Chapter 699

After having lunch with the Empress Dowager in the palace, the Empress kept three daughters-in-law at Kunning Palace to play mahjong, and the three brothers were summoned by the Emperor to discuss political affairs.

The ancestral system established at the founding of the dynasty stated that after the princes married, they would be granted princedoms, along with respective fiefs. Just like Prince An's fiefdom is in the affluent south, and he has been living there for many years since the Emperor ascended the throne.

The Emperor summoned the three brothers to discuss the matter of the fiefdoms.

It was not until they had dinner at dusk that a few people left the Imperial Palace.

Outside the palace gate, Shangguan Xuanhao wanted to bring his delicate wife to the Sixth Prince's Mansion for a visit.

Shangguan Xuanyi decisively refused. It was almost dark out, and he planned to go back and sleep early with his girl, really seeing no reason to stay for a visit!
