As expected, the Crown Prince and the two princesses were impeached; however, the Crown Prince, being used to such matters, didn't worry, and the two princesses didn't take it to heart.
Because the memorials never reached them, the Emperor directly suppressed them.
If the censors only impeached the Crown Prince, the Emperor would turn a blind eye, letting the Crown Prince argue with them. But to impeach his two daughters, what reason is there for that?
He directly told his ministers, "Isn't the land under heaven the royal domain? My empire is my daughters' home. Should they be criticized for eating in their own home?"
Wei Zhi originally didn't involve himself in this matter. The princesses, though breaching etiquette, didn't cause significant harm, so he neither wrote a memorial of impeachment nor stopped his subordinates from doing so.
But the Emperor's words were quite domineering—what does it mean that the world is his family, allowing the Li Clan to do whatever they wish?
