Chapter 601: Distinguished Lady
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Emperor Minghua naturally wanted to reward Ah Yu, but he did not expect this child to be so blunt. He immediately did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“All Yu, do you know what the conditions for obtaining the t.i.tle of Distinguished Lady are?” Emperor Minghua wanted to test her.
This was one of All Yu’s wishes for many years, so she’d naturally asked around. Of course, she was not stumped. “I know. There are usually two ways. The first is to obtain t.i.tles through one’s husband. If he holds an official position of fourth rank or higher, he can directly request a n.o.ble t.i.tle for his wife. However, if he holds a position below fourth rank, he would need to achieve some accomplishments in his official career.”
Seeing Emperor Minghua nod, All Yu continued, “In addition to one’s husband, one’s own children can also request n.o.ble t.i.tles for their mothers, grandmothers, and others. The requirements for such requests are relatively stricter compared to those for husbands, but it can still be considered as the first method.”
Emperor Minghua: “Then you know the second method too?”
“I know that too. In the absence of an official t.i.tle, if a woman demonstrates exceptional behavior or if her children or husband have achieved great merits, she can also request n.o.ble t.i.tles,” Ah Yu said. “Your Majesty, I’ve helped coax your mother. While it may seem insignificant to others, your mother is the most respected woman in the world. She is the Empress Dowager, and such a status certainly deserves great merit, don’t you think?”
Emperor Minghua clapped and laughed. “You’re right. Not only did you coax my mother, but because of you, my wife is also recovering. Thinking in that direction, you’ve actually saved the two most respected women in the world. You’ve indeed made a great contribution.”
Hearing the term ‘wife’, Qin Huai, who was originally performing as a wooden man at the side, couldn’t help but look up at Emperor Minghua.
He admitted that Empress Qin was his wife? Then, would he be acknowledging him, this son, as well?
If that was the case, he had to plan again. Otherwise, if he was caught off guard and put in the position of Crown Prince-
Qin Huai did not dare to think further.
If he became the Crown Prince, All Yu would definitely be unhappy.
He was not that ambitious. Actually, Ah Yu’s ambition was even greater than his.
This was because Ah Yu wanted to obtain the t.i.tle of Distinguished Lady for all the women in the family. At the same time, she still wanted to establish women’s academies throughout the country. In order to achieve this goal, All Yu had already devised a comprehensive plan to establish various strongholds in the entire Great Chang region. This included an integrated business operation and an educational system, ensuring the smooth and sustained existence of the women’s academies.
Not to mention a woman, even an ordinary man would find it difficult to think of this. However, Ah Yu had already secretly started planning. Even now, she was able to stand in front of Emperor Minghua and openly state her plans. She was not afraid of Emperor Minghua at all.
Just as Qin Huai was letting his imagination run wild, Emperor Minghua had already agreed to Ah Yu’s request.
However, it was a discounted version.
“It’s definitely impossible to let all the women in your family have the t.i.tle of Distinguished Lady. Otherwise, we won’t be able to stop the gossip in the world.” Emperor Minghua chuckled. “But the Mother and Grandma you mentioned are indeed good at teaching their children. 1 can give them a seventh-grade t.i.tle.”
Ah Yu jumped up in joy. “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Ah Yu was very happy.
“Elf, look, I didn’t do anything this time and managed to fulfill a small wish. Then, if 1 helped the Emperor do a few more things. Will I be able to fulfill all my wishes then?”
[…It’s not that easy, right?]
It’s just that it’s easier for you, silly child.
She happened to encounter the right time, place, and people. It was not even possible if the parties in this incident were changed. Moreover, it was all thanks to this Emperor not being muddle-headed now, and the national treasury was not tight.
[Speaking of which, you’ve already completed the rescue mission.. Do you want to receive the reward directly, or do you want to go to the prize pool to draw the lottery?]
