Chapter 526: Awarded the First-Rank Protector of the Nation
Prince Rong's Mansion
"Grandmothers, Daddy is going to the Censorate for the first time today. Will anyone bully him?"
Du Ye: "Putting aside your status as the young prince, your father is not the type to suffer losses or be bullied. Otherwise, he wouldn't have raised you and your mother so well, right, Ningning?"
Gu Yining didn't agree with that, as his son was treated like a beast of burden by the Song family.
She felt heartbroken whenever she thought about these things.
She wanted to bring Chen Chunhua here and beat her three times a day.
But she couldn't.
If Song Qingshan hadn't rescued Aye, Aye would not have survived.
The most important thing is that she has been blind for thirty-six years, and she cannot forgive herself.
"That's right. No one dares to bully your father. Not only is he a lawyer, he's also turned Wushuang Village into a paradise, allowing the villagers to live a good life. He also provided methods to increase grain production, and his other good ideas were reportedly adopted by the emperor. This is enough to show how capable your father is. In just a day or two, he was fully familiar with the practical work of the Inspectorate Censor."
Song Yu smiled and said, "Hehe... Daddy is really excellent and has always been my role model."
When Du Ye heard this, she knew that even if Sister Yu had a close relationship with Henian, in Sister Yu's heart, Henian was no match for the young prince.
After all, the young prince raised Sister Yu single-handedly.
Gu Yining: "Sister Yu, did your father do anything else for a living?"
Song Yu was confused for a moment. "Even being a lawyer, a village chief, and opening a shop with Uncle Wen to make money."
"No, your father must have another job. Your grandfather said that he woke up in the Song Mansion and sparred with the guards there. His skills were extraordinary, obviously trained and well-equipped with swords. The people under him saw a woman who looked like me at Liao Ji Restaurant and took the initiative to follow her. He wasn't just a paid guard."
Song Yu was shocked. Grandma was really observant.
"That's right. Daddy was concerned about my and Mom's safety and worried that they wouldn't be able to protect us, so he asked Master Wu to train them."
Gu Yining: "That wouldn't require spending so much money to hire so many people. I woke up once in the carriage that day, and there was a lot of commotion outside. Both sides must have had hundreds of people."
Song Yu: "Dad and Uncle Wen have opened many shops together, so naturally they have to hire a lot of thugs, oh no, guards. Now that the shops have moved to the capital, they naturally have to follow."
"Oh, I see."
"Grandmothers, you guys continue chatting, I'm going back." Song Yu got up and left.
If we stay any longer, Suzaku Pavilion will be exposed.
As soon as Song Yu entered the Jade Pavilion, Wen Nuo came over with a plate of donkey rolls.
"Sister, I kept my promise and made you some pastry. This is the donkey roll I made. Even though it may not look good, it's definitely edible. Come and try it."
Song Yu glanced at the colorful and varied donkey rolls on the plate, which looked quite good. She reached out and wiped the bean paste off his face. "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Nuo. Let's go in and eat together."
"Sister, I've eaten." Wen Nuo picked up a piece and handed it to Song Yu, "Try it quickly and give me your comments. Tell me whether it's good or bad. This will also help me improve my cooking skills."
Song Yu picked it up and took a bite out of courtesy.
This bite almost made Song Yu sick. "How much sugar did you put in this?"
"No more than two catties, no, one catty."
Song Yu: ...
Fortunately, I can still distinguish between sugar and salt.
"You should stop cooking. I'll make you food."
"Oh, oh, that's great." Wen Nuo danced with joy, "I'm in for another treat."
Song Yu: ...
This guy deliberately made the donkey roll so sweet!
"The prerequisite for enjoying good food is to go to school with my cousin."
!!!
Wen Nuo's face was instantly filled with horror.
"Is it true that you can't enjoy good food without reading?"
Song Yu shook his head.
"Okay then, I'll go to the academy! But I want to eat some blue jam pancakes. Can you come and go freely in Luming Mountain now?"
Song Yu then remembered that the shops and farms owned by Xiao Hongyi and his son should be quickly transferred to his father's name.
"That's right. Not only can we come and go freely, but we also need to fence off the barren mountain behind us. There are many medicinal herbs in it. We need to quickly set up a herbal medicine shop."
"Sister, leave this to me..."
"Miss." Bai Lan rushed in. "Someone from the palace has arrived with a lot of rewards, eighteen sets in total, and an imperial edict. The prince sent someone to your front yard to receive the edict."
"An imperial decree?" Song Yu was surprised. "For me?"
"right!"
What imperial edict did she need to receive? Confused, Song Yu rushed to the front yard.
Song Yu's jaw dropped when he saw the eighteen large boxes delivered.
A box of gold and a box of silver, and no other jewelry or silks.
It’s so packed!
The emperor is really rich!
"Sister Yu." Xiao Yanxu saw her stunned and waved, "Come and receive the imperial decree. It's specially given to you by the Emperor."
Xiao Yanxu was also very curious. Why did his royal brother suddenly send another imperial edict? Could it be an imperial edict granting marriage?
When Wang Gui pronounced the six characters "First Rank Protector of the Country Princess" in a clear and loud voice, Song Yu was a little confused.
Just a few days after she became a second-rank princess, she was promoted to a first-rank princess who protects the country!
Far ahead of other princesses?
Wang Gui saw her in a daze and gently reminded her, "Princess, please accept the order quickly."
"Oh." Song Yu came back to his senses, shouted "Thank you, Lord for your grace" and took the imperial edict and read it carefully.
Just because she discovered that there was something wrong with Tianzhulan and saved the emperor from disaster, she protected the entire Dayuan Kingdom. For her contribution to protecting the country, she was awarded the title of First-Rank Protector of the Country Princess!
Xiao Yanxu watched Wang Gui leave and saw Song Yu still holding the imperial edict. "Sister Yu, show it to grandfather."
Song Yu handed him the imperial edict and said, "Grandpa, the emperor made a mistake. The one who made the greatest contribution to the defense of the country was Daddy."
"That's right, the emperor won't make a mistake. You have made great contributions to protecting the country. Don't forget that the little prince was able to survive because he took your detoxification pill. The emperor is even more so."
Song Yu: "I gave the detoxification pill after I returned to the city. If anyone deserves credit, it's my mother."
Xiao Yanxu handed her the imperial edict and said, "You are worthy of being the Protector of the Country. After all, you developed the detoxification pill. Take it to your mother and show it. Your father doesn't know yet. Give him a surprise when you come back tonight."
Xiao Yanxu returned to Jinque Tower and informed Gu Yining that Song Yu had been conferred the title of Princess Huguo.
"Sister Yu still thinks the emperor made a mistake and says it was Wanwan's credit."
Gu Yining looked relieved. "Sister Yu is sensible and obedient. The Emperor's decision to confer the title of Protector of the Country Princess on Sister Yu wasn't as simple as the imperial edict said. It was because of Sister Yu that Aye was able to return to the capital alive, and Xiao Hongyi, the fake son, was exposed. Otherwise, the Dayuan Empire would have changed its name. This is the real reason why Sister Yu was conferred the title."
"That's right, Sister Yu is Fubao."
Gu Yining: "Aye officially entered the official career today. When will Xiao Hongyi's family be dealt with? We can't delay it too long. What if someone breaks into the prison?"
"The reason they haven't made any decisions yet is because they're secretly investigating the private soldiers Xiao Hongyi has kept over the years. More specifically, they're investigating the confidants left behind by Zhan Lingyuan."
Gu Yining was shocked, "Xiao Hongyi is Zhan Lingyuan's son?"
"That's right, Ayi doesn't just have Xiao Chengqian as his son. He also has two sons with a concubine. The older one is already sixteen years old..."
