Chapter 626 - The Xie Family’s Good Daughter

The ministers had trouble speaking what they had in mind.

If it was not for the emperor’s excessive love and indulgence for the Crown Prince and his disregard for his physical defects, they would not be so stubborn and go against the Crown Prince all the time, right?

“Your Majesty, that Xie family was born a bandit. If we let his daughter enter the East Palace, wouldn’t the bandits in the world be even more arrogant?!” A bold person shouted at the top of his voice.

“Bandit, bandit! Are you blaming me for letting a bandit become an official?!” The emperor snorted, “I see that General Xie is much more sensible than all of you! The Xie family was also responsible for the establishment of the country back then. If it weren’t for you guys mentioning that his identity was inappropriate, this person would’ve been given the title of a noble! He has already atoned for his crimes and made meritorious contributions. His sins have long been forgiven. Don’t mention it again!”

What a joke. His son had lived for so long and had never had any desires. Now that he finally spoke up and wanted to marry a princess consort, how could he stop him?!

Moreover, he had heard of the Xie family’s young lady before!

Earlier, the empress had said that the young lady was extremely beautiful and was a sensible and obedient child!

It was just that at that time, the Xie family’s status was low, so it was not appropriate to point it out to the Crown Prince.

However, the father and son of the Xie family were all capable people now, especially that Xie Pinggang. He was young and capable, so he would definitely be a loyal minister by his son’s side in the future. Why should such a family be shunned?

Since the Crown Prince liked the Xie family, the emperor was praising the Xie family at the moment.

He had completely forgotten that when this bandit chased away the barbarians and entered the capital, he angrily scolded all the officials and soldiers in the court for being useless. That was why he had no choice but to give Xie Pinggang an official position and shut the mouths of all the people in the world!

“Your Majesty, if you insist on choosing this woman as the Crown Prince’s Princess Consort… It’s possible. It’s just that… you should also choose two side consorts who are sensible into the residence! It’s to prevent the Xie family from going over the line and ignoring the courtesy in the imperial court if the Princess Consort is the only one who is favored.”

His words were brave. The others held their breaths and waited for the Crown Prince’s reaction.

“I think you’re the one who is ignoring the courtesy in the imperial court.” As expected, the Crown Prince spoke. “I heard that your parents are kind and loving, so you don’t have any illegitimate brothers?”

“Yes.” Master Yan did not understand.

“How can your mother take care of such a big residence alone? If you value her too much, then wouldn’t your external family rely on the protection of in-laws and act recklessly? I think that it’s inappropriate. Why don’t you send two good and beautiful concubines so that you’ll have two more aunts?” The Crown Prince said again.

Once he spoke, Master Yan almost fainted from anger.

He was an aggressive person. “Your Highness! How can this be the same?! I merely came from an ordinary family. You are the Crown Prince of the East Palace!”

“If my future children find out that Master Yan has spent so much effort to bully their mother, they will remember you forever.” The Crown Prince’s tone was indifferent. “I have yet to take a wife, and all of you are helping me arrange for a concubine. It must be tough for all of you to put in so much effort for me. Why don’t you all send more concubines to your daughters who have gotten married when you return, showing your love for your son-in-law.”

His Highness was unreasonable!

Did they not mention it already?

The Crown Prince was the treasure of the country, so it was reasonable for him to take a concubine, right?!

“I’ve been busy with cases all day, so I don’t have the time to deal with concubines. It’s enough to appoint a Princess Consort now. If you still think that it’s inappropriate…” The Crown Prince thought about it seriously. “Then let Mo Chusheng be the Princess Consort, and the young lady of the Xie family be the side concubine, alright? That should be enough, right?”

The group of ministers were going out of their minds.

Each of them had a look of refusal.

That Taoist master was so many years older than the Crown Prince!

It was already a headache for him to have either of these two by his side, yet he wanted the both of them?!

How could they have any words to refute?

“Ministers…” Everyone exchanged glances. “The Xie family’s good daughter will be the Princess Consort.”
