After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

Jin Ruoyun and Cheng Che looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes. Neither of them knew what the imperial edict was.

Cheng Che was puzzled. There hadn't been any wars to fight recently, so why did an imperial edict suddenly come to their house?

"May I ask, sir, what is this imperial decree?"

The eunuch who announced the decree was smiling the whole time, "Hey General Cheng, there is a big happy event in your family, you will know it soon."

Seeing that he was keeping it a secret, Cheng Che was not annoyed. The expression on his father-in-law's face showed that it was a good thing.

All members of the Jin family knelt down, waiting to receive the order.

The eunuch who announced the decree unfolded the imperial edict. His voice was sharp, but his face was smiling and he looked very festive.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the daughter of the Jin family, Jin Yuanyuan, is diligent and docile, a woman of good character, virtuous, noble yet frugal, and kind and benevolent. She is hereby canonized as Princess Lingshu and is granted the fief of Lingzhou. I decree this!"

After hearing the decree, the group of people stood still.

Jin Yuanyuan never expected that the emperor, in order to thank her for curing the princess, actually gave her the title of a princess. Not a county princess or a village princess, but a princess. The Lingzhou where her eldest brother had worked before was also given to her.

Gu Xu had been the county magistrate of Lingzhou for five years, and he had elevated a desolate and dilapidated lower county into an upper county in just five years. Now, merchants came and went to sell furs, and millions of transactions were made every day.

He then served as the governor of Lingzhou for three years with remarkable achievements. Two years ago, he was transferred back to Kyoto to serve as the Minister of Revenue. The first civil servant of the Jin family was born.

And he is such a young Minister of Revenue. How many people in Kyoto envy Cheng Che for having such a good son.

After Gu Xu returned to Beijing, countless people were coveting the fat piece of meat in Lingzhou, but they didn't expect that it would eventually fall into Jin Yuanyuan's hands.

It was Gu Xu who came back to his senses first and reminded quietly:

"Yuanyuan, please accept my order."

With his reminder, Jin Yuanyuan quickly accepted the imperial edict, which had her name written in black and white.

She was as happy as when her teacher gave her a certificate at school, except that the reward was a little too big. Only after the eunuch who announced the decree left did Jin Yuanyuan come to her senses.

"I actually became a princess?!"

Gu Xu felt that his sister was so cute and patted her head. "Yes, you have become a princess. His Majesty really likes you and values ​​you so much that he even gave Lingzhou to you."

Before he left Lingzhou, the people saw him off for ten miles and brought him several carts of fruits and vegetables they had grown themselves, expressing their reluctance to part with him.

Even if I send you thousands of miles away, we must eventually say goodbye. He is no longer an official of Lingzhou, but Yuanyuan is involved with Lingzhou.

Now that Lingzhou has become Yuanyuan's fiefdom, he feels much more at ease.

Yuanyuan will definitely not bully the people of Lingzhou.

Jin Yuanyuan rolled up the imperial edict and ran out.

Jin Ruoyun saw this and became anxious, "Yuanyuan, where are you going? You have been given the title of princess, so you still have to entertain guests and set up a banquet!"

Jin Yuanyuan waved behind her with a beautiful smile.

"I'm going to find He Linyuan to show off!"

Jin Ruoyun shook her head in vain. The child had grown up and there was nothing she could do. She was the only one who had to arrange the banquet.

Her grandson had just been sent to school and Shuhe was free, so she went to discuss the matter with Shuhe.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Gu An left the house and followed Jin Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuanyuanyuan! Wait for me for a moment, let's go together."

Jin Yuanyuan stopped and the brother and sister walked side by side.

Gu An kept talking on the way, asking questions in a roundabout way.

"Mother has just been preparing the banquet for our Jin family's banquet. The princess should be here, right? After all, the matter of being crowned as a princess has a lot to do with the princess."

Jin Yuanyuan looked at him suspiciously, narrowing her eyes. Gu An felt uncomfortable being stared at.

"What...what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, I just felt that you really wanted to see the princess. From yesterday to today, you asked me about Princess Jianing no less than ten times."

"Third brother, you... don't like the princess, do you?"

Gu An did not deny it immediately. He was stunned for a second, then smiled and waved his hand.

"How is that possible? After all, you've been playing together for a few days, and she really likes to stick to you. You must have been nice to her. I just asked casually, how could I like a princess? You really like to joke around, um...hahaha."

He tried his best to act calm and composed, and if he hadn't walked with his hands and feet trembling, she would have almost believed his lies.

Jin Yuanyuan smiled cunningly. It seemed that in the future, for the sake of this silly brother's lifelong event, she would have to spend more time with the princess.

The most important thing is that she also likes the princess very much. The princess is soft and cute. She likes her whenever she sees her. The third brother must be attracted to her.

When they arrived at the He Mansion, He Lingsheng saw them coming and snorted coldly.

"Why are you here again? If you don't know, you might think this Prime Minister's Mansion is your back garden."

"When I inherit the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, it will naturally be their home. Then it will be you who should leave." He Linyuan's voice came from behind.

Hearing his voice, He Lingsheng was startled and felt a chill down his spine.

He now thinks of that incident when he sees his house.

He Lingsheng accidentally broke into He Linyuan’s study room before and saw him practicing with poisonous insects.

He used live mice, spiders and scorpions to practice the poison. Thousands of insects crawled onto He Linyuan's body, but not a single one dared to bite him. He was so scared that he peed his pants.

He would never forget that scene and got goosebumps whenever he thought about it.

Therefore, whenever he saw He Linyuan, he would subconsciously feel afraid.

"I, I, I, I don't mean anything else, I just said it casually, don't misunderstand me."

He Linyuan's eyes were cold and he didn't take He Lingsheng seriously at all.

"roll."

Just one word, and He Lingsheng almost pissed himself again. Afraid of offending them, he cast a curse on himself.

He is really scared, he is scared~

Jin Yuanyuan watched him run faster than a rabbit and clicked her tongue twice.

"Sure, He Linyuan, this Prime Minister's Mansion will be yours from now on."

Four years ago, He Hong did not allow Jin Yuanyuan and the others to come and play with He Linyuan.

He Linyuan used a trick to make He Hong feel guilty towards him, make Ruan Zhi fall out of favor, and awaken He Hong's sympathy for Ruan Li.

Now in the Prime Minister's Mansion, apart from He Hong, He Linyuan has the final say. However, He Linyuan is cold and indifferent to He Hong and ignores him.

As he grew older, he became more and more cunning. He understood that making himself comfortable and making others uncomfortable was the right way to go, and he controlled the entire family in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Out of guilt, He Hong no longer stopped Jin Yuanyuan from coming.

He explained as they walked towards He Linyuan's yard.

"I don't want to inherit this. I'm still young and I'll have to move out sooner or later. When I... ahem, when I get married, I'll move out and never let my future wife suffer any grievances."

Jin Yuanyuan looked at him, nodded with satisfaction, and patted his shoulder with appreciation, "Not bad, Lao He, a good man."

He Linyuan's ears turned red because of what he said, and he was completely different from the cruel young man just now.

He noticed the imperial edict in Jin Yuanyuan's hand, "What is this? An imperial edict?"
