She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

When they arrived at Taiming Palace, the soldiers were already seated in person as arranged by the palace servants.

There were so many people that some tables were arranged outside the hall.

Shangguan Ziqi brought all the generals above the rank of colonel into the palace.

This is the greatest victory achieved in a century.

This is a special honor bestowed upon them by the Emperor.

Shangguan Ziqi had already compiled the military achievements of each person and submitted them to the emperor in a memorial.

"Your Majesty, Empress, First Prince, Second Prince, Third Prince... have arrived."

With a long bow, the emperor led the empress and several princes into the palace.

Yu Yuanzheng saw that the eldest prince was walking on the left side of the emperor, only half a step behind, while the second and third princes were walking behind him.

He stood up formally.

The eldest prince is now full of vigor and vitality, and the two princes behind him cannot match his brilliance at all.

Even though the scar on his face is still there, it does not affect his radiance.

Everyone stood up and knelt.

"Your Highness, long live the Emperor!"

"Please stand up, everyone." Emperor Qiming looked radiant today, with a faint smile on his face.

Everyone took their seats.

"I am very happy today. I am gathered with all the soldiers to celebrate this hard-earned victory.

Since ancient times, heroes have emerged in large numbers, but I believe that today's soldiers are truly the heroes of the world.

Your deeds will be forever engraved on the monument of history and become a model for future generations to learn from.

The people will remember your achievements, and I will give you the honor and rewards you deserve.

At the same time, I also hope that all the soldiers can continue to maintain this brave and fearless spirit, defend our country, and achieve long-term stability in our Great Wei.

Today I will host a banquet in Taiming Palace. All officers and soldiers can enjoy a drink. I have prepared a hangover soup for you."

Emperor Qiming spoke with great passion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, Eunuch Hai, read it."

Eunuch Hai took the imperial edict from a tray held by a palace servant next to him and began to read it one by one.

"Shangguan Ziqi was appointed General, and given a thousand acres of fertile land and a hundred pieces of brocade...

Chen Shizhong granted him the title of Earl of Yongding, which could be inherited for three generations, and a thousand taels of gold...

......"

It took Eunuch Hai a full three quarters of an hour to finish reading out the rewards for all the soldiers.

Every soldier was awarded a military medal and the Ministry of War was ordered to keep records.

All the soldiers were in high spirits.

Then the banquet began.

There were few women present today, but the soldiers knew that this was the imperial palace.

Although the emperor said that everyone could drink as much as they wanted, no one dared to get drunk.

After three rounds of drinks, the emperor stood up again.

"My dear ministers, I am sure you all know that there is a true hero whom I have not yet rewarded.

He was not a soldier, nor was he a court official, but in times of national crisis, he stepped forward to save our entire army from danger and the people of Wei from life and death.

He is Zeng Yuan, the adopted son of Prince Jing and the miraculous doctor.

When Yu Yuanzheng heard that she was mentioned, she immediately stood up, walked to the middle and bowed.

"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. As a citizen of the Great Wei, this is what I deserve." Yu Yuanzheng said righteously.

Of course, she went to the front line sincerely.

Her husband is the commander-in-chief, and the Rong Palace is the protector of the Great Wei. Since she has married into the Rong Palace, she has the ability and the responsibility.

"Zeng Yuan, if it weren't for you, that smallpox would have killed almost all the soldiers, and Canglan's evil plan would have succeeded. Your contribution is the greatest. I would like to hear what reward you want?" Emperor Qiming asked with a smile.

Let her ask for the reward herself?

Aren’t you afraid that she will ask for too much?

"Your Majesty, please give me anything you want. It doesn't have to be too expensive." Yu Yuanzheng didn't have the nerve to act like a money-grubber in front of so many people.

That would damage her image as a miracle doctor.

So it's said casually.

"Haha, you are not greedy. Two days ago, I asked Prince Rong and Prince Jing if they had any good suggestions. Prince Rong said that he would reward you with the title of Marquis of Zhenguo. In history, there has only been a Duke of Zhenguo, but there has never been a Marquis of Zhenguo. I think this proposal is very good. What do you think?" Emperor Qiming asked Yu Yuanzheng's opinion again.

After hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng felt that this was a serious matter.

Marquisates are usually awarded to men, what is a woman like her going to do here?

She turned to look at her father and husband, wanting to seek their advice.

She didn't quite understand whether she could keep the title.

She has two sons, so it would be nice to give it to the second son.

She thought selfishly.

As a result, the father did not say anything, but Shangguan Ziqi actually nodded.

"If Your Majesty thinks it's okay to give it, I will accept it. But I'm afraid you'll give it and then want to take it back." Yu Yuanzheng was very bold, knowing that the emperor was in a particularly good mood today.

"My words are as good as gold. How could I take them back?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Yuanzheng thanked him respectfully and bowed deeply.

"Okay, I will make you the Marquis of Zhenguo."

"Your Majesty, I bow to thank you." This time, Yu Yuanzheng knelt down to express her gratitude sincerely. With the title, she politely called herself a minister instead of a commoner.

As for the Marquis, it is an achievement that others cannot earn in their entire life.

Didn’t you see that General Chen was the only one given the title of earl?

And she was a marquis. She had never killed an enemy, only saved people.

"Well, get up. Your secret formula for preventing smallpox is a priceless treasure. You did a great job preventing smallpox this time, and you also managed to keep it secret. Tomorrow, come to the palace and discuss this matter with me."

The implication was obvious: she should hand it over to the court.

She knew that the emperor would sell it for money.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Can I give the title of Marquis of Zhenguo to my son in the future?" Yu Yuanzheng had to ask clearly first.

"Of course." The emperor thought she asked a stupid question.

If not to my son, who else should I pass it on to?

"Your Majesty, you can also reward Dr. Zeng with a wife." Liu Yunshu suddenly appeared and advised the emperor.

"Haha, Princess Nine, this is a good idea." Emperor Qiming laughed.

If this kid is willing, there is no problem in marrying his princess to him.

"Your Majesty, this princess is willing to do this reward. Please grant me your blessing." Liu Yunshu said and bowed.

In front of the whole hall, she was not shy at all, causing people to whisper.

She looked at the emperor eagerly, waiting for his approval.

After hearing this, Emperor Qiming's smiling face remained the same, and he did not show any displeasure at the Ninth Princess's request.

"What do you think, Marquis Zhenguo?" Emperor Qiming leaned forward, supporting his chin with one hand.

"Your Majesty, this won't do."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, you will understand once you see my face."

Yu Yuanzheng originally wanted to reveal it in private, but Liu Yunshu jumped out in front of so many people to cause trouble, so she had no choice but to let her give up the idea and reveal her identity in public.

She raised her hand and slowly touched the lower right corner of the mask.

Everyone watched her movements, expectantly watching her face gradually reveal itself.

When the entire mask was removed, everyone who knew Yu Yuanzheng was shocked.

"You, you, you..., you are the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Rong's Mansion?" Emperor Qiming had been on the throne for many years, but he had never encountered such a thing.

Even he stuttered, so imagine how other people who knew her but didn't know she was Yu Yuanzheng would feel.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant Yu Yuanzheng pays her respects to the Emperor." Yu Yuanzheng knelt down again and resumed her female voice.

She was afraid that the emperor would punish her for deceiving the emperor.

Liu Yunshu didn't feel anything when she saw Yu Yuanzheng's face because she had never seen Yu Yuanzheng before.

But when the emperor said she was the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Rong's Mansion, she was completely stunned.

"What do you mean?" she murmured foolishly.

Only then did Cao Jinyu come forward and pull her back to her seat.

"She's a woman, it's impossible for her to marry you. She already has three children."

"How could this happen?" she murmured to herself again.
