Capítulo 688: A surprising title

One by one, the representative of every family stepped forward and received the documents, from Chi Wei, shook hands with the emperor and took a picture with him. 

The Jun's were given the rank of duke, which came as no surprise to anyone because of how their family was already ranked among the aristocrats. If they had been given a title less than that one, it would be a shame. 

When her father's name was called, Chi Lian paid keen attention, waiting to hear what title he would be bequeathed.

Minister Chi Rui loudly announced, "The new Marquis Chi, of the second rank." 

"Woohoo!!" Chi Lian cheered and stood up abruptly and then, she started clapping enthusiastically. The titles were being awarded with plots of land in various cities, and she wondered where they had been given.
