Bab 640: 271: Eating inside and out

"Your son... didn't come for that reason." Yan Junchu had a hesitant look on his face, "It's for something else."

As long as it wasn't about leading the troops, the Emperor's face relaxed, "What else could make you this distressed, tell me."

"Father, is it time to choose royal consorts for my younger brothers?"

The Emperor glanced at the Crown Prince before slowly saying, "It is the age to get married. What kind of image does it convey if we keep procrastinating? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Yan Junchu's brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed as if realizing something, and then spoke like he was weighing something, "Before, Father, you said that I should get along well with the Crown Princess. It isn't right to just bring someone new into the Eastern Palace as soon as she's wed."

The Emperor was a bit surprised by this, "Who said the Eastern Palace needs more people?"

"Isn't that what you meant?" Yan Junchu asked in surprise.
