Tianwu looked at the reactions of the Feng family members who were kicking below with satisfaction, and felt very satisfied. After thinking about it, he said, "Lord Feng is a first-rank official and the left prime minister whom I rely on the most. But the mistress of the Feng family did not even receive an imperial decree. This is really my negligence. Go where you want to go quickly!"
When Feng Jinyuan heard this, he wondered if Yao was going to be given an imperial decree?
Well, as long as the emperor doesn't pursue other matters, just confer the title. It's the glory of the Feng family anyway, and it won't do any harm to him, except...
He glanced at Chenyu and sighed in his heart.
What's the point of having the fate of a phoenix or not? Without the protection of the position of the legitimate daughter of the Feng family, have you ever seen a queen born out of wedlock?
"Zhang Yuan, prepare the brocade for your beloved, wear the jade scroll, and draft the imperial edict. Confer the title of... " Tianwu got stuck in the middle of his sentence and turned to ask the queen beside him, "What's her name, Yao?"
The queen quickly told him: "Yao Qianrou."
"Oh, yes!" Tian Wuzhong said, "Appoint Yao Qianrou, the daughter of Yao Xian, as a first-rank imperial lady, seal her with the imperial seal, and announce it to the world."
The Feng family members kowtowed together: "Thank you, Lord."
Tianwu then smiled a little, "Well, that's right, how can my daughter-in-law be a concubine's daughter? Get up!"
The few of them were finally able to get up from the ground. Chenyu had to rely on Yilin's support to barely stand up. She looked at Feng Jinyuan with a pair of aggrieved eyes, but her father didn't even bother to look at her.
Yao Qianrou, the daughter of Yao Xian? Why didn't the emperor mention Feng Jinyuan's wife? For a moment, he couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts.
At this time, Fen Dai had seen the situation clearly, and she quickly moved closer to Feng Yu Heng, and immediately asked warmly: "Second sister, do you miss Fen Dai?"
Feng Yuheng looked at this fourth sister and felt that this girl had even greater potential than Chen Yu. She was only ten years old but she was already so cunning. She might be difficult to get along with when she grows up.
"It's a pity that my fourth sister couldn't go back to her hometown to worship her ancestors." She didn't say whether she wanted to or didn't want to, but just said this ambiguous sentence, which made Fendai unable to figure out her thoughts. Especially the cat in her arms, the eyes of the cat made Fendai feel scared, and she couldn't help but take two steps back and simply hid behind Feng Chenyu.
At this time, someone exclaimed, "Hey!" and said, "Someone else is coming!"
People looked towards the lake and saw another small boat moored at the shore. A lady in gorgeous clothes got off the boat and walked straight towards the center of the field.
"Congratulations to my sister-in-law for being conferred the title of county lady, and I also wish Madam Yao to be conferred the title of imperial decree." The woman stepped forward and smiled sincerely at Feng Yuheng, then knelt down and kowtowed to Tianwu: "The daughter-in-law kowtows to the father and mother, and wishes the father and mother good health and longevity."
As soon as these words were spoken, people realized that this was also a princess. However, her appearance was so unfamiliar that people could not quite put her in perspective for a moment.
At this moment, Xuan Tianye, who was originally sitting among the princes and looking like he was enjoying the show, suddenly stood up and looked at the woman kneeling in the middle of the field with his eyes wide open, unable to hide the look of surprise on his face.
The Queen looked at Xuan Tianye in confusion and asked, "What is Ye'er doing? Why are you so surprised to see your own wife?"
After hearing what the queen said, people realized that this woman was actually the Princess of Xiang. Wasn't it said that the Princess of Xiang was a sickly person who couldn't even get out of bed? How could this person look sick at all?
Xuan Tianye had the same idea! He knew his wife's physical condition very well, and this illness was probably caused by him. That day, the queen suddenly summoned her to the palace. Although she also said that she would ask the imperial doctors in the palace to treat her, Xuan Tianye didn't think that those useless doctors in the palace could really cure her. Even if she got a little better, she couldn't live in the palace for a lifetime. As long as she was not completely cured, he would always find a way to make this woman unable to stand up again.
But what is the current situation?
Not only did the woman stand up, but her complexion also looked rosy, her pulse was steady, she moved freely, and she didn't even seem to be out of breath when she bent or kneeled. It was clear that she was not sick at all.
He couldn't understand what had happened to make this woman become like this all of a sudden after only being in the palace for a few days?
"Get up! You have just recovered from a serious illness, you should take good care of yourself." Tianwu spoke up and asked Princess Xiang to get up. He glanced at Xuan Tianye and said, "Why didn't you hear your mother's question?"
Xuan Tianye finally reacted and quickly stepped forward to salute the queen: "Don't blame me, mother. I was too surprised and that's why I lost my words and actions. Bai Ru has been ill for so many years, and I haven't seen her like this for a long time."
The queen nodded, "Are you happy or unhappy?"
Xuan Tianye frowned slightly, a little impatient, "Of course I am happy." The queen had no children in her life, and these princes were not her own, so they did not have the same feelings for her as they did for their real mother. People like Xuan Tianye could only make sure that everything was okay on the surface, and it was difficult for him to have more patience. Fortunately, the queen was not annoying on weekdays, she spoke little and did little, but this time, it was she who issued the decree to summon the Princess of Xiang to the palace, so Xuan Tianye's anger was naturally on her head.
The queen was not stupid. She saw Xuan Tianye's perfunctory and boredom, but she didn't care. She even asked, "Is that so? I don't think so." Then she turned her head to ask Tianwu, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The Emperor and the Empress are in cahoots - "I don't think so either."
The anger on Xuan Tianye's face became even worse.
"Speaking of which, Ye'er, you should thank your ninth brother's wife this time." Tianwu said with a smile, "If it weren't for the Yao family's descendant's wonderful rejuvenation, how could your wife's illness have been cured so quickly! Calculate it yourself, from the day she fell ill until she became so seriously ill that she couldn't even leave the house, how many years has it been? I heard that you kept looking for famous doctors outside, but there was still no improvement."
Feng Jinyuan felt that the emperor was being too disrespectful. He was still standing here, why did he keep saying "descendants of the Yao family"? He had even managed to force Yao back to be his legal wife, so how could he just cut him off in the blink of an eye?
However, he did not dare to get angry with the emperor and could only lower his head and listen silently.
And Xuan Tianye only then understood why Princess Xiang recovered so quickly, it turned out to be Feng Yuheng!
He turned his head to look at Feng Yuheng. He had heard that the second daughter of the Feng family was as good at medicine as the great doctor Yao Xian back then. She was only twelve years old, so it was obvious that if this little girl grew up, her medical skills would reach a terrifying level. He didn't believe the rumors outside at first, but Tianwu said that it was she who cured the Princess Xiang's illness. She could cure such an illness with the medicine he personally changed. He couldn't help but believe in Feng Yuheng's medical skills.
"I have heard of your amazing skills. Today, I am grateful to you for helping me cure the princess's stubborn illness." He is a smart man. It is obvious that the emperor, empress and Feng Yuheng worked together. He wanted Feng Chenyu, but he could not hide it from these people. He did not expect that they would choose to use this method to prevent him from having another concubine. But it is okay. With the current situation of the Feng family, it is hard to say whether Feng Chenyu can still be taken. "I will never forget your kindness." The last sentence was a bit more sincere.
Feng Yuheng raised her lips and chuckled, "Since Third Brother calls me his sister-in-law, we are a family. We are a family and we should not have different opinions."
Xuan Tianye looked up at her and felt that the little girl in front of him didn't look like a twelve-year-old child at all. There was a mystery in her eyes that no one could fathom, just like the cat in her arms.
"Third brother." Suddenly, a sarcastic voice came, and Xuan Tianye felt a headache. He could tell that it was his most difficult brother, Xuan Tianming. "Our Heng Heng cured your wife, and you didn't show any appreciation?"
This is to ask for something!
Xuan Tianye said quickly: "Of course I have to thank...
"Sister-in-law." Think about it again, what should I give?
Before he could think it through, Xuan Tianming took the initiative to speak again: "Our Heng Heng doesn't like those petty things of girls. I heard that the third brother has a jade mine. I wonder if he is willing to take it out as a reward?"
"Of course I'm willing to give it up!" Princess Xiang took over before Xuan Tianye could. "What are you talking about, Ninth Brother? Your Third Brother and I have been married since we were young, and we are still in love after all these years. Your sister-in-law cured my serious illness. Let alone asking for a jade mine, even if it's the Prince Xiang's Mansion, your Third Brother won't even blink an eye. Your Highness, don't you agree?"
Xuan Tianye was so angry that veins popped out of his temples. Jade ore, Xuan Tianming actually asked for his jade ore? His princess agreed so easily?
He looked at Princess Xiang in disbelief, and she looked back at him in confusion: "Why do you look like that, Your Majesty? Don't you want to?"
Tianwu also spoke up at this time: "Ye'er, your father has taught you since childhood that you should never forget the kindness you have received and repay a drop of kindness with a spring of water. Have you forgotten it?"
Xuan Tianye stood there, motionless, just breathing heavily, the anger on his face almost reaching a peak. Everyone felt that if someone provoked him again at this moment, the Third Prince would explode.
But after all, he had developed the ability to endure since childhood, and years of silence also gave him an absolutely rational and clear mind.
Xuan Tianye reacted quickly and realized that by curing Princess Xiang, the Emperor's goal was not just to stop him from marrying Feng Chenyu. He was afraid that the ultimate goal was to take his lifeblood!
Everyone knows that the Third Prince Xuan Tianye got a jade mine a few years ago, in the mountains of Xiuzhou. However, not much finished jade was mined at that time, and the mining cost was much more expensive than the jade itself. The old emperor probably thought that there was no profit, so he generously gave the jade mine to Xuan Tianye.
Xuan Tianye was really happy for a while, thinking that the current difficulties did not mean that there would be no benefits in the future. He had already asked someone to check it out. The mine was huge. As long as it was mined well, there would be an astonishing amount of jade output, and it would not be mined out for at least 50 years. The emperor did not have such foresight, so he got an advantage.
Sure enough, the jade mine was running better and better every year under his management. He was able to plan and raise troops in other provinces, relying mostly on the money from the jade mine.
However, he thought the emperor didn't know these things, but he didn't understand until today. His father was not unaware of them, but was waiting for him to run the jade mine and mature it, and then he would take it and use it as a ready-made product. The initial mining was omitted, and the initial risks were avoided. The workers had been tempered and matured in the labor of the past few years, and the output of waste jade was minimized. In addition, the small county near the mountain range also gradually expanded in order to cooperate with the mine.
In this world...he could never outsmart that old fox.
"How could I forget the kindness you have shown me? I was originally going to give the jade mine as a gift for my ninth brother's wedding. Now that this has happened, I will give it to my ninth brother in advance! When my ninth brother gets married, I will go find another great gift!"
