He glanced at the people behind Ming Zhiyan. They were all very imposing, especially the one standing next to Ming Zhiyan. He was shocked, the soldiers sent by the Emperor to work for their family were not as imposing. In the past, he would not have dared to speak to them. However, this year, he could be considered a knowledgeable old man, he was not that afraid of them.
Ming Zhiyan shook his head and said, “There’s no need to trouble yourself. We have something to say.”
He looked at Jian Qingqing who had already come out and introduced, “Miss
Jian, this is the leader of the imperial army, Left Guard. You can call him Left Guard General.”
Jian Qingqing was stunned and jumped in shock. She knew what kind of army the imperial army was. She did not expect that this imposing person in front of her was actually the leader of the imperial army. For such a person to appear here… She was somewhat unable to believe it.
Left Guard General quickly went forward and said, “Hello, Miss Jian. I am Shi Ancheng. You can call me General Shi. I am sent by the Emperor to deliver the imperial edict to you. I wonder if Miss Jian is ready?”
This person’s identity in the future was extraordinary. He still wanted to take the opportunity to build a good relationship with her.
Jian Qingqing was slightly surprised in her heart. She could even ask her if she was ready to deliver the imperial edict? She had thought that it would be like the scene on TV where a eunuch pushed open the door and shouted, “The imperial edict has arrived!”
He would only read the imperial edict after everyone had knelt down. It turned out that there was still time for her to prepare.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Jian Qingqing suppressed the messy thoughts in her heart and said respectfully, “I’m ready.”
The Left Guard General coughed lightly and said to eunuch Wang behind him, “Let’s begin.”
Eunuch Wang took a big step forward and stood at the front. he shouted,
“Everyone, listen to the imperial edict –”
Everyone knelt down and shouted, “Long live the Emperor!”
“In accordance with Heaven’s will, the Emperor has decreed that Jian Qingqing, the daughter of the Jian Family, has the heart of an orchid. She is beautiful and intelligent. She invented the method of producing fine salt, discovered the high yield of grain, and saved the people of Great Wei from fire and water. She has been specially conferred the title of Princess Ding’an, and given 10,000 acres of grain fields. This is the imperial edict!”
This imperial edict was too long. Eunuch Wang read it for a full five minutes. The words in it were somewhat difficult to understand. Jian Qingqing only heard that she was conferred the title of Princess Ding’an and the subsequent rewards. After listening to it, her heart was in turmoil, she did not know how to react. She could only dazedly follow the crowd and shout, “Thank you for your kindness, Lord! Long live the emperor! Long live the Emperor!”
Eunuch Wang smiled and handed the imperial edict to Jian Qingqing. “Miss
Jian, no, Princess Ding’an, accept the edict.”
Hearing Eunuch Wang address her, Jian Qingqing felt that it was real. She quickly took the imperial edict with both hands and said, “Thank you, Eunuch
Wang!”
Eunuch Wang laughed and said, “This is what I should do. There’s no need to be so courteous, Princess.”
Jian Qingqing felt as if she was in a dream. Her footsteps were unsteady. She had never thought that the emperor would give her the biggest reward, which was a princess that could be inherited. She originally thought that he would only give her a reward of some sort, like jewelry. At most, he would give her the title of county chief. She never thought that he would directly give her the title of princess. Even now, she still felt that it was unreal.
Old Man Jian and the others were even more shocked. They were so shocked that their eyes could not move, and their mouths had not closed for so long.
Ming Zhiyan was also very surprised. He did not think that the Emperor would actually give Jian Qingqing the title of a Princess. This title was also very thought-provoking. It could be said that the Queen’s legitimate princesses did not have this title. From now on, Jian Qingqing’s status could be said to be on equal footing with the legitimate princesses..
