"Is this the reason why the Emperor doesn't like the Empress?" Sun Kui thought this was just one of the reasons. The real reason the Emperor didn't like the Empress was that she was never content.
"It must be." Sun Doudou became more enthusiastic as he spoke, though his voice was low, "The Empress is quite arrogant at heart, nowhere near as gentle and virtuous as the late Empress."
Sun Kui nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, the Empress is not as good as the late Empress."
"The Empress is inferior to the late Empress in every way, yet she still tries to emulate her." Sun Doudou joked, "Isn't that like ugly East Shi imitating the beauty Xi Shi?"
Sun Kui gently tapped Sun Doudou's head with the horsetail whisk, playfully scolding, "You cheeky lad, your courage is growing, daring to mock the Empress."
"Master, I'm just saying it to you, not to anyone else." Sun Doudou smiled ingratiatingly at Sun Kui, "Master, do you think what I said makes sense?"
