Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1615

Chapter 1615

Emperor Mingde looked up at Tang Chuyu after hearing this, "Tang Qing, are you feeling guilty?"

Tang Chuyu's heart trembled, "Your Majesty, I have no regrets."

Emperor Mingde smiled faintly and used his imperial pen to tick off a few names. "As long as you have a clear conscience, it will be fair and aboveboard. I know that Tang Qing is upright, and the Crown Prince will know it sooner or later. With Tang Qing in charge of the court's purse, I feel relieved."

Tang Chuyu felt a burning sensation in his chest when he heard this, and he was determined to die for Emperor Mingde.

He didn't know that Emperor Mingde wanted to become his brother-in-law, but he felt that being valued and trusted by the emperor was the greatest honor and glory of his life.

The imperial edict of the imperial merchants was posted the next day. The Ming family, the Gu family, and the Shi Wei family were all from the same family, and the last spot was not given to the Chen family, but to the Huizhou Sheng family.

There was a lot of discussion inside and outside the court, and everyone secretly suspected that the Minister of Revenue was biased.

Later, Emperor Mingde personally said in the court that the imperial merchant was determined after he personally reviewed it. This suppressed the evil wind and gave Tang Chuyu a sigh of relief.

Bei Hui went to see the list excitedly and came back to report the good news. There were already many people sitting in the young master's mansion, looking very happy.

The first, third, and fourth branches were all there, and the older generations of the Shi family and the younger generations who were free were also there.

The clan leader smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. "Thanks to little Xia, our Shi family has become an imperial merchant one day. Hahahaha... I can finally face our ancestors!"

An elder reminded, "She's a princess, don't call her 'Xia girl Xia girl' all the time, it might be disrespectful."

The clan leader didn't care. "Eh, even if she is crowned a princess, she is still the 'Xia girl' of our Shi family." He raised his head and looked over with a smile. "Xia girl, don't you think so?"

Shi Anxia smiled warmly and bowed, "Grandpa is right."

The patriarch was even more delighted.

The atmosphere was lively and everyone praised the princess for her approachable attitude.

Is it just being approachable? The cake she had painted for everyone earlier was baked.

In just a few years, Shi Anxia really led the Shi family to prosperity and success.

The amount of silver and money distributed to each household was also quite generous. When the Shi family walked outside, they held their heads high and were full of confidence.

Now that the title of imperial merchant has been finalized, the Shi family’s wealth and status will surely rise to a higher level.

In the future, as long as I don’t make any big mistakes, I can at least provide food and clothing for three generations.

The Shi family is both an imperial merchant and a noble family, a unique honor in the Northern Wing.

Some people lamented, "It's like a dream, it feels like everything came too easily."

Another person said sternly, "You only see the glory today, so you naturally think it's easy to get. However, the Shi family can be what it is today, all thanks to Xia girl's planning. How can you know the bitterness in the process?"

Everyone praised Shi Anxia again.

Shi Anxia was modest and did not take credit for himself. He said calmly, "The Shi family is what it is today, not because of my efforts alone. It is because of everyone's concerted efforts that we have achieved this great situation." After saying this, he paused for a moment and continued, "I only hope that everyone in my Shi family can cherish their reputation and not let down the hard-earned glory."

When everyone heard this, they all calmed down and became serious.

Shi Anxia's eyes slowly swept over the people in the hall. He was not carried away by the title of Royal Merchant. Instead, he became calmer. "Along with glory comes rumors. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. Now there are so many eyes staring at us. If we are not careful, we will give others a handle. Therefore, our Shi clan, from top to bottom, must be more careful in what we say and do. Don't get carried away because of a momentary complacency, and don't be quick to talk and cause trouble."
