The grand hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes gleamed as they looked over. Jiaozhou Governor Wei Fang and Ningzhou Governor Wei Ran's gaze flickered as they quickly scanned the hall, noting that while everyone was surprised, it wasn't obvious. There was more curiosity than anything else.
It seemed they were curious if the Eldest Prince would take the Jade Seal.
Mingming wasn't unfamiliar with the square Jade Seal; she often sat beside her mother, watching her use the Jade Seal to stamp papers with a clang.
Because several animals were engraved on it, vividly lifelike, she wanted to play with it, but her mother never let her. Every time she reached for it, her mother would move the Jade Seal away.
Mingming couldn't understand what her mother said when taking the Jade Seal away, but she knew it meant she wasn't allowed to play with it. And the more she wasn't allowed, the more she wanted it.
