Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1792

Late at night, when Shi Yunqi walked into the red gate of the East Palace, the copper bells on the eaves were ringing in the north wind.

Crown Prince Xiao Zhi summoned him to the side pavilion of Beichen Palace.

The "Northern Wing Political Essentials" spread out on the desk still contained an urgent report on the progress of Emperor Mingde's return to the capital, with the red ink marks not yet dry.

Shi Yunqi considered it again and again, and tactfully explained his sister's intention. Finally, he bowed his head and saluted, "On behalf of my sister, I would like to thank Your Highness for your grace. Your Majesty's grace is so great that I will never forget it."

After the crown prince finished listening to Shi Yunqi's retelling, his fingertips unconsciously stroked the edge of the book. After a long while, he sighed, "It is my fault for not considering things carefully. I have made my sister worry about this situation."

Shi Yunqi saw that the prince was willing to listen to his advice, and his tense shoulders relaxed a little. As long as the imperial edict was not sealed, there was still room for maneuver.

The Censorate over there thought that their advice had worked, and when the court was dismissed, several censors exchanged glances with each other, looking quite smug.

Thinking that Princess Haiyan's children had not gotten any advantage this time, he suddenly felt sympathy for them. The next morning, the Imperial Censor came forward to ask for titles for Princess Haiyan's children.

The crown prince approved the request and immediately issued an edict: the eldest son of Princess Haiyan and her husband was promoted to Marquis of Weibei, with a fief of 800 households; the two daughters were respectively named Princess Yihe and Princess Yita, and each was granted a Tangmu fief of 300 households.

In this way, everyone is happy.

For several days in a row, there was an endless stream of carriages and horses in front of the young master's mansion, and the red wheels and gorgeous hubs filled the entire street.

Various gifts were continuously carried into the palace; corals, jades, brocades and treasures were piled up like mountains; even the corridors in the main courtyard were filled with boxes and cages.

Bei Hui and her servants were so busy that they had to keep their feet on the ground. Even in the middle of winter, sweat was dripping from their foreheads, but they still had to force themselves to smile and welcome guests.

Seeing that the storehouse was about to be full, she ordered people to open a few rooms in the west wing for temporary storage. But there were some tricks to accepting gifts. For example, if she accepted the one from Mr. Zhang's house and refused the one from Mr. Li's house, she was afraid that gossip about forming cliques would spread the next day.

"If this continues, I guess we'll have to vacate the flower hall in the backyard." Bei Hui rubbed her aching waist and sighed softly as she looked at the gold-painted gift boxes that were still being carried into the courtyard.

Outside the mansion gate, there was another long line of newly arrived carriages.

Mother Zeng and Mother Wang from the Duke of Huguo's Mansion were summoned and were now congratulating Shi Anxia in the inner room.

"When I first met the princess, I knew that you must be a blessed person." Mother Zeng bowed and smiled, with respect in the fine lines around her eyes.

Mother Wang also said, "That's right. Since that year when we received the princess' blessing, our family has been prosperous every year." She folded the handkerchief in her hand again and again, obviously she was very happy.

As soon as the two of them arrived, they were rewarded generously, and auspicious words came out in strings, like copper bells under the eaves, ringing non-stop.

They still remember one winter night when they sat together, drinking hot tea, eating melon seeds and pastries, and reviewing the process of their work.

It was the most unforgettable experience in my life. Whenever I think of it, I can't help but smile.

Shi Anxia asked softly, "Moms, do you know why I invited you to my house today?"

The two exchanged glances. Zeng's mother spoke first, "Is it... because my daughter-in-law violated the princess's taboo?"

Mother Wang was even more worried. "I heard from my daughter-in-law that she was originally the eldest son's wet nurse, but now, after just a few days, she has been transferred to the young lady's side. But she is not serving well?"

Zeng Mama's daughter-in-law was in the same situation. She looked at the princess eagerly, thinking that maybe her daughters-in-law did not do a good job, and the princess wanted to save their face and couldn't just kick them out, so she specially called them here today.

The two mothers looked grim at the thought. If they failed to do their job well, it would be a shame for people like them.

"On the contrary." Shi Anxia kept thinking of the help they had given each other in the past, but she also spoke the truth, "The daughter-in-law you two personally trained is naturally the best at doing her job."

The two were delighted when they heard this, but at the same time they didn't quite understand why they were replaced even though they did their job well.
