"I think Marquis Jingyuan isn't bad," Zuo Xiangrong smiled and said. "But didn't His Majesty promise me? We can discuss Xiangning's marriage at the end of the year. Let's just wait a few more months."
His Majesty looked at Zuo Xiangning who was simply hanging her head down, wiping the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and didn't show much reaction.
"Since Xiangning is unwilling, then let's wait some more." His Majesty chuckled as he teased Brother Hong for a while before departing.
Zuo Xiangning followed Zuo Xiangrong to send His Majesty off to the palace gate.
Once His Majesty had left, Zuo Xiangrong pulled Zuo Xiangning back to the room and asked in a low voice, "Did you come to the palace today knowing about Gu Zhiqing seeking a marriage decree?"
