"Yo, another lady disguised as a man!"
"Could she be imitating our Emperor Yuan Zhao?"
"Ha, a woman becoming emperor, such a colossal disgrace to the world, truly absurd!"
At the beginning of Emperor Yuan Zhao's reign, despite ascending to the Dragon Throne with an iron grip, there were still voices of dissatisfaction in the court, all citing ancient and modern etiquette.
Among them, the long-standing aristocratic families were the most prominent, showing only superficial respect to the newly enthroned Emperor Yuan Zhao, while secretly plotting to seize the throne and support a favored member of the Jiang clan.
Having been influenced by this, some idle aristocratic offspring who had yet to enter the court naturally also had little respect for Emperor Yuan Zhao, often making disrespectful remarks in private gatherings.
They didn't even realize they were performing right in front of the person concerned.
