The second prince Yi Jingshi's rebellion against the emperor failed, and he was stripped of his martial arts and imprisoned in the palace forever.
His mother, Concubine De, was banished to the cold palace, and Yi Jingshi's maternal family, that is, Concubine De's family, and Yi Jingshi's father-in-law, the family of General Weiyuan Huo Hanguang, were all executed and their property was confiscated.
The third prince Yi Jingpin was named Crown Prince, and Xiu Lingce was named Marquis of Protecting the Country, and the title was passed down for three generations.
Yi Dingyao had selfish motives in enfeoffing Xiu Lingce.
He doesn't have much time left to live, and Yi Jingpin will soon ascend the throne as emperor.
Xiu Lingce is not only Yi Jingpin's friend, but also his aide and right-hand man.
Xiu Luoran cured Yi Jingpin's leg, and this time Xiu Lingce and his son made another great contribution.
After Yi Jingpin ascends the throne, he will certainly reward Xiu Lingce and the Xiu family generously. Maybe they can even be made Duke. A Duke is one level higher than a Marquis.
Yi Dingyao was afraid that the Xiu family would be both a marquis and a duke, and Xiu Luoran would be the prince's consort. What should he do if the Xiu family's achievements surpassed their master?
Now, he was conferred the title of Marquis of Protecting the Country on Xiu Lingce, which looked very glorious.
In fact, even if he was not given an additional title, Xiu Lingce was already the eldest son of the Marquisate and would inherit the title of Marquis of Zhenxi sooner or later. The title of Marquis of Huguo was actually redundant.
Yi Dingyao has now conferred a title on Xiu Lingce. After Yi Jingpin ascends the throne, he probably won't confer a title on Xiu Lingce in the short term.
It probably won’t happen again in the future.
why?
Because he had not made any meritorious service in following the emperor, he would not receive such a great reward, nor could he be promoted to a higher rank. Xiu Lingce could only be the Marquis of Protectorate the Country until he died of old age.
Xiu Yuancang's title of Marquis of Zhenxi will be gone without him.
For the sake of his son and Tianhe's empire, Yi Dingyao really worried about it.
Others who participated in the rebellion were severely punished, and those who made contributions to suppressing the rebellion were also rewarded.
Although the fourth prince Yi Jingyang participated in the rebellion, for the sake of his mother and grandfather, he was reprimanded and confined to the mansion for half a year to reflect on his mistakes.
At the same time, he cancelled his engagement with Xiu Luoran, the eldest daughter of the Xiu family.
Immediately afterwards, Yi Dingyao issued an imperial decree to grant marriage to the fifth prince Yi Jingxuan and Xiu Luoran. The wedding was completed three days later, and Xiu Luoran became the fifth prince's consort.
Why so urgent?
Yi Dingyao knew that Xiu Luoran didn't like Yi Jingxuan very much yet, and he was afraid that Yi Jingxuan would have a rough love life after his death, so he decided to lend a hand and let them get married early.
As for the seventh brother Yi Jingge, his brother became the emperor, so naturally he would not treat him unfairly.
After making arrangements for his three favorite sons, Yi Dingyao felt relieved and could close his eyes in peace.
Soon, Emperor Tianhe Yi Dingyao passed away and Crown Prince Yi Jingpin ascended the throne.
He rewarded all officials and issued a general amnesty. Yi Jingxuan and Yi Jingge were conferred the title of prince.
……
When Yi Jingpin ascended the throne, he kept his promise and exchanged the notes that Xiu Luoran had treasured for a gold medal with the words "As if I were present in person" as a reward to Xiu Luoran.
Xiu Luoran declined politely.
Yi Jingpin didn't say anything. Xiu Luoran said under Yi Jingpin's scrutinizing gaze:
"Your Majesty, the gold medal is of great value, it would be disastrous if it were lost.
Your Majesty, can you give me a title? I am not short of money, I just want a title, not any fiefdom or salary."
After hearing this, Yi Jingpin's expression softened a lot:
"Tell me, why do you want a title?"
"Your Majesty, the world is peaceful now, and there is nothing going on at home or in the palace. I want to go around and take a look.
If someone tries to embarrass me, I can protect myself by blocking my account, and it will save me a lot of trouble.”
Yi Jingpin smiled: "Why, is there anyone who dares to embarrass you, the princess?"
Xiu Luoran shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, a princess should give people the impression of being gentle, generous, virtuous and kind. I have nothing to do with these things. I am afraid of insulting the dignity of the royal family.
It’s different if you have a title. Even if you are embarrassed, it won’t bring trouble to the royal family.”
"Why, you're going out to play without Lao Wu*?"
“I’m just a casual person, just wandering around.
Yi Jingxuan is different. He is a man. Although he does not need to make achievements, he should also contribute to the court and share the worries of the emperor. "
It was not a good thing for a prince to run around when the new dynasty was just established, as it would arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Generally speaking, the emperor would not allow it.
Yi Jingpin was very satisfied with Xiu Luoran's words. He knew that Xiu Luoran was a sensible person, so he was also relieved about Yi Jingxuan:
“You also said that this is a peaceful and prosperous time, and we only need those ministers to do things.
You have just gotten married, and you should spend more time together to strengthen your relationship. If you want to go out for fun, go together."
Xiu Luoran was very happy: "As ordered! Thank you, brother."
Not long after Xiu Luoran returned to the palace, the imperial edict arrived, conferring the title of "Princess Xiaoyao" of the superior rank. Along with the imperial edict came many rewards, which were nothing more than some gold, silver, jewelry, and precious clothes and ornaments.
"Yi Jingxuan, your brother is very considerate and wants us to go out and play together. Think about it, where should we go?"
Yi Jingxuan said gently:
"It's up to you. I'll go wherever you go."
Being granted marriage to Yi Jingxuan, Xiu Luoran still felt a little happy and sweet.
She saw how good Yi Jingxuan was to her, and she believed that Yi Jingxuan was someone worthy of entrusting her life to.
In order to get the title, Xiu Luoran decided to go out for fun with Yi Jingxuan, to cultivate their relationship and become a real "free and easy princess", a happy and carefree person.
In the morning, as soon as the city gates opened, Xiu Luoran and Yi Jingxuan rode out of the city on horseback, facing the rising sun, and rushing towards their new life.
