Zhang Dequan glanced into the courtyard and said, "Your Majesty, it’s the Duke."
"Coming to pay respects this early in the morning, fine, let him in." Although the Sovereign had always been at odds with the Duke, considering the Duke’s loyalty this time, he decided to give him a chance to make merit.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dequan opened the door with a smile, but the Duke’s wheelchair went right past the entrance.
Sovereign: "..."
Zhang Dequan: "..."
The Duke was here to accompany Gu Jiao for breakfast, but found that Gu Jiao wasn’t awake. So he had the attendant push his wheelchair back, saying he would come again later.
Seeing the Duke’s wheelchair returning, Zhang Dequan quickly said to the Sovereign, "Here he comes! The Duke must have found the wrong room earlier!"
The Sovereign adjusted his expression, trying his best not to let the straw hat affect his imperial aura.
Then he watched as the Duke’s wheelchair went past his door again...
The Sovereign angrily looked at Zhang Dequan.
Zhang Dequan gave an embarrassed smile.
If only the Duke acted like this, that would be fine. But soon, people in the courtyard woke up one after another, and none came to pay respects to the Sovereign!
The Sovereign’s face became very ugly.
Zhang Dequan laughed awkwardly, saying, "You are traveling incognito, and they don’t know you moved in here, so they don’t recognize you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Empress Dowager Zhuang, who was sitting under the begonia tree eating seeds, glanced at the Sovereign inside the house and asked the little maid beside her, "Hey, does your Dayan Sovereign have no hair? Why is he wearing a straw hat indoors?"
The Sovereign clenched his fists.
Zhang Dequan, I want to kill you!

Gu Jiao’s aunt and the others learned about last night’s events from Gu Chengfeng while having breakfast in the main hall this morning.
Everyone was quite calm.
Empress Dowager Zhuang: Men are all big pig trotters.
Old Sacrificial Wine: Of similar age, but less hair than me.
