Clearly, the Yan Emperor had forgotten this.
"Entering Yanjing?"
"Yes, with that woman and the eldest son of the He Family."
"Ha! Does he intend to bring his bride-to-be to see me? To expressly tell me how extraordinary he, Ji Chengjue, is? That even as a mere constable, some young lady would actively pursue him? Or is he here to flaunt that he's found a butcher's family for me to be in-laws with, so I can benefit from his connection and never lack for meat again?"
Wei Zhonghe's mouth twitched as he struggled to suppress his laughter.
The Yan Emperor sighed and said, "Where is he now?"
"According to earlier reports, he entered the capital at noon."
"Did he submit his token?"
"He has not."
Princes seeking an audience with the Emperor must submit their tokens in advance. Father and son are father and son, but in the Royal Family, they are, more importantly, monarch and subject. Currently, only the Crown Prince has the privilege of requesting an audience at any time.
