The next day.
Inside the court, each and every one of the officials was behaving in an unusual way if compared to how they used to be. They looked nervous.
All of these abnormal behaviors were led by the unexpected appearance of the Third Prince in the morning court, which he had never attended in the past.
He chose not to stand but to lay on the carved wooden chair right beside him. He then raised his eyebrows and said to them, "Are you all lining up for the bride-show?"
The group of old officials kneeling down there had their own thoughts as they knew that the Fifth Prince had lost his power upon the fall of the Emperor Murong.
If they could bring in their daughters into the palace through the bride-show organized by the Third Prince, then they might be able to hold their position. In addition, they could prove to the Third Prince that they were standing on his side.
