"What brings the two of you here today?" Princess Wannian asked at the door, clearly indicating she had no intention of letting Chen Xi and Jia Xu inside.
"Since the princess is already in mourning attire, it seems you are aware of what happened at Weiyang Palace. We ask the princess to oversee all funeral arrangements," Jia Xu said with a sigh.
"The Minister of Ceremonies will handle this matter. I am just a woman. I can pay my respects to my brother in the courtyard, just as I did for my father and brother," Princess Wannian said calmly, but her eyes were suddenly filled with tears at the mention of her father and brother.
Jia Xu looked at Princess Wannian, feeling rather helpless. "In truth, we came not only hoping the princess would oversee the funeral but also to ask that during this vacancy of the throne, the princess govern the court to prevent national unrest."
