Shuyuan stood up excitedly, thinking that finally someone had arrived and things were finally going to settle down.
Shuyuan dressed up and went to the front yard to receive the imperial decree. Shuwan naturally went with her. Seeing Shuyuan's undisguised joy, Shuwan smiled inwardly, wondering if she could still smile later.
"...Ulanara Feiyanggu's daughter, Ulanara Shuyuan, has long served diligently in her household. She is virtuous and gentle, and possesses a gentle and kind nature. She is kind and gentle, and possesses a dignified and upright appearance. Her movements are harmonious and graceful. She is skilled in etiquette, and she is respectful and diligent day and night. I am very pleased to hear of her. Therefore, I hereby appoint her as the secondary consort of the Fourth Prince Gong and choose an auspicious day for their marriage. This is my decree."
While the others in front of her didn't react much, Shuyuan's expression changed instantly when she heard "Prince Gong".
When they heard that she was to be a secondary consort or not a primary consort, everyone in the Ulanara mansion who was receiving the imperial decree felt like they were hallucinating.
Even Shu Wan wondered if she had misheard. This was a concubine, and given her father's current official rank, this shouldn't be the case.

Upon hearing this, the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial decree said, "Your Excellency is too kind. Please accept this decree! I'm still waiting to go to the next house!"
Fei Yanggu: "What you say is true, Father-in-law."
Fei Yanggu stood up to receive the imperial decree, and then handed the eunuch the purse containing the silver notes that he had prepared.
"Father-in-law, you've had a long journey. Please accept this money for the drinks."
The eunuch didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly. He felt the thin layer and was satisfied. Then he gave a suggestion: "His Majesty will not make mistakes. You can ask the concubine of the Fourth Prince of Gong's Mansion what happened. I think you will get the answer."
Fei Yanggu understood that this was probably not because His Majesty had insulted him, but because there was another hidden reason.
It seems he'll have to take a look and ask.
Fei Yanggu summoned the steward and escorted the eunuch who was delivering the imperial decree out of the mansion.
