At this moment, everyone quieted down. Manbao stood quietly, waited for a while, and seeing no one was arguing, felt slightly disappointed.
Mingda, on the other hand, was relieved and stood next to the emperor, comforting him.
Everyone's emotions gradually calmed down. In front of the two young girls, they felt embarrassed to continue the quarrel. The emperor gave everyone fifty lashes each and scolded the lords and officials, symbolically deducting several months of their salary, and that was the end of it.
Neither the lords nor the officials from noble backgrounds relied on their salaries to support their families, so they did not take it to heart and agreed obediently.
Manbao, standing aside, thought the punishment was quite severe and realized that fighting in court was not something to be taken lightly.
Not only could one accidentally hurt oneself, but it could also lead to a salary deduction.
