Observing the situation, Old Yao by his side sighed silently.
Indeed, His Majesty hadn't meddled with the younger generation's marital arrangements for hundreds of years, but recently, the competition among the emperor's sons had escalated rapidly, moving towards a fever pitch.

The deep marital alliance between the Zhao Clan and Prince De Xin's lineage, once established, would greatly solidify their pact and create an immense advantage for the ultimate victory in the struggle among the emperor's sons.
This move had no issues strategically, but tactically, it appeared a bit hasty, overlooking His Majesty's increasingly sensitive mindset and neglecting the reaction of the Chen Clan, which held high hopes for the Little Princess Xue Ning.
