Upon seeing the person kneeling on the ground, Princess An Le sneered, "Since you know you have offended me, you should be aware of the punishment for such an offense. Now, kneel here for half an hour."
Kneel for half an hour?
Liang Xuelin immediately collapsed on the ground.
At today's banquet, there were numerous princes and nobles coming and going. What if someone saw him kneeling here...
Moreover, Liang Xuelin was well aware that those who treated him kindly today were only doing so out of respect for Concubine Liang. They merely exchanged pleasantries and didn't actually respect him; in their hearts, they looked down on him. They even resented his overly high-profile display today.
If they saw him punished and kneeling, wouldn't they revel in his humiliation and ridicule him?
"Princess An Le, please forgive ..…" Liang Xuelin opened his mouth to explain.
"Add another half an hour." Princess An Le's languid voice sounded again.
