"Since the matter is to be announced, it's improper for the Fourth Prince, as a royal prince, not to be present."
The Emperor turned his head to De'an, "Summon the Fourth Prince to the hall."
The officials exchanged glances secretly, their expressions varied.
"Your Highness, the weather is exceedingly cold today, you must put on this cloak!"
Xiao Chengzi saw that his master, Prince Jing, was hurriedly changing into his court attire to leave, and he quickly grabbed the cloak and chased after him.
Prince Jing walked briskly out of the residence, indifferent to the cold. He had used the excuse of being unwell to skip court today.
This sort of situation happened frequently, so his father only asked a few questions and then granted permission.
But he hadn't expected that missing today's court would result in such a major event.
His father had urgently summoned him, and Xiao Quanzi said the officials in the court were waiting for him because something was to be announced.
