In order to ensure the long-term prosperity of the Chi family, he had only two choices in terms of marriage: one was to marry a girl from a small family, and the other was to marry into the royal family.
Emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times, and Chi Qian'an understands this.
"Your Majesty, I left the capital at a young age. I don't know any connections within the capital, nor do I have any...girls I admire."
Jiang Ji's eyes flickered. "In that case, I intend to betroth several of my princesses to you as your legal wives. Tell me which one you like, and I'll grant you a marriage!"
Jiang Ji has four princesses. The eldest princess, Jiang Qiao, born to the Queen, is the most spoiled; the second princess, Jiang Roujia, born to Concubine De, is ordinary and doesn't like to go out; the third princess, Jiang Caiyin, born to a palace maid, is sickly for many years; the youngest princess, Yongning, born to Concubine Zhu, is the most favored.
Jiang Ji has two candidates, Jiang Qiao and Jiang Shuhuan, but he is most satisfied with Jiang Shuhuan because Jiang Qiao has brothers. If Chi Qian'an marries her, if Jiang Yanchuan returns to normal, the Chi family will inevitably want to support him.

Chi Qi'an heard a hint of threat in his voice. What was to come would eventually come. "I wish to remain single for my entire life. I only wish to guard the frontier. I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish!"
He will never marry someone he doesn't love, nor does he want to ruin someone else's life!
Jiang Ji tapped his fingers on the table. "Alright, let's discuss this later. The banquet is about to begin. Come with me!"
Chi Qi'an frowned slightly, which meant he didn't agree. He didn't understand why the emperor was so wary of the Chi family, which was full of loyal and brave people.
"yes."
