When he got home, he told his daughter about it.
Gu Shengyin thought about it and recalled what Qi Chengxuan said to her before.
She reassured her father, "It's not a bad thing."
Just as she expected, the imperial edict came from the palace the next day.
Without any hesitation, under the witness of so many guests, guards dressed in palace attire carried a golden plaque to the entrance of the Flower King Pavilion.
The emperor personally wrote the plaque and gave it to the Flower King Pavilion!
All the guests present were shocked and wondered what the Flower King Pavilion had relied on to be valued so highly by the Imperial Palace.
That was not all.
What really shocked everyone was another imperial edict.
It was an imperial edict from the master of the harem.
"The daughter of the Zhang family, the owner of the Flower King Pavilion, is intelligent and virtuous … She is conferred the title of County Princess Sifang."
Not only were all the guests stunned, but even Gu Shengyin, who had been sitting in the inner chamber, was surprised.
She did not expect that there was such an imperial edict waiting for her!
County Princess Sifang?
The title of county princess was not low. The royal family was usually very stingy when it came to titles. Even for the daughters of the royal family, only those who were very favored could ask for an official title before they got married.
But now, the royal family just conferred the title of county princess to a commoner so easily?
Although everyone else knew that this was just a title, no matter how fake it was, she was still a legitimate county princess with a title!
This time, Gu Shengyin, the main character, had to show up.
Thus, the others watched as a girl in pink walked out of the inner chamber of the Flower King Pavilion.
She was beautiful.
That was everyone's first thought when they saw Gu Shengyin.
But if you were asked to describe how beautiful she was, no one would be able to say it out loud.
Everyone felt that this person's figure, eyebrows, smile, and gaze were all perfect.
When she walked out, the entire hall was filled with a sense of glamour.
Gu Shengyin bowed elegantly and received the imperial edict.
The eunuch who announced the decree said with a smile, "Congratulations, county princess Si Fang."
A smile appeared on Gu Shengyin's face. "Thank you, eunuch."
Zhang Gensheng also reacted and hurriedly invited these people from the palace to drink tea, but was politely rejected.
"We still have to rush back to report, so we won't disturb you any longer."
Seeing the group of people leaving, the entire Flower King Pavilion was in an uproar.
Many of the madams who originally had a reserved smile on their faces looked at Gu Shengyin, who appeared in front of everyone for the first time, with smiles on their faces. Their tone was amiable and kind.
"Congratulations, County Princess Si Fang."
"The owner of Si Fang County lives up to his name …"
Gu Shengyin listened to these compliments and did not feel embarrassed. She shuttled between the madams with ease and even accepted one or two invitations.
In the eyes of those who were interested, her natural and unrestrained attitude naturally led them to speculate more about her origins.
After this incident, the Flower King Pavilion's reputation had finally spread.
Finally, it was recognized by the upper-class circle in the capital city.
Countless people who cherished flowers were proud to have a pot of flowers personally cultivated by county princess Si Fang.
Over at Mingyi Marquis' mansion, after waiting for half a month, the news that the pot of luminous white peony from Kun Mountain would be sold finally came.
