The pillars of the court: Chair Consort??!!!
Your Majesty, your life was even more exciting than ours!!
Were three thousand beauties in the Imperial Harem still not enough for you?!
You wouldn't even spare the dragon throne!
They had thought Censor An doing that to a dog marked the limits of humanity. Who knew their horizons could be broadened yet again!
Censor An: I was young and reckless back then, and I didn't succeed, all right?!
The pillars of the court: What, you wanted to succeed?!
Censor An: "..."
How would I dare compare myself to His Majesty?!
His Majesty succeeded!
Even the dragon throne had been made a consort!
Emperor Deyuan: "..."
Censor An: Don't forget, there's also someone who drank dog's milk!
The stooped minister of the Court of Imperial Stud, who was over sixty and had indulged himself with three concubines after drinking dog's milk: "..."
Old An, are we still best friends or not?!
Censor An: Brother Yan, it's precisely because you're my best friend that I'm having you help draw some of the gossip fire!
Yan Jingwei, minister of the Court of Imperial Stud: "..."
The pillars of the court: If you drank dog's milk, shouldn't you call the dog Mother?!
The minister of the Court of Imperial Stud: Absurd! Why don't you call a cow Mother when you drink cow's milk?!
Weren't we feasting on the dragon throne gossip?
Could we stay focused, please?
The pillars of the court: Yes, yes, back to the topic. Lord Blue Balls really does have a nimble mind. Even discussing state affairs doesn't get in the way of enjoying gossip!
The Grand Secretary, aka Blue Balls: You flatter me.
Emperor Deyuan: "..."
The afternoon court session took a break for the time it took an incense stick
