Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Don’t Let Him Co_1 Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Don’t Let Him Co_1 No one dares to forge the Imperial Decree!
That would be a capital offense!
Fully aware of this, they finally believed it; then, they felt as if the Emperor of Xiyun had gone mad.
To actually appoint a woman as an official!
How could this be?
Of course, these were the thoughts of the n present.
The won present, however, were green with envy towards An Jing. Not only had An Jing given birth to quadruplets, but despite being a woman, she had been appointed as an official. She had beco the first in each respect, and regardless of An Jing’s performance in office, her na would be recorded in history, honored for generations to co.
Inside the courtyard, as soon as the bearer of good tidings had finished reading the Imperial Decree, An Jing rely said as a formality, “This humble official receives the decree and shall not disappoint the Emperor’s expectations.”
Only then did the bearer of good tidings respectfully offer the decree towards An Jing, but before she could take it, Xiao Changyi grabbed it and casually threw it to ng Zhuqing to hold, treating the decree with apparent indifference.
The bearer of good tidings: “…” Isn’t the decree supposed to be respectfully displayed?
This is a grave act of disrespect!
Imdiately after, the bearer of good tidings understood. No wonder the Emperor had said not to be too surprised by anything in Prince Yi’s presence, to just go along with however Prince Yi pleased… It all made sense now…
Recomposing himself, the bearer of good tidings then respectfully handed over the Docunt and the Seventh Rank Farr Knight’s official attire to An Jing, saying, “Here are the appointnt Docunt and the official attire of the Farr official.” He paused for a mont, “Since you are a woman, the Crown Prince has requested the Emperor to alter the official uniform into a style suitable for you to wear.”
As soon as An Jing heard the bearer of good tidings ntion Su Chengyu specifically, she knew this was Su Chengyu trying to curry favor with her, hoping she would put in a good word for him to her husband so that he won’t hold on to the fact that Su had arranged her appointnt without notifying her in advance.
With a profound smile, An Jing glanced at her husband and then said, “The Crown Prince is thoughtful indeed.”
Xiao Changyi was the one to take both the Docunt and the official attire, then he handed them to ng Zhuqing as well.
Scanning the surroundings cautiously, the bearer of good tidings lowered his voice even more and said, “Prince, Princess, the Crown Prince has asked to inform you that he will personally co to celebrate the little princes’ hundred-day banquet.”
Xiao Changyi imdiately replied dismissively, “Tell him not to co.”
The bearer of good tidings: “…”
As for whether Su Chengyu attended her children’s hundred-day banquet or not, An Jing honestly didn’t mind, but she was still quite pleased that Su had the intention to co.
And the blunt words of Xiao Changyi made her even happier.
She knew her husband was still bothered by the fact that Su Chengyu had arranged her appointnt without a word in advance.
Since Su Chengyu had said he would co, regardless of whether her husband wanted him to or not, he would definitely co. Therefore, An Jing didn’t undermine her husband’s stance, and she let the bearer of good tidings leave without conveying Xiao Changyi’s ssage for Su not to co.
Once the bearer of good tidings and the County Magistrate left with their entourage, those who ca to watch the excitent wanted to enter the courtyard to congratulate An Jing on her appointnt. But none managed to do so.
Simply because ng Zhuqing, following a glance from Xiao Changyi, had closed the courtyard gate, refusing entry to anyone knocking.
Xiao Changyi truly disliked anyone disturbing the peace he shared with his wife.
But an hour later, Shi Xiaolan ca knocking and happened to be overheard by An Jing; otherwise, Shi Xiaolan would have made the trip in vain.
Upon learning of An Jing’s appointnt, Shi Xiaolan had co over to congratulate her. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she grabbed An Jing’s hands, her eyes brimming with tears, her expression incredibly agitated.
