Even Master Zuo and Master Dugu were surprised, to say nothing of Feng Yanfeng!
It was especially the case with Master Dugu, who had had his eye on the manor for a long while, but Feng Wu somehow ended up taking it.
The chief steward still hadn’t finished reading the imperial edict.
The emperor bestowed a traveling tent on Feng Wu.
And a Ferghana horse.
And a divine bow.
And…
All of them were great honors and could be very useful when they arrived at the Senal Grassland!
They were all status symbols.
The Feng clan was surrounded by a lot of people, and everyone looked at Feng Wu in disbelief.
Before today, they had all been criticizing Feng Wu and found her annoying because she had lost His Majesty’s favor, but it had only taken Feng Wu a day to get her status back!
Feng Yanfeng was so distressed that he thought his eyes were going to fall out.
He looked at Feng Wu in disbelief before turning to the chief steward with an expectant look.
If His Majesty had rewarded Feng Wu so generously, did that mean that he could get his job back?
However, Feng Yanfeng waited and waited, but didn’t hear the words he was hoping for even when the chief steward finished reading the edict. He panicked.
“Sir —” Feng Yanfeng stopped the chief steward, who had rolled up the imperial edict and was ready to leave, and asked, “Is that all?”
“Not really.” Seeing the eager look in Feng Yanfeng’s eyes, the chief steward chuckled. “It’s just that… Since you yourself said that Feng Wu can have all the rewards and punishments to herself, there’s no need to read the part that was meant for you.”
“What?”
Feng Yanfeng paled and was dumbfounded.
For some reason, the chief steward unfolded a section of the imperial edict and let Feng Yanfeng took a peek before putting it away.
Feng Yanfeng was speechless.
He really was going to faint!
There was indeed a reward for him in the imperial edict. Although it wasn’t a ministerial position, it was good enough. It was a post as a second-ranked commanding officer at a border city. It was a job that would make a lot of people envious…
Feng Yanfeng thought he was going to lose his mind!
The chief steward even reminded Feng Yanfeng on his way out, “I’m going to put this second-ranked post for you on hold, Master Feng.”
Feng Yanfeng was still feeling dumbfounded even when the chief steward left.
A second-ranked official located in a border city? That position was second only to Northern Feng General!
The Junwu Empire valued martial virtues more than civil ones, so that job was almost as good as the minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel.
However —
He had just lost such a wonderful opportunity!
Feng Yanfeng had never regretted a decision so much.
The chief steward didn’t lower his voice when he said that, so everyone heard it. Right now, they were all giving Feng Yanfeng strange looks.
They could still hear Feng Yanfeng in their ears, declaring that Feng Wu had nothing to do with the Feng clan, and that she could have all the rewards and punishments to herself!
That was so frustrating.
Feng Wu couldn’t care less about Feng Yanfeng’s feelings, and she left after taking the imperial edict.
Feng Yanfeng wanted to say something to Feng Wu, but he hesitated.
The chief steward couldn’t be any more obvious with his hint. If Feng Yanfeng still wanted that job, Feng Wu was the key.
While Feng Yanfeng’s family was feeling distressed, Feng Wu felt very relieved.
Perhaps Feng Wu’s medicine was too potent, but the empress dowager had already woken up.
