The billionaire girl: Daddy and Mommy, love me again
Chapter 477 Princess Pingyang
When the news reached Kyoto, Emperor Mingde was delighted.
Hearing that Mo Junyi and Cheng Xingwan would be back today, he ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a large table of their favorite food early.
The two of them rode Dahei and Erhei directly to the outside of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
This is a special honor bestowed upon them by Emperor Mingde.
As soon as their figures appeared in the sky, Emperor Mingde came out to greet them in person.
"Your Majesty, your servant Cheng Xingwan pays homage to Him,............!" After Cheng Xingwan jumped off the big black horse's back, she was about to kneel down to salute, but was lifted up by a pair of big hands.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite, hahahaha...! My little girl, I grant you that you don't have to kneel when you see me from now on. Besides, I will reward you greatly. Come on, I have prepared a big table of delicious food for you, let's go eat."
Emperor Mingde's eyes were full of love, and he stretched out his hand to hug her, but when Jiang Delu coughed softly, he held her hand instead.
Cheng Xingwan was flattered and let him hold her hand obediently.
From beginning to end, Mo Junyi, who was treated as an invisible man, looked at the two people's backs getting farther and farther away with resentment.
In just a few short days, has the emperor become tired of the old and love the new?
However, Emperor Mingde seemed to have not noticed that Mo Junyi did not catch up.
At this moment, his heart and eyes were filled with the delicate and soft little girl in front of him.
This little girl is not only good-looking, but also his lucky girl.
Ever since she appeared in Kyoto, all the problems that had troubled him were solved.
During this period, good news came one after another, leaving him overwhelmed.
If he had no other plans, he would have wanted to adopt her as his adopted daughter.
At the dinner table, he kept putting food into Cheng Xingwan's bowl.
There was no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping, and she asked with a doting face, "I plan to announce it tomorrow, and confer you the title of Princess Pingyang, and grant you the fiefdom of Yinzhou County. Is there anything else you want? I will write it down in the imperial edict."
"Isn't this... too fast?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xingwan was stunned. She didn't expect Emperor Mingde to be so generous as to offer her the title of a princess and grant Yinzhou as her fiefdom.
This was too generous! She was a little bit unbelievable.
You know, Yinzhou has now transformed from a poor and desolate county town into a major tax-paying county.
The taxes paid to the imperial court each year accounted for one-tenth of Dayan’s total annual economy.
And with its booming development momentum, Yinzhou's future is immeasurable.
Granting her Yinzhou County as a fiefdom meant that in the future, all the tax revenue from Yinzhou County would go into her pocket and would no longer have to be handed over to the imperial court.
Over the years, the national treasury had long been emptied by these thieves like Zuo Xiang who were secretly repairing the plank roads while sneaking through Chencang.
Even if all their assets were confiscated and used to fill the national treasury, it would still be empty.
She was flattered that Emperor Mingde was willing to give her such a big piece of fat meat.
"Not fast, not at all. With your achievements, you deserve to be a princess.
Anyway, you call me Brother Crown Prince, and I need a daughter like you, so why don't you be my daughter?"
Emperor Mingde spoke while secretly observing Mo Junyi's expression.
Seeing that he seemed to agree with the idea of letting Cheng Xingwan be a princess, I suddenly felt that I was worried about this child.
He suddenly increased the dosage and said, "When you grow up, I will find you a prince consort."
"Father, you can't do that!"
At first, Mo Junyi was happy that Emperor Mingde wanted to reward Cheng Xingwan with the title of princess.
When she heard that he was going to summon a prince consort for her, her heart suddenly ached, and without thinking, she blurted out the words to stop him.
Now not only Emperor Mingde, but even Cheng Xingwan looked at him in surprise.
Although she had no intention of agreeing to Emperor Mingde, she could not understand why Mo Junyi was so passionately opposed.
Does he feel he is unworthy?
"Oh? Yi'er doesn't agree with me conferring the title of princess on Nannan. Why?"
Emperor Mingde was in a good mood when he saw his son's slow realization, and he couldn't help wanting to tease him.
Mo Junyi felt a little guilty when he met Cheng Xingwan's puzzled look.
In fact, he didn't know why he jumped out to stop it, he just felt that there was a voice in his heart telling him to do so.
"Just...just, Nannan has jumped from a commoner to a princess of a country, which may cause dissatisfaction among the ministers.
By then, Nannan will be pushed to the forefront and become the target of public criticism.
The position of princess is a reward in the eyes of her father, but it is a shackle for her daughter, and a thorn in the flesh for others.
The higher you stand, the greater your responsibility. Once you are crowned as Princess Nannan, she will no longer be as free and easy as she is today."
There is some truth in this.
Emperor Mingde couldn't help but look serious. Although the left prime minister's faction had all been imprisoned, the situation in the court was not yet to the point where he could do whatever he wanted.
Although these two children did not grow up by his side, they were raised under his nose.
The guy An Er was responsible for hiding in the dark every day and writing letters to tell him every detail of their growth process.
So he wanted to snatch Cheng Xingwan to be his own daughter, not because she had made great contributions, but because he did it on impulse.
But isn’t it more fun to be raised as a future daughter-in-law than being a princess?
After listening to what Mo Junyi said, Cheng Xingwan felt relieved.
She didn't care whether she was a princess or not, as long as the starling didn't hate her.
The meal ended in an inexplicable atmosphere.
When Emperor Mingde asked her if there was anything she wanted, she thought about it carefully and then shook her head.
Emperor Mingde has already found out the truth about the injustice done to the ancestors of the Cheng family. Tomorrow, before enthroning her, he will announce it to the world and redress the grievances for the great general who protects the country.
Beyond that, there was nothing more she wanted.
In terms of gold, silver and treasures, even the combined treasuries of ten Dayan countries might not have as much as she has.
As for power, as Mo Junyi said, power will only become her shackles and restrict her freedom.
Today, the people of Chengjia Village not only live a prosperous life, but also have the energy to protect the local people and ensure they live and work in peace and contentment.
It is already a great life if everyone can shine in the industry they are good at.
Power is a double-edged sword. It can benefit the people, but it can also satisfy one's own selfish interests. It can make people noble, but it can also corrupt people. It can make a person successful, but it can also destroy a person.
Although it seems that the people of Chengjia Village are kind-hearted now, no one can guarantee that they will always be so good.
So she would not take the initiative to seek power for them.
If they want, they can strive for it through their own efforts.
Nowadays, every household has a scholar. Many families have children who have passed the imperial examination and become scholars, and there are even more children who have become students.
After more than ten years of hard study, the old patriarch's grandson, Cheng Bingwen, and her uncle Li Junshan finally passed the imperial examination last year and ranked well.
Now that the imperial court has undergone such a major reshuffle, it is in urgent need of a large number of talents to fill the vacancies.
As long as they pass this year's imperial examination, they can basically have a bright future.
Even the three brothers Jinwen, Jinwu and Jinhao were so inspired that they planned to try their luck in the provincial examination next year.
It is said that Cheng Zeli made great contributions in this restoration of order. Obviously, he cannot return to Xiaoyao City and he will stay in Kyoto in the future.
As for what position it is, it will probably be announced tomorrow.
I heard that Emperor Mingde also asked him what he wanted, and he actually replied that he wanted Emperor Mingde to order a thorough re-investigation of the case of Shen Jingbing's cheating in the provincial examination.
He did not say that Shen Jingbing was definitely innocent, but only said that he was a rare talent.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingde readily agreed.
When he was looking up their achievements in Xiaoyao City, Han Yu's name also appeared before him.
Only then did he remember that the equally brilliant third place scholar was implicated and exiled to Xiaoyao City because he firmly stood with the number one scholar.
Then an imperial edict was issued from the capital, and Han Yu finally got hope.
