Downstairs, first came a man dressed as an imperial guard leading a contingent of men on horseback.
"Lady Shaohua of the Tianxia Embroidery Shop, this is the plaque His Majesty has bestowed upon Tianxia Embroidery Shop. Please accept it," said the bearer of the plaque, a third-rank official from the inner service.
Even the magistrate of Jiangling had to bow in the presence of the imperial guard.
However, in front of Ye Shaohua, he was exceedingly respectful.
Ye Shaohua raised an eyebrow and accepted the plaque with reverence.
But her expression was remarkably indifferent.
The imperial guard looked at her deeply, naturally not thinking her to be an ignorant woman. Moreover, the Emperor and others had already confirmed that the handwriting on the Magnificent Rivers and Mountains painting was indeed Ye Shaohua's own.
This guard had naturally seen it as well.
