Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots

Chapter 1410: 229, County Master (26)

Hmph, useless bunch!

The Emperor sneered coldly in his heart and said further, “Since no one believes they can come up with a better idea, then the reward will go to Lin Yuan. Summon someone, convey My Imperial Decree, Lin Yuan has merits towards the state and the people, henceforth appointed as County Master, granted the title Pingxi. Xia Yuan, may the honor of County Master Pingxi inspire the soldiers of the Xia Family Army and lead them to a grand defeat of Xiliang!”

Xia Yuan was especially pleased, his voice growing ever more resounding and forceful: “Your servant receives the decree!”

The news of Lin Yuan being appointed as County Master Pingxi swiftly spread far and wide. Consort Shu, upon hearing this news, was overjoyed and her face beamed with delight: “This consort has long mentioned to the Emperor about granting this adopted daughter a title, and now we’ve finally found the opportunity. Surely, Your Majesty must have been thinking about it all along!”

Aunt Qi, who also had a very favorable impression of that smart and clever young lady, smiled and said: “If Her Majesty herself spoke, how could His Majesty not take it to heart? The Emperor’s concerns are always for Her Majesty foremost.”

Consort Shu loved hearing this, but having passed the age where flattery could appease, and having been in the palace for many years, she naturally understood the principle of staying humble.

“Keep such words between us; they must not be recklessly spoken outside.”
