Although the emperor was in his prime, according to previous rules, it was necessary to ask the emperor's opinion.
In fact, emperors of many dynasties began to prepare for their afterlife while they were still alive.
When Daji heard his voice, she frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty is in the prime of life. Let's talk about this kind of thing a few years later."
