Chapter 1273 - 1273: All the Ministers!

Translator: Lonelytree

Lin Yuelan deliberately emphasized the word ” servant ‘ .

Because they both knew who this so-called servant was.

Of course, she was referring to the masters of the Zhengguo Duke’s estate.

How could a servant really have the guts to spread rumors outside?

When Jiang Yunfeng heard this, his heart was filled with resentment.

However, he could only swallow his anger and say,” This Duke thanks the

Princess for sparing their lives on behalf of these servants!”

Lin Yuelan’s words immediately won the favor of most of the officials.

This woman was truly a magnanimous person.

Yuwen Longyan asked sternly,” Minister Huang, do you still think that the princess is a bloodthirsty person?”

When the Imperial Censor heard the story, his face was filled with shame. He turned to the Emperor and said,” Your Majesty, I admit my guilt! I mistakenly believed in the rumors outside and misunderstood the princess. Like the outsiders, I slandered the princess! I’m guilty! Your Majesty, please punish me!”

As he spoke, he kowtowed to the Emperor and then to Lin Yuelan.

It was obvious that he had completely accepted Lin Yuelan’s status as the princess of Guguo. He did not think that she was not qualified to be the princess of Guguo!

Lin Yuelan smiled indifferently and said,” Lord Huang, please rise! You’re too serious. Those who don’t know the truth are not guilty! You’re just listening to the rumors outside!”

She admired the courage of this imperial censor.

He clearly knew that she was the princess of the Guguo. However, because the outside world heard that she was a violent person, he put his head on the ground to advise the emperor. After that, he immediately apologized after knowing that he had misunderstood her.

She didn’t care about his inappropriate words because the Imperial Censor was indeed a rare loyal official. He was a minister who dared to act and speak.

Of course, such an official was not likable to the Emperor or his colleagues.

However, the imperial court still needed loyal officials who dared to speak the truth and remonstrate!

Therefore, Lin Yuelan did not make things difficult for the imperial censor!

Hearing Lin Yuelan’s magnanimous words, the imperial censor felt extremely ashamed. He said very sincerely,” Princess, your magnanimity really makes me feel ashamed!”

Lin Yuelan smiled and said,” It’s my duty to be loyal to the monarch and to take care of my duties! This princess understands. Lord Huang, you don’t need to feel ashamed!”

Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, the imperial censors, including most of the ministers, felt even more embarrassed!

They believed in the rumors and did not investigate. Instead, they wrote a letter to the emperor. They had really neglected their duties and offended the princess of Guguo.

Fortunately, this princess of the Guguo was more tolerant than ordinary women and men. She did not hold it against them. Otherwise, they would have to bear the consequences!

“Haha, well said!” Yuwen Longyan suddenly laughed.” Girl, you still surprise me time and time again!”

“Your Majesty, you flatter me!” Lin Yuelan replied with a smile.

Yuwen Longyan seemed to be dissatisfied.” Hey, girl, why are you still calling me Your Majesty?”

Eunuch Zhang immediately smiled and reminded her,” Princess, it should be Imperial Father! ”

Lin Yuelan reacted and immediately smiled.” Imperial Father, you flatter me!”

Prime Minister Chen also praised her sincerely,” Not only is the princess a beautiful woman who can topple cities and countries, but her talent is also overflowing. She’s stunning. This old minister admires her!” As soon as he spoke, the others immediately echoed!

“Indeed, Princess Gu is as beautiful as a fairy, talented, and peerless!”

“Allowing farmland to yield seven stones per mu, compiling a dictionary to benefit the masses, and Arabic numbers to facilitate the calculation of businesses such as commercial banks. These are not things that ordinary people can think of. This is simply a breakthrough and development for our country.

“For example, if the production of rice is promoted across the country, we won’t have to worry about the people not having enough to eat and clothes to cover their bodies!”

“That’s right. When the time comes, there will be no hungry people in the country.”

“And that dictionary. Now, no matter if it’s a three-year-old child, a young adult, or a woman, as long as they learn the alphabet, they can read. Everyone can read and understand. They won’t be cheated.”

“I’ve heard many shopkeepers talk about the Arabic numbers. They’re clear and easy to calculate. It saves a lot of time and increases efficiency. Also, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China can use these numbers to make marks. It’s much easier. If the numbers are accurate, the manufacturing of various instruments will be more accurate and perfect.”

In the imperial court, all the officials spoke one after another, all of them praising and praising these people!

“Speaking of which, Princess, how did you do this?” Prime Minister Chen asked curiously.

Of course, Lin Yuelan wouldn’t tell him that these things were very common in the modern world.

After all, with her past identity, as long as someone checked, they would know how pure and kind she was. This was a nice way to put it, but to put it bluntly, she was stupid and weak back then!

However, there had to be an explanation for why a person’s personality would change so drastically in such a short moment.

Lin Yuelan smiled and said to Prime Minister Chen,” Lord Chen, a year and a half ago, this princess was alone and weak. Once, under the punches and kicks of my friends in the village, I fainted. Then, I walked around the King of Hell’s palace and saw him. He saw that this princess was pitiful, so he opened his wisdom and taught me some skills. Therefore, this princess wants to use these skills on the people!’

With just a few words, she explained the reason why she suddenly became smart. She did not deal with the ministers like she did the villagers of Lin Family Village. Back then, she used long speeches and a lot of nonsense. She even had to use her ability to intimidate them!

Those who could become high-ranking officials were not stupid people. People who spoke too much would have flaws. It was very easy for them to find loopholes. If these loopholes were used by people with ill intentions, it would be troublesome.

And she hated trouble!

Hearing Lin Yuelan’s explanation, Prime Minister Chen asked in confusion,” Good, what a good idea to use it for the people. But Princess, you have been lonely since you were young?! Don’t you have parents?”

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” This princess does have parents! However, before the age of nine, this princess was chased out of the family, and my family cut me off, so I became alone!”

Everyone was shocked when they heard Lin Yuelan say that she had been driven out of the family and that her family had severed ties with her.

Then, they were puzzled.

Why would an ordinary family be driven out of the house for no reason? Why would they cut off their family ties and meridians?

“Princess, you were abandoned before you were nine?”Prime Minister Chen asked in a satisfied yet puzzled manner.

Nine years old and still a child. Ordinary people might not even know if they could survive at the age of nine. However, Lin Yuelan had a great opportunity and was living a bright life. Now, she was the Emperor’s adopted daughter and the only princess of our dynasty. How noble was her status? “Princess, how old are you now?” Prime Minister Chen asked again. Judging from Lin Yuelan’s appearance, she should be 15 years old.

“Thirteen years old!” Lin Yuelan replied indifferently.

“What? Only thirteen years old!” Lin Yuelan’s age shocked the officials once again.

This child was so young, only thirteen years old, while the Great General was already twenty-five years old. It was said that the Emperor had already arranged a marriage for them, but the age difference was a little too big. For a moment, many people were confused about the match between them!

Especially Jiang Yunfeng.

He had always thought that Lin Yuelan was already of age. Since she was Jiang Zhennan’s fiancée, they could get married at any time.

However, when he heard about the age gap between them, he was a little happy.

Because Lin Yuelan, the princess of the Kingdom of Guguo who had just been conferred by His Majesty, was only thirteen years old. Even if she wanted to marry Jiang Zhennan, it would take at least two years.

In these two years, many things had happened.

Therefore, to deal with Jiang Zhennan, he had to break them up first!

Jiang Zhennan looked calm when he saw everyone’s surprised faces, but he still felt bad.

However, Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion,” Yes, my lords, is there a problem?”

The officials reacted and shook their heads.” No problem!”

“Haha, since none of you have any objections, Eunuch Zhang, immediately announce the identity of Princess Guguo to the world!”

“Your Majesty is wise! Long live my emperor!”
