After experiencing so many things, at this moment, what all the guests were thinking had nothing to do with the birthday banquet.
Unexpectedly, the Li family is so secretive. I don’t know when they have stepped into the royal family behind the scenes. The eldest grandson who has been away from home for twenty years seems to have a lot of friendship with the prince and even the princess.
Is the matter really just that Li's eldest son eloped with someone else? Is there any other hidden secret?
After tonight, what kind of actions will the Chen family, who has always had a grudge against the Li family, do?
When Chen Yue was banished from the capital, was it the Li family who was behind it?
What happened tonight was so exciting that it was far beyond their expectations. A group of guests were brainstorming. The face of the housekeeper, Mrs. Fang, had turned from gloomy to pale. Behind her cheap nephew who had no background, suddenly
Standing on the prince and the princess, she changed from looking down to looking up. The psychological gap was so huge that it was like falling from heaven to hell. Even though there was her mother's family behind her, she still felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
When Ms. Fang was sitting on her seat in a daze, her eyes were blank, the guard of the princess's palace looked at Li Yi with a smile and asked: "The princess asked me to ask Master Li about the congratulatory gift from the princess's palace.
Are you satisfied, Master?"
Li Yi had to admit that although Li Xuan and Li Mingzhu would indeed bring some trouble to him, it was still the most suitable method.
Ever since he met the Miss Chen family that day, Li Yi knew that there would be no room for change for the Chen family and the Li family in the future. He could go back to Qing'an Mansion, and the Li family's hands would not be able to reach there, but
The Li family in the capital will face revenge from the government of their country. There is a huge disparity in strength between the two families. It is obvious that the Li family will not be the one to persevere to the end.
A prince and a princess should be enough to make the Chen family fearful. The bigger the family, the more scruples they have. They will not offend anyone they cannot afford to offend just for this matter.
With his worries solved, Li Yi looked at the man and asked again: "What else did the princess say?"
The man smiled and said: "The princess also said that it is impossible to realize all the rewards Mr. Li wants, so it is okay to give a discount."
"Discount?" Li Yi's face showed confusion: "What do you mean?"
"This ------ Your Highness the Princess didn't say anything." The man shook his head and said, "Your Highness only said these two sentences. For the rest, Young Master Li should ask His Highness next time."
While I was wondering what Li Mingzhu's words meant, there was a sudden commotion in front of me, and the next moment, most of the guests stood up.
Li Yi raised his eyebrows, "No way, are you still coming?"
Counting on his fingers, apart from the old monk, Li Xuan, and Li Mingzhu, he really didn't know anyone in the capital. There was so much movement in front of him, could it be that the Chen family came to cause trouble?
Unless the entire Chen family is crazy, the majestic Duke of the country would not do such a shameless thing. Li Yi had thousands of thoughts in his mind until he heard the high-pitched and thin voice, "Where is Li Yi?"
"Why don't you come out quickly to receive the order?" His face suddenly turned pale.
It's over, everything is over...
If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being noticed by thieves. It is not a good thing to be noticed by the king of a country. Li Yi sat down on the chair and had the urge to let Ruyi take him and fly out from here immediately.
Without anyone's instructions, everyone immediately stood up from their seats and stood on both sides to form a passage. The end of the passage was where Li Yi was.
Two eunuchs who delivered the order walked along the passage with their heads held high and said in a high-pitched voice: "Li County Lieutenant, please accept the order."
Li Yi raised his head and saw the two familiar eunuchs again.
"What are you still doing? Kneel down and receive the order!" Li Mingze walked over quickly and urged.
The situation was stronger than his own. Li Yi had no choice but to bend his knees. Everyone present, including his second uncle Li Mingze and the old lady, all knelt down. The little fat man didn't know why, so he raised his head and looked around. Soon
He was pressed down by his own mother.
"The imperial edict says: Li Yi, Lieutenant of Anxi County, improved torture, made horseshoes, invented cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and wound suturing techniques, benefited the common people, and blessed all the people. He offered the divine retribution from heaven, defeated the Qi army, and contributed to the expansion of the territory.
.... I have made you the son of Chang'an County. I am honored and honored. I am forever bestowed with the favor of God. I am so proud of you."
[Note: This Chang'an is not that Chang'an. I really can't think of a better name.]
The eunuch who delivered the order said a lot of convoluted words, and Li Yi understood the first and last few sentences. The main idea was that he had done so many things before, and the credit was all saved for him. This time, he will be rewarded together.
Don't leave Anxi County, and don't go back to Qing'an Prefecture. The emperor allocated a piece of land in Chang'an County, and Li Yi will stay there as a small county magistrate from now on, and truly enter the ranks of the nobility.
Chang'an County is adjacent to Kyoto, and maybe Li Yi could see the city wall from his fiefdom. The Duke was transformed into a county prince, and he didn't mention tens of thousands of gold, nor did he mention thousands of hectares of fertile land. This discount was a bit big.
At this moment, Li Yi's mood calmed down. After all, His Majesty the Emperor knew that he was not destined to be an official. He just wanted him to be a social worm under his nose with peace of mind. In fact, he had known for a long time that such a day would come, and he had never been able to do so.
I'm so willing to face it, but I'm afraid I won't be able to escape it this time.
A smile appeared on the eunuch's face and he said: "Master Li, please accept the order."
Seeing that Li Yi had no reaction, Li Mingze suppressed the shock in his heart, tugged on his sleeve, and whispered: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and accept the order."
The eunuch who delivered the order respectfully handed the imperial edict to Li Yi and said: "Your Majesty has spoken, and it has been announced that County Prince Li will enter the palace tomorrow morning. Someone from the palace will be sent to pick you up early tomorrow morning."
The eunuch who conveyed the order came and went as quickly as he came, leaving behind a few items such as his royal robes and other items, and simply left the Li family, incidentally ruining the old lady's birthday party.
Nowadays, no one cares about the old lady's birthday. Li's parents and grandson have been knighted by His Majesty. The title of Chang'an County Prince and Li Mingze, the head of the Li family, is just that of County Prince.
Jingguo's title is not awarded except for military merit. This is the first time in recent years that His Majesty has made an exception. What kind of luck did the Li family have? After so many years of decline, is it finally starting to rise?
Everyone had just heard the descriptions in the imperial edict, and they were extremely unfamiliar with those descriptions. However, His Majesty did not hesitate to praise and praise his contribution. There is no way this matter is false...
"congratulations……"
"One family and two nobles, congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to Mr. Li..."
"Young Master Li has been favored by the Holy Spirit at such a young age, and his future is limitless."
------

When the turbulence in his heart calmed down, everyone came forward to congratulate him. The smile on the old lady's face was brighter than ever before. Although Li Mingze was still shocked, he could not hide the smile on his face.
"Prince of Chang'an County, Prince of Chang'an County..." Sitting on a seat behind everyone, Fang murmured to himself, his face turned pale.
