"It is indeed rare, Prince Wu has actually come to attend the early court."
Ever since Dugu Wu's leg became disabled and he took charge of the Ministry of Revenue, he would occasionally cite his physical inconvenience as a reason to miss the early court.
His voluntary appearance today has indeed pleased Dongfang Cheng.
In front of Dugu Wu, he wanted to become the Crown Prince during this early court.
The origins of Dugu Wu were no secret among the princes.
Although he was also a prince, his mother was unfaithful, yet Emperor Yongye heavily favored him over the years, which was obvious to everyone.
All the princes were outshone by Dugu Wu, none could compare in literary or martial virtues.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Li Qing assisted Emperor Yongye in entering the court.
The court officials all knelt down and paid their respects, and Dugu Wu, because of his crutch, did not need to kneel but simply bowed.
