When it was dawn, Miss Jun walked out the door and saw quite a few people gathered in the yard.
"Nine years old." Fang Chengyu walked over to her, leaving everyone behind and showing her his hands. "Do you think I look okay in this?"
She wore a royal blue robe, a white jade crown, a red gold pendant at her waist, and black and gold cloud-patterned shoes. She was so dazzling that one could hardly take one's eyes off, but strangely, she did not seem inappropriate or awkward.
Zhu Zan cast a look of disdain on Fang Chengyu's face.
The young man's face was as white as jade and his smile was as bright as the stars.
No matter how gorgeous the clothes are, they will pale in comparison to this smile.
Zhu Zan reached out and touched his face, muttering something he didn't even know what he was saying, and his eyes had already fallen on Miss Jun.
Miss Jun smiled and looked at Fang Chengyu seriously.
"Didn't we choose this yesterday?" Zhu Zan coughed lightly, "It's too late to change it now."
Fang Chengyu said "oh" with a hint of apology and uneasiness.
"This is my first time entering the palace to see the emperor. I'm a little nervous. Don't laugh at me, brother," he said.
"It's okay, don't be nervous, I'm here." Miss Jun said.
Zhu Zan twitched the corner of his mouth.
"How dare I laugh at you?" he said.
"Okay, the clothes are fine, don't be nervous." Miss Jun said.
Fang Jinxiu and Chen Qi asked Miss Jun to speak. Deshengchang had its own way of celebrating. Fang Jinxiu meant that Jiulingtang should also have its own way of celebrating. They asked her to review everything that was prepared. By the time they came out of the palace, the people would surely have received the news and rushed over.
Seeing Miss Jun walking away, Zhu Zan naturally followed.
"Brother." Fang Chengyu pulled his sleeve.
Zhu Zan turned around and looked at him.
"What?" he asked.
Fang Chengyu looked at him and smiled timidly.
"Tell me what we should pay attention to when meeting the emperor," he said.
"Didn't the Ministry of Rites and the eunuchs tell you yesterday?" Zhu Zan said.
"I was nervous and afraid that I remembered it wrongly," Fang Chengyu said.
"Don't be nervous. She's here. Just follow her." Zhu Zan said, raising his foot to leave.
Fang Chengyu held his sleeve tightly.
"Jiuling is a woman, she is different from us men, I'd better listen to you, brother." He said seriously, "Brother, you often go to the palace, and you are familiar with His Majesty."
Zhu Zan let out a breath and turned to look at him.
"Master Fang," he said, "why are you pestering me?"
Fang Chengyu looked at him.
"You asked me to do this." He answered bluntly, "Brother, have you forgotten?"
Did he say that? Zhu Zan was furious.
Well, he did say that.
"That's not right either," he said. "I asked you to cling to her, not to cling to me."
Fang Chengyu shook his head.
"I know, but you can't do it this way." He said seriously, "If you want Jiuling not to bother you, the best way is not to pester her, but to pester you. Jiuling is a very polite person. When she sees that you are busy, she will not bother you."
He said, shaking hands and smiling.
"Brother, don't worry about what you told me."
Oh my god! Zhu Zan stared, this kid!
He took a deep breath, forced a smile, and reached out to pat Fang Chengyu on the shoulder.
"Little friend, this is what happened. There was something going on at the time, so I need your help." He said, "You don't have to take it seriously, just forget it."
Fang Chengyu shook his head.
"How can I let it go?" he said, "Brother, you are looking down on me. Although I, Fang Chengyu, have no other abilities, I know that a man's words are his to keep. I will never go back on my promise."
You are so cruel! Zhu Zan looked at him and nodded. You have no other skills, but you are really good at pretending to be crazy and stupid.
Fang Chengyu looked at him calmly and nodded.
The two were staring at each other when Miss Jun came over.
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
Fang Chengyu was about to speak when Zhu Zan patted him on the shoulder.
"Nothing, I just want to tell him what to pay attention to when he meets His Majesty," he said.
Miss Jun smiled slightly.
"Forget about it, he can't learn from you." She said, waving to Fang Chengyu, "Come on, we should go."
Fang Chengyu immediately walked over with a smile.
"Thank you, brother." He thanked politely.
Zhu Zan said "oh" and looked at Miss Jun.
"What happened to mine?" he muttered.
"Yours is amazing." Miss Jun glanced at him with a smile.
Was he impressive? He had dealt with the emperor so many times, and he thought he was quite impressive.
Zhu Zan couldn't help but smile, but then quickly suppressed his smile.
Miss Jun was already smiling and pulling Fang Chengyu out.
It would be nice if she spoke nicely, Zhu Zan thought. Although it occurred to him that she had spoken like this before, and it looked indecent, he immediately put the thought behind him.
I told you to get used to the present, so don't bring up the past.
Zhu Zan coughed twice, straightened his back, and followed suit.
Fang Chengyu turned his head.
"Hey, brother, don't send me off or follow me." He said, "I'm worried that if you follow me like this and someone sees you, it will be bad for you."
This little brat! How bad!
Zhu Zan's face froze and he stopped.
Now that they are no longer a fake couple, it would be bad for Duke Cheng if they continue to go out together.
Miss Jun turned around.
"You can go back, don't worry." She said with a smile.
Zhu Zan said "oh" and watched them walk out.
So he doesn't like children at all, especially naughty ones.
…
The emperor also didn't like children, especially girls who shined too much.
At this moment, looking at Miss Jun who was kneeling down in the hall, the eunuch beside her was holding the award document.
After the woman came in, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was not the least bit nervous. Even when she was bowing to the emperor, who was the supreme ruler, her demeanor did not show any fear.
Maybe it’s because I came here last time.
Thinking of the last time, the emperor's expression became even more complicated.
The last time she was rewarded for her fame for vaccination, just over a year later, she became famous again and was rewarded by the county lord.
This woman is so powerful.
If she continues at this rate, who knows what she might do next year and be crowned a princess or a county lord.
The Emperor leaned back in his chair.
Can't give her this chance.
"No need to be polite, just stand up." He said to her with a smile.
Miss Jun and Fang Chengyu bowed again and stood up.
A eunuch first handed Miss Jun's award over, and Miss Jun held it. Then another eunuch came forward and handed another tray of awards to Fang Chengyu.
"In addition, I also wrote a calligraphy for Deshengchang." The emperor said with a smile.
Being able to receive a calligraphy from the emperor is comparable to an imperial edict.
Fang Chengyu and Miss Jun thanked him again.
The emperor motioned for them to stand up. Two eunuchs had already unrolled a scroll with the words "A Family of Good Deeds" written in large gold characters.
Fang Chengyu was extremely excited.
"Grandma will be happy to see this," he said, reaching out to take it.
The emperor suddenly patted the armrest, as if he had thought of something.
"One more thing," he said.
Fang Chengyu stopped and stood respectfully with his hands lowered.
"The imperial edict that the late emperor bestowed on your family was not very convenient to use. Now I give you this one, which is easier to hang and let everyone know about it. It is also more appropriate." The emperor said with a smile.
This one is more appropriate, which means that the previous imperial edict is no longer appropriate.
The original imperial edict.
Miss Jun looked at the award in her hand and realized that it was not given for free.
