Chapter 293: The Third Prince Chasing STEM
The posthumous honor granted to the biological mother of the Wise King, formerly Consort An, elevating her to Imperial Concubine Zhao, caused quite a stir in the capital.
After all, simply bestowing a posthumous title upon the Wise King's birth mother out of the blue—even though the Emperor's stated reason was Wise King's meritorious disaster relief—felt somewhat unconvincing.
The Wise King did deserve credit for disaster relief, but the Third Prince had merits too!
Moreover, the Third Prince was the disaster relief inspector this time. Both he and the Wise King lost their biological mothers early. So why, when bestowing posthumous honors, was only Consort An granted a title without recognizing the Third Prince’s birth mother?
There were certainly objections, but when the Emperor had already made up his mind, no matter how many opinions the court officials expressed, Emperor Wei wouldn’t change his decision.
To outsiders, the Emperor’s uneven treatment and favoritism toward his youngest son appeared as things of admiration, feelings of envy, head-shaking disbelief—and some really wanted to know what the Third Prince himself thought.
After all, when it comes to disparities like this, the one most deeply affected should be Third Highness, who is directly involved.
Most people in the capital were secretly guessing that with such unequal paternal affection, even the calm Third Highness must secretly feel a mixture of envy and jealousy.
