Rong Yan cupped his hands. “The Clairvoyant and those convenient fast food contributed greatly to the victory over Xiongnu this time. Hence, although the person who made such a contribution has no interest in fame and fortune, I still want to ask for favors for her, in case someone bullies her just because she doesn’t put on airs!”
“Someone” aka Chernan:”…”
The Emperor’s attention was attracted by the Southern Barbarians just now. At this moment, he recalled what he had seen in the Clairvoyant and raised it again in confusion.
Hey, hey, hey, what is this?
A minister who usually liked to disagree with others suddenly said, “I’ve also heard that there are all kinds of strange things in the world when it comes to planting watermelons in the border cities. It’s indeed a great merit to discover that new seeds can survive in the desert at the borders, but the fast food and Clairvoyant… Aren’t Third Prince’s words too exaggerated?”
Rong Yan looked up and remembered this person.
“Official He, you can judge the truth yourself.”
In this morning’s court assembly, the Emperor was used to the ministers’ exaggerated expressions. Then, he rewarded Official He, who had the most opinions, with the fast food used for experiments. He also asked Official He to abide by the principle of “every grain is hard work” and eat the two main dishes in the hall. Then, he placed the Clairvoyant in front of Official He’s eyes, who looked at everyone as if they were ants.
Official He was shocked and almost threw the Clairvoyant away. Fortunately, Eunuch De was quick to snatch it back.
The Emperor kept the Clairvoyant in his arms as if it was a treasure and asked pretentiously, “Then, who is this person you’re talking about?”
Rong Yan shouted, “It’s the legitimate daughter of the Xiao Family, Xiao Ning!”
The ministers actually did not want to believe that a girl who had grown up in a small village that they had never heard of would have such skills. It was fine if she cooked and farmed, but she actually made such a magical thing like Clairvoyant?
It did not matter if they believed it or not. The Emperor made the final decision.
“The legitimate daughter of the Xiao Family is smart and righteous… She is bestowed with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred beads of silk, and a set of Southern Sea pearls…”
Not counting the gold, silver, and treasures, under Xiao Ran’s angry gaze, the Emperor coughed lightly and added.
“Title: Princess An’ning Princess of the Third Rank. Her status is equivalent to the blood princess.”
Xiao Ran would be satisfied now, right?
To be honest, he also felt that he owed Xiao Ran a lot all these years, but other than thinking of a way to reward her with gold and silver and help her find that child whose fate was unknown, he didn’t know how else to make it up to her.
Now that the child was back and her injuries had healed, there was no need for him, the Emperor, to find excuses to reward her.
“In addition, the Country Protecting General has contributed to the retreat of the enemy. Reward money… She will be a prince and will be in charge of the Tiger Talisman!”
The Tiger Talisman was a symbol of military power. In the past, Xiao Ran was seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield. Even if she had countless military merits, she could only be an idle general at home. But now, not only had she recovered from her injuries, but she had also made military merits. It was naturally legitimate for her to be in charge of the Tiger Talisman, but wouldn’t the honor of being a prince of the opposite sex be too…
“Your Majesty, the title of Prince…”
The Emperor glared at him. “Why? Does my dear official have a problem with that?”
“In addition, the Third Prince has contributed to leading the troops and has bestowed a mansion… I’ll leave the rest of the matters of entertaining Xiongnu to the Third Prince.” The other princes had long set up their residences, and only he was remembered now. However, Rong Yan felt satisfied when he heard the location of his residence. He was not dissatisfied even if he had only to risk his life for some gold and silver.
Xiao Ran retreated from the court and asked to see him. “Your Majesty, I actually didn’t contribute much this time. The Third Prince is young and promising. If he hadn’t advanced and retreated at the right time, I wouldn’t have had time to meet up with him. He contributed even more by severely injuring Xiongnu and repelling the Southern Barbarians.”
The Emperor sighed. “Senior Sister, as you can see, there are not many civil and military officials in the court who make me feel at ease. Just treat it as helping me, okay?”
This move again!
The newly minted prince, Xiao Ran, was angry when she returned home. She only felt some comfort when she hugged her daughter.
“Baby, let me tell you. The men of the royal family are the most cunning. They will do anything to achieve their goals. They have the cheek to use any method to pretend to be obedient and pitiful! Don’t fall for it in the future!”
Although she didn’t know what had happened, Xiaoxiao still nodded in agreement. Then, she said, “Mother, Little Big Brother sent someone to say that his new residence is near our house just now, but that residence has been empty for many years and hasn’t been taken care of. It will take a long time to tidy it up. Let’s help him buy and buy, okay?”
Xiao Ran:… Sigh, a grown daughter can’t be kept.
However, it was good that Ah Yan lived close to her. When they got married in the future, it would only take a few steps for her to see her daughter.
However, Xiaoxiao added, “Also, I want to go back to the Ning Family. Mother Ning is about to give birth!”
Rong Yan had just happily received Xiaoxiao’s promise that she would accompany him to buy a new home when he was told that they were about to part ways again. He felt a little down. With such a mood, he went to the posthouse to see Chernan. When he left, his fists were a little numb.
Chernan wanted to protest and complain, but Rong Yan always used underhanded methods when he hit people. The injuries he caused were either invisible or inconvenient for others to see. It was simply too despicable!
He even threatened him and said that there was still a long way to go! What did he mean? Did he mean that he would find an opportunity to beat him up in the future? Was the Emperor unhappy with him, so he deliberately arranged for Rong Yan to “entertain” him?
Xiaoxiao did not feel like she wanted to part ways with Little Big Brother because she had space. She could run back to meet him at any time.
The Li Family’s shop and Mrs. Shen’s elegant abode had another branch. With the help of the new fruits and melons, her business was also thriving. Her points were rising very quickly!
However, Rong Yan, who had beaten someone up to vent his anger, still felt unhappy. Xiaoxiao could tell that he was depressed, so she coaxed him. “Think about it. Isn’t it quite exciting for the two of us to meet secretly without anyone knowing?”
Rong Yan was speechless.
No, it didn’t!
“What’s in your little head?”
Xiaoxiao propped her chin on her hand and blinked. “You?”
Rong Yan had yet to master the ability to hide his blush, so Xiaoxiao saw his shy expression again. Ah, she liked him even more.
Rong Yan couldn’t take it anymore and could only change the topic. “It’s my mistake this time. I didn’t expect Chernan to be so stubborn and even beat around the bush to mention the marriage.”
However, Xiaoxiao did not think so. “I think he’s doing this because he listened to your previous threats.”
She asked Rong Yan, “Little Big Brother, do you think he’s sincere in proposing on behalf of Chercha? Even if Chernan is a boor, he can command Xiongnu to cause so much trouble for Great Xia. How can he not know that proposing will definitely fail?”
Rong Yan admitted that he was a mortal. He could not help but lose some rationality when it concerned Xiaoxiao, but he had already thought of something after thinking about it.
“He should be deliberately causing trouble for Chercha.”
“Chernan knows that the more he proposes on Chercha’s behalf and the more unyielding his attitude is, the more disgusted we will be. If it doesn’t work, be it me or your mother, we will hate Chercha. Perhaps Chercha doesn’t know your identity at all. Perhaps this matter is deliberately concealed by Chernan. What he wants is for Chercha to offend the Xiao Family and Great Xia, making him unsuitable as the successor of Xiongnu.”
“I don’t care how the Xiongnu people fight for the throne, but he shouldn’t have dragged you into this..”
