The Emperor asked emotionlessly, "Do you think by letting the tenth prince marry a woman of farmer origin as a princess, I am humiliating him?"
Prince Chu remained silent.
The Emperor continued, "If I let the tenth prince marry a woman from an aristocratic or official family, would that not be insulting him?"
Prince Chu still said nothing.
Silence was tantamount to acquiescence.
The Emperor was amused by Prince Chu's attitude, "Old Four, I, the late Emperor, and the late Empress Dowager were all farmers, does that mean I, as your father, am also insulting you?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Chu's expression changed dramatically, and he immediately knelt down, "Your son dares not, your son has no such intention."
