Chapter 397: Entering the Palace

After all the unrelated people left, only Emperor Jingxuan and Xiao Zhonghua were left in the imperial study.

Among Emperor Jing Xuan's many sons, his eldest son, Xiao Duye, had the most real power—the Associate Imperial Guard, and his second son, Xiao Jinyan, had the highest official position. He was the imperial envoy of Youzhou, and his third son, Xiao Zhonghua, was not the most valued.

The reason why he arranged a marriage for him with the Qin family was that the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince were already married. He could not let the daughter of the Protector Duke be the Secondary Consort of the Prince with military power.

As for his younger brothers, it was either their mother's family background was not good enough or they were too young to be suitable.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Zhonghua knew how much Emperor Jing Xuan doted on him.

He would not think that his father liked him so much just because this marriage landed on him.
