Xuanming, "The Grand Tutor agrees to annul the engagement?"
The Grand Tutor nodded. “A forced marriage will not be happy. If Your Highness is unwilling, this old minister will naturally find another suitable husband for my daughter.”
Xuanming looked at the Grand Tutor, feeling that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
He thought about it for a moment and then agreed.
"Clean up the side hall later so Miss Mu can take a nap during her afternoon break," he casually instructed Shadow.
The Grand Tutor knew that the matter had been settled.
He was pleased, and it showed on his face. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Xuanming looked exhausted and waved his hand, dismissing the Grand Tutor.
After seeing the Grand Tutor off, Shadow had someone tidy up the side hall before returning to find Xuanming.
Xuanming slightly opened his eyes, glanced at the shadow, and saw that his expression showed a faint displeasure.
"What's wrong?"
Shadow stepped forward to help Xuanming change his clothes, bowing his head and saying, "Your Highness's health is best suited for rest."

Then he followed the Grand Tutor into the mansion, noting, "The master seems very happy."
The Grand Tutor laughed and said, "Tomorrow morning, you go to see the young lady yourself and tell her that His Highness wants her to come to the palace every day to dine with him."
Butler Mu was startled and quickly said, "Your Highness has agreed? Didn't you want to annul the engagement before?"
The Grand Tutor gave Steward Mu a profound look and said, "Things should be done gradually."
Butler Mu, looking puzzled, accepted the order and left.
I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight.
The Grand Tutor rubbed his arm, thinking to himself.
He hasn't ridden a horse in a long time; his old arms and legs just can't keep up anymore.
I'm getting old.
