"Mother, mother, save me, save me..." Su Baixi didn't give up yet, shouting frantically. Her usual dignified, elegant, and decent image was gone, and she was just like a crazy woman!
"Crazy, crazy!" Su Buqing shook her head sadly.
The eldest lady seemed to have had all the strength drained from her body, and fell weakly to the ground. Everyone stood there, not daring to move.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Before Su Baixi was dragged away, the voice of the palace eunuch came from outside.
Imperial decree? Su Buqing couldn't help but tremble in her heart. What imperial decree will come at this time?
Could it be that since he abandoned the Sixth Prince, will the Emperor issue an imperial edict to punish him?
He suddenly felt that staying in Da Qin would mean death, but returning to Da Zhou would be worse than death. Such a life of constant vigilance made him as frightened as a bird.
Su Yueming naturally saw his nervous expression in her eyes, and her eyes suddenly moved. She wanted this effect, making Su Buqing live in fear and uncertainty all the time.
After a while, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict came in. He glanced at the people in front of him with an arrogant expression——
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor." The old lady and Su Buqing knelt down together with everyone.
"Su Yueming accepts the order!" a high-pitched voice sounded.
Su Yueming immediately took a step forward, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, Su Yueming, accepts the order. Long live the Emperor."
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Su Yueming, the third young lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, has a humble and respectful character and good moral conduct... I am specially granted the title of Princess Duorong. I appreciate this..."
What? Su Yueming was actually made a princess? This... In history, no minister's daughter has been made a princess. This means that from now on, Su Yueming is already the emperor's daughter.
Su Yueming's eyes also showed a look of surprise. She understood that this was the prince's efforts in front of the emperor. He had said that he would give her better protection and give her a title, but she did not expect such a high title.
Princess!
How did he do it? How could the emperor agree?
The title of princess is much higher than the rank of eldest lady. Even if Su Buqing saw her, he would lower his head and call her princess.
Eunuch Li, the eunuch who delivered the edict, handed the imperial edict to her with a smile and said, "Princess Duorong, please accept the edict."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor." Su Yueming took the imperial edict with both hands.
Su Yueming received the reward, and the old lady looked happy.
Su Baixi over there saw it, but she shook her head unwillingly and said, "No, it's impossible, why, why should she be the princess? Why? I am qualified, I am the most beautiful daughter-in-law of the prime minister's house.
Su Yueming, this little bitch, why should she?"
After hearing this, Eunuch Li frowned and said, "Prime Minister, is the eldest lady in your mansion questioning the emperor's decision?"
"No, no, no..." Su Buqing said quickly, "Father-in-law, please don't misunderstand me. I definitely didn't mean it like this. I made my father-in-law laugh."
"Hurry up and drag this lunatic down!" the old lady said sternly. She was afraid that Su Baixi, an idiot who had lost his mind, would say something disrespectful to the emperor!
Su Buqing winked at the housekeeper, and soon a box was handed into Eunuch Li's hand. Su Buqing patted the box and said, "Please accept it, Eunuch-in-law."
Feeling the heavy box in his hand, Eunuch Li's face relaxed and he said, "The Prime Minister is so lucky. There is an additional princess in the mansion. This is a living Bodhisattva who can keep the Prime Minister safe."
That’s right!
Now that Su Yueming is the princess, to a certain extent, like Concubine Zhen, she can protect the prime minister's house.
"See Princess Duorong." Everyone knelt down one by one and shouted in unison.
Eunuch Li said a few more polite words before returning to the palace to resume his duties.
Su Yueming walked to the old lady and took the old lady from Su Ying's hand. She glanced at Su Ying with grateful eyes. Su Ying nodded to her, and the two of them had a silent communication.
"Everyone, go down." The old man waved his hand, and everyone stood up and left silently.
