   It's described as palace intrigue, yet it transcends national interests. I'm currently rereading it; it's an exceptionally engaging and exciting book. The various special scenes are excellent, comparable to blockbuster films, and the hilarious moments are logically consistent. The fifth prince is a simpleton, the emperor is a gossip-loving gossip, and the ninth and sixth princes are two cunning foxes. There's also the second young lady of the Duke's mansion, who is always vengeful. ----------------------------------------------------------- "It's not mine," Li Ce glanced at the child in the physician's arms, disdainfully saying, "My child and Jiao Jiao's child are prettier than this." Just then, he heard the door open again, and Li Ce quickly tried to take the child back, but seeing that it was a maid entering, he put the child down. "I found it," he said irritably. "Found it?" Li Jing looked on with amusement. "Then where's your darling?" Li Ce thought of the beautiful couple at Mingde Gate when he rushed back to treat the child, and suddenly his breathing became labored. "What darling do I have?" He glared at Li Jing, then coughed slightly and sighed, "My darling has been eaten by worms."
