Chapter 176 (1/2)
”Ask her to go to the Palace Banquet three days later.” emperor Xiao said, ”it's the life-saving benefactor of the Meng family. If she attends, it's reasonable.”
Li Quansheng was surprised: ”I understand.”
It seems that the holy master really values this Chu five girl. How glorious it is to be able to attend the Palace Banquet. I don't know how many noble daughters of the aristocratic family should envy.
In the end, the little Marquis still has face, otherwise the saint's attitude will not change so much in such a short time.
But Chu Zhang was surprised, frightened and delighted when the sixth Prince mentioned the abduction of the Meng girl in the court.
Fortunately, he didn't make a mistake when he came back, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chu Zhi is not a fool. She was fully confident that she could make up her mind at the beginning, but Chu Zhang is already angry now. These words are bound to be speechless, otherwise it will only add fuel to the fire.
Knowing that his father was worried about his comfort, Chu Zhimei bent his eyes: ”my daughter knows.”
Chu Zhang was guilty and unfamiliar with his daughter. After all, he lacked twelve years of getting along with her. No matter how close he was, he was still testing each other. He was afraid that if he said too much, he would make his daughter more worried.
It's just that she is a little girl after all. If she doesn't take the opportunity to beat it and ask her to have a good memory, she doesn't know how bold she will be in the future.
”You --”
”Master! Master! The imperial edict has arrived!” Chu Zhang was interrupted by the housekeeper who hurried to him, ”the noble people in the palace have come to proclaim the imperial edict!”
Chu Zhang's heart suddenly trembled, and he didn't care about anything. He quickly invited the father-in-law of the decree to the main hall and waited on him. At the same time, he asked the people in the house to tidy up their manners and ordered them to arrange the table. After burning incense, he knelt down with the people in the house.
The father-in-law cleared his throat and said in a shrill voice, ”the emperor of heaven said: Chu Zhi, the fifth daughter of Zheng Chu Zhang in Dali, is gentle and mature, has both political integrity and talent, has great courage and insight, can be called a woman's example, and won my heart. He was specially awarded as the leader of Zheng Sipin County, with the name of Fu'an. He can buy ten military guards, 1000 liang of gold and 30 pieces of silk. The fertile land is just an acre. She eats the salary of the county leader and is here!”
”Fu'an County Lord, take the order!”
As early as the moment when the edict was read out, everyone was stunned. They only knew that the edict came. They thought that Chu Zhang had moved up again, and his mind had risen again soon. This was unprecedented. They couldn't understand it. Unexpectedly, Chu Zhi was granted the county head and the title.
Chu Zhang and Chu Yan were the only ones who knew that Chu Zhi was sealed. Others didn't know the inside story. They just felt that the imperial edict came inexplicably and hit everyone dizzy.
Chu Zhi was also surprised.
She never thought that the Holy Lord would seal a county Lord for her.
Leng Shen was just a moment. She collected her look and thanked respectfully: ”my daughter Chu Zhi thanked longen, long live my emperor!”
Being led by Chu Zhi, everyone woke up and kowtowed one after another.
After everyone got up, the little father-in-law smiled and said, ”thanks to the Lord of Fu'an County who saved the Meng girl, the saint specially told you to attend the Palace Banquet three days later!”
Chu Zhi smiled gently and calmly: ”thank you, father-in-law.”
After that, he quickly sent the prepared gift.
These things she prepared were given by Han Zhan earlier, and Han Zhan's came from the palace. Naturally, they are good things. The public was surprised. Secretly, the Lord of Fu'an county had great eyesight and didn't say anything. He was very polite, so he couldn't help feeling good.
