The queen of the end times is reborn and goes crazy, her whole family is burned to death
Chapter 87 The First County Lord with a Fiefdom
The emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked into the hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. His majestic gaze seemed to be real as he slowly swept around and finally settled on Yan Wanwan.
Seeing this, the Queen moved lightly, bowed gracefully, and said in a delicate voice, "Your Majesty, you have come at a perfect time. I was thinking about the refugees' hardship and wanted to help everyone. But I didn't expect the General's wife to be so stingy, only willing to give 500 taels of silver. This is really..."
She pursed her red lips and wiped away the nonexistent tears with the corner of her handkerchief, muttering to herself, "It's not that I think it's too little, but the general's wife's dowry is generous, and the whole country knows it. Now that the country is in trouble, she is so inactive. It's really heartbreaking."
The emperor's expression froze, and he turned to look at Yan Wanwan, anger gradually welling up on his face.
The queen lowered her head slightly, but a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. In her heart, Yan Wanwan was probably doomed today. She went against her and she would make sure she died without a complete corpse.
However, the Emperor suddenly glared at the Empress and said in a deep voice, "Haven't I already ordered her not to donate any more? In times of crisis, Yan Wanwan was the first to rush to the disaster area, single-handedly shouldering the heavy burden of reconstruction. She not only relieved the urgent needs of the people of Nanping Prefecture, but also took care of their daily needs. This is an unprecedented contribution that benefits both the country and the people. How can we allow her to spend money again?"
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned. The Queen was even more frightened and cried out in disbelief, "Your Majesty, why do you rely on your own strength?"
The Emperor raised his head slightly, a pleased smile on his face. He immediately moved to Yan Wanwan and praised her personally: "You all may not know that when the earth was turning, the general's wife went to the disaster area in person. Not only did she bring a large amount of food to relieve the refugees' worries about food and clothing, she also built many workshops in the local area to seek livelihoods for the refugees. Such magnanimity and generosity are a model for all wives in the world."
Yan Wanwan bowed and humbly said, "Your Majesty, I appreciate your praise. This is all my duty. Furthermore, the five hundred taels of silver were donated in the name of the General's Mansion, so it's only right that we do so."
The queen's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. Her throat seemed to be choked by something, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.
The emperor waved his hand. "Don't talk about what's your responsibility. Among all the ministers, you are the only woman who bravely went to the disaster area to provide relief. And you have done everything in a practical way, alleviating the court's urgent needs."
At this point, the Emperor glared at the Empress, his voice as cold as a blade: "And you! That little Yan is merely the wife of a minister, yet she had the courage to rush to the disaster area to offer aid. And you, the mistress of the harem, the mother of the nation, what else can you do besides show off your rhetoric? The good son you raised only retreats when faced with adversity. He has no royal dignity or bearing. He is truly unfit to shoulder this responsibility."
When the queen heard this, her body shook violently, she staggered and almost fell down, she was shaky and could hardly stand.
The emperor's words were extremely harsh. Not only did they completely deny the second prince's princely demeanor, but if everyone thought deeply about it, did the emperor's move also mean that he had no intention of making the second prince the crown prince?
Everyone had their own thoughts. After all, this was the first time that the emperor had shown his annoyance and impatience towards the Second Prince in public.
The emperor watched Yan Wanwan grow increasingly excited. He waved his arm and said loudly, "I will reward you handsomely and make you the Princess of Nanping County. From now on, Nanping will be your fiefdom."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. This was the first county lord in the history of the imperial court to own a fiefdom.
Yan Wanwan sneered in her heart. The emperor really had a good plan. If Nanping Prefecture was not her fiefdom, the court would have to compensate her for what she had done now in the future.
But now it has become her own fiefdom, that is, she uses her own money to build her own place, and the court does not have to care at all. Moreover, she can take action in Nanping Prefecture, a place prone to natural disasters. Any disasters in the future will be her, Yan Wanwan's, business, and will not have a penny to do with the court. It is really a profitable business!
The Empress couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to confer the title of County Master on the General's wife."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at her unhappily, "There is nothing wrong with it. This is the reward she deserves."
Yan Wanwan had a faint smile on her lips and bowed down, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"
It was not until this moment that everyone realized that Yan Wanwan had already taken action in the disaster relief work. When they thought about how they were complacent about the three melons and two cakes they donated, and how they even mocked her, they felt ashamed and embarrassed.
The title of county lady bestowed by the emperor was like an invisible slap in the face of everyone.
Qin Yu is already a general, and now Yan Wanwan has also become a county lady. Wouldn’t the couple become an obstacle to her and her son in the future?
Although the queen was unwilling, she did not dare to say anything more and could only swallow her anger silently.
After receiving the title, Yan Wanwan still behaved in a dignified and proper manner, without any arrogance. There was no need to show off at this time, as she understood the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind.
In subsequent palace banquets, Yan Wanwan became the focus of everyone's attention. Although many noble ladies flattered her on the surface, there was a hint of temptation and jealousy in their words.
Yan Wanwan responded skillfully, neither servile nor overbearing, but in her heart she was cursing everyone. These women were so fake. How had they just plotted against her behind her back? Now they were able to come over and flatter her as if nothing had happened. She felt embarrassed for them.
When she finally managed to slip out from the side door, she ran into the second prince by chance.
At this time, the Second Prince was blocking the road ahead. There was a complex emotion in his eyes when he looked at her, including resentment and helplessness. The gnashing of teeth made Yan Wanwan laugh. She just liked to see that you couldn't kill me and couldn't do anything to me.
"Is there something wrong with the Second Prince?"
"The General's wife is enjoying great glory now, but I wonder how long this blessing will last."
Yan Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly, her words full of sarcasm: "I really don't know about this, but she should have lasted longer than that unfortunate Miss Lu! Oh, by the way, I haven't seen Miss Lu for a long time. Ah, no, now she should be called your favorite concubine, the Second Prince. I wonder how she is doing recently?" The implication of her words is intriguing.
The Second Prince's expression suddenly changed. His eyes were filled with vigilance. He stared at Yan Wanwan intently and asked sternly, "What do you know?"
In fact, he was already in a panic, thinking to himself: Could it be that she knew that Lu Wanru had her limbs crippled?
Yan Wanwan had an unfathomable smile on her lips. That was something she did with her own hands, how could she not know?
The Second Prince felt even more guilty when she looked at him, so he could only nod repeatedly and say, "Good, you are very good."
Yan Wanwan remained calm and responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Second Prince, your compliments are unmerited. I am only trying my best to help, and everything depends on the grace of Your Majesty."
The second prince snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
Yan Wanwan scoffed at this, thinking to herself, "As the Emperor said, the Second Prince is overestimated. He's so afraid of everything, like a coward. He's a coward like that, and he'll never achieve anything great."
"Wanwan!"
A timid voice called out from behind her. She turned around and saw that it was her biological mother, Chen Mei'e, who had just been quiet for a while.
Chen Mei'e excitedly stepped forward and called out, "Wanwan, it really is you. Mommy missed you so much."
Yan Wanwan immediately avoided her touch and said with disgust, "Why are you in the palace?"
Later I learned that in order to raise more money for charity, the queen invited the families of all the officials in Jingzhao.
Chen Mei'e stared at her heartbrokenly, "Wanwan, are you still angry with me? I'm kneeling down for you, will you forgive me?"
"Then kneel down!"
Chen Mei'e's tears suddenly stopped flowing. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, as long as you can forgive me, I'm willing to do anything."
After saying this, she knelt heavily on the ground and said with great emotion: "Wanwan, mother really knows that she was wrong. You are my biological daughter, you..."
When she looked up again, the place in front of her was empty, and there was no trace of Yan Wanwan.
"Yan Wanwan!"
