To say one doesn't want to catch Your Majesty's attention when performing in front of everyone is false.
However, desiring attention is useless; Your Majesty is about to sleep, no matter how beautiful the performance, it seems to spark no interest at all.
The Empress had to nudge him a few times to keep him from truly drifting off.
Some ministers even planned to seize the moment for a toast or so, but seeing Your Majesty's drowsy demeanor, they refrained.
The left and right chancellors of the Ministry of Revenue and the right chancellor of the Ministry of Justice are really embarrassed at this moment!
The entire court knows very well what they're attempting—simply trying to win over Your Majesty's favor, aren't they?
Yet now, Your Majesty doesn't even glance, and even nods off.
This whole scheme of yours is doomed to fail.
If Your Majesty doesn't favor them, if there's a future marriage negotiation, any wise family would steer clear of these intentions.
