The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

Chu Wanqing was startled and quickly corrected him, "Jin'er, you should thank His Majesty!"

Yun Jin said "Oh," quickly kowtowed, and loudly proclaimed, "Yun Jin thanks Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

She agreed verbally, but in her heart she was thinking, "Being a county princess isn't easy. Will I have to kneel down all the time? I guess I'll have to ask Qiuyi to make it easier for me to kneel."

After thanking her, she asked Chu Wanqing again, "Mother, is this the right thing to do?"

Startled, Yun Heting quickly explained to Fu Lai with an embarrassed smile, "Father-in-law, my daughter is ignorant of etiquette, please forgive her."

Although Chu Wanqing didn't know why Yun Jin was acting so recklessly, she still smiled and explained, "Eunuch Fu, it's all my fault. I pitied her pitiful background and couldn't bear to bind her with rules. I really didn't teach her these rules."

Fu Lai smiled and waved his hand, handing the imperial edict to Yun Jin: "It's alright, Princess Ninghai is a woman of true character, and I think it's quite good this way."

Yun Jin looked like she had done something wrong, stuck out her tongue, stood up and bowed to Fu Lai: "Thank you, Father-in-law, for not blaming Jin'er."

Yun Heting was so frightened that he tried to pull her up, but she hadn't even received the imperial decree yet, so why did she stand up?

But Yun Jin had already received the imperial edict with both hands and held it in her arms. Suddenly, she tilted her head and looked at Fu Lai: "Eunuch, may I ask you something?"

Fu Lai was taken aback, then looked at the kneeling crowd and said, "Get up, everyone."

Then he turned to Yun Jin, smiling as he asked, "Please speak, Princess."

Yun Heting quickly whispered, "Jin'er, don't be silly."

Fu Lai waved his hand: "It's alright, Princess, please speak freely."

Yun Jin blinked, feigning ignorance, and asked, "Father-in-law, I would like to ask if His Majesty could grant a residence for a county princess?"

Fu Lai was slightly taken aback, somewhat puzzled: "What does the County Princess mean by this? You are not yet married, and according to custom, it is not appropriate for you to leave the residence alone. Does the County Princess not wish to live here?"

Yun Jin shook her head, pouting slightly in grievance: "No, I want to live with my mother. She's very good to me. But just now... just now, Old Madam Yun announced that she would remove me from the Yun family genealogy. So, naturally, I can no longer shamelessly live in the Yun mansion. If Your Majesty could grant me a residence, I would have a place to stay."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Yun's knees buckled, and she almost knelt down. Yun Xiu quickly supported her and whispered, "Grandmother!"

Fu Lai raised an eyebrow. Was this little girl here to tattle?

He suppressed a laugh, his eyes darting between Old Madam Yun and Yun Heting, before asking, "Is that so? I'll go back and ask the county magistrate if we can get her a house."

Yun Heting quickly explained with a smile, "Father-in-law, this is all a misunderstanding. Now that my Yun family has recognized Jin'er and included her in the family genealogy, we will naturally treat her as our Yun family's legitimate daughter."

Grandma Yun then realized what was happening and quickly explained, "Yes, yes, Father-in-law, it's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Jin'er misunderstood. How could I remove her from the family register? She is a daughter of the Yun family, listed in the family genealogy. That's an indisputable fact!"

She forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, turned to look at Yun Jin, and pleaded in her voice, "Jin'er, quickly explain to your father-in-law, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Fu Lai ignored the two of them and instead looked at Yun Jin: "Princess, is it a misunderstanding?"

Grandma Yun nodded repeatedly, before Yun Jin could finish, "It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

Yun Jin blinked, feigning innocence, and said, "But just now in the flower hall, the old lady clearly said that I was uncouth and unworthy of being a member of the Yun family. Although I grew up in the countryside and didn't receive much education, I can still understand those words."

Fu Lai's face immediately darkened. He looked at Old Madam Yun, raised his hand, and bowed towards the palace: "Old Madam Yun, the Princess of Ninghai was personally appointed by His Majesty. Are you expressing dissatisfaction with His Majesty with these words?"

Grandma Yun was so frightened that her voice trembled: "No, no! Jin'er misheard! I was talking about... talking about someone else! Jin'er is a good child, I love her dearly, how could I say such a thing!"

At this moment, she had lost all the imposing aura she had displayed in the flower hall just moments before.

Yun Jin tilted her head and looked at her for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed "Oh!" as if she had just realized something: "So Jin'er must have misheard."

She then turned to Fu Lai, forcing a wide smile: "Since the old lady doesn't mean it that way, then there's no need to trouble you, Father-in-law. I'll continue to stay at your residence; I also wish to stay by my mother's side."

Fu Lai looked at her innocent-looking smiling face, and the corner of his mouth twitched imperceptibly.

I don't know if this little girl is genuinely naive or just pretending.

He coughed lightly and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, I won't mention it to His Majesty when I return to the palace to report."

Grandma Yun felt as if she had been granted a pardon and dared not look at Fu Lai again.

Yunheting also recovered from his shock.

He gave Yun Jin a deep look, put on a smiling face, and cupped his hands to Fu Lai, saying, "Eunuch Fu, today is a day of double joy for your household. Why don't you stay for a drink, so that I may do my part to express my gratitude?"

Just as Fu Lai was about to refuse, a clear male voice suddenly came from the doorway: "Lord Yun, I happened to be passing by and heard the lively atmosphere at your residence, so I came in to take a look."

Having said that, she glanced at Fu Lai and feigned surprise, saying, "Eunuch Fu is here too?"

Fu Lai bowed to him and said, "Your Highness, I am here to deliver the imperial decree from His Majesty."

Yun Jin glanced at him discreetly: "Keep pretending, let's see how long you can keep it up?"

Yun Heting realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward, bowing respectfully: "I was unaware of Your Highness's arrival at my humble abode. I apologize for not greeting you properly!"

Xiao Jingyan said calmly, "Lord Yun, there's no need for such formalities. I'm glad you didn't mind that I didn't come in person."

After speaking, without waiting for Yun Heting's reply, he turned to Fu Lai and asked curiously, "I wonder what imperial decree you have come here to announce?"

Fu Lai twitched the corners of his mouth. You went to the palace to summon me to deliver the imperial decree, but you knew the answer already. However, he could only suppress his smile and answer seriously: "Your Highness, because Miss Yun Jin, the second young lady of the Yun family, has presented a good prescription for treating the cold epidemic in the northern border, His Majesty has specially conferred upon Miss Yun the title of Princess of Ninghai County."

Xiao Jingyan exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected that the best remedy for the cold plague in the North was actually presented by Miss Yun?"

He turned to Yun Jin and bowed respectfully: "On behalf of the people of the Northern Border, I thank Miss Yun, no, I thank Princess Ninghai! Thank you for saving the people of the Northern Border!"
