Chapter 240: Sealing the County Lord
Chapter 240: Princess
An imperial edict came from the palace again.
This is the fourth imperial edict from the Xue family and the third personal imperial edict from Xue Mei.
According to the law, everyone in the Xue family must dress up and kneel down and set up an incense table to receive the order.
Including Xue Yutan.
When the news came, the maids on the old lady hurriedly found her imperial court robbery.
"What did she do?" The old lady was extremely unhappy because the court uniforms and headwear were very heavy, and anyone who wore them was suffering.
The old lady would not be happy if Xue Mei received any reward, after all, she would not give it to the old lady.
No benefit can take up her.
Not as good as Yutan.
"I don't know." The maid served the old lady changing clothes, "I haven't heard that the county lord saved anyone again."
"Where is the second house?" the old lady asked again, "Is that ignorant son promoted again?"
The second master Xue Jingsheng is now the emperor's confidant.
The incident of the military assassin made Xue Jingsheng's prestige gain. Many people say that it was because the military assassin was too vicious that he pushed his niece to his niece, but it was actually created by himself.
Those who say these words are all civil servants.
Civil officials do not care about the combat effectiveness of the army. They just stand in a stable court and whirlwind.
And the soldiers were very interested in this.
"I have never heard of promotion." The maid said again.
The old lady sighed in annoyance.
When the old lady arrived at the front yard, Xue Mei had not arrived yet. Everyone in Yongning Hou’s Mansion was asking each other what Xue Mei had done and what kind of reward she received.
The eunuchs did not take a pallet, and this time it should not be rewarded with gold and silver.
The Hou of Yongning frowned.
He thought that Xue Mei had a close relationship with the two princes, so did he violate the royal taboo?
Did the emperor issue an imperial edict to scold her?
After all, in addition to rewards, imperial edicts can also be punished.
Xue Mei came soon.
The adult children of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion also came in and knelt down in the yard.
"The command said:..."
It's another command!
It's a reward!
The Marquis of Yongning breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then he didn't know what reward Xue Mei received.
The eunuchs who announced the edict this time spoke very slowly, while the imperial edict praised Xue Mei very long, such as "superior family, warm and grateful heart", "superior and wise, good and kind" and other nice words.
Xue Mei was also confused when she heard this and thought to herself: "Isn't it just to give me a reward article?"
Otherwise, why pile up so many words?
Is it good to show off the humanistic style of the Ministry of Rites?
The eunuch was slow to think about it, and the people below began to look up at him frequently, and found that it was not over yet.
"...I am the princess of Chengyang, Qin Zai." The eunuch said in a long voice.
Xue Mei: "It's finally over."
This was her first thought.
This eunuch is so good at torture, which led to Xue Mei not much joy when she heard that she was named Princess. She was only glad that she had finally finished reading.
Then, the joy of Princess Chengyang climbed into Xue Mei's heart.
"It's one year." She stepped forward to receive the order, respectfully thanking the Lord for his kindness, but thought in her heart, "I have realized my ideal in one year."
This step of promotion is not particularly fast.
In ancient times, she finally had a complete identity - just like an ordinary man, she could have an independent identity.
She is no longer a vassal of anyone. Apart from herself, only the emperor can make decisions for her, and no one else can force her to do so.
She can open a house in her own name, have her own private seal, buy land, and pay taxes in her name - she has the qualification to pay taxes, but other women do not.
Xue Mei took the imperial edict and finally felt that her back was hard.
The battle between the court and the gentry made her fisherman profit.
Xue Mei once complained that she had to pay tax on income. After all, she was just a miserable military doctor, not a rich second generation. Until today, she realized how valuable the legal identity that later women did not care much about was.
How many good things did she use? It took a year to get the identity that a normal man had.
Xue Mei gave the eunuch a wallet with a silver note of 1,000 taels in it.
This is her custom of rewarding people.
The eunuch smiled: "Congratulations to the princess!"
"It's the emperor's grace." Xue Mei smiled, "I'm working hard."
"I will return to the palace to report my life." The eunuch said, "The princess stayed."
The Marquis of Yongning and the Old Lady were very happy.
The princess is not a princess, she does not have a gold book and a gold treasure, but she has a jade certificate.
In addition to the jade letter, Dali Temple also has to give the princess a private seal.
This private seal, like the princess's private seal, has the effect of law.
For example, if Xue Mei went to a place and encountered an unjust case, the officials must hand her official documents stamped with her private seal to the emperor.
The private seal and jade letter were sent later.
Xue Mei received it and rewarded the person who gave the things.
The Xue family members have complex emotions and are not unified.
The Marquis of Yongning and the old lady were naturally happy. A princess appeared in the family, which enhanced the prestige of the Marquis of Yongning and made them more decent.
Xue Run and the third lady Xue Xi were wholeheartedly happy for their elder sister and admired them very much.
The eldest brother Xue Chi was in a state of unpredictable mood. He didn't seem very happy, but he didn't say he was unhappy.
The fourth lady Xue Qin was a little envious and a little jealous. At the same time, she felt that the eldest sister was too prominent and suppressed them.
Xue Yutan bit her lip tightly. At this time, Xue Yutan realized that Xue Mei didn't even look at her.
After the disciplinary nannies around Concubine Dan Tai left, King Yu did not come often. The concubine of Prince Yu's mansion became pregnant, and Xue Yutan felt the future was dark.
She has worked very hard, but this is the result.
Now Xue Mei has been named the princess.
In the future, her marriage will at least be afraid of being a prince, and she will be upright and have a good match.
Xue Yutan can no longer catch up with her.
It was only a year before the situation became so fast that Xue Yutan caught him off guard.
Xue Mei was obviously cowardly and incompetent a year ago, so she let her control it. Now Xue Mei seems to have become a different person, with a calm and elegant temperament.
Xue Mei ignored everyone.
After she was named the princess, the old lady of the Xue family made the decision, and the third lady paid for money to invite relatives and friends.
They invited them, but Xue Mei had no time to stay at home.
The relatives all asked, "Where is the princess?"
"The princess has gone to the palace." The old lady smiled.
Everyone said in private that the old lady used to be biased towards the second lady and praised the second lady who was born higher than the eldest lady. Now that the eldest lady has been named the princess, she no longer cares about them.
Everyone was watching it as a joke.
"The princess can open a house, will Mei'er open a house?" someone asked.
The old lady: "No. The Marquis' Mansion lives well, what kind of mansion is opened? The princess will only open the mansion after she gets married."
Everyone put away their thoughts of treating them lightly.
Since Xue Mei still wants to be in the Xue family, there is no need to offend the old lady of the Xue family.
Xue Yutan is locked in the house.
I heard that she beat the maid, her own wet nurse, and even her lucky head.
Futou is the snow-white dog.
Xue Mei didn't care about these things. She was in Linhua Palace and was talking private words to the imperial concubine.
"... Please ask the Empress for this matter." Xue Mei said.
She has something to ask for.
After listening to her story, Concubine Dan Tai felt that her request was reasonable: "Don't worry, I will do my best to do it for you."
