I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

After a bumpy ride, the carriage stopped not far from the Council Hall.

Gu Changfeng reached out to help Qiao Linxi tidy up her hairpin and clothes, and said softly, "Wait in the car, I'll send someone to pick you up later."

Looking at the sky outside, which was just getting light, Gu Changfeng said again: "If you feel sleepy, take a nap, don't force yourself."

After getting off the carriage, Gu Changfeng instructed two maids to serve Qiao Linxi well.

This is a bit strange. It feels like a husband giving his wife instructions before leaving home.

"Don't worry, sir. We will take good care of Miss Qiao."

The two maids answered cautiously.

It was the first time they saw their young master treating a woman with such care, and they guessed in their hearts that this woman must be his future wife.

……

In the court, the emperor sat there with a smile on his face. Anyone with eyes could see that the emperor was in a good mood.

Normally, the grants that ministers applied for were approved today, which made those ministers very confused.

It was previously mentioned that funds would be allocated to reinforce the city walls, but the emperor rejected the application, saying that the treasury was empty.

The proposal to purchase winter clothes for the soldiers was also rejected.

In short, all previous requests that required money were rejected.

It was almost 9 o'clock when the emperor waved his hand and pushed the memorials aside. Then he looked to his side and saw Gu Changfeng standing there, then he spoke slowly.

"I won't read the memorials anymore, let's talk about something happy."

The emperor smiled and said, "Master Qiao, you have a wonderful granddaughter."

Old Master Qiao was confused. Looking at the emperor's face, he couldn't figure out what the emperor meant.

Thinking of the dragon-shaped jade pendant that the emperor had mentioned before, Old Master Qiao thought that no matter what the emperor meant, it would always be right to confess his guilt.

"Your Majesty, my granddaughter grew up in the countryside. If she has committed any crime, please be lenient with her because her parents are both deceased. I will bear all the responsibility for any crime."

When other ministers saw Old Master Qiao confessing his guilt, some expressed sympathy and some expressed ridicule.

Everyone here is a smart person. How could they not know who the pretty woman with the dragon-shaped jade pendant that the emperor mentioned before is?

The blatant dragon-shaped jade pendant was a capital crime punishable by the death of the entire clan. The granddaughter of Old Master Qiao, whom he had never met, was really bringing bad luck to the Qiao family.

"Master, you worry too much. I want to reward her."

After saying this, the emperor turned his head and looked at the eunuch beside him: "Announce it."

The eunuch immediately shouted in a shrill voice: "Ask Qiao Linxi to the palace to see the emperor..."

The thin and long voice passed through the civil and military officials and reached outside the palace. There was another eunuch outside the palace who also spread the message.

"Announce Qiao Linxi to the palace for an audience..."

"Announce Qiao Linxi to the palace for an audience..."

In the carriage, Qiao Linxi was half asleep and didn't hear anything, so the maid quickly woke her up.

"Miss Qiao, wake up, the emperor summoned you."

"what?"

Qiao Linxi suddenly opened her eyes, rubbed them, and after getting off the carriage, she asked the maid to check if her hair was messy and her makeup was smudged.

The two maids hurriedly tidied her up, and then Qiao Linxi walked towards the main hall.

When the eunuch summoned Qiao Linxi, Old Master Qiao was incredulous. He knew that Qiao Linxi had come to the capital, and he also knew that the two of them would meet one day. But he didn't expect that they would meet just one day later.

This girl is so brave that she actually ran directly to the emperor. Isn’t she afraid of being punished by the emperor?

The ministers also looked outside the hall curiously, wanting to see what this woman who had been mentioned several times by the emperor looked like.

The sunlight at this moment was not glaring, and it just happened to shine at the entrance of the main hall. It was foggy in autumn, and there was a thin layer of fog farther outside the main hall. It blocked everyone's sight, making it seem unreal.

Slowly, a woman walked out of the mist, and the early morning sunlight cast a layer of orange-red light on her.

She came closer and closer, and when she stepped onto the steps, the sun shone on her, emitting a dazzling golden light. Everyone felt as if they were seeing a moving golden mountain in front of them.

Some officials have already thought of what to say in court tomorrow. The treasury is empty now, and as the family members of court officials, they should be frugal. This woman is shining with gold, which means she is extravagant. We can use this opportunity to impeach Master Qiao.

At this moment, Qiao Linxi was indeed glowing with golden light. As he walked into the hall from the sunlight, the golden light on his body still did not disappear.

She wore a golden hairpin on her head, and her clothes and shoes were embroidered with gold thread, looking like a wealthy person.

Of course, this golden light is also thanks to the system. It gave blessings to Qiao Linxi, which is why people can see that her whole body is emitting golden light.

Old Master Qiao looked at the golden-colored woman and felt his head throbbing. He also knew that the treasury was empty, but how could Qiao Linxi dress like this?

Isn't this just handing the handle to the emperor?

Qiao Linxi walked through the crowd of civil and military officials without looking around, came to the front, and knelt down.

"Commoner Qiao Linxi greets His Majesty."

Some censors began to think about how to make things difficult for Old Master Qiao. Since she was Old Master Qiao's granddaughter, and Old Master Qiao was a court official, she should be considered a court lady. This title was flawed.

"Get up."

The emperor couldn't stop smiling when he looked at Qiao Linxi, who exuded the aura of money.

He was a wise ruler. Since Qiao Linxi had donated the gold and silver in his hands, he would not delve into whether Qiao Linxi had donated all of it or whether he had kept any.

Combined with what he saw yesterday, the emperor decided not to offend Qiao Linxi. Who knows if he can bear the consequences of offending Qiao Linxi.

How could an ordinary person offend a woman who could tame a dragon? Even if he was the emperor, the ruler of a country, he could not act rashly. He could not let the entire Dai Viet Kingdom pay for his little imperial power.

"Master, this is your granddaughter. Great..."

The emperor said a few more good words, which frightened Old Master Qiao. Just as Old Master Qiao was about to kneel down and plead guilty, the emperor suddenly spoke.

"In order to commend Qiao Linxi for donating gold and silver to the national treasury, I have decided to grant her a gold medal of immunity from death and confer her the title of Princess, with the title of 'Huaian'."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Changfeng, who had been standing on the side, walked out with a yellow imperial edict in his hand.

He opened the imperial edict and read it aloud: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims... that you are specially conferred the title of Princess Huaian..."

After reading it, Gu Changfeng looked at Qiao Linxi who was standing there motionless and reminded her, "Princess Huai'an, thank you."

Then he signaled Qiao Linxi to kneel down and receive the order.

Helplessly, Qiao Linxi had to kneel down again. She couldn't stand this evil human rights society where she had to kneel down at every turn.

Gu Changfeng walked down from the high platform holding the imperial edict, followed by a young eunuch holding a tray in his hand, on which was placed a golden medal of immunity from death.

Just as Gu Changfeng was about to walk in front of Qiao Linxi, an official jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, I have objections."
