Ye Jiu stepped forward a few paces, leading everyone, and knelt down with her knees in obeisance.
Behind her, the mbers of the Ye Family couldn’t help but stealthily cast their gazes on Ye Jiu.
Originally, the sudden imperial decree had already been enough to unsettle them, but they knew it was a good thing, not a bad one.
However, up until now, they still did not know why the imperial decree had co.
Even as Ye Jiu knelt on the ground, everyone was still oblivious as to why the imperial decree would be bestowed upon a daughter.
As Ye Jiu knelt, the imperial decree was finally unfurled, "By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees, ’The Ye Family has a daughter nad Ye Jiu, who greatly resembles Prince Jing, thus upon investigation of her identity, she is recognized as the long-lost eldest daughter of Prince Jing...’
’Now granted the title of Princess Changfu, her na changed to Qin Jiu, bestowed with the land of Jingyang, effective imdiately, to return with Prince Jing to the capital to receive her title, so be it!’
’Qin Jiu receives the decree, long live my Emperor.’ Ye Jiu straightened up to receive the imperial decree.
Behind her, Ye Jiu gathered everyone’s attention, and at the sa ti, a question inevitably flashed through everyone’s mind.
Many clan mbers knew about the incident when He gave birth to Ye Jiu, but how could the child that ca out of He’s belly beco the eldest daughter of Prince Jing?
Although there were many doubts, it didn’t deter the excitent in the hearts of the Ye Family mbers.
Regardless of whose daughter she was, Ye Jiu had grown up among their Ye clan, and naturally, they had affection for her. Now that she had beco a Commandery Princess, without doubt, she would be the Ye clan’s greatest support in the future.
As they say, when one man attains nobility, his pets and dogs rise to Heaven, this would be the greatest fortune for their Ye clan.
After Ye Jiu stood up, she had thought that it was all over.
But, to her surprise, the old eunuch took out another imperial decree, and the shrill voice sounded again, "Ye Family Head Ye Gaosheng, receive the decree..."
In his bewildered state, Ye Gaosheng was still pushed forward by soone, and then he stepped forward, imitating Ye Jiu’s actions just now, and knelt on the ground.
"By the Mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees, ’The Ye Family has contributed to raising Princess Changfu ritoriously and also cultivated the high-yield crop, sweet potatoes, producing up to ten thousand catties per acre; a beneficial act for the state and the people. Now granted the title of Marquis of Utmost Loyalty, as a token of appreciation, bestowed with the Marquis Building located at...’
It wasn’t until the imperial decree was passed into his own hands that Ye Gaosheng was still in a daze.
He had beco the Marquis of Utmost Loyalty?
Looking at the sun in the sky, it hadn’t risen from the west today!
On the other side, Prince Jing had dismounted, his face somber as he walked aside with Ye Jiu. Glancing at the Ye Family’s old residence where Ye Jiu now lived, he said to Ye Jiu, ’Prince Jing is already aware of the Ye Family’s fire incident, and I will certainly investigate the truth as soon as possible. You will not be wronged.’
’If this incident is still related to the Crown Prince Residence, what does father plan to do?’ Ye Jiu asked.
’What do you an?’ Prince Jing’s eyebrows furrowed.
’It ans what you heard,’ Ye Jiu said bluntly.
After a long silence, Prince Jing finally spoke, ’I will investigate the truth of this matter myself. You, a little girl, should not fall for soone else’s instigations.’
Hearing Prince Jing’s words, Ye Jiu would be lying if she claid not to feel disappointed.
But she could also understand, after all, she was just the daughter who had been recently found, while the Crown Prince had grown up with Prince Jing from a young age as his dear older brother.
The difference in closeness could be discerned from just a few words.
’Then I shall wait for father to uncover the truth and avenge .’ Ye Jiu’s eyes glead with a smile, but how she truly felt inside, only she knew.
No worries, she would personally take revenge for both the Ye Family and herself. Whether Prince Jing believed her or not wasn’t too important.
