"Did the Crown Prince not come to pay his respects to you today?" Hua Shunming suddenly changed the subject. Appointing the Eldest Prince as the Crown Prince had been a decision made after much deliberation.
Even aside from his status as the legitimate eldest son, the Eldest Prince was the most satisfactory among the Princes. Hua Shunming only hoped he could maintain his character and not be led astray by his maternal relatives.
Empress Zhou replied, "Holy Emperor, you have forgotten. The Crown Prince should be waiting for you in the Imperial Study Room at this hour."
Hua Shunming paused. "I really did forget. As I grow older, my health is truly not what it used to be. These wretched servants didn't even think to remind me. Hurry up and summon the Crown Prince here!"
Le San hurriedly bowed and retreated. The eunuchs had thought of reminding the Emperor, but even with ten times their courage, they wouldn't have dared interrupt him.
