De'an felt that Prince Jing seemed to have some prejudices against the Emperor, while the Emperor was accustomed to expressing concern in a reprimanding tone.
Though they were clearly father and son, they behaved as if they were strangers. However, Prince Jing's calm demeanor today was somewhat puzzling to De'an.
In the past, if Prince Jing grew impatient, he would have already taken his leave.
Seeing Prince Jing being as silent as a saw-mouthed gourd this time, the Emperor's face slightly improved, and he changed the topic.
"What I previously mentioned about selecting a consort for you, the list has been given to you for review; do you have anyone in mind?"
In fact, the Emperor could have simply arranged the marriage himself, who in the Dayan Dynasty would dare to object?
Yet, the Emperor insisted on allowing Prince Jing to choose for himself, a decision that truly shocked the Ministers.
Only Prince Jing had the honor of personally selecting a consort.
