No one dares to forge the Imperial Decree!
That would be a capital offense!
Fully aware of this, they finally believed it; then, they felt as if the Emperor of Xiyun had gone mad.
To actually appoint a woman as an official!
How could this be?
Of course, these were the thoughts of the men present.
The women present, however, were green with envy towards An Jing. Not only had An Jing given birth to quadruplets, but despite being a woman, she had been appointed as an official. She had become the first in each respect, and regardless of An Jing's performance in office, her name would be recorded in history, honored for generations to come.
Inside the courtyard, as soon as the bearer of good tidings had finished reading the Imperial Decree, An Jing merely said as a formality, "This humble official receives the decree and shall not disappoint the Emperor's expectations."
