Ye Zifen was full of doubts, but she immediately knelt down respectfully. "I accept your order!" She knelt down, ready to accept the order.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Princess Furui's granddaughter Ye Zifen is of good character and a kind heart. During the drought, her family fully supported the court, opened warehouses to release grain, and provided relief to the victims, with outstanding contributions. Her good deeds not only demonstrated the honor of her family, but also became a role model for the people of the world. In order to reward her achievements, Ye Zifen is specially canonized as the Princess of Fuxia, and is granted food and a mansion. I hope that she can continue to maintain a kind heart in the future and make greater contributions to the court and the people."

Ye Zifen took the imperial edict handed to her by her father-in-law and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Lord, for your grace!"

At this time, many court officials turned their eyes to the girl kneeling on the ground, and finally understood why she could follow the emperor so gloriously today.

However, there has never been such a precedent since the founding of this dynasty, and several court officials were about to step forward to advise.

The emperor suddenly said, "Master Hong knows this girl better, why don't you tell the court officials what this girl did."

Upon hearing this, Lord Hong immediately stepped forward and responded respectfully, "Yes."

Then, he began to narrate Ye Zifen's actions in an orderly manner, from the initial capture of bandits, to the later excavation of canals, the manufacture of windmills and clocks, and the donation of one million taels of silver to the court; to the later delivery of food and cotton clothes to the army, and even his caravan to replenish the army's troops.

As the court officials listened to these stories, they couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in their hearts, as if the Tiger Army fighting outside had a close connection with Ye Zifen's caravan.

After Lord Hong finished his statement, the emperor added: "I have allowed this girl's ship to go out to sea, and half of the food she brings back will be handed over to the court. Do you understand the significance of this?"

The court officials were silent, and the emperor continued, "When the drought is over, the court will reopen maritime trade. At that time, the girl's merchant ship will enjoy five years of tax exemption as compensation to her. I am deeply gratified and grateful that the descendants of my uncle and sister can do such a righteous thing."

Ye Zifen knelt down again, her eyes gleaming with determination and loyalty, and she said sincerely, "This is what a servant should do. I have never thought about asking for any reward!"

Her words flowed like a spring, clear and sincere.

The emperor nodded slightly, indicating that he understood her intention, but then he said: "I know that you have never thought about rewarding me. If it weren't for the accident, you would never come to see me in your life. However, it is precisely because of this series of coincidences that I want to announce what you have done to the world, so that everyone can see what kind of responsibility and dedication the children of the royal family shoulder."

Zhang Gaoyi suddenly stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

His expression was serious and his eyes revealed a determination.

The emperor seemed to have expected him to speak, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Zhang Gaoyi clasped his fists and saluted, saying solemnly, "The origins of the Tiger Army soldiers can be divided into three categories. The first category is the cargo-carrying masters in Miss Ye's caravan. They were originally responsible for cargo-carrying and training newcomers, and they are all over thirty years old. The second category is the cargo-carrying men who have undergone rigorous training by the masters, and they are men between the ages of thirteen and seventeen. The third category is the villagers who received a month of temporary training at Miss Ye's training ground during the conscription. Apart from these, there are less than ten people."

His words were like a clear spring, clearly reflecting the truth.

Zhang Gaoyi's words aptly confirmed the doubts in the hearts of the court officials.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and their admiration for Ye Zifen grew deeper.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his eyes swept over the courtiers below, a smile of relief appearing on his face.

He said: "What this girl did may not even be done by my courtiers! Take the matter of digging rivers and building reservoirs, for example. These are not ideas that ordinary people can think of. Of course, the local Magistrate Su is also a bold and careful person. The two of them, one making plans and the other putting them into practice, not only benefited the people of the county, but also provided a good place for the court to raise food. If I can have a few more courtiers like this in my court, if I can leave a few more courtiers like this for the future prince, I will have the face to face the ancestors of Daxia."

At the same time, the emperor and court officials of the previous dynasty were immersed in their admiration for Ye Zifen.

It made Ye Zifen feel uncomfortable.

However, the news that Ye Zifen was named Princess Fuxia had already spread in the harem.

Now that everyone knows her background, people in the harem don't care how much Ye Zifen has done.

At this moment, all they thought about was how to establish a relationship with this princess.

After all, this princess is obviously someone who is deeply loved by the emperor. Who wouldn’t want to have a relationship with her?

Especially those concubines who have princes, they can't wait to make friends with them.

At the same time, palace maids and eunuchs were sent out to other palaces to find out about Ye Zifen's specific situation.

In the harem, the queen was talking to her personal nanny about what the emperor said last night. She had sent an envoy to read the imperial decree and invite Princess Anle to the palace. However, before the envoy arrived, she heard the news that Ye Zifen was canonized as Princess Fuxia.

The queen smiled slightly and said softly, "Princess Fuxia! This title is quite interesting. The person who can have this title must be extraordinary."

The nanny responded immediately: "It is said that this princess is the granddaughter of Princess Furui, so she is definitely not an ordinary person."

The queen smiled lightly, with the corners of her mouth raised, and said with a hint of disdain: "Don't forget the important position of Prince Rui and Princess Fu Rui's consort in the heart of our emperor."

At this point, she deliberately snorted. She didn't know about the affairs between the emperor, Prince Rui, and Princess Fu Rui. So what if her sister knew? Didn't she go there early?

"The Emperor has long intended to confer titles on them, but has never found the right time. Now that their descendants have handed their legitimate sons to the Emperor, how can the Emperor not give them rewards?"

The nanny nodded slightly, a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she comforted softly: "Madam, since you understand the reason, why do you care so much? It's just a princess, not to mention that she suddenly appeared. As long as you are good at winning people's hearts, you don't have to worry about anything."
