I fought back after reselling my engagement
Chapter 39: Scared and ran away from home
The imperial palace, the Jiaoyang Palace where the Empress resides, is particularly lively today. The Ninth Princess, the Princess Changle, the Princess Fanghua, and the newly-appointed Princess Chiayi are all gathered together.
Rong Yin had never thought that the story of Zhen Su in her little notebook would make the emperor and the empress very happy, and she also gained a reputation of being "benevolent and kind", and was granted the title of county lord with Mu fiefdom. Although this place was far in the northwest and very poor, it had real benefits and could collect taxes. As long as she was alive, she would be the master there.
The king's words are as good as gold. Yesterday at two o'clock in the morning, the emperor gave the order to the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy to draft an edict.
Princess Changle was the daughter of Prince Gong in her old age. At the age of three, she obtained a medium-sized county as her fiefdom at the request of Prince Gong. Changle was the only princess in Prince Gong's mansion who had a fiefdom of Mu. This was because Changle was the only legitimate daughter of Prince Gong's wife, and Changle's eldest brother was the Prince Gong's Crown Prince, and her second brother was conferred the title of a princess.
Princess Fanghua is the daughter of Princess Dekang. Fanghua is her title and also her name. Even she has never had a fiefdom. Princess Dekang has submitted two petitions, hoping to get a fiefdom for her beloved daughter before Princess Fanghua gets married.
If Princess Fanghua did not have a fiefdom before she got married, she would never have one in the future. Although she has the title of a princess now, compared with Rong Yin, she is not as noble as Rong Yin. This is the difference between having a fiefdom and not having one.
The county lady was conferred the title of king; when noble ladies gathered together, they would be a little more noble than others.
This is the difference between women before they get married.
Princess Changle knew that Zhen Su had saved her most adorable and favored nephew among her nephews, and she wanted to repay him. She spoke well of Zhen Su yesterday, and Rong Yin said that she and her eldest maid secretly helped him. Because of this, the Ninth Princess and Princess Changle spoke well of him. The emperor was very happy at that time and immediately ordered a reward and award.
Rong Yin was spying out of curiosity, and the person who helped to clean up the mess was able to pick up the reputation of a county lord, and even got a lower-class county as his Mu food fief, which made it more face-saving when he went out in the future.
Princess Fanghua naturally hoped that her uncle the Emperor and her aunt the Empress would be happy. Perhaps through the reward to Zhen Su, she could also secure a fiefdom for herself. She had reached the age for marriage, and without a fiefdom, she would be a princess in name only.
The two unmarried princesses in the palace woke up today and heard that the emperor had conferred the title of Princess of Chiayi on Rong Yin, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Le Da, and awarded Dafeng County in the northwest as the fief of Mu. Some of them were extremely envious, but those among them who were not favored had not yet received a title, let alone a fief of Mu.
After some inquiries by the mothers of several people, they found out that Rong Yinfeng County Lady had picked up a great bargain, and the one who really did good deeds was someone else - Miss Zhen Er.
The brave ones pestered their mother to go to the Queen's Palace to pay respects and take a look at the rumored soft-hearted girl. When they arrived, the number of people in the palace had increased to more than a dozen.
When Princess Changle saw that several ladies had arrived, she asked Rong Yin to tell a few stories about Miss Zhen Er.
Shufei, Guifei and Lipin were all startled.
Concubine Zhou Shu said: "Miss Zhen Er has a kind heart. I didn't expect that she would be so brave to save people."
The Ninth Princess said, "If Jiayi hadn't been watching her for two years, who would have thought that she had done so many good things behind the scenes."
Doing good deeds without leaving a name, the imperial concubine thought that there was no such fool in the world. Maybe people hid it because they felt it was not enough. They naturally did not expect that Zhen Su did good deeds just to prolong his life, but the more he did it, the more it became a habit.
The Tenth Princess said, "I really didn't see it. Everyone said it was a soft dumpling."
The imperial concubine laughed and spat, "Xiao Shi, this is not true softness, but a kind heart and a pure nature."
There is a difference between being a softie and being kind, and the fact that those beggars were willing to pass on messages for Zhen Er showed that Zhen Er had a good reputation among the beggars. This woman should not be underestimated. What she was thinking now was that if possible, she could let the fourth prince, whom she gave birth to, marry this woman, and he would surely win a good reputation.
At noon, the eunuch who was ordered to pick up Zhen Su came into the palace.
The eunuch rushed into Jiaoyang Palace and saw many empresses and princesses in the hall. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Zhen has run away from home!"
runaway?
Among the people in the First Palace, the Ninth Princess was the first to react: "Are you sure? She was fine, why did she run away from home?"
Rong Yin didn't understand, "Didn't she know that I entered the palace yesterday?"
Princess Fanghua pondered and said, "She ran away from home because she was afraid that her affairs would be known to others?"
The eunuch said, "This old servant went to announce the decree. Lord Zhen sent someone to the second Miss Zhen's attic, but found that no one was there. Her wet nurse and the eldest maid had been released from their indentures and were no longer in the family. The two young maids who served her were drugged and fell asleep. No one in the mansion seemed to know how she left."
Princess Changle really didn't understand, "Why did you run away from home?"
This guy is not a softie at all, he is clearly extremely bold, okay?
The Queen looked around, and the Imperial Concubine felt that this woman really did not like fame and fortune. She was the kind of legendary celebrity and elegant person who lived in seclusion and did not want to be contaminated by the mundane world. After this trip, she really became a person who did not pursue fame and fortune.
She heard that the emperor was quite curious about this woman, and even Rong Yin was watching her, and later secretly helped her to get the title of county princess and the Mu fiefdom. The original owner might be the princess, and at least a county would be given as the Mu fiefdom, but the stranger ran away from home.
The eunuch said, "This is a letter from Miss Zhen Er to Master Zhen."
The young eunuch took the letter and handed it to the queen.
The Ninth Princess and Princess Changle walked to one side and looked at the letter.
The queen looked at the beautiful calligraphy and said, "This calligraphy is well written. It is somewhat similar to Su Jingzhai's calligraphy, but it has a unique style, is gentle and bright, like the best of the best. There are not many women who can write such beautiful calligraphy."
The queen was also born into a first-class aristocratic family and a scholarly family. She loved talented people the most and would praise good handwriting whenever she saw it.
Princess Changle read the content above and said, "What a softie. She left because she was afraid that her stepmother would kill her. 'Flowers with surplus leaves should be cut, and people with surplus leaves should be left.' She actually thought that she was a superfluous person in the Zhen family. For the sake of family harmony, she would rather bear the pain and leave..."
The Ninth Princess said, "Her stepmother was a concubine who was promoted to the wife. Yesterday, Zhen Er insisted on not joining the calligraphy and painting club because she was afraid of her stepmother and sisters. She didn't expect that when I forced her to join the club yesterday, she was scared and ran away from home."
Princess Fanghua felt that this was not all. Although she was not very talented, she had met many people. Zhen Su was disappointed with her father and left to save her life. "No one knows where she went?"
Princess Changle clenched her fists, "Bad Zhen Er, didn't I tell you that I and the Ninth Princess would protect her, why did you run away from home? No, I have to get someone to find her. I haven't met such an interesting person in the capital for many years. If I keep her by my side, I also want to be a chivalrous woman and save people from danger."
Rong Yin was surprised. With Zhen Su's intelligence, he must have guessed that there would be a generous reward. Why did he leave at the critical moment? "Changle, I will go with you. Let's find her."
The queen liked this talented yet kindhearted woman very much. If she accepted the reward, she would be crowned a princess, and once her story was known, the nobles who had received her favor would thank her generously. But now that she was gone, the queen felt that she was indeed a wonderful woman, who really cared little about fame and fortune and would not bow down to wealth and honor.
