The Emperor laughed heartily, "Imperial Sister, your temper is still so fiery. Alright, alright, I understand. It's not too late to choose a Prince Consort for Shoukang after the spring imperial examinations in the year after next."
He pondered for a moment, "However, I'm afraid that marrying a woman of too low a standing might not befit the responsibility of being the mistress of the Duke Mansion, Yu Zhi."
The Princess gave the Emperor a sidelong glance and said in a half-joking, half-serious tone, "Is Your Majesty now also going to meddle in the domestic affairs of ministers?"
The Emperor laughed and waved his hand, "I won't, I won't. I only concern myself with state affairs."
"Come, come, Yan Aiqing, let's continue playing chess."
The Princess stood up, "You continue, Your Majesty. I take my leave."
The Emperor waved his hand, and the Princess withdrew.
As she walked out to the door, the Princess gave a signal to the eunuch guarding the entrance.
