"The princes have come of age for quite some time, and the imperial grandsons have already entered the imperial academy. In recent years, although the princes have not accomplished great feats at court or among the people, they have also not committed major faults. I have given this considerable thought, and it's time to promote the status of the princes. Summon someone to proclaim the decree!"
The Emperor's words were too simplistic, merely suggesting that since they were older and hadn't done anything wrong, it was time to bestow princely titles upon them. It was hard not to snicker inwardly, Couldn't His Highness spare some grandiose rhetoric to give the princes a bit of face?
"Yes!"
