"Oh?" Wei Hanzhang heard the hidden meaning in her words, looked over and said with a smile: "Madam Sun, do you have any good suggestions?"

"... This," the lady of the Earl of Yongyi made her smile slightly paused, and she was a little hesitant, but the words were suspended in the air, so she had to say: "What this subject means is that if you feel lonely, you can ask the girls from our families to keep you company. In any case, the palace is empty, and it is better to be lively than to be lonely."

Hearing this, even Jiang's expression darkened.

This almost makes the purpose clear. Do you really think that Ranran in their family is young and easy to coax?

Wei Hanzhang's expression did not change. Hearing this, he simply said, "That's not necessary. I'm not a child. I don't need someone to keep me company."

She drank a sip of tea politely and said, "Besides, I don't like crowds. I get a headache easily when there are too many people."

"That's wrong. How can you not like excitement?"

Qi Yuxiao, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly interrupted and said, "As the Crown Prince's wife, you need to recruit concubines for your uncle and raise children so that the royal family can have many children. If the Eastern Palace is deserted, that would be inappropriate."

Who doesn’t want many children, let alone the royal family?

Instead of flowers blooming in the backyard, it is deserted?

Is that reasonable? Qi Yuxiao thought she had caught Wei Hanzhang's fault, and with a playful smile on her face, she sneered, "Miss Wei, if you like loneliness, why do you want to marry into the royal family? The royal family wants many offspring and a full harem. You don't want my uncle to be the only wife, do you?"

Her words were like a question. As soon as she said this, the inner hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

One is the only daughter of the eldest princess, and the other is the newly crowned Crown Princess.

They are all royal family members, and no one dares to get involved in the fight between gods.

Wei Hanzhang also remained silent for a long time. She frowned and lowered her eyes in silence for a long time, then raised her hand to stop Jiang from trying to smooth things over.

Looking at Qi Yuxiao below, he said softly: "What if I say that I really think so?"

Although her voice was very soft, the room was quiet, so her words were not missed.

Suddenly, as if a drop of water was splashed into a hot oil pan, the whole hall exploded.

Wei Hanzhang looked at them quietly, their expressions either panicked or incredulous, without saying a word.

"Ridiculous!" Qi Yuxiao stared with astonishment, "As a royal wife, how can you be so jealous? You are the only wife in the Eastern Palace, and you dare to think so!"

Wei Hanzhang smiled and said, "Why not?"

She knew that what she said was extremely outrageous in this era, and she had never intended to say it openly. But now that she had started, she didn't intend to cover it up. After all, this was the fact.

You think I shouldn't even think about it, but I not only think about it, I also try to do it! Just as he was about to speak to them directly, his right hand was held by Jiang Shi beside him. Wei Hanzhang looked over and saw his mother's worried expression and shook her head carefully at him.

Jiang was worried that her daughter might say something outrageous in a fit of impulse, which would displease the prince and cause dissatisfaction among the court officials.

She had heard her daughter say before that she was the only future husband she could have, but she didn't expect that after finding the crown prince as her husband, her daughter's mind had not changed at all.

How can this be done? Even if His Highness loves me deeply, a woman should not become arrogant due to the favor.

Wei Hanzhang had a lot to say, but was stopped by his mother and could not say anything.

However, the few words she said before were enough to shock everyone.

Even Qi Yuxiao looked at her as if she were a monster, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course I know." Wei Hanzhang tapped the armrest with his fingertips and said calmly, "Speaking of which, I am also your uncle's wife-to-be. Miss Qi keeps calling me yours. I don't know where she learned this rule."

"You still know that you are my uncle's wife-to-be!" Qi Yuxiao said with a strange expression, "You are relying on your favor to become so arrogant?"

She almost laughed out loud. After the imperial edict to confer the title of Crown Princess was read out, she had been uneasy for a few days, fearing that this Miss Wei would gossip in her heart and make things difficult for her in the future.

But now I know that she is not a vixen at all, but a complete fool.

She actually dared to say such outrageous words openly by relying on her favor, but she didn't know that no matter how favored a concubine is in the harem, she can never make decisions for the emperor. Although her uncle has not yet ascended the throne, he already has real power.

A man who can make the whole world submit to him can only endure the thunder and rain. When will it be his turn to have a woman to be his master?

"You're still being so arrogant?" Qi Yuxiao raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Do you know that if your words today get out, it's doubtful whether you can keep your position as Crown Princess."

"Since I dare to say it, I have the confidence."

Wei Hanzhang sat upright, not panicking at all. Instead, he smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "You can say I am jealous or arrogant, but I can't stop His Highness from taking concubines in the future. But if you want me to take the initiative to choose someone for him, then I can say that it is absolutely impossible."

The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, and the word 'absolutely impossible' was resounding and full of determination.

She was naturally beautiful, and today she dressed more conservatively in order to meet the ladies. She had intricate flowers drawn on her brows. The hall was well lit, and her snow-white skin was clearly visible, as crystal clear as a carefully carved jade figure.

Not like ordinary people.

Everyone in the hall was shocked one after another and even felt dazed.

I just wondered, after getting such a beautiful woman, would His Highness really take concubines? Suddenly, a crisp sound of porcelain was heard, breaking the silence in the palace.

Liu Wanning, who had been keeping a low profile and had never spoken, accidentally broke the teacup.

"Sister Liu, are you okay?" Qi Yuxiao, who was not far from her, suddenly came to her senses and asked repeatedly, "Why are you so careless?"

"I'm fine," Liu Wanning gently brushed her hand away, stood up and bowed deeply to apologize: "I am a disrespectful minister in front of the palace, I hope Miss Wei will not take it personally."

She still looked a little dazed, and looked quite pitiful.

After spending these days together, Wei Hanzhang came to realize that Xiao Boqian, who looked gentle, was actually a very arbitrary person. He would never allow his private affairs to be checked by court officials, unless he liked her. Otherwise, even if she was generous enough to force him to accept another woman, he would not be willing.

In fact, they were not wrong about this. No one could be more powerful than Xiao Boqian...
