"Reporting to the Emperor, actually, this is a misunderstanding. Xiao Ba was arrogant and displeased the lady of Duke Zhen's Mansion. After returning, I also reprimanded her."
Ge Yuan smiled slightly and bowed to the Emperor, expressing his apology.
"I heard about this matter. The Princess is straightforward in nature; I actually find her candid and adorable." The Emperor took a sip of fine wine and waved, his face showing an expression of helplessness and fondness, as if dealing with a youngster's antics.
