The Prince of Beiping, Wenren Qiao, arrived outside the imperial palace and sent someone to inform the emperor that he had brought gold to donate to the Imperial Treasury. He told the emperor to come meet him at the palace gates.
Wenren Luoshui had thought, I'm already arrogant enough. But compared with her own father...
Her antics were child's play at most.
Who would brazenly demand that the emperor come see him in front of so many people?
Still, this worked out nicely. They could donate all ten chests of gold in full view of everyone.
When the emperor heard that the Prince of Beiping was outside the palace gates, he rubbed his forehead. Why did being emperor mean dealing with so much trouble every single day?
Before long, the emperor's and the princess's palanquins appeared at the palace gates.
"Why is the Grand Princess here too?"
After telling everyone to rise, the emperor immediately spotted the Grand Princess. His expression did not change, but his tone was exceedingly cold.
So what if the Grand Princess was his aunt?
He was the one sitting on the dragon throne now.
And the girl her grandson had humiliated was his own daughter!
If she could indulge her family's children in disparaging his daughter outside, she could hardly blame him for no longer respecting her.
Naturally, the Grand Princess heard the displeasure in his voice. Without changing her expression, she apologized to him directly.
At her age, what hadn't she lived through?
Although the emperor was her junior, offending him would do her no good.
If she apologized first and he still refused to let the matter rest, people would only say that the emperor was petty.
The emperor watched the Grand Princess, who was throwing her seniority around, with a cold expression.
