The Emperor burst into laughter upon seeing Yu Ze, "It's been a long time since I've seen you, and you seem to be doing well in this small place."
What was originally a common greeting suddenly sounded boastful to Muniang for some reason. She glanced at the Emperor, and in her heart, she already had a negative opinion of him.
