Zhao Shu shook her head. "A-Jun doesn't have any friends. But why did Grandmother want Sun Liu to be my study companion? I'm going to Guanzhou for three to five years and won't be able to return. Won't Sun Liu be delayed?"
Granny Zhong smiled but remained silent, instead mentioning something else: "Just now, I saw a young master who was extremely polite. Was he also a young master from the Huo family?"
"Yes, he is Aunt Huo's nephew, named Xian among the younger generation of the Huo family." Although Zhao Shu was surprised that Granny Zhong suddenly asked about Huo Gu Xian, she still answered.
Granny Zhong smiled, her expression inscrutable to Zhao Shu. "Young Master Huo has already obtained the imperial decree from the Empress Dowager at Cining Palace. Miss Huo and Young Master Huo are both going to Guanzhou. The Empress Dowager came today not only to inform the Princess that they will depart the day after tomorrow, but also to meet this Young Master Huo. Upon seeing him today, he truly is an exceptional individual, extremely handsome." She stopped there, curtsied, and said, "Princess, this servant will return to the palace to report."
Zhao Shu was speechless...
When Granny Zhong returned to the palace, her face beaming with joy, the Empress Dowager greeted her with a smile and asked, "Are you fully recovered? Are you back to your usual energetic and mischievous self?"
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? The princess is very sensible now and cares about you. She tells you not to worry and that she doesn't blame you at all. In fact, she feels very guilty." Granny Zhong said, picking out what the Empress Dowager wanted to hear.

Granny Zhong did not expose the Empress Dowager, but said with a smile, "I saw him, I saw him. He looks very similar to Mr. Huo. Both of them have good looks."
"It's a pity she's a bit younger than Ah Jun," the Empress Dowager muttered to herself.
Granny Zhong immediately chimed in, "A girl three years older is like a golden brick. I saw that the princess was holding a Bodhi seed bracelet, which must have been given to her by Young Master Huo. She is so intelligent at such a young age, she is sure to be extraordinary in the future."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager actually liked Huo Guxian very much, but she still said, "It's a pity that his birth mother was born at a low birth price."
“Compared to the current matriarch of the Huo family, she is certainly of a lower rank, but she is still from a scholarly family,” Granny Zhong quickly added.
However, the Empress Dowager still seemed dissatisfied. "I still feel that A-Jun can find someone better. Well, let's keep her for now."
Zhao Shu was unaware that Huo Guxian had already been labeled as her backup option.
