1690 Two imperial edicts
....
“These are all tokens. This one sent people to find craftsmen to make it. It’s quite good, can you distinguish it?” The Emperor pointed at the box.
The third Prince held a jade pendant in his hand. It was exactly the same as the one Li Shan had.
“Back then, there wasn’t a single word on your jade pendant. It was carved on it because you were mischievous when you were young and fell down and hit a stone. When your token truly appears, you can see which one is the one you’ve brought up since you were young! Get lost, pack up and go pick up your mother and brother. If you make your mother unhappy, Zhen will let you end your life as a Prince early!” After the Emperor finished speaking, he turned around and left.
……
On the second day of the eleventh month, the Empress’s Honor Guard appeared at the South City gate. The Emperor personally arranged for his entourage to go to the South City gate to pick up his wife and child, making the people envious.
The commoners laughed and said,”who said that the Emperor loved his eldest son? the commoners loved his youngest son. Our Emperor also loves his youngest son.”
The relations.h.i.+p between His Majesty and the Empress was so good that they could have a Little Prince when they went out to avoid the heat.
Don’t talk nonsense. What Little Prince? it’s the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince.
When the Emperor heard the People’s idle chatter, he was also happy. When he reached the South City gate, he immediately got out of the carriage and ran to see his youngest son.
The Empress secretly glared at the Emperor. Pay attention to your manners!
The Emperor laughed without a care. He was happy with the people, happy with the people!
Among the princesses and princes, the third Prince looked at the lady beside the old lady who followed his mother. He felt that he had seen her before, as if he had seen her in a dream.
Jin Yingying was standing beside grandma Xiao. She had recognized the third Prince. She didn’t like the third Prince at all because he was the one who had destroyed her family. Therefore, she only supported grandma Xiao and didn’t look at the third Prince.
There were also some high-ranking officials and their family members who came with the group to pick up the Empress and the Crown Prince. Among them were the country guarding Duke couple, Lu Zheng’s biological father and stepmother.
Madame Lin was not implicated by the fall of Minister Lin and n.o.ble consort Lin. At this moment, when she saw grandma Xiao, she clenched her nails into her palms.
This old thing that won’t die, actually got involved with the Empress, how is she still not dead!
Grandma Xiao saw Madame Lin and smiled. The Emperor was also interesting. He had dealt with the entire Lin family, but this was the only one left. Was he leaving it for Yuanyuan and Xinxin?
Was it because Xinxin had said that this woman had to kowtow and serve tea to Xiao Jia when she paid respects to her ancestors?
Grandma Xiao’s heart was itching. To be honest, she also wanted to see it.
In the past, he hoped that Yuanyuan had nothing to do with the Lu family. But now, why? Xiao Jia had given birth to a son and a daughter for the Lu family. What belonged to the Lu family should belong to her Yuanyuan. Since Xiao Jia was ranked in the Lu family, why didn’t Yuanyuan pay her respects to Xiao Jia openly?
Grandma Xiao’s smile was very provocative, and Madame Lin trembled with anger. She didn’t understand what was wrong with this old lady. Could it be that she wanted to use the Empress’s power to suppress the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion?
The entire Duke Zhengguo’s mansion still didn’t know that Lu Zheng was alive. However, they would find out in a while.
After bringing the Empress and Crown Prince back to the palace, the Emperor drew up an imperial edict and had the officials of the Ministry of Rites go to Duke Zhengguo’s mansion to announce the edict.
The late Duke Zhenguo’s wife Zhou Yujia’s mother, Xiao s.h.i.+, because of her superb medical skills, she was awarded the t.i.tle of first rank wife.
Lu Zheng, the legitimate son of the Duke Zhenguo’s wife, Zhou Yujia, had pacified the southern region, rendered Meritorious Service to the Yun nation and the sand G.o.d, and was conferred the t.i.tle of the great general of the West. He took the risk to travel to the West Fengyu, was conferred the t.i.tle of first-grade great general, and inherited the position of the Duke Zhengguo.
When these two imperial edicts arrived, everyone in the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion was petrified.
