"Ah... What my beloved minister says is completely true. My daughter is marrying the Crown Prince, so when the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, you will become the father-in-law of the emperor, a true imperial son-in-law. There is no doubt about that. What a pity! I have only three sons. The second son has a rebellious disposition, far less steady than the third. The third son is already married; surely I cannot have the Second Princess marry into the Eastern Palace."
Li Hongyun laughed bitterly and shook his head, returning his focus to official business.
The Empress's personal wet nurse stood nearby, her face wreathed in smiles as she chimed in, "Indeed, Your Majesty. You have only these three sons. Now that the Crown Prince is older, it is indeed time for him to settle down and establish a family and career."
