What exactly is the relationship between our eldest son and the Empress?
This is a sensitive topic in the Zhao family, no matter how rampant the rumors in the Capital, they remain unverified "gossip".
Moreover, as family members who know Zhao Douan well inevitably know more, You Jinhua and Zhao Pan privately lean towards believing that this matter is unreliable.
The chance of it being a case of misinformation was significant.
But today, Xu Zhenguan, taking advantage of the night, personally came to the Zhao family and boldly sat down to dine with them.
The implications of this act already slightly exceed the boundaries of emperor and subject.
Well, if the Empress went to places like the Grandmaster Mansion, it would be a different matter to dine with ministers such as Dong Xuan.
But officially, Zhao Douan's highest rank is merely that of a fourth-rank martial officer.
"Mr. Zhao's family dinner is indeed lavish."
