Chapter 1765: Princess YongjiaEditor: Henyee Translations

Before Marquis Pingnan could smile, he froze. "County... County Lord, what do you mean?"

Yi Zilan glanced at him and suddenly raised her hand. "Give it to me."

Hence, another guard walked out from behind him and respectfully held a box. He walked to Yi Zilan and carefully opened the box.

Yi Zilan threw the fan into the guard’s arms and wiped his hands very carefully with a handkerchief. Then, he reached into the box with both hands and carefully and gently took out a bright yellow silk cloth.

The people at the side were still puzzled. The old duke was standing close and was a knowledgeable person. When he saw that thing, his eyes narrowed.

Yi Zilan slowly opened the silk cloth. Then, everyone saw the two bright words "Royal Edict" behind the silk cloth.

Everyone present suddenly gasped.

Yi Zilan raised his chin slightly and said arrogantly, "Gu Yundong, accept the decree."

Gu Yundong blinked. She was not surprised that Yi Zilan had come, but the sudden imperial edict had really shocked her.

Before she could react, the old duke was the first to kneel down.

The moment he moved, the people beside him hurriedly knelt down, as if they were afraid that they would be punished if they were late.

The scholars who were originally hesitating whether to continue copying books in the room let go of their brushes without a word. They knelt on the ground nervously and honorably with their heads lowered.

In the end, it was Gu Yundong who stood rooted to the ground, unable to react.

Shao Qingyuan pulled her gently before she knelt down.

Yi Zilan coughed lightly in satisfaction. "By the will of the heavens, the emperor has declared that the foundation of the world is the country, and the foundation of the country is the people. Ever since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard to choose officials from talents. My goal is to ensure the well-being of the people in the world, so that the lives of the people are convenient and rich... However, I’m not strong enough. Today, the Gu family has a daughter, Gu Yundong. She’s knowledgeable, intelligent, and benevolent... First, she offered the secret recipe of white sugar to the imperial court. Then, she selflessly offered a magnifying glass... Her actions are noble and generous. She is concerned about the country and the people and has contributed greatly to the Dajin Dynasty... I’ll confer her the title of Princess Yongjia."

The imperial edict was very long. Gu Yundong understood most of it, but she did not understand the rest.

In particular, there seemed to be other contributions mentioned. The problem was that some of the contributions did not seem to be hers.

Just as she was feeling puzzled, Yi Zilan had already walked forward and handed over the imperial decree. "Princess Yongjia, are you still not accepting the decree and thanking His Majesty?"

Gu Yundong suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly cheered with the others to thank them for accepting the decree.

Then, Shao Qingyuan helped her stand up.

Yi Zilan looked at them with a smile, especially when his gaze landed on Shao Qingyuan. His gloating expression was too obvious.

Before anyone could react, he immediately whispered into Shao Qingyuan’s ear, "Sigh, should I call you Prince in the future? Tsk tsk, how does it feel to bask in your wife’s glory? Let me tell you, I was the one who gave the idea of conferring the title to Gu Yundong to the emperor."

Shao Qingyuan didn’t care at all. For the first time, he even smiled very sincerely at Yi Zilan. "Thank you."

Yi Zilan was speechless. F*ck, he wasn’t a man, but he was still so happy to be suppressed by his wife. Did he have masochistic tendencies?

He snorted and did not look at Gu Yundong. He said to Gu Yundong, "Congratulations."

When the others heard this, their eyes lit up and they went forward to congratulate her. "Greetings, Princess Yongjia."
