The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 135 The imperial edict arrives

Xingyi looked a little embarrassed, not knowing how to respond to his master's words.

Chu Chenfeng didn't pursue the matter any further. Anyway, marriage was impossible for him. Let them do whatever they want. "This Xu Tian is becoming more and more ambitious. If he continues like this, I'm afraid that even the position of prime minister won't satisfy him."

Xingyi didn't dare to respond. If even the position of prime minister couldn't satisfy him, then what did he want to do? Become the emperor?

Seeing that his master hadn't spoken for a long time, Xing Yi timidly asked, "Should our people be transferred back?"

In fact, Chu Chenfeng had already made arrangements as soon as he learned that the relief grain had been robbed.

"It's okay. Let's prepare for both situations. But..." Chu Chenfeng's eyes flashed. It seemed that he had to adjust his plan. If the court was not cleaned up, the Xu family would soon be in trouble.

The next morning, the Li family received the imperial edict, and the content of the edict caught all the powerful people in Kyoto off guard.

"The imperial edict has arrived! Everyone in the Li family, please receive it!" The one who came to announce the eunuch was the chief eunuch during the previous emperor's time, Eunuch Chen.

He was old and had not appeared in the palace often in recent years. However, both the emperor and the regent were very kind to him and allowed him to live in the palace. Unexpectedly, he was dispatched by the imperial decree.

Li Mulan was pulled out of bed by Qingyu. She was still dazed and had not woken up yet when she knelt on the ground.

The first thing that came to her mind was that this evil feudal society actually made her kneel down! Ah...ah...her precious knees! The ground was too hard, it hurt!

Li Mulan did not pay attention to the content of the imperial edict, because she only wanted to get up quickly. She was really not used to kneeling. Even when she had made mistakes before and was punished by her master to kneel in the ancestral hall, there was a thick cushion. Alas!

While she was still daydreaming, the other members of the Li family were already shocked by the imperial edict.

Li Cong was sitting in a wheelchair and didn't react.

He was the only member of the Li family who did not kneel down. Of course, the emperor agreed to this and said that he was considerate of his leg and foot problems and should not kneel.

Li Cong was reinstated, Li Yi was appointed as the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, and Li Yun was appointed as an editor in the Hanlin Academy. Because the Li family submitted the blueprints of special weapons and equipment, they had made contributions to the country. In addition to the rewards, Zhang was awarded the title of a third-rank lady. All the property of the Li family before it was confiscated was returned in full, and the emperor also specially rewarded them with a lot of things to appease them.

Weapons and equipment? What? While everyone was still stunned, Li Mulan had already stood up. Her knees were really painful.

Eunuch Chen was also confused by the girl's behavior and stared at her blankly.

Li Mulan touched her nose and looked at the people who were still kneeling upright around her. "Isn't the reading of the imperial edict over?"

"Ah! Yes, it's over, everyone stand up." Eunuch Chen looked at Li Mulan twice more, but he didn't take it too far and punish her for disrespect. The Li family has made a real comeback, and they may be even more favored in the future, so they can't be offended.

Eunuch Chen handed the imperial edict to Li Cong in a kind manner and said warmly, "Master Li, I haven't seen you for many years. You look much thinner."

Li Cong took the imperial edict and said with a smile, "I am ashamed to have let Eunuch Chen laugh at me."

"Haha, as the saying goes, those who survive a disaster will have good fortune in the future. Your good fortune still lasts."

"Then I'll take your good words, father-in-law."

Eunuch Chen nodded, looked at the other members of the Li family, and finally fixed his sight on Li Xun. Among the four Li family members, only this one did not have any official title or reward, but he seemed to be unaffected at all. With such a character, it was no wonder that he was favored by the Regent.

Eunuch Chen bowed to Li Xun and said, "This must be Mr. Li, right?"

Li Xun bowed slightly, "Meet Eunuch Chen."

Eunuch Chen looked kind, "When I came to announce the decree, the Regent asked me to tell you that he was waiting for you in the palace. The commander-in-chief is already waiting outside, so don't waste time and go quickly, lest the prince waits too long."

Li Xun's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face. "Thank you, eunuch, for the message."

Li Xun looked at his father. Li Cong just nodded and didn't have anything to say. Li Xun left directly.

After everyone left, Li Huan asked anxiously, "Brother, what weapon? When did our Li family have any weapons? And Xun'er..."

Li Cong shook his head and laughed, "I don't know either."

Then he looked at Li Mulan who was rubbing her knees. She frowned and seemed to be dissatisfied with something. "Lan'er?"

Li Mulan raised her head and looked at Li Cong with a puzzled look, then she stopped rubbing her knees and took a few steps forward, "Grandfather, you called me?"

"Hehe, is there something you haven't told your grandfather?"

Li Mulan hadn't noticed them just now, and didn't know what her grandfather meant. "What?"

"Weapons and equipment, damn it, don't tell me you don't know about this."

Li Mulan finally understood and looked at her mother a little embarrassedly, "Oh, what do I think? I gave the blueprint to the regent, and it will be very useful to him, so just give me this imperial decree."

Zhang was a little bit incredulous. She was still confused. She stepped forward and held her daughter's hand, "Why didn't you tell me? How could such a good opportunity and such a great achievement be given to me?"

"I wasn't sure before, and I only decided last night. Besides, if this credit goes to our Li Mansion, my grandfather won't be promoted, and the other uncles have just returned to Kyoto, so they can't be too conspicuous. Even if the emperor intends to reward us, at most he will give us some gold and silver. It's a loss, so it's better to earn a royal decree for mother. This way, mother won't have to be afraid of that old witch in the Minister of Rites' Mansion in the future, hehehe."

Zhang's eyes were red. "You said you...you said you, girl."

Li Yi stepped forward to comfort her, "Okay, isn't this a good thing? Lan'er loves you."

Li Yi was actually worried about this. In the past, in Kyoto, even with his mother's protection, his wife was often bullied by her family. Even the scar on Lan'er's face was caused in the Minister of Rites' Mansion.

Li Xi also comforted her mother, "Mom, this is what your sister earned for you, shouldn't you be happy? Why are you crying?"

"Happy," Zhang wiped her eyes quickly, "Mother is happy."

Li Cong exchanged glances with his brothers and said, "Let's leave it at that for today. I guess someone will deliver our belongings later, and some are still sorting them out. Let's all go back first." Then he looked at Li Mulan and said, "Lan'er, push Grandfather back to the yard."

It was obvious that Li Cong had something to talk to his granddaughter alone. No one asked any more questions and everyone went back to their own courtyards.

Zhang was a little worried. She wondered if her father-in-law would be dissatisfied with Lan'er for giving her the credit for the imperial decree. She looked at her husband with some concern.

Li Yi understood his wife's worries at a glance, and patted her shoulder with a smile, "Don't worry, Dad won't think too much, and won't blame Lan'er."
