Prince Wu had not expected such a matter to fall upon his head. First, he was startled, then immediately rose to make an excuse. Was the Inner Palace a place he could go to?
Prince Wu hadn't even opened his mouth when he heard His Majesty speak first, "Prince Rong does make some sense. Now that all of you are about to start families, it's time to take on some serious responsibilities." With that, he turned towards Prince Wu, "Third son, you and your seventh brother need to diligently manage the marriage arrangements of your younger brothers."
Prince Wu dared not refuse, and could only step forward to comply, "This son will carefully follow the Father Emperor's decree."
The Father Emperor's words also meant something. By putting him in charge of his younger brothers' marriages, it implied that he could not interfere with other matters. He did not want to be involved anyway and heaved a slight sigh of relief deep inside.
