"Your Majesty is too kind. This is the duty of the Ministry of Rites. To receive Your Majesty's approval makes all our efforts worthwhile."
Yan Zhen rose to his feet and bowed deeply.
"If Your Majesty has no further instructions, then I shall proceed with the preparations according to the ceremony we've discussed."
"There is no issue." Xiao Mo nodded. "Ah, that's right. This happens to be the Year of the Snake. I have a Spirit Snake Jade Token here that I'd like to gift to your daughter."
Xiao Mo took a Jade Pendant from his waist and personally handed it to Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen hurried forward, accepting it with a look of being overwhelmed by the honor. "On behalf of Ruxue, I thank Your Majesty."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yan Zhen withdrew from the Imperial Study.
Once Yan Zhen was a good distance away, Xiao Mo watched his retreating back and asked Wei Xun, "What do you think of Minister Yan?"
