471 Her goose was too good at this
Shi Qingluo saw the emperor was listening patiently.
She continued, “I said those words in a moment of anger, and I regretted it after that.
“But if we didn’t managed to get it after saying so, we might be bullied by Princess Zhen in the future.
“Princess Zhen would also catch my goose and stew it.
“So I came with thick-skinned to borrow my credits for the potatoes to ask for a title, Your Majesty.
“I have to live with dignity. I want to fight for my dignity as Princess Zhen is really too much of a bully.
“With the emperor’s imperial title and a death-exemption medallion, I believe Princess Zhen will not dare to be as presumptuous and bully others as before.”
Dumbly called out a few more times at the side, she wouldn’t dare to bully a goose anymore.
Shi Qingluo’s eyes were filled with adoration and reliance as he looked at the emperor. “The emperor is the biggest backing for me and my goose. As long as we have the emperor’s support, we have nothing to be afraid of.”
The emperor was well-informed, and Shi Qingluo had long decided to narrate this honestly in front of the emperor.
As long as it was not a secret that could not be revealed, she would not hide it.
As the emperor, he was lonely holding the top designation.
He also didn’t like the people around him always hiding things from him.
Instead, he preferred them to tell him everything honestly.
He definitely wouldn’t dislike others treating him as something they could worship. In fact, he even liked it.
Dumby eyes also revealed a look of reliance on the emperor.
It quacked a few times at him, meaning that Dumby and its mama were relying on him.
The emperor felt an indescribable sense of closeness when he was being looked at with such trust and reliance by the owner and the goose.
It was said that animals knew how to read people and were the most innocent.
This intelligent goose relied on and worshiped him, the emperor.
This meant that he was the true emperor, the son of heaven.
Even the animals acknowledged him.
Moreover, this goose might be an immortal pet sent by the old immortal to protect Daliang.
He laughed out loud. “You guys!”
He was also happy that Shi Qingluo had honestly told him everything about how she had bragged in front of Liang Mingmin.
He had an even better impression of Shi Qingluo.
This girl was honest and frank.
It also showed that this girl really trusted, worshiped, and depended on him.
She really felt that as long as she had his support, she would not be afraid of anything.
This was acknowledging him as the emperor.
He nodded. “Alright, I’ll fulfill your request this time. You can’t do this again next time.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Shi Qingluo immediately thanked him.
“I was bullied too much by Princess Zhen on that occasion,” she said in an apologetic tone. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have boasted. I will be careful in the future.”
After getting what she wanted, she still had to do what she needed to do.
She treasured the goose so much that she couldn’t even bear to pluck a single feather.
Liang Mingmin actually wanted to stew the goose in an iron pot, and she wanted to teach her a lesson. She would not just let it go like this.
As expected, the emperor could not help but frown. “Princess Zhen is really outrageous.”
He also wanted to raise such a smart goose, but Liang Mingmin was so cruel that she wanted to kill it.
She was indeed just like her father, cruel and annoying.
Dumbly followed suit and called out twice. That’s right, that ugly woman was too outrageous.
The emperor looked at it and laughed, “You really understand everything!”
Dumby proudly puffed out its chest and quacked to the emperor. That’s right, I’m the king of geese, the smartest goose.
The emperor was amused by its appearance. “You’re so smart. You have to be the king of geese so that you wouldn’t be shortchanged.
“From today on, I will make you the king of geese and grant you a death-exemption medallion. No one can kill you and stew you.”
If Shi Qingluo had not raised the goose like a child and it wouldn’t be good for him to raise it, otherwise, he would have kept it in the palace.
When Dumby heard this, it was especially happy.
It’s mama had said that she wanted this two-legged monster to make it the goose king. Then, no one would dare to bully it in the future.
Dumby first bowed to the emperor and then quickly walked toward him.
This made the head eunuch beside the emperor extremely nervous, and he blocked in front of the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand. “You may leave.”
The head eunuch could only leave respectfully, but he looked at Dumby with a guarded expression, afraid that it would attack the emperor.
Dumbly rolled its eyes at the eunuch. This man was problematic. It wasn’t a fierce beast, so how could it attack others at first sight?
It stretched its head over and affectionately rubbed against the emperor’s arm, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, to show its love.
Of course, it was mainly to flatter the dragon.
Its mama had said that she had to make the emperor like it and it had to coax him well.
The emperor saw the goose rubbing against him obediently, as if it liked to get close to him.
He had a strange feeling in his heart.
This was the first time he had been treated like this by an animal.
He couldn’t help but reach out to stroke the big goose’s head.
Dumby obediently let him touch it and even rubbed its face against his palm.
The emperor’s heart softened and he ordered the eunuch, “Get someone to make a small gold medal with the words “king goose” carved on it. Then put it on its neck.
“Don’t make it too heavy, it must be exquisite.”
If it was too heavy, the goose would be uncomfortable.
The head eunuch didn’t expect the emperor to like the goose so much, and immediately said respectfully, “Yes, Your Majesty!”
However, he had to admit that the goose was really too human-like.
Even he couldn’t help but feel happy when he looked at it.
Dumby nudged the emperor happily, and called out to him twice as if it was thanking him.
This two-legged monster was not bad. No wonder its mama was so nice to him.
The emperor laughed out loud. “You still know how to thank me. The goose king is living to its reputation.”
Shi Qingluo was stunned by her goose’s amazing operation. It was kissing the dragon’s butt.
Her goose was too good at this.
Previously, she had only taught Dumby that after seeing the emperor, it had to try it best to make him happy. This way, both Dumby and its mother would be safe.
Who would have thought that goose was so powerful? She didn’t teach it to do all this.
The goose was definitely the best at flattering the dragon in the entire Daliang country.
It was also the first goose that could only rub against the emperor’s dragon robe and arm. It was so awesome!
The emperor liked Dumby more and more, and his disgust for Liang Mingmin deepened.
He then turned to the eunuch and said, “I hereby announce that Princess Zhen has been demoted to the position of an ordinary county princess from today on for bullying the weak and abusing her status.”
In the late emperor’s eyes, Liang Mingmin was a treasure, hence Princess Zhen, so he changed the word “Zhen” to “ordinary” for her.
Other than his own displeasure of Liang Mingmin, he was also venting his anger on behalf of Shi Qingluo and Dumby.
Shi Qingluo was not only Xiao Hanzheng’s wife, but also a blessing to him.
Not only did she help him resolve the trouble caused by Prince Jin’s rumors, but she also came up with ideas to let him earn money to fill the National Treasury and upgrade the military.
She even offered high-yield seeds twice in a row so that the people of Daliang would have enough to eat in the future.
He had always remembered this kind of credit.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he wasn’t prepared to completely fall out with Prince Jin, he would have directly changed Liang Mingmin’s title to a commoner.
However, being demoted to a county princess could also help Shi Qingluo and Dumby, and give Liang Mingmin a good slap in the face.
He also wanted to see how Prince Jin would react.
Of course, there was also another point.
He had been holding in a stomach full of anger for the past few days and needed to vent it out.
If it were not for Xiao Hanzheng’s mother, his beloved brother would have been killed by Prince Jin.
If Xiao Hanzheng could think of Prince Jin’s intention, the emperor could naturally think of it as well.
He could use Liang Mingmin’s disparaging remarks to test Prince Jin.
