Lian Hua's withered little face suddenly burst into radiance as she hurriedly looked up, nodding her head like a pecking chicken, "Yes, yes, yes, Your Majesty is absolutely right."
She knew it, His Majesty treated her the best of all.
"Yes, Your Majesty..." Huang Zude felt somewhat disheartened. His Majesty seemed to have no particular opinion about his actions just now, not even a reprimand, alas...
The Emperor, unaware of Huang Zude's thoughts, firmly took Lian Hua's hand, gently patted it as a form of comfort, and softly consoled her, coaxing her until her eyebrows unfurled and her eyes smiled, sweeping away her pitiful appearance.
It was then that the Emperor said to Huang Zude, "Today's assessment was very good, Doctor Huang. You shall be rewarded. I hope you continue to excel and diligently study The Art of Qihuang. Someone, give the reward!"
