Isn't this shortening his lifespan?
Zhao Yao quickly returned the salute while telling Mr. Meng, "This is not appropriate."
The Emperor was very cunning; he only went over to help Mr. Meng up after he had finished saluting Zhao Yao.
"Mr. Meng, you're giving such a grand salute to little Ten, it's more than he can bear."
Sun Kui, serving as a background figure in the corner, muttered in his heart after hearing the Prince say this: Your Majesty, why didn't you stop Mr. Meng before he saluted His Highness Ten? Saying this only after he finished seems a bit too late, doesn't it?
Zhao Yao nodded repeatedly, agreeing with the Emperor: "I cannot bear it." After speaking, he returned another salute to Mr. Meng.
Mr. Meng hurriedly helped Zhao Yao up, looking at him with kind eyes and said, "Your Highness, please rise quickly."
Zhao Yao stood up straight and gave Mr. Meng a well-behaved smile.
