1884 Children’s marriage

The Empress lowered her head to look at The Little Prince. The Little Prince blinked his big innocent eyes and said,”Imperial mother, sleep sleep, sleep sleep.”

The Empress carried her son into the room, took off his clothes and shoes, and put him down.

Every day, he would wake up, eat, go out, and learn how to walk at a fixed time.

The Emperor was very happy to see his son so well-behaved.

He pulled the Empress out of the room and said in a low voice, ” “Empress, you see, our son is so well-behaved! Let him sleep on his own, and we’ll go stroll around the Imperial garden. I feel like I haven’t been able to walk around with the Empress for many years.”

Empress Xue nodded with a smile.

The couple strolled around the Imperial garden together.

There were not many concubines in the emperor’s harem. In the past, other than noble consort Lin, who was more arrogant, the others were very low-key. Now that noble consort Lin had fallen with Prime Minister Lin’s fall, it seemed that only the Emperor and Empress lived in the palace.

The Emperor had not selected women for many years. Every time the ministers mentioned it, he would let the candidates be selected. However, it was not for himself, but for the concubines to choose a wife for his son. Some of the concubines ‘children were still young, and the women were all above 14 years old. How could he choose a wife who was a few years older for his son?

Therefore, after the concubines worked together to send letters to their families and the collapse of Minister Lin, the voices of the Emperor choosing concubines had died down.

Now that the Emperor had chosen the Crown Prince, there was even less of a chance for him to select consorts.

His life with the Empress was also getting better and better.

The concubines who had been favored by the Emperor were either princes or princesses, and almost none of them liked to wander in front of the Emperor.

The young concubines without princes and princesses would appear in front of the Emperor, but he would ignore them. He would often demote their positions, and when there was no position to demote, they would be grounded.

In this way, these concubines completely understood the emperor’s mentality, causing the women in front of him to be either Palace maids or the Empress.

He didn’t mind at all.

Other than Empress Xue, no one else knew the emperor’s thoughts.

He planned to wait until the Crown Prince was ten years old before he began to prepare for his death escape. At that time, he would make good arrangements for the women in the palace. Those who had sons could follow their sons to be Grand concubines, those princesses could stay in the palace for the rest of their lives, or they could go out and live. Those who did not have children could leave the palace if they wanted to, and if they wanted to stay, he would also specially make a place and allocate a sum of money to raise them.

When the time came, he would not force these women to do anything. They could choose for themselves.

The couple strolled around the garden and chatted. As they talked, they talked about the marriage of the princes and princesses.

So far, the fifth Prince, the ninth Prince, the tenth Prince, the eleventh Prince, the fourth Princess, the sixth Princess, the seventh Princess, and the eighth Princess were not married yet.

The eldest, the fifth Prince, was the same age as Gu Nian. He was already twenty years old. The youngest, the eleventh Prince, was already thirteen.

After that, there was only The Little Prince.

From the child’s age, it could be seen that the Emperor had worked hard to be an Emperor during the time when he was held back by Prime Minister Lin and the qu King.

Later, after subduing Prime Minister Lin, he slowly grasped power. He was very perfunctory when it came to the matter of spreading the branches of the royal family.

The Emperor told the Empress that he wanted to marry a Princess to the West, and then marry a Princess from the West for the fifth and ninth princes.
