Eunuch Li waved his hand, and the little eunuch holding the brocade box beside him stepped forward and opened the box.
Inside is a palace tablet padded with bright yellow satin.
This thing is not worth much, but it represents the trust of Emperor Zhaoming. Except for the prince and King Yi, there are only a handful of people in the court who are honored to receive such a palace tablet.
In some ways, the value of this palace card is more precious than a thousand taels of gold.
Xiao Lingyue's eyes also flashed with joy.
She didn't care about glory and fame, but she remembered that Emperor Zhaoming had said in Xiangguo Temple that after returning to Beijing, he would give her a palace entry token, allowing her to freely enter and leave the palace warehouse and select medicinal materials for Beibei's illness.
This is the second reward, to reward her for safely rescuing Han Han from the assassin.
Xiao Lingyue was grateful: "Thank you, Your Majesty." She reached out to take the brocade box, touched the palace card inside, and felt happy in her heart.
There are many rare treasures in the palace's warehouses.
Maybe, Beibei's medicinal materials for treating diseases can be gathered together, which would be great.
Eunuch Li saw the happy look on her face and thought she was touched by His Majesty's love. He was very satisfied and had a better impression of Xiao Lingyue.
"Master of Anping County, this is the title deed of the mansion and a thousand taels of gold that your Majesty has given to you. Please keep it."
Eunuch Li waved his hand again, and another young eunuch also held up a brocade box, which contained an official ticket worth a thousand taels of gold and a land deed.
The so-called land deed, to put it bluntly, is the ancient real estate certificate. It will state the address of the mansion, the area, the orientation, the number of houses, etc., and there will be the official seal below.
It is a very important document.
Because Xiao Lingyue's land deed was given by the emperor, it was written in a gold book and stamped with the imperial seal, so it was full of royal demeanor.
The items given by the emperor are not allowed to be resold or given away, and can only be used by yourself.
Xiao Lingyue picked up the land deed and took a look at it, and said in surprise: "This mansion... is on South Street?"
Eunuch Li smiled and said: "Yes."
Xiao Lingyue felt strange.
There are two main streets in the capital, one in the south and one in the north. There has always been a saying that "the south is more important than the north".
As the name suggests, the people who live on South Street have a distinguished status and are basically relatives of the emperor. Prince's palace, county prince's palace, princess's palace, etc. are all on South Street.
Among them, the palace with the best location and the largest area is Zhan Beihan's Palace of Yi.
People with insufficient status cannot live in Nan Street. There is even a joke among the people that a house on Nan Street is worth ten thousand yuan, and even the servants must be three points nobler.
As for the land deed in Xiao Lingyue's hand, the address on it was clearly written in black and white. It was on South Street, and the location was very familiar.
Beibei tiptoed and took a look curiously, and said in surprise: "Isn't this next to Prince Yi's Mansion?"
Xiao Lingyue: "..."
Okay, she just said why it looks so familiar.
This land deed is clearly next door to Prince Yi's Mansion, and another mansion right next to it.
If she remembered correctly, there was once a princess mansion where one of Emperor Zhaoming's sisters lived.
Later, the princess made a mistake and was demoted to princess by the late emperor and expelled from the capital, leaving the princess palace idle.
It is still uninhabited.
Xiao Lingyue is only a second-grade county princess, and the specifications of the princess mansion obviously exceed her status.
Why would His Majesty give her such a house? Moreover, it happens to be next door to Prince Yi's Mansion?
A suspicion flashed through Xiao Lingyue's mind.
Beibei curled his lips and muttered: "It must be Hanhan's fault."
