As long as he doesn't marry a woman from the Prime Minister's Mansion and doesn't arrange a concubine for him, everything will be fine.

The emperor looked at Lu Huaiyang and saw that he was not hiding anything. What he said was roughly the same as what he had found out, so he let down his guard.

I think, even if there is any hidden secret, it is not important.

The emperor sighed and said, "In this way, this matter has been properly arranged."

As the emperor spoke, he looked deeply at Lu Huaiyang and couldn't help but ask, "This matter is over now, what about the future?"

Lu Huaiyang understood what the emperor said, but pretended not to understand. He kowtowed deeply to the emperor and said, "From now on, I will do my best to share your worries, father, and will not make you worry again."

The emperor sighed, looked at Lu Huaiyang with some doubt, and couldn't help but say: "Seventh Brother, do you really intend to stay with your princess for the rest of your life and not take a concubine?"

"One principal wife, four concubines, eight concubines, noble concubines, and good concubines share countless rooms. This is the ancestral rule."

"Others are afraid of exceeding the ancestral rules and giving too much, but you only want one? There are so many good women, and the family can help you, you..."

"Father, I do not wish to hurt the princess's feelings."

Lu Huaiyang bowed to the emperor again and said, "As for the Xie and Xue families, Your Majesty, please know that if the harem is not stable, neither will I be safe."

"I will use my strength to convince them to obey me and follow me. There is no need for such diligent tactics."

The emperor glanced at Lu Huaiyang with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

But Lu Huaiyang's look and expression were indescribably calm and serious!

The emperor glanced at him for a long moment before nodding solemnly, "In that case, I'll give you two years."

"If within two years, the Prime Minister and his faction pledge allegiance to you, and you can also achieve military merit, I will not mention this matter again!"

"If you can't do it... I will find you a suitable concubine when the time comes!"

Lu Huaiyang bowed again and said, "If you can't do it, then I don't have the ability to take on this important task. Please find another suitable brother!"

"you……"

The emperor was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Huaiyang angrily.

I thought he was going to have a fit, but unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly looked up and burst into laughter.

Lu Huaiyang was also stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look up at the emperor.

What does it mean?

Could it be that the emperor was... so angry with him that he lost his mind?

The emperor looked at him, not knowing whether he was trying to save face or was genuinely pissed off by Lu Huaiyang. “You have some courage and insight, and you have the demeanor of my youth.”

"In that case, I'll see how you perform."

"But...besides this, there's another condition for loneliness!"

The emperor's expression and tone became stern.

Lu Huaiyang knew that something important must have happened.

Lu Huaiyang raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then said sternly, "Please give your instructions, Father."

The emperor said solemnly, "The reason I indulge you is because of Ping An."

"Your princess has raised the child very well. The child is also smart and will be of great use in the future!"

"However, if you want to inherit my position, it might be a good thing if you can live in peace and without any conflicts with your half-brothers!"

"But one child is too few. He must have brothers and sisters. Your princess must give birth to more children."

"If you don't give birth to another boy within two or three years, I will choose another candidate for the crown prince. You can do it on your own!"

This is already an imperial decree, not something to be discussed with him.

There is absolutely no room for maneuver.

After hearing what the emperor said, Lu Huaiyang fell silent for a moment.

Looking at the emperor, he was speechless.

"Did you hear what I said?" The emperor looked at Lu Huaiyang and his tone became more serious!

"Your son knows, your son understands!"

Lu Huaiyang kowtowed to the emperor and said, "My son's princess lost her health in the countryside a few years ago. Once she recovers, there will be good news. Please don't worry, father."

The emperor nodded: "Well, you are both still young, and... your relationship is harmonious, so having children is only a matter of time!"

"This is already the greatest tolerance I can give you. Don't disobey me again, otherwise..."

"I understand, and I will definitely live up to your trust!"

After hearing Lu Huaiyang's assurance, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, there's no need to say anything else. Please leave."

Lu Huaiyang left the palace.

After returning to the palace, Ye Nanyue could see that he was in a bad mood and seemed to be thinking about something.

Ye Nanyan was a little puzzled and couldn't help but move closer to him and asked, "What's wrong? Did your father give you a hard time?"

Lu Huaiyang shook his head. "The Prime Minister went to the palace last night to ask for his resignation from the Emperor, and has already decided to cancel the engagement."

Ye Nanyan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's a good thing."

Now that the emperor has spoken, the matter is settled.

They don't have to worry anymore.

"Well, that's a good thing." Lu Huaiyang said.

Seeing his expression, Ye Nanyue felt something was wrong: "If it's a good thing, why are you unhappy?"

Lu Huaiyang's brows knitted together, and when he looked at Ye Nanyue, his eyes couldn't help but show a bit of helplessness: "In that case, I'm afraid this matter is quite tricky."

"What do you mean?" Ye Nanyue was puzzled and looked at Lu Huaiyang in confusion.

Lu Huaiyang glanced at her with a deep gaze: "Do you really want to hear it?"

"Well, I want to share my husband's worries." Ye Nanyue said.

Lu Huaiyang sighed and told Ye Nanyue the emperor's words asking her to have a baby.

Ye Nanyue was originally expectant, but after hearing what Lu Huaiyang said, her expression became a little strange.

It looked like he didn't know how to start speaking for a moment.

A little uneasy and a little confused.

The moment he lowered his head, he felt even more guilty.

Lu Huaiyang just waited quietly, without saying anything and without asking any questions.

He knew that Ye Nanyue had taken contraceptive pills.

When the imperial physician came for the first time, the physician gave him some advice when he was seeing the physician off.

It was just a matter of the inner chamber, so the imperial physician didn't dare to say much.

Before taking Ye Nanyue's pulse, he also told the imperial physician that if there really was a problem, he should not tell her in front of Ye Nanyue, so as not to make her worry too much, which would have a bad effect on her health!

After hearing this, the imperial physician did not mention the matter in front of Ye Nanyue.

He didn't know why Ye Nanyue did this.

Ever since she ran away with Lin Xiuwen and Lu Huaiyang caught her, she has completely changed and turned over a new leaf.

In the past, I was just possessed by a ghost.

That's why.

What now?

Why don't you want to have another child now?

He thought that this time she would persuade him to take a concubine, but Ye Nanyue did not do so. Instead, she actively helped him cancel the marriage proposal from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she also helped with the Princess's Mansion.

Lu Huaiyang didn't know the reason, but he didn't dare to ask more.
