When Xueying saw that Wuxiha was asking seriously, her heart stirred. The secret she kept in her heart was something she had never revealed to anyone except herself.
"Xueying, what's wrong?" Wuxiha asked, noticing the unusual look on Xueying's face.
"Ah, it's nothing. Ushiha, have you met someone you like?" Xueying quickly asked, trying to hide her true feelings.
"I don't know if I like him, but I just feel that I don't dislike him when I'm with him, and I'm quite happy," Ushiha couldn't help but say. This was the first time she had talked about Suhar, that foreign man, with anyone. But she thought that if her mother and father found out, they would definitely not agree to her being with a foreigner.
"What kind of person is he?" Xueying couldn't help but ask curiously.
“He is very skilled; he knows acrobatics and can throw knives. He always appears and disappears unexpectedly, but every time he does, it catches me completely off guard,” Ushiha said.
Xueying listened with some hesitation. Such behavior did not sound like that of a scion of a noble family, while Wuxiha's identity must be that of a prominent family or a foreign prince.
"Ushiha, do you know your status? I'm afraid you can't just marry a commoner!" Xueying said. From a young age, she had been taught about the family mission she would bear: either enter the palace as a concubine or marry into a powerful family. This was all part of her predetermined destiny.
Ushiha, who had just been full of excitement, clearly wilted after hearing Xueying's words.
"Xueying! So far, all the scions of noble families I've met are either those who have benefited from their grandfathers' influence but don't know what talents or virtues they possess; or those who rose to prominence through marriage through the maternal relatives of the emperor. They're all so boring!" Wuxi said. "My mother and father are both looking for noble families for me, but I really don't want to marry into one!"
Xueying seemed to have been touched on a sore spot by Wuxiha, and sighed, "There will always be a man who suits your heart! Why don't we go and draw lots for marriage fortunes on the fifteenth of the first lunar month?"
Ushiha nodded and said, "Okay, let's go draw lots together!"
"It's getting late, I'm going back now, you should get some rest!" Xueying said.
“Okay, I’ll deliver the sachet to you!” Ushiha said.
After Xueying left, Wuxihai couldn't help but think that the person would be handing over the door sticker tomorrow.
Ushiha has already spoken to Lanqin, but she hasn't gone to tell Fourth Master yet; however, Lanqin will.
Meanwhile, Fourth Master came to Lanqin's place and indeed brought up the matter.
"Foreigners?" Fourth Master asked with surprise when Lanqin mentioned it.
“Yes, Ushiha said this man is a prince of Dayuan. She has met him several times. Today, that girl begged me to go out, but she encountered some scoundrels at the overpass. Fortunately, he came to her rescue! I think our Ushiha seems to have some feelings for him!” Lanqin said.
This was the first time Fourth Prince had heard that Wuxiha had someone he liked, but it was a foreigner from Dayuan, such a distant place with no connection to the Qing Dynasty.
"Dayuan has no connection with our Great Qing because the distance is very far, and the Silk Road has not been peaceful in recent years, which has further severed ties with countries that do not border our Great Qing!" Fourth Prince said. "Wuxiha is of royal blood and cannot be married off easily. Besides, she has married so far away, and you are reluctant to let her go!" Fourth Prince said.
Alright! That's what they mean by disagreement! Lanqin knew that Fourth Master wouldn't agree, after all, it had little to do with the Qing Dynasty and was so far away!
