Chapter 516

Emperor Mingde thought again of Shi Yunqi's excellent performance in the Golden Palace Examination that day. He talked about the past and the present and quoted from classics. It was hard to imagine that he was a boy who had never even attended a formal school.

In the first few years, he proposed to abolish the privilege of the children of the capital's noble families who could take the imperial examination directly without taking the college examination or the provincial examination. However, he was opposed by most of the court officials and the proposal was shelved.

He is now extremely grateful, otherwise a talented young man from aristocratic family like Shi Yunqi would have to wait many years before he could enter the officialdom and serve the court.

Emperor Mingde urgently needed fresh blood to replenish the court.

Many old officials nowadays are rigid-minded, too sophisticated and smooth, and have long forgotten their original intentions, and are only interested in living a life of idleness and waiting for death. This is not conducive to the development of the North Wing.

Alas, Shi Yunqi, ah Shi Yunqi, how nice it would be if this person was his son... No, no, no, to use Qi Youen's words, "They are all your people."

Yes, why should he bother with these vague things? Once the situation is open, all of them are his people!

But when he thought about the fact that that bastard Prince Jin was actually his son, he became extremely angry.

Emperor Mingde's mind was full of wild thoughts all night and he couldn't sleep at all. Where did the dream come from?

After tossing and turning until the third watch, Emperor Mingde suddenly sat up, opened the curtain and shouted, "I understand! I understand!"

The eunuch on duty was dozing off, but he was frightened by the roar and fell to the ground. He quickly got up and said, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Emperor Mingde got out of bed in high spirits, as if he had had a good sleep. He asked the eunuch to help him put on his clothes and went straight to the imperial study.

He got it!

He finally understood why Tang Chuyu knew about the disaster in Yucheng, and why the Jian'an Marquis Mansion was able to come up with so many disaster relief supplies at once, all of which were items urgently needed for the snow disaster.

It’s time for Anxia!

At that time, An Xia dreamed of the snow disaster in Yucheng, but she didn't dare to make it public. She could only quietly prepare relief supplies on her own.

His blood boiled and his chest was filled with a deep emotion!

The little girl was not just saying: I love Beiyi as much as you do!

She loves the North Wing! She loves this country! She is a good girl with great love!

Shouldn't those officials who play power games all day long and the literati who only know how to sing praises be ashamed?

Emperor Mingde reviewed the records of disaster relief supplies and disaster relief details again overnight, and was deeply shocked when he read the memorial reporting the disaster.

At this time, I was even more shocked than that day because I got a glimpse of the truth.

He knew very well how much pressure the little girl had to bear to let her uncle raise the disaster in the court. Imagining how the little girl quietly prepared supplies, his eyes inexplicably became moist.

Amid the excitement, there were also bursts of dull pain.

Fortunately, he believed Tang Chuyu, dealt with the corrupt officials on the spot, and arranged disaster relief tasks. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a chilling relief for the little girl?

Emperor Mingde believed that Shi Anxia had arranged for the wealthy Chen family to stay in Yucheng to help with disaster relief.

After all, that was the home of her adoptive father when she was a child. Regardless of whether he was trying to achieve a class jump, he actually spent money and got something done.

At this time, Emperor Mingde's gratitude and appreciation for Shi Anxia reached its peak.

When he thought of that calm and composed little girl who was not easily surprised by fame or criticism, his heart was filled with warmth.

If it were possible to confer her a title of nobility or prime minister, he would have wanted to award her a knighthood.

If the title of nobility cannot be conferred, then what shall be conferred... Originally, he was planning to confer the title of county princess on the little girl, but the atmosphere had already reached this point, and he felt that the title of county princess could not express his surging emotions at all.

Then let's call her Princess Haiyan, which means "peaceful rivers and peaceful seas."

With such a good girl and thousands of good men in Beiyi, why should we worry that the country won't be peaceful and the people won't be safe? Why should we worry that the prosperous times won't last forever?

After dawn, the imperial edict arrived at the Mansion of Marquis Jian'an.

Eunuch Qi announced the decree at the gate of Marquis Jian'an's mansion.

It was a time when there were many people around, and soon the place was surrounded by people who came to watch the fun.

With the support of Yu Sujun, Shi Chengyi, despite his injuries, brought Shi Anxia and everyone in the mansion to the door to receive the decree and kneel down to thank God for his grace.

No one noticed that a few people in the crowd were staring at the girl with bright eyes and white teeth like venomous snakes...
