The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich Chapter 1271: Debate!

Chapter 1271: Debate!

Eunuch Zhang read,

"Taoyuan Village's farmer's daughter, Lin Yuelan, has a gentle personality and is pure and kind. I like her very much and have especially taken her in as my adopted daughter. Moreover, this woman has excellent medical skills. She helped me detoxify the poison and saved my life. She has contributed greatly to foiling the Zhou family's rebellion. Therefore, I have conferred her the t.i.tle of Princess Guguo!"

"Thank you, your majesty. Long live my emperor!" Lin Yuelan thanked him.

After Eunuch Zhang announced the imperial edict, the civil and military officials immediately became lively.

Yuwen Longyan looked at the officials whispering to each other. He raised his eyebrows and asked sternly," Do you have any objections?"

Of course, there were objections!

Immediately, the Imperial Censor stepped forward to stop him." Your Majesty, you must not!"

Yuwen Longyan said doubtfully," Oh. Minister Huang, tell me, what mustn't I do?" This was asking the obvious!

The Imperial Censor said directly," Your Majesty, although Lin Yuelan has cured the poison and destroyed the Third Prince's conspiracy, the status of the 'princess of Guguo' is extremely precious. If Your Majesty wants to express his grat.i.tude, he can use other methods. The status of the 'princess of Guguo' is something that Lin Yuelan can't afford! Emperor, please reconsider!"

"Emperor, please reconsider!"

The opposition immediately knelt down. Those who didn't kneel were only Duke Guo. Even Prime Minister Chen knelt down.

For a peasant girl, even if she had saved the Emperor, it was a miracle that she could be conferred the t.i.tle of princess. However, this woman did not have the ability to bear the t.i.tle of "Princess Gu Guo".

" Your Majesty, it's obvious that a Guguo princess must have the ability to make extraordinary contributions to the country. For example, Princess Feng Fei, the founding princess of the country, followed the founding emperor to the battlefield. That's why she was conferred the t.i.tle of Princess Guguo by Emperor Taizu to show her contribution and honor. But she…" The imperial censor said sharply.

Yuwen Longyan had already expected that the officials would object. He said expressionlessly," Oh, all the beloved ministers think that my adopted daughter can't bear the t.i.tle of 'Princess Guguo', right?"

Hearing the Emperor's words, the officials looked at each other again and then said in unison," Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

"Oh, it seems that you really think so!" Yuwen Longyan's voice was calm as if he had already expected this situation.

The people below all lowered their heads and did not speak. It was obvious that they were tacitly agreeing.

At this moment, the atmosphere between the monarch and his subjects seemed to have stiffened for a moment. This stiffness made the opposing officials not even dare to breathe loudly.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, I have already said that I am not suitable for the n.o.ble status of a princess. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to take back the status of 'Princess Guguo'. I will return to the countryside to farm!" Suddenly, Lin Yuelan's cheerful voice rang out in this solemn and quiet place.

At this moment, everyone was stunned!

Farming?

This woman seemed to have been saying that she was a farmer. Oh, right, the imperial edict also mentioned that she was a farmer from Taoyuan Village, right?

Could it be that this woman wasn't Liu Yichen's sister at all? Otherwise, why would a lady from Willow Leaf Manor farm?

Oh, no, that wasn't the main point now.

Instead, this woman did not seem to care about the ident.i.ty of the "Princess of the Guguo" at all. Otherwise, she would not have asked His Majesty to take it back.

This... How was this possible?

They believed that no one, especially women, would reject the wealth and honor in front of them, right?

However, if there was nothing wrong with their ears, then it was obvious that this woman was rejecting His Majesty's imperial decree!

Yuwen Longyan's calm expression changed, and he instantly became stern and dignified. He said seriously," I believe that no woman in the world is more suitable for the ident.i.ty of Princess Gu than you! Minister Jiang,"

Then, he called out to Jiang Zhennan.

Jiang Zhennan immediately replied," Your humble subject is here!"

"Tell all the officials here, how many stones do you produce per mu at Nanyuan Manor?"

"Your Majesty, seven stones per mu!"

"Minister Yuan, tell me, how is the dictionary that I asked you to compile?"

"Your Majesty, once this dictionary was published, it was really sought after by scholars from all over the world. Moreover, ordinary people also liked it very much. They could recognize words from this dictionary so that ordinary people would not be deceived because they did not know words!"

"Minister Zhang, have you promoted the Arabic numbers?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, it has already been promoted. This Arabic number is convenient for calculation, especially in commercial and industrial banks. It is especially widely used!"

Yuwen Longyan asked a few questions in a row, and the officials were all baffled.

Soon, Yuwen Longyan asked," Dear ministers, do you know who contributed to the more efficient farming methods, the compilation of the dictionary, and the application of Arabic numbers?"
