Lady Xie Yushu of Jingde Township is a loyal and righteous person. She presented the court with glassmaking methods and the latest weapon blueprints, which benefited the country and the people. This is a great achievement, and I am very pleased. Therefore, I hereby promote Lady Xie Yushu of Jingde Township to the rank of First-Rank Princess Jingde and bestow upon her a princess's mansion and 1,000 mu of fertile land.
"By imperial decree"
"Your subject thanks Yu Shu for accepting the imperial decree and expresses gratitude for Your Majesty's great favor!"
After Xie Yushu received the imperial decree, Aunt Su immediately slipped a purse to Eunuch Liu and greeted him.
"How have you been lately, Eunuch Liu? It's been over two years since we last met, and you still look as dashing as ever!"
Upon seeing that it was Aunt Su, Eunuch Liu smiled knowingly.
"No wonder Princess Jingde's etiquette and manners were impeccable when she first entered the palace; it turns out you were by her side!"
"It's just that the princess thinks highly of me; I will naturally serve her with all my might!"
"Yes! It's your good fortune to be with the princess!"
After exchanging greetings, Eunuch Liu explained...
"The mansion bestowed by the Emperor is the former residence of the Fifth Princess of the late Emperor. After the Fifth Princess went to Nanzhao for a marriage alliance, the mansion was returned to the royal family and has been unoccupied ever since. The palace has now sent people to repair it, but the Princess will have to wait a while longer."
Xie Yushu smiled
"It's alright. I just moved here anyway, and I'd like to rest for a while first. Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Liu!"

The group following Xie Yushu all stood up to congratulate her, especially the newcomers, who were pleasantly surprised and felt their status had risen rapidly!
Thanks to Eunuch Liu's deliberate promotion, the news that Xie Yushu had jumped from a village lady to a county princess spread like wildfire throughout the capital in just two days!
People came to offer their congratulations, bring gifts, and try to build connections.
