Instead, he had magnanimously handed the Supreme Authority of Regency over to him.
Lu Mingyuan could guess that his father, the Emperor, was afraid of giving people reason to gossip.
'If he undermined me right after I became Crown Prince, sharp-eyed officials would surely notice and write memorials about it.'

It was not something that could be accomplished in a short period.
It had taken Prince Jin, Lu Guangjing, twenty years to build the Endless Pavilion to its current scale.
