Li Boxuan feared she would get angry, so he comforted her, "Daughter, the Emperor did not mean it that way. He is merely curious. He is a dignified Prince of Beiyang and the only son of the Emperor of Beiyang. If not because of the trouble caused by the Beiyang Empress Dowager, would he have continued to remain a Prince Consort in Zhao Country, willingly being mocked as a mountain villager? It doesn't make sense."
Li Xing'an also said, "Yes, third sister, father and I think the same way. I am just curious too. Why refuse to be an Emperor and instead become a rural lad—becoming our live-in son-in-law, being mocked by the Beijing people? It's foolish behavior, but he doesn't seem foolish."
Li Yuzhu looked stern and said, "Not wanting to be an Emperor and instead running off to be a mountain villager. Our family also has such a person. Third brother, don't forget, our eldest brother left the Crown Prince position to become a farmer in the village!"
