The Emperor is not an ignorant child, nor a fool!
On the wedding night, the groom gets drunk?
It's simply absurd!
The guests attending the wedding feast, unless they have a grudge against the groom, wouldn't do such a thing!
Zhou Jin is a transparent figure in the Imperial Palace, almost forgotten by the Emperor before bestowing him in marriage.
But, he is still the Emperor's own son, and having been favored by He Jing, the Emperor decided to investigate.
It wasn't a very detailed investigation, the Emperor only simply learned about his seventh son, who has a humble maternal family, yet did not develop a timid and cowardly nature.
He can't be said to be fully competent, but he's not entirely useless either.
The strongest impression he gives is likely one of elegance and honesty.
For an unspoiled Prince, being simple and dutiful is best.
The Emperor isn't highly satisfied with Zhou Jin, but doesn't particularly dislike him either.
