Mr. Cui had seen Yuanbao before, so he greeted him with a smile.
Yuanbao returned the smile and asked, "Mr. Cui, is the imperial decree you're holding really for me?"
"We wouldn't dare to falsely deliver an imperial decree," Mr. Cui said, "Young Master Song, quickly kneel and receive the decree!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanbao lifted his robe hem and knelt down.
Mr. Cui read out the decree.
The content was not long, and the meaning was simple.
In last year's end-of-year exam, Yuanbao was among the top three of his class and was fortunate enough to enter the palace as a companion to the Eldest Prince.
After reading, Mr. Cui handed the decree to the young man and gave a kind reminder, "This is a rare opportunity, Young Master Song. You must seize it well."
Holding the decree in his hand, Yuanbao looked bewildered, "Isn't the companion to the Eldest Prince supposed to be the fourth son of the Su Family? How did it suddenly become me?"
