The palace maids and eunuchs were all bewildered by the strange topic the princess and General Zhang's eldest daughter were discussing.
At the end of the conversation, Xingxing said, "I didn't expect we would get along so well and have such a pleasant chat. How about this, come visit me in the palace whenever you have time, and we can chat together again."
Zhang Xiantao was a little annoyed. She didn't understand how they ended up talking about marriage, the relationship between the husband's family and the daughter-in-law.
