Chapter 1259 - 1259: The Princess of Guguo
Just as Jiang Yunfeng was looking at Lin Yuelan with a disdainful gaze, thinking that he could insult Lin Yuelan, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside.
It was obvious that this sharp voice came from the eunuch in the palace!
When Wen Yujing and Jiang Wen heard the imperial edict, they were shocked and panicked. They thought to themselves, ‘Could it be that His Majesty still wants to interfere when that b * stard Jiang Zhennan returns to the residence? But it didn’t make sense. This was a family matter, and the Duke’s estate didn’t stop Jiang Zhennan from returning. Then why would His Majesty do such a thing? Or did he know that they wanted to humiliate Jiang Zhennan just now, so he stood up for this bastard?’
Several guesses flashed through their minds, but no matter which guess it was, they were all filled with unhappiness.
Because this meant that Jiang Zhennan was favored and trusted.
However, Wen Yujing had an even worse guess in her heart. She exclaimed,” That’s impossible!”
Jiang Yunfeng frowned when he heard the sharp voice. He glanced suspiciously at Jiang Zhennan, who was expressionless, and Lin Yuelan, who still had a cold smile on her face. He became more and more puzzled.
What kind of imperial edict was this?
Could it be the emperor wanted him to give up his title now that Jiang
Zhennan had returned to the estate?
He suddenly remembered that Jiang Zhennan was favored by the Emperor, so it was not impossible to use the imperial edict to force him to give up the position of Duke.
At the thought of this possibility, Jiang Yunfeng’s heart was filled with resentment and anger. At the same time, he was jealous. Of course, he was jealous of Jiang Zhennan’s good luck and the fact that he could obtain the Emperor’s favor.
As for Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan, they seemed to have expected the imperial edict to arrive. Their faces were calm and indifferent.
Eunuch Zhang walked into Duke Zhenguo’s estate and saw Jiang Zhennan and
Lin Yuelan. He immediately went forward and greeted them respectfully,” Great General, Miss Lin!”
Lin Yuelan smiled and said with familiarity,” Eunuch Zhang, it’s been a while since we last met. I see that you’ve lost weight. Why don’t I give you a perfect tonic pill to nourish your body?”
Eunuch Zhang also laughed and teased,” Miss Lin, is this a way for you to find someone to try out new medicine?
The so-called perfect tonic pill must be a new medicine that Miss Lin had concocted and needed someone to try it out, so she mentioned this.
This happened often in Taoyuan Village.
In Taoyuan Village, anyone could become her test subject, including His Majesty!
When he thought of those bitter and astringent pills that were slightly sour and sweet, Eunuch Zhang felt a lingering fear in his heart.
However, he knew very well that all the medicines that Lin Yuelan had people try were good medicines that could really nourish the body.
Therefore, Eunuch Zhang did not decline and thanked her with a smile.” Then this old servant will thank Miss Lin first!”
Lin Yuelan made a hand gesture and said with a smile, “Eunuch Zhang, don’t thank me yet. I’ll have to trouble you to bring a small bottle of this perfect tonic pill to His Majesty!’
Eunuch Zhang was speechless. He knew it wasn’t that simple!
Jiang Zhennan was speechless. He wore an expression of ‘I knew it’.
Jiang Yunfeng, Wen Yujing, and Jiang Wen were speechless.
What was going on?
When did this woman become so familiar with Eunuch Zhang?
However, when they saw this situation, they were all very shocked!
Eunuch Zhang’s expression froze for a moment before he smiled again.” Then this old servant will thank Miss Lin on behalf of His Majesty!’
He could imagine the expression on His Majesty’s face when he received the perfect tonic pill.
Eunuch Zhang’s expression immediately turned serious as he said loudly,
“Zhengguo Duke Jiang Yunfeng, Great General Jiang Zhennan, Lin Yuelan, accept the decree!”
After Eunuch Zhang shouted, Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing were stunned at first. Then, Jiang Yunfeng asked the servants to call Jiang Zhenye, who had just been sent back to the room, out to receive the edict.
When Jiang Zhenye came over, Jiang Yunfeng immediately knelt down and shouted, “I accept the imperial edict!”
Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan both knelt down.
Lin Yuelan looked at the imperial edict in Eunuch Zhang’s hand and immediately pursed her lips.
Although she was very unwilling to kneel down, she had fallen in love with a general. She could only follow the rules. She knelt down with him.
Of course, with the old Emperor’s age, she did not treat him as an Emperor. She treated him as a grandfather-like elder. Therefore, a junior kneeling down to an elder was also considered to be respecting the elderly.
Eunuch Zhang opened the imperial edict and read,
“In accordance with the heavens, the emperor decreed:
“General Jiang Zhennan is already twenty-five years old. He has been busy with state affairs and has not found a good match. Now, I have an adopted daughter, Lin Yuelan, who is now conferred the title of Princess of Guguo. She is skilled, generous, gentle, honest, and outstanding. The two of them are a match made in heaven. The Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor will jointly organize their wedding!
“Long live our emperor!”
When Eunuch Zhang announced that Lin Yuelan was the Emperor’s adopted daughter and was conferred the title of Princess Gu, Jiang Yunfeng’s family of four was truly shocked!
Wasn’t this woman the younger sister of Liu Yichen’s richest, the eldest daughter of Willow Villa?
When did she become the Emperor’s adopted daughter and even have the title of princess?
With the title of princess, her status was even more noble.
What did this woman do to deserve the title of Princess Guguo?
Just as Jiang Yunfeng and the others were feeling puzzled, Lin Yuelan rolled her eyes and pouted. She stood up and said unhappily,” Eunuch Zhang, I agreed with the old Emperor that I only wanted the marriage decree. Why did I suddenly become his adopted daughter and even be conferred the title of ‘Guguo Princess ?
Eunuch Zhang was completely used to the way Lin Yuelan addressed His
Majesty. However, when he saw Lin Yuelan’s obviously unhappy expression, he immediately said to her respectfully,” Miss Lin, let’s move to the side and talk!”
Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and then nodded.
The two of them walked to the side where no one could hear them.
Eunuch Zhang said softly,” Miss Lin, His Majesty knows that you don’t like the status of a princess. But he also knew that you came to the Duke’s estate to fight for justice for the Great General. Therefore, with the identity of the princess, you can use your status and power to suppress others and do things more conveniently!”
Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows again and said,” It seems that the old emperor is really thoughtful.” Then she smiled and said) “Alright) since it’s the old emperor’s good intentions, I’ll accept it.”
“And miss, His Majesty knows that you don’t like to follow the rules and etiquette of the palace. After you become the princess, His Majesty will give an order that you can be exempted from all etiquette in the future!” Eunuch Zhang added with a smile.
Of course, only Lin Yuelan could enjoy such treatment!
His Majesty liked people like Lin Yuelan, who were unrestrained and magnanimous.
Lin Yuelan’s eyes immediately lit up when she heard that. She said happily,”
The old emperor is so understanding. I have to thank him in person!”
Since she didn’t need to follow the palace rules and etiquette with the identity of Princess Guguo’ and didn’t need to kneel when she saw the old emperor’s concubines, princes, and princesses in the future, so what did she have to lose?
Jiang Yunfeng and Wen Yujing looked at Eunuch Zhangs humble and respectful attitude toward Lin Yuelan, and their expressions immediately turned ugly.
What kind of identity did Lin Yuelan have? No, the question was, what did Lin Yuelan do to make His Majesty value her so much that he even conferred her with the supreme honorary title of ‘Princess Guguo ?
This woman was already lawless. With this identity, she would be even more lawless!
Jiang Yunfeng was worried.
However, no matter what Jiang Yunfeng thought or how worried he was, the truth was right in front of him. He could not change the Emperor’s decision. Therefore, he could only face it.
However, he could not help but ask,” Eunuch Zhang, about this Princess Guguo…” He intentionally looked at Lin Yuelan suspiciously.
Eunuch Zhang was not as respectful and polite to Jiang Yunfeng as he was to Lin Yuelan. He glanced at the other people in the Duke’s estate and asked loudly, “Duke, Princess Gu is the adopted daughter of His Majesty. She is worthy of being the Great General’s wife. The imperial edict made it very clear just now!” He almost said, are you deaf?
When Jiang Yunfeng and the others heard this, the hope in their hearts immediately disappeared without a trace.
This was great. Not only did the Duke’s estate welcome the Defender General, but they also had to welcome the princess of Guguo. They had to kneel down when they saw the princess. This princess was actually the fiancée of Jiang Zhennan, this b * stard.
The family of four from Zhengguo Duke’s Estate was shocked and terrified, but they could not help but feel jealous..
