Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1201 Majestic Lady
The crown and tassels inherit the dragon robe, and the flags and pennants inherit the thousands of palaces.

Except for Jiang Wei and Liang Youying, most of the people who followed Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi into the Taiji Hall were not entering the palace to meet the emperor for the first time. These two were not timid people either and had seen the world.

But the moment they stepped into the Tai Chi Hall, everyone's breathing became heavy.

In a trance, they saw civil and military officials standing in two rows in this magnificent hall, their robes neat and their expressions stern. Although the huge palace was full of people, there was not a single cough or gasp. At this moment, everyone could almost hear their own heartbeats, rumbling like thunder, making them even more nervous.

But Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi, who were walking in the front, looked calm.

Not only because they have been here countless times, but also because they brought these people back today. As their protectors, the two must remain calm.

When they reached the center of the hall, the two men stopped and looked up, only to see the familiar figure above the hall quietly looking down at them. Although no sound was made, at this moment, this silence exuded an indescribable majesty, as if there was an invisible palace outside the Tai Chi Hall that weighed on everyone's hearts. Even Shang Ruyi, who had already fought on the battlefield, couldn't help but take a deep breath at this moment.

The two men bowed at the same time, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father. Long live the Emperor."

The people following closely behind them also knelt down and shouted "Long live the people".

When they finished speaking, the person sitting on the dragon throne did not move. The entire hall was still quiet, even quieter than before. This time, they could even hear the heartbeats of the people standing next to them.

For a moment, everyone held their breath.

Just when everyone was getting nervous, there was a rustling sound of sleeves waving above the hall. The emperor raised his hand gently, and the eunuch Yu who was serving beside him immediately took up the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago and unfolded it. He walked to the front of the hall and said loudly: "Imperial edict!"

Everyone in the Tai Chi Hall knelt down at once.

Eunuch Yu said: "The Emperor of Heaven and Mandate of Heaven has issued an edict, which says: I have received the mandate of heaven and rule over all nations. All people in the world are my subjects. I love and care for them like heaven and father. However, there are unrests on the borders from time to time, the Turks invade and harass, and the people are living in misery, which makes me restless all night.

Here is the King of Qin, Ye, and his wife, Shang. They sent troops to two places, but the couple worked together to save Xiazhou and win the battle at Hulao. They have made outstanding contributions, unparalleled loyalty and bravery, and have shocked the three armies. Their name has spread far and wide. They are specially granted a fief of 10,000 households, 3,000 gold, 50,000 silver, 100 large pearls, 500 small pearls, and 300 bolts of silk.

The Princess of Qin was also given a title - Madam Majestic, and the soldiers and horses she led were all called the Madam Army to honor her military achievements!
Admire this! "

Upon hearing this imperial edict, all the civil and military officials in the hall widened their eyes in shock.

Although Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi did not know, everyone in the hall understood that just over a month ago, the commander-in-chief of the Henan Road, Prince of Qi Yuwen Cheng, led his troops back to the court. Although there was a big celebration of his enthronement, the reward was not much. Apart from ordering him to set up a government office, the reward in silver and money was not even half of this time.

And this reward, which was more than double, was obviously not given to the King of Qin alone.

Especially the last sentence of the imperial edict makes it very clear who the person is that the emperor personally bestows a title on a woman, and it is such a prestigious title, which shows how much importance Yuwen Yuan attaches to her.

And the four words "majestic lady" also fell heavily on Liang Youying and Shi Yuxin who were following behind them.

The two people looked at each other subconsciously, both showing expressions of surprise.

Shang Ruyi was overjoyed. She knelt down immediately without even waiting for Yuwen Ye to react with her, and said loudly: "Thank you, father, for your grace!"

Yuwen Ye glanced at her and also knelt down to express his gratitude.

It was not until this time that Yu Wenyuan's deep, deep, but obviously smiling voice was heard from above the hall: "Stand up." Everyone then said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall stood up at the same time. Shang Ruyi stood still and when she looked up, she met Yuwen Yuan's smiling eyes. He was sitting upright on the dragon throne, with his hands firmly supporting both sides, making him look even more sturdy and strong. The crown and dragon robe also made him look more majestic and solemn, making people dare not look at him directly. But at this moment, the pair of eyes revealed from behind the slightly swaying jade tassels were obviously looking at her with appreciation and even a happy smile.

He said, "My wonderful son and wife really lived up to my expectations. Ruyi, you did a great job."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "Everything is thanks to the grace of my father. How dare I take credit for it?"

The smile on Yuwen Yuan's face deepened, making him look less like an emperor sitting on the dragon throne, and more like an elder's kindness: "I asked you to lead the army to relieve the crisis in Xiazhou, but many people in the court questioned my decision, saying that women cannot lead the army?" After that, he raised his head and looked at everyone, smiling and asked: "Now, do you all understand?"

"..."

Some ministers in the hall looked at each other in silence.

Yuwen Yuan smiled and said, "This is the daughter of the general of the cavalry, and also the majestic lady of my Yuwen family! Let the world have a good look at her!"

Hearing his proud words, the civil and military officials all stood up and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise and decisive, and the Princess Qin is brave!"

Yuwen Yuan let out a hearty laugh.

Amidst the laughter, Shang Ruyi clearly felt a gloomy gaze looking at him in the hall.

She didn't turn her head, but she knew from the person sitting in the front row that it must be Crown Prince Yuwen Qian.

She thought for a moment, raised her head and said, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to accept your praise. This time, we were able to save Xiazhou from danger, first because of the current situation, second because of the harmony of the people, and with Your Majesty's grace, we were able to win a big victory with a small battle. However, the battle at Hulao Pass was extremely dangerous, and three thousand cavalrymen were able to resist an army of one hundred thousand, which was truly an unprecedented victory for our dynasty."

She subtly turned the topic to Yuwen Ye.

Although it was a good thing for her to gain the emperor's approval, she did not forget that she was still the Princess of Qin after all, and the greatest achievement of this battle should go to Yuwen Ye. However, judging from the imperial edict just now, Yuwen Yuan mentioned Xiazhou and Hulao Pass, but missed the most important Luoyang.

Considering that Yuwen Cheng has been appointed as the General Zhenbei, I'm afraid the emperor has already attributed the greatest credit to him.

Shang Ruyi continued, "If it weren't for the great victory at Hulao Pass, how could Luoyang have returned?"

Hearing her words, Yu Wenyuan was silent for a moment.

The jade tassel hanging in front of him blocked most of the expression on his face, but if you looked carefully, you could still see the swaying jade tassel, and Yu Wenyuan's smiling eyes gradually faded away the joy.

At this moment, he changed from a kind elder to a majestic emperor.

He said: "King Qin."

Yuwen Ye immediately stepped forward and said, "Your son is here."
