Fearing Princess Hua Chang would see through her, Ji Qingwu hastily lowered her gaze.
'So Emperor Wu Su is also troubled by this matter,' she thought.
'Does this mean my place in his heart can almost be weighed against the military power in Wei Ting's hands, leaving him unable to make a choice? Is that why he's so conflicted?'
'But he wants me to be the one to refuse this marriage.'
'It would be better for him, and for me, that way.'
Ji Qingwu asked, "Eldest Princess, are you here because of Wei Ting's proposal to marry me in court?"
Seeing how frankly she spoke, Princess Hua Chang thought that perhaps, contrary to the rumors, the Ji Family's Fifth Missy was not so deeply in love with Wei Ting after all.
She shook her head and said bluntly, "Matters of the heart are the most difficult to understand. I can't even figure out my own, so how would I have the mind to meddle in yours?"
Princess Hua Chang's gaze sharpened, and her words slowed. "I came for another matter."
