"Zhu Mu asked you three times, and each time you just said yes without hesitation. I gave you a hint, but you didn't even glance at me." Zhu Xiushi replied helplessly.
As a participant at the scene, Zhu Xiushi noticed that Lu Bei did look at her several times, he looked everywhere except into her eyes.
How annoying.
Lu Bei frowned in thought. Indeed, he did nod his affirmation at the time.
During the meeting, Lu Bei did not express any opinion. He neither opposed nor supported.
Because of Lu Bei's presence, the regent altered his usually decisive and rapid approach, and remained silent throughout the meeting. Compared to his usual intimidating demeanor, he was like a mute today.
On the imperial side, it was Zhu Xiushi who handled the negotiations. Occasionally, Zhu Jingli played the role of a military adviser, and the two made decisions after discussions.
