After the shock, he couldn't help but worry even more. He was not only worried that the daughter of the Wei family would be the only one favored by the emperor in the future and would bewitch the emperor's heart.

I am even more worried that the young king will be trapped in this stubbornness. If...

Fortunately, he is the future emperor, and no one dares to go against his wishes. No matter how stubborn they are, they can get what they want.

"Your Highness has been in power since he was young. He is benevolent and respectful to the wise. He has made good domestic affairs and has won the hearts of the people. One day he will be a wise ruler whose name will go down in history."

Prince Su, who had not spoken a word, suddenly bowed slightly and said, "But you are now twenty-five and still have no children. This is really not good. I think since you have chosen Wei as your principal wife, shouldn't you also choose concubines and concubines? Only when the harem is full can you have many children."

Speaking of which, Xiao Junzhan, the regent prince, did an excellent job indeed. The only thing that people criticized him for over the years was the harem heirs. Unfortunately, he was adamant and refused to select a crown princess, even though the current emperor forced him several times.

It is conceivable that this time his sudden decree to appoint a concubine caused great turmoil to the court, the people, and even the people of the world.

Prince Su suddenly spoke, and the other two old princes were slightly startled before they echoed him.

They thought that their wise and brave prince was probably in love for the first time, so he lost his sense of propriety and "spoiled" the girl of the Wei family to this extent. When a woman has more experience, she will know that no matter how beautiful and charming a girl is, she is just so-so.

How could Xiao Junzhan not understand what they meant.

He pondered for a few breaths, put down the teacup in his hand, and said in a gentle voice: "I am not a person who is obsessed with lust. I had no one else around me before. Now that I have a woman, it is enough."

"How does this make..."

King Zhao spoke in a hurry, but was interrupted by Xiao Junzhan. He sighed and said, "To be honest with you uncles, if she hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have thought of marrying a wife."

I never married for the sake of marrying a wife, but because it was her, I wanted to marry her...

These words were so straightforward that the three old princes were all speechless.

They could never have imagined that their prince, who had always been as cold and aloof as a hermit cultivator, was actually such a lovesick man.

After a long silence, someone finally spoke.

Prince Su bowed and said, "Your Highness has a plan in mind, and I shouldn't speak rashly... But Wei's daughter is still young, and it may be difficult to have an heir."

"It depends on fate," Xiao Junzhan's expression changed slightly, and he chuckled, "She is indeed young, let's raise her for two years first."

Prince Su: “…”

Is this what he wanted to say?

Why do I always feel like something is being forced down my throat, choking me and making me unable to speak?

When they came, they even thought of persuading His Highness to abolish the status of the Crown Princess of the Wei family daughter and choose another noble lady. At the very least, she should learn to restrain herself and not be so arrogant because of her favor.

Unexpectedly, this trip was worthwhile, at least they got to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was completely different from usual.

This... is simply ridiculous! Xiao Junzhan smiled slightly and said, "Uncles, please go back. The weather is dry and the liver fire is not good for health. You should be more relaxed at your age and stop worrying about my personal affairs."

His nonchalant tone made the old princes feel nervous. After looking at each other, they bowed and left.

At this point, the three old princes' attempts to persuade the emperor were completely defeated.

After Jiang left, Wei Hanzhang went to the side hall to visit Wei Hansu and chatted with her for a while. Seeing that she was not in good spirits, he returned to the main hall.

The sun was shining brightly, so it was not suitable to go out. Besides, the shadow of yesterday's garden tour was still there, so I could only read a book alone in the hall.

The charm of storybooks is that you can be fascinated after reading a few pages.

He suddenly spoke, startling Wei Hanzhang. He said unhappily, "When did you come? You scared me."

"Why are you so timid?" Xiao Junzhan put one hand on her shoulder and patted her gently. With the other hand, he took her notebook and frowned, "Xunxiang Ji?"

"It's just a bunch of miscellaneous books," Wei Hanzhang snatched the book from his hand and said, "You don't even want to control what kind of novels I read, do you?"

"You like rare copies of zither and chess manuals. I have a lot of them. I also have some travel notes and books on flower and herb farming. They are all worth a look." Xiao Junzhan said, "Try to read less of these... storybooks written by sour scholars."

He said it very tactfully, but Wei Hanzhang didn't care. "This book is about a scholar and his experience when he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. It's well written."

The scene where the romantic scholar stayed overnight in a brothel was a bit erotic, but it was not that explicit compared to the scene when he pressed her on the couch and kissed her.

Xiao Junzhan couldn't do anything about her, so he put the book further away and said, "Read it if you want."

Wei Hanzhang couldn't help laughing, but when he thought about what happened in the morning, his smile gradually faded.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Junzhan gently stroked her nose and asked softly, "Ran Ran is worried about something?"

Worry?

Of course.

Wei Hanzhang has a lot of things on her mind, and her biggest concern right now is the man in front of her.

All the girls in the palace today are here for him.

He was the crown prince of the dynasty, and Liu Wanning was not the only one who wanted to offer herself to him. He didn't even need to hook his fingers, he only needed to look at her to make her...

Wei Hanzhang felt a little uncomfortable, and she thought of Gu Yunran again.

When she trusted him the most, she found out that her childhood sweetheart had taken two concubines without telling her. This incident had a huge impact on Wei Hanzhang.

At one point, I was so old that I totally didn't believe that there were any men in this world who understood what loyalty was. It was not until I met Xiao Boqian and learned that in the original plot, he was lonely all his life, without a wife or children, that I was willing to believe him.

Can……

A kiss fell between his eyebrows, and Xiao Junzhan asked worriedly: "Ran Ran, what's wrong with you?"

"I was thinking, my Highness is really popular. Do you know how many ladies came here to 'visit' me this morning?" Wei Hanzhang smiled and said, "They also brought a lot of girls around my age, saying they wanted to keep me company."

What kind of companion?

Xiao Junzhan also thought about what Ning Hai had reported, his eyes sparkling, and he said softly: "Ran Ran, say it again."

Wei Hanzhang wondered: "What?"

"What you said to them this morning," Xiao Junzhan's smile deepened, he lowered his head and kissed her lips, coaxing her, "Tell me again exactly as you said it."

"..." His appearance made Wei Hanzhang feel a little uncomfortable. After a pause, he said, "I don't remember what I said."

Xiao Junzhan said: "Ran Ran said that she wanted you to be the only one in my harem, and she also said that she would never choose anyone for me no matter what."

"Is it not possible?" Wei Hanzhang pursed his lips and said, knowing that he could not hide the matter here, "That's what I think, is it not possible?"

"When did I say no?" Xiao Junzhan took her into his arms and said softly, "Ran Ran cares so much about me, I am so happy that I can't wait."
