“If the Wei Kingdom’s high-yield crops are real, I’m afraid that no one will be able to compete with them in the future,” another official said.
“Why don’t we agree with the Qing King’s plan and join forces with the other countries to attack the Wei Kingdom before it has fully developed?”
“This isn’t right. After all, we’re in cahoots with wolves. What if we get scammed?”
“I also heard that there are many capable people in Wei country. Otherwise, no one would have been able to take it down for so many years. If Qing Kingdom didn’t order people to poison it, they wouldn’t have been able to take down Yu
City.”
The ministers were all engaged in a heated discussion. The Third Prince, on the other hand, did not say anything. He sat on the stool with the same expression the entire time.
The crowd argued for a long time but could not come up with a plan. The Third Prince, on the other hand, looked at the letter in his hand thoughtfully.
It was the same for the Yi Kingdom and the Yin Kingdom. They were both shocked and afraid of the Wei Kingdom. They did not expect that the Wei Kingdom would have such strength. Therefore, the other kingdoms chose to wait and see.
Great Wei.
After the Emperor received the Crown Prince’s urgent letter, he laughed out loud. Yu City had been successfully taken back, and now the high-yield grain had been harvested. All that was left was to wait for the grain seeds to be sent to various places to be planted. Everything was getting better.
He was in a good mood and instructed eunuch Zhong, “Invite Princess Ding’an over! I want to invite her to a banquet!”
Princess Ding’an’s contribution was the greatest. The Emperor thought with a smile, not knowing what to reward her with.
It was impossible for him to have silver as Princess Ding’an had more money than him, so he would not go and humiliate himself. There were many pieces of jewelry and cloth, but he could not just give these as it would be too shabby.
The Emperor thought about it for a long time. Since he could not make Princess an official, he would make her family official.
With this thought in mind, he picked up his brush and began to write on the cloth scroll that was specially used to write imperial edicts.
The Imperial edict quickly followed Eunuch Zhong to the Princess’s Manor. Because it was Mother Jian’s birthday today, the whole family was present.
Seeing Eunuch Zhong’s arrival, Jian Qingqing was extremely surprised. One must know that Eunuch Zhong was the Emperor’s personal servant. He usually did not leave the palace easily.
“Eunuch Zhong, may I ask why the Emperor is looking for me?” she quickly stepped forward and asked respectfully.
Eunuch Zhong took out the imperial edict and said with a smile, “Princess
Ding’an, receive the decree.”
The whole family was a little surprised. They did not know why there was an imperial edict now. They all thought that Jian Qingqing had done something to get a reward, so they knelt down proudly.
Eunuch Zhong opened the imperial edict and read it out solemnly, “By the will of the heavens, the Emperor has announced that the mother of Princess Ding’an is a virtuous and virtuous woman… She’s a second-rank life executioner…”
Everyone was stunned. Although they did not understand many of the meanings behind this, they understood that Mother Jian had been given the title of second-rank life executioner.
Mother Jian was so shocked that she could not come back to her senses for a long time. She knelt there in a daze, not understanding what had happened. Why was she suddenly conferred a title by the Emperor?
“Madam Jian, please accept the decree!” Eunuch Zhong said with a smile.
“Oh, oh!”
Mother Jian quickly thanked him. “Thank you, My Lord! Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!”
Fortunately, she had opened a dessert shop after coming to the Capital. She had dealt with the madams of large families in the Capital and had developed courage. Otherwise, she would have been embarrassed now.
Eunuch Zhong handed the imperial edict to her, then turned to Jian Qingqing and said, “Princess Ding’an, the Emperor wants to invite you to a banquet tomorrow, do you have time?”
Jian Qingqing quickly nodded. “I’m free, I’ll definitely be there on time!”
As she spoke, she quickly took out a money bag and stuffed it into Eunuch Zhong’s hands..
