"Princess, you want to give away such a nice house?" Chun Lei was incredulous.
"Well, my parents and my brother and sister-in-law still live in that small house, and there is no room for two more servants.
Soon my father's term of office will be over, and he can live in this big house when he comes back.
If he gets promoted in the future and still lives in that small house, he won’t have any room to entertain guests or hold banquets.”
Yu Yuanzheng likes this pair of parents, brothers and sisters very much.
Their family truly loves each other.
She should cherish such a family.
"Since the emperor gave it to you, it is yours. It is up to you to give it to anyone you want." Chun Lei was no longer surprised by Yu Yuanzheng's generosity.
Yu Yuanzheng toured the entire house.
Of course, it cannot be compared with the royal palace, but compared with the current Yong'an Earl's Mansion, it is not much different.
Yu Yuanzheng looked at the sky and guessed that her brother should have gone home from school.
"Hey, let's go to Yu's house now." Yu Yuanzheng said the wind is rain.
When I arrived at my mother's house, Uncle Zhao was the first to greet me.
"The eldest aunt is back." Zhao Bo said loudly.
He knew it as soon as Yu Yuanzheng heard it.
Inform your younger brothers or sisters at home.
Sure enough, when the carriage stopped, Yu Qingsheng trotted out.
"Sister, why are you back at this time?" Yu Qingsheng had just returned from school and it was almost dark.
"Big sister." Yu Yueyin ran a little slower and came forward a step late.
She looked into the carriage and saw her eldest sister alone.
"Sister, where are our three treasures?" Yu Yueyin hadn't seen her three nephews for a long time.
I met him when I went to pay my respects to the second young master. It has been more than a month since then.
"I left home late, so I didn't bring them with me. If you want to see them, you can come to the palace anytime. Don't think too much." Yu Yuanzheng touched his sister's head.
I have grown a lot taller in the past three years.
He entered Yu's house and sat down.
"Sister, is there something wrong?" Yu Qingsheng asked.
He came home when it was almost dark, so he definitely didn't come back to see the brother and sister.
"Yes, there is something, a very happy thing." Yu Yuanzheng took out the title deed of the big house from his arms and handed it to his brother.
Yu Qingsheng took it and looked at the address: Dongcheng District.
"This is a gift from the Emperor to me, and it's my private property. We have lived in this cramped little house for three years, and it's time to move in. You can move in when you have time. From now on, this will be our house. Remember to clear out a yard for me, because I want to live here when I return to my parents' home."
Yu Yuanzheng said with a smile.
"Sister, how can this be accepted? This is a reward from the emperor to you, not to our Yu family." How could Yu Qingsheng dare to accept such a big gift?
"Okay, since it's my private property, I can give it to whoever I want. Just think of it as my advance gift to you for being the top student in your high school. When your three nephews grow up, you can just give them more betrothal gifts and dowries."
Yu Yuanzheng waved her hand indifferently.
"But, sister, this is too expensive." Yu Qingsheng still didn't dare to accept it.
"Take it. This is my gift to my parents. You can't make the decision for my parents, right?
Dad will be back in a year at most. When you get married, are you going to marry into such a small house?
With this house, our Yu family's second branch will also have face in Beijing, right?
It's easier for you to talk about relatives, and it's easier for you to find a husband."
Yu Yuanzheng had said so much, so Yu Qingsheng had no choice but to accept it. He made up his mind to work harder in the future and strive to get a good ranking in the exam, preferably to become the top scorer, so that he could give his sister more confidence in the future.
No one would say that she was the illegitimate daughter of the second wife of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion and was not worthy of the prince's mansion.
If he passes the imperial examination and becomes the top scorer, then his sister will be the top scorer's sister in the future.
"Okay, after you move into the new house, remember to invite me to your house for the housewarming party. It's getting late, I'm tired." Yu Yuanzheng was very happy to see her brother accept it.
She is very rich now, and she has no use for the house. It would be a waste to leave it alone, so she might as well let her family live in it.
——
Canglan country.
Before the Chinese New Year last year, Canglan Emperor Zhu Mingxuan inexplicably recognized a sworn sister, saying that she was his savior when he was a child.
After her husband died, she returned to the capital. Emperor Canglan was grateful for her life-saving grace and acknowledged her as his sister. He also said that her name was not nice, so he gave her the imperial surname Zhu and named her Zhu Jingshu, and directly made her the eldest princess.
This matter caused great dissatisfaction among many nobles and officials.
How could an old woman who suddenly appeared have such a high status and position?
As long as the emperor insisted, no one could do anything.
And this old woman was the third lady, Aunt Wang, who faked her death and left Wei and returned to Canglan.
She also faked her death and left Canglan that year, and it was more than 40 years later when she came back.
Their father, the emperor, had passed away long ago.
Her only closest relative is Emperor Canglan.
Moreover, she has been lurking in the Wei Dynasty and has done many things for Canglan.
She is a minister.
Zhu Mingxuan still had a conscience and had not forgotten the sacrifices his sister had made for them and their son.
As soon as she came back, she went against everyone's opinion and gave her the identity of the eldest princess. She could not directly say that she was the sister who died that year.
Because he died while blocking poison for the late emperor.
Such royal secrets cannot be made public.
Otherwise, Emperor Canglan's throne will be questioned.
The current Crown Prince Zhu Lingyun of Canglan Kingdom is already 37 years old. He now has an aunt, and his father has specifically told him that he should respect his aunt as he respected himself.
Zhu Lingyun was so angry that he wanted to drive the old woman out of the capital.
Every time he met this aunt in the palace, she always looked at him with a condescending look.
He had been the crown prince for many years, and was respected and flattered everywhere. Only his father would look upon him that way.
He discussed this matter privately with his Crown Princess.
"My father is so old, yet he still does such unreasonable things.
Even if I had saved him before, there was no need to treat him so well.
It was her greatest honor to save her father, but she took it for granted that she was being treated like a princess."
"Your Highness, is she arrogant enough to accept your gift again?"
"Oh, yes, I saw her make the leap from a fish to a dragon and she didn't even know who she was before."
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this matter. The emperor is old..." The Crown Princess didn't finish her words.
Zhu Lingyun knew what it meant as soon as he heard it.
The emperor is old and won't live long, so he should let the old woman enjoy herself for a few days. It won't be too late to deal with her later when he takes the throne.
"Yes, my beloved concubine is right. I am obsessed." Zhu Lingyun also felt that he was too petty.
She's just an old woman who doesn't quite understand respect and inferiority.
"It's good that Your Highness can think it through. Don't worry about her and just meet her less often in the future." The Crown Princess is very good at persuading people.
What the two of them didn't expect was that just a few months later, just a few days ago, the old woman's son also came.
The emperor directly conferred him the title of Prince, gave him the name Zhu Hongzhe, and granted him the treatment of a prince.
The prince never imagined that his father would love the old woman and her son so much that he would also give a favor to her.
He also asked these princes to call that man "cousin".
