"You'll know when you encounter it," was all she could say in the end.
Xie Qinglan nestled in her arms, wiping away her tears. With a red nose, she choked out, "I will get married. I hope the person I marry will let me know what true love is."
Shen Youying smiled and tidied her hair: "Yes, I will."

Xue Shen reluctantly sat with the two for a short while before completely losing patience.
Instead of staring at King Chen, I'd rather go tease his kitten.
He spotted Shen Youying in another pavilion in the distance and said to the two of them, "Please sit down. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he ignored their expressions and drove away in his wheelchair.
Seeing him leave, the King of Chu gave the King of Chen a "good luck" look, then chased after Xue Shen, saying, "Second brother, it's been a long time. Let's find a place to catch up." He then explained in a low voice, "Today I was ordered by Father, and I really couldn't refuse, so—"
“I know all this, otherwise I wouldn’t bother playing along with his act.” Xue Shen waved his hand to stop him. Without Prince Chen by his side, even his expression was brighter. He looked at Shen Youying not far away and smiled, “I’ll take you to meet your sister-in-law. You won’t be in Tokyo on my wedding day, so remember to give her the wedding gift and red envelope.”
"Whose fault is it that I couldn't attend the wedding banquet?" King Chu complained, "Who knew you would actually ask the Emperor to grant you this marriage, and you got married in such a hurry. I'm in Jiangzhe, even if ten horses ran themselves to death, I still couldn't get back."
"Master Huodong calculated my destiny and said that the princess is my benefactor, and the wedding will bring me good luck." Xue Shen said, "Since it's for good luck, we can't wait a moment longer."
The King of Chu shook his head, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself: "You still keep those Taoist priests?"
He had always disapproved of Xue Shen associating too much with these Taoist priests and alchemists. Those elixirs might have a temporary effect, but they would cause endless harm. However, Xue Shen's temperament was becoming increasingly extreme, and this matter concerned Xue Shen's health, so sometimes he didn't dare to oppose it too strongly and could only cautiously probe the issue.
Xue Shen nodded in agreement: "I know what you're trying to say, brother. Stop it. Don't say anything I don't like to hear."
King Chu thought to himself, "As expected," and had no choice but to stop, turning the topic to Shen Youying: "I've never seen you introduce the people in the inner quarters to me before, so it seems you care quite a bit about this princess."
Xue Shen glanced at him, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "How can those people compare to her?"
She is Shen Mingjiang's Achilles' heel.
She was the princess he had painstakingly married.
