Lü Guihua took the brocade box from her daughter-in-law and said:
"This is Little Fish's decree. It has little to do with you, old man. What does it matter whether you wash it or not?"
Since this was given by the Emperor, there must have been someone who read the imperial edict.
"We are members of the Little Fish's clan. If we are to offer sacrifices to this imperial edict, shouldn't we have that person or Lord Fang read it aloud for us?"
Chi Dongyi wanted everyone to know that their Xiaoyu had been made a princess.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about we have Master Liu and the others confirm the contents later?"
Then we sent someone to find Lord Fang and give him the imperial edict.
Should we have him bring people to Chijia'ao and read it again for us in front of those outsiders?
The more Chi Dongyi talked about it, the more feasible it seemed.
When the time comes, everyone who comes to collect water will know that the Chi family has produced a princess!
Because of this decision, when Liu Luyuan and Li Mingguang arrived, Chi Dongyi did not allow them to touch the imperial edict.
Instead, he handed the brocade box to Chi Erxiong, then used his sleeve to shield his calloused hands, unfolded the imperial edict, and asked them to take a look.
By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:
Anping County and Anning County are both places of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and were once part of Le'an City.
In addition, there was a woman named Chi Yu from the Chi family in Anping County. She was exceptionally talented and had a strong sense of righteousness.
She was specially granted the title of Princess of Le'an, and was given a princess's mansion and the fief of Le'an City.
So be it!
Although the imperial edict was very short, less than a hundred words, it was impossible to guess why she had obtained the title of princess.
But they were all stunned when they heard that Anping County and Anning County had merged to form Le'an City.
"This, this..."
Chi Dong-il was so shocked that he could hardly speak.
Knowing what he was trying to say, Liu Luyuan nodded firmly.
"Yes, Anping County and Anning County were merged into Le'an City, and this place is the fiefdom of the county lord."
From now on, everything here, including the appointment of officials, will be under her control.
The imperial court will not intervene!
Chi Dongyi's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Li Mingguang. Seeing Li Mingguang nod, he asked again, still dazed:
"What about taxes?"
"The increase or decrease of taxes is also up to Princess Le'an!"
As Liu Luyuan said this, he looked at Li Mingguang.
At that moment, both of them felt very fortunate to have come to this place to be teachers.
This is the Chi family, a clan of the princess.
They have now gained some recognition in front of the princess, which will make it much easier for them to find a job in the government office in the future, even if they pass the imperial examinations!
Chi Dongyi and Chi Dongsheng, the second elder of the clan who had already arrived, both gasped.
Chi Erxiong and Chi Sanbao, on the other hand, clearly knew about this earlier, so they remained relatively calm.
Chi Dong put away the imperial edict and stuffed it into Chi Erxiong's arms.
Having bought a lot of incense, candles, paper money, and firecrackers, Chi Sanbao couldn't help but ask:
"Clan chief, why aren't we sending the imperial edict to the ancestral hall?"
"Of course, but not now. I plan to have someone invite Lord Fang over to help read the imperial edict."
Then, in front of outsiders, we'll put it in the ancestral hall.
In this way, passersby will all know about it.
Chi Sanbao didn't expect him to do this, but after thinking about it, he felt it was acceptable.
When that time comes, everyone who goes to the Beilian Mountains to fetch water will know about this!
If they can show off, they definitely will. Especially since they are members of the Little Fish clan.
Furthermore, Fang Shizhong's descent was no slower than Chu Lingqing's, who was being carried and had to stop to rest from time to time.
