After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Chapter 185: Conferring the title of Princess Chun'an

Shen Yanli said unhappily, "Qingqing has always been very respectful to you, Father. Everything she did was for her family and to give others justice. If they hadn't sought their own death, would Qingqing have forced them to do such a heinous thing? They brought this upon themselves, so don't blame Qingqing for sending her to her doom!"

Emperor Jingyou glared at Shen Yanli angrily, "Asshole, I didn't say she did anything wrong, and you talk to me like that."

A smile suddenly appeared on Shen Yanli's handsome face. "Father is indeed sensible. Qingqing, father doesn't blame you anymore. Hurry up and get up. Everyone, hurry up and get up."

Ye Qingyu and the others couldn't really stand up, so they just took advantage of the situation and apologized, "Your Majesty is wise, but I have done something wrong. Please forgive me!"

Emperor Jingyou looked at his son's distressed expression, sighed, and said, "Alright, everyone get up."

He sighed, "I'm not the kind of person who's unreasonable. You acted too suddenly today, and I didn't react for a moment. You should have informed me of such a big thing in advance so that I could be mentally prepared."

Seeing that His Majesty was truly kind and merciful, and had no intention of blaming her, Ye Qingyu kowtowed sincerely, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy and forgiveness. You are the best Your Majesty. I know your kindness, and I relied on your forgiveness to do what I did today."

Emperor Jingyou looked at Ye Qingyu, a delicate and delicate little girl. She had to worry about the affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion these days, and she was able to avenge her mother's murder so perfectly. She was really a capable child. If she were a boy, she would be a pillar of the court.

Alas, what a pity.

"So, you started refusing to accept my reward because of your mother's matter?"

Ye Qingyu nodded. "What I have done has offended the imperial family. Even with the merits of my grandfather and his men, I have still offended the royal family. Your Majesty, you have shown me great mercy by sparing my life. How can I possibly accept your reward?"

Ye Qingyu spoke with great sincerity, and her clear eyes looked at Emperor Jingyou sincerely. Emperor Jingyou was immediately filled with anger at her understanding and sincerity.

"Reward where it's due, punish where it's due. You're seeking justice for your mother's murder. That's filial piety, and you're not wrong. As for Shaoyang." Emperor Jingyou's expression turned cold. "If it weren't for her own sin, you wouldn't have been able to catch her. The Emperor breaks the law, and he's guilty as much as the common people. I won't allow this imperial pest to harm the world of Daqing!"

"You shall continue to receive my reward. You deserve it. If you had not seen through the Xiongnu's capriciousness and the schemes of those wicked men in the court, the northern border would have been in real danger. As a woman, you cannot serve in the court, nor can your merits be known to the people. I can only reward you in this way."

"Ye Qingyu, you are a good child. You should accept my reward with peace of mind."

The Duke of Zhenguo expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not taking Qingyu's ignorance seriously and causing you so much trouble."

Shen Yanli smiled pleasantly, "Your Majesty, Father is indeed the best. Qingqing will be your daughter-in-law in the future. No matter how much you reward her, it will be a blessing for her."

Emperor Jingyou glared at him unhappily, "You're the only one who talks too much."

Ye Qingyu felt warm in her heart as she watched the interaction between the father and son.

Your Majesty is like an ordinary father in front of the King of Chu, without the aloof and difficult-to-approach aura of the emperor, and Shen Yanli will not be as cold in front of Your Majesty as he is in front of other people.

Emperor Jingyou turned to look at Ye Qingyu with a gentler look in his eyes. "Show your respects, everyone, go back and let me be quiet for a while. I will have Dequan go to the Zhenguogong Mansion to read out the imperial edict of the award."

"By the way, how about connecting your Princess Mansion to your Qingyuan Marquis Mansion and the Earl's Mansion next to it?" Emperor Jingyou thought about the mansion he had given to Ye Qingyu.

Originally, he wanted to give Ye Qingyu a noble mansion next to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, which was also close to the Duke's Mansion.

I didn't expect so many things to happen today. After all, Qingyuan Marquis Mansion is where Ye Qingyu grew up and she is familiar with it. The Grand Princess Mansion exceeds the regulations and cannot be given to her. Qingyuan Marquis Mansion plus the Earl's Mansion next to it that has been vacant for many years is much larger than an ordinary princess's mansion.

Ye Qingyu knew that His Majesty had good intentions and kowtowed in gratitude with joy, "Thank you, Your Majesty. This is naturally the best."

Although she no longer had much affection for the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, if it became her own residence in the future, her mother's Tingyunju could be preserved, and the servants of the Marquis Mansion would not have to have nowhere to go, which would be a good thing.

Emperor Jingyou nodded, "Well, I will have the Ministry of Works renovate the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion and will definitely give you a brand new Princess' Mansion."

Ye Qingyu thanked him again.

When I left the imperial study, the sun was already high overhead and it was noon.

When Ye Qingyu and others returned to the Duke's Mansion, Eunuch Dequan was already waiting at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Eunuch Dequan smiled kindly, "Miss Ye, why don't you accept the decree here? The sooner the decree is announced, the sooner I can return to the palace to report to His Majesty."

Gratitude flashed in Ye Qingyu's eyes. Eunuch Dequan was not in a hurry to return to the palace. He wanted to let more people know that she had been conferred the title of Princess.

"I will listen to you, father-in-law."

Ye Qingyu and others knelt down to receive the order.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Ye Qingyu, the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, is gentle, kind, and of pure character. Her filial piety has moved Heaven. During the floods in the south of the Yangtze River and the snowstorms in the north, Ye Qingyu generously donated money and food, devoting all her energy to the resettlement of the people. In recognition of her contributions, I hereby confer the title of Princess Chun'an, grant her a seat as Princess, and a fief of 500 households. I decree this."

"My lord, thank you for your kindness."

Eunuch Dequan left after delivering the imperial edict. The people watching the excitement around were happy for Ye Qingyu and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Your Majesty is compensating the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

"That's right. The Duke's Mansion is at the highest level, and Miss Ye has indeed done a lot of good things, so she has received such a reward."

"That's right. During the snowstorm a while ago, the number of refugees outside the city was really scary. I heard that Miss Ye donated food and charcoal. She has a really kind heart. I didn't expect that Miss Ye also donated so much money and food to the south and north borders."

"Hey, have you heard? The mansions of the Marquis of Qingyuan and the Grand Princess have been confiscated. I heard that the Marquis of Qingyuan and the Grand Princess of Shaoyang are really finished this time. All the evil deeds they have done have been reported to His Majesty."

"I knew the drum at the palace gate had been struck. I even saw the man beating the drum beaten to a bloody pulp. It was terrifying!"

"If this wasn't a huge grudge, who would take the blame and file a complaint with the emperor? I heard the complaint was filed against the Marquis of Qingyuan's mansion."

The people were chattering about everything as Ye Qingyu was escorted by Jiang and others into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
