There was nothing to hide about this matter, so Jiang Huan nodded.

The Emperor was curious now, “I remember that your estate is precious to you, you even refused to lend it to me initially. Why are you so generous in inviting someone over this time?”

Jiang Huan glanced at the Emperor and said unapologetically, “Last time, you wanted to use my estate for those barbaric foreigners. I am hosting a friend there. How could it be the same?”

The Emperor found it intriguing, seeing his Imperial Brother seemingly gentle but full of pride inside, with few people ever catching his eye. How long had he and Yunzhen known each other?

Jiang Huan understood what the Emperor was implying and nodded, “Yunzhen and I hit it off right from the start.”

He remembered the purpose of his visit to the palace and couldn’t help but ask, “Imperial Brother, I heard that you have arranged a marriage for Yunzhen and Shu He?”

The Emperor nodded and said with a smile, “That was settled years ago. My princess should indeed be paired with such a young hero.”

Something occurred to the Emperor, his eyes twinkling with amusement as he continued, “That lad Yunzhen insisted that he hadn’t accomplished enough to marry the princess without shame. Fortunately, Shu He was willing to wait. Otherwise, I suspect my grandchildren could already be running around.”

Jiang Huan furrowed his brows: According to what Yunzhen had said, Shu He’s lack of hurry over the marriage might not be out of consideration for Yunzhen, perhaps she was reluctant to marry?

He wanted to say something, but seeing the Emperor’s smiling face, seemingly very optimistic about this marriage, he swallowed his words.

It was better to wait and watch, to find some evidence before discussing it again with the Imperial Brother.

Jiang Huan bid farewell to the Emperor and prepared to leave the palace. Halfway there, he suddenly remembered that a Peony in the Imperial Garden was likely in bloom, so he diverted his steps towards it.

“Cousin, look at that Peony!” said a beautiful woman in red, her eyes brimming with affection as she looked at the tall, handsome man beside her, smiling.

The man inspected the Peony closely, then suddenly turned to the woman and said, “Though the Peony is beautiful, it pales in comparison to my cousin’s celestial beauty.”

These almost impudent words made the lady blush, and the two exchanged tender words for a while before slowly walking toward the distance.

Only after those two figures had disappeared did Jiang Huan emerge, his face ashen.

He recognized both of the individuals he had just seen: one was Princess Shu He, engaged to Yunzhen, and the other was the heir of Duke Zhuguo’s Mansion.

Seeing how they behaved, it was clear they had long been in mutual affection.

No wonder Yunzhen had said those words to him after getting drunk; no wonder Shu He was unwilling to marry.

Jiang Huan recalled Gu Shengyin, drunk and muttering to himself across from him, and he couldn’t help but feel for him. Consequently, he felt an additional dislike for his niece Shu He, for whom he had already harbored little affection.

He lost all interest in appreciating the Peony and turned to leave the palace.

“Your Highness, where should we go back to?”

“To General Fu’s Mansion.”

The green curtain carriage rolled toward a certain direction.

Gu Shengyin was practicing with the spear in his own courtyard. Fu Yunzhen had a habit; whenever he was in a bad mood, he would practice martial arts in the courtyard, seemingly able to vent all his frustrations this way.

She had parted on bad terms with Old General Fu, so naturally, she was in a poor mood.
