Chapter 427: Still Young

"How can it be a small matter? General Xiao's long-lost daughter is coming of age. This is a huge joyous occasion. Coincidentally, the decree is about to be conferred today, so I might as well come along."

"Everyone, get up. Today is a family banquet. There's no need to stand on ceremony."

Even so, the officials who came to freeload did not dare to move at all. Who would dare to act rashly in front of His Majesty… Heh, there really was!

The people from the Gu, Shen, and Xiao Families really got up and pulled out stools. Gu Chang'an even asked, "Has His Majesty eaten?"

The Emperor waved his hand readily. "No, give me another seat. Come, Dezi, announce the imperial edict before dinner."

They suddenly felt that the Xiao Family was even more doted on than before.

Who else could make His Majesty come personally to announce the decree?
