Xiao Jinyan originally wanted to discuss with the Emperor how to persuade the Empress to let Shen Chuwei return, but the Emperor pushed the responsibility onto him, telling him to figure it out himself.
It's as though only he wants to bring back little ninth, as if Father doesn't miss being alone with Mother?
"Father makes a good point, Mother is fond of the Crown Princess and the babies, and I can't bring them back just yet," he said.
The Emperor, none too pleased, said, "That's why I'm telling you to think of a solution. The Crown Prince is so clever; surely, you can come up with a way."
Being my son, of course, you should share my worries and relieve my burdens. Otherwise, how would he get the chance to visit the Empress's palace every night to coax her?
Thinking about coaxing the Empress, the Emperor felt a wave of melancholy again, as he had been too busy with state affairs lately to come up with an effective plan.
