To some extent, Xiaocao actually has a very common mindset. She still feels a little dreamy that she suddenly becomes a princess.
After a dreamy night, he calmed down the next morning, packed a gift, and went to Jian's house leisurely.
Zhen Muyao was really well taken care of, and the child was also very healthy. Jianshu was finally no longer worried because of Zhen Muyao's "delivery". He was full of joy from head to toe, and was full of energy. He still blushed when Xiaocao teased him, and it did not affect his good mood. It can be seen that he really loves his little girl, and he still does whatever Zhen Muyao says and is absolutely obedient.
Of course, Zhen Muyao was taught very well by Mrs. Zhen, and she would not boss Jian Shu around. She was always protective of Jian Shu, and this never changed, whether before or after marriage. Therefore, the relationship between the two has always been very good.
Many people secretly said that Jian Shu was not like a man and Zhen Muyao was not like a woman. Naturally, there were all kinds of sour words. However, as time went by, more and more women were jealous of Zhen Muyao. How could she be so lucky? Why couldn't they meet a man like Jian Shu? Of course, this man still sneered at Jian Shu.
Mrs. Zhen rushed over yesterday after receiving the news that Zhen Muyao had an attack, and did not leave until Zhen Muyao gave birth successfully. As a mother, she naturally brought a lot of things over again. In two days, she will have the third day of birth, and then the full moon, which is definitely indispensable.
Although Zhen Muyao was in good condition, Xiaocao didn't plan to stay for long. Zhen Muyao still needed to have a good rest. She still had to go to the palace. Some things had not been fully implemented, and she felt uneasy.
When Xiaocao was about to leave, Zhen Muyao's mother-in-law came over and looked at Xiaocao with a smile, "Congratulations, Miss Wenren."
Xiao Cao knew that this lady must have known about the "princess". "It's the emperor's love for her."
Zhen Muyao was puzzled, "Is there something I don't know?"
Afterwards, Mrs. Jian explained to Zhen Muyao with a smile.
After hearing this, Zhen Muyao was not surprised. She was genuinely happy for Xiaocao and thought to herself that the emperor had done a great job. She deserved the title of princess for her contribution.
Xiaocao went directly to the palace after leaving the Jian family. Now that she had the token, she could enter and leave the palace at any time, just like Young Master Fan. In addition, Emperor Xuanren was now recuperating and had a lot of free time, so it was easy for her to see him.
Emperor Xuanren did not stay in his bedroom. Instead, he sat in the small garden, leisurely listening to the beautiful woman playing the piano. He seemed to be enjoying himself quite a lot.
Xiaocao stood far away, not sure whether to go up and disturb.
Instead, Emperor Xuanren turned his head and waved to her.
Well, I just hope that the concubine who played the piano would not hold a grudge against her for disturbing her and the emperor's "world of two".
"Greetings to His Majesty."
"No need to be polite. Please take a seat."
The palace servants not only brought stools, but also a low table, on which they placed fruits, snacks and refreshments.
Xiaocao felt quite comfortable in front of Emperor Xuanren and sat there peacefully.
"You know everything?" Emperor Xuanren asked. Although he did not point it out, everyone knew what he was talking about.
"Yes, my father told me last night when he came home."
"So why do you come to see me now?"
"Your Majesty is so kind to me, how dare I have any objection?" For Xiaocao, having the identity of a princess is actually beneficial. Of course, it's not just the honor that comes with the identity, but it will be easier for her to do what she wants to do. However, "I want to ask if Prince Wei will be affected by this." The prince consort has no real power, but her situation is different, so perhaps it is not included.
Emperor Xuanren paused while twisting the jade bead, "You girl, you are actually considering him first right now."
"Prince Wei has great talent and is a pillar of the country. He should not be influenced by a minister."
Emperor Xuanren smiled and said, "Why do you think he joined the Supervisory Office?"
Xiaocao blinked, puzzled. In Xiaocao's opinion, Tingyu was in such poor health before, but he was still working for Emperor Xuanren. He must have great ambitions in his heart. It was only because of his health that he stayed behind the scenes. When he recovered, he could stand in front of the stage and show his true value. Could it be that this was not the case
Emperor Xuanren smiled but said nothing, and did not try to explain Xiaocao's confusion. In his opinion, both this girl and Wei Tingyu were quite interesting. It was for her that Wei Tingyu resolutely became a knife in his hand despite his poor health. As for this girl, when it came to honor, she still considered Wei Tingyu's future first. From this point of view, they both made the right choice and had good vision.
"From what you said, girl, Wei Tingyu's health has improved?"
Xiao Cao nodded, "My previous trip was not in vain. I found a good medicine."
"That's right. But if I say that making you a princess will ruin his future, are you still going to refuse?"
Xiao Cao was silent for a moment, "What a minister can do, even a non-princess can do it."
Wei Tingyu cannot interfere in national affairs unless he is in the corresponding position.
"You dare to disobey the order, girl?" Emperor Xuanren said quietly, his aura changing.
The palace maids serving on the side all lowered their heads unconsciously, and the concubine who was playing the piano made her hands play the wrong notes unconsciously.
Xiaocao lowered his eyebrows and eyes slightly, but straightened his back.
Emperor Xuanren laughed suddenly, "Okay, you think a lot, girl. Don't worry, your situation is different from that of a royal princess. After all, if we really talk about the impact, before you get married, the one who is most affected is still the Wen family. Do you think I will kill all the people in your Wen family first?" To be honest, let alone Xiaocao, even if it was a royal princess, the prince consort, Emperor Xuanren could change the old rules. It's a very simple thing, but there's no need.
Xiao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Girl, you don't need to be so careful in front of me. Learn from that brat Wuguo." Emperor Xuanren knew a little about Xiaocao's temperament. She would not do anything out of line. Besides, who was Emperor Xuanren? He was the emperor. He could be very strict when he was strict, and very tolerant when he was tolerant. He doted on Fan Wuguo and Wen Renxuan as well.
"How can a servant compare to the young master? Besides, I can't learn the young master's temperament."
"That's right. You really don't need to learn from that kid. However," Emperor Xuanren paused, "I want to adopt you as my adopted daughter and include you in the imperial family. In this way, you will be no worse than Wuguo."
When it comes to relationships, it's nothing more than closeness. People who are close are always more unrestrained.
"Your Majesty..." Xiaocao was confused again.
Especially what Emperor Xuanren said, it was like a child's play.
Emperor Xuanren looked at Xiaocao's expression and smiled unconsciously. This little girl should be more lively. However, Emperor Xuanren forgot that although he had not selected concubines for several years, the last batch of concubines were only a few years older than Xiaocao. At that time, there were new concubines who were lively and playful, but he disliked them and ignored them directly. After that, even those who were extroverted became more restrained. Compared with now, they are really too hypocritical.
Of course, no matter how young this concubine is, she is still his woman. As for him, Xiaocao is a real junior, but now he wants to adopt her as his daughter. They have completely different identities, so it is very normal for him to have double standards.
Xiao Cao slowed down and was about to speak when Emperor Xuanren glanced over and said, "This is an imperial decree."
Xiaocao swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. This guy is a big shot among big shots. When he says something, you can't refute it unless you are allowed to refute it. So, it's no wonder that so many people want to grab this position.
Xiao Cao stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
"Is it time to change your tune?"
Xiao Cao paused. No matter what he had learned from various sources, Emperor Xuanren was wise and powerful. But why did he feel that it was a little off-base now? "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with etiquette."
Emperor Xuanren glanced at her and said, "Okay, wait until the recognition ceremony. It won't be too late for me to change my mind after drinking tea. - Hong Yi, go to the Ministry of Rites and ask them to prepare for this matter and put the official canonization together."
Eunuch Hong stepped forward and agreed. He was secretly shocked. This Miss Wenren has really risen to fame. When he first met her at the Dingbei County Prince's Mansion, he unconsciously had a good impression of her. When he answered the emperor, he was slightly biased. Now it seems that he really made the right choice. Not to mention currying favor with her, it is always okay to be respectful to such a person.
Emperor Xuanren's swift and decisive actions confused many people.
The most confused person is probably Wenren Taibo. Yesterday, his daughter became a princess, and today she has another identity added to it, becoming the emperor's adopted daughter. Does this mean he is a relative of the emperor
The biggest difference between a simple princess of a different surname and the princess adopted by the emperor is whether they are members of the royal family or not. After all, a princess of a different surname is inferior to a princess of the royal family. However, a princess of a different surname who is recorded in the royal name list is on an equal footing with a princess of the royal family. If she is favored by the emperor, she will be even superior to the emperor. Fan Wuguo is the best proof of this. He is only a duke, but because he is favored, even the princes have to give him some respect.
The people in the Ministry of Rites were already jealous of Wenren Taibo, and now they were even more jealous. But there was nothing they could do. The girl had the ability and skill to save the emperor who was on the verge of death. There was no point in them being jealous.
The news spread at an even faster speed, and I was filled with joy, envy, jealousy and hatred.
Originally, because Xiaocao saved Emperor Xuanren, the Wenren family had been visited by many people before she even left the palace. It finally quieted down a bit, but today someone came to visit again, and then there was the news that Emperor Xuanren wanted to adopt Xiaocao as his adopted daughter. The Wenren family was really bustling.
There was no such situation when Xiaocao returned home yesterday, so she didn't expect this to happen today. So, when she approached Wen's house, she was directly bet on the situation. Then she quietly entered through the back door, and then returned to her own yard, asking the people below to keep quiet and not let anyone know that she was back.
Let's leave all the things that need to be worried about to my mother. Although Xiaocao feels a little guilty, when he thinks that his mother is good at dealing with this kind of thing, and thinks about the horror of being surrounded, he decisively chooses to "hide".
Although it was troublesome to deal with, Han was happy and in high spirits, so there was no problem at all.
The recognition ceremony is not troublesome, but because it involves the emperor, it is naturally solemn. The date needs to be selected by the Imperial Observatory. As for the canonization, it is actually simpler. There is no canonization ceremony. Basically, after the recognition, an imperial edict and the imperial seal and seal that symbolize the princess' identity are issued, and that's it.
The next good day is just a few days away.
However, Emperor Xuanren gave Xiaocao a face and allowed officials of the third rank and above to attend the recognition ceremony with their families, and then held a banquet directly in the palace.
All these things showed that Emperor Xuanren attached great importance to Xiaocao. However, no one dared to say anything about it. Moreover, even the Queen Mother was happy to see this happen.
The stitches on Emperor Xuanren's body had not been removed yet, but it no longer prevented him from handling state affairs. At a recent court meeting, the title of Xiaocao was mentioned.
Logically speaking, this matter should not be brought up in the court, but since it was asked and the cabinet's memorial had already been submitted, Eunuch Hong was very tactful and went to get it immediately.
Emperor Xuanren opened the letter and saw a list of twenty or so titles. "They all have good meanings, but I don't think they are appropriate," he closed the letter, "I will decide on the title, so I'll use 'An Guo'."
The court suddenly exploded...
Xiadu Yushi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this title seems a bit too much."
"Too much? Do you think that the fact that the maid from the Wen family rescued me is not enough to ensure the safety of the country?" Emperor Xuanren said meaningfully.
The court fell silent, and some people were worried, wondering if the emperor was hinting at something, and whether he might take action against them at any time.
Prince Heng unconsciously clenched his hands in his sleeves, not daring to show any expression on his face.
"Your Majesty, Miss Wenren's contribution naturally deserves this title. But after all, she is a woman. Isn't this title a little too big and a little heavy for her?" Censor Xia changed his words.
"I heard that this girl has been learning medicine since she was young, saving countless lives, and has also written books that have benefited tens of millions of people. This time, she traveled through the north and made outstanding contributions to the trauma department. The generals of the Dingbei Army jointly recommended her for merit. Although she is a woman, how many men can compare with what she has done? In my opinion, the word An Guo is worthy of the name."
