Chapter 293: Superior to All the Princes

"Taifu, please stand up." Jiang Yi smiled faintly, with an awe-inspiring demeanor between his eyebrows and eyes. "What precedents are there? Aren't they all meant to be broken? My daughter has suffered so much in Mu State for so many years, so what's wrong with me compensating her a little? If I hadn't wronged her back then, maybe there would be no chance for the emperor and me to sit on this seat today, no four princes would be intact, and no ministers would be here to talk about rules and ancestral systems."

After these words came out, Taifu froze, and the four princes couldn't say a word.

Although Jiang Yi never took credit for himself in these years, and rarely mentioned the incident in front of the ministers, everyone present had to admit that it was Jiang Yi's credit that the emperor and the four princes could have today's glory.

And Jiang Yi did wrong his daughter for fourteen years in order to have no worries.

No one could refute this.

After a long silence, the Grand Tutor seemed unwilling to give up and still struggled: "Her Highness Princess has been wronged for many years, and we are also heartbroken. No matter how much gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin the Queen gives her, we will not have any thoughts. It's just the fiefdom and title-"

"I think this is the only way to compensate her." Jiang Yi ignored his feeling, "lest someone talk about the superiority of men and women in front of her in the future, and let Li'er be humiliated and insulted under my nose."

As soon as these words came out, the palace suddenly fell into a subtle and awkward atmosphere.

Yan Zheng and Yan Chen sat in silence, their faces a little ugly.

Is this compensation?

Yan Li made such a big fuss in Yanling, and the largest Kang family in Yanling fell into her hands, but the Queen gave her Yanling as a fiefdom.

This is simply praising her behavior in public, agreeing that her behavior is right, and even giving her the confidence to continue such behavior in the future.

The queen wants to make a young princess superior to her four brothers, to make her the most honorable person under the emperor and the queen, and to give her real power that does not belong to a princess?

Moreover, Yanling is so close to Shengjing, and it is almost the richest place after Shengjing. The queen gave such a rich city to an ignorant little princess. Is she trying to let her fly to the sky? Tianlai Novel Network

With the title of the eldest princess, a rich fiefdom, and three thousand elite soldiers, how can Princess Yanli be more than superior to the four princes?

I am afraid that even the crown prince cannot compare with her majesty.

"It's settled." Jiang Yi's decision was irrefutable. "The Ministry of Rites will renovate the prince's residence later. The house is large and has a nice view. There is a ready-made training ground and barracks in the northwest corner of the mansion, which can be used to house Li'er's elite soldiers. Let's give it to Yan Li as the Princess's Mansion."

The Minister of Rites stepped out: "I obey your order. I will urge them to get it done as soon as possible."

"Mother." Yan Yun stood up and bowed. "My sister is a girl. Isn't it inappropriate to openly place so many soldiers in the princess's mansion?"

"Those are Li'er's private soldiers. Placing them in the princess's mansion can just protect her safety." Jiang Yi said in a light tone, "There's nothing inappropriate."

Yan Yun hesitated: "But with three thousand private soldiers, They are all men, and two thousand of them are from other countries——"

"Li'er is not only the eldest princess of Jin, but also the princess of Mu." Jiang Yi looked at her calmly, "She is also the ninth princess of Mu. Her husband arranged private soldiers for her. What do you think is wrong?"

Yan Yun paused: "That's not what I meant."

"Jin and Mu have become friendly allies." Jiang Yi said, "I know these things, you don't have to worry about them."

Yan Yun froze and lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Jiang Yi sat up slightly and turned to look at Ling Ning: "Today, in addition to welcoming Yan Li, we also have to receive the distinguished guests from Mu. You don't have to focus on Yan Li."

The ministers had subtle expressions.

It's not that they want to focus on Yan Li.

If it were normal, they would also be willing to express their goodwill towards the little princess's return to make the queen happy.

But the queen's attitude towards Yan Li is no longer just a mother's favoritism towards her daughter, but a real threat to the status of the four princes.

Yan Chen even suffered a nearly fatal blow, how could he remain calm?

"Miss Ling." Jiang Yi raised his glass towards Ling Ning, "Jin welcomes your arrival. You are about the same age as Yan Li. You can spend more time with her these days. Tomorrow, I will take a day off to discuss with you the friendship between Jin and Mu."

Ling Ning replied: "Thank you, Queen, for your hospitality. May Mu and Jin have a hundred years of friendship and eternal peace."

Yan Li took a sip of tea and hid the expression in her eyes.

"Yun Si, send someone to clean up Zhaoyang Palace later. The princess will live in the palace for a while and move in after the princess's mansion is repaired." Jiang Yi ordered, "The maids and palace maids will be configured according to the princess's specifications. When they move out of the palace, they will be taken there together."

Yun Si agreed: "Yes."

Jiang Yi said: "There is nothing else to do. Let's play the song and dance."

Yun Si clapped her hands, and the melodious and pleasant sound of stringed instruments suddenly rose.

Beautiful dancers in red dance costumes came in one after another, each of them graceful and elegant, dancing charmingly and agilely, instantly livening up the tense atmosphere in the hall.

Yan Chen sat alone, holding the wine cup so tightly that veins could be seen protruding on the back of his hand.

He looked gloomy and depressed, indifferent to the scene of singing and dancing in front of him, and just lowered his eyes and drank.

The ministers of Jin State had different thoughts. They seemed to be appreciating the dancers seriously, but their eyes were always unconsciously wandering in various directions, observing the expressions of the queen and several princes quietly, and secretly examining the little princess who came back from Mu State.

The emperor and his ministers were happy in the palace. At this time, in the Ganyu Palace, Concubine De was gently feeding the emperor medicine.

"The emperor and the queen have only such a precious daughter. It's not easy to bring her back this time. The queen sister should be very happy." Concubine De sighed, and her eyebrows and eyes showed melancholy. "It's really hard for the queen for so many years. She has been separated from her own flesh and blood for fourteen years. If it were me, I don't know how to live."

Emperor Wen leaned against the head of the bed tiredly, his face was pale, haggard and lifeless.

He was obviously in his forties and still in his prime, but his face already had a bit of dead air.

"The Queen has indeed paid a lot for me." After drinking the bitter medicine, he frowned, "Besides, Yan Li is also my daughter, I am sorry for her."

De Fei paused for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Yes, even if the Queen sister compensates her with all the best, it is reasonable. After all, Li'er is the only little princess of the royal family, and she deserves to be pampered."
