Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 386: No. 1 Grain Village

Mu Chenyi heard her question and said, "Ying Qi came back and said that the Queen Mother wanted to see you earlier, so she asked Eunuch Sun and the others to speed up on the way."

Xia Zixuan responded, "So we are going to the capital this time?"

"Well, although I don't know what the reward is this time, your rank will be higher than it is now, so you have to go and express your gratitude." Mu Chenyi said softly.

"Okay, we'll set off after I make all the arrangements." Xia Zixuan thought that everything at home had not been arranged yet, and suddenly found that she had to be busy again.

"Let's go! Go outside first, they should be here soon." Mu Chenyi said and took her out.

They waited outside for about half an hour, and then they heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the village entrance.

When the villagers heard the loud sound of gongs and drums, they ran out of their homes and saw that it was the same guard of honor from last time.

They all said, "Hey, this is the same honor guard from last time."

"What do you think they are doing this time?"

"What else can we do? It must be that the higher-ups found out about the crops grown by Miss Xuan again!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Maybe he is here to confer an honor on Miss Xuan again."

"Come on, let's go and take a look together."

"..."

Eunuch Sun and others once again came to Xia Zixuan under the leadership of Chu Qingchuan.

Eunuch Sun got off the carriage and nodded when he saw Mu Chenyi. He then said to Xia Zixuan, "How is Princess Huian? We meet again."

Xia Zixuan quickly bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Sun, thank you for your hard work along the way."

Eunuch Sun said, "Princess Hui'an, the emperor has issued an order, please accept it!"

"Yes." After Xia Zixuan responded, Jinghe hurriedly asked Eunuch Sun to come to the table.

Xia Zixuan and her group knelt down, and heard Eunuch Sun say: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: There is a girl named Xuan in the Xia family, who is very intelligent..."

It was almost a quarter of an hour after Eunuch Sun finished reading the imperial edict. Xia Zixuan complained in her heart: Every time she received the imperial edict, it was always sunny, which was enough to make people get heatstroke.

"I hereby confer the title of Princess Huian on the title of Princess Huian, and grant her the land of Qinghe County and ten thousand acres of fertile land..."

Xia Zixuan didn't feel anything when she heard about the fiefdom. Having a fiefdom meant leading the people in the fiefdom to improve their lives, which she could do easily.

But the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, except for the taxes collected, belonged to her.

She didn't expect to collect much tax in Qinghe County. The most important thing was to improve their lives first.

While Xia Zixuan was thinking about this and that, Eunuch Sun finished reading the imperial edict, "I also specially grant Princess Huian the right to see you without kneeling. I decree this! Princess Huian, please accept the edict!"

When Xia Zixuan heard Eunuch Sun's voice, she quickly said, "Yes, Huian will accept the order."

When Eunuch Sun saw Xia Zixuan accept the imperial edict, he said, "Princess Hui'an, the emperor is very righteous and has specifically instructed us to tell the princess that she can come to the capital later to express her gratitude."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. Please also convey the message to Eunuch Sun." After saying that, she gestured to Jinghe to give the red envelope to Eunuch Sun.

Jinghe walked to Eunuch Sun and said, "Eunuch, this is tea given to you by our princess. I hope you don't mind it."

Eunuch Sun smiled and said, "Then we would like to thank the princess."

Eunuch Sun collected the silver, turned around and looked at the crowd and asked, "Who is the head of Qingshan Village?"

Upon hearing this, the village chief hurried over and saluted, saying, "Greetings, sir. I am the village chief of Qingshan Village. What instructions do you have for me, sir?"

Eunuch Sun looked at the village chief and said, "The emperor has given his order. Because Princess Huian of Qingshan Village has led the entire village in growing high-yield grain, she is granted a plaque of 'No. 1 Grain Village'."

Upon hearing this, the village chief knelt down excitedly and kowtowed three times towards the direction of the capital, saying: "Qingshan Village Chief Xia Zhisen kowtows to thank the emperor for his great grace. Long live the emperor!"

Upon hearing this, the other people in the village also knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor!"

At Mu Chenyi's signal, Eunuch Sun said, "Everyone, get up!"

"Yes, thank you, sir." The village chief stood up and said.

Chu Qingchuan saw that Eunuch Sun had delivered what he wanted to say, so he walked out and said, "Eunuch Sun, the food has been prepared at Pinxian Pavilion, let's go back!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Sun responded, "Okay, go back!"

Chu Qingchuan said goodbye to Xia Zixuan and the others, "I will bring your sister Xinyao to celebrate with you some other day."

Xia Zixuan smiled and shook her head and said, "Brother Chu, there's no need to ask Sister Xinyao to make this trip. We can go to the county town another day."

Chu Qingchuan nodded and said, "Okay, you can go to the county town with Ayi after you arrange your family's affairs."
