Chapter 29 The Title of the State
What Gonggong Xiao admires most about Ah Feng is that he is not three points lower than anyone in a year or two, but has been like this since he entered the palace.
And Ah Feng can eat a full meal in the palace, which can be said to have a lot of care from Gonggong Xiao: in the palace, a place without any human touch and no humanity, Gonggong Xiao is one of the few warmths.
Gonggong Xiao has always been very courteous in front of Ah Feng.
Today, Ah Feng has to be crowned a princess, and he greets Ah Feng in front of him, exactly the same as when he sees Ah Feng on weekdays, and it is exactly the same as when he sees other princesses.
So Ah Feng is sure that his father-in-law Xiao is not burning the cold stove: in exchange for her benefits when Ah Feng flies in the future.
Jiang Ming smiled at Gonggong Xiao.
His favorite is the person who will give charcoal in the snow, but the person he hates the most is not the icing on the cake.
The icing on the cake is not bad, as long as he has not done anything to fall into the well, he can also greet him with a smile.
What he hates the most is that you need charcoal the most in the heavy snow, but he just cares a hundred times more and tells you: It's too cold to buy some charcoal, otherwise it will freeze.
If there is money, do you need to be told to buy charcoal--this kind of person is the most annoying.
Gonggong Xiao was really flattered to see Jiang Ming's smiling face, and lowered his waist again and again, showing his respect for Jiang Ming.
Peony had already opened the holy decree and said: "Your Highness, the title is Ningguo." ”
She closed the holy decree a little strangely and casually threw it on the table on the side: "Princess Ningguo, Princess Ningguo, it's not unpleasant, it's just why this title is so weird." ”
Father-in-law Xiao coughed, coughing out of breath, coughing he bent over and touched his feet with his head!
Jiang Ming hurriedly asked Peony to help Father-in-law Xiao, and at the same time looked at Peony and said: "The title is not given casually, Ning Guo, these two words are really very, very ......."
He looked at Ah Feng and tried to find the right word to describe it.
Gonggong Xiao waved his hand and didn't let Peony help him, and he didn't forget to thank Peony, and then said: "This dynasty is the princess who was named the country when Taizu and Taizong Dynasty were crowned. ”
When he said this, he looked at Ah Feng: "The old slave is in good health, but he just choked on drinking water, and it is really the old slave's sin to disturb His Highness." ”
Ah Feng waved his hand: "Father-in-law Xiao, you just have nothing to do." After speaking, she glared at Peony, knowing that it was Peony's words that made Grandpa Xiao choke on the water.
It is said that Grandpa Xiao is a person who has seen wind and waves all his life, and there is nothing strange about Peony's words, it is really a bit unclear to make Grandpa Xiao lose his temper.
Gonggong Xiao saw what Ah Feng meant at a glance: "Your Highness, the old slave didn't know your title in advance, but the emperor ordered it to be handed over directly to you." ”
"I just listened to Peony's words and only then did I know His Royal Highness's title, which is extremely noble." He looked at the holy decree on the table: "The princesses who take the country as their title all have fiefs. ”
"Although it is said that you can't claim to be a prince like the previous dynasty, and you can't pass it on to future generations, that place is really owned by the princess. The money and food belong to the princess, and the officials must be approved by the princess before they can take office. ”
"Later, because of some things, my dynasty has never been crowned a princess with the title of the country. Your Royal Highness, you are the first princess to take the title of the country after Taizu Taizong, and you are extremely honored. ”
Ah Feng blinked when he heard this: "Can I go there to open a mansion and build a tooth?" ”
Gonggong Xiao was slightly stunned and said: "Because of some things, I will no longer be the princess of the country, and now although the emperor has made His Royal Highness the princess of Ningguo, it depends on the emperor's will to do so." ”
"But, just by virtue of the title, His Highness is already extremely honorable."
Peony wiped the corners of her mouth after listening, Jiang Ming suspected that she might have drooled just now: "Father-in-law, you have been talking for a long time, but it turns out that there is no actual benefit." ”
Ah Feng nodded thoughtfully, only giving the title of a princess of Ningguo, the father is really too stingy: no matter what, you have to give ten thousand taels of silver, right?
If she doesn't compensate for the suffering she has suffered in the past thirteen years, he really has to be a cold-hearted emperor, where is the father.
"Okay, we finally got the title of princess, didn't we?" She comforted Peony and smiled at Father-in-law Xiao: "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”
After speaking, she glanced at Peony, but Peony pretended not to see it: If it weren't for Gonggong Xiao's coming, Ah Feng wouldn't have planned to give a silver reward.
Jiang Ming sighed greatly in his heart when he heard this, and he couldn't help but call Peony to come and whisper: "That holy decree is worth a lot of silver." ”
"What? Does this also have people buying? "Peony is not easy to deceive.
Jiang Ming nodded vigorously: "Of course." Even if you can't sell it now, you can still pass it on to your children and grandchildren in the future. ”
Peony hurriedly put away the holy decree, carefully put it away, and then transferred it to the back room: it must be put in a proper place.
Gonggong Xiao saw that Ah Feng's interest was not high, so he changed the topic: "Your Highness, the old slave has something I want to ask Your Highness." ”
"Don't dare to embarrass His Highness, you listen to the old slave first, and you will nod your head, if you don't succeed, then the old slave is not sensible, and you should really ask Your Highness for punishment."
Ah Feng knew that Gonggong Xiao had never been able to speak loudly, so he said, "Let's listen to it." ”
Gonggong Xiao called Xiao Chenzi: "Your Highness, although the old slave is old, his body and bones are okay, I wonder if I can get His Highness's permission and serve His Highness for a few years?" ”
He pointed to Xiao Chenzi again: "Although this little thing is a little clumsy, fortunately, it has no bad intentions, the old slave thinks that if His Royal Highness can allow the old slave to serve in front of and behind him, then he can also give Xiao Chenzi a bite to eat." ”
Jiang Ming took away the tea that came to his lips and looked up and down at Gonggong Xiao: he originally thought that Gonggong Xiao was in some difficulty, and wanted to ask Ah Feng, the new princess of Ningguo, to support him.
But I didn't expect that it was Gonggong Xiao who took refuge with the little apprentice: it was a bit inappropriate to say that it was a little apprentice, according to the habits of the eunuchs, that Xiao Chenzi was Gonggong Xiao's godson.
Ah Feng was also stunned, then glanced at Xiao Chenzi who was smiling and bowing, and said, "Gonggong Xiao, I don't understand." ”
Father-in-law Xiao was not in the palace to serve the nobles more than ten years ago, that is, when Ah Feng was not born: he received errands, but he was no longer on an errand in any palace.
According to Grandpa Xiao's good popularity in the palace, many nobles in the palace want to get Grandpa Xiao's help, but Grandpa Xiao has avoided it all these years.
At this time, Father-in-law Xiao wants to follow himself: What can he give him?
Gonggong Xiao's smiling face remained unchanged, and he pressed his waist and said: "The old slave is old, just thinking that His Royal Highness is benevolent, or he may be able to give the old slave a day." ”
Ah Feng shook his head: "No. Don't talk about Xiao Chenzi, I know that he is doing well in the palace, and several new nobles are interested in asking him to serve him. ”
In the palace, with her, the princess of Ningguo, will never have a better future than with the new nobles.
Even if she has to be the princess of Ningguo, she is not favored by the emperor. In the palace, all the joys, sorrows, wealth and glory are all related to the emperor.
What she can give to Gonggong Xiao's master and apprentice, other nobles can give it; But what other nobles can give, she Afeng can't give.
Gonggong Xiao is a smart person, and it stands to reason that he will not come to her Anfeng Pavilion at this time.
