Unexpectedly, the imperial decree from His Majesty soon arrived!
Delivering the decree was a eunuch whose eyes crinkled happily as he gave his congratulations again and again, politely making a fist in salute to the imperial consort the Empress had sent.
Seeing that Su Pan'er was about to kneel to accept the decree, the eunuch stopped her promptly.
"His Majesty said that Mrs. Qin, being pregnant, is specially allowed to accept the decree while standing!"
Accepting the imperial decree while standing, what a great honor this was!
When these words from the eunuch came out, almost everyone's eyes landed on Su Pan'er — envious, surprised, curious; all sorts of looks converged on her.
Su Pan'er felt very surprised herself!
Didn't His Majesty treat Qin Yi too kindly?
Apart from Su Pan'er, everyone else knelt to accept the decree, and the eunuch recited the decree with a casual smile.
