The emperor chuckled, "My agreement alone isn't enough; you must ask the others present if they agree."
The princess made the suggestion, and it was none other than Princess Huixin, whom the emperor greatly favored. Everyone had eyes, so of course they wouldn't spoil the fun.
Lady Zhongqin, the princess, chimed in, "Princess, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us. We can't wait any longer."
Princess Huixin looked around confidently, and Chu Yuan wondered if it was just her imagination, but the princess's gaze seemed to linger on her the longest.
Given that Princess Huixin had once been fond of Song Tangyin, alarm bells rang in Chu Yuan's mind.
