Huangxiu

Chapter 391: Conferment
Chu Zhiyuan returned to Tingtao Court and brought the imperial edict with him.

Zhu Caifu saw the contents of the imperial edict and asked in surprise, "Appoint Miaozhen as Princess Jianing?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Princess Jianing of Dajing."

"This..." Zhu Caifu was stunned.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Mr. Zhu, Princess Jianing of Dajing naturally doesn't have to marry me."

"This..." Zhu Caifu really didn't expect this trick to happen.

In this way, Cheng Miaozhen became a princess of both the Dajing and Dazhen dynasties.

A princess who is given a higher title is still a princess and enjoys the same treatment and honor as other princesses.

It seems that I have never heard of a woman who became a princess of two dynasties at the same time.

unprecedented.

So she was surprised and confused.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness the Eighteenth. In addition to the title of princess, you have also been granted a princess's mansion, which is two streets ahead."

This time it's not just a vain move, it's not just an empty name.

But it is a real sealing.

With the official title of princess, all the benefits of a princess will come along with it.

Not only does she have a princess's mansion, but she also has a salary, even a fiefdom, and a quota of guards.

After Chu Zhiyuan explained the secrets, Zhu Caifu said in amazement, "Isn't Emperor Dajing too generous?"

"It can be considered as a little compensation." Chu Zhiyuan said: "Grandfather Huang has a kind heart."

In fact, it was for the sake of reputation, to win over the hearts and minds of the people, to avoid causing controversy and damaging the dignity of the royal family.

Zhu Caifu shook her head repeatedly: "How generous."

She never expected that Cheng Miaozhen would be treated so well and favored.

"Mr. Zhu, please go over and announce the decree first, so that His Highness the Eighteenth Prince can calm down early." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Zhu Caifu said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, go over and make Miaozhen happy. She is very worried."

With this decree, it would be impossible for her to get married, after all, she was a princess.

They are both royal families, but they are one generation apart, so how could they possibly get married? This marriage was solved inexplicably.

-

Cheng Miaozhen looked at the imperial edict quietly, her expression calm.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her curiously.

Is she really that calm?

Could it be that he really wanted to die?

Or is it because of the mental method she practices that she doesn't feel any waves in her heart?
He was thinking and seeing clearly at the same time.

Zhu Caifu said happily: "Miaozhen, this time I am completely free. No matter how much the emperor forces me, it will be useless!"

Cheng Miaozhen nodded slightly and looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Thank you, my Lord."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's all because of my great grandfather's wisdom."

Cheng Miaozhen looked in the direction of the emperor and clasped her fists: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity and generosity."

First it was a fake assassination, then it was a fake suicide, each one was a complete fraud.

The normal reaction from Emperor Dazhen was to scold him.

Emperor Dajing not only did not retaliate, but instead conferred a higher title on the princess.

This is repaying evil with kindness.

Even for Chu Zhiyuan's sake, he shouldn't be so gracious, right?

What's more, this also invisibly lost Chu Zhiyuan's face. Just look at the rumors outside.

The reason why rumors spread so quickly is because people believe them.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't be suspicious. In fact, this is also to dispel the rumors in the market and to protect my face."

"...Prince, I..." Cheng Miaozhen hesitated.

Chu Zhiyuan waved his hand and smiled: "I know what your Highness means, and I understand your Highness' feelings. We are in the same situation."

"…It's not because he is the prince." Cheng Miaozhen said softly.

No matter who I meet, I will make the same choice and never marry.

It is for both spiritual practice and tranquility.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I understand. Your Highness doesn't need to feel guilty. Even if Your Highness doesn't take action, I will stop this marriage. In fact, I am being lazy and saving trouble."

Zhu Caifu had retreated to the side without anyone noticing and disappeared.

The two beautiful maids also retreated, leaving only two people in the small pavilion in the courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan looked around, feeling curious. Cheng Miaozhen was really calm.

Even just now, it remained as calm as water, without any disturbance.

It seems as if nothing matters to me, nothing can shake my mood or my resolve.

He judged that this could not be cultivation, but came from the mental method she practiced.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "Your Highness, are you planning to stay here, or are you planning to return to Dazhen?"

"...I don't know yet." Cheng Miaozhen frowned slightly and shook her head gently.

She never thought that she could become the princess of Dajing, Princess Jianing.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If I go back to Dazhen, I can go back to my parents, which will surely be more stable."

Cheng Miaozhen pondered.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If you stay in Dajing, it will be a little quieter, but it will inevitably be lonely and deserted."

Cheng Miaozhen's eyes flickered and she nodded slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan had already seen her answer.

She decided to stay.

I would rather live a lonely and cold life than go back to my parents.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head secretly.

It seems that this time, she was deeply hurt by her parents, especially the emperor.

Just think about it, there are several princesses in Dazhen, why did they have to choose her?

How can I not be angry, sad and disappointed?
It is not abnormal to not go back in anger.

"Of course, you can come and go between Dajing and Dazhen. No one will force you to stay anywhere."

"Ah."

"In fact, staying in Dajing for half a year and going back to Dazhen for half a year is not bad." Chu Zhiyuan smiled, "Living in both places in turn can keep things fresh."

Cheng Miaozhen smiled slightly: "This is a good idea, but it's too much trouble."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The guards assigned to the palace are idle anyway, so it would be good to let them move around."

Cheng Miaozhen smiled faintly: "I'll think about it carefully."

"Then let's go to the Princess's Mansion first. It's not far from here."

……

Princess Jianing's Mansion is located two streets south of Prince Qing's Mansion Main Street.

Chu Zhiyuan brought them to the princess's mansion, and from then on, this princess's mansion belonged to Cheng Miaozhen.

She can choose to live in Dazhen Pavilion in Sifang Pavilion or in the Princess Mansion.

Chu Zhiyuan could see that she still wanted to live in Sifang Pavilion and had no intention of moving into the Princess Mansion for the time being.

He vaguely guessed the reason.

She will move into the princess's mansion only after receiving news from Emperor Dazhen.

Until then, she won't move.

Zhu Caifu was amazed at this princess mansion, which was much larger and more magnificent than Cheng Miaozhen's princess mansion in Dazhen.

Cheng Miaozhen, however, was indifferent and didn't care much about these external things.

Chu Zhiyuan took them on a tour, and after the handover was completed, he said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, he invited Gao Jiuqu to his palace as a guest to study swordsmanship together.

This immediately cheered up Gao Jiuqiu, and he agreed immediately.

Chu Zhiyuan decided to lend a helping hand to Gao Jiuqu and see how the Grandmaster could break through to the Grandmaster level.

As for whether it would create an enemy, a powerful opponent for oneself.

Chu Zhiyuan, however, has enough confidence.

He is capable enough to catch up with Gao Jiuqu, or even surpass him.

After leaving, he kept thinking about Cheng Miaozhen's mental method on his way back home.

The more you look into the cave, the more amazing it seems.

It seems to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, yin and yang, and infinite mysteries.

It not only cleanses the body, but also the spirit. Such a miraculous achievement should not remain unknown.

When he arrived at Yaoyue Palace, he asked Elder Yun Qiuhua on Yaoyue Peak whether he knew about such a miraculous feat.
