Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Conferment of Prefecture Princess Ruyu (Request for Monthly Ticket)
Hurriedly getting up: “Eunuch Xiao, please come this way!”
Ahead, on the open-air stage, a temporary altar had been set up, and incense and candles had already been placed on it.
The people who had gone out were hurriedly summoned back. The entire Di family, including servants, maids, and old women, were all gathered here, kneeling densely on the ground. It’s annoying that people in this era kneel down so easily!
Eunuch Xiao stepped in, picked up the incense and candles to offer sacrifices and kowtows, and then sang loudly. After a series of events, he took out the imperial decree, raised it above his head and turned around.
“Liu Sisi, the daughter of Lin Xiner, accept the Decree! ——”
“Long live, long live, long live!”
The Di family members bowed down one after another.
“By the grace of heaven, I, the benevolent and martial, holy and wise, Emperor of Jiandetian Dynasty, decree: The daughter of Lin Xiner, Liu Sisi, has a virtuous and prudent nature, elegant and pleasing demeanor, dignified and intelligent. She is submissive and gentle, warm and kind in character, skilled in housekeeping, and embodies virtuous morality. She is noble and frugal, which greatly comforts my heart. Today, I confer her the title of Prefecture Princess Ruyu, granting her the name Wanyu, bestowing her with a stipend of 3,000 dans and 500 households, a mansion as her residence, 500 litres of pearls, a certain amount of gold and silver, a certain amount of jade articles…
Eunuch Xiao eventually managed to finish reading the long decree written on a piece of yellow silk cloth. After taking a breath, he closed the decree and raised it high, signaling everyone to give thanks.
The members of the Di family seemed to be in shock, their mouths wide open, staring blankly at Eunuch Xiao, who had just finished reading the decree.
Was the person mentioned in the decree really Liu Sisi? Did he not find the wrong person?
This was the common question in everyone’s hearts, even Liu Sisi herself stared wide-mouthed, unable to close it for quite a while.
What exactly was going on?
After a while, when Eunuch Xiao impatiently coughed for the third time, Di Yelei finally reacted and gently pulled Liu Sisi.
“Thank you, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!”
By the time Liu Sisi accepted the decree, holding the heavy paper in her hand, she was still in a daze. She looked back at Eunuch Xiao: “Eunuch Xiao, this… this…”
Eunuch Xiao, however, smiled generously: “First, I congratulate Prefecture Princess Ruyu. I can reveal that this decree is related to Prince Nan. Prince Nan has been missing you a lot. When he learned that I was coming, he specifically asked me to bring a letter to Prefecture Princess Ruyu.”
As he spoke, he took a letter from his arms and respectfully handed it over to Liu Sisi with both hands.
Ah! So Nan Tianzong went to His Majesty to help her seek the decree! Liu Sisi suddenly realized! Finally, she understood the origin of the matter. Now she knew what to do.
“Eunuch Xiao, Ruyu thanks you for your candid words. Please wait in the front hall while I prepare some food for you to eat tomorrow before you leave.”
Liu Sisi quickly took the letter and tucked it into her arms.
“It’s fine to have a light meal, but I don’t need to stay overnight. I’m in a hurry to get back to the palace.”
“In that case, Eunuch Xiao, please.”
Liu Sisi gave Di Yelei a signal, and he hurriedly accompanied Eunuch Xiao to the front hall.
When the two left, everyone else gathered around.
“Sisi, what… what’s going on here?” Elderly Mr. Di couldn’t help but ask.
Isn’t Liu Sisi from the Liu Family’s Mansion? How did she become a Prefecture Princess?
Speaking of this matter, Liu Sisi felt a little speechless: “The Prince Nan mentioned by Eunuch Xiao earlier is actually my sworn brother, Nan Tianzong. He probably pleaded for me before His Majesty, which is why I received the title of Prefecture Princess.”
