The next day, the empress dowager wrote an imperial edict, which said that because she missed the late emperor, she decided to go to the imperial mausoleum to guard it. Concubine Rong had noble character and gave birth to a good emperor like the emperor who cared about the people. I felt that Concubine Rong was more suitable to be the empress dowager. Therefore, after I went to guard the imperial mausoleum, Concubine Rong would be the empress dowager.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the people of the capital city praised the empress dowager one after another, and people were everywhere speaking well of her.
The emperor ignored these things, as long as his goal was achieved.
Then the emperor issued an imperial decree, saying that Concubine Cheng's personal maid Zhu'er poisoned the empress and the prince. Concubine Cheng was found to have improperly employed people, so she was stripped of her title of concubine and banished to the cold palace. Zhu'er was hung on the city wall and left exposed for three days before being thrown into a mass grave to feed wild beasts.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the capital was in an uproar again. No one could believe that a maid had the courage to poison the queen and the prince. The people were even more happy for the emperor and his son.
Before the people could recover from their joy, the emperor issued another decree, accusing the Ministry of History of being corrupt, selling official positions and titles, and perverting the law. He ordered the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Censorate to jointly investigate the case, with the assistance of the Imperial Clan Court. The Minister of Personnel had misjudged the situation, and therefore he was dismissed from his post, his property confiscated, and his six generations barred from taking the imperial examinations or serving as officials.
This imperial edict made many students, scholars and juren who had been bullied by the Ministry of Personnel praise the emperor's wisdom.
Then the emperor issued a third decree, saying that he was delighted to have a prince, and would exempt the people from taxes for one year. He also said that Concubine Rong was gentle, virtuous, benevolent, filial, and talented, and would be named Empress Dowager. The enthronement ceremony would be held in three days, so the imperial examination would be reopened this year, and students could all take the examination, and students, scholars, and juren could also take the exam again.
This imperial edict caused an uproar throughout the country, especially among the tongsheng, xiucai and juren who had been treated unfairly in the imperial examinations. They admired the emperor even more in their hearts.
Three days later, the Empress Dowager's ceremony took place and the whole country was celebrating. The Emperor took his mother by the hand and walked through the whole process, and the ceremony was considered completed.
Three years later.
In Taohua Village, Anping Town, Old Man Yang's home is no longer what it used to be.
Ever since Yang Wuniu, no, it should be said that it was Yang Youxue.
Ever since Yang Youxue started talking, she told her grandparents, parents, and uncles that she wanted to be called Yang Youxue, not Wuniu, as it sounded too ugly. Seeing how persistent she was, the Yang family had no choice but to follow her wishes and call her Yang Youxue.
Yang Youxue also used the knowledge she learned in her previous life to teach her family how to make hot pot and open a restaurant, and also taught Da Niu and Er Niu to embroider some puppets.
After two years, ten stores had been opened and the business had spread to Dongdu County.
The houses in Taohua Village have a large courtyard with five entrances and exits, and are all made of blue bricks and tiles.
Because of the money, her second uncle also found her second aunt and she gave birth to a one-year-old daughter Qingyi.
My third uncle also passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, but he is still single.
"Dad, Mom, Zhongcheng and I are going to look at the store." Yang Zhongyi said to his parents.
"Be careful on the road. When you get to the county town, bring Da Niu and the others back in the evening. Especially Wu Niu, who is only three years old and is running around everywhere. It's not decent. Tell Wu Niu that her grandma misses her." Yang Haosen said to his eldest son Yang Zhongyi.
"Dad, you still call her Wuniu. Be careful that she won't call you that anymore." Yang Zhongyi kindly reminded Yang Haosen.
"I'll be fooled by a yellow-haired girl...Okay, Dad, be careful next time and don't call her Wu Niu." Yang Haosen, the head of the family, is not afraid of anyone except his granddaughter. His way of playing pranks on people really makes people love and hate him.
Yang Zhongyi and Yang Zhongcheng went to Anren County and soon arrived at the "Man Yao Pei Youxue" puppet shop. The sign was named after the five sisters. This business belonged to the five sisters Yang Youxue and not to the Yang family.
"Sister, this is the pattern for this month. You can make it according to this style." Yang Youxue handed the drawings of the panda and cute cat from her previous life to her elder sister Yang Qingman.
The eldest sister took the drawing, looked at the pattern on it, and liked it so much that she didn't want to let it go.
The second sister Qingyao snatched it from the eldest sister's hand, looked at the two cute figures, and liked them very much.
Finally, Qing Pei, Qing You and mother looked through the drawings before handing them over to Qing Man.
Among the six people, only Qingman has the best craftsmanship?
"Sister, I want to make them into big dolls that are one meter long so that I can hold them while sleeping at night." Thinking of her previous life, Junhao bought her a big doll, which was made specifically for her by someone in his image. Junhao told her to hold the doll just like holding him.
Speaking of Junhao, I don’t know if he is still alive. If he is still alive in the future, I hope he can live a good life. I also hope he can find a woman who loves him and live a good life. She will bless them here...
"Youxue, what are you thinking about so intently? I have something to ask you." Yang Qingman interrupted Yang Youxue's thoughts.
"Ah, sister, what did you say?" Yang Youxue was interrupted and asked her elder sister with a confused look on her face.
"I'm asking you, what is the name of this animal?" The elder sister asked Yang Youxue helplessly, pointing at the drawing of the panda.
Her fifth sister is good in every way except that she is easily distracted. Sometimes when she sees her thinking about something, her expression is as if she is missing her lover. Sometimes she is frightened by this thought. How can a fifth sister who is only two or three years old have a lover?
