Chapter 376 Banning
Qi Ning'an looked up at his brother, and cleverly discovered that the young ladies who had been eating without restraint had unconsciously put away their casual attitude and silently put down their cakes and snacks.
He bowed to everyone and said, "Brother, I'm afraid you have something to ask me, so I'll go ahead."
Then they followed Jin Xi and Jin Bao out of the pavilion. Qi Ningliang naturally noticed those gazes cleverly and shrank back silently.
If this matter gets out, people who don't know would think he is here to peek at someone's young lady, which is very disrespectful.
"An'an, you're finally here. I'm almost stung. Let's go! There's news from the palace that you've been canonized." Qi Ningliang turned around and walked out before he finished speaking. Qi Ning'an followed him and asked tentatively, "Canonized?"
"Yes, regarding your enthronement, our Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Household Department have taken turns drafting characters for you, and it is extremely complicated. The emperor has never been very satisfied with it, but now he has finally chosen one that he is satisfied with." Qi Ningliang muttered.
In fact, the Emperor was not the only one who was dissatisfied. The Empress Dowager also made many suggestions. However, the Empress seemed to be invisible in this matter.
The emperor wanted to pick a bright and flamboyant word, always feeling that such a word was more suitable for Qi Ning'an. Her real name sounded a lot more delicate and stable, but the emperor had met Qi Ning'an, who looked full of energy and vitality.
The Queen Mother also felt that words that were too bright and flashy were a bit vulgar, and it would be better to use words that were fresh, unconventional and original.
In addition, since Qi Ning'an was born, he has never been given a proper nickname. The nickname Anqiao is still his original name, and calling him by that name directly seems a bit unfriendly.
So the two sides argued for a long time before finally deciding on the word "Zhao".
Soon, Eunuch Wei came in person.
Perhaps he wanted to show support for An Yonghou Mansion and Qi Ning'an, so he even brought more than a dozen carriages as gifts.
An Yonghou frowned as he watched, feeling that something ominous was going to happen.
Logically speaking, I had presented the evidence before, so the emperor would be more or less suspicious of me now, but I brought so many things...
It seems that there is another story behind this priesthood.
"An Yonghou Mansion, receive the order!"
Eunuch Wei's loud and clear voice seemed to have some kind of magic that penetrated the crowd and reached everyone's ears.
"The Emperor of Heaven and Order proclaims that Qi Ning'an, the legitimate daughter of the Anyong Marquisate, is virtuous, kind, and intelligent, and is now named the Princess of Zhaoping County...
An Yonghou has made meritorious contributions in providing evidence. We are now reopening the old case. I hope An Yonghou can make meritorious contributions soon...
Admire this. "
An Yonghou frowned, he knew that nothing good was going to happen.
The emperor spent several days doubtfully checking many places and a lot of evidence handed in, and found that they all existed.
But there is no good candidate for the time being, and the suspicion on An Yonghou has not been reduced much. What if this is some kind of self-torture to lure him into the game?
So I decided to hand this matter over directly to An Yonghou.
Firstly, if An Yonghou is really a spy and the person who lured him into the game, then as long as he is exposed, the other party will no longer use him, so he will be safe.
Secondly, if Marquis An Yong is really innocent, then there is no one who can be more assured than to hand over the matter to him. It would be faster to just let him do it.
Now the people who can investigate the case are not in Kyoto Prefecture, so why not let Marquis An Yong come instead?
He now has both a son and a daughter, so it's time for him to make some contribution to the court. The emperor feels that he hasn't had time to rest yet, and Marquis An Yong is living too comfortably.
Marquis An Yong had no choice but to accept the order. He had created his own mess, so he had to solve it himself.
In contrast, the other guests who heard the imperial edict were a little confused. What is an old case? Which old case?
Many people who have something on their mind feel guilty, fearing that they might be punished with the execution of their entire clan. They quickly remind themselves to clean up everything that has not been cleaned up when they get back.
Many people are afraid of An Yonghou's thundering methods. He is often a character who can get to the bottom of things without even having to find the clues.
If this falls into his hands, I don’t know what will happen.
After receiving the order, no matter how many thoughts everyone had in their minds, everyone was still polite and lively.
"Eunuch Wei, come and have something to eat before you leave. They are all home-cooked dishes." Marquis An Yong pointed to the top table, which was originally reserved for late guests or large numbers of guests. Otherwise, it would be awkward.
Eunuch Wei waved his hand politely, "I have to go back to the palace to report to the emperor, so I won't stay."
But I still couldn't help but take a deep breath. Today's food must have been brought from a restaurant in Kyoto, otherwise it wouldn't be so unique.
Marquis An Yong said a few more words, and when he saw that Eunuch Wei was questioning and wanted to leave, he could only say regretfully, "Then I'll trouble you, Eunuch Wei."
This time he gave a bag of small change, and Eunuch Wei no longer refused and accepted it.
Seeing this, Qi Ning'an took two steps forward and handed over the prepared food box, "Eunuch Wei, although these foods are just small snacks, they can be kept for a long time. Eunuch Wei, take them back and reply before eating them."
Marquis An Yong and Eunuch Wei could not help but look at Qi Ning'an, and each of them thought that their daughter was too sensible, much better than Qi Ning, and was truly a caring little girl.
The other one couldn't help but sigh that Princess Zhaoping was indeed very thorough and even he couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
Only Qi Ningliang was dumbfounded. If he remembered correctly, An An had been accompanying other female relatives in the backyard before. Then she followed him to the front hall to receive the order. When was it prepared?
In fact, when Qi Ning'an saw Qi Ningliang coming to find him, he thought about making some snacks, just in case someone didn't want to stay here or if there were later guests, there would be a way instead of just letting people wait.
When Eunuch Wei was about to leave, Qi Ning'an happened to see Guyu peeking at the door, and naturally got the hot snacks.
Not until Eunuch Wei had gone far away did other guests gather around him one after another.
"Marquis An Yong is truly blessed."
The closest person was Le Yonghou. If he wasn’t his old friend, he would have helped him so much.
To be honest, Marquis Le Yong was a little embarrassed to go out.
Neither of these two brats is easy to worry about.
When Gu Qing Pei woke up in the morning and heard that the emperor agreed to a retrial, he was extremely happy and is still kneeling happily in the ancestral hall.
He insisted that what he had done a few days ago was inhumane and he needed to repent sincerely.
It was not uncommon for Yan Yu to live in the Marquis' Mansion every day, but when he returned home, his already frail mother looked almost dying. Yan Yu was so anxious that he consulted many doctors, but they all said that she was on her deathbed.
At this time, Yan Yu was taking care of A Niang without leaving her side.
