Chapter 110: Princess Rong'an
Aunt Zheng was completely confused and just wondered if the imperial edict had arrived to appoint Qingyou as a concubine?
He also came to the front yard with a happy face.
She was looking forward to the person who came to deliver the imperial edict, because she didn't know the chief steward of Desheng at all. If she knew him or had some impression of him, she wouldn't be dreaming.
"May I ask this eunuch, what is this imperial edict?"
Like a proud peacock, if Qingyou became a concubine, she would be included in the royal jade book, and she would be successful and bring honor to the family.
Her daughter is a concubine and may become a noble concubine or empress in the future, while Lu Wanning's daughter was rejected and no one wants her. The difference is obvious!
It's just a matter of time before she becomes a co-wife.
Infinite longing arose in her heart, knowing that her good days were yet to come.
Desheng had always heard that the concubine was the head of Prime Minister Bai's mansion. When he saw this woman dressed in jewels and precious stones and looked very tacky, he thought she must be the concubine.
Turning to look at the dignified woman beside him, this should be the Prime Minister's wife.
As expected of Miss Bai’s mother, she comes from a prominent family and is very elegant.
"Mrs. Bai, who is this?"
Lu Wanning suppressed her laughter and introduced, "Meet Steward Desheng. This is the concubine of the mansion. I don't know the rules. Please forgive me."
"So it's a concubine. In all these years in our family, I've never seen a concubine come to the front yard to receive an imperial decree."
"Madam, please don't be too kind. Some people are always taking advantage of others."
It is clear who these words are addressed to.
Aunt Zheng was so furious, how could he say that to her? hateful!
"My dear eunuch, I am the head of the mansion now."
Desheng was stunned by his arrogant look, and then his expression turned into one that was hard to describe.
"Prime Minister Bai favors his concubine over his wife."
Before Bai Changhao had walked far, he was called back by someone sent by the housekeeper.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, I heard Desheng's words and I was almost panicked.
She was furious with Aunt Zheng and scolded her, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's obvious that the Madam is the head of this house."
"When will it be your turn as a concubine to be in charge?"
It turned out to be the chief steward of Desheng who came in person to deliver the imperial edict. His heart was pounding. What big thing had happened?
Eunuch Desheng is the emperor's personal eunuch. There was nothing that happened in court today that had anything to do with him.
It was not convenient to ask anything, so he quickly ordered the butler to burn incense and prepare to receive the order.
Lu Wanning sneered. Bai Changhao was still as shameless as ever.
To use Qinghuan's words, this means being both a role and a liability!
Aunt Zheng was not convinced, as it was clearly the Prime Minister who gave her the power of housekeeper.
She was unwilling to hand it back.
She looked at Bai Changhao aggrievedly, biting her lips tightly. Why did the Prime Minister lose her face in front of outsiders?
"Prime Minister?"
Tears fell like beads from a broken string, and I couldn't stop crying.
If you look closely, there is a hint of charm in the look she gives Bai Changhao.
After all, she was the one he had spoiled for so many years, so Bai Changhao felt a little bit reluctant and stopped speaking harshly.
He gave her a reassuring look and then smiled at Desheng:
"I'm sorry to make the butler laugh."
The vague doting and helplessness in her eyes made Desheng see it clearly.
Desheng's disdain became even stronger. It was indeed the seductive behavior of a concubine. She was still trying to seduce people in public.
Which mistress would cry easily? Which mistress would show such a seductive look in public?
It is rumored that he favors his concubine over his wife, and this is true.
It has come to this, why don’t you let the concubine go back to the backyard? What’s the point of keeping her here?
It's a pity that such a good person like the lady was so ignored.
He will definitely report to His Majesty truthfully what he saw today.
When he looked at Bai Changhao again, his eyes were a little less warm.
Bai Qinghuan almost vomited after watching this. If a teenage girl did such a move, it would be cute and adorable, but Aunt Zheng was already a middle-aged woman.
Although she still has her charm, but these days of taking care of the affairs of the mansion, the fine lines on her face have become wrinkled, it is really unbearable to look at.
Aunt Zheng still has the nerve to feel wronged, she is so stupid.
By saying that he is the head of the family in front of Steward Desheng, isn't he telling His Majesty that there is unrest in Bai Changhao's family?
Cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country and bring peace to the world.
If you can’t even manage your own family, how can you talk about governing the country and bringing peace to the world?
How can Bai Changhao not be anxious?
When the chief steward of Desheng saw that everyone who was supposed to be there had arrived, he opened the bright yellow imperial edict, and a shrill voice echoed through the front yard:
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims:
Today there is Bai Qinghuan, who is both talented and virtuous, beautiful and intelligent. The frostbite ointment she developed has miraculous effects and has saved countless soldiers. She has made great contributions to the country, so she is specially named the Princess of Rong'an County, with a fief of 1,000 households and a mansion to honor her virtue.
So ordered! ”
Bai Qinghuan was pleasantly surprised that the emperor had indeed given her a title.
Not only that, she also has a fiefdom, so she will have her own territory from now on.
There is also a mansion, so that when their mother divorces them in the future they will have a proper place to live.
She kowtowed devoutly: "Your Majesty, long live His Majesty!"
Lu Wanning felt like she was hit by a pie in the sky and felt dizzy.
I thought it was some reward like supplements and cloth, but I didn’t expect it was from the county lord!
Being commended and rewarded by the emperor is already a great honor, but the county princess has reached heaven in one step.
My daughter is a county lady with a fiefdom. Let’s see who dares to bully her in the future.
Even if you never get married, you will never have to worry about your happiness for the rest of your life.
It's like there's a groundhog screaming madly in my heart...
Ahhhh…
Hahaha...
Nanny Liu grabbed Lu Wanning's arm tightly, and she felt like the lady was about to jump up to the sky.
Bai Changhao was exactly the opposite of Lu Wanning. He had a lot of questions in his mind.
He knew about the frostbite ointment. Since the Imperial Medical Service was short-staffed, he had summoned many doctors from the public to prepare it, and it was shipped to the north in a steady stream.
It is very effective for frostbite, the effect is immediate and greatly reduces the patient's pain.
But how could this frostbite ointment be developed by Bai Qinghuan?
When did this daughter learn medicine? How come he doesn't know?
But the imperial decree had been issued, and he had no choice but to believe it.
With a fief of a thousand households, she is a real county lord with a fiefdom, more powerful than those county lords who only have titles.
Is this his Bai Changhao's daughter?
The Desheng chief steward smiled brightly and said to Bai Qinghuan in a gentle voice, "Princess Rong'an, the emperor has said that you don't need to go to the palace to express your gratitude since you are injured."
Bai Qinghuan thanked His Majesty again for his grace.
Since the Queen is not in charge of affairs, she should go to the palace to express her gratitude to the Queen Mother and the Emperor according to the rules.
His Majesty deliberately did not allow her to meet the Queen Mother.
She became even more grateful to the emperor.
I'm thinking whether I should give him acupuncture to detoxify after a while?
It won't do her any harm to live a few more years.
At the same time, he was very grateful to Desheng. Originally, Lu Wanning had prepared a purse of silver, but Bai Qinghuan had other ideas and did not let her take it out.
She gestured to Zi Yan to hand over the purse she had prepared.
"Thank you for your help, sir. This is just a small token of my respect. I hope you will accept it."
Desheng declined: "Miss, you are too polite. This is what our family should do."
Bai Qinghuan blinked mischievously:
"Are you going to refuse without seeing what's inside, father-in-law?"
Now, Desheng was also curious. Could there be some treasure inside?
He took the purse, opened it, and found a piece of paper inside.
He unfolded the paper and what caught his eyes was Bai Qinghuan's overly beautiful handwriting.
Look carefully: "This..."
