Chapter 723

Soon, the entire process was completed, leaving only the final step: bestowing the courtesy name!

Gao Feng looked at Gao Yang and the officials present and said, "The final step: please, elder, bestow the courtesy name!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the corner of Gao Tianlong's eye twitched.

This moment had finally arrived; he had ultimately failed to escape it.

Upon hearing this, the officials all perked up.

The process of the capping ceremony is about the same; only the courtesy name is different, and they were especially curious about Gao Yang's.

Swish, swish, swish!

For a moment, numerous gazes focused collectively on Gao Tianlong.

They wore curious expressions and quietly straightened their bodies.

Gao Tianlong's face was as steady as an old dog, but he was already cursing inside.

He hadn't expected the turnout today to be so large.

At this moment, he would rather lead a dozen cavalrymen to charge against thousands of iron-clad troops than bestow a courtesy name upon Gao Yang.

"Please, Grandfather, bestow the courtesy name!"

Gao Yang bowed to Gao Tianlong, his voice ringing out.

"Today you have reached the age of twenty and have performed the capping ceremony; now I shall bestow your courtesy name!"

"Since childhood, you have been respectful and obedient, filial to elders, loving to brothers, and by nature upright and pure; you couldn't even bear to step on an ant in the mansion!"

"Therefore, I bestow upon you the courtesy name—Wenhe!"

"I hope that in the future, you will offer strategies for our Great Qian that only harm the 'Heavenly Harmony' and do not harm the 'Wenhe'!"

Boom!

These words rang out.

The officials were all stunned; they widened their eyes, looking at the stern-faced Gao Tianlong in disbelief.

Chu Ningyu was even more dumbfounded; she even doubted her own ears.

What?

Gao Yang, courtesy name Wenhe, and in the future, his strategies will only harm the 'Heavenly Harmony' and not the 'Wenhe'?

Pfft!

Wang Zhong had just sipped some tea and spat it out directly.

He widened his eyes and looked at Gao Tianlong.

Gao Yang, courtesy name Wenhe?

Gao Wenhe!

How could this guy's courtesy name contain the character 'He'?

And only harm the 'Heavenly Harmony' and not the 'Wenhe'!

In an instant, the officials were all shocked.

"Grandson Gao Wenhe, thank you, Grandfather, for the courtesy name!"

Gao Yang bowed again, a smile on his face.

Only harm the 'Heavenly Harmony' and not the 'Wenhe'—how wonderful, second only to Gao Yanzu.

Moreover, this name has a good meaning: live long and have a good end!

The corner of Song Li's mouth twitched first, then he suddenly clapped and said, "Good!"

"A good name! My nephew is pure by nature; using 'Wenhe' as a courtesy name is simply excellent!"

These words caused the officials to look at Song Li with incredulous gazes.

Then, Lu Zhen spoke, "Good!"

"A good name! Wenhe is good; I also think it's not bad."

As everyone spoke, the sound of clapping soon rang out.

The corner of Shangguan Wan'er's mouth twitched, and she soon left the Duke of Ding's Prefecture, heading straight for the Imperial Palace.

Wu Zhao was somewhat curious when she saw Shangguan Wan'er.

"Wan'er, why did you return so quickly? At this time, it's not even mealtime yet, right?"

"Your Majesty, your subject truly couldn't eat anymore. Do you know what Gao Yang's courtesy name is?"

Shangguan Wan'er replied, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

"Courtesy name Wenhe, Gao Wenhe, meaning that the strategies he uses will only harm the 'Heavenly Harmony' and not the 'Wenhe'!"

Wu Zhao: "..."
