Declare the decree
Receive the decree and express gratitude.
This is nothing unusual, but the tale of a mere subordinate household servant suddenly rising to prominence is more intriguing than the stories in books. After the eunuch declared the decree and departed, a group of servants, maids, and subordinates gathered around, eager to see the Imperial Decree in Chen Ji's hands.
But with a single glance from Mr. Feng, the servants dispersed obediently, heads bowed.
Returning to the West Wing, Chen Ji and Mr. Feng sat on either side of the stone table, the Imperial Decree lying quietly between them. Neither spoke.
After a long while, Mr. Feng sighed and said, "Lord Binghu always manages to accomplish earth-shattering feats wherever he goes... No wonder County Lord couldn't sleep all night, staying in the courtyard. It turns out the brightness of his own future kept him awake."
Chen Ji humbly replied, "It's alright."
