Chapter 149 Adopted as the Queen's Daughter
This year's new candidates have all received their letters of appointment and have taken up their posts one after another.
Among these candidates, some, like Liu Luping, stayed in the capital. Most of them entered the Hanlin Academy and started as a small seventh-rank Hanlin editor. Only Liu Luping entered the cabinet.
Others were assigned to various places to become county magistrates and serve as local officials.
Cui Yuwei was lucky enough to be the one who stayed in the capital. Although the Hanlin Academy was noble and did not have the real power that the cabinet had, he had achieved the first step to staying in the capital anyway.
What's more, the Cui family is rich, and Cui Yuwei can live without relying on salary, so it doesn't matter if his official position is low.
After the candidates were settled, the next thing to come was the second princess' marriage.
The second princess was choosing a husband at the Qionglin Banquet and she chose Liu Luping.
He was the top scholar in the imperial examination and had extraordinary talent and learning; he also entered the cabinet and had a bright future; most importantly, as the emperor said, he was bullied and slandered, but he never changed his mind, which showed that he had extraordinary character and a firm heart.
For such a person, even if his family is a little poor, it is not a big deal for the second princess.
After all, as a princess, her dowry would at least not be small.
The Queen Mother had never had children before, so she treated all the children in the harem equally, especially the girls. She prepared the same specifications for the Second Princess's marriage as the First Princess's.
Therefore, the second princess did not have to worry about having a hard time in the future.
When the emperor learned that the second princess had taken a fancy to Liu Luping, he summoned Liu Luping to ask if he was willing, but he heard Liu Luping say:
"It is my honor to be favored by the princess, but I cannot agree easily."
"The princess has only met me once at the Qionglin Banquet, and does not know my character and personality very well. If you marry me rashly and become unhappy with me in the future, it will inevitably make the princess feel wronged."
"The same is true for me."
'My parents were both born in poverty. They supported each other all their lives and loved each other without doubt. I grew up under the teachings of my parents. I just want to choose a woman I like and be with her for the rest of my life.'
"Therefore, since I have never met the Second Princess, I dare not make any further judgments."
After hearing these words, the emperor did not blame him for speaking out, but instead sighed:
"Others, when they heard that you were going to marry the princess, would rush to agree, fearing that they would miss this opportunity. But you, on the other hand, have a lot of excuses, but they all make some sense."
"In that case, I will give you a chance to get to know each other and get along with each other. You can go down first."
After Liu Luping kowtowed to express his gratitude, he walked out. Then the emperor instructed Eunuch Huang:
"Let Princess Yun'an come to the palace to see me."
Shi Lidie was very surprised when she heard the summons. After all, the emperor would not look for her unless there was something important.
Now she goes to the Queen's Palace whenever she is free, and can see the Emperor from time to time. She talks about everything in Fengqi Palace. This is the first time she has been formally summoned.
She entered the palace, went to the imperial study, and bowed:
"I wonder what your majesty wants to see me about?"
"Don't be so reserved. Come and sit down." The emperor waved at her. After she sat down, he asked, "The second princess is choosing a husband and has set her sights on this year's top scholar Liu Luping. Do you know about this?"
Shi Lidie nodded: "I know, the Queen said so."
The emperor recounted what Liu Luping had just said, and then said:
"I think what he said makes sense. Although most marriages in this world are blind and dumb, my daughter is a princess, so there is no need for her to be like the girls of ordinary families."
"Liu Luping has both good talent and character. His humble origins also make him more compassionate to the people than those children of the rich and powerful. He is a talent that I am optimistic about. I do not want to hastily grant him a marriage, which would make him and the princess a couple of enemies and affect their careers in the future."
"So I asked you to come here today because I want you to help me."
Shi Lidie admired the emperor's great understanding of justice and was happy for the second princess. Even though her biological mother was of humble origin, the emperor still loved her as his own daughter and did not turn her into a tool for political gain.
So, Shi Lidie said:
"I don't know what your majesty wants me to do, but as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best."
"It's not a big deal." The emperor said, "I heard that you and Liu Luping are acquainted, so I want you to think of a way to let Liu Luping and the second princess get along, without damaging their reputations, and at the same time giving them a chance to get along."
When Shi Lidie heard this, she immediately understood that the emperor wanted her to act as a middleman.
Thinking of this, she said:
"It's easy to say, but it's also not easy to say."
"I have been in the capital for such a long time, but I have never held a banquet. Now that spring is here, I can take this opportunity to hold a banquet at the county lady's mansion and invite Liu Luping and the second princess to attend, creating an opportunity for them."
"But Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid. I don't know what reason to hold a banquet. I don't have the leisure time to grow flowers like the Marquis of Wu'an, nor do I need to hold a coming-of-age ceremony or birthday banquet."
"In terms of status, I am only a county lady. I am not qualified to hold a poetry gathering or a gathering."
After hearing this, the emperor thought about it and came up with an idea:
"Why don't I let the Queen adopt you as her adopted daughter, and then I canonize you as a princess. Is that enough status?"
Shi Lidie widened her eyes, never expecting that good luck would come so suddenly.
So, she changed from a county princess to a princess of a county?
He even skipped a grade in the middle!
"Since Your Majesty has said so, then I will obey your command." Shi Lidie hurriedly thanked him.
So, when she left the palace this time, she changed from the original simple Princess Yun'an to Princess Yun'an, and also became the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother.
The moment the imperial edict was issued, the entire capital was in an uproar, and everyone was wondering what kind of luck Shi Lidie had and why the emperor and the empress favored her so much?
In fact, the emperor had already had the idea of conferring the title of princess on Shi Lidie.
Ever since it was known that Shi Lidie cured the Queen's chronic illness and helped her become pregnant successfully, this contribution alone deserved a promotion to a title. However, the Emperor was busy at that time and had no time to reward her.
Now she is asked to help bring Liu Luping and the second princess together, and she will be rewarded together.
As for the queen, she was eager to adopt Shi Lidie as her daughter. After all, she had no biological daughter of her own, and Shi Lidie was smart and considerate, so she liked this girl very much.
The most important thing is, in the long run, with a capable sister like Shi Lidie, the baby in her belly will have an extra support and trump card in the future.
Shi Lidie had transformed herself into a princess and was also the adopted daughter of the queen, so she was naturally qualified enough to host a banquet.
She sent invitations to all the young men and women she knew in the capital, including the more than 30 people who had been unable to take the imperial examination because of Fang Youwei's scheme.
She said that the bright and beautiful spring weather is a great time to enjoy the scenery.
Why don't we all get together and hold a poetry competition to record the description of the beautiful spring scenery, and give those students who have lost the opportunity to take the scientific examination a chance to prove themselves.
