Capítulo 1344: It's Already Rumored Outside

The Emperor's joy was palpable, and he showered the Crown Prince with lavish praise and a plethora of rewards.

The Crown Prince, known for his generosity, held Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan's contributions in high regard. Moreover, with everyone heaping praises on Princess Consort, he couldn't have been happier since applauding her was akin to praising himself.

Additionally, the rumors had already circulated beyond the palace, leaving him with no choice but to embrace the story and not embarrass his Princess Consort. This only deepened his sense of guilt.

His heart ached for Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, especially when he witnessed Shao Yunduan's tireless dedication to his service without a single complaint. The Crown Prince felt compelled to offer some consolation.
