I'm a female doctor, not a matchmaker!
It seemed that Consort Shin had started talking non-stop.
"Fanghua is gentle and soft-hearted, lacks assertiveness, and is timid. She's too embarrassed to come, so I, her mother, have to make the trip. The original marriage was arranged by the late emperor... ugh! It was that wicked man who decided it, and we dared not refuse..."
