The talk and selection regarding the next Crown Prince lasted for a long time.
As the Emperor never had the intention of choosing someone other than his eldest son, Qin Zhi Xuan as the Crown Prince, he found that it was really hard for him to make up his mind. The son who he had thought would be a good candidate as the next crown prince was not interested in that position.
The Emperor thought that it was such a shame. However, as Qin Zhi Hao had shown that he was not interested in that position, the Emperor could only respect his decision.
After all, he had promised Consort Xian that he would never push their son to do anything that he did not like.
Fortunately, their son, Qin Zhi Hao, had promised that he would continue to stay in Capital City and continue to assist him until he had chosen the person.
