Prince Xin noticed that his father did not question him, but instead questioned his son, and after initially being taken aback, a secret joy surged within him.
Prince Xin's son was also surprised, as usually in such situations, they—the grandchildren—were mere listeners, since their fathers were present, so when would they have a turn to speak?
Except for Huangfu Yuxuan, since Prince Liang, having served as the Crown Prince for many years, held official duties, and even at a young age, he was able to stand apart from the court.
When the Emperor posed a question, Prince Xin's son was both happy and slightly nervous; he quickly set down his wine cup, performed a salute, and said, "Grandfather, your grandson believes that the candidate should be both dignified and knowledgeable, of noble birth, and with outstanding appearance, as she represents Nanxia in a matrimonial alliance, not losing Nanxia's honor."
