Wei Shuwan had no appetite and was ready to leave at any moment. Seeing that she was a little anxious, Li Qingchen said, "Actually, before you came, I had already sent someone to tell Consort Wen that she would try to invite His Majesty to dinner at Lanxinzhai tonight in order to get information out of him."
Upon hearing this, Wei Shuwan's eyes lit up immediately. "Then Consort Wen will send someone to bring the message back to you later, right?"

Wei Shuwan's heart trembled. In her previous life, the delegation returned to Ziyi Kingdom first to report the news, and the princess only set off for the marriage alliance several months later. But in this life, it was earlier than expected...
