All Hail Cousin Brother

Eunuch Li was extra special. He emphasized the word "long" by one word, and his tone was full of respect.

Yu Youyao lowered her eyebrows and quickly raised her hands above her head.

Satisfied, Eunuch Li rolled up the Queen Mother's Yizhi and carefully put it into Princess Shao Yichang's hands.

Yu Youyao held the imperial edict high and bowed respectfully, saying in a respectful voice: "My maiden, Yu Youyao, I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor for His great grace and to the Queen Mother for her grace."

Eunuch Li looked at Princess Shao Yichang and sighed.

The Empress Dowager really took great pains to promote Princess Shao Yichang to the title. In order to avoid the title of "Princess Shao Yichang" being tarnished, she bumped into the title "Princess Chang Shao Yichang", the daughter of the Empress Dowager, and deliberately The word "Zhao" was added to the title, indicating that the title of Princess Shaoyi followed that of Princess Tianjia.

So no one said anything more.

It's a small title, but it has a lot of profound meaning.

After announcing Yi's decree, Eunuch Li took the list of rewards and read out: "The Empress Dowager bestows upon Princess Shaoyi a phoenix box carved with golden silk, dark wood and inlaid with precious stones..."

Yu Youyao immediately fell in love with it. Among the items given in the palace, the most precious ones were always placed first.

The gloomy golden nan wood is a royal wood. There are certain regulations according to the grade. If it exceeds the limit, it will be punished as "transgress", and it is rarely given in the palace.

In addition to 50,000 acres of fertile land, there were countless tributes, all of which were priceless. The Queen Mother also gave many extra things from her private treasury.

After a while, rewards came one after another, and the front hall was quickly filled to the brim.

Yu Youyao quickly thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness.

However, this is not over yet.

Eunuch Li's mouth became dry after reading, so he took a breath and said again: "The Queen, I learned that Princess Chang has worked hard and made great achievements in promoting national policies in Liaodong, and she has also suffered a lot of grievances. I praise Princess Chang for her understanding of righteousness. Yi is virtuous and kind, lives up to his family and the court, and has prepared a reward for the princess..."

Yu Youyao was a little surprised.

Then, I heard Eunuch Li begin to read out the list of rewards: "The Queen has given to Princess Shaoyi, a pair of emeralds and jade, and a jade tree in Lantian Mountain..."

Afterwards, the maids and maids carried boxes of things into the hall.

Yu Youxiao became numb.

The Queen Mother's reward is only a little less than the reward in the Queen Mother's private treasury, but the value of the items is actually still higher than that of the Queen Mother.

The entire hall was filled to the brim with water.

Even someone as rich as Xie Mansion can't help but feel dizzy.

I remembered that when I went out to greet Eunuch Li and his entourage, more than a dozen carriages, plus the Emperor's Luan ceremonials, stretched for several miles along the street.

Yu Youyao quickly thanked the Queen for her kindness, and then stood up.

After the two sides handed over the rewards, Eunuch Li said again: "The princess's crown is a big deal and it will take a long time. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is stepping up its supervision. It will take about more than a month to complete. When the crown is completed, our family will Send someone else to deliver it, and please ask the princess to wait for a while."

The regulations for the crown and attire of the "Princess Princess" are only lower than that of the Empress. The green crown on her head must also be replaced by a three-hole seven-phoenix crown with twelve phoenixes (pronounced Tonghui) and four phoenix crowns.

Hui is a colorful pheasant, two colors less than the colorful phoenix, and its status is second only to the phoenix.

In the Zhou Dynasty, except for the queen who could wear dragon and phoenix crowns, the rest of the harem, concubines, princesses and clan members could only wear phoenixes with phoenixes. The number of phoenixes depended on their status.

The nine-hui and four-phoenix crowns are the ceremonial crown regulations for princes and concubines.

The twelve-hui and four-phoenix crown is a regulation only for the title of "chief". The corresponding craftsmanship of the crown and clothing is completely different from that of the princess.

This is still a conservative estimate. Everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has stepped up the work, and the time is still tight.

It's just that they, the servants in the palace, never say things to the death.

Yu Youyao quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your help, Eunuch Li. There are still many security issues in Xiangping area. I won't be able to return to Beijing for a while, so I won't have a chance to wear it. It's okay to wait a while."

Eunuch Li's smile relaxed and he understood a little: "Princess Chang has worked hard and accomplished a lot. Our family really admires her."

He took a boat all the way from the Beijing Canal to Liancheng Wharf in Liao Province.

After landing, I stayed at Liancheng Station for two days, then changed to a carriage, and while inquiring about the news, I headed to Xiangping, stopping and stopping along the way.

As far as he knows, there are still a group of refugees in the Longcheng Internment Camp who have not been resettled, and the last batch of sweet potatoes will not be successfully planted until after the Dragon Boat Festival.

The large-scale promotion of sweet potato cultivation is going smoothly.

However, the sweet potatoes have just been planted now, and there are still five or six months until the sweet potato harvest. There are still many things to do, and Princess Shao Yichang cannot return to Beijing now.

Yu Youyao smiled and said: "I eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor. Although I am a female generation and I am weak, the whole family has received the emperor's favor and inherited the great grace from heaven. I have inherited the family's etiquette, laws and principles since I was a child. , I don’t dare to disgrace my family, bring shame to my family, and bring disgrace to my ancestors.”

Eunuch Li was very satisfied.

Yu Youyao greeted Eunuch Li to eat something and drank some tea. Eunuch Li then left and said, "Tomorrow morning, our family is going to send the Queen Mother a gift. Thank you for your praise and reward. You have been waiting so long!"

Old Master Xie looked flattered again and quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."

Before leaving, Yu Youyao arranged rich gifts and ordered them to be delivered to Mr. Li's bus in advance.

The family sent Eunuch Li and his entourage out of the house respectfully and politely, and then heaved a sigh of relief as they watched Eunuch Li and his entourage drift away.

Return to the front room.

Mr. Xie dismissed his servants and asked someone to guard the door. Then he asked: "Xiao Yao'er, have you received any news earlier about the imperial court conferring the title of Princess Princess on you?"

Xiangping and Jingli are not far apart, and the news can be delivered quickly, depending on the speed of the whipping. It can usually be delivered in three to five days.

The matter of adding titles and rewards has always been decided by the Queen Mother after discussion by the cabinet. If the court wants to grant titles and rewards, news will definitely come out early in the morning.

Xiangping can also hear the news later.

Yu Youyao shook his head: "Two days ago, I received a letter from the Yu clan, saying that the imperial court wanted to reward me with something, but there was no mention of a seal."

The Yu clan may not have known about this before.

Mr. Xie felt a little uneasy: "It seems that the sealing was only done after Mr. Ye asked for your merit and sent it to the capital?"

In addition to asking for merit for Xiao Yao'er, Yezhou Mansion also submitted case files related to the Han clan.

These case files have been tried, and the evidence is conclusive. It is probably the Han family who framed Xiao Yao'er, killed Liu Dagen, blamed the White House, perfunctory national policies, etc.

The remaining charges are still under trial.

No action is being taken for now.

Mr. Xie nodded: "80% yes."

Yu Youyao said: "I just noticed that when Eunuch Li announced the decree, his tone was obviously surprised. I'm afraid the sealing matter was not discussed by the cabinet."
