Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Long Qian Xing and snorted. He had already waited here for some time and watched the two of them walking around. In fact, he began to wonder when did Long Qian Xing learned to be that considerate.
When they were studying, Long Qian Xing would never hold back just because he's the prince
"No need for formalities, Nan Hua." Emperor Yang Zhou waved his hand at Nan Hua then looked at Long Qian Xing. "I thought that you're the one who asked me to come here?"
"I did, but it's for you too." Long Qian Xing shrugged. "Anyone you would like to pick among those women? If you don't want to pick by yourself, I'm sure Her Highness Empress Dowager Yan would be more than happy to pick your future bride by herself."
"I don't care either way."
Long Qian Xing was speechless.
Fine, whatever. The one who got married was this man anyway. He shouldn't have stick his nose where he doesn't belong.
And he had long known that Emperor Yang Zhou didn't care about these women because in his eyes, they were all the same. These women just wanted him because of the honorable position that could be offered to them. Their families were pushing them forward because they wanted more power.
He, as the Emperor, was just a tool for them.
Emperor Yang Zhou didn't really like it, but at the very least, he could still control their ranks within his harem to prevent them from destroying the delicate balance in the political world.
As for who he spent the night with?
That would depend on that card….
The eunuch would prepare several cards in which the Emperor could flip. Each of them would write different names of women and whoever was picked would be the one who will spend the night with him.
That was the custom.
And Emperor Yang Zhou simply followed it because he didn't care.
Long Qian Xing also knew about this matter and it was also because of this that he had strong opposition when someone joked that he should be the Emperor. He didn't want to be restrained by such rules and had to entertain so many women.
For him, it would be better to be free.
One person is enough.
In any case, he was not a person of this era, so Long Qian Xing could only restrain his thoughts in front of others and didn't dare to be so obvious.
Emperor Yang Zhou is a person of this era, so he had different way of thinking from Long Qian Xing.
Anyway, he had no interest in meddling with his friend's interest and household problems.
