The Fifteenth Prince's bluntness made the Second Princess Shi feel embarrassed.

She said, "My mother and sister both say that the Fifteenth Prince is a good person."

"What do you think?" the Fifteenth Prince asked expectantly.

Princess Shi Er smiled at him, then quickly turned her head away and whispered, "After meeting the Fifteenth Prince, I also think you are very nice."

“The Fifteenth Prince is a good person,” Princess Shi Er added.

For some inexplicable reason, the Fifteenth Prince seemed to have a telepathic connection with Princess Shi. He was certain that Princess Shi meant he would be a good husband.

The Fifteenth Prince excitedly picked a flower, which he thought was the prettiest, and gave it to the Second Princess Shi.

"Now that I can leave the palace, just tell me if you want to go out and have fun, and I'll take you shopping. If it's inconvenient to go out, you can also tell me what you like, and I'll buy it for you. There's not much to spend money on in the palace, so I've saved up quite a bit of silver." The Fifteenth Prince tried his best to please his future wife, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Princess Shi Er smiled, her face flushed: "If there's a chance."

“There will definitely be an opportunity. We are Manchus, and we are not as strictly controlled as Han women. Besides, the imperial decree has decreed our marriage, so we are a betrothed, and there’s no harm in us getting closer. It’s just a pity that you don’t come to the palace often. There are many fun and interesting places in the palace,” the Fifteenth Prince said regretfully.

Princess Shi Er held the flowers in her hand, thinking they were the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen.

"I haven't mastered the palace rules yet. But I'll try my best to learn them quickly. That way, I'll have more time," said Princess Shi Er.

"No rush, no rush, take your time. I'm willing to wait for you. After all, we have a long, long time ahead of us." The Fifteenth Prince was both happy and didn't want to tire her out.

Princess Shi Er mustered her courage, looked at him, and said softly, "I don't want to disappoint you. Since you love me, I want to work hard for you."

When two people who are kindred spirits meet for the first time, time flies by.

They were having a pleasant chat when a palace maid sent by Shi Xiuzhu to look for someone arrived, interrupting their date.

"Second Princess, it's almost time for your meal. The Crown Princess is worried that you'll be hungry, so she sent me to invite you back," the maid said.

Princess Shi Er glanced shyly at the Fifteenth Prince and said, "I'll go back now."

"But where will the Fifteenth Prince dine?" Princess Shi Er was concerned about the Fifteenth Prince.

The fifteenth prince's eyes were full of tenderness; he was very happy that she was thinking of him.

"The Crown Princess instructed that if the Fifteenth Prince is free, he may join us for a meal," the palace maid said.

"It should be a family banquet hosted by the Crown Princess at noon, so I won't disturb her," said the Fifteenth Prince.

He then explained to Princess Shi Er, "I promised my mother yesterday that I would have lunch at her palace today. It's not that I don't want to keep you company."

“I understand,” said Princess Shi Er.

After Shi Ergege went back, only her family remained in the house; even Tong Wanyan had returned to Nanyuan.

Shi Xiuzhu, not seeing the Fifteenth Prince follow, asked curiously, "Do you still like it?"

"Alright, you don't need to answer. Judging from your expression, I know you're satisfied," Shi Xiuzhu said.

Shi Ergege nestled in Shi Fujin's arms, pouting as she complained, "Mother, look, my sister always laughs at me."

“Your sister is concerned about you,” said Shi Fujin. “Amitabha, your marriage was my biggest worry. Fortunately, the Emperor has chosen the right match, and it will become a beautiful story.”
