Chapter 1783: Manor BestowedEditor: Henyee Translations
Fortunately, the government office was not far from the Shao Mansion. The carriage finally stopped at the entrance of the government office.
Gu Yundong lifted the curtain, but was shocked by the crowd at the door.
"So many people?"
Shao Qingyuan held her hand and carefully helped her down. "You’re the first ordinary person in the Xuanhe Prefecture to be conferred the title of princess. It’s a rare occasion for them, so they naturally have to come and take a look."
The fact that an ordinary person had become a princess made these commoners even more proud and excited.
Gu Yundong smiled. She saw many familiar people in the crowd. These people’s eyes lit up when they saw her in the princess outfit. They looked at her as if she was an immortal.
The crowd parted to form a path. Shao Qingyuan held Gu Yundong’s hand and slowly walked forward.
Behind them were the Gu and Bai families.
When they arrived at the government office, Gu Yundong saw the Bai family’s doctors, some students from Tianhai Academy, Aunt Ke, the Nie family, the shopkeeper of Shao’s Gu’s, Xiao Yuan’s family, the Su family, and even the beggar brothers who had helped her monitor Yang Wenli.
The two of them looked much better than before. They were not as thin and weak as before.
Gu Yundong smiled at everyone and walked into the government office.
Yi Zilan was already waiting for her in the hall. When he saw her enter, he nodded in satisfaction and opened the imperial edict.
"Gu Yundong, receive the decree."
Gu Yundong and the people behind her knelt down.
Although they had already heard the imperial edict once, at this moment, everyone’s hearts were still surging.
After hearing the imperial edict, Gu Yundong realized that it was not just Princess Yongjia’s title.
The emperor had also rewarded him with many things. Not only were there gold, silver, and jewelry, but there was also a princess residence in the Five Entry Courtyard in the Xuanhe Prefecture.
Yi Zilan handed the imperial edict to her with a rare solemn expression. "The princess’s residence was given to you by the emperor. There are also some servants in the residence. Their indentures are now in the hands of Nanny Qi, who is in charge of the princess’s residence. If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask Nanny Qi."
Nanny Qi was from the palace.
However, the emperor probably knew Gu Yundong’s character. Other than Nanny Qi, everyone else had been bought again. The rules and etiquette were not so strict.
Although the princess’s residence had been bestowed, it did not matter whether Gu Yundong lived there or not. It was up to her to decide.
If she did not live there normally, she would leave the residence to Nanny Qi.
Gu Yundong nodded and accepted the imperial edict.
After reading the imperial edict, they could go back.
When Gu Yundong went out, there were congratulations outside. She nodded one by one and was helped into the carriage by Shao Qingyuan.
Even after their carriage had gone far away, the crowd outside the government office did not disperse. They discussed Gu Yundong’s deeds non-stop.
There was even a shrewd teahouse that had started to make up stories based on Gu Yundong’s version.
Gu Yundong only heaved a sigh of relief when she reached home.
She hurriedly returned to her room and changed out of her clothes. It was really too hot. It was already May, and she would sweat even if she wore a single shirt, let alone this kind of thick princess suit.
Gu Yundong finally felt much more comfortable after changing into her usual clothes.
Many people had come to the house and were talking in the front hall.
Gu Yundong came out of the room and walked to the front hall eagerly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she passed through the corridor, she saw two small heads huddled together not far away, muttering something.
