Chapter 28: The Young Marquis Who is Blind yet Clear-Headed (16)

There were few people who would dare to say something like "the Emperor is willful," and Yong An, the Emperor's junior, was one of them. After all, when she was a child, she had tugged and plucked the Emperor's beard. And as a young lady, she had even falsely accused the Emperor behind his back to frame him out of personal resentment. She had taken a liking to a court musician and wanted to ask the Emperor for him. At the time, the Emperor wasn't willing to grant her wish, so Princess Yong An brought her complaint right to the Empress Dowager, who pulled the Emperor by his ear and made him give the musician to Princess Yong An.

The Emperor wasn't angered by Princess Yong An's false accusation against him. He was happy instead. As someone in a high position, it had been so long since he'd experienced such valuable kinship, which was why he'd not only given Princess Yong An the court musician then, but also he had given her an additional reward.
