The imperial edict to reward Xu Zhi was drafted by Zhongshu Sheren and then sent to the hands of Zhongshu Ling. Finally, it was sent to the Menxia Province. The Menxia Province was not very happy and sent it back to His Majesty's desk.

After going through this process twice, it was finally settled.

The people in Zhongshu put their heads together and talked about exposing the matter of selling an official position and getting a title. They talked about it and had something to do with Xu Zhi. They wrote about how meticulous she was, not afraid of the powerful, let alone implicating her mother's family. After discovering that this trend existed in Beijing

After that, he immediately reported it to Heaven through his daughter's mouth. This is a major event that benefits the country.

He also writes about how Mrs. Xue was there in the past, how she served the sick in front of the bed and endured the fatigue and pain on her body. What a virtuous daughter-in-law she was.

Finally, I will write that her greatest achievement is raising Princess Xuan. Princess Xuan is so virtuous and kind, and she has a mother who sets a good example...

"...Now I am conferring the title of Lady of Xun State to five hundred households in the city..."

The chamberlain who announced the decree lowered his voice and whispered: "Madam, please accept the decree."

Xu Zhi's heart was trembling. When she stood up and took it, she still felt as if she was dreaming.

We had met several times before, and Xue Qingyin never mentioned a word to her, but she was holding back such a big deal!

"Madam, there is no need to enter the palace to express gratitude." The chamberlain said with a smile.

Now that there is no queen in the palace, even if she enters the palace, she can only pay homage to Concubine Dong Xian. This is not appropriate in terms of rules.

Xu Zhi nodded and sent the servant out.

The chamberlain waved his hands repeatedly: "How dare you ask Madam to see you off?" After saying that, he didn't dare to delay and walked away quickly.

Xu Zhi let out a breath, turned around and looked at the Xu family members who were still kneeling there... They seemed to be frozen there, and they didn't get up for a long time.

It was He Songning who said, "Qingyin is really unexpected..." and woke everyone up.

"Yes, yes." The Xu family got up in a daze.

"The imperial edict just now actually praised your mother as a virtuous daughter-in-law!"

Everyone in the capital knew about her entanglements with the Xue family, and now they even reconciled...

"Not only that, but what about a loyal woman, not afraid of power, and a woman who doesn't give in to men..."

Xu Zhi felt embarrassed when she heard this.

Every word sounds like it's made up...

"I, the Xu family, have been a merchant for generations, but I never imagined that one day I would be ordered to do something for you!" Xu Qi covered her face and burst into tears as she spoke.

If Xue Qingyin heard this here, she would say that this is good.

The atmosphere in the Liang Dynasty was still much more open. If the household registration system was implemented like the Ming Dynasty, it would not be able to change in another eight hundred lifetimes. The descendants of low-class people will only have low-class registrations forever.

"If our ancestors had known about it, they would have emitted green smoke."

"Quickly, send a revised book to Yangzhou and inform your parents."

Several people were chattering away.

Finally, Mrs. Gui walked to Xu Zhi's side and looked at the sister carefully, as if she were seeing a distinguished person.

"I don't know how much effort Qingyin put in to achieve such a difficult result." Gui said with envy.

Xu Zhi gave birth to a sick daughter and divorced Xue Chengdong.

People in the capital privately commented that she was stupid and had ruined her good life. If she didn't change her temper, she would suffer a lot in the future.

Even if I beat them to death, I wouldn't think of this day.

"Yeah..." Xu Zhi looked melancholy, "How much hardship did Qingyin endure in exchange for my reward today?"

"Qingyin is still considerate. She must be thinking about leaving now. It's a long way to go, and I can't worry about you as a mother!" Xu Qi turned around and sighed.

Xu Zhi was a little lost in thought.

Her Qingyin clearly knew that Ning Que was interested in her. With Ning Que in the capital, she would definitely not suffer...

But her Qingyin still found ways to do more for her.

Xu Zhi felt shocked and sad at the same time. Only then did she feel that she was not smart enough and hated herself for not being able to do more for her daughter...

"With the first grade of imperial edict, I don't know how many women in the capital have to bow when they see Ah Zhi."

"We can all benefit to some extent. Qingyin is gone, and we are not afraid anymore!"

The Xu family could not hide their excitement and were still discussing.

He Songning felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He originally thought that if Xu Zhi wanted to be blessed in this life, she would most likely have to rely on him.

Who knew that Xue Qingyin could accomplish great things quietly.

After his imperial examination, even if he is granted the title of Marquis or Prime Minister, there will be no room for him to perform.

There is no seal for a first-grade imperial edict.

Xu Zhi was forcibly lifted to the highest point she could go!

He Songning suddenly interrupted: "It's not too difficult for Qingyin."

Suddenly everyone looked towards him.

"How could Aning say that?"

"Your sister must have put in a lot of effort..."

He Songning sneered inwardly, so the Xu family was short-sighted and could only be merchants.

His face did not change as he said: "Do you know about the excitement among King Xuan's army outside the city?"

"This..." I really don't know the identity of the Xu family.

"If I were to say that he contributed more to it, I am afraid that my prince's brother-in-law contributed more. In order to appease his son and make him take Qingyin to the fiefdom with peace of mind, so as to save them from worries, he was willing to issue a decree to reward my mother."

Xu Qi frowned and said: "Aning, don't fool us. Previously, King Xuan liked your sister so much, but he couldn't make her his concubine. From this, it can be seen how difficult it is to grant your mother a first-class imperial title. …”

"Uncle, do you know why everyone wants to get grace?"

"This, is there any need to say this? It must be that if you get the holy grace, you will be able to rise to great heights..."

"Just like today's imperial edict, a literati can write good things even with a pen. Sometimes, whether it is worthy or not is just a matter of the emperor's words. If the emperor is not happy, even if Qing Yin breaks his head, it will not matter. I can't exchange for this imperial edict." He Songning said.

Xu Zhi said coldly: "In your eyes, nothing your sister does is good enough?"

He Songning: "...I didn't say Qingyin was bad, Qingyin is very good."

His thoughts were in a daze.

"It's so good..." It was beyond his expectation.

Xu Qi coughed slightly and said quickly: "Aning, has the recent imperial examination incident had a big impact on you?"

He Songning laughed and shook his head: "This is a trivial matter, how can it disturb my mind?"

Xu Qi thought to himself, isn't this bragging? It seems that he has been influenced, so his emotions are so suppressed, and every word he says is not pleasant to the ear.

He Songning noticed their gazes and felt funny in his heart.

That’s all…

What do they know?

He Songning said: "Don't be angry, mother. After Qingyin leaves, I will take more care of mother."

Xu Zhi's expression softened slightly: "If you have the time, please pay more attention to your sister. She is leaving soon..." Xu Zhi frowned: "Don't always think about Xue Qinghe!"

He Songning was stunned for a moment: "I...haven't seen Qinghe recently."

I really forgot about it when I got busy.

"Really?" Xu Zhi seemed to believe it.

He Songning nodded goodbye.

Xu Zhi thought he was going to see Xue Qingyin, so she didn't say anything.

After leaving Xu's house, He Songning's face darkened unconsciously.

The Xu family and Xue Qingyin really feel like a family...

He Songning raised his hand and pressed his chest.

There was some emptiness there.

"Go to Prince Wei's Mansion." He Songning whispered.

The driver moved in response.

Before reaching Prince Wei's Mansion and just entering the alley, someone bumped into the carriage heavily.

He Songning lifted the car curtain.

I saw a woman falling in front of me, her clothes were torn. She raised her head, her face was beautiful and pitiful: "King Wei..."

Before she finished speaking, she noticed that the person coming was not King Wei, so she choked in her throat.

He Songning looked at the people pulling and pushing behind her.
