My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!
Chapter 528 - 347: Return Journey

Early morning.

Li Nuo opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, stretched his body, and showed a slightly bewildered expression.

He slept very well last night, sleeping until daybreak.

But after waking up, he felt that his energy was not as full as it should be.

Could it be because of the dream he had last night?

In Zhao Country over the past few months, he didn't know how many temptations he had resisted, always keeping himself pure. For a married man, it was indeed a bit difficult. From a medical perspective, having such dreams is quite normal.

After getting up, he and Yiren simply packed up their things, and the two of them waited together in Zhaoyang Palace for the Empress to finish court.

Everything in Zhao Country had been settled; it was finally time to go back.

Compared to Li Nuo's eager anticipation, Song Yiren's mood wasn't actually very high.

Back in Daxia, her husband wouldn't just belong to her alone...

She wished to stay in Zhao Country forever, but she also knew that wasn't possible.

Phoenix Sister was right, when she wanted to monopolize him, she could never truly have him.

Thinking that after going back, she wouldn't be able to live like now, she sighed inwardly, looked at Li Nuo, and said: "Come here."

Li Nuo walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong... mm..."

At this time, just not far from Zhaoyang Palace, the Empress had just announced two decrees in the court.

Two decrees for conferment.

The first decree conferred the title of First Grade King on Li Nuo, the top scholar of the Six Subjects in Daxia, with the title "Zhao," implying the brightness of the sun, which also suited his Legalist identity. It showed the Emperor's deep thought into his title.

Unlike in Xia Country, in Zhao Country, if someone of a different surname made great contributions to the kingdom, they could also be conferred as nobility. However, Kings of different surnames were very rare and could be counted on one hand over hundreds of years.

Kings of different surnames were rare, and conferring a foreign officer as a First Grade King was unprecedented.

However, there were few objections from Zhao Country's courtiers regarding this conferment.

Firstly, there was no doubt that Li Nuo was the greatest contributor to the Empress's ascension. Without him, there would be no present-day Empress.

Where there is a need for punishment, there must also be a reward for contributions.

During the struggle for the throne, the strategists around each Prince sought the rewards that would follow their ascent.

At that time, the Empress had only him by her side.

After the Empress ascended, rewarding him heavily was only right and proper.

Secondly, Li Nuo had made significant contributions not only to the Empress but also to Zhao Country's court, its governance, and its people.

Be it the establishment of the Anti-theft Bureau, the promotion of nationwide medical care, or the reforms in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, each of these contributions was monumental and beneficial for future generations. Even without his contributions to the Empress's ascent, granting him a title was absolutely justified.

The courtiers had no objections, also considering their interests.

The nobles in Xia Country all had royal blood. Even if an outsider made tremendous contributions, they could never be part of the nobility.

But in Zhao Country, as long as the contributions were significant enough, even those not surnamed Zhao could be conferred as nobles or kings.

Blocking this path would make one an enemy of the entire court.

The second decree conferred the title of Princess on Song Yiren with the title "Zhaorong."

In Zhao Country's history, there had only been conferrals within the same surname, and never for someone of a different surname, though this was a matter within the Royal family, so outsiders should not interfere.

The Empress had just ascended to the throne a few days ago, so the heads of each important department were her staunch supporters. They didn't oppose it, and other officials wouldn't dare to challenge the Empress's authority.

After the morning court session ended, these two matters were confirmed.

Zhaoyang Palace.

Li Nuo and Yiren were still waiting for the Empress to finish court when several female officials queued into the hall, bowed to them, and said in unison.

"Greetings, His Highness King Zhao!"

"Greetings, Princess Zhaorong!"

Li Nuo and Yiren exchanged a confused look.

One female official stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Princess, we are here to take your measurements for tailoring your outfits..."

At this moment, Li Nuo understood what was going on, looking astonished.

Zhao Zhiyi has actually conferred a king title on him?

Yiren was also conferred as a princess?

No wonder she was the Empress, doing whatever she wanted. Before they left, she even bestowed such a grand gift upon them.

The treatment here was completely different compared to Daxia, like the difference between heaven and earth.

There would be no going back to Zhao Country for him in the future.

Song Yiren's heart was filled with immense joy.

Song Jiaren had an Imperial Decree, and Li Anning was a princess. They all had beautiful clothes issued by the court, but she had nothing... Now she was also a princess and no less than Li Anning.

More importantly, she was a princess while Song Jiaren was not.

Zhiyi was really kind to her...

Li Nuo stood there, letting several female officials measure him, and at that moment, a figure walked in from outside the hall. The female officials immediately bowed: "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Zhiyi waved her hand and said, "Continue."

Li Nuo looked at her and said, "Such a big event, why didn't you discuss it with me in advance..."

Zhao Zhiyi smiled slightly and said, "Yiren's princess title was my promise to her, and conferring you as a king is what you deserve. You've done so much for Zhao Country; if not rewarded heavily, who would truly work for the country in the future? This is not merely a reward for you, but also an incentive for the courtiers."

What she said made perfect sense, and Li Nuo couldn't even refute it at the moment.

Due to this sudden event, they couldn't leave today.

Apart from conferring them as king and princess, she also gifted them a residence which they must check out.

Additionally, the Ministry of Rites needed to tailor several sets of clothes for them, including court dress and regular attire. Li Nuo didn't care much, but Yiren insisted on waiting until the clothes were ready before leaving.
