Chapter 750 The Princess's Reward

Although he found an excuse, Xu Boyan was still surprised that so many people came.

The eldest princess lifted the curtain and got out of the car to look over: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Xu Boyan then whispered, "When Hexian County was hit by a flood, the Chen family saved the entire village. Now all the houses in this village were built by the Chen family."

"How come no one reported such a great achievement to the court?" The eldest princess didn't believe it.

You have to ask Xu Boyan about this.

This matter was mentioned in the memorial that He Tangchun wrote to the court, and it was also indicated that the prescription was from Chen Kexian, so Xu Boyan stopped the memorial.

It was normal that memorials from such a small place could not be submitted to the emperor. Xu Boyan directly recommended merits for He Tangchun in the memorial at the provincial level, and He Tangchun was promoted, but Chen Ke did not show up at all.

But Xu Boyan never expected that the eldest princess would ask about this matter one day.

"The county magistrate of Hexian County changed frequently at that time, so the memorial might have been missed," Xu Boyan guessed.

The eldest princess knew this was possible: "You go and deal with it."

"Yes." Xu Boyan took the order and went over.

Zheng Fengan saw Xu Boyan and saluted: "Sir Xu, we know you are a good official, we just want to meet the scholar's wife."

"Wait a moment." Xu Boyan nodded.

Zheng Fengan was no longer so anxious when he saw Xu Boyan agreed. Perhaps these people were not here to cause trouble for the Chen family, but for something else.

Soon Xu Boyan called Gao E out.

The eldest princess asked Xu Boyan to deal with it, but Xu Boyan called Gao E out and asked what the two of them wanted to do.

"Uncle Zheng." Gao E saw that everyone in the village had arrived. "What are you doing..."

"Are you okay?" Zheng Fengan glanced at the people surrounding the Chen family.

"It's okay, just let the villagers go." Gao E knew that the villagers were there to support her.

But at the level of the eldest princess, no matter how many people come, it will be useless.

"If you have something to say, don't let your family bear the burden. After all, this is our territory." Zheng Fengan reminded.

"It's really okay, they are Que'er's family." Gao E said directly, "They are here to take Que'er home."

Zheng Fengan suddenly realized that the Que'er family was not simple, judging by the situation: "That's good."

After Gao E gave a few instructions, Zheng Fengan took his men away.

The eldest princess kept looking at Gao E. She didn't expect that Gao not only bewitched her daughter, but also the whole village protected her like this.

After sending away the villagers, Gao E came over and paid her respects to the eldest princess.

"Do you know my identity?" The eldest princess looked at Gao E.

"Lord Xu is an official, but he treats you with such respect. He must not be an ordinary person." Gao E said respectfully.

The princess looked at Gao E. Although she was a village woman, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and was very graceful and generous. "Why did you save my daughter?"

"If I meet her, I will save her no matter whose daughter she is." Gao E said calmly.

The princess didn't believe there was such a simple person: "When did you know her identity?"

"Her identity?" Gao E was a little confused.

"Stop pretending. You are good friends with Xu Boyan, how could you not know our identities?" The eldest princess sneered.

Xu Boyan saluted fearfully: "I dare not reveal your identity at all."

The eldest princess couldn't tell the truth from the falsehood: "Then what about the letter you asked my daughter to write?"

"She said that was her uncle." Gao E looked confused.

"Then why did you let Prince Wang leave?" The eldest princess wanted to see how Gao E would explain.

"Today at the Yaji, we are going to compete with the people from Danyang Society, and I don't want people who are not from Yaji to be present and influence the outcome." Gao E said apologetically.

"Is it that simple?" The eldest princess pressed.

"Of course, I also want to take advantage of the elegant gathering to announce the establishment of Qingtan Academy." Gao E did not hide it.

Now that the matter has been announced, the eldest princess can no longer do anything in public.

"Just you guys? Building an academy?" The eldest princess seemed to have heard a joke.

"Why not?" Gao E asked in return, "When the sage taught, he would sit on the floor, and students all over the world were proud to be his students."

The eldest princess suddenly felt that what her daughter said might be true, and that there really were such naive people in the world.

She laughed and said, "Your courage is commendable. If I were here, I would definitely praise you."

"Princess?" Gao E was stunned, then looked at Xu Boyan uncertainly.

Xu Boyan saluted and said, "This is the eldest princess of Dachang, and her daughter is the Princess Qingfeng."

"So..." Gao'e's acting skills burst forth, "We take that one in?"

Xu Boyan nodded.

Gao E really didn't want to kneel, but in order to get away with it, she knelt down in fear and said, "I didn't know you were a princess. I hope you can forgive me."

The princess was very pleased to see Gao E like this: "Get up, ignorance is not a crime."

Gao E then stood up, but did not look up.

The princess lowered her eyes when she saw Gao E like this, then looked at Xu Boyan: "Go and call her husband out."

Xu Boyan didn't know what the princess was going to do, so he turned around and called Chen Ke out.

"Husband, this is the eldest princess." Gao E reminded.

Chen Ke was stunned. Seeing Lord Xu's attitude towards her, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and said, "I didn't know you were the princess. I hope you can forgive me."

The eldest princess looked down at Chen Ke and said, "You have done a great service by taking in Princess Qingfeng. How about I give you six beautiful concubines?"

Several people were stunned. They didn't expect that the eldest princess would give such a reward.

Chen Ke was even more shocked: "Princess Qingfeng was saved by my wife, and it was also my wife who took her in. I dare not take credit for it."

The princess was quite surprised that Chen Ke was actually such a gentleman: "She is your wife. What she does is your credit. Why not?"

"Ms. Gao is my wife, not my servant. Her achievements belong to her." Chen Ke's voice was trembling, but firm.

Xu Boyan lowered his eyes and looked at Chen Ke lying on the ground. No wonder Gao E was so devoted to Chen Ke.

Chen Ke doesn't have much ability, but he is obedient and upright, and he doesn't back down when facing the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was also quite surprised.

The men around her were either seeking wealth or fame, otherwise why would such young talents follow an old woman like her? This was the first time someone refused her reward.

"Think carefully! If you accept these six beautiful concubines, I can recommend you for an official position. By then, you will have achieved great success and fame, and I will also give you a house, gold and silver. You can live a carefree life."

Gao E was moved by what the eldest princess said. Why couldn't she have such a good thing?

Chen Ke was sweating profusely after hearing this and didn't dare to respond at all.

He didn't believe such a good thing could happen.

Besides, he had heard of the eldest princess's reputation: she was handsome but cruel. How could he deserve such a reward from the eldest princess? She must be teasing him.

The eldest princess sneered in her heart as she watched Chen Ke remain silent for a long time. It turns out that all men are the same. They pretend to be noble, but they just don't have enough bargaining chips.

"What the princess said is true." Gao E asked when she saw Chen Ke didn't say anything.

"What? Do you doubt this princess?" The eldest princess saw that Gao E looked a little excited.

"We farmers don't have much knowledge. The princess wrote it down and signed it." Gao E said quickly.
