Consort Hui's face darkened. "Is this the Emperor's will? The First Prince and my Second Prince are not young anymore. When the First Prince and Second Prince were the same age, the Emperor had already married Empress Xiaocheng."

"Shouldn't the eldest and second princes arrange for the princesses serving in their rooms to be chosen as wives as soon as possible?"

Consort Hui questioned her repeatedly, and Xu Lejin's expression froze. She looked at Consort Hui with icy eyes.

After a moment, Xu Lejin said coldly, "Is Consort Hui questioning the Emperor and me? The Emperor is considerate of the First Prince and the Second Prince's hard work in studying and practicing riding and archery. He doesn't want the First Prince and the Second Prince to be disturbed by their romantic feelings."

"As the birth mother of the Second Prince, shouldn't Consort Hui be thinking about his future?"

With a burning gaze, Xu Lejin stared intently at Consort Hui.

Consort Hui opened her mouth, then swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She was inwardly furious. If she had known the Emperor wouldn't allow it, she should have acted first and informed him later, selecting several young, fertile women from the families of court officials and arranging them for the princes' quarters.

now……

Consort Hui sat in the main seat, her face full of anger.

The Noble Lady Suochuoluo, who was sitting below trembling with fear, rolled her eyes and said softly, "Your Majesty, the emperor forbids the lower ranks from following the example of the superiors, but Your Majesty can arrange for a daughter from a noble family to serve our Second Prince in the Prince's quarters."

"Our Second Prince is wise and brave, and has shown extraordinary talent since childhood. Now that he has grown up, if he were to give the Emperor a grandson soon, the Emperor would surely be overjoyed."

Consort Hui hesitated for a moment.

"you mean?"
