Quick travel: I rely on the childbirth system to pamper my harem

Father Fang looked surprised.

It is a bit unreasonable that Fang Jixuan issued rewards right after he arrived at the border.

"May I ask, sir, what is the reason for this reward?"

The eunuch who announced the decree immediately smiled and said, "Madam Fang risked her life to save His Royal Highness Prince Chen from under the horse's hooves. The Emperor and Concubine Li are grateful in their hearts, so they asked me to come here to announce the decree."

Just then, the eunuch stood up and looked towards Yu Qingning.

"Mrs. Fang, please accept the order."

Yu Qingning immediately bowed: "I accept your order."

"Thinking of your kindness, I..."

"I hereby grant you the title of county lady, with the name Danyang, and a monthly salary of 110 taels of silver and 110 hu of rice."

Hearing this, Fang's father looked at Yu Qingning deeply, stood up and winked at the housekeeper, who understood and handed the eunuch a generous bag of money.

Yu Qingning was shocked, but she remained calm as she kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I thank you. May your Majesty be well and healthy!"

Only daughters of the royal family could be granted the title of County Princess, not to mention that she also received a monthly salary.

The most important thing is that she has already married into the Fang family. According to the conventions of this dynasty, she can no longer be given the title of county princess. Even if she saved Prince Chen, no matter how favored Prince Chen is, she should not receive such a generous reward.

Is it because of the Fang family’s reputation?

Apart from this, Yu Qingning could not think of any other possibility. It should be that the emperor rewarded her in order to save the face of the Fang family, so this was the difference brought about by her identity.

In her previous life, she had put in a lot of effort to send Cheng Yanzhou to the Marquis' Mansion, and it took even more effort to get him into the court to serve as an official.

In the end, she earned the title of Lady step by step.

Now it is comparable to 'reaching the sky in one step'!

Yu Qingning didn't feel ashamed at all that he gained the emperor's favor by taking advantage of the Fang family's power.

There is a saying that goes, "I hate it most when others use backdoors, but I hate it even more when I have no backdoors." If you have power to protect you, why should you refuse?

Why should you feel humiliated when you can make your path smoother?

As long as she proceeds step by step, she will not be afraid that this path will not last long. Yu Qingning has confidence in herself. After all, she succeeded in taking such a difficult path in her previous life!

After the chief eunuch left, Fang's father looked at Yu Qingning meaningfully.

"King Chen, is this a coincidence?"

When he was young, Fang's father also fought in many battles. He was a military general who did not understand the twists and turns of civil officials, but he was a man who knew how to use military tactics. How could he be a reckless man?

After just a few glances, he realized that this daughter-in-law was no ordinary person.

"After my daughter-in-law sent her husband out of the city, the horse went mad and she happened to save King Chen." Yu Qingning said a few simple things.

Father Fang narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Qingning for a long while: "Before you rescued him, did you know the identity of King Chen, or didn't you know?"

"know."

If he said he didn't know, everyone would know it once Fang's father asked around. Yu Qingning didn't plan to hide it and looked at Fang's father frankly.

Father Fang did not ask Yu Qingning whether he saved people on purpose.

Anyway, this is not a bad thing for their Fang family, but it is not a good thing either.

"Qingning, do you know what this means?"

Yu Qingning looked calm: "It means that the emperor might think that our Fang family is involved in the fight for the throne, but father, I don't have this intention, and I will prove to the emperor that my rescue this time was purely coincidental."

Hearing her say this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Fang's father's eyes.

It seems that this daughter-in-law is not just a pretty face.

"Okay, then I won't ask any more questions. You can do whatever you want. But I still want to say one more thing. Since you are married into the Fang family, you must put the Fang family first in everything you do in the future."

"My daughter-in-law knows."

Yu Qingning came out of the yard with a very calm look. She did not seem happy at all about becoming a county lord.

Maybe it's because she wants more than just this.

……

The next day, Hemerocallis was waiting at the door early in the morning, her cheeks full of joy.

Yu Qingning noticed it the first time he saw her.

"What's wrong? Is there any good news?" Yu Qingning asked after washing his face.

Xuancao saw that Yu Qingning finally asked, and immediately couldn't hold back her words, and continued: "Madam, the mistress asked you to come over, saying that she had something to tell you, but I saw that you were sleeping the whole time, so I didn't dare to disturb you."

Yu Qingning paused and asked calmly, "Do you know what it is?"

"Anyway, I heard that it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing."

Yu Qingning curled her lips slightly: "Then let's go and pay our respects to mother."

When the two arrived at Xue's courtyard, they found it very lively. There were many managers standing in the courtyard, and each of them held an account book in his hand.

"The daughter-in-law pays respects to her mother."

Xue had a serious look on her face, but when she saw Yu Qingning, she suddenly smiled: "You're here, come and sit down."

Yu Qingning walked to the chair and sat down, then asked, "I wonder why my mother wants to see me?"

"Do you know who they are?"

Yu Qingning glanced at the people in the yard, thought for a while, and said slowly: "If my daughter-in-law is not mistaken, you should be the managers of the Fang family shop."

Xue said with admiration: "I am indeed not mistaken."

"They control the financial lifeline of our Fang family, and each of them is my confidant. Mother asked them to come here with you today because she has something to tell you."

Everyone held their breath and looked towards Xue.

Xue said, "Mother wants to hand over the shop and the Fang family's household affairs to you, Ning Niang, do you have the confidence to be able to do this?"

Yu Qingning was shocked.

Although there is this speculation, it still feels a little different when Xue said it himself.

She stood up suddenly and knelt on the ground: "Mother, I have never been in charge of the household. Is it inappropriate to do this? I am afraid that you will hinder me."

Xue looked at everyone present with a serious look.

"Since the power is given to you, you just need to do it with confidence. The stewards will clear the obstacles for you. If anyone disobeys, they will be punished according to the family law!"

Yu Qingning's palms were covered in cold sweat.

In her previous life in the Cheng family, she had to go to great lengths to make Cheng Yiyi and Zhu willingly hand over the power of housekeeper. Now, Xue actually gave it to her on her own initiative.

With such trust and love, Yu Qingning didn't know how to repay him.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Xue smiled and patted Yu Qingning's hand: "Good boy, mother only hopes that you and Brother Xuan can be happy. As for expectations, mother does not have too big aspirations."

"After all, there are two grown men in this house who are responsible for the work. There is no need for two weak women like us to do the heavy lifting. Do you understand?"

Yu Qingning's eyelids trembled.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Xue was warning her or sincerely hoping that she would relax.

"Mother, I think women are no worse than men. As long as they work hard, their achievements may be incomparable to men."

Xue frowned slightly: "Can you relax a little bit, please?"

"Of course, but I don't want to be a woman trapped in the backyard." Yu Qingning said solemnly, "Mother, if you hand over the shop and the Fang family's household affairs to me, I will definitely not let you regret it!"

Xue seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment she let Yu Qingning get up again.

"Okay, then mother will wait and see what you can do."

"Madam! A distinguished guest is coming to visit!"
