming girl is still the sixth lady of our house."

Everyone agreed, and the atmosphere became lively again. Mingxi walked and walked, slowly falling behind a few steps, her eyes gently following Minglan in her gorgeous palace dress. She was so bright and beautiful that she was like the brightest light in the morning light. Mingxi thought to herself: In this life, after going through hardships and escaping death, the credit for saving the car was finally firmly placed on Minglan's head. Why should a woman be bound by those illusory reputations? If she can stand proudly in front of everyone with her own strength, why should she rely on others? A woman can also stand on her own!

In the mansion of Duke Qi, Princess Pingning also received the news that Minglan was canonized as the "Princess Protector of the Country". She sat on a pearwood chair with intricate carvings, her posture was dignified but she could not hide her turbulent emotions. Her eyes shuttled between the exquisite furnishings in the room, her expression unclear.

At first, Princess Pingning had some contempt and disdain for Minglan, the little concubine of the Sheng family. She always felt that she was of humble origin and could not match the noble status of her own son, the Duke of Qiheng. So she wanted to cut off Yuanruo's feelings for her, but she also knew in her heart that it was not that the girl was not good enough, but that she was inferior in family background.

Later, it was Minglan who obtained the imperial decree to save their family. The girl's intelligence and wisdom made her change greatly. Minglan was well-mannered and knew the general situation. If Yuanruo married her as a clan wife, the Qi family would prosper. But just a few days later, the girl had become a princess who protected the country.

Princess Pingning felt mixed emotions. She was genuinely happy and proud of Minglan's achievements, but she also felt a little inferior. Although she was a princess, her title came from the protection of her ancestors, while Minglan won such an honor all by herself. Her tenacity and talent made her not have to bow down to anyone. Princess Pingning felt a little relieved and comforted. She realized that Minglan's becoming a princess was the greatest blessing for the Qi family, and she no longer had to worry about the Qi family being left without protection in the future. The Qi family could rest assured for three generations.

…

Minglan looked at Rong Feiyan who was still walking unsteadily in front of her, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten something.

"Feiyan, have you not sent a letter to Rong Changbo saying that you are in our house?"

Facing Minglan's sudden question, Rong Feiyan's smiling face suddenly changed, and she covered her mouth in annoyance. She had been so happy in Sheng Mansion these days that she forgot to report her safety to her father.

Rong Feiyan no longer cared about congratulating Minglan on being canonized as a princess, and hurriedly asked Minglan for help to let Sheng's servant go to Rong Changbo's house to send a message.
