Amidst the crackling and crackling of the cannons, the atmosphere was filled with a joyous and joyous celebration as Lian Fang appeared in front of the manor's entrance under the escort of numerous people.
He wore a crown with wings, a robe with five claws and a belt with a jade belt at his waist. In the middle of the jade belt was a ruby, and he wore thick black boots with boots.
Lian Ruyue stood in the crowd and silently looked at him, revealing a gratified smile — —
Perhaps because of the royal bloodline in his blood, there was a faint force pushing him closer to this palace.
The first wife secretly looked at Zhou mama with a complicated expression on her face, until Lian Fu walked in front of her and knelt on the ground to greet her mother.
She stared blankly at the extraordinary bearing of her "son" in front of her. Finally, she reached out her hand to help him up and said:
"Now that you are a noble duke, your rank is even higher than mine. There's no need to perform such a great courtesy in the future."
Lian Fu raised his head and looked at her. His eyes were like amber, clear and bright without any impurities. He said, "No matter what rank your child is, your mother will always be your mother."
The first wife felt her heart tremble, as if her ugly thoughts had been seen through. Her eyes twinkled as she said, "Yi'er is a sensible child."
Lian Rou stood at the side and said happily, "My lord, you have really given birth to an excellent son. In the past hundred years of our Lian Family, no one has ever conferred the title of King. Your son is the first one."
"It's the old master and your guidance." the First Lady said quickly.
"Brother, congratulations, Duke Ming An." Lian Shiya walked up from behind as she bowed and said.
Lian Meng looked at her indifferently and said, "Thank you."
"Mother, Brother, there are a lot of comrades waiting outside to congratulate Fourth Brother and Duke Ming An." San Ye and Yan Tao excitedly jogged in.
Presently, the son of the Lian Clan was bestowed the surname of a different Prefecture King, and his fame even surpassed that of Xiao He. This showed how much the Emperor valued Lian Yanqing, and thus, the officials of the civil and martial families would naturally take advantage of this opportunity to curry favor with him.
Lian Yanqing revealed a smile on his face.
"Then I'll have them all line up and come in." Lian Yan Tao said.
At this time, Lian Ruyue calmly said, "No, Father, let them go." Her calm voice made everyone stop their excitement.
"Why not?" Lian Yan Tao frowned and said, "Today is a good day. Someone came to celebrate and kick someone out. Wouldn't someone gossip be spouted out?" "Besides, he even took the gift in his hand and kicked him out. It's not polite at all. Our Lian family is not that simple."
"Father, Grandmother, do you remember the Duke of Xiao back then? He returned victorious and did not know how to restrain himself, so he held a banquet for three days. For more than a month, the palace of Xiao had opened its doors wide to welcome the civil and military officials and famous nobles, and everyone brought a congratulatory gift. The Duke of Xiao received it with a smile, but what happened in the end? Third Uncle, what do you think the Emperor would think after hearing it?"
When Lian Ru Yue mentioned Xiao Zhen Hai as a prisoner, Lian Yan Tao went silent. Even Yan Qing and his mother nodded in agreement.
Lian Yanfu said, "Third Brother, Littlemoon's words are reasonable."
"In our Lian Family, within a day, Fourth Uncle was bestowed the title of Minister and our younger brother was bestowed the title of Crown Prince. This is a great favor bestowed by the Emperor, and Father could go refuse everyone, saying that everything was bestowed by the Emperor and that they would only hold a banquet according to his orders.
"Right now, this is the most glorious time of our Lian Family, but it is also the time to stand at the heart of the struggle." Right now, this is the best time of our Lian Family, but it is also the time to stand at the heart of the struggle. Lian Ru Yue slowed down as she said indifferently, "You all have seen the outcome of the Xiao family."
Lian Yanqing broke out in a cold sweat. He had just been overjoyed. As the Prime Minister, he had actually almost lost this little bit of vigilance. It was all thanks to this calm daughter of his who reminded him at the right time.
He nodded his head and said, "All of you, listen carefully. Do as the young miss says, from today onwards, no one is allowed to be complacent, and the food and clothing of each house must be saved. No one is allowed to receive gifts from any outsider.
"Yes." Everyone hurriedly said.
Lian Yanqing walked out to send off the people who came to deliver their congratulatory gifts. He also invited everyone to attend the banquet tomorrow night. He even said that they would not give him any gifts, otherwise, he would not be allowed to enter the sect.
Lian Rou's mother held Lian Lian Fu in one hand and Lian Ru Yue in the other. She was extremely gratified as she said, "I am truly blessed to have such a good granddaughter. Good grandson."
After everyone had dispersed, Lian Shiya arrived in front of her mother and said, "Grandmother, tomorrow's banquet will be held, and my grandson's daughter will be resting at the Clear Spring Courtyard. For such a joyous event, my grandson's daughter wants to stay and be happy.
His mother was too lazy to spare her another glance, so she instructed the maidservant beside her, "Huang Cen, arrange someone to bring her to Clear Spring Academy."
Lian Shiya was overjoyed as she said, "Thank you, Grandmother." She lowered her head, the corner of her mouth revealing a smile that said she was about to succeed.
After Lian Fu returned to the mandarin flower courtyard, his mother had already sent many more mama and maidservants to his courtyard, as well as many other precious items to his rooms. Now that he was a duke, it was only natural that he should have more heads.
As if it was a great honor, 49 put his hands behind his back and proudly led the group.
Even though Lian Fu was sitting in front of a desk and it was very lively around him, he didn't pay any attention to it.
He took out the other half of the Double Fish Jade Pendant from his bosom and placed it in his hand. He carefully examined it and recalled the words that the naive yet strong child had once said to him:
"Lian Fu, you are so powerful, you must be able to do it. I will wait for the day when you return home in glory. At that time, I will definitely go to the city gate to greet you and wash your face."
"Young Master, oh, no. Prince, what do you think about this vase?" 49 walked over, interrupting his thoughts and asking.
When Lian Meng returned to his senses, he blankly looked at the vase in 49's hands. He stood up, turned around and walked out.
"Duke!" 49 hurriedly put down the vase in his hand and followed him. "Where are you going?"
"Fourth or ninth, you stay here. I'll go find someone." Without even looking back, he walked out with large strides.
Fourth or Ninth stood on the spot and said to himself, "He just came back. Who are you looking for? Fourth or ninth has yet to properly talk with my young master."
