Li Wanqing has been socializing outside for the past six months and has been so popular that she has lost her direction. She knows that everything she has is because her cousin is the regent. Now that her cousin is well, why not tie herself to him more firmly?
The servant reported: "The Regent Princess Xie came to visit Madam Li."
Mrs. Li hurriedly stuffed her daughter into the inner room and warned her not to come out. She rushed to the hall.
Seeing the pair slowly approaching, Ji Chenglin even held the new princess in his arms as they walked, deliberately slowing down his pace to accommodate her. Was this still her always cold nephew?
When he got closer and saw the new princess's face clearly, he realized that she was so beautiful, probably even more beautiful than her elder sister when she was young.

Madam Li turned pale, pulled her daughter to her, and scolded her:
"What nonsense are you making? It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. How can it matter whether they like it or not? If this gets out, your reputation will be ruined."
"Of course liking someone is important. Then cousin, do you like the princess?" Li Wanqing looked at Ji Chenglin expectantly.
