Zhou Shuren shook his head, "The household registration is almost complete, and it went very smoothly. I am wondering why he is making such a fuss about picking a consort for the Fifth Prince."
The Emperor's several maneuvers made it clear that no intelligent noble family in the capital would want to marry their daughter to the Fifth Prince. In ancient times, these daughters from great houses were valuable assets in marriage alliances, not something to be squandered.
So what was the Emperor's intention?
Zhulan had heard as well, "It's probably because he's afraid the Fifth Prince won't find a main wife. Miss Lin had attempted suicide at her wedding banquet, which has made finding a suitable main wife difficult. The Crown Prince took over the task, I suppose."
