Emperor Chujing grilled Chu Hengyuan with several more questions before finally letting him go. He then moved on to discuss the arrangements for the visiting dignitaries. After what felt like an eternity, Emperor Chujing chuckled and abruptly ended the conversation with his sons, dismissing them to return to their residences and rest, with further discussions to be held at tomorrow morning’s court session. Only then were Chu Hengyuan and the others able to take their leave.
"Congratulations, Sixth Brother, on finding a good match. If you need any help, just come to my Prince's Estate and say the word. After all, I’ve been through it; if there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask," Chu Hengyu said, offering his sixth brother sincere well-wishes. With their sixth brother’s birth mother having passed away, it was only right for him to support him. He would speak to the Queen about it tomorrow; as the Empress and their stepmother, it was her duty to make these decisions for the Sixth Prince.
"You’re always such a soft-hearted person. If Sixth Brother has questions, he can go ask Eldest Brother too!" Chu Hengyue only targeted those brothers who were vying for the throne with him. He didn’t consider Chu Hengyuan a threat, so there was no need to be hostile; by doing him a favor, he could maintain a good reputation in the eyes of their father.
