Chapter 1051: Chapter 1051 The Most Important Gift

Shu Yu looked at the cart full of gifts and finally understood what Xiang Weinan meant with his previous words.

He said that after her Coming-of-age Ceremony, there was no need to worry about County Magistrate Zhang causing any trouble.

Indeed, with just these gifts, not to mention County Magistrate Zhang, even the magistrate of Dongan Province would treat her warmly.

However, Xiang Weinan’s words were not finished.

His expression suddenly turned serious, "Besides the gifts from Lord Qi and Lord Yao, there is one more important gift for the Ceremony."

Shu Yu was stunned; there was something even more important?

More important than Lord Qi’s gift, then...

Shu Yu’s face changed slightly, she suddenly raised her head, her pupils narrowing as she looked at Xiang Weinan.

Xiang Weinan had already stretched his hand out behind him, "Hu Li."

"Yes, my Lord."

Hu Li respectfully presented a finely crafted box made of Zitan wood, covered with a silk cloth, appearing very valuable.

"Monarch Lu Xiang, the Emperor is very pleased with the Heating Pack you presented, upon learning that your birthday is approaching, he specially bestows upon you a Jade Ruyi, hoping that you will have peace and prosperity in the future."

Even before Xiang Weinan’s words fell, the nearby citizens let out a collective ’wow’ of astonishment.

Even, even the Emperor sent a birthday gift? The favor bestowed upon Monarch Lu Xiang is immense!!

Shu Yu was silent for a moment; what favor, surely it’s because of her master’s face.

With the current state of the Emperor’s health, how would he remember who the newly minted Monarch Lu Xiang is? It must be the letter she rushed to send to the capital through Xiang Weinan that reminded him.

Since the letter was delivered to Qi Chan’s hands, the best approach for Mister Qi would be to truthfully inform the Emperor. The conversation most likely mentioned her relationship with the Dongqing Temple master, estimating that the Emperor knew of the unease revealed in her letter, thus casually bestowing the Jade Ruyi.

Of course, it could also have been Qi Chan’s idea.

Anyway, with this Jade Ruyi, Shu Yu indeed understood the Emperor’s intentions, knowing he did not mind her concealing her early recognition with the Lu family.

Even so, Shu Yu still had a surprised and honored expression, respectfully accepting the Jade Ruyi.

Xiang Weinan looked at the box with a tinge of envy and resentment, wondering why Lu Shuyu had such great ability?

People are exiled to endure hardships and suffering; even with money and connections, it’d take three to five years to return.

She, however, thrived effortlessly in the southwest and, in just over half a year, not only was titled Monarch, soaring high, but also gained influential connections.

The problem is that her influential connections still care about her.

Thinking of this, Xiang Weinan sighed softly and said to Shu Yu, "Monarch Lu Xiang, you must not disappoint the Emperor’s regard and expectations."

"The Emperor’s kindness is felt deeply by Shu Yu, never to be forgotten."

"Hmm." Xiang Weinan nodded, "Take these gifts back with you first. Oh, by the way, my gift is also on the cart."

As for which gift it is, he did not say, since the gift box contained a note anyway.

After all, his gift box was smaller, with fewer items, and it wasn’t appropriate to mention them in front of everyone.

Shu Yu glanced sideways at him, didn’t ask further, and turned to call Ying Dong, "Find two people to pull the cart back."

"Yes, Second Miss!" Ying Dong’s eyes were full of admiration; their Second Miss was too outstanding.

Without needing urging, Third Lu dashed forward excitedly, helping to push the cart back.
