Xiao Yuanzhao and others were stunned.
He only meant to ask the question jokingly, but his imperial brother actually admitted it outright?
"Imperial Brother, you really know how to joke," he muttered to break the silence.
However, Xiao Yuanwei obviously wasn't joking. He had a serious face as he shook his head. "Thank you for the compensation, Your Majesty."
Realizing that there was no trace of joking in Xiao Yuanwei's face, he fell silent for a moment, trying to process the new information.
"Are you being serious?" Xiao Yuanzhao asked. While the people around him were still in surprise, he recovered quickly. He probed. "Who is this lucky lady?"
All people in the Capital knew that Xiao Yuanwei was single—a good marriage prospect if they wanted to have a closer relationship with the person at the highest seat of power, the Emperor.
Many nobles couldn't wait to send their talented daughters to him.
