Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

Even Mrs. Zhen herself couldn't believe it was real, staring blankly at the bright yellow scroll.

The old lady stared at her, dumbfounded, wondering if she had misheard.

The slut she was cursing in her heart just moments ago has become a first-rank imperial consort in the blink of an eye!

She lived to such an old age before finally earning herself a third-rank imperial title.

Wouldn't I have to kowtow to her to offer my congratulations, and sit below her in all kinds of formal occasions?

The old lady's face turned from green to white, then from white to green again; she was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder!

"Madam Zhen, why haven't you received the imperial decree yet?"

The father-in-law bent slightly, smiling broadly, and said, "Congratulations, Madam! You are truly blessed by Heaven; you have now risen to a high position!"

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your great kindness!"

Lady Zhen hurriedly kowtowed, raising her hands, which trembled slightly with nervousness, to receive the imperial edict. She still looked incredulous. "Father-in-law, why would His Majesty suddenly bestow such an honor upon me…?"

The father-in-law laughed and said, "It's all thanks to the good daughter that Madam raised her. You are very fortunate to have this child!"

Miss Liuli solved a major case for the Dali Temple, and the Emperor was overjoyed. He said he wanted to reward her with anything, but she refused.

It was your son-in-law, the heir apparent, who personally pleaded for His Majesty's favor for you!

Zhen felt no elation, only guilt and heartache.

For the past twelve years, she has never made a single piece of clothing for her daughter, nor fed her a single meal. When her daughter has a headache or fever, her mother cannot be by her side to take care of her.

She owed her daughter so much, but when her daughter came back, she sheltered her under her tender wings and even won her this unique honor!

Zhen, suppressing a sob in her throat, gently scolded him.

"You child, His Majesty is so kind, why don't you ask for something of your own, instead of asking for this on behalf of your mother..."

"As long as you're safe and sound, I'll be content!"

Yin Liuli gave her a charming smile.

"If Mother is well, then Liuli is well."

Outside the gate, the crowd watching the imperial edict erupted into a frenzy.

"What an honor this lady has been granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady!"

"She's the mother of the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Yin's mansion? No wonder the Emperor bestowed upon her the title of First-Rank Lady!"

"Miss Yin saved our common people's child; that's an immense act of merit!"

"Yes, if it weren't for Miss Yin destroying the evil cultivators' lair, who knows how many more children would have been captured and used for alchemy..."

……

The ladies of the Yin family had a variety of expressions on their faces.

The Zhen family, who had been looked down upon for over a decade, suddenly became a first-rank imperial consort!

It was not uncommon for wives of officials outside the capital to be granted the title of Lady of Imperial Decree by the emperor based on the official ranks of their husbands and sons in the court, although most of them were granted the rank of third grade or below.

Second-rank imperial consorts were few and far between, and first-rank consorts were even rarer.

Throughout the entire court, only the wives of the prime minister and the chief minister of the cabinet had ever received the title of first-rank imperial consort.

From now on, even the old lady in the mansion will have to treat her with utmost respect!

It seems that the Yin Marquis's mansion is about to undergo a major upheaval.

Before everyone could finish their astonishment, the eunuch took another imperial edict from the eunuch, cleared his throat, and said...

"Don't just stand there, everyone! His Majesty has issued a second decree... Yin Liuli accepts the decree."

By imperial decree: Yin Liuli of the Yin Marquis's Mansion is exceptionally intelligent, loyal, and courageous. He assisted the Dali Temple in solving the case of the sorcerer, saving the people from suffering and bringing peace to the nation. I greatly appreciate his merits.

The imperial edict appoints Yin Liuli as Assistant Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and Inspector of the Court of Judicial Review, and bestows upon him a set of official robes. This is the imperial decree!

As soon as he finished speaking, the onlookers erupted in uproar.

Suddenly someone clapped, and in an instant, thunderous applause resounded through the sky.

"Miss Yin is going to serve as an official at the Dali Temple to investigate cases for us common people!"

"This is the first time our Great Chang has had a woman in an official position. His Majesty's exceptional promotion of Miss Yin to an official post will bring benefits to the people. His Majesty is truly wise!"

……

"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"

With someone taking the lead, the people all raised their fists, clenched their arms, and shouted, creating a deafening roar!

The people in the Yin Marquis's mansion looked at each other in bewilderment.

Just as a bolt of lightning rolled overhead, a second bolt struck, even more devastating than the first!

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was a second-rank official in the imperial court, and his assistant, who was also an inspector, was a fourth-rank official.

If she achieves further success in the future, she might be able to stand on equal footing with her father, Yin Jingtang!

Such an honor would be fine if it were bestowed upon a man, but the Emperor actually granted it to Yin Liuli!

Since the founding of the Great Chang Dynasty, there has never been a case of a young lady from a prominent family serving as an official in the imperial court!

"Your subject, Yin Liuli, receives the imperial decree."

Yin Liuli kowtowed and calmly accepted the imperial edict.

Before Lady Zhen could recover from the honors she had received, she was completely stunned when she heard that the Emperor had appointed Yin Liuli to an official position.

The Dali Temple is a place that specializes in investigating all kinds of cold cases, mysterious cases, and major cases. Investigating cases inevitably involves danger, which made her unspeakably worried.

Knowing her mother was worried, Yin Liuli said it lightly.

"Mother, don't worry, I won't have any trouble under Lord Zhou Qinggong."

Madam Zhen stared at her blankly, her expression a mixture of joy and worry.

……

Upon returning home, the old lady, thinking about how she would be trampled on by Madam Zhen in the future, flew into a rage.

Everyone in the Yin Marquis's mansion returned to their rooms, each with their own thoughts, and the atmosphere throughout the mansion was heavy.

Only the phoenix perches on the parasol tree, a scene of joyous celebration.

Granny Jin, along with all the servants in the courtyard, knelt down and kowtowed to Madam Zhen to offer their congratulations.

"Congratulations, Madam! After so many years of hardship, you have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel! I am so happy for you!"

As she spoke, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She was the child she had watched grow up, and her heart was sweeter than honey at his success.

Madam Zhen hurriedly helped Granny Jin up, "Granny, get up quickly, everyone get up, let's all go and receive our rewards."

Looking at the dignified and luxurious imperial robes made according to regulations on the table, she still felt like she was dreaming.

Yin Mei and the other three also came over to kowtow, overjoyed, and said...

"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Miss!"

"With your abilities, Miss, you are sure to achieve great things and win numerous honors in the future!"

"We are truly happy for our young lady..."

……

"Four sisters, get up quickly."

Yin Liuli helped Yin Mei up and looked at them sincerely, "I am weak and alone after all, and I will have to rely on the help of my four older sisters in the future."

A glint of light appeared in the eyes of the four of them.

They grew up in harsh environments, rarely smiled, and never experienced what it felt like to be respected.

Only after following Yin Liuli did she gradually detach herself from the role of a tool and start to feel like a person.

"You cannot go to the Dali Temple!"

Yin Jingtang's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

He looked travel-worn and rushed, his face was frighteningly gloomy, and he harbored an unnamed rage in his heart.

He glared at Yin Liuli's face as soon as he entered the door and shouted urgently,

"Liuli, your father is talking to you! You can't go to the Dali Temple!"
