"What, isn't having the Eldest Prince enough for me, or are you cursing the Eldest Prince?"
"I dare not!"
The old minister spoke in fear as he directly kowtowed.
"Let me tell you, the Empress is expecting again, so why should I hold a selection? The memorials piling up every day are mountainous, who among you can share the burden?" the Emperor said. "I think you all are too idle. Court is dismissed."
A fit of anger, indeed very angry!
The Emperor left in a huff.
He urgently needed to return to see the Empress.
"I have seen the Emperor," said the concubine.
"Zitong, no need for formalities, stand up quickly," the Emperor said, not allowing the Empress to crouch down as he promptly helped her up. "I heard you're unwell, are you feeling better now?"
"I was crouching for a while playing with the prince and got dizzy upon standing up. Both the Imperial Physician and Mr. Xiao have checked, and I'm fine."
