The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

"Today, everyone is here to celebrate Miss Song's victory. Let's all congratulate them on their successful disaster relief efforts."

Emperor Changlong was overjoyed. “Especially Miss Song, she has become the second ‘Umbrella of Ten Thousand People’ in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is the people’s recognition of her and their trust in the court. I hope everyone will learn from her and truly put the people first.”

"Congratulations, Miss Song."

As the sound rang out, everyone's eyes turned to Song Siyao.

Some people are envious, some are happy, but most are jealous.

In this world, besides your closest relatives, loved ones, and friends, who else truly wants you to be happy?

Some people may want you to be doing well, but they don't want you to be doing better than them.

Song Siyao is living a better life than most people now, so naturally, there are many people who don't like her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you everyone. I will stay true to my original aspirations and continue to move forward, living up to the expectations of the people, Your Majesty, and everyone else."

Song Siyao stood upright, his voice was strong and clear, and his eyes were bright and clear.

Emperor Changlong looked at Song Siyao with increasing satisfaction. He nodded and continued, "Wang Fu, proclaim the imperial decree!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang Fu picked up the imperial edict, unfolded it, and read aloud, "By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: The daughter of the Song family, named Siyao, is intelligent, dignified, virtuous, and kind-hearted. She possesses superb medical skills and cares deeply for the people. She has rendered meritorious service in treating the plague in Anzhou, saving tens of thousands of lives. Her merits are immeasurable. She is hereby granted the title of Princess Ning'an. It is hoped that you will not forget your original aspirations and continue to benefit the people. This is the imperial decree."

After he finished reading, he smiled and looked at Song Siyao, "Second Miss Song, accept the decree."

Song Siyao was unaware of this imperial edict beforehand.

She knelt down, received the imperial edict with both hands, and loudly expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will certainly live up to Your Majesty's high expectations and dedicate my life to benefiting the people of the world."

"Good, Ning'an, rise quickly." Emperor Changlong even changed his form of address, his face full of joy. "Take a seat quickly. Today is your victory celebration banquet. Be sure to eat and drink well and reward yourselves properly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Song Siyao took her seat.

Wang Fu looked at Song Siyao and gave her a kind, elder-like smile.

His eyes welled up with tears, and he quickly looked into the distance, silently thinking, "My lord, look, your daughter has grown up. She can earn merit through her own abilities, she can stand on her own, and she has gained the emperor's favor."

My lord, you can rest assured.

Wang Fu's heart is sincere and precious, unlike the others.

"She just cured a plague, and she was actually made a princess? How could Song Siyao be worthy of it?" Yang Minjing muttered in a low voice.

Although her voice was very soft, Jiang Hexia, who was standing next to her, still heard it.

Jiang Hexia stood up abruptly, pointed at Yang Minjing, and loudly questioned, "Miss Yang, why did you scold Princess Ning'an? Her title of princess was bestowed by the Emperor. If you have any grievances, take them out on the Emperor. Why are you bullying Sister Song?"

"Sister Song is not worthy of being called a princess, so do you think you are? Sister Song risked her life in Anzhou, working tirelessly for days and nights without rest, food, or drink to save the people. What were you doing then? You were enjoying yourself in the capital!"

After she finished speaking, the room fell silent, completely still.

Wei Hongjin had also wanted to curse. She wanted to say that even if Song Siyao had the title of princess, so what? She still didn't have royal blood. It was just a title, and she didn't care about it at all.

Su Qingshuang was more cunning than Wei Hongjin and Yang Minjing. Her hatred was all in her fingertips, which she pinched until they hurt. Moreover, she felt that everything in front of her was a dream.

In the blink of an eye, Song Siyao's status and position had surpassed hers.

From now on, she would have to bow to Song Siyao whenever she saw her, which was an utter disgrace to her.

After hearing Jiang Hexia's words, Wei Hongjin and Su Qingshuang secretly rejoiced that they hadn't spoken their true feelings, otherwise they would have gone crazy in this atmosphere.

Yang Minjing looked around at the stares. She stood there, wishing she could disappear into the ground. She felt embarrassed and scared.

Her instinctive reaction was to deny it and retort, "You're talking nonsense! I didn't insult her!"

"I heard everything, and you still won't admit it. You're such a coward, you dare to do it but not admit it!" Jiang Hexia was both angry and disgusted.

"I..." Yang Minjing's face was flushed, and her eyes darted around. Anyone with eyes could tell that she was lying and that she must have just cursed Song Siyao.

Emperor Changlong's face immediately darkened. He had just bestowed the title of Princess upon Song Siyao, and in front of him no less, yet someone dared to insult her.

It's easy to imagine how those people slandered Song Siyao behind his back.

He knew why those people were slandering Song Siyao; it was simply because Song Siyao had once been a fool and had severed ties with the General's Mansion.

Those people believed that Song Siyao was inferior and should be despised by them.

However, he believed that there must have been a reason for Song Siyao's past foolishness. As for the matter with the General's Mansion, he said that the General's Mansion was blind and did not cherish her as a precious pearl.

Besides, even the emperor himself has never looked down on Song Siyao in the slightest, so what right do those people have to gossip?

Could it be that he, as the emperor, is less capable of recognizing people than they are?

To say that Song Siyao is unworthy is to criticize him for his poor judgment in choosing a person.

He will never allow anyone to slander the people he values ​​and is focusing on developing.

"Who are you, woman? How dare you slander Princess Ning'an! Do you know your crime?"

"Your subject...your subject..." Yang Minjing was terrified. She hadn't expected that Emperor Changlong would not even ask any questions before directly ordering her punishment.

"Your Majesty, this is my daughter. She is young and ignorant and offended Princess Ning'an. Please forgive her!" Vice Minister Yang of the Ministry of Revenue scrambled over to beg for forgiveness.

"It is the father's fault if he raises his son but does not teach him!"

Emperor Changlong did not want to say more and directly sentenced him.

"Guards, drag Vice Minister Yang away and give him ten strokes of the cane. Let him go back and properly discipline his daughter! How can he do his official duties well if he can't even discipline his own daughter?"

"Miss Yang has been disrespectful and disrespectful. She is to be punished with five strokes of the cane and ordered to go back and copy the scriptures one hundred times. She must finish copying them within three days, or she will be severely punished!"

Minister Yang prostrated himself on the ground, his voice trembling, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"

After that beating, his reputation will be ruined, and his authority will be gone.

When he gets back, he will definitely give this blind daughter a good scolding.

Yang Minjing's face turned pale. She didn't want to be beaten. She had to copy the scriptures a hundred times in three days, unless she didn't eat, drink, rest, or sleep and copied them without stopping for a moment.

However, after three days of this, her hands will definitely be ruined, and she may never be able to play the piano or paint again.

However, Song Wenwu said that he liked her painting and playing the zither the most. If she can no longer play the zither and paint, will Song Wenwu despise her?

Yang Minjing was filled with remorse.

However, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

After today, the entire capital will know that she was punished by Emperor Changlong, and her reputation will be ruined. How can she, who has always been arrogant, bear this?

She fainted on the spot!
