Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

In the imperial study, the emperor was suddenly visited by the crown prince again. After hearing the crown prince's explanation, he looked at him with a sharp gaze and asked, "Why did you suddenly postpone the selection?"

The prince has no wives or concubines in his palace yet, and it was originally scheduled that the selection would be held in March of next year.

The prince had not objected before, and the emperor did not expect the prince to do this today. The emperor could only guess: Could it be that the candidate in the prince's mind is still young?

The emperor silently went through the families of the ministers in the court for suitable candidates, but still couldn't figure out who it was.

The prince replied respectfully: "I want to consider marriage two years later. Father is still young and strong, and it is not time for him to have a grandson."

The emperor felt relieved after hearing these words and felt that he could work for a few more years!

She pretended to be angry, "Don't talk nonsense, marriage is a major event in life! It's just choosing a princess, not letting you get married right away!"

The prince spoke seriously, "Yesterday, I didn't have anyone I liked."

What he said implied that he couldn't make his choice and he looked down on any of them!

Compared to the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince who were exposed to women too early, the Crown Prince was still ignorant in this regard, and all the beautiful concubines bestowed upon him by the Emperor were sent away.

In the Prince's Palace, being an honest palace servant has a better future than being a decoration!

The prince's straightforward words did not anger the emperor, but instead amused him. "Yesterday, the queen told me that she was overwhelmed by the choices, but when it comes to you, she doesn't like any of them?"

"They are all so boring, their beauty is soulless." The prince's words resonated strongly with the emperor.

He often felt that he lacked a confidant!

As a man, the emperor felt that he had realized the truth.

He frowned, "You can decide on the candidate for the Crown Princess first. There are so many positions in your palace. If you see someone you like, you can slowly take him in."

Haha, he doesn’t want any!

The prince was desperate, "Father, if you like any of them, just tell me. I don't want to choose any of them!"

As long as he doesn't want to, no one can force him to agree!

This brings us to the agreement between the emperor and empress back then.

Although the emperor was the eldest son at that time, the previous emperor favored the imperial concubine and even planned to depose him and appoint another prince as the crown prince!

Can the emperor tolerate this? Of course not.

So he joined forces with the Queen's family, overthrew the Imperial Concubine, and brought down her son.

As the only legitimate daughter in the family, the queen married the emperor even though no one else was optimistic about him.

This is a timely help.

Everyone thought that the emperor and the empress were deeply in love, but that was not the case.

The queen is just a tiger trapped in the boudoir. There are only two conditions for her to help him: one is her unshakable position, and the other is her son's freedom of marriage.

The emperor at that time agreed, and the emperor now still intends to fulfill his promise.

He sighed, "It seems that your mother will be disappointed..."

The prince quickly said, "Don't you have a little son?"

Can that be the same?

The emperor gave the prince a look.

The prince looked back: How is that different?

never mind--

The emperor gave up guessing and gave one last reminder, "If you miss next year's draft, when you decide to get married, the choice may not be what you want..." He said meaningfully.

The prince didn't care at all and smiled back, "I believe that my father will make the decision for me!"

The emperor was shocked, "You are sure that you can defeat your father, right?"

"My son, please retire!"

Before the memorial was thrown at him, the prince quickly stepped out of the imperial study and disappeared from the emperor's sight.

Children are debts!

The emperor sighed, called Chang De, and went to the queen's palace.

That night, the emperor rested in the queen's palace, causing countless beauties in the harem who were eagerly waiting to see him to bite their embroidered handkerchiefs into pieces.

As the emperor grew older, he no longer liked to come to the harem.

Especially when there are many things going on in the court, he rarely comes here a few times a month.

Sometimes, he would only sit for a while and then rush back to review memorials.

Even role models are not as dedicated as the emperor!

The annual winter hunting activity lasts for a week, including the round trip time.

The emperor had already decided on the candidates for his entourage, and the empress had also planned the candidates for the trip from the harem.

As expected, it’s the same group of people from last year.

The emperor and empress's carriage was in the front, and the prince's carriage followed behind.

The queen did not take the tenth prince with her, but arranged for two confidants to take care of him in the palace.

Now that the queen is gone, it is no longer the turn of the concubines. The selected concubines stay obediently in the carriage and dare not cause any trouble.

The princesses and princes who went with them stayed with their mother, while Chen Jia rode in the same carriage with the crown prince.

The carriage was spacious and comfortable. It was equipped with seats, cabinets for storing things and soft couches for resting, as well as silver charcoal for heating.

This charcoal is a tribute from the emperor. It burns quietly without emitting any choking smoke.

Chen Jia also received a quota of silver charcoal every month, which was certainly not as much as the prince's. He took it at will without having to calculate carefully.

"It's so warm!" Chen Jia put down the warm hand warmer, stretched out his hand to warm the fire, and naturally sighed: "It's so good to follow the prince brother!"

You can warm yourself by the fire anytime and anywhere without having to pay attention to your posture all the time.

The prince, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "With the way you eat, wear and use, I don't think anyone can match you!"

He forced a smile, but it was not a smile at all, and his voice was as cold as the winter day.

Chen Jia squatted beside the brazier and warmed herself, not taking it seriously. "I'm leaving my life as a princess with luxurious clothes and delicious food behind to go to the prince consort's house to help with poverty? Am I crazy?"

She sighed, feeling a little hot, and moved back a few steps, which was just the right distance to warm herself by the fire.

The prince said inexplicably: "When you reach the age of marriage, we will consider the candidate for your husband——"

Chen Jia shook her head, ran back to the prince in three or two steps, squatted at his feet, looked up, and asked curiously: "Brother Prince, is there a law in our dynasty that punishes women who don't marry at the age of fifteen?"

“…No.”

"Is there any woman who never marries?"

"Yes, not much."

"Then why should I consider the candidate for the Prince Consort?"

The prince stroked her long hair gently, "Don't you want to?"

Chen Jia shook her head honestly, "I don't really want to..."

The prince did not change his movements, and said leisurely, "That's still something I'm thinking about."

Chen Jia quickly shook her head, "No, not at all."

"Why?"

The prince looked at his messed up black hair and used his fingers to comb it.

"Brother Crown Prince, you are so weird!" Chen Jia grabbed his hem and pulled it, as if it was a matter of course, "Why are there so many whys? Brother Crown Prince, do you think I am a burden?"

He openly or secretly complains that she is a waste of money. Is he trying to send her away early?

Chen Jia became alert and held the prince's right hand tightly, "Brother Prince, I don't want to get married! Please don't send me away, okay?"

Especially, don't let her marry!

The prince pulled out his hand and held hers, his eyes dark, "Jiayue, remember what you said today."

If you forget, haha.

Someone who was in danger without knowing it, smiled foolishly as if relieved, "Then Prince, you must remember this, too. Don't forget it!"

The prince nodded condescendingly, as if he was in great trouble.
