"Is it some unfavored young lady in the palace who is using the title of princess to climb the social ladder?"
"My advice to you is, go back to where you came from!"
His tone was full of contempt, and he didn't even bother to use honorifics.
Yuan Zhao entered the palace in a hurry today and did not change into a formal dress. However, although what she wore was not gorgeous, it was not impolite for meeting the emperor.
But these royal guards had no respect for her and denied her identity without even asking about it.
Gan Tang was furious and was about to show Yuan Zhao's token, but was stopped by Yuan Zhao.
She was not angry, and her expression was calm. She only asked in a faint voice:

Yuan Zhao withdrew his gaze, glanced lightly at the soldier blocking the way ahead, and curled up the corners of his lips, revealing an ambiguous smile.
