Legend of the Building (I)
Editor: Transn
When it came to idiots, there were two people in Chang'an who liked to scoff others by calling them idiots. One was the emperor of the Tang, and the other one obviously turned out to be Ning Que.
However, His Majesty ridiculed people aboveboard and boldly, regardless of the varying situations, while Ning Que was used to make cutting remarks when chatting in private with Sangsang, totally demonstrating his quality of being petty. Consequently, he felt very excited to outrageously mock Chao Xiaoshu as an idiot together with His Majesty in the Imperial Palace, spluttering with exhilaration.
The word "idiot" could be heard repeatedly and constantly in the quiet hall. It amazed and amused Her Majesty, the palace maids, and eunuches, provoking them to smile surreptitiously behind their hands. Nevertheless, the scene was more or less embarrassing. Her Majesty winked to her maid to leave the hall quietly along with all the other maids and eunuches.
