The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Of course, not many people were against it, but quite a few were willing to send their daughters to the palace to enjoy a life of luxury.

What's your opinion on this matter?

After a moment of contemplation, the Crown Prince spoke, “I believe that if we abolish the rule that the selected ladies cannot be engaged or married, those families who are unwilling to send their daughters to the palace will definitely be more willing to marry them off quickly.”

"This also subtly excludes some unwilling people, which is a good thing for everyone."

The Emperor inwardly agreed; this was what he had been thinking before summoning the Crown Prince. "Alright, let's do it this way."

The Crown Prince was very happy. He still had a lot to say. Seeing that the Crown Prince was in a good mood, the Emperor did not say anything more and planned to go back to the palace to continue reviewing memorials. Even after he had stood up, the Crown Prince still spoke.

"I will issue an edict to abolish this rule. Let them marry whoever they want; it's up to them."

"Yes, some people who are unwilling to enter the palace or get involved in royal affairs will naturally find a way to get married, which also avoids the fact that they will have an uncomfortable life in the palace and cause trouble in the harem."

"Yes." The Emperor shared this view. At his age, a few women in the harem were enough. The focus this time wasn't on choosing for him, but rather for his sons.

"During this selection process, I will also give you a Crown Princess as a first choice."

"Father, no, I am not in good health and really do not want to force others. It would be better for me to live alone."

The Emperor looked up at him, his gaze deep and unfathomable. "Do you not wish to accept the position of Crown Prince?"

The crown prince hesitated. He had indeed thought about it before, but as his health deteriorated, he knew that he was not destined for the position above him; at best, he could only be the crown prince.

But now, he knows his own body well. Some of the congenital defects he had in his mother's womb have almost disappeared, which is nothing short of a miracle.

Before he regained his health, he could quietly remain an invisible crown prince, watching his younger brothers fight amongst themselves, knowing that he would never be the one to sit in that position.

After recovering, he thought about many things, but in the end he was still willing to take that position.

The imperial family has no fathers and sons, no brothers. Although the princes seem to be doing well now, if it really comes to the final crucial moment, I'm afraid none of them will spare their sick crown prince.

He might as well take the throne himself, so he can take better care of his mother for the first half of the year.

"Your subject is willing." The Crown Prince knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the ground, and said very seriously, as if he were completing some kind of handover ceremony.

The Emperor was somewhat satisfied with the Crown Prince, saying, "It's good that you know. This position will be handed over to you as your health gradually improves."

"My dear father, thank you very much."

"So how can an emperor without children become a prince? Is this what you mean by not marrying?"

It turned out to be waiting here.

After thinking for a moment, the crown prince said seriously, "I said we shouldn't get married now, not that we shouldn't get married in the future."

"It's different. Some of your brothers already have children, but what about you? You don't even have a Crown Princess yet. If you remain childless, I'm afraid those ministers will eventually jump out and oppose you. What will you do then?"

The crown prince remained silent. Perhaps he hadn't thought things through enough. He was thinking of waiting another two years and seeing how things went. Besides, his position didn't require a woman to have a powerful family background.
