Unlike the young men from aristocratic families who had lowered their heads just now, the daughters of aristocratic families all inadvertently adjusted the gold and silver hairpins in their hair and looked at Qi Yuning.

Emperor Shiyuan asked, "Yuning, do you have a suitable candidate for sister-in-law?"

Qi Yuning smiled and said, "I have it. I will tell His Majesty the good news after my brother replies and makes a decision."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shiyuan smiled and said, "The sister-in-law that Yuning has chosen must be a good one. I am looking forward to the wedding banquet."

After the longevity banquet.

Qi Yuning returned home to prepare the items for the sacrifice to the imperial mausoleum. Fearing that the journey to the mausoleum was too long and he would not be able to get back in a day, he also prepared a lot of things needed for the night. This trip would probably require three large carriages.

Hearing the maid come to report that Lu Ze wanted to see her, Qi Yuning frowned and let him in.

Lu Ze saw the boxes and cages facing Qi Yuning in the courtyard and asked, "Is the princess moving?"

Qi Yuning said: "No, I'm going to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow."

Lu Ze couldn't understand why a trip to the imperial mausoleum would require so many boxes and crates. He chuckled and said, "The princess said that Prince Qi has already been engaged. I wonder which girl he's engaged to?"

Qi Yuning raised his eyes and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Lu Ze said, "I have a younger sister who has admired Prince Qi for a long time. Is she asking me to come and ask about this as an excuse, or is the marriage really arranged?"

Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze and said, "Could it be that Lu Baozhu asked you to come and ask this?"

Lu Ze smiled and said, "If it was Baozhu, I would have rejected her directly. It's Baoxue."

Qi Yuning had a very good impression of Lu Ze, her little cousin, so she said, "The marriage hasn't been decided yet. It's because the Song family's daughter was plotting against her by her stepmother, so I used my brother's marriage to help her delay it for a year or so.

Although Beimo has surrendered for more than ten years, there are still many remnants of Beimo who want to restore their country. Twenty people in our Qi family were buried in Beicheng. It is absolutely impossible for the remnants of Beimo to restore their country in Beicheng. I am afraid that my brother will have to guard Beicheng forever.

That place, with yellow sand all over the sky and so dry it makes one's nose bleed, is such a miserable place. How can Baoxue, a pampered daughter of a duke, endure such suffering?"
