In the horse carriage returning to the Duke's Mansion, the Old Duke asked, "You truly fancy the maid beside the Crown Princess Consort?"
Jian Lecheng replied, "Could it be false? For this, I've visited the Eastern Palace multiple times, trying to get close to Chun Xia Qiudong."
"So how did it turn out?"
"None of the four are willing to actively engage with me." Jian Lecheng turned sideways to sit, looked at his grandfather, and sincerely asked, "Grandfather, tell me, what's wrong with your grandson?"
The Old Duke squinted slightly: "In terms of looks, you have them; in terms of stature, you're well-built. Currently, you're a subordinate of the Eastern Palace, and in the future, you'll be a backbone of the New Emperor. You're excellent in every aspect."
A grandson is naturally the pride of one's own family!
Jian Lecheng sighed, "Yet, all of Chun Xia Qiudong refuse to accept my affection."
