A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

"County Master, you may rise!"

Suisui also stepped forward.

Directly bowing to the Emperor, she giggled, "Your Majesty Godfather, it’s been a long time! During my travels, I missed you so much! Did you miss Suisui?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor squinted his eyes with a smile; this little girl truly is a clever one!

"My precious daughter set out on a journey for more than two months. Upon returning, she didn’t come to see her godfather in the palace early on. It’s been two days since you returned to the capital; I suspect the yearning you claim might not be genuine!"

Suisui giggled at his words.

"I did miss, I really did! It’s true! I didn’t want anyone to have this wonderful treasure I got during my travels. I specifically asked my pretty aunt to bring me to the palace to present this gift to you, Your Majesty Godfather!"

The Emperor felt a wave of tension upon hearing this.

His eyes remained fixed on the tray in Xie Pan’Er’s hands.

"What is it?

Show it to Your Majesty Godfather; if it truly is a wonderful treasure, there will be generous rewards!"

Suisui giggled again.

This is what she had been waiting for her Godfather to say.

"If there must be a reward, don’t give it to Suisui. Suisui doesn’t know what to do with this treasure. It was the pretty aunt who saw it and suggested an idea. She said no one in the world would dare keep it privately, not even Suisui. Across the world, only Your Majesty Godfather, the most wise and skillful, who cares for the people, can possess it. So I’m here with the treasure to present it to you, Your Majesty Godfather."

Upon hearing this, the ministers in court became curious; their eyes were also fixed on the tray held by Xie Pan’Er.

They wondered what kind of treasure it could be to make this little girl speak so earnestly!

"Oh! Suisui, you have made Your Majesty Godfather even more curious. What kind of treasure have you brought back from your travels?

Quick, lift that velvet cover and let Your Majesty Godfather see!"

Suisui’s words were so enticing that even the Emperor, who knew the truth, couldn’t help but feel his heart itch!

"Alright, open your eyes wide, Your Majesty Godfather!"

As soon as Suisui said these words.

Xie Pan’Er immediately kneeled and raised the tray high.

Suisui reached out and lifted the velvet cover.

Xie Pan’Er exclaimed loudly.

"The East Yue jade seal was obtained by the Princess during her travels and is presented today to our Emperor of Great Han. May our Emperor unify the kingdom, and may peace prevail in the world!"

Silence!

A deathly silence.

Although the Emperor had imagined countless such moments in his heart, he was still deeply moved confronting it now.

"Congratulations to our Emperor! Wishing our Emperor may unify the kingdom and may peace prevail in the world!"

After a moment of silence, the Imperial Scholar Wei Tai Fu responded and hurriedly kneeled, loudly chanting.

Upon his kneeling, the other ministers naturally followed suit.

One after another, they loudly proclaimed.

"Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to His Majesty, may His Majesty live ten thousand years.

May His Majesty unify the kingdom, and may peace prevail in the world!"

Chamberlain Ling quickly stepped forward, took the tray from Xie Pan’Er, and handed it to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty! It’s truly the jade seal of Dongyue Country!"

The Emperor immediately held the jade seal in his hand, pretentiously declaring.

"Chamberlain Ling! Go fetch the national letters exchanged between Great Han and Dongyue. I will verify its authenticity first!"

Chamberlain Ling hastily left.

Not long after, he returned with a national letter.

The Emperor pressed the jade seal onto it, subsequently nodding, "Indeed, it is the jade seal of East Yue. Daughter, you’ve made a significant contribution this time!"

As soon as the Emperor said this, Suisui giggled, "It’s because of Your Majesty Godfather’s immense blessing, with the people’s support, following the will of heaven!"

Though the little girl was young, her scattered words when combined were all auspicious sayings!

One can only imagine the Emperor’s delight.

"Yes! Well said! Your contribution is immense. Tell me, what do you wish for? Your Majesty Godfather will reward you!"

Shortly after the Emperor spoke, Master Duke Dugu stepped forward, announcing.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor turned his gaze toward him.

"What does Master Duke Dugu wish to say?"

"Your Majesty, the achievement of obtaining the East Yue jade seal by Chang Rongshun and the Princess is indeed significant, but the merit shouldn’t solely belong to them!"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor smiled and asked.

"In your opinion, Master Duke, who else shares this merit?"

Already informed by Dugu Xiao’s family letter, Master Duke Dugu replied, "Your Majesty, I believe a share of this merit should also belong to the County Master of Qingping!"

"The County Master of Qingping?

What does Master Duke Dugu mean?"
