interacted with him. Why should she unconditionally believe him just because he appearedAn Xuetang shook her head, trying to keep from thinking too much. "Zilin, you stay here and learn with Master, I...By imperial decree, Heaven's mandate is hereby bestowed upon the Empress of the Northern Border. The Princess, both martial and scholarly, possessing grace and wisdom, has made great contributions in defeating the Great Yue nation. Therefore, tomorrow morning at court, she shall accompany the King of the Northern Border to receive rewards for her service. So it is decreed.

"...."

Upon hearing the contents of this imperial edict, An Xuetang's lips twitched. This emperor was truly as stingy as she had imagined!

He didn't directly bestow rewards upon her, insisting she first present herself before him before granting her grand gifts. Wasn't that just to see how capable she truly was

Then, she would surely not disappoint him.

Mo Yunjing glanced at Yun Si, and Yun Si took the imperial edict from that official's hand.

Chen Gonggong pursed his lips. The King and Queen of Beijang were right here, this imperial decree should be received by these two, no matter what, it was not this Yun Si's turn.

The fact that King Beijīng allowed this "servant" to pick him up is clearly a sign of disrespect towards the Emperor.

Alas, he was facing the King of Beijang, a man who had never feared the Emperor. Therefore, even though he was annoyed at this moment, he dared not speak out and could only watch helplessly as Yun Si took the imperial edict from his hand.

But Yun Si wasn't completely ignorant of 'the rules', he took the imperial decree and shoved some silver into Chen Gonggong's hand.

This is the "rule," An Xuetang knew this was what they called "involution."

When an imperial eunuch delivers an imperial decree, people usually give him some silver.

With silver stuffed into his hand, Chen Gong weighed the weight of the silver in his palm and his face instantly broke into a smile. His mood improved considerably.

This Beijiang Prince's Manor is still very generous. At this moment, he smiled and clasped his hands together, "Since..."

"Grand Chamberlain Chen, it's time for you to leave!"

"...."

Before Chen Gong could utter any polite phrases, Yun Si coldly said a sentence, instantly making the atmosphere extremely awkward!

However, Yun Si's tone was laced with killing intent. Chen Gonggong, that old fox, naturally understood, so he bowed repeatedly and backed away, turning to leave without hesitation. He didn't dare to linger; his life was precious!rom behind An Xuetang's back.Over all these years, Shuangshuang has learned to conceal her aura to avoid those in the palace.
