Emperor Yan watched Ah Jiu's departing figure from the hall for a long time before he spoke: "I couldn't tell, Ah Jiu is quite the romantic fool."
Having achieved such great merit, he only thought of requesting a title for his wife, yet in the eyes of others, she wasn't truly recognized, as the two had not properly married.
But Ah Jiu simply acknowledged her, even using such achievements to legitimize her. If not a romantic fool, then what?
Eunuch Lu smiled apologetically and said, "The Prince is indeed full of emotion and sincerity."
"Full of emotion and sincerity." Emperor Yan repeated these four words with a chuckle: "He understands the word 'emotion,' so why can't he understand me?"
Eunuch Lu broke out in a fine sweat on his forehead and dared not respond, but luckily, Emperor Yan no longer pursued the topic and turned to reviewing the memorials to the throne.
As for Ah Jiu, he continued to feel Emperor Yan's gaze piercing his back even as he stepped out into the sunlight.
