But there’s a lot more than just personal feelings and your own agenda that come into play when your in a position of power like the emperor. (I might be getting my stories mixed up but iirc this dude is one of the few emperors that actually does his job as an emperor ie. during the whole foreign delegates pork incident he doesn’t get blinded and another event I don’t remember.)
Yeah he seems pretty stupid rn (but to be fair I wouldn’t know what to say if I were him) and it’s not like he can just selfishly be like “no I don’t want a concubine” when part of his job is to pass on his lineage and his wife is potentially infertile. There would also be a whole shit ton of politics that come with rejecting a ducal family (but I can’t really comment on this area)
