Chapter 160 Canonization
With the return of the legitimate daughter of Marquis Jichun's mansion, the news that she tore apart Yun Gansong, the concubine's son, and took back the Yun family's property spread throughout the city, and the noble families in the capital were also secretly wondering.
Yun Gansong, who usurped the Yun family's power and murdered the legitimate daughter of Marquis Jichun, attempted to seize the Yun family's property. He is indeed not a good person.
But with the demise of the Yun family's direct line, the Jichun Marquisate is only an empty name, and the title may be taken back at any time.
Even though the daughter of Marquis Jichun is the only bloodline of the Yun family, she is just an orphan after all.
In the past, she was not well-known in the capital. The most notorious thing about her was that she had a romantic affair with His Royal Highness Prince Yi, but was caught in the act.
Having done such a shameful thing, he naturally has a bad reputation in Beijing.
But now he has the courage to break up with Yun Gansong and is able to take back the Yun family's property. It is surprising.
Besides being surprised, I was also a little confused, wondering how she did it.
As the two imperial edicts were issued to Jichunhou Mansion, everyone's doubts were answered.
The first imperial edict stated that Yun Fuling had made great contributions in curing Jing **, and he was rewarded with a jade ruyi, a thousand taels of silver, and other treasures and antiques.
The second imperial edict officially conferred upon Yun Fuling the title of Queen of Prince Yi.
The family heads who were originally confused suddenly realized.
It turned out that Madam Yun, the female doctor who came into the Zichen Palace to treat Mr. Jing that day, was actually Yun Fuling, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Jichun.
I heard that when His Royal Highness Prince Yi returned to the capital that day, he brought a woman and a child with him, and they even got through to Jing**. I guess this woman must be Yun Fuling.
Yun Fuling and His Royal Highness Prince Yi already had the Queen Mother's decree to grant their marriage, and now that she had given birth to Prince Yi's eldest son, it was natural for her to be officially canonized as Prince Yi's principal wife.
No wonder Yun Fuling was so confident that she directly broke off relations with Yun Gansong, forcefully drove him out of Marquis Jichun's Mansion, and took back the Yun family's property.
With His Royal Highness Prince Yi backing her up and her status recognized by Jing **, it would be a piece of cake for her to deal with Yun Gansong!
The day after the imperial edict was issued was the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
Although Yun Fuling did not like socializing, this was her first official appearance in Daqi's upper class circle, so she naturally took it seriously and attached great importance to it.
After all, she is Princess Yi now. If she loses face, it will not only be her own face that will be lost, but also Xiao Jingyi's face.
Yun Fuling naturally couldn't let this happen.
The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is held in the evening, but those who attend the banquet usually have to enter the palace early in the afternoon.
Yun Fuling dressed up carefully today.
Her eyebrows are lightly drawn and she has a light amount of makeup, but her natural beauty cannot be concealed.
After she changed into the princess dress that the Inner Court had sent earlier, the two maids serving her were stunned.
"Princess, you look so beautiful today!"
Yun Fuling smiled. She was very satisfied with her current appearance.
After everything was packed up and they came out of the inner room, Xiao Jingyi, who had been waiting in the outer room, couldn't help but stare at Yun Fuling when he saw her.
Yun Jingmo, now in the Imperial Book of Changes and renamed Xiao Jingmo, ran forward, tilted his head and said, "Mom, you are so pretty!"
Yun Fuling raised her hand and scratched Xiao Jingmo's nose. Seeing that he was dressed in a jade-colored brocade silk robe, which made him look handsome and noble besides being cute, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly that it is true that clothes make the man!
With a proper dressing up, her appearance will be improved by several levels.
Seeing that it was getting late, the family of three got on a carriage engraved with the logo of Prince Yi's Mansion and headed towards the imperial palace.
Prince Yi’s Mansion was not far from the Imperial Palace, and they arrived there in a short while.
At this time, there were already quite a few people standing in front of the palace gate, waiting in line to enter the palace.
Except for a few who had special permission and were allowed to enter the palace on horseback or in carriages, everyone else entering the palace had to have their identity verified at the palace gate.
It will be released only after inspection.
After entering the palace, one still has to walk through a long corridor on foot, which is difficult for anyone with a weak body to bear.
Therefore, although it is an honor to be able to enter the palace and attend palace banquets, it is also hard work.
Xiao Jingyi did not have the privilege of riding in a carriage into the palace, so after arriving at the palace gate, the family of three got off the carriage.
This commotion naturally attracted other people to look over.
Seeing that it was Xiao Jingyi, everyone around bowed and greeted him.
Although everyone felt that Yun Fuling and Xiao Jingmo, who were following Xiao Jingyi, looked unfamiliar, but when they saw Yun Fuling wearing the princess's uniform, they thought of the latest news in the capital.
Some of them were smart and immediately bowed and curtsied, "Greetings to the princess, greetings to the young master!"
Although Yun Fuling doesn't like socializing, it doesn't mean she doesn't know how to do it.
In her previous life, the Yun family she belonged to was also a famous family, so she still had basic social skills.
When others showed kindness to her, Yun Fuling would naturally respond with kindness no matter what they were thinking.
After a few pleasantries, a carriage suddenly stopped beside Yun Fuling and the others. The Fifth Prince jumped off the carriage and greeted Xiao Jingyi and Yun Fuling with a smile, "Seventh brother, Seventh sister-in-law."
The fifth prince is of mediocre intelligence and has no great ambitions. He just wants to live a life of idleness and wait for death. He is an optimist.
Earlier, when Jing ** was seriously ill and unconscious, and the Third Prince forced Xiao Jingyi to guarantee Yun Fuling, only the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince spoke for Xiao Jingyi.
Therefore, Yun Fuling had a good impression of the Fifth Prince.
Moreover, the Fifth Prince's words "Seventh Brother's Sister-in-law" meant that he acknowledged Yun Fuling's identity.
Although Yun Fuling was canonized by Emperor Jing's imperial decree, some people still criticized her privately and were not convinced that she was the Princess Yi.
After all, anyone with eyes can see that Jing** favors Xiao Jingyi, and Xiao Jingyi himself has also worked hard.
No one said anything openly, but secretly everyone guessed that Jing ** was most likely going to make Xiao Jingyi the Emperor of the East Palace.
If Xiao Jingyi was made the crown prince, then his wife would naturally be the crown princess. When the crown prince ascended the throne in the future, the crown princess would naturally be the queen in full legal title.
I wonder how many families are eyeing such an important position and want to push their daughters to it.
Who would have thought that Yun Fuling would take it away.
As a result, there are naturally many people who dislike Yun Fuling.
In this situation, the Fifth Prince's address of "Seventh Brother's Sister" was a precious kindness to Yun Fuling.
Yun Fuling immediately bowed respectfully to the Fifth Prince and his wife, "Fifth Brother, Fifth Sister-in-law!"
The Fifth Prince's wife was a person who had a very gentle smile and had two shallow dimples on her cheeks.
She had heard about Yun Fuling's deeds a long time ago and was very curious about her. Now that she saw the real person, she couldn't help but talk to Yun Fuling.
As soon as they talked, Yun Fuling could tell that the Fifth Prince's wife was a gentle and kind person, and she seemed to have a very good relationship with the Fifth Prince.
Just after chatting about family matters for a while, there was a sudden noise at the palace gate.
Yun Fuling looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yun Gansong, Xiangshi, and Yun Lingzhi's family of three being chased out of the palace entry team in a panic by the guards at the palace gate.
