Chapter 125 The imperial edict arrives
Chapter 125 The imperial edict arrives
Su Yueyao did not enjoy the simple and comfortable life for even two days.
The palace maids sent by His Majesty have already arrived at the county, and they were accompanied by the prefect of Yangfu City.
Aunt Wen, the magistrate of Lianyi County, also came early.
At this time, Su Yueyao, Yang Qianxun, Lu Yuanyi and Lu Yuanjin were all standing at the gate.
Fortunately, it is relatively quiet here and there are not many people watching.
"Su Yueyao, come forward to receive the order." A man in palace clothes shouted.
The man had a delicate appearance, a fair face and a pair of big eyes. He was wearing a dark blue palace suit, which was different from the ones worn by the palace servants behind him. The suits worn by the others were lighter in color. It seemed that he was the leader of these palace servants. Looking at the boxes in their hands, was this the reward for her?
Behind them were twenty or thirty guards, with swords on their bodies, and each of them looked strong and powerful.
If she hadn't known that this was a reward for her, she would have thought that they were here to confiscate her property.
"Your humble servant Su Yueyao kowtows to Your Majesty and wishes you long live the emperor." Su Yueyao stepped forward, knelt down and said to the imperial edict.
Yang Qianxun, Lu Yuanyi and Lu Yuanjin immediately knelt down as well.
"Su Yueyao from Yi County has contributed greatly to the rescue of drowning people. I am rewarded with 100 taels of gold, two boxes of pearls, a pair of red jade bracelets, and a box of gold leaves."
"I like the plum blossom appreciation painting presented by Su Yueyao very much. I have specially approved Su Yueyao to participate in the painter competition of the Literati Hall on the tenth day of next month. If she passes the painter competition, I will make an exception and confer her the title of Eighth Rank Shangyi. I decree this."
Su Yueyao felt something was special when she heard the previous part, but her eyes went dark when she heard this part. She didn't want to participate in any evaluation of the Academy of Literature, nor did she want to be an eighth-rank Shangyi. She just wanted to stay in Yi County. The key point was that she had heard that His Majesty wanted her to make every effort to pass, otherwise she would be in trouble!
In the end, she had to bite the bullet and accept the imperial edict, because she couldn't bear the charge of disobeying the imperial edict...
"Su Yueyao accepts the imperial edict." Su Yueyao took the imperial edict with both hands.
"Lu Yuanyi, the young master of the Lu family in Yi County, please accept the order." The palace servant shouted again.
"The Lu family of Yi County taught the method of treatment without keeping it private, which helped Xihe County successfully treat the woman. I hereby reward Lu Yuanyi with 100 taels of gold and grant the Lu family pharmacy a plaque with the title of "Doctor's Benevolence". I hereby decree this."
Lu Yuanyi was very happy to hear this. With the plaque bestowed by His Majesty himself, no one would dare to mess with the Lu Family Pharmacy in Yi County. The Lu Family Pharmacy has reached a higher level. They are no less inferior to the Lu Family in Fengdu.
"Lu Yuanyi accepted the order."
"Please stand up, Miss Su. His Majesty is full of praise for the plum blossom painting you presented to him. The painting was brought to the imperial study by Pei Rujun, and His Majesty likes to take a look at it whenever he has nothing to do." The palace servant asked someone to deliver the reward to the mansion and said to Su Yueyao.
Haruhi immediately led the palace maids in.
Su Yueyao looked like she was about to cry uncontrollably.
"The painting for the eunuch was drawn by me based on my feelings. I'm afraid I won't pass the evaluation by the painters in the Academy of Literature!" Su Yueyao said anxiously.
"Ms. Su is too self-deprecating. His Majesty once said that as long as Miss Su can paint half as well as she did in appreciating the plum blossoms, there will be no problem." The eunuch raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Yueyao when he heard her words. When His Majesty asked him to convey the imperial edict, he also specifically instructed him to say so if Miss Su said it was not possible.
Your Majesty could actually guess Su Yueyao's thoughts? Su Yueyao looked as if she was shocked. What was going on? The eunuch was also confused.
In fact, it was no wonder that he was confused, because when His Majesty got the plum blossom viewing painting by Su Yueyao, he was curious and sent her shadow guard to check on Su Yueyao.
After that, I happened to hear half of the conversation between Su Yueyao and Lu Wenxin.
