Capítulo 693: Chapter 693: Your Show Is Over

Even if he felt tempted to say, 'Princess Zhenming, you're so attractive. I wish to take you as one of my concubines', he would absolutely refrain from saying it in front of the imperial concubines and courtiers.

Among those in attendance, most were veterans of the political game. They made their living by discerning the Emperor's intentions. Given a mere look or gesture from the Emperor, they could decipher his wishes.

And this sister was a princess from a neighboring country.
