Song Zhiyuan arrived at Yangxin Hall to meet the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Song is here," Eunuch Zhou reminded.
"Let him in."
As Song Zhiyuan walked into the great hall, Emperor Chu just put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand and greeted him, "You've come at a perfect time, take a look at how this character is written."
Song Zhiyuan approached, and a character "Loyalty" written in clerical script presented itself on the paper, the brush strokes powerful enough to nearly penetrate the paper, solemn and meticulous.
"Magnificent and grand, Your Majesty's calligraphy is, as always, a rare treasure."
Emperor Chu raised an eyebrow and said, "Shall I bestow this piece upon you?"
The brow of Eunuch Zhou behind them twitched as he looked at Song Zhiyuan.
To bestow the character "Loyalty", what underlying meaning could this have?
Song Zhiyuan was somewhat surprised too, then cupped his hands and said, "I thank Your Majesty for the bestowal."
