Chapter 131 Imperial Edict
Chen Hehua's eyes lit up.

In other words, she can have both horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts?
Great, great!
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Hehua hurriedly thanked Emperor Xuanhe.

However, Chen Hehua was rather naive; she might not have fully grasped the value of the sweet potato, but Emperor Xuanhe did.

So he can't cheat this young girl.

Everyone who has done this great thing deserves to be rewarded.

Therefore, Emperor Xuanhe told Chen Hehua to go back first. As for what rewards he would give her, he would have to think about it carefully.

First, grant Chen Hehua the title of County Princess and bestow upon her a mansion. The sweet potatoes she presented have benefited the nation and future generations; she absolutely deserves this title.

Secondly, grant her family another 50 mu of fertile land; for farmers, fertile land is always the most important thing.

By the way, I heard that Chen Hehua has a younger brother. He saw the little guy last time.

When Chen Hehua was about to be taken away as a concubine, the child cried and clung to Chen Hehua's waist, refusing to let go.

It's clear that she's protective of her older sister.

She looks to be about 10 years old.

I heard the little guy is quite smart.

Emperor Xuanhe felt that a place for studying at Bailu Academy could be granted.

Bailu Academy is the most famous academy in the capital.

Getting in won't be easy.

Of course, the teaching staff there is also very good.

Of course, it is also necessary to bestow some gold and silver jewelry as a reward.

Emperor Xuanhe thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so he began to draft an imperial edict.
-
Chenjia Village at this time.

After Chen Hehua entered the palace, the Chen family lost all interest in doing anything else, and all were thinking about how Chen Hehua was doing in the palace.

After all, they are just ordinary people.

He never entered the palace in his entire life, nor did he ever meet any important figures.

I'm afraid that if Lotus enters the palace, she might break some taboo, which would be terrible.

Morning passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already afternoon.

Chen Hehua has not returned yet, and there has been no news of her.

This made the Chen family even more worried.

"If I had known, I should have gone to the palace with Lotus," said Old Man Chen.

That way, if anything happens, he, as the father, can take responsibility.

Just then, a cheerful, childlike voice rang out, "Sister is back! Sister is back!"

Are you back?!

The Chen family members immediately stood up and all walked outside.

Not only the Chen family, but also other villagers gathered around.

Chen Hehua has indeed returned.

When I arrived, the lotus flowers had been taken away by the hibiscus.

And now, Liu De has brought him back.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Chen Hehua immediately lifted the curtain and got out, running towards her family.

"elder sister."

"Hey." Chen Hehua hugged her brother first and ran towards him.

He patted his head and then walked towards his parents.

"Hehua, how are you?" Old Man Chen asked, relieved to see that she was alright.

"Father, the sweet potatoes I presented were very popular with the Emperor and the Princess. They even steamed them and thought they were delicious."

"And the Emperor said that I have done a great service this time!" Chen Hehua said excitedly.

"Really? That's wonderful. I'm glad the distinguished guests like it."

"Father, Mother, come and see quickly!"

Chen Hehua led her parents to the brand-new horse-drawn carriage and oxcart at the back, saying, "These are the horse-drawn carriage and oxcart bestowed upon me by the Emperor."

"What?! It's a reward for you?!" everyone present exclaimed. "My goodness, they actually rewarded you with a horse-drawn carriage and an oxcart!"

I knew that in a village like this, having even one cow was already a big deal.

Now, Chen Hehua went to the palace, presented the sweet potato, and received a horse-drawn carriage and an oxcart in return.

"It was the Emperor who asked me what reward I wanted. I said from the beginning that I wanted a horse-drawn carriage, or an oxcart if I didn't have one. I didn't expect the Emperor to give me both a horse-drawn carriage and an oxcart."

"Oh dear, how could you ask the Emperor for something?"

"But the Emperor is really good."

“Yes, I also think that the Emperor and the Princess are really, really good.” Chen Hehua chimed in.

Princess Fuqing was very kind; she even invited her to stay for dinner.

To be honest, this was the first time in Chen Hehua's life that she had eaten so much delicious food.

Seeing that she enjoyed the food, the princess had the cook prepare a lot of fresh dishes for her to bring, which are now kept in the food box in the carriage.

She planned to take the food out of the lunchbox and give it to her family later.

My family members have definitely never eaten this before, and they'll definitely think it's delicious.

Just as the Chen family was happily gathered around the horse-drawn carriage and oxcart, Liu De stepped forward.

"Chen Hehua, a member of the Chen family, receive the imperial decree."

Accept the purpose?

His Majesty even issued an imperial edict?!

This situation completely stunned the Chen family and Chen Hehua.

Why is there an imperial edict?

So surprised were they that the whole family froze in place.

Liu De did not blame them.

He understood the Chen family members; they were just like Chen Hehua—too simple and naive.

Having spent decades in the palace, Liu De had witnessed countless intrigues and betrayals. Now, seeing such simple and pure people for the first time, he found it quite rare and rather endearing.

So he reminded her, "Miss Lotus, quickly bring your family down to kneel and receive the imperial decree."

"Oh, alright."

Chen Hehua realized what was happening and quickly led her family to kneel down to receive the imperial decree.

Liu De then unfolded the imperial edict and began to read it aloud.

The imperial edict contained what Emperor Xuanhe had previously considered in his study as gifts for Chen Hehua and her family.

Meanwhile, Chen Hehua was stunned, and so was her family.

Chen Hehua asked instinctively, "Is Your Majesty making a mistake with this imperial edict?"

Didn't His Majesty already bestow upon her a carriage and an oxcart?
Why were other things bestowed as rewards?

To bestow upon her the title of County Princess?
What is a county princess?
Chen Hehua didn't know, but she knew it must be an important official.

Another good thing is that she can get her younger brother into Bailu Academy. He is talented in studying and also very smart.

They even rewarded her with gold and silver jewelry?

This, this?
Chen Hehua was stunned, especially when she saw the two boxes of gold and silver jewelry that were brought up.

Chen Hehua's family also felt that the imperial edict might have been issued incorrectly.

When Liu De heard Chen Hehua ask this question, he laughed and said, "Miss Hehua, you are right. The sweet potatoes you presented are a new and improved variety that can save the people of Daqing. His Majesty also likes you, so it is only right that he has bestowed these upon you."

Chen Hehua and her family members' eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"The Emperor is such a kind person."

"Yes, we must thank His Majesty the Emperor properly."

"Miss Lotus, quickly receive the imperial decree," Liu De reminded her.

"Chen Hehua, a commoner, receives the imperial decree."

After receiving the imperial decree, Chen Hehua asked what a county princess was.

When she learned that the county lord was the ruler of a county, had a fiefdom, and received a fixed annual salary, and that she would no longer be a commoner, Chen Hehua was so moved that she cried.
