Chapter 251: Chapter 251: How Could It Be Such a Coincidence?

At this moment, a loud announcement sounded: "Princess Chaoyang has arrived."

Immediately, a woman hurried in, dressed in luxurious Chinese clothing that displayed her identity. Though she already had her hair arranged in the style of a married woman, she looked young, lively, and spirited at first glance. She came in with a big smile, then gave a very perfunctory bow to the Emperor and Imperial Concubine: "Greetings, Royal Brother."

The Emperor spoke with a heavy tone: "Look at yourself, where is the proper behavior of a young lady? Everyone else has arrived and the feast is about to begin. Not only are you late, but you also show such disrespect."

Despite his words, his face showed no signs of true reprimand.

Chaoyang acted coquettishly: "Royal Brother, today I've spent so much time picking a birthday gift for Imperial Concubine that I lost track of the hour. Please don't blame me."

Only then did the Emperor say: "Enough, take your seat. Zi Ming, you too."
