Huangfu He replied, “Zhang Miaozhen is not bad, but…”

He struggled with how to say it. Although Zhang Miaozhen and Liu Shixiu seemed to have similar qualities, he preferred Liu Shimei’s talent and her sharp and distinctive aura. He just could not appreciate Zhang Miaozhen’s mild and unassertive nature.

“Zhang Miaozhen won’t do,” Qu Yingrong said firmly. “The Zhang family is known for their strict principles and loyalty to the Emperors throughout generations. It’s almost impossible to win their favor until you ascend to the throne. Besides, even if he marries his granddaughter to you, if you do something he disapproves of, he might even risk his life to remonstrate with you.”

Since it aligned with his thoughts, Huangfu He remained silent.

Qu Yingrong continued, “Regarding Miao Linglong… 1 always feel something is off about Duke An’s Residence. We need to send people to investigate more before making any rash moves. But we can’t be too slow either; time is passing quickly, and Mid-Autumn Festival is just a few months away!”

“Yes! 1 understand,” Huangfu He replied.

Qu Yingrong did not sit for too long. After saying what she needed to say, she left.

Huangfu He walked her to the door and returned to the courtyard. He stared at the night sky for a long time and thought, “Should 1 pursue her? It’s not that 1 can’t, but… she seems unwilling!”

Huangfu He was unhappy in the Central Palace, and so was Huangfu Lingyao of the Deer Seeking Hall in the West Palace.

After dinner, he felt melancholic again.

Li Xin helped him retrieve the books he had hidden under the bed and saw his gloomy appearance. He asked, “Master, what are you thinking about?”

“Do you think my butt will recover tomorrow?” Huangfu Lingyao glanced at him.

Li Xin’s lips twitched, and he said, “Master, are you trying to make Eldest Miss Liu worry about you with this?”

He received a fierce glare from Huangfu Lingyao and had no choice but to remain silent.

However, after a while, Huangfu Lingyao sighed with worry and said, “Li Xin, I’m in a dilemma. I want her to worry about me, but I’m also afraid of making her sad. What should I do?”

Li Xin really wanted to say ‘Don’t bother!’ Neither option works. Isn’t this just troubling oneself?

However, he still admired Eldest Miss Liu a lot!

Originally, His Highness was not such a sentimental person, but after meeting Miss Liu, he became quite sensitive and indecisive!

Look, when Li Xin kept quiet, Huangfu Lingyao’s expression immediately changed from the previous distressed look to a sharp and resentful one. “I asked you a question!”

Li Xin sighed in his heart and suggested, “Why not… draw lots to decide?”

However, his master did not even consider his proposal and said, “Forget it, forget it. It’s been several days since 1 saw my future wife. She must be worried. Tomorrow, I’ll leave the palace and visit her.”

Li Xin was speechless.

When he was the Silly Second Prince, he was an idiot, but when he was himself, he became an unpredictable and moody master. He had made up his mind, but still, he asked me what to do? Even if 1 tell him, he won’t listen to my advice!

He secretly gritted his teeth in his heart and thought, ‘Your Highness, You keep showing off in front of me. You’ll see when Eldest Miss Liu finds out you’re just pretending. You’ll be in trouble! This future Princess Dun Yu is not easy to handle; she has her own ideas and won’t be easily manipulated!’

But he did not dare to say such words. That would require tremendous courage. He just asked, “We received a message that the Empress went to the Eastern Palace, dismissed all the attendants, and spent about the time of burning incense before leaving. I wonder what she wanted to discuss with the Crown Prince.”

Huangfu Lingyao’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “What else can they talk about? The most crucial matter right now is the selection of a future princess. It’s not about choosing a woman, but choosing the family behind the woman!”

Li Xin wholeheartedly agreed.

Huangfu Lingyao said, “Prepare everything for me. Tomorrow, I’m going to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence to visit my wife.”

“Yes!” Li Xin replied..
