After finishing his conversation with Su Yingxue, Chu Jinling hastily returned to his seat and began organizing the materials she had provided.
He had a cheerful smile on his face. With all this material, he could easily write another two volumes!
He was so engrossed in his sorting that he didn't even notice someone shouting about the arrival of the Ninth Prince.
When he finally snapped out of it, the others had already paid their respects to Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan's behavior over the years had been consistent. He would nod to Chu Mingyuan and then, under his disapproving gaze, calmly take his seat.
Apart from Chu Mingyuan, Chu Yihan commanded the utmost respect. This fact even left the empress no choice but to acknowledge it.
Considering the hierarchy of their seats, the empress's position was lower than that of Chu Yihan.
