Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

Prince Pei said, "Among the eight prefectures outside the capital, Tianhe Prefecture has its own unique characteristics compared to the other prefectures."

"Because it's blocked by a towering mountain range that runs from north to south, moisture from the sea and rivers can't reach it. Tianhe Prefecture is always drier than other prefectures, sometimes even experiencing drought three out of five years. This prevents the people from living and working in peace, and also hinders economic development. Furthermore, the terrain is relatively low, so in years with good rainfall, waterlogging easily forms, leading to disasters. Many officials who have taken office in Tianhe Prefecture have been helpless in dealing with these problems and have been unable to achieve any achievements."

"In terms of managing droughts, floods, and other agricultural affairs, the Princess Zhenguo has not only made contributions in Liuzhou. A few years ago, she also used bridges to control floods in the Southern Kingdom, helping the country survive the winter frost. From then on, they were able to grow an extra crop of grain every year, filling the people's granaries. It can be said that the Princess Zhenguo has many ways and means to deal with these difficult issues affecting people's livelihoods."

The emperor listened and his expression relaxed a lot.

"Prince Pei's words really touched my heart."

He swept his gaze around the hall and said, "Anyone who objects will be responsible for governing Tianhe Province. If they fail to achieve results within three years, I will strip them of their official position and title."

As a result, the ministers did not dare to speak, and they stammered and lowered their heads. Even if some of them were still dissatisfied, they did not dare to protest easily.

The emperor did have this consideration, but he did not think about it in such detail. He just took into account that as a princess guarding the country, she should have a fiefdom of considerable size, and it should not be too far away. It is naturally impossible to give it to Qiao Jianer in a state that is too prosperous and good. He thought of Tianhe State, which is acceptable but more troublesome.

With Qiao Lian'er's ability, Tianhe Province will definitely have a new look once it falls into her hands. This is certainly a good thing. If there is no improvement, then it will remain as her fiefdom. As long as everything is stable and she behaves herself, he will not make any additional demands.

But since a minister had said it at the Lantern Festival banquet, Qiao Jianer was pushed into a situation where he had no choice but to do it.

The emperor looked at Qiao Jian'er and said, "Princess, just focus on making your mark in Tianhe Province. I await good news from you."

Qiao Jian'er said respectfully, "I will do my best and not let the emperor down."

Originally, she could have just left it alone and no one would have said anything as long as she maintained the previous situation, but now she had to produce results.

If there is no improvement, these ministers will definitely clamor for her to return the fiefdom.

But since it is your own land, it won't do you any harm to spend a little more time on it.

Now no one raised any more objections, and the awarding ceremony began.

Qiao Jian'er took the seal of the Princess Zhenguo and the seal of Tianhe Province, and her heart was filled with emotion.

From today on, her life took a big step forward, the road became wider, but she also had to be more cautious.

If you climb too high, you will fall hard if you fall.

In addition to the fiefdom and seal, boxes of rewards were carried to the Qiao Mansion, at least sixty boxes in total.

Those boxes last time were just appetizers.

After the Lantern Festival banquet, he walked out of the palace and was surrounded by ministers.

"Congratulations, Princess Zhenguo."

"Congratulations! You are so promising at such a young age. Your future is limitless."

"Princess Zhenguo, please give me more guidance in the future. My Murong Mansion welcomes you to visit us at any time."

These ministers were of the first or second rank. Seeing how much the emperor valued Qiao Jian'er, they naturally wanted to curry favor with her.

You may not necessarily gain anything by showing your courtesy, but showing your attitude is better than ignoring everything.

"You gentlemen are all loyal ministers of the Daze State. I need to learn a lot from you." Qiao Jianer said politely with a smile.

She did not show any displeasure towards those ministers who raised objections at the Lantern Festival banquet.

When most people had left, she saw that Prince Pei had not yet boarded the carriage, so she went over to express her gratitude.

Prince Pei seemed a little worried: "Tianhe Province has many problems. The princess is now under fire. I don't know how much confidence she has."

"I'll give it a try." Qiao Jian'er said, "After all, it's a big state, and managing it still takes a lot of effort."

"My original intention in saying these things was to help the Princess get her fiefdom, but it also left her with trouble."

"I am grateful to Prince Pei in my heart, because I want such a fiefdom more than trouble, and it is my fiefdom, so I naturally have to take good care of it. This is my duty." Qiao Jianer was very calm.

Prince Pei nodded. Since Qiao Jianer said so, he no longer had too much psychological burden.

I have to say that this girl knows how to behave. These words dispelled his uneasiness.

"Your status as a princess is very different now, and you have more things to do. I don't know how many eyes will be watching your every move, so you have to be careful in everything you do."

"Thank you, Prince Pei, for your reminder. For myself, for the Qiao family behind me, and for the people who care about me and me, I will take one step at a time and think three steps ahead."

Prince Pei felt relieved to hear this, because these words also included Pei Er.

Qiao Lian'er's personality is such that if you treat her well, she will treat you well too, not to mention the relationship of entrusting each other with their lives, so he doesn't have to worry at all that Pei Er's choice will be let down.

On the way back, Pei Zhujin asked, "Does father agree to the marriage between Princess Zhenguo and my younger brother?"

"Jin'er, don't blame your father for being snobbish. In the capital, you have to rely on your own abilities to survive. Marriage is a big deal, and you have to make a thorough assessment."

"But to be honest, I still feel a little bit in awe of Princess Zhenguo's abilities."

"Father, beyond weighing the pros and cons, there is true love in the world. The Princess and her brother have walked hand in hand and relied on each other. To them, the latter is the most important thing."

Prince Pei nodded: "That's right, no one can separate them. They can get married whenever they want. Right now, the Qiao family is busy with the marriage with the Lin family. These things come one after another. They are still young, so there is no rush."

Overnight, the news that Qiao Jian'er became the Princess of the Nation and was granted the fiefdom of Tianhe Province spread throughout the capital.

For a moment, everyone was shocked and talked about it.

This is the first time that a princess of a different surname has such great power.

The high-ranking families were envious and jealous, but they had to admit that he did have this ability.

The Qiao family was also immersed in joy, and no one could sleep all night.

According to regulations, Qiao Jianer needs to attend some important court meetings, but he does not have to attend court at other times.

This gave her a lot of freedom.

The day after Qiao Jianer went to Tianhe Prefecture for a field trip, Qiao Zhizhi received a letter.

The letter contained only a short message, saying that Qiao Jianer was surrounded by rioters in Tianhe Province and could not escape.
