Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that General Ning has been stationed at the frontier for sixty years, has made numerous military achievements, protected the people, and nurtured Emperor Zhaoming. He is truly the pillar of the court and the bulwark of the country. He is posthumously conferred the title of Duke of Weiguo on General Ning, and his eldest grandson Ning Xinzhe shall inherit the title. This is decreed." Note (1)

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Ning Guangzhi has fought bravely and made outstanding contributions in battle, and posthumously conferred the title of Earl of Jinyang on Ning Guangzhi. His grandson Ning Xinrui will inherit the title. I decree this."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Ning Guangpo defeated the enemy and defended the territory. Ning Guangpo is posthumously conferred the title of Earl of Xindu, and his grandson Ning Xinyang inherits the title. I decree this."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Ning Xiuping fought bravely and defended the territory, and posthumously conferred the title of Earl of Pingyang on Ning Xiuping, and his daughter Ning Yuanxi inherits the title as Princess of Pingyang County. I decree this."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Ning Xiuyao bravely killed the enemy and defended the territory, and posthumously conferred the title of Earl of Yongping on Ning Xiuyao, and his daughter Ning Qingxi inherited the title as Princess of Yongping County. I decree this."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Ning Xiuyue bravely killed the enemy and defended the territory, and posthumously conferred the title of Anyuan Earl on Ning Xiuyue, and his daughter Ning Yuxi inherited the title as Anyuan County Lady. I decree this."

Six imperial edicts were issued in succession, conferring the titles of duke, two earls, and three county ladies.

This is not only a reward for the grace of raising them, but also a commendation for those Ning family generals who defended the territory, were loyal and brave, and sacrificed themselves for the country and the people.

Everyone knelt on the ground, listening nervously.

Ning Qishao couldn't hide his smile. Good, that's great. He didn't have to worry about the future of these children anymore.

With a title, these fatherless children will feel more confident.

Ning Wenyin and the others were secretly happy too, thinking it was very thoughtful.

Only Duan Xinyu's expression changed.

She was right. Ning Zhiwei would definitely remember the kindness of raising her and would reward the Ning family generously.

However, she did not expect that this kindness would fall on the heads of several children.

There are five kinds of titles: duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron, and duke is the first.

The first duke of this dynasty went to the eldest grandson of the Ning family, the first such honor.

Several girls are made county princesses, all boys are made viscounts, and even the controversial baby has a share. As long as they don't do anything naughty, they will have wealth and glory for the rest of their lives.

These people shared the little bit of kindness, so what about the only adult male in the Ning family? What good title can he get? Can he still be crowned king?

She had a bad feeling.

The eunuch took out another scroll of imperial edict and announced it loudly, "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Ning Xiuze fought bravely in the battles and defended the territory, and shall be conferred the title of General of the State and appointed the Chief of the Imperial Clan Affairs Office. This is decreed."

Ning Qishao bowed deeply with a sincere heart and thanked loudly.

The Zongzheng of the Zongrenfu was in charge of all matters of the clan, including marriages and births, etc. As the only adult male, he was the only candidate.

No one dares to offend him.

In addition, the title of General Fuguo was not only the head of the generals, but also a reward for the royal family.

As the wife of Ning Qishao, Duan Xinyu was also granted the title of first-rank lady.

This was already a rare honor, but it was far from Duan Xinyu's expectation of being named an iron-hatted king, and he was deeply disappointed.

The eunuch handed the imperial edict to Ning Qishao, "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to all the dukes, barons, and county ladies."

This family's glory makes people envious and jealous.

There is not a single layman.

Although every dynasty would grant lavish titles to members of the royal family at the beginning of the new dynasty, how could people not be jealous when these children all got titles?

He completely forgot that the fathers and grandfathers of these children had died on the battlefield and shed their last drop of blood for their country.

This was paid for with one's life.

If possible, these children would rather not have the title but want their father to be alive.

Ning Qishao carefully put away the imperial edict and said, "Thank you for your trip, please go to the flower hall for a cup of tea."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict responded with a smile on his face and followed the servant to drink tea.

The youngest girl trembled and climbed up, looking at the adults curiously, "Uncle Qi, what does this mean?"

She was only five and a half years old, at the age of ignorance.

Ning Qishao picked her up and said, "That's right. No one will dare to bully you from now on."

The little girl raised her head, very proud, "With auntie here, who dares to bully us? Auntie is so powerful, she will protect us."

Although she is young, her brothers and sisters always brag about how great her aunt is in front of her. She also often receives gifts from her aunt, which she loves very much.

Ning Qishao tapped the little girl's nose and said, "Then you should also learn skills well and help your aunt in the future."

"Okay." The little girl spoke in a baby voice, and her round eyes were so adorable.

Ning Qishao patted Ning Yuanxi on the shoulder and said, "Yuanxi, you are the eldest sister, please take care of your younger brothers and sisters in the palace."

Ning Yuanxi was a little surprised, but didn't think much about it, "I know, Uncle Seven."

Ning Liu's eyebrows danced with joy, "Should we have a drink to celebrate?"

Ning Wenyin has a calm personality. "Let's wait until the founding ceremony is over before inviting guests. We are all busy with the ceremony now, so who has time to come? We are now at the center of the storm, with countless people watching us, so we should keep a low profile."

"That's fine." Ning Liu smiled happily, "It doesn't matter if I spend a little more time."

However, the Ning family still set up several tables for family banquets, and everyone was happy and joyful.

During the whole process, Duan Xinyu smiled sweetly and danced skillfully. She arranged the family dinner properly and took care of everyone, showing the demeanor of a mistress of the house.

Ning Wenyin saw it and nodded slightly. If she had no selfish motives, she would indeed be a qualified mistress of the house.

That is, the children of famous families only think about the glory of their family and put the interests of their family first.

I just hope that after Duan Xinyu gives birth to a child, she will gradually shift her focus and pay more attention to the interests of her husband's family.

Ning Qishao was also very satisfied with his wife's performance. She was dignified and generous, considerate and appropriate in dealing with people, and capable of taking on responsibilities.

Back in the bedroom, Ning Qishao specially picked out a pair of jade bracelets and handed them to her, "Madam, thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a gift."

Duan Xinyu took it and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, husband. It's not hard. This is what I should do."

"You're tired after a day, just take a shower and go to bed."

"Okay, I'll serve my husband." Duan Xinyu personally helped her husband undress and served him very attentively.

She understands men's psychology very well, is good at speaking, and is humble. Her sweet words can easily make people like her.

Unlike Mrs. Ning Qishao, who is jealous and easily loses her temper, it is very tiring to get along with her.

The two of them were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more ambiguous.

At this moment, Duan Xinyu jokingly said, "Fifth sister, you are so annoying. You have conferred so many titles of viscount, are you still missing one?"

Ning Qishao paused and looked at her deeply, "I am a good man, I should make great achievements, give my wife and children a good fortune, so that my life in this world will not be in vain."

Duan Xinyu's expression changed drastically, "You...what do you mean?"
