My Reason for Calmness Chapter 121

Several old officials left, and Gavin couldn't help but ask Elijah, "Are you tired?"

Elijah picked up a cup of amber-colored pear blossom liquor, drank it slowly, and sighed, "In front of ministers, you always have to pretend to be nice." The emperor positioned himself as the Son of Heaven, the descendant of the gods, so he would naturally hold himself to the standards of the gods. The Zhennan Palace was the overlord of one side, and could be considered a local emperor.

Elijah smiled, a loving, holy, lily-like Madonna smile.

Gavin reminded him, "You'd better be consistent in what you say and what you do." Not everyone can adapt to suddenly changing from a bandit to a compassionate Bodhisattva.

"Yes, in the past, when I was young, I could still use excuses like 'young and ignorant' or 'young and frivolous', but now I am getting older and older, so I have to let the officials have a new understanding of me." Elijah didn't understand Gavin's words at all, and smiled, "I haven't pretended like this for a long time, and it feels a little strange."
