Chapter two hundred and sixty second title
"Miss, the last time the noble man has sent something again. This time, it's some top-notch ginseng and supplements. It just so happens that the lady can go to the ground to do activities, and it just can be a big supplement." Aunt Liu walked in with a pile of boxes wrapped in red paper.
Zhuang Rou was lying on the bed for a full month and was able to walk a few steps with a crutch. This was because of iron armor and internal strength that he could recover so quickly, otherwise he would have to lie down for another ten days and half a month.
Aunt Liu was a little reluctant to speak, but finally couldn't help saying, "Miss, that noble man is a prince. Do you have any intentions for you? I sent a lot of things to my home this month. Last time I didn't send someone to ask you when I could go back. The family of such a wealthy man is in chaos."
Zhuang Rou had long felt that she could leave without a crutch, but Aunt Liu and her brother disagreed, for fear that she would fall again. Before going out to do business, Zhuang Xuewen also instructed Aunt Liu not to let her run around.
When he went out to do business, he left for more than ten days. Zhuang Rou suspected that he was going to deal with the matter of Batianmen.
Sun Zhiling followed them to the capital and got the medicine they wanted the next day. He didn't have time to say hello to Zhuang Rou, but just asked Zhuang Xuewen to bring a message and rushed back.
"Aunt Liu, that's a handsome man. The girls in the capital like him a lot." Zhuang Rou walked slowly in the yard, wanting to recover her freedom as soon as possible. This way she looked so uncomfortable.
Aunt Liu said as if she had experienced it, "Miss, this handsome and powerful man is even more amazing. Her belly is full of colorful intestines, which can be lie. Miss, please don't think about their words, the more handsome the more bad you are."
Zhuang Rou glanced at her, wouldn’t that brother be a handsome bad man?
I finally got home but was so controlled by Aunt Liu. This was not so easy for me to eat, sleep and sleep.
My brother is not at home, so he becomes even more bored.
She missed her days in Hongzhou a little. She was so comfortable that she couldn't even beat her pig's head when she stayed at home.
It has been a month since the imperial edict was sent, and I promised to be rewarded, but I have been waiting for so long. Not to mention promotion or something, I don’t even have two taels of silver. It seems that the emperor is poor and can’t get this reward.
"The emperor is so stingy. If you don't give me a reward, I'm afraid you'll forget it." Zhuang Rou muttered, and thought that Chu Xiadu sent Yang Qing to urge him twice, he felt annoyed.
I have never seen such a bad-hearted boss, and his bones are broken like this, but I only know that I am in a hurry to ask myself to go back to work. Is this still a human being?
In the palace, Emperor Zhou Kun was chatting with the queen, but it was about Zhuang Rou.
"Emperor, Zhuang Rou's family background is a small one, and she is just a small person to be arrested. It is inappropriate to suddenly be named as the county lord." The queen advised earnestly.
If the Empress Dowager hadn't found her, she wouldn't have known that the emperor planned to confer the title of Prince Na and Yinde, and the woman with bad rumors was the county lord.
Originally, he was just a civilian and didn't even have the qualifications to be a concubine for Chu Xia, but if he was granted the title of county lord, he would be a noble girl.
If Chu Xia had a whim, it would not be impossible to marry her as his wife.
The Empress Dowager will never let this happen. As long as the woman named Zhuang Rou cannot become a noble girl, it is impossible for Chu Xia to take her into the mansion as a concubine.
This county lord is absolutely not allowed. The queen looked at the emperor's face carefully. She didn't want to get along with the emperor for this matter.
Seeing that the emperor was not angry, she continued, "Emperor, Zhuang Rou showed up all day long. If she was named a noble girl, she might have a bad start for other noble girls and felt that she could also show off everywhere."
"Also, the unclear words between her and the little prince are not clear, and this is very unpleasant. Besides, even if the two really have something to do, Prince Yinde really touched the relationship, the empress dowager would not agree."
Zhou Kun didn't think this matter was complicated at first. Zhuang Rou was Zhuang Xuewen's sister and even sent back the imperial edict of rebellion by the uncle who was missing as an imperial decree. This was a wonderful achievement.
Although this merit cannot be made public, several ministers also knew about this matter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they should be rewarded according to merit.
Zhuang Rou is a woman and cannot be an official in the court. She originally wanted to reward some gold, silver and jewelry, but Zhuang Xuewen had a cold face and said that these things were not needed at home, so she should not send people with garbage.
Seeing that he looked like that, he was dissatisfied with using money to send Zhuang Rou. This was not because he thought about it, but because he thought that a woman was just getting a title.
If she had become a relative, she could still be a wife of a few ranks, but she had not gotten married yet. Wouldn't she have to give it to the county lord?
Unexpectedly, the empress dowager found out about this, but she was worried that Zhuang Rou would become a noble daughter and would marry Chu Xia.
Zhou Kun felt that the empress dowager was useless, and Chu Xia wanted to keep the princess of another country, and several countries came to him to nominate the princess for marrying him.
Even if Zhuang Rou and Chu Xia are interested, it is impossible to be concubines, let alone those who are just circulating. How could such a smart person like Chu Xia do such a self-inflicted thing?
Let's talk about it...
He believed that Zhuang Xuewen would not let Zhuang Rou be his concubine, so he didn't like this. The Empress Dowager really thought too much and wanted to get involved in everything.
Although Zhou Kun agreed that Chu Xia was destined to choose one of those marriage princesses, he also hated the harem's involvement in this matter.
But now that the relatives of the foreigners have not been removed, many ministers are still the queen mother, so he can only pretend to be ashamed.
One day, I will eradicate these stubborn stones one by one...
Zhou Kun knew that he could not reveal his strength yet, so he had to make the empress dowager still think that he was the filial and weak incompetent emperor.
He said, "She is a woman. If she is not appointed as the county lord, what kind of reward would the queen think would be suitable?"
The queen had already had the instructions from the queen mother in her heart. She smiled and said, "I heard that she was already ten years old and was already at the age of marriage. If this continues, it would be impossible for someone to choose. Why don't you give her a good marriage?"
Zhou Kun felt that he was so angry that he could give him any reward, but if he forced a marriage to Zhuang Rou, there would be a big mess.
If you cannot be an official and refuse to ask for money and property, you cannot be given a marriage and you cannot give a title. So what should you give me some reward!
If he gave nothing, Zhou Kun felt that he would lose his heart with Chu Xia. Chu Xia had sent a letter to him three times to ask for the title of Zhuang Rou.
Everyone is a man, so how can he hide his little thoughts? Isn’t it just that if Zhuang Rou has a title, he can be pissed off.
Title...
Suddenly, Zhou Kun thought of a reward that would not offend any party and satisfy everyone.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Queen, I know how to reward her."
"Is it really necessary to give me a good marriage?" The queen smiled with relief. It seemed that she could explain to the Queen Mother.
Zhou Kun laughed inwardly, "The queen will know when she arrives."
The queen was a little surprised. Do you still have to hide this from it?
But then I thought about it, there was the empress dowager here, so there was no need to offend the emperor, after all, the empress dowager would still have one day to go back.
Zhuang Rou didn't know how long it had been fighting for her to reward her. For her, it was just an imperial edict, and it would be nice to reward some gold, silver and jewelry.
If there were bigger Dongzhu and good jade, I would make some jewelry for my brother. Now he would enter the palace all day long and he would have to dress up.
Let the concubines in the palace and the noble girls outside see how good their brother was, and the heroes in their eyes were just ugly men who were not eye-catching.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Xiao Yuanzi's father-in-law came with the will in person.
Zhuang Rou was injured and put three cushions on her body to answer the order. Xiao Yuanzi recited it for a long time, and she looked confused until she was helped by Aunt Liu after receiving the order.
She asked inexplicably with the imperial edict: "Eunuch Yuan, what is this?"
"Congratulations to Miss Zhuang, of course this is the emperor's reward. But this time, the matter cannot be made explicit, so I have a grace. In the future, our family cannot call Miss Zhuang, so we have to change the title."
Not only Zhuang Rou, but also Aunt Liu and the servants in the family were confused, and there were also people who gave women such grace?
"Yuan Yuan, is this imperial edict really given to me, not the wrong one?" Zhuang Rou asked again without believing that he was going wrong.
Eunuch Yuan waved his whisk and said seriously: "The word Zhuang Rou is clearly written in the imperial edict. This cannot be wrong. Anyway, it's a congratulations."
Zhuang Rou pursed her lips and said speechlessly: "Eunuch Yuan, I am a woman! What's wrong with the emperor signing me a princess? Could it be that I want to marry a princess to me?"
"The prince-consort, the full name is the prince-consored Duwei. Although it is usually given to the princess' husband, it is not only possible to marry a princess. Although the prince-consort of Zhuang is a woman, his job should be arrested. This is also a public office. It is normal to be promoted to the fourth-rank lieutenant!" said Yuan Gonggong with a shameless face.
What the hell is the princess? Is it a funny official position to play with me?
Zhuang Rou asked a little unhappy: "Then I will be in the court in the future, what do I mainly do?"
Eunuch Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, my son-in-law, although he is the Ma Wei of the Imperial Front, he is now a title. He does not have to go to court, but he is too lazy, but he can enjoy the salary that he cannot get in ordinary official positions."
"Although it cannot be hereditary, there is a position when entering the palace. If you hit the nobles, you will not be punished casually. For the prince consort of Zhuang, this is extremely suitable."
Why does it sound so ugly?
Zhuang Rou flattened her mouth and bowed, "Thank you, Eunuch Yuan, for answering the doubts, but can you stop calling me the Prince Consort Zhuang? I think the Prince Consort is good."
Eunuch Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, my son-in-law, then our family will go back to the palace to report their lives first."
"Dear father-in-law, walk slowly." Zhuang Rou grabbed two gold ingots rewarded by the emperor and stuffed them into the sleeve of the emperor, which was completely unwilling to be rejected by him.
This reward was really ugly. Eunuch Yuan knew that Zhuang Xuewen had a good relationship with the emperor, so he beat him up and took it away.
Zhuang Rou saw that all the people in the palace had left and threw the imperial edict to Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, put this away, I really don't understand what the people in the palace were thinking, it's inexplicable."
"That's right, let the lady be the princess, at least he has to send a princess." Aunt Liu muttered and brought the imperial edict in.
Two days later, Chu Xia, who was doing nothing in Hongzhou, squirted out a bit of cooling soup, "What's the matter! The emperor appointed her as the prince-consort?"
"Yes, I originally wanted to confer her the title of county lord, but the empress dowager stopped her." Xiao Ran said.
Chu Xia looked at him for a few breaths, took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, leaned on the rocking chair and started to shake, "If this happens, she will probably be summoned to the palace soon, so that people can keep a close eye on it."
"Sir, are you afraid that someone in the palace will do not benefit her?" Mo Cong asked curiously.
Chu Xia glanced at him deeply, "It's not good for her? I'm afraid she will beat the nobles in the palace to death!"
