Madam Liu reminded, "Princess, it would be better to ask for the imperial decree for your mother as soon as possible."
Song Jinxiu looked at her and motioned for her to go.
Madam Liu Nenggan leaned forward and whispered, "Your mother's remarriage is a family affair, but some people are restless and like to gossip about it. It would be better to ask for the imperial decree as soon as possible.
Now that your mother has been granted an imperial decree, she has been recognized by His Majesty, and other people's comments will naturally be restrained, which is good for both the princess and your mother.
As for going to the palace to express gratitude, it is really inconvenient for your mother, so your children can do it for you. ”
Song Jinxiu nodded, she was the one who had not considered it enough.
"Okay, I understand."
She looked at Mrs. Liu Nenggan and smiled:
"You are the wife of Liu Nenggan, the governor of Kunzhou, right? Come to my house when you are free. My mother doesn't know anyone in the capital and has no one to talk to. I think you are also from Kunzhou, and she should be very happy to meet you."
Madam Liu smiled and said, "That's great. If your mother doesn't mind me being annoying, I will go and bother you."
"Oh, oh, Princess Kangle, I know you are filial, but no matter how filial you are, you can't let a lady of noble title visit a man who was abandoned and remarried, right?" A sharp voice sounded behind her.
Song Jinxiu frowned and looked over. The one who was speaking was the eldest lady of the Sima family. Next to her was the second lady of the Zhenguo Mansion, Su, who looked like she was enjoying the show. She was also Su Mo's second aunt.
Following behind them were those who had donated money to the Grand Princess's Mansion.
These people are really lingering around. It seems we can't be lenient towards them.
Madam Su Er said, "That's right. Your mother doesn't have an imperial decree. How can an abandoned woman like you have the nerve to entertain guests at home?"
Song Jinxiu narrowed her eyes. Su Mo’s second aunt, right? You can tell at first glance that he is a mean person.
The old lady of the Marquis of Yang Mansion, supported by Chen Yaer, came over. She glanced at Song Jinxiu, and said earnestly, with the look of an old noble lecturing a younger generation:
"Princess Kangle, please don't blame me for speaking harshly. As the saying goes, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear. Your mother has remarried and is now a member of someone else's family. You should send her back to her hometown. Don't keep her around and embarrass her."
Chen Yaer covered her mouth and laughed, "Grandma, didn't Princess Kangle say that she would grant the title of imperial decree after her mother gave birth to her half-siblings?"
"Humph! This is simply nonsense," the old lady of the Marquis of Dongyang said sternly with a sullen face.
"How can this abandoned woman who remarried be granted an imperial decree? If such a woman is granted an imperial decree, does it mean that other women will follow her example and abandon their husbands and remarry? What are the female virtues and female precepts passed down by our ancestors?"
“Ha, are you qualified to talk about women’s virtues and female precepts? Or do you want me to tell you everything you’ve done?” The old lady from General Dingguo’s mansion tapped her with her cane.
The old lady of General Dingguo's mansion entered the palace and first paid her respects to the Empress Dowager and the Queen, and then chatted with Concubine Wei.
As soon as she came in, she heard that these people were targeting her fourth daughter-in-law. Of course, nothing had been decided yet, but she was certain that they were her family members.
Of course she would protect her family members when they were bullied. The old lady of the Marquis of Dongyang Mansion was very upset, but she didn't dare to offend the old man, so she snorted coldly and turned away.
When everyone saw the old lady of General Dingguo's mansion, they all stepped forward to salute. Madam Su II said:
"The old lady may not know when she first came in, but we are talking about Princess Kangle's mother. An abandoned woman who remarried is not worth the old lady's anger."
The old lady of General Dingguo's mansion snorted coldly, "Humph! Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"
Don't think I don't know that you are a fence-sitter, jumping around like a red-butt monkey, stirring up trouble.
"Hey, old lady, I'm the second wife of Duke Dingguo's mansion, why can't I speak?"
"Bah, Princess Enyi is gone, Duke Dingguo is gone too, and you, a nobody who left home and came back to occupy the magpie's nest, are you qualified to talk about the second wife of Duke Dingguo's mansion?"
Madam Su's face turned pale and blue, her nails digging into her flesh, but she managed to endure it.
Song Jinxiu watched coldly as everyone argued over her. Seeing everyone being humiliated, and then seeing the old lady from General Dingguo's residence looking over, she smiled gratefully, "Thank you, old lady."
The old lady from General Dingguo's mansion came over, took Song Jinxiu's hand, and liked her more and more the more she looked at her.
Oh my, how come this girl has such good skin? It's so delicate and fragile, and how come the face is so exquisite?
The eyelashes fluttered, like a small brush, cymbals to people's hearts.
Liu Xiu came back from the sacrifice and saw this scene from afar.
No matter where he went, he could always see the little girl at first sight.
But, is that the old lady from General Dingguo’s Mansion?
Thinking of the old lady going to the palace to ask for the little girl's marriage, her face sank.
What are you doing? Didn't you say you'd wait another two years? She wouldn't mention it to the little girl right away, would she?
The big eunuch Zhao Baohai took a look at the emperor's face and hurriedly asked the young eunuch in charge what had just happened?
When Liu Xiu heard this, he thought, oh, it turns out that the old lady of General Dingguo's Mansion couldn't hold the little girl, and nodded secretly.
Then I thought again: Humph! I haven't even entered your house yet, and you're already protecting me like this?
Liu Xiu felt a little sad. When did his beloved Lord Song need the protection of an old feudal lord? Does he think that the emperor is just a decoration?
"Zhao Baohai, draft the decree."
In the square, the discussion became much quieter due to the support of the old lady from General Dingguo's mansion, but others did not dare to speak out. Some people were not afraid.
For example, the eldest princess.
The Grand Princess sneered, "A deserted woman who remarried still wants to covet the position of an imperial minister. What do you think of my Cangwu chastity arch?
snort! As long as there is a palace, her mother can forget about being awarded an imperial decree. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the chief eunuch Zhao Baohai came over holding the imperial edict.
"Princess Kangle accepts the order."
Song Jinxiu was stunned, and quickly knelt down to receive the order.
Eunuch Hai glanced at everyone, and they all immediately realized what was happening and knelt down with him.
The eldest princess also knelt down under the gaze of Eunuch Hai. Even the men's section got the news and knelt down.
For a moment, the entire square was filled with people kneeling down, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Eunuch Hai nodded in satisfaction and read the imperial edict in a sharp voice: "In compliance with the will of the emperor, the emperor decrees..."
It turned out to be the imperial edict conferring the title of the highest title on Princess Kangle's mother, Tian Xinghua.
Tian Xinghua was canonized as the first-rank lady of the state.
At the same time, Song Jinxiu's adopted third grandfather was posthumously conferred the title of first-rank Guanglu Doctor, the old clan leader was conferred the title of second-rank Jinzi Guanglu Doctor, and the grandfather of the village head and his biological father Song Sanzhujun were conferred the title of third-rank Yinqing Guanglu Doctor.
Grandma Song Lizheng was canonized as a third-rank lady.
Guanglu Dafu is a rank of civil official, a title given as an honorific title. It is mainly used to indicate the rank and treatment of officials, and does not represent actual positions or powers.
The Jinzi Guanglu Dafu is an official with a gold seal and purple ribbon. The term "gold seal and purple ribbon" refers to the addition of a gold seal and purple ribbon to an official title, which is a kind of clothing and status symbol indicating high-ranking officials and nobles.
Those who are awarded the silver seal and blue ribbon are called Yinqing Guanglu Dafu.
After Eunuch Hai finished reading the imperial edict, Song Jinxiu was deeply moved.
Your Majesty is so considerate.
This boss is so considerate of his subordinates, she will do her best to assist the king and strengthen Cangwu.
Everyone: To confer the title on Princess Kangle, we just need to go to her house and announce the decree. What does it mean for them to follow and listen to the conferment?
Female guests: It seems some people have been embarrassed.
