He seems to have always been like this.

Like an observer.

Even though this matter was related to him, he didn't care much.

He wasn't too worried when his mother, the Empress, fainted.

Even if he should have appeared anxious at that moment.

But he didn't.

The prince's reputation was not actually that irreplaceable in Dai Viet.

Although I didn't do anything wrong, it seems I didn't accomplish anything significant either.

At most, one can gain a reputation for virtue.

Apart from that, there's nothing else.

Just as Jiang Rong was sizing up Han Ling, the other woman seemed to sense her gaze, turned her head, and looked at her.

Then... he smiled at her.

Just for a fleeting moment.

Jiang Rong felt her heart beating much faster.

Yoho, I've seen it in her eyes, he's the man she's set her sights on.

They couldn't wait to see how infatuated the other person would be with her.

That look must be incredibly alluring!

The Crown Princess hanged herself on the big tree outside Qiuwan Palace.

This matter naturally alarmed the Emperor.

Whether it was the Crown Princess attending the Empress's banquet, or the fact that she died in the palace.

It was still because of the request for the Wan Palace.

It was impossible not to alarm the ill-tempered Emperor of Yue.

This was also the first time Jiang Rong had met the Yue Emperor.

Majestic, handsome, and gloomy.

The bluish-black discoloration in the center of the forehead is likely caused by prolonged headaches and pressure.

Judging from this, he probably doesn't have a very good temper.

And this has proven to be true.

"Empress, I entrusted this palace to you, and this is how you manage it? The Crown Princess died in the palace! Empress, if you can't manage this harem, I will find you an assistant."

If he had a good temper, he wouldn't have scolded the Empress so harshly the moment he saw her.

This is happening in front of noblewomen and many young ladies!

They really didn't give the Empress any face at all!
