Not to mention others, even Yao Anxin herself felt as if she was in a dream when she received the imperial edict.
She was actually granted the title of Country Lord?!
How can this be?
Is it her father’s contribution, or the old lady...
Yao Anxin suddenly realized that it must have been done by the old lady.
The old lady had said before that she should leave them alone and she had her own arrangements.
So, is the old lady requesting an imperial edict for her?
Yao Anxin's eyes instantly moistened. She didn't know what price Gu Qingling paid. She only knew that the old lady must have made an exchange with the royal family, otherwise Emperor Mingguang would not have suddenly made her the village monarch.
"Old lady..."
After the eunuch who announced the decree left, Yao Anxin walked up to Gu Qingling and kowtowed heavily, "Thank you. It's my granddaughter who failed to live up to your expectations. My granddaughter made you worry..."
There was a smile on Gu Qingling's face: "Don't worry, you are my granddaughter, I should take care of you and protect you. Okay, get up, the ground is cold, little girls should kneel less."
He stepped forward and pulled Yao Anxin up.
The rest of the Yao family were also pleasantly surprised.
Uncle Yao and Mrs. Yao were so happy that they didn't know what to say. With this imperial edict, who would dare to say bad things about Yao Anxin when she returns to Beijing?
The Nineteenth Prince beat Yao Anxin, but as soon as the imperial edict came out, it became clear who made the mistake.
What's more, Yao Anxin is still the "village prince". Maybe she has to salute in front of a real princess, but in front of the daughter of an ordinary minister...
I'm sorry, but it was not common in the Ming Dynasty to have rural kings who enjoyed food.
"Old lady, thank you!"
"Old lady, I'm sorry for your trouble!"
…
Mrs. Yao Er also came forward to congratulate her, saying that now the sister-in-law could rest assured that with the title, outsiders would not dare to bully Sister Xin casually.
However, only Yao Anxin got a title, but her daughter Yao Anling didn't get anything, which somewhat made Mrs. Yao feel a little bit unhappy.
Afterwards, she muttered to Mr. Yao: "Tell me, we are both granddaughters. Why is the old lady so partial? She only saw Sister Xin being bullied, but she didn't look at Sister Ling. The same goes for Sister Ling."
She is a grandson..."
Second Master Yao was a little helpless: "It's good to get a title, what else do you want? Do you really think that title is a cabbage in the field, just for our Yao family to pick? Although I don't know what sister Xin's title is.
How did it come about, but my mother must have paid something, I just don’t know what it was.”
"I know, I'm just worried that the old lady will be partial and give everything to the first bedroom. Then our second bedroom will be miserable..." Mrs. Yao Er said, "You and your eldest brother are different. Your eldest brother is now
In the capital, although your official position is not high, you are still serving as an errand in the Hanlin Academy, a close minister of the emperor, and you may show your face someday. When it comes to you... When will your errand be fulfilled? Do you think you can become a high official?
?”
"Uh..." Mr. Yao choked.
How can he be a high-ranking official if he is a martial arts scholar? At most, he can just hang out and make a living.
Didn't we agree at the beginning that he had a reputation and it would be good to live a casual life? Why did Mrs. Yao Er have other thoughts?
When Mrs. Yao Er saw his expression, she didn't know what he was thinking. She said helplessly: "I don't dislike you. What I mean is that the eldest house is getting better and better, and the eldest brother can still do it."
In a few years, when Brother Shou and Brother Kang grow up, they will definitely be in the capital in the future. It’s unmistakable... But what about our second bedroom? What does our second bedroom have?"
Second Master Yao said: "Didn't we agree that the second wife is counting on Brother Hong?"
Mrs. Yao Er was shocked: "You are not waiting for Brother Hong to raise you now, are you? Master, you are still so young, Brother Hong is still so young, he is still studying, he is not married yet...and...
, have you ever thought about what kind of wife Brother Hong will be able to marry in the future, since you have done no good deeds at all now?"
Mr. Yao finally understood. Mrs. Yao said she didn't dislike it, but in fact she still felt a little "disgusted" in her heart.
It's just that this kind of "dislike" is not dislike or dislike, it's greed and insufficiency, and it's always thinking that he can do better.
But……
Doesn’t he know how much he weighs?
If it weren't for the medicinal bath that the old lady gave him, if it weren't for Mr. Zhao who hired such a good martial arts master, if it weren't for...
Now he may not even be able to pass the martial arts examination.
Speaking of the latter, Mrs. Yao Er didn't want to explain. She directly confessed that she was jealous and bitter.
"We are both granddaughters, how can the old lady be partial?"
"...Isn't Sister Ling still young? Besides, Sister Xin is in a special situation. The old lady went to ask for that imperial edict to protect Sister Xin. You can tell yourself, when you went out recently,
Have you heard a lot of people saying bad things about Sister Xin? How old is Sister Xin, and the marriage has not been decided yet. If it is not resolved quickly, what will Sister Xin do in the future?"
…
Not only Mrs. Yao's second wife was sour, but also Mrs. Yao's third wife was sour.
She knew that Mr. Yao was not Gu Qingling's biological son, so there would definitely be differences, but she still felt it was a pity when she saw that Yao Anxin, a girl, had been labeled "Township King" in her films.
Although I don’t know what the old lady exchanged for it, but if those things were exchanged for her son...
It is difficult for a concubine to get ahead, and Mr. Yao is like that, doting on his concubines and destroying his wife. He knows that he loves those concubines. How about she hurry up and get more benefits for her son while the old lady is still here?
When the old lady is no longer here, won’t Mr. Yao go to heaven?
By then, will there still be a place for her and her two sons to stand?
Second Master Yao: "..."
Do I want to pamper my concubine?
You keep nagging me about things all day long, and you always go against me. What else can I do?
Is it possible that I can still bravely spoil you?
Come on, I'm not a masochist. I don't need to put on gentle and considerate makeup and just go and pamper you, a yellow-faced woman.
Those who were good friends with the Yao family packed their gifts and came to the Yao family to congratulate them.
Sun Shangying even prepared a thoughtful gift by herself, congratulating Yao Anxin on becoming the "Xiangxiang". A really good friend will only hope that she will get better and better; only those who are not sincere will be jealous and say mean things.
Yao Anxin looked at Sun Shangying who had a sincere face and was very happy that she had made such a good friend. However, she was going to the capital in a few days, but she didn't know when she would be able to come back.
She is getting older day by day, and the marriage cannot be postponed any longer. Coupled with the status of Xiangjun, this year I am afraid...
"It doesn't matter. You have your own way to go, and I have my own way to go. From now on, we can just write letters and keep in touch." Sun Shangying tilted her head, "If nothing else, at the end of this year, I'm sure
I can still see you."
"You will get married this year. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to participate." Yao Anxin held her hand.
Sun Shangying said: "But you have already given me the gift in advance. I like it very much."
She stepped forward and hugged Yao Anxin to comfort her.
Yao Anxin felt warm and caring. Although they were almost the same age, why did she feel that Sun Shangying was like a big sister and always liked to take care of her?
Sun Shangying said with a smile: "Because in my heart, you are my sister!"
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of warmth, and they were completely silent.
