She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 537: Imperial Decree

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, quickly straightened their clothes and prepared to receive the order.

Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

They had not received any notification of the imperial edict today.

What does this mean, Your Majesty?

After a while, Butler Li led the angel in.

It was Eunuch Wu, the chief steward of the Emperor.

"I'm here to meet the old Prince Rong, the old Princess Rong, Prince Rong, Princess Rong, all the gentlemen and ladies." Eunuch Wu greeted everyone with a smile.

"No need for formalities. Why did Eunuch Wu come here in person?" Shangguan Ziqi raised his hand.

"The Emperor and Empress know that today is the birthday of the three princes and princesses, so they specially ordered our family to come and add some joy to the celebration."

Butler Li quickly prepared the incense table.

Everyone knelt down to receive the order.

Lord Wu displayed the yellow imperial edict and read it aloud.

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

Shangguan Changyu, the eldest son of Prince Rong, is intelligent, kind, and a master of both civil and military skills. He is now officially canonized as the Crown Prince of Prince Rong and inherits the title of King. I hope you will diligently study military tactics, uphold your duties, and defend your homeland and the country without slacking off.

The second-born son, Shangguan Changrui, possesses exceptional talent and scholarship, possessing both ability and virtue. He has been specially granted the title of Marquis of Zhenguo, his mother's title, and has been canonized as the Heir of Zhenguo Hou. I hope you will wholeheartedly assist your brother, and together, brothers will work to safeguard the peace of our nation.

My youngest daughter, Shangguan Yajing, is gentle, virtuous, and kind-hearted. I have specially appointed her the title of Princess Anping, granting her the honor of a legitimate princess. I hope you will carry on your mother's aspirations, delve into the art of medicine, and live up to my expectations by benefiting the world and the people.

You all need to remember your status, cultivate your moral character, live in harmony with each other, and do not let down the emperor's grace.

Admire this! "

There was silence in the courtyard, and everyone was shocked by this sudden canonization.

Previously, the retired emperor said that he would confer the title on Shangguan Yajing after she got married, but unexpectedly, the emperor issued the imperial decree to confer the title on her today.

Shangguan Changyu was the first to react and kowtowed respectfully: "Shangguan Changyu accepts your command and thanks you."

Shangguan Changrui and Shangguan Yajing also hurriedly followed suit, but their little faces were full of confusion.

Although they knew that they would have these identities in the future, they were usually not conferred the titles until they were fifteen years old. However, the emperor actually issued an imperial decree on their tenth birthday.

Yu Yuanzheng looked at the three children with mixed feelings.

She knew that this was the emperor's favor to the Rong Prince's Mansion and his recognition of them as siblings, but it also meant that from today on, they would shoulder heavier responsibilities.

She gently embraced the three children and said, "This is the emperor's love and trust in you. From now on, you must work harder and live up to this honor and the emperor's respect."

Shangguan Changyu straightened his back, a look of determination flashing in his eyes: "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely become a competent prince and will not bring shame to the Rong Palace."

He also knew what had happened in the palace, and the foolish things committed by his great-grandfather had almost led to the destruction of the Wei Dynasty.

If the mother had not opened the iron box, Da Wei might have become Canglan's slave.

Shangguan Changrui also nodded thoughtfully.

Shangguan Yajing, who was a little confused, tightly grasped the corner of Yu Yuanzheng's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Can I still play with my friends in the future?"

"Of course," Yu Yuanzheng gently stroked her daughter's hair. "You will always be my mother's little Jing'er, you just have the title of 'Princess Anping' now. But you can't be arrogant, and you can't bully others because of your status. You must learn the rules and behave like a woman."

"Yes, I know. All these honors were earned for us by our mother." Shangguan Yajing knew it very well.

Their father had told them countless times how their mother's contributions to the entire Rong Palace and the entire Wei Dynasty had made them what they are today.

The guests came forward to congratulate him, and the atmosphere of the birthday party became lively again.

The game that was not completed just now continues again.

But Yu Yuanzheng noticed that there was a maturity and thoughtfulness in the eyes of the three children that had not been there before.

As night fell and the guests dispersed, Yu Yuanzheng stood alone in the courtyard, gazing at the starry sky.

Shangguan Ziqi walked up to her and gently held her hand.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking, time flies by so fast." Yu Yuanzheng sighed, "In the blink of an eye, the children are already ten years old."

"Yes, but they still have a long way to go." Shangguan Ziqi looked in the direction of the children's residence. "Today's enthronement is just the beginning."

Yu Yuanzheng nodded, feeling both proud of the children and a little worried. She knew that from today on, the three children would have to shoulder their responsibilities.

As a mother, the only thing she can do is to continue to guide them and help them find a balance between honor and responsibility.

"The emperor wants Jing'er to study medicine with me. What do you think?" Yu Yuanzheng turned halfway and looked at her husband.

"Over the years, you've trained many female doctors. It would be a good idea to let Jing'er learn medicine from you. Besides passing on your skills to your disciples, our children also need someone to inherit them, otherwise it would be a waste."

Shangguan Ziqi is very supportive of his daughter learning his wife's skills.

"Okay, I'll teach her a little, but it depends on whether she likes it. I see she really likes martial arts, and I don't know if she's interested in medicine."

"She has heard today's imperial decree and will think it over carefully. Besides, learning medicine will be of great benefit to her. Practicing medicine and saving lives is a good deed to accumulate virtue and do good deeds."

"Ah."

The three children originally had their own yard.

The three siblings did not go back to the yard to sleep as usual.

Instead, they all gathered in Shangguan Changyu's yard without any prior arrangement.

Shangguan Changyu sat by the window, looking at the courtyard under the moonlight.

Shangguan Changrui leaned against the head of the bed, flipping through a book.

Shangguan Yajing, holding the doll, asked quietly, "Brother, can we not play around freely from now on?"

"Not really," Shangguan Changyu turned around and gave a soothing smile, "We just have more things to learn. As soon as I have free time, I have to go to the palace to serve as the eldest prince's tutor. As for you two, there are actually no requirements. But the emperor means that he hopes that my sister will inherit the mantle of mother."

"Is that all?" Shangguan Yajing was still a little uncomfortable.

From today onwards, she is a princess, not a princess-in-law, and she is treated as a legitimate princess.

"Don't think too much, we just need to do our duty." Shangguan Changrui closed the book, "Mother said that we should just grow up normally."

Shangguan Yajing nodded, not quite understanding, and yawned. "Can we still play puzzles together tomorrow? Today's game was really fun."

"Of course." The two brothers answered in unison.

Moonlight streamed through the window lattice, casting a soft silver veil over the three children. On this special night, they vaguely realized that a new chapter in their lives had been opened.

The next day, Cao Jinyu came to find Shangguan Ziqi and went to inspect the ship together with Shangguan Ziqi.

Last year, we invested a lot of manpower and material resources to increase the production of seagoing vessels, and it is said that three more seagoing vessels have been completed.

They didn't come back for half a month after they left, and they weren't even seen during the Dragon Boat Festival.

On the fifteenth day of the fifth year, a nanny suddenly came to the Zhong family to look for Yu Yuanzheng.
