Xiao Yang had just returned home when the imperial edict from the palace arrived!
The visitor was the Emperor's chief eunuch, Eunuch Wang!
The Emperor said that the imperial edict could be handed directly to Xiao Yang and did not need to be read aloud in public!
Xiao Yang understood the Emperor's meaning. After all, the old lady lived in his house, and the imperial edict required everyone in the family to come out and receive it. What if the old lady was there? So it was best not to announce the edict!
Xiao Yang took the imperial edict and headed towards the gold nuggets. He knew without looking that she and the old lady must be there, since that was the only place with any excitement to watch. He just wondered if Song Yan'er would regret it when she saw so many gold nuggets!
Little did Xiao Yang know that Song Yan'er had already regretted it when she saw the gold nuggets that morning, and now, looking at the boxes and boxes of gold nuggets, she was filled with remorse!
From afar, I could see my cousin, the old lady, and Song Yan'er whispering to each other, I couldn't tell what they were talking about!
The moment Song Yan'er saw Xiao Yang, her face lit up with a smile! It made Xiao Yang feel as if he were basking in the warmth of a spring breeze!
Xiao Yang was filled with emotion. He had never cared so much about his face until he learned the truth about being chosen in Dongquan City. Xiao Yang was truly grateful to Bai Yang and General Xiao for giving him a face that Song Yan'er could see at first glance!
"Husband, you're back so soon! The Fourth Prince just arrived!"
"Well, has the imperial edict been brought?"
When the old lady saw Xiao Yang, she immediately asked the question that she was most concerned about!
"Of course, Grandma's name carries a lot of weight!"
As he spoke, he took out an imperial edict from behind his back!
I was originally going to show off a bit, but to my surprise, the old lady decisively took the imperial edict and started reading it!
Xiao Yang...
I should have checked this first!
The old lady said: "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that because Xiao Yang's wife, Song Yan'er, is both beautiful and talented, intelligent and virtuous, and well-educated, she has won my heart. Therefore, she is hereby granted the title of Princess Fuxi and the fief of Yongsheng City. This is my decree!"
The old lady exclaimed excitedly, "Fuxi, what a wonderful title! Usually, the words 'Western Shu' aren't used in titles, but since the Emperor has given it to you, it means he values you highly! And Yongsheng City, what a prosperous place! I've been there many years ago, and it truly is a wonderful place!"
The old lady looked at Song Yan'er with an expression that said, "You've hit the jackpot!" This made Song Yan'er, who had been calm, excited as well!
Xiao Yang immediately understood what Princess Fuxi meant! Bringing good fortune to Western Shu—simple and direct, but it must be said, this title is truly excellent!
The old lady and Song Yan'er stared at the imperial edict together, as if they could see something amazing in it!
Xiao Yang was speechless: It's one thing for Song Yan'er to be a princess, that's her imperial decree to be conferred the title of princess, so she has to take a good look at it and keep it safe. But old lady, is it really necessary? You used to be the one who drafted the imperial decrees, why are you acting so agitated now!
Xiao Yang looked at the two of them with a smile:
"Since you're so happy, let me give you another surprise!"
As they spoke, the two stared intently at Xiao Yang, waiting for the surprise he would reveal!
"Smack!"
Xiao Yang slammed the land deed that the eunuch Wang, who had just delivered the imperial edict, had given him onto the table next to him!
Song Yan'er was even more excited. To be honest, she preferred something more substantial than a princess!
Of course, now that we have fiefdoms, it's still very appealing!
Song Yan'er walked up to Xiao Yang: "Husband, is it the thing I'm thinking about?"
Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Otherwise what!"
Song Yan'er was overjoyed to receive Xiao Yang's affirmative answer!
Wow, it's amazing! I have to say, it seems like my luck has become exceptionally good ever since I came to this ancient era! I don't know why, but Song Yan'er always felt that it might be related to the fact that I'm a time traveler!
Song Yan'er took the land deeds from Xiao Yang and counted them. There were actually five estates. Although none of them were very big, the largest estate was only about a thousand acres. But this was the capital city, which was completely different from Dongquan City!
Song Yan'er grew happier and happier as she looked at the situation! Although there was no rush to start farming, everything needed to be prepared. If they couldn't even buy a farm, what else could they talk about? So this had solved Song Yan'er's immediate problem!
Song Yan'er looked at the old lady and Xiao Yang and said, "From now on, I will grow fruit for you to eat. You can tell me what you want to eat, and I can grow it for you. There is nothing I can't grow!"
It's hard to say about Song Yan'er in other areas. But when it comes to farming, Song Yan'er doesn't need to be modest at all; even Peking duck wouldn't allow it!
The old lady thought for a moment, then looked at the fourth prince directing the movement of gold nuggets in the distance:
"Ah Yuan, come here for a second!"
As soon as Xiao Yuan heard the old lady's voice, he immediately handed over what he was doing to someone else and ran over!
Because it wasn't far, they quickly arrived in front of the old lady.
"Grandma, is something the matter?"
The old lady looked at Xiao Yuan with a kind expression:
"Ah Yuan, would you like to eat some of the things grown on Song Yan'er's estate? I think you know very well what they taste like!"
Without a second thought, Xiao Yuan knew the answer was definitely yes. After all, he had often gone to the neighbor's house for meals back in Dongquan City. But now that he was in the capital, the two houses were quite far apart, and the other princes were not very stable recently, so Xiao Yuan was very busy!
If Xiao Yang hadn't been so confident that he would pass the imperial examination and therefore needed to prepare for it, Xiao Yuan would have already pulled him over to help him!
There was no other way; the imperial examination was extremely important, and he didn't want to waste Xiao Yang's time! After all, Xiao Yang had a very high chance of becoming the top scholar!
Therefore, the Fourth Prince did not know that Xiao Yang was actually just keeping Song Yan'er company at home and doing some things for her, and had not prepared anything related to the palace examination!
I wonder if the Fourth Prince would be furious if he knew!
"certainly!"
Xiao Yuan gave an affirmative answer!
The old lady and Song Yan'er exchanged a glance, and Song Yan'er saw the excitement in the old lady's eyes!
Song Yan'er was still wondering what the old lady was so excited about when she heard the old lady's voice!
"Since you like it too, there's a problem now: we don't have any estates for Yan'er to grow food for us. So, I remember you have quite a few good estates, right? Could you give two of them to Yan'er? Let me tell you, if Yan'er pockets these gold nuggets, she could probably buy a lot of estates! So, understand?"
Xiao Yuan thought about what the old lady said and agreed without any hesitation!
He understood what the old lady meant. Regardless of who ultimately benefited from the gold nuggets, Song Yan'er had discovered them, informed him, and given them all to him. He was determined to repay this favor!
