Edict of the Marquis

Xue Mei went to the palace to receive the order.

This is the first time that many court officials have seen her.

I have heard of her name, know her deeds, and know that she is in the Zhuang Palace. But I didn’t have the chance to see her beauty with my own eyes, so many people can only listen to their female family descriptions.

What you describe depends on your own guessing, which is completely different from seeing a real person.

She went into seclusion to treat the princess's illness, and it was the first time Xue Chi saw her in more than half a month.

She was dressed very grandly today, wearing a pink jacket with colorful butterflies embroidered with gold thread, and a long ink dress underneath.

Above the skirt is covered with silver, and the light flows like fish scales while walking. This is a very expensive fabric, and it is very complicated to make and hard to find.

This is the fabric invented by Xue Mei, and the textile technology is also provided by her.

Such expensive fabrics were used to tie silk flowers in the palace, but Xue Mei made them into skirts.

还是墨色的.

It's simply a waste of resources.

Xue Mei is luxurious and has a slender figure, which makes her look elegant and graceful.

Everyone was shining with eyes on this Huacai.

Many people were very curious about Xue Mei's appearance. After all, in the rumors, her appearance was very scary. Now that she saw her true face, everyone took a breath.

This girl has white skin, so the beauty mole on her eyebrows becomes brighter and redder.

The mole on her eyebrows is like a virgin in front of the Bodhisattva, like a cinnabar; and her stunning and charming face is like a banshee who has fallen into the mortal world.

I don’t know if it should be said that she is dignified or that she is charming.

She blended the two temperaments together brightly, showing her uniqueness carelessly.

Several court officials could no longer control themselves and their minds were swaying.

Xue Chi's heart was also slightly shocked. I wonder if it was because he hadn't seen him for a long time, but he felt that his sister was beautiful again.

Looking back on when I was in Yongning Marquis' Mansion a few years ago, Xue Mei was obviously an extremely inconspicuous little girl.

At that time, Xue Mei was also quite tall, but she always seemed to be shrinking her neck and shoulders, like a lonely egret, without any beauty. At that time, he was also such a beautiful mole, but the color was far less than the bright red ones now.

Her eyebrows and eyes seemed to have not changed anywhere, but they seemed to have changed.

Xue Chi felt like time was confused, as if he had lived another life, and what he met in this life was just a woman who was a little similar to Xue Mei in his previous life.

He was stunned.

It was not only him who was stunned, but the fourth prince was already infatuated; even the eldest prince Jiang Feng, who had just been named the crown prince and was overjoyed, was amazed.

"A man depends on clothes, does a horse rely on saddle?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, "Why haven't you seen him for a few days? Princess Chengyang is 50% more beautiful than before?"

The eldest prince always thought Cheng Lanqing was very beautiful.

Xue Mei's facial features, looking at them separately, obviously, they are not as delicate as Cheng Lanqing.

It can be said that it is far from that.

But overall, she is not inferior to Cheng Lanqing, especially her makeup and clothing today.

"Minister Bai Xiaoxiao, please see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." Xue Mei bowed loudly, breaking the silence in the court.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself: "It's great, beautiful little girl, you should dress up well."

The emperor just nodded slightly and signaled to the eunuch beside him to announce the eunuch; the eunuch took out the imperial eunuch that had been prepared long ago.

The court officials hurriedly came back to their senses and heard what kind of reward or punishment they wanted to give Xue Mei.

"Master, Wuer Bai..."

Behind them are the identity of Puzhou fabricated by Xue Mei and Xue Chihu, as well as the identity of Bai Xiaoxiao, who doesn't want money, and they are all introduced.

Then, the eunuch continued to recite, "... filial piety, friendly, gentle and respectful..."

After reading the imperial edict, the court officials were already confused.

Xue Mei was also confused.

Even though Xue Mei had no experience, she could hear that this was not an edict to reward women, because she had not heard any of the essential words of the famous family.

What she heard was also a condom of words, but all of them were used to describe men.

"Is this going to force my personality to change?" Xue Mei complained in her heart.

Soon, the eunuch read to the end, "...they were granted a golden book and a treasure, and he was appointed as the Marquis of Chengyang. If he inherited the inheritance, his fief was Qingyang County."

Xue Mei: "..."

After reading this imperial edict, the court fell into a strange silence, which was too unexpected.

Xue Mei doubted her ears.

Even though he was as scheming as Prime Minister Pei, he did not expect that the emperor would grant Xue Mei the Marquis of Chengyang and grant him a fief.

Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for women to be named marquis.

Because the marquis is the lord of the vassal state. How can a lord of a country be a woman? A woman does not even have the right to inherit.

Now there are no vassal states, and marquis are often used to grant meritorious clans. For example, a concubine who has made meritorious father and brother can easily be granted marquis.

It is unheard of to name a woman a marquis, and it is rare in history.

Everyone was not mentally prepared and had no idea how to refute for a moment, which led to the silence in the court that could be heard.

Xue Mei was clever and stunned, and then rushed forward to answer the order: "Thank you Lord Long's kindness!"

What if he doesn't matter, she dares to catch him if he gives it to her.

What a big deal.

She can do anything a man can do. She can do what a man can't do, such as having a baby.

So, she is so powerful, what's wrong with being a marquis? She is the empress.

courtier:"……"

Maybe I didn't expect that this little girl was so ignorant, and no one from the court officials spoke.

Fortunately, the censors are not idle.

They reacted keenly. After Xue Mei received the order, a censor came forward and shouted: "Your Majesty is absolutely inappropriate. Please take your Majesty back."

The emperor was not upset at all: "Why is it inappropriate?"

"There has never been such a precedent." The censor shouted.

"Then I set this precedent." The emperor seemed to be in a good mood.

The censor choked by him.

"...but this move is difficult to convince the public. What kind of virtue is this little woman? She can be named Chengyang Marquis? Moreover, she is from Liang, she is from a foreigner." The censor said again.

"No matter whether the Liang people or the Chu people, we are all Han people after all. We were the same ancestors thousands of years ago. How could we be considered as a foreigner?" the emperor said again.

The emperor was in a good mood today and was energetic. He sat on the dragon throne and never got angry. He argued with the censors every word.

The people below were listening to the opera, but no one came forward to interrupt.

"...But since you want to be a marquis, you have to have some achievements, right?" After the censor said that, he knew that this sentence was not said well and blushed a little.

"The marquis itself is a gift from the royal family. In this dynasty, I have personally conferred fifteen marquises. Who has ever done any great achievements that benefit the country and the people?"

All court officials: "..."

Fifteen Marquises of All and Two: "Ah Yeh!"

If you continue, I'm afraid you will offend many people. The Censor actually lost to the emperor in a verbal battle. He struggled: "Your Majesty, you have also given her a fief."

"Whoever has no land for the other marquis?" asked the emperor.

Censor: "..."
