However, the new duke still had a place to sit, and it was beside the Emperor's soft couchThe Crown Prince and the other princes still had to stand and listen closely like studentsFan Xian felt pretty goodHe thought to himself that he was practically the royal brothers' teacher
The Emperor and many officials talked about the overly heavy snowfalls in the South, the situation in the North, and the auspicious signs in the gardenThey then began to hand out food
