The Imperial Guard General opened the imperial decree and began to read.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor hereby decrees that the Lord Grand Judge of Dali Temple is rewarded for his meritorious service in quelling disturbances. He is specially granted the title of Prince of a Different Surname, allowed to ride on horseback within the palace, and exempted from bowing when meeting me, with the title passed down through generations without change."
The Imperial Guard General did not know what was written on the decree and was quite frightened after reading it. Being conferred the title of prince was expected; the Lord certainly held a high and important position.
However, being allowed to ride inside the palace and not needing to bow was unprecedented, as far as she knew. Such a status had never before existed in the Hong Yan Dynasty; their lord was certainly the first.
Ling Tianyu simply listened casually, not caring at all. Such rewards were external matters to him.
