Chapter 686 Two Imperial Edicts with Unpredictable Fortune and Misfortune (3)_1
The Eunuch with the Duty of Announcing Edicts looked at the woman kneeling on the ground with a twitch at the corner of his eye, and mentally exclaimed "How unusual."
So many precious rewards and an imperial title granted by the Emperor himself, even those noble ladies spoiled from childhood would be thrilled, yet this one was quite the opposite. Her previous calm demeanor didn’t seem feigned, and the excitement that followed, like that of an idiot who just got an enormous fortune, didn’t seem faked either!
Having stayed in the palace for decades, he had seen all kinds of people, but this was the first time he encountered someone so... "interesting"! This was good in a way; he thought about sharing the story for a laugh with Liang Gonggong when he got back. Who knows, Liang Gonggong might become even more pleased, and his position could advance further.
Although the Eunuch with the Duty of Announcing Edicts was quite amused, the Imperial Edict had been announced, and the recipient, lost in thought and not accepting the edict, was showing great disrespect to the Emperor. If the gossipy Little Eunuchs spread the word, and it reached the Emperor’s ears, the Mo Family would definitely be in trouble.
Seeing General Xiao, who clearly had a deep connection with the Mo Family, still kneeling on the ground, the eunuch remembered Young Master Yan’s warning before leaving and another task he had to do, which made him shiver inside: If nothing unexpected happened, this Mo Family girl would likely have even greater fortune in the future, and might soar to great heights. It would be difficult to forge a good relationship then!
With his thoughts racing, the eunuch coughed softly and quickly bent down, reminding the still foolishly smiling Mo Yan in a low voice, "Miss Hejia, you should bow to thank His Majesty for his grace now!"
"Ah?" Mo Yan raised her head, evidently not realizing that the strange and unfamiliar title was referring to her.
Seeing the foolish grin still on his daughter’s face, Mo Qingze could hardly bear to look. He suppressed the urge to cover his face, gently tugging at Mo Yan’s hem, and whispered urgently, "Quick, accept the edict!"
