The Emperor strode into the palace hall with Helian Xuan following behind him.
Everyone called out Long live His Majesty thrice.
The Empress Dowager said in fury, "Emperor, take a look at your subjects. They don't know respect! This is too atrocious."
His Majesty sighed silently. Chunyu was absolutely right, too much pampering has harmed Liu Li. She's already 16. It was time for her to grow up, but she could not do that because the Empress Dowager is fiercely protective of her and listens to no one.
"Chunyu, you are a subject that I heavily rely on. I always feel that you have a sense of propriety and boundaries. Why are you so impudent today? Aren't you going to offer your apologies to the Empress Dowager?" The Emperor intended to help Chunyu resolve this matter.
Xia Chunyu kotowed and said, "Your humble servant is aware of his mistakes. Please, quell your anger, Your Highness."
