1847 The princess protector of the kingdom
Other than the great Zhou’s soldiers, there were also great Zhou’s commoners around. Most of the people present knew about Gu Xin. During those two years, Gu Xin often strolled around kun city’s trading area. At that time, she used the name ” third young master Gu “. Later on, everyone found out that only the fourth and sixth young masters were in the top six of the Gu family. The rest were all ladies.
Therefore, they all knew Gu Xin, the third daughter of the Gu family.
After not seeing her for two years, third miss Gu had grown taller and her skin had become darker. However, her pair of bright eyes had not changed at all.
The commoners followed old general Peng and knelt down to pay their respects to Gu Xin.
In the two years that third miss Gu had gone to the West, kun city had been very peaceful. Those who had spread rumors that the West was going to attack had all been slapped in the face. Kun city was getting better and better.
At the beginning of this year, the entire great Zhou, especially the people of kunzhou, found out from the Yamen’s notice about what third miss Gu had experienced in the past two years.
They thanked third miss Gu from the bottom of their hearts.
Gu Xin went forward to help old general Peng up and sobbed, ” “Grandpa Peng, aren’t you shortening my lifespan? There’s no reason for your elders to bow to me, a junior.”
“The Imperial edict has arrived!”
At this moment, eunuch Fu arrived on a horse, looking travel-worn.
He didn’t have the time to exchange pleasantries with the crowd. After he got off his horse, he stood in front of Gu Xin and bowed respectfully, ” Princess Xinxin, I’m here to welcome the princess. Please accept the decree!
Gu Xin was stunned. Her father had brought her the Imperial edict that the Emperor had given her to become a Princess. What imperial edict was this?
Eunuch Fu held the Imperial edict in his hand and raised it in the air.”The second daughter of the second branch of the Gu family, the kun Prefecture prefect Gu shouxin, receives the Imperial edict!”
Gu Xin knelt on the ground.
Other than eunuch Fu, who was announcing the edict, everyone else knelt down.
Eunuch Fu began to announce the decree.
The decree this time was roughly about how Gu Xin accidentally entered the western lands two years ago. For the sake of harmony between the East and West, she endured humiliation, hardship, and danger to fight against the cloud Sea tribe together with the other countries in the western lands and won. At the same time, Gu Xin promoted peace between the East and the West and formed friendly relations with the other countries in the western lands.
Gu Xin was specially conferred the title of first rank Princess protector of the country, and she would receive the same treatment as the Empress’s Royal Princess. She would have a fief, a house, fertile land, and gold.
Apart from that, the Emperor also allowed Gu Xin to train her soldiers, regardless of gender. He allowed Gu Xin to raise an army of a thousand men.
There were great Zhou’s civil and military officials, as well as students and citizens present. They all witnessed Gu Xin’s glory, which was no less than being conferred a title in the court.
Gu Xin happily accepted the edict. She had a house and land now. It was hers and she could even raise her own army. Hahahaha!
……
It was already dark when he returned home.
At home, first aunt Zhang Shi and fourth aunt Yang Shi had already ordered people to prepare a few tables of dishes that were all Gu Xin’s favorite.
Zhang Shi might be annoying and prioritized boys over girls, but the two years that Gu Xin wasn’t around, she was also quite upset. When she saw Gu Xin again, she even hugged her little niece and shed two drops of tears, ” “It’s good that Xinxin is back! I’ve been thinking about it badly.”
Gu Xin chuckled. Auntie, I can tell. You’ve lost weight. It seems like you still like me a lot!
Mrs. Zhang had really lost weight. Over the past year, Cai Xiaolian had made her a diet meal, which was what Cai Xiaolian had experienced in the modern world. She had lost dozens of pounds by eating. Mrs. Zhang had completely changed.
Once her figure was good, coupled with the fact that the Gu family ate well and dressed well, other than Gu Xin, who was always worried about being out, there was nothing to worry about. Zhang Shi seemed to have become ten years younger.
