This incident kept Song Yunzhao amused for several days. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the eleventh month. Before the twelfth month began, the snow disaster had finally come to an end. It was inevitable that some of the old, weak, women, and children would not survive, but overall, the death toll was much lower than expected.
The Right Minister, Grand Tutor Qin, and Song Nanzhen—who had once again been involved in disaster relief—all received high praise from the Emperor in court.
But this time, the stingy Emperor offered only verbal praise with no substantive rewards.
Song Yunzhao wasn't surprised. Her father was being watched by Grand Tutor Qin and the Right Minister. The Emperor certainly didn't want to promote either of them. They could rise no higher in their official posts, but there were still Merit Official titles—honorary titles bestowed upon courtiers who had made significant contributions to the court.
