Quick Wear: This is my wife

Chapter 424 Prince VS Little Brother 24

Now, since there is no queen in this palace, according to common sense, this flower viewing banquet should be organized by the queen mother.

However, the current empress dowager was only appointed in times of crisis and has no real power. The key point is that Emperor Fu Runze has not given her any real power.

Fu Nan thought strategically, then nodded and said, "In that case, I will go back and discuss this with your aunt. You should try to deal with those old ministers first."

Fu Runze's eyes rolled, and he said tentatively, "Little Uncle, I'm afraid many of the ministers' daughters of marriageable age will want to enter the palace to accompany the emperor. I have to take care of the affairs of the former court and balance the disputes in the harem... What do you think, could you take care of the affairs of the court for a few days so that I can take a break?"

His words were filled with fatigue and helplessness, as if the position of emperor was really a tough job for him.

Fu Nanzhan frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "Well, I'll make a decision after I have discussed it carefully with your aunt. In fact, if you are so inclined, you can establish a queen as soon as possible and give birth to a prince. When the prince grows up, you can carefully nurture him for more than ten years. Then you can abdicate and enjoy the blessing of leisure."

Fu Nanzhan was about to mention that the prince could review memorials at the age of ten to gain some experience, but then he thought about not harming the motherland's flowers, so he swallowed his words.

Upon hearing this, Fu Runze seemed to understand something, yet his doubts deepened. He raised his eyes and asked, "Little Uncle, you are absolutely right. Why haven't I thought of this before? No, when you supported me to ascend to the throne, didn't you already have this in mind?"

Fu Nanzhan's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought to himself that Fu Runze was becoming more and more perceptive.

He remained calm and said slowly, "Don't let your imagination run wild. If it were really as you suspected, why would I have gone to such great lengths to help you seize the throne?

Wouldn't it be great if I could just let your third uncle and the others take his place, and I could be a free and easy prince?

Think about it, if you failed to ascend the throne, given their character, how could they allow you to live in peace?

Everything I do is for your sake. You are the emperor destined by heaven. Do not think of anything else and simply obey your destiny."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry without waiting for Fu Runze's response.

Fu Nanzhan thought to himself that it was important to get away first. If he could fool Fu Runze now, and he realized what was happening, he would not be able to escape.

He must be crying to himself about how miserable he is. It would be better for him to run away quickly, go back to have dinner with his husband, and do some exercise. How nice.

This emperor is not even worthy of being an emperor. He sleeps later than a dog and wakes up earlier than a chicken. He is controlled by his ministers every day. Is he crazy to want to be an emperor?

Fu Nanzhan is still wondering when he will no longer have these tasks so that he and his wife can live a life of wealth and leisure!

Fu Nanzhan hurried back to the palace, stepped into the gate, and without taking a break, went straight to where Xiao Yubai was.

Seeing Xiao Yubai's handsome face, Fu Nanzhan hurriedly told him to prepare for the flower-viewing banquet that would be held in the palace.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yubai's face immediately became troubled, her eyes filled with anxiety and uneasiness. She stammered, "This... I've never hosted a palace banquet like this before, and I'm completely clueless about all the complicated details involved. My husband, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."

He thought to himself that he was still in the process of figuring out the various affairs in the palace, and now he had to take on the responsibility of hosting a palace banquet. What should he do?

Seeing him like this, Fu Nanzhan quickly comforted him with gentle words: "Don't worry, there are experienced aunts in the palace who will help you manage the affairs. You just need to pay attention at the banquet to see if there are anyone you get along with."

He knew very well that Xiao Yubai was kind-hearted and was afraid that he would feel stressed because of this heavy burden, so he hurried to comfort him.

Xiao Yubai was still full of doubts, frowning slightly and said, "What's the point of selecting concubines for His Majesty if I see whether they are compatible or not?"

In his opinion, the matter of selecting a concubine did not seem to have much to do with him, and it was difficult to understand the deep meaning behind it.

Fu Nanzhan smiled faintly, reached out and gently scratched his straight nose, and patiently explained, "In the current royal family, there are only Ziyao and I. As for the people in his harem, you will probably have to spend a lot of time with him in the future. Naturally, you have to find people who can get along with you harmoniously. Otherwise, if someone deliberately opposes you and causes you trouble and obstacles, what should you do?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Xiao Yubai was still looking confused.

Xiao Yubai bit his lower lip, still feeling a little uneasy. "But what if the person I choose is not to Your Majesty's liking?"

He felt like he was drawing water from a bucket, his heart was beating fast, and he was afraid that he would make a big mistake if he was not careful.

Fu Nanzhan shook his head slightly and said calmly, "No. Your Majesty currently has no favorite woman or boy. This time, he is selecting a group to enter the palace, just to stabilize the situation in the court."

After that, Fu Nanzhan carefully analyzed for Xiao Yubai the changing situation in the court, the delicate balance of forces among various parties, the many power struggles and interests, and the complex relationships.

Xiao Yubai was so confused by what he heard, as if he was in a fog. But he finally understood that this selection of concubines was just a temporary measure to appease the ministers in the court.
