Chapter 1263 - 1072, Fight
As the Emperor’s birthday drew closer, more and more local officials arrived in the capital, taking the opportunity to visit relatives and friends.
Watching plays was something almost everyone loved, so the theater became the best venue for networking and making connections.
The Emperor sat in the private box on the second floor, and before the first play was even finished, he had already noticed many familiar faces coming in and out of the theater.
Looking at the jovial demeanors of the officials, the Emperor snorted: "It seems the lives of the officials are more comfortable than mine. I hardly get a chance to enjoy a play."
Seeing Daomang, the little girl, staring at him with wide eyes, the Emperor chuckled: "This time I’ve managed to come and enjoy a play, all thanks to little Daomang."
The Crown Prince and a few others didn’t dare to respond, and silence fell upon the room.
Daomang grinned and said, "Grandfather Emperor, then let’s come out more often to watch plays."
The Emperor laughed and shook his head: "That won’t do. Grandfather Emperor has state affairs to handle; those memorials on the main hall’s desk all need Grandfather Emperor’s approval."
Daomang’s little face showed an expression of concern: "Grandfather Emperor, you’re working so hard."
Daomiao, who had been quiet since entering the theater, suddenly spoke up: "Grandfather Emperor, with so many memorials, handling them all on your own must be exhausting. Why not find someone to help you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Crown Prince and the others all perked up their ears and, almost instinctively, turned to look at Daomiao, who they usually overlooked.
Daozi, being Xiao Yeyang’s eldest legitimate son, the future heir of the Prince Residence, naturally attracted the most attention due to his intelligence and agility. Daomang was practically the Emperor’s source of joy, and because of the Emperor’s favor, she was always the talk of the town.
