บท 172: Royal Decrees

After dinner, everyone parted and went their separate ways except for Li Chenyang who directed Xueyue into the library. They were seated before a polished wooden table with open books scattered across it.

Li Xueyue curiously skimmed on the open books. The topics ranged from the territories of Wuyi and Hanjian to the different political viewpoints of the countries. These were all books that she was intrigued by but never got around to reading. Speaking of books, she had yet to set her hands on 'The Art of War'.

"When Father came home, he handed me these," Li Chenyang said while placing three separate scrolls on the table. 

Li Xueyue unrolled the parchment, her brows shot upwards in shock. "These are royal decrees!"

"Yes, these were properly obtained and approved by the Emperor, though I doubt he actually looked over them before stamping his royal seal on it." Li Chenyang scowled at the last part, his blood boiling in frustration.
