"The emperor has arrived!" Eunuch Hong shouted.
After Eunuch Hong finished speaking, the emperor walked into the court from behind and walked towards the dragon table.
"Your sons (and we, the common people) respectfully greet the emperor. Long live the emperor!" Liang Junhao led the ministers to salute the emperor.
"My dear minister, please stand up!" said the emperor as he sat on the dragon throne.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Liang Junhao stood up with the ministers.
"If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please dismiss the court!" said Eunuch Hong.
"Your son has something to report!" said Liang Junhao.
"What's the matter, Prince?" asked the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, I have brought Yang Youxue, the woman who solved the Jiangnan water monster, to the court," said Liang Junhao.
"Where is Yang Youxue?" asked the emperor.
"I'm here!" Yang Youxue stepped forward.
"Please stand in front!" The emperor saw that his future daughter-in-law was standing at the back and he couldn't see her clearly, so he asked her to stand in the front.
"Yes!" Yang Youxue said, and walked to the first row and stood there.
Standing in the first row were the Crown Prince, Prince Chun, the Duke of Zhenguo, the Duke of Weiguo, the Marquis of Chang'an, the Marquis of Jing'an, the Prime Minister, the Grand Tutor, and the Grand Preceptor.
Yang Youxue walked to the front, and Prince Chun automatically made room for her to stand between him and the prince.
He heard that this woman was not only the prince's favorite and the future princess, but also the elusive medical saint.
He wanted the Medical Saint to treat the princess, so when he came in the morning, he brought the princess with him. She is now in the Queen's bedroom.
Yang Youxue stood straight and properly, without looking around or shrinking back, but standing neither arrogantly nor humbly.
The emperor waited for Yang Youxue to stand still and began to look her over.
She is so beautiful that the moon hides in ashes, and she is graceful and intelligent.
What he admired most was that she was open and generous, neither humble nor arrogant, and not timid or submissive.
Yang Youxue naturally knew that the emperor was looking at her. She could feel that the emperor's gaze did not make her feel disgusted, so she let him look at her openly.
Anyway, I am born beautiful and I am not afraid of people seeing me.
If the other person was not the emperor, she would have wanted to look back and see whether the legendary emperor was a greasy uncle or a decrepit old man.
"Yang Youxue, tell the ministers how you came up with the idea of solving the water monster in the south of the Yangtze River." The emperor looked at Yang Youxue and said.
"Yes! I saw a picture of a water monster in a weird magazine, and it said it was an edible food.
Later, when I was traveling, I saw this thing. There were very few of them at that time, so I had someone catch it and started to experiment with it. Finally, I made several different kinds of delicious food.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told me about the water monster, I suspected that it was a crayfish.
Why do I call it a crayfish? Because it's all red, that's why it's called a crayfish." Yang Youxue said seriously to everyone.
When Liang Junhao heard what Yang Youxue said, he wanted to laugh in his heart, and he really wanted to give her a thumbs up and say, "Great job!"
"Miss Yang is truly knowledgeable and well-read!" The emperor praised Yang Youxue.
"Your Majesty is too kind! I am unworthy of it!" Yang Youxue said modestly.
"My dear ministers, do you remember that I said that if Yang Youxue, a commoner, could solve the Jiangnan water monster, I would make her a princess!
My Lord, your words are not joking. I will fulfill my promise.
"Yang Youxue, come forward and be conferred!" said the Emperor.
"I'm here!" Yang Youxue stepped forward and knelt.
"Yang Youxue, you solved the Jiangnan water monster and gave away the recipe for free, allowing the people of Jiangnan to catch the monster and exchange it for silver, increasing their income and improving their lives. Your hard work and contributions are invaluable.
"I confer upon you the title of Princess Xueyao, granting you a Princess's Mansion, the land of Dongdu County, ten thousand acres of fertile farmland, two farms, five shops, one thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, a box of jewels, a box of silks and satins, and a box of antiques and paintings. They will be delivered to the Princess's Mansion on a chosen day," said the Emperor.
"I thank the emperor for his grace!" Yang Youxue said happily.
Oh my god, so many rewards made her salivate inwardly.
Dongdu County is her fiefdom. Does it mean that she is the highest official in Dongdu County and even the county magistrate has to listen to her?
She also likes gold, silver and jewelry very much. As a qualified businessman, she will not be dissatisfied with having too much silver.
"You keep calling me a commoner, but now you have to call me your subject." Liang Junhao reminded.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I don't know the rules!" Yang Youxue knew that she had said the wrong thing and immediately apologized to the emperor.
She didn't want to receive a reward but not be able to enjoy it.
"That's all right!" said the Emperor.
"Congratulations, Princess! Congratulations, Princess!" The ministers congratulated the princess one after another.
"Congratulations! Congratulations!" Yang Youxue politely returned the greeting.
"Your Majesty, I have something else to report!" said Liang Junhao.
"What's the matter?" said the emperor.
"Father, I was traveling all the way to Jiangnan and was attacked by an assassin just after leaving the outskirts of Beijing. Thanks to Princess Xueyao's men, I was saved and not injured.
On my return to the capital, my son was also assassinated." Liang Junhao reported the assassination to the emperor.
"Who is so bold as to assassinate the prince?
"Prince, have you found the person behind this?" The emperor asked Liang Junhao angrily.
"Your Majesty, I have found the person behind the assassination," said Liang Junhao.
"Who is it? Tell me, who is it?" The emperor asked anxiously when he heard Liang Junhao found out the person behind his assassination.
At this time, in the court, Prince of Yan Xie Shuoran and Crown Prince Xie Wenbo were uneasy and restless when they heard that the person behind the scenes had been found.
