The Emperor's angry shout startled all the civil and military officials in the court.
Just earlier that morning, the Emperor had been in high spirits, occasionally smiling from the corners of his lips and brows.
The royal family had not experienced the double happiness of dragon and phoenix twins in a hundred years, and His Majesty was overjoyed at having a grandson and granddaughter.
This was precisely why the court officials had so boldly engaged in debate, because the Emperor was happy!
After the Emperor left, the officials started to whisper among themselves.
"Wasn't he happy about the joy of the dragon and phoenix twins? Why did he suddenly become angry?"
"Indeed, it's the first time such twins have appeared in the Royal Family, His Majesty should be happy."
"It's because you all were too nitpicky. The Emperor got impatient."
"Clearly it was you who were too harsh, not giving an inch even when you have the upper hand!"
