Eunuch Xi was about to become an acquaintance of the Wang Family. When everyone saw him come, they quickly set up the incense table to receive the imperial edict.
"By the decree of Emperor Minghua, it is proclaimed that the Wang family possesses qualities akin to jade, with intelligence, agility, a heart to aid the people, and the courage to uphold righteousness. Due to these virtues… the title of 'Jade Village Lord' is bestowed upon Ah Yu of the Wang family. She shall receive an estate with three hundred households as a reward for her merits. Let this decree be respected."
Eunuch Xi closed the imperial decree and looked at Ah Yu, who was still in a daze. He smiled and said, "Jade Village Lord, come forward and receive the decree."
Since the founding of the Great Chang Kingdom hundreds of years ago, there had been many nobles conferred various titles, but most of them gained their status because of their ancestral connections.
