This was actually very funny part of the story to me even though I did not understand 70% of the flowery speeches. I always thought the serials played out the court chorusing too simplistically with everyone just eyeing WXB to see what to say. So it turns out that the script is pretty much what happens in the books but could not convey that the officials all knew it was an act between WXB and KX. Just couple more generations of these political savvy folks with no original ideas will bring down any dynasty!
