Seeing everyone's meaningful looks, the old lady of Wangyang Hou shrank back to reduce her sense of presence.
The eldest princess’ face turned pale: Brother, did you do this on purpose?
After Eunuch Hai finished reading the imperial edict, Liu Renxiu strode over. He looked at Song Jinxiu and saw the little girl's sparkling eyes, as if he could feel the joy in her heart. I suddenly felt much better.
Song Jinxiu was really happy. Originally, she thought that asking for a title for her mother, the Third Master, was enough, but she didn't expect that His Majesty would give her more.
Seeing the king, everyone knelt down and said, "Your Highness."
Song Jinxiu also shouted loudly: "Thank you, Lord, for your grace."
Hearing the little girl's clear and pleasant voice, Liu Renxiu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Go away."
Everyone stood up.
Only the eldest princess was still kneeling.
She looked at Emperor Cangwu and said loudly: "Your Majesty is confused. How can an abandoned woman remarry and be awarded an imperial decree? I hope Your Majesty will take back your order."
The eldest princess knelt down, and the seven ladies who had just stood up saw the maid beside the eldest princess winking at them, so they knelt down too.
They also shouted, "I hope your Majesty will take back your order."
Their husbands were all promoted through the Grand Princess's connections, so naturally they had to follow the Grand Princess's pace.
Song Jinxiu narrowed her eyes. She originally thought that some of the censors might come out, but she didn't expect that the censors didn't say anything, and this group of old women who were looking for trouble came out.
However, she remembered these loyal fans of the Grand Princess.
Just wait, I will settle accounts with you one by one later.
Liu Renxiu frowned as he looked at the eldest princess who was kneeling upright.
This imperial sister is becoming more and more aggressive. She used to pretend to obey him but now she is openly challenging his authority.
Doesn’t she know the emperor’s words? Just because of some private disagreement with that little girl, you want me to revoke the imperial edict. Are you asking me to do what I say?
As the eldest princess, how magnanimous are you?
He asked in a deep voice: "Sister, you are the eldest princess of Cangwu. I want to ask you, why did our royal family confer imperial edicts?"
The eldest princess said in a clear voice: "Of course it is to commend the officials for their achievements. By bestowing imperial edicts, our royal family can encourage officials to work harder and serve the country."
How could she not know such an obvious truth?
The emperor nodded. "Well, if that's the case, I don't need to tell you about the merits of Song Aiqing, right? Am I wrong to reward her mother?"
The eldest princess raised her head and said, "Princess Kangle has made contributions, but her mother abandoned her husband and remarried, which is unfaithful. How can she be a role model for imperial edicts?"
The kneeling women said one after another: "Your Majesty, the imperial edict is a model for women of heaven, and they should be chaste and pure, and their wills should be as strong as iron and stone. But Tian abandoned her and remarried, which is not chaste and clean. We do not accept that such a person is given the imperial edict."
Liu Renxiu glanced at the Grand Princess and the ladies behind her and sneered, "Abandoned woman remarries?
But it was this remarried woman in your mouth who raised a loyal minister like Song Aiqing.
This is a great achievement. ”
The emperor's powerful words echoed throughout the square. The square was crowded with people, but they all held their breath and were completely silent.
Liu Renxiu looked at the people on the bus and said, "Are you dissatisfied?
Then I ask you, apart from the Tian family, who can cultivate someone like Song Aiqing? Who can compare to my beloved Lord Song? ”
Liu Renxiu's voice was not loud, but it was sonorous, powerful and imposing.
Everyone was startled when they heard this and held their breath, not daring to make any movement.
What a joke, Song Jinxiu? What to compare?
Other people's children can learn not only the multiplication table, but also how to make glass, and can observe the sky to predict whether it will rain or shine. They can also hear two orioles singing in the green willows and a line of egrets flying in the blue sky. What can my own children learn?
Seeing no one answer, Liu Renxiu stepped forward and asked the Grand Princess,
"Royal sister, can your children compare to this?"
The eldest princess looked very unhappy. How could her children, who were of noble birth, be compared with a country girl?
Princess Kangning gritted her teeth, her eyes full of resentment. What did her imperial uncle mean? How am I inferior to that bitch?
She is from the countryside and only knows some strange and lewd skills. How can she compare with the noble lady's demeanor of her younger years?
Sima Fei lowered his head. Princess Kangle was full of tricks, he could not compare with her.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: Can that be used for comparison? Isn't it just on the same level?
That is, comparing the ignorant young people in the family with the ministers of the court, isn't this a joke?
The entire square was silent, with only the sound of people breathing being heard.
Liu Renxiu sneered, "You can't, but Tian can. Why do you look down on her?"
The eldest princess had an extremely unpleasant expression on her face. The emperor was so protective of that Tian family. Did he value Princess Kangle so much? Well, she would do the opposite. It's a good opportunity to test the bottom line of this royal brother.
She said in a deep voice: "It is Tian's blessing that she gave birth to Princess Kangle, so she can live in Princess Kangle's mansion and enjoy the splendor and wealth."
At this point, she straightened her back and said word by word, "But, after all, she is a remarried woman. It would be too much to reward her with an imperial decree. I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order."
Liu Renxiu glanced at the people in the square and said, "I have sent people to investigate the reason why Tian remarried. It was nothing more than a mistake.
how? The woman left home, is it true that she is not allowed to remarry? ”
Looking at the women with different expressions, Liu Renxiu lowered his head and asked the Grand Princess:
"Sister, I don't even dare to think like that. You are women, so you can't tolerate women like that?"
As he spoke, he suddenly raised his voice, "Or do you just want to suppress my beloved Minister Song?
how? Do I have a grudge against you? Or does Cangwu have a grudge against you? ”
This is really heartbreaking. If he has a grudge against Cangwu, could he be a spy from another country?
The eldest princess' face turned pale, but she couldn't utter another word.
The other women, however, knelt on the ground and trembled.
It's over. I originally thought that if I followed the steps of the Grand Princess, I could also get some attention. But now it's over. The emperor has given me such a big hat. I can only go home and wait to be divorced.
Song Jinxiu was deeply moved. She had no way to repay your majesty's grace, so she could only serve her country with her life.
At Princess Kangle's mansion, the imperial edict arrived, and everyone in the mansion knelt to receive it.
Tian Xinghua was naturally very excited when she was canonized as a first-rank lady of the state. My mood was excited and all the depressed emotions were swept away.
Zhang Zihan received the news from Song Jinxiu in advance, and stayed by his wife's side, fearing that she would get overexcited and have a miscarriage.
Song Sanzhu heard that his daughter had asked her mother for a first-rank lady. My heart is so sad. This child is still with his mother.
Do I have to kneel down when I see her mother from now on?
Look at that kid Zhang Zihan, your wife got an imperial decree and you jumped around for it. Aren't you ashamed?
If there is something wrong, why don't you ask for a title for your wife as an official? Don't rely on my daughter.
Later he heard that he had a chance to do so. He was completely stunned when he heard the eunuch reading the imperial edict.
Third-rank Silver and Green Guanglu Doctor? What does it do?
He doesn't know anything. What can he do if he becomes an official?
My dear daughter, daddy is no longer jealous of your mother. Can you please stop being an official?
Seeing Song Sanzhu's eyes wide open, Aunt Chang reminded him, "Congratulations, Master. Please accept the decree and express your gratitude."
Song Chunsheng, who went home for the Spring Festival, knelt behind his father and reminded him, "Dad, it's time to receive the order."
Song Sanzhu said in a low voice with a bitter face: "Son, Dad doesn't know how to be an official, how about I let you have the position?"
