Azi pulled Di Jingcheng to the center of the main hall and earnestly said to her parents, "Father, Mother, this is the husband I've chosen for myself. He's very good, and you'll like him!"
Nalan Mingzhu sized up the man before her. Yimeng had said that this was the emperor of the capital, and indeed he exuded an air of nobility, a dragon among men.
However, she did not approve of her daughter entering the palace.
