A small theater unrelated to the main text:
His Highness the Second Highness (complaint): I received a letter from my attendant today. You molested my maid.
His Highness the Second Highness (complaining): I received a letter from the eldest maid today, saying that you have molested the empress of the cold palace.
His Highness the Second Highness (complaining woman): I received a letter from the secret guard today. You have charmed my sister.
Li Changsheng: "..."
Li Changsheng: "..."
Li Changsheng (storming): "Second Mu, please wake up!!! How old is your sister!!!"

His Highness the Second Highness tore off the petals: "Did Changsheng miss me today? Yes, no, yes, no... Yes, no."
His Royal Highness: "The petals of this flower are missing. Let's start over with another one."
His Royal Highness: "Yes, no, yes, no..."
Li Changsheng: I am addicted to raising children and cannot extricate myself.
Maid: Should I remind His Highness that these flowers have even-numbered petals?
Intent: My lord, he is a fool.
