Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
Shen Jingchuan saved the Regent? How come they haven't heard of that?
No wonder this prince, who is usually aloof, took the initiative to sit in the Shen family's seat.
Shen Zhiyi accepted the horn bow with both hands, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"Good luck in the competition, Miss Shen."
After he finished speaking, he coughed and left.
The young lady who was wounded by the arrow left the palace early, citing illness, while the shooting competition continued. Wei Mingzhen was furious but helpless.

She simply knelt down and said, "Your Majesty's bestowal of this marriage is my blessing. How could I feel wronged?"
When Zhou Xuance returned after taking his medicine, he happened to arrive just as the Emperor bestowed a marriage upon him, and the court officials offered their congratulations.
