Chapter 929: Reward

The owner regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Why was he so conflicted? Even if he did not visit Princess Shaoyi, he could still see her elegance from afar!

Now, he couldn’t see anything.

Although Yu Youyao kept a low profile along the way, before she returned to the Yu Garden, news of Princess Shaoyi being incognito outside Xiangping City still spread.

For a moment, the entire city of Xiangping was shocked.

The commoners seemed to have nothing to do. They ran to the city gate and craned their necks to stare at the passing carriages.

During this period of time, the Han family’s case in Xi’an had caused an uproar. There were not many carriages coming and going from Xiangping City. No matter how low-key the princess’s carriage was, the materials and patterns of the carriage were all meticulous. Therefore, as soon as Yu Youyao’s carriage entered the city, it was recognized by sharp-eyed people.

Someone shouted, “This is Princess Shaoyi’s carriage. Princess Shaoyi has returned to the city in casual clothes…”

Immediately, it was as if a stone caused a thousand ripples.

The commoners cheered excitedly. “Princess Shaoyi, Princess Shaoyi, Princess

Shaoyi…”

Yu Youyao had never expected that she would cause such a commotion after leaving the city in a low profile manner. Faced with the simple and enthusiastic commoners congested at the city gate, she really couldn’t remain indifferent.

She could only stop the carriage and let Xia Tao negotiate with the surrounding commoners. “The Princess already knows everyone’s support for her. Please make way. Don’t block the city gate and block the other commoners from entering and leaving. It will also cause pressure on the soldiers guarding the city gate…”

Although the commoners were excited, they were also willing to listen to Xia Tao and give in. However, their enthusiasm and cheers for the princess did not decrease at all.

Yu Youyao was also grateful for the commoners’ cooperation and took the initiative to lift the curtain.

The commoners took the initiative to follow the carriage all the way. It wasn’t until the carriage entered the Yu Garden that the commoners gradually dispersed.

After returning to the Yu Garden, Yu Youyao still had lingering fears. “The commoners of Liaodong are too enthusiastic. This lineup is really a little too much. I’ll try my best to go out less in the future!”

Actually, it was not surprising that the commoners had such a big reaction. It was just that Yu Youyao usually stayed in the Yu Garden and rarely left. She was too low-key. Occasionally, she would go out and try her best to arrive early to avoid the crowd. There were also guards with knives accompanying her. Even when the commoners saw her, they would only admire her from the side, not daring to cause too much commotion.

Now, not only was Princess Shaoyi using her actions to fulfill her original intention of coming to the North, but she had even benefited the commoners. The commoners really felt Princess Shaoyi’s kindness and gratitude to her.

Yu Youyao’s reputation was also different from before.

The next day, the reward from the Imperial Court arrived at Xiangping City.

The eunuch who had come to deliver the reward was Eunuch Li, Eunuch Zhu’s most capable subordinate. As the reward this time was given by the Imperial Court and the royal family, she was accompanied by the emperor’s carriage. There were more than a hundred people in total, in addition to a hundred imperial guards. They rushed towards Xiangping.

Therefore, before the group arrived, Yu Youyao heard the news. She sent someone to tidy up the courier station again and sent someone to keep an eye on the city gate.

As soon as Eunuch Li and the others entered the city, they saw a green-clothed servant nod and bow. “Lords, it’s been a long journey. I’m a servant in the Yu Garden who’s in charge of running errands. When the Princess found out that the Imperial Court had given her a reward, she specially ordered me to come to the city gate to wait for you.”

This servant was Old Madam Sun’s grandson, Sun Changgui. He was in charge of running errands and gathering information in the outer courtyard.

Although this job was difficult, only servants who were deeply trusted by their masters could represent the masters of the residence. It was very dignified to be sent out to do an errand.

As Sun Changgui spoke, he handed over the identity token of the Yu Garden. He was smart and likable, and he was eloquent. In just a few words, he explained his identity and the reason for his visit. His words were also beautiful.

When everyone heard this, they knew that the princess valued Eunuch Li and the others who had come from afar.

The centurion of the imperial guards, who was in charge of guarding the carriage, took the token and looked at it. The words “Yu Garden” were engraved on the front, and the words “Princess” and “Saint Venerable” were engraved on the left and right sides. It was Princess Shaoyi’s title.

After confirming the authenticity of the token, the centurion did not dare to be negligent. “Wait a moment.”

With that, he turned around and handed the token to the person in the carriage.

After a while, a pair of fair hands reached out from the carriage and handed the token back to the centurion. A feminine voice sounded. “Come forward and be obedient! ”

The centurion took the token and agreed. He returned to the front of the ceremonial envoy and handed the token back to Sun Changgui.

Sun Changgui quickly took the token and thanked him. He did not dare to delay and came to the carriage. He bowed and cupped his hands. “Greetings,

Eunuch Li.”

A young eunuch immediately lifted the curtain.

Eunuch Li looked to be in his thirties. He was wearing vermillion clothes of a eunuch and was sitting upright in the carriage. He held a golden peony cup in his hand and was lowering his head, sipping his tea casually.

Seeing Sun Changgui standing respectfully outside the carriage, he unhurriedly put down his teacup and raised his eyes. “Thank you for your painstaking arrangements. Please thank you on my behalf.”

Sun Changgui quickly said, “The courier station has already been arranged.

Eunuch, it’s been a long journey, so you’ll have to go to the courier station to stay first.”

Eunuch Li quickly thanked him.

With just a few words, Sun Changgui had an idea. Eunuch Li looked arrogant, but his attitude towards the princess was very humble.

Sun Changgui led the ceremonial envoy sent by the Imperial Court to the courier station.

There were a total of twelve carriages, and the accompanying palace maids and eunuchs were holding up yellow flags. Anyone with a little discernment would know what was going on.

For a moment, the entire Xiangping City was in an uproar.

On the surface, Eunuch Li was here to give a reward, but it was not just to give a reward. After this job was over, he still had to return to the capital to report to the nobles in the palace.

The nobles in the palace wanted to know and hear some things from him. This was the real purpose of the trip.

If the nobles were dissatisfied, no matter how efficient the job was, his painstaking journey would be in vain.

Therefore, he deliberately slowed down along the way and paid special attention to the commotion outside. The commoners spoke at once.

Eunuch Li also listened.

Princess Shaoyi had joined forces with the individual silkworm farmers and foreign merchants to pressure the nobles and resolve the situation of the nobles controlling the silkworm business and bullying the silkworm farmers. She had also revalued the prices of the silkworm industry.

Princess Shaoyi advised the Bai Residence to be kind and join forces with the medicinal herb merchants in the Bai Residence and Liaodong to lower the price of medicine so that the commoners could afford it. As a result, it led to other nobles and affected the prices of other items in the North..
