"Greetings, Chief Eunuch Liu!"
Qin Ying slightly bowed.
"Greetings, Chief Eunuch Liu!"
The other people, including Chen Xuan, also bent down to bow, saying in unison.
"Alright, at ease!"
Liu Sheng softly said, then looked towards Qin Ying, "It’s been so ti since I’ve seen the Little Princess; she seems distant now. You did not address like this before."
"Master!"
"Ah! That’s more like it, hahaha...."
Liu Sheng, the chief eunuch of the Ritual Departnt, has been with Emperor Yu since he was a prince, and his loyalty to Emperor Yu is why the emperor dares to entrust such great power to the Ritual Departnt.
"Alright, let attend to official business first. There are matters to discuss with you later."
"?"
Qin Ying looked puzzled.
But by this ti, the smile on Liu Sheng’s face had completely faded, and he respectfully unfolded the royal decree.
At the mont the decree was unfolded, golden light radiated all around.
Just like last ti when the spectral image of Emperor Yu appeared, even the Spiritual Qi in the air showed reverence at this mont.
"Heaven bless Great Yu, by the decree of Emperor Yu."
"Appoint Xuan Er as the new king of Molan Mansion!"
"Title: Prince Xuan!"
"Thus decreed!"
Liu Sheng’s voice was loud, causing the space to faintly tremble.
However, the people present did not feel anything.
But at this ti, Chen Xuan was dumbfounded.
Not just him, everyone present, except Qin Ying, was stunned.
"Master is the new king of Molan Mansion?"
At this mont, Qin Ke was so shocked his eyeballs almost fell out.
But seeing Chen Xuan’s expression, he was sure that he didn’t know.
Which ans... it’s her...!
His gaze turned towards Qin Ying.
At this mont, she smiled and looked at Chen Xuan, winking playfully. But seeing him dazed, she imdiately transmitted a ssage, "Aren’t you going to accept the decree!"
"Oh!"
Coming to his senses, he imdiately walked up to Liu Sheng, extended both hands, and took the decree.
"Not bad, quite talented!"
Liu Sheng nodded.
"Thank you for your praise, Lord Liu!"
"Here is your king’s seal! The Prince’s Mansion that used to belong to the Crane King is now bestowed upon you."
At this mont, a small purple-gold box appeared in his hand.
"Yes!"
Chen Xuanhesitantly stretched out his hand and accepted it.
Looking at the decree and the box in his hand, he was still bewildered.
"Am I really becoming a king just like this?"
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
Liu Sheng slightly smiled upon seeing him this way. After all, becoming the lord of a mansion, such a reaction was normal.
But... what he didn’t know was... that Chen Xuan was stunned because of Qin Ying.
Such a big matter and she didn’t discuss it with him.
She always knows how to surprise him.
"As for the candidate for the Minister of the Three Judicial Departnts... what is Your Majesty’s opinion?"
Liu Sheng looked at Chen Xuan.
"?"
Chen Xuanwanted to point to himself, but then saw both hands were holding things.
"Mm!"
Liu Sheng nodded, "If you have no objections, we’ll go with the person Zong Peng recomnded."
"Of course, if you do, then it will be reconsidered."
At this point, Qin Ke really felt like he wanted to cry. He never expected that the position he yearned for depended wholly on one word from his master now.
He was lost for so many days, only coming to his senses after a severe scolding from his master.
It’s truly... the whims of fate.
"No, I have no objections."
Chen Xuan shook his head repeatedly.
What opinion could he have? Qin Ke taking this position was certainly the best choice and could resolve his concerns.
"Alright, let’s decide on that then."
Liu Sheng nodded slightly, which was the best as it spared so trouble.
Then he looked towards Qin Ying, "Little Princess, you co with this old man alone."
"As for you all..."
His gaze went to Zong Peng, "That old guy Zhan Tian wants you to hurry over."
"Yes, thank you, Chief Eunuch Liu!"
Zong Peng and Zong Zheng respectfully bowed.
"Let’s go, Little Princess, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, Master, please!"
The two of them walked into the Three Judicial Departnts, while everyone else, of course, remained outside.
"What’s going on?"
By now, Chen Xuan had completely co to his senses. Just now, Qin Ying’s expression was sowhat strange, entirely different from the happiness of the morning.
"Did sothing happen?"
He speculated internally.
"Congratulations, Brother Xuan, on becoming the king of Molan Mansion."
Zong Peng smiled and congratulated him.
"Thank you, Brother Zong, going to the Imperial City this ti, your future prospects are limitless as well."
Such conversational pleasantries certainly needed to be exchanged.
"That’s not comparable to you, Brother Xuan, becoming the lord of a mansion."
Zong Peng truly felt envious.
This equated to entering the high ranks of Great Yu.
And given his extraordinary relationship with Qin Ying, his future prospects were even more incredible.
"The sa, all the sa."
Chen Xuan laughed.
"In the future, Brother Xuan, if you have the chance to co to the Imperial City, you must find and not stand on ceremony."
"Certainly, certainly."
After so exchange of courtesies, Zong Peng glanced sowhat reluctantly at Zong Zheng, "Let’s go!"
"Mm!"
Zong Zheng nodded.
"Everyone, until we et again in the years to co, Qin Ke, the Three Judicial Departnts is now in your hands."
"Farewell, Lord Zong!"
Qin Ke led in shouting, and even those wearing golden robes, despite any reluctance, could only follow and shout, "Farewell, Lord Zong."
Zong Peng smiled and nodded.
Then both of them transford into streaks of light, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
Chen Xuan turned his head to look at Qin Ke, "Congratulations."
That also counted as fulfilling his wish.
"Thank you, Prince Xuan!"
Qin Ke respectfully said.
Chen Xuan nodded, glancing towards the gates of the Three Judicial Departnts.
"What are those two discussing in there?"
Inside the Three Judicial Departnts.
"Did Father ask you to convey any ssage, Master?"
Qin Ying asked.
"Mm!"
Liu Sheng nodded slightly, "This ti, you must return to the Imperial City with ; it’s an order from Emperor Yu."
"Can it wait a little longer?"
Qin Ying understood the reason Emperor Yu made this decision.
But... she felt sowhat reluctant.
"No!"
Liu Sheng shook his head.
She was of age now, so she must return.
