The Emperor coughed lightly, rather undignifiedly touching his nose as he suppressed the smile that almost escaped his lips. By now, Emperor Qianqing was beginning to understand why Ye Xinyan had such a temperament. Having been raised by such a grandfather, it would be even more outlandish if the child were able to conform rigidly to the norms.
After reining in his amusement, the Emperor felt his voice return to its calm timbre, expressing his displeasure towards Duke An, "Among those present yesterday were pillars of our nation; they should have been afforded some respect, not relentlessly pursued when right. Your granddaughter's behavior was somewhat excessive."
Hearing the Emperor's judgment, Han Yanhui and others immediately felt as though they had found their backbone.
Right, right, look, there's someone sensible, right? His Majesty said: your child's actions were excessive! We didn't dare argue because of your child's threats, but you must listen to His Majesty, mustn't you?
