1163. The Only Highness with a Different Surname (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad

"Since they are of the same bloodline as the imperial family, there is no reason for me to disagree. From now on, second daughter-in-law, you will take over. The matter of the heir is not a trivial matter. Sixth, don't mention changing the heir anymore."

Seeing that, the Grand Princess also opened her mouth. Although she rejected Zeng Shaoqing's proposal, she indirectly threw the big daughter-in-law off her position. Losing the right to manage the household as the big son's wife, she would undoubtedly become a joke in the aristocratic circle. Even if she was an infant or what, it was hard for her to keep a foothold in the aristocratic circle in the future. To put it bluntly, there were so many princesses and infantas in the imperial city.

The big son's wife collapsed onto the ground, staring at the Grand Princess with a blank expression, muttering, how could this happen? How could this happen? It seemed that she still could not accept the fact.

"I will obey the order."

The second daughter-in-law who was named stood up and bowed with respect.

Zeng Shaoqing still had some dissatisfaction, but as he still wanted to say something, Chu Yunhan stopped him.

Unless they wanted this family to fall apart and make the duke and Grand Princess die of anger, as their sons, they could only end here. Zeng Shaoqing was an as*hole, but he was still filial to his parents. However, if so, he had to let his wife and kids swallow it.

Just as he was secretly thinking whether to continue,

"Here comes the imperial edict!"

A thin, high-pitched voice belonging to the eunuch suddenly sounded. Without any announcement, the chief eunuch Zhao An came in with a group of people carrying the imperial edict. When they came closer, they only saw that he was also holding His Majesty's gold token in his other hand. No wonder he was able to come in with no one daring to stop him.

Seeing that, a group of people stood up to look at Duke Zeng and the Grand Princess. The couple looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. His Majesty's information was more well-informed than they had imagined. It was impossible to cover up the matter any longer. Although feeling helpless, the old couple still stood up and led their family to receive the imperial edict.

"Duke Weiyuan, receive the imperial edict!"

"Yes!"

Zhao An's expressionless yell made Duke Weiyuan kneel down with his entire family, and even the devastated big son's wife, who was on the verge of collapse, had to kneel down obediently.

"In the name of His Majesty, the sixth son of Duke Weiyuan Mansion Zeng Shaoqing has rendered meritorious service assisting me over the years. He is hereby appointed as Marquis Zhenguo, and his wife, Chu Yunhan, is appointed as the consort, superior first class crown princess. The eldest son is appointed as the heir apparent, and has the right to inherit the title. In addition, their kids are direct bloodline of the late chief of Wusun tribe, and share the same lineage as me. Therefore, I hereby appoint the second son as Marquis Huai, and the youngest daughter, who owns a pair of red eyes, is the supreme symbol of Wusun tribe. I would like to recognize her as my adoptive younger sister, and appoint her as the first class princess. That's all!"

This series of awards could prove how His Majesty favored them. If Chu Yunhan had any problems in the future, not only the big son's wife, but also the Grand Princess had to kneel down and bow to him. Three children who were disliked by them, one became the heir of Zeng Shaoqing and one was granted a marquis title. The youngest one was even granted a first class princess title! Who would dare belittle them and say something inappropriate in front of them again? They not only would not have to kowtow to those aunts-in-law, but they had to kowtow to them instead, otherwise it would be a great disrespect. They could order to punish them at any time. Little Seven's move was really tricky. It did not disparage anyone, but brought all the ordinary people to a height that others dare not envy. It not only saved the face of the old couple, but also vented his dad's anger for him. After this, those people would hate it every time they bowed to Yunhan and his children. Moreover, this would last for a lifetime.
